Update on Life

Wow....Can't believe I have waited so long to write on here...
Little sister is here. She came VERY quickly a week before her due date a very small *(for a Calico/Johnson baby) 6lbs 13oz...but man is she feisty! She continues to be tiny...coming in at a whopping 13lbs at her 6 month check up. I must admit she is the most beautiful little gift from God though. Being her mother may make me partial though..
She has gotten 2 teeth that she likes to shine at you, and is currently trying to sit by herself. It amazes me how different she is from her brother...Not only the high pitch cry that I am amazed comes from her little  mouth, but also how at this time we were trying to stop Tucker from crawling and he was already pulling up.... sister is just sitting.   I'm not going to lie though I always said I wanted my second child to be lazy because Tucker was sooooo over the top. Well. I. Got. Her..
Now to Tucker.
He is so stinking smart. Must get it from his mother. haha.
No he really is. Not only do I have to be careful about everything I say; I have to be double careful about what I do. In fact I believe that he locked his babysitter outside the other day. Thank goodness she knows him and had alternate routes into the home. We recently had a small set back though. Since Little Miss has been here he is having a hard time sleeping by himself and after my legs going numb in a toddler bed for 2 weeks straight I made the decision to buy him a Twin bed...and he loves it! This means not only Patrick but I got the first full nights rest in 6 months last week...YEA!

Well I guess I will try to keep up with this a little better....

Hospital

Drinking his Sprite.

Tucker had his first Emergency Room visit this past week. No, surprisingly he did not hurt himself. This time it was just one SICK baby... When Patrick went to pick him up on Monday from Rah Rah's he had slept over half the day. I just shrugged it off to us visiting Papa's house last weekend and not sleeping or taking naps like he was used to. Then around 8 I noticed he felt a little warm, after his bath I gave him some Ibuprofen and reminded myself that I would need to wake up at 12 to give him some more. When I woke up at 12 to get him some Tylenol I felt the poor guy...He was so hot it was hard for me to touch him. After panicking and waking Patrick we took his temperature. Now this would not have been difficult but Tucker had found the thermometer a few weeks ago and walked around playing with it making it beep for a good hour before I realized what he was playing with. (I know, I am so observant). Anyway I looked at the temperature and it said 38.9 C. Okay I have no clue how he did this but Tucker had converted my thermometer to C....yea who can read that? anyway, After running to the computer I realized that he had 104 F temp...and I panicked again!
We got to the hospital and were sitting in the waiting room when a group of people walked in...I really don't like to judge people, but you know those people that make you cling harder to your children, the ones with 5 different colors in their hair and non of them are natural looking...I mean yea...At this time I realize that we forgot Tucker's sippy in the car..Patrick turns to me and laughs and says are you sure you want me to go and get it...I decided Tucker wasn't thirsty...but only after two of them started make gestures which included their mouths and fingers at each other through a window....YEA!..right there in the waiting room.
Anyway after seeing the doc we figured out that Tucker had a sever ear infection (that he never told me about, and we all know now how observant I am)and a sore throat. He got a shot of antibiotics that he did not enjoy and we got back to bed around 2:30...
Yep it was an eventful night, but I am happy to report that he is currently feeling great and full of it!

Time Seems to Fly

Well it has been a while since I have wrote on here but it seems like I have only turned around twice.

One of the biggest updates is that we found out that the baby is a GIRL...her name is going to be Maggie Elizabeth...I can't wait to meet her!



Love her already!


Tucker is now 15 wait almost 16 months old...He is getting so big and sooooo ornery!
His favorite word right now is No and Baby...He will point at anyone's stomach and say "Baby?" lol...I think the babysitter is starting to get a complex. lol...I was looking at a picture of him the other day in it he was only a week old, I just can't believe how big he is...at the last doc appointment he weighed 27lbs but I think he may have gained since then(or I'm getting weaker). He also was 34 inches tall...
I can defiantly see him turning into a toddler and we are contemplating getting him a big boy bed. Patrick thinks if we do that we may want to build a 6 ft chicken coop around it...I have decided he may be a little sceptical of Tucker staying in the bed....but why???? Tucker has also learned how to open all the doors in the house so now it seems like we live in a prison where you have to have a master key to open any and all doors...Life is defiantly interesting at the moment, but I wouldn't change any of it...
He is Grrring at Lulu...





My newest nephew...Kael Baby...he is almost 5 months old now :(

Why the Mail?

