The Dentist

Brooklyn had her very first dentist appointment, ever!! And boy, was she brave!!! I was SO SO SO proud of her!! She didn't whine or get scared once! She hopped right up in the chair and kept asking when the dentist was going to come!! She couldn't wait! She let the hygenist clean her teeth, and let Dr. Arnould check her teeth out without any hesitation!!


They were so impressed with her and her beautiful teeth!! She got a princess toothbrush, and she got to pick out a prize from the prize box...and guess what she got....

Can you recognize her? That is Brooklyn in the above picture if you couldn't tell!

Let's hope all future dentist appointments go this smooth!! Great Job Brooklyn!

Favorite family pics from our first week as Family of Five!

Daddy with his 3 kiddos.....

The three musketeers----looks like trouble to me!
But those are some cute kids!!!

Proud big sister!


The big kids welcoming Raegan and mommy home!

Love this pic!!

Our first week home!

Lots of pics to share to show our first week at home, our first hectic, chaotic, fun, crazy, loving week at home! Can't wait for many many many more!!
Raegan has lots of dark hair, and dark dark eyes. We can't quite tell what color they are going to be yet. She also has a dimple on her left cheek-but I haven't been able to capture it in pictures yet. But it looks like she is going to be another cutie!Grandma Iowa was able to come down for a few days also to be part of our first week home!
Proud big sister holding her little sister for the first time!

Cuddle time with daddy!


So far Raegan has enjoyed being held. But she is already doing better with sleeping in her bassinet. We are trying to get down any sort of routine as things are going to be even more crazy as Daddy starts back to work for a crazy month-leaving mom at home with all 3 kids. This should be interesting! Wish us luck!!

Our hospital stay....

Big sister and big brother got to come visit baby Raegan a few times. Brooklyn even got her own camera so that she could take her own pictures. Both of them were very excited to see the baby! Brooklyn claimed her as "my baby and nobody elses", and also re-affirmed that she wanted her name to be Sweetheart Lollipop! Brooklyn was a little offended at first that we had picked another name for her, but she has now agreed that Raegan is a good name! Jamison greeted Raegan with some love pats and also buried his head in her showing her some love!

Raegan already sporting her Little Sister Gear!

A few of our visitor's at the hospital--

Introducing Sweetheart Lollipop

It's a GIRL!!! Introducing Raegan Ann Nerio. Born July 26th, 2010 at 7:13pm. Weighing in at 8lbs. 11oz. and 20 inches long. Healthy and with lots of dark hair like daddy. She's just perfect!

We should have listened to Brooklyn all along as she told us it was going to be a girl!







The day went great! After a full day of contractions, mommy only had to push ONCE, and she was here before we knew it! How exciting as we welcome our third child! Thanking god for a healthy baby and a happy family!

The big day!

The day is here! We arrived at the hospital around 8:00 am. Daddy, Mommy, and Aunt Julie. Around 9:00 or so they started Mommy on some pitocin to try and get some contractions going.

It turned out to be a longer day than anticipated. Mommy toughed out the contractions until about 3:00 when she got an epidural. Although we had hoped that the baby would be here by then, it made for a fun day in the hospital!


Luckily ?? Mommy had Daddy and Julie there to help entertain her.... and boy were they a lot of help :) Good thing mommy did all the work!
Later that evening things finally started really progressing.....and it looked like baby would be here soon! Stay tuned.....

And the last meal as a family of four!



We can't wait until tomorrow to meet baby!!!

Nerio's family of four-one last update

Well, we are about to welcome baby Nerio into this world. Since he or she likes it in Momma's belly so much, it looks like we are going to have to induce. So tomorrow Monday July 26th we are scheduled to be induced at 8:00am. We are still hoping he or she decides to come on their own in the next 24 hours. Anyway--thought we would give you one last update before things get even more crazy here!

Brooklyn- well she is 3! And I mean 3 in the way that she has great days where she is a big big girl, and days that don't go so great. She can throw a temper tantrum like the best of them! We know she has lots of exciting things going on right now, and is anxious for baby to get her! We are hoping that is adding to her craziness right now! Time will tell!

Jamison-he is the same old smiley guy! He is standing a lot more, and walks with assistance. Just not brave enough to venture out on his own yet. He has some great knee walking going on though!!! He still gets everywhere, FAST!!! I think he will easily get out of trouble with that little grin he gives us though! I see a big big trouble maker.

Brooklyn and Jamison are playing together much more these days. Jamison is finally getting big enough they enjoy some of the same things! But we still have our sister and brotherly fights!

Aunt Julie has been here the past week. In reality we had planned on having the baby by now, and that she would have been here for that. But of course in stead, the baby decided to be stubborn and just give her a weeks vacation. But she has gotten a lot of quality time with Brooklyn and Jamison! They are going to miss her big time, so will mommy and daddy, as she has been a huge help!

Well, stay tuned for updates, news, and pictures as we welcome our next little one! We are all very anxious and excited! We will try to get pictures posted as soon as possible!

Here is to a happy, healthy, and quick delivery! The next time we report, it will be from the Nerio's Family of FIVE!!! We can't wait!