You go about your everyday life and don't think about some things day to day. You get into a somewhat "Normal" routine. I mean the closest thing to normal. Get up, take Tucker to RahRah's, go to work, come home, make dinner, play with Tucker and Lula, bed and then start all over again. Then you do something like checking the mail. Why check the mail? I mean all it usually has in it are bills and junk mail. What is the fun anyway? But when something you are not expecting like a letter from the Oncology clinic comes in the mail your heart stops and you go back. You know, back. I thought for a while. Did I not pay them? Why would they send me something? then I opened it. It was just a letter confirming another PET scan schedualed for November. Really I thought 7 months before I have to panic and you send me a letter? Then I thought of Tucker and the baby growing inside me. What if something did Heaven forbid show up on the scan. Then I thought about the night I met Patrick. I was half broken, weak even. But he didn't care. He didn't care that it could come back, he didn't care that the hair on my head at that moment was a wig, he didn't care that my immune system was so fragile that getting sick could send me straight to the hospital. Crazy man instead fell in love with me. asked me to marry him even. I look back and thank God that He knew I needed this man to be in my life, forever. But I still can't help but think what if? what if? I mean, what if, I know he is a strong man but I pray that I never leave him in that situation. I pray that these babies realize and know what kind of man their daddy is. I love him for the son, brother, father, man he is. for the man he is.

Mike Who?

Tucker had just been put down for a nap and I was thinking it sounded like a great plan to take one myself when Patrick plopped into the recliner and turned on the tv. He was in an interesting mood for a Saturday. Normally he would have been on the couch with me fighting over who got enough room to be comfortable, but no he had an agenda. Then it came on, the press conference. Yes he stood and clapped there in the living room. Arkansas Razorbacks announce Mike Anderson as the new head men's basketball coach. Really, I thought, you are going to wake the baby up over some stinking head coach announcement. Then they began to talk about the guy. Now Patrick didn't cry when he proposed to me, on our wedding day, or even at the birth of Tucker James. But now, yes now, when they announce that Mike Anderson is going to be head coach the man wells up with tears. (note that he did not actually cry, but his eyes did have water in them). I looked at him and asked if he was serious. He then proclaimed how great the man was and that he hadn't watched Arkansas Basketball since the guy left. He was just so proud of him. I just laughed and yes watched the whole stinking press conference. Looks like I will not only have to watch every football game next year...basketball is in now too...dang it!

Baby Williams #2

Yep we can offically scream it from the rooftops!

We are expecting Baby Williams #2. We are so excited. I think that Tucker is going to be the best big brother in the world...I've asked him if he wants a brother or sister and he replied "Bub". The only problem with that answer is that it could be a boy or girl because Patrick calls me bubba as a term of affection. (I don't understand it either). Well we just thought we would let everyone know. We went to the doctor this morning and the baby is measuring right on track. 9 weeks and 4 days. It's heart beat is at 180 and it was moving it's arms and legs like crazy...so sweet.

Patrick's Lesson

Well this week has been interesting. Patrick has stated that he has learned a very interesting lesson. I don't think he has learned anything, but what he says is what he thinks I guess.

The story starts out like every other lunch in the Williams' household, Patrick comes to the Bank, searches for the paper and after finding the sports section in random spots located around the Bank (thanks to Gary and the girls (they like to mess with him))he finally sits down for 5 minutes to talk and eat his sandwich. On this day he looked at me and said, "Honey I saw something in the Atwood's sale paper that I think I need." after rolling my eyes (yes we just bought a sprayer to pull behind the mower last week) I said, "What". He then states that it is a spreader, not to be confused with a sprayer. "This is for seeds and fertilizer" he said...I was like great! No, really I told him that we would talk about it when we got home.
Later that night I got home from work and soon after he called and said that he had to run by the co-op and get some ionic something-or-another to mix up to kill the weeds along with probably half of our yard. Well, 30 minutes later he showed up at the house, grinning I might add. I asked him what took so long and he said that the co-op was closed and he had to go to Atwood's to look for the ionic something-or-another but they didn't have it. That is when I knew something was up. He then stated, "Tucker bought me a Father's Day present". I had to refer him to the calander and let him know that Father's Day wasn't until June. He then pulls out the spreader he wanted. I looked in amazement. He has never just bought something I thought...He smiles at me and says..."forgiveness?" I just laughed and said, "wait till Mother's Day!" He then said with the straightest face ever, "Are you going to buy something for the yard too?" Ohhh my...my husband is amazing!

I guess you want to know Patrick's lesson...He now thinks he can get by with more if he just does it and then says "forgiveness"...haha we will see how long this lasts!



We have nicknamed Tucker "Linus".. He carries this blanket around most nights...I can't help but think he is too stinking cute.

Here are a few pics of him and Tuck Tuck playing

Baby Kael's Here!

Well after 21 & 1/2 hours of labor little Kael Evan Morrison came into this bright world.
To start you off I would like to elaborate on my journey to get to hold him because who really wants the mom's version? Anyway we started out on our 5 hour trip to Lawton, OK early Thursday morning. (Tucker travels better in the morning) We made it to Henryetta where we ate some breakfast and Tucker got a cold sippy cup of 1%milk, yep that is all McDonald's had (stinking healthy people ruining my baby). After 4 & 1/2 hours of driving Tucker was done and he was going to make sure that everyone knew about it. Despite all of the screaming we made it to Sister's house where we were met with Davin and Poppy (mom's boyfriend). Tucker was elated, I don't know if it was from getting to see Davin or just being out of the car. We hung around there until around 7:30. The reasoning behind this was the fact that sister was still at a 1 and had been since 7 that morning. I was hoping that all the fun would start once we got to the hospital, boy was I wrong. The Cable was out at the hospital so after all the fun conversations had passed all that was left was the 4 walls. The doctor was scheduled to stop by at 8 and then 9 ohhh there was 10 but he was a no show...(this is a military hospital, so they make their own time up) finally at 12 he showed up and seeing how she was still a 1 he thought it best to break her water and start a pit drip. Note that the anesthesia guy had just told us that in his experience she would probably be sent home or they may break her water and that usually ended in a c-section. Needless to say I was a little apprehensive of "the late" "this is what we are going to do" man that walked into the room. But I guess he knew what he was doing because only 2 hours later she was a 3. Then all crap broke loose. The baby's heart beat was gone, all of a sudden no baby. Kortney paniced and started pushing the button like it was a morphine drip to a drug addict. Needless to say the nurse only needed her to hit it once...I told her to calm down, you could plainly see that every now and again the heart beat would show up. I said "now listen it just fell off his poor little head". As the nurses raced in and threw the covers back my father decided it was time to leave the room. Just so everyone knows I was right, imagine that, the heart monitor had just fallen off his head, but it was time to push. As my mother walked in with breakfast I was trying to walk out with it. Then something happened. You know they say when you die that you see a bright light? Well my bright light closed, yep they closed the door on me. So I thought I will hide in the corner and wait for Kael to make his appearance. Nope that wouldn't happen either. The doctor shouts you, points to me, come hold her leg...Yep she just laughed and said I guess yours looks the same..I told her probably but I had never seen mine from that point of view..Then they start raising her up. At that moment she screams, no not from the pain but from the fact I am standing on her urine container. I couldn't help but laugh hysterically. No one else did though? Anyway everyone knows what happened next and after only 3 pushes baby Kael came into this world. All 6lb 11oz of him. We finally got home Sunday afternoon and after only 16 hours of sleep in 4 days I couldn't hardly move, but I can always say it was an experience!

Kael Evan Morrison
6lbs 11oz 19in long

Here are a few picks of our ride home, well the last 30 minutes...haha

He is such a faker, when I turned around he was crying.

I said smile and this is what he did!

A Few Months Rolled Into One

Well I know we are a little behind, but what can I say Tucker is RUNNING now!
Tucker had a great Christmas, got everything he wanted and more!
His favorite new toys include a push spin toy, a little mouse thing that i believe is called a "ZuZu pet" and a toy that blows balls into the air that plays the GREATEST music in the world! not

As I stated above yes Tucker is running. His first steps alone happened at about 8 months so now at 10.5 he is running like a mad man. I swear that he doesn't know what slow is!

I will list a few fun facts about him now too just to catch everyone up!

• He is 32.5" tall and 25 lbs


• He favorite word is yea


• Favorite veggie is Carrots


• Favorite drink is Tot's Fruit Punch


• Has officially limited his bottle to Bed Time and a small one when he wakes up.


• LOVES bath time


• Now has 8 teeth and 2 on the way


• After he finishes his dinner he will yell/talk uncontrollably just because he wants everyone to know he can.

Tucker has also been sleeping in his own room since the first of January. He is doing great so far with this and seems to be loveing his new found independence.

Well I think we are all up to date at the moment. Next week we will all be traveling to Lawton Oklahoma to check out Tucker's new baby cousin, ****, his mother has been keeping the name a secret so note the *. We are excited to meet him and we will definiate have an update after the trip!

Tucker with his loud singing ball popping toy! lol

Payton McKenzie

Some people know this and others don't...

Tucker had a half sister that would have turned 12 today...Patrick and his ex wife Valorie lost their beautiful baby girl the day she was to come into this world; God must have had another plan for her then a life here on earth...Payton McKenzie know that your daddy thinks about you all the time and love's you so much...Rest in Peace

Tucker in November

Tucker has had a busy month!

He started out getting to see his great grandaddy and great granny Imogene for Thanksgiving.. ..Yes he loved them to piece!

He cut another tooth..so this makes 5, and yes we are a little lop sided! lol. This is his mean face!

His favorite foods are steamed brocolli, mashed potatoes, and his very favorite is Pumpkin Pie! Below he is drinking breakfast, relaxing and watching some TV!

Tucker also learned how to stand on his own and he has even taken a few steps between the coffee table and the couch. He loves to play hide and seek and lulu (dad is in the closet)

Tuck Tuck got his first little red wagon from his Nana for an early Chrismas present. He and Lulu love riding around the house!

We had family pictures made here are a few for you to enjoy!

Halloween makes him 7

Well Halloween was a huge success if you want to count Tucker looking so stinking cute he couldn't stand himself. If you don't it would have been a huge bust. Since Halloween was on a Sunday we didn't get to go trick or treating, and even though I bought 4 bags of candy the trick or treating happened on Saturday while we were in Oklahoma so no kids showed up to the house. This meant the candy had to be disposed of and Patrick and I were glad to help. (note that 2 bags were taken to work and shared with co-workers).

6 Months and A Check Up

I'm about a month late but O' Well....Tucker got his 6 month shots a few weeks ago and we have found out that he could be a tall man.
Tucker weighed 18 pounds which is average but he is 29 inches tall which is in the 97 percentile. Patrick is currently looking for his father. ha ha


Patrick has also decided that Tucker needs to get in touch with his Native American heritage and so he wants to officially change his name from Tucker James Williams to "Tucker White-Butt-Feather Williams" ...This man makes my life way more then interesting...


We also attended one of my greatest friend's wedding last weekend. (Congrats Charlotte and Timothy!) Tucker was a doll and the photographer even got a shot of him with sister. We had fun and it was good to see all my friends. I didn't realize how much I missed everyone.

Half a Year Down!

Tucker turned Six Months on Thursday but not before having one rough week~

He started out Monday having to go to the doctor, who tells us that he has an ear infection, his allergies have turned into a cold and he's getting more teefers!

Then Tuesday Patrick has to go out of town for the week so this means
sick baby+ mom= alone....

Wednesday he falls off the footstool at daycare but he's got a hard head so he is fine!


Thursday the dresser jumps up and bites his eye and then he pulls a toy over on his head (this getting big is hard work for him).....

(this pic shows the eye and the head, poor guy)

When Pat came home Thursday night he swears that someone is beating his kid up...haha...but really you could barely tell that he had had such a long hard week. He also learned this week how to sit down after being pulled up to the couch (you have no idea how happy I am that he has learned this!)

He's really excited to get to see his Aunt Kortney and Cousin Davin Sunday though~!~!(I wonder what kind of trouble they could get into together?)

I don't know but he looks ready!!!

Growing too fast!

Tucker seems to want to be ahead of the game, from rolling over at 6 weeks old to Crawling at 4 months...

He seems to be on the larger size too, we are contributing this to both of our families. I at 5'6 and Patrick at 5'10 are not tall or big people, but Tucker at 4 months was 17 lbs and 27 inches long...for all of you who don't do math that means he's already over 2 feet tall..and still growing! Here is a little history thus far!

His first pro pics taken...Easter with his favorite cousins..
Alex and Baby Davin! He was 4 days old.

The first month was an adjustment phase...We learned to get sleep whenever possible.

The second month he grew into his personality and met his favorite babysitterLouise..ReRe.

At 3 months he learned to like his baths and....


I learned it was okay for him to sleep on his belly.

At 4 months Lulubell is his best friend, besides Kloe,
but that is another story for another day
Tucker also learned to crawl at 4 months!

The Story Behind It All....

I think i may want to catch everyone up on my/our life thus far....





Hi! I'm Kristi,

As a Sophomore in college (4 years ago) I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. After a year and a half of Chemo and finally a Stem Cell transplant I was told that I was cancer free..

2 weeks later I met Patrick Williams...

The love of my life..

Yes he loved me bald head and all...

six months later we were engaged! Ohh!!! and new parents of a beautiful baby Chaweenie! Lulubell Christmas Tree Williams!

and 6 months after that I became Mrs. Williams!!
May 24, 2008

Now the doctor's told me there would only be a 40% chance of ever being able to have children after having the Stem Cell transplant. So, after a year of trying we thought it may never happen, But.... on March 30,2010...

Tucker James Williams
