my birth story

I was awaken about 6am august 15th. It started with sharp pains I just new were not the normal braxton Hicks contractions. The hubby got up and went to work. I just layed there trying to go back to sleep but couldn't so I eventually called hubby to come back home so we could head to the hospital. We arrived at to hospital the nurse checked me and said I was still dilated the same as in the doc's office. She then asked if I would allow a cath. I refused so she just had me pee in a cup. She thought my pain was a urinary tract infection. It of course wasn't. She then made me walk for a while. My back was killing me so we went back to my room. A little while later I threw up. She then came in and said well maybe it's that flu that is going around. Hubby at this point was like "yeah that's it".
We were then told to wait till the doc came in to check me and see what he said. He came in later and right before he checked me the nurse said "you don't want to deliver today we are too busy" the doc asked a few questions and then checked me. He looked up at the nurse and said "she's in labor" I was four.
As soon as they got a empty room they moved me and I waited for my labor to progress. Later out me on an IV of pit to speed up my labor. The doc came in later to break my water. Hubby then asked if it was too late to get pain meds since I didn't have a epideral. They give me some morphine to help take the edge off. By the way I don't think helps much. Well I went really fast from there and was ready to push in no time. They kept telling me to wait but it was not easy. I finally told them she was coming and the doc came in and she was right there ready to come out. I pushed and she was óut in one push. Doc tried to stop me after her head was out but there was no stopping.
She didn't cry when she was born and I knew something was wrong. Everyone was telling me she was ok but I knew better. They were doing CPR on her and smacking her face is what hubby later told me. They got her breathing but she was on oxygen. They rushed her off to the nicu. I later was told she got some of the morphine that I Had because I went so fast. She did finally start breathing better on her own after that but later jaundice was the problem so she had to stay over at the nicu till her levels where better. We did finally get her home on Sunday.
She has been doing well and is a very good baby. She is used to the noise so is able to sleep well. Well that's what it or at least all I can think of.

Trinity

Ok she's finally here! I had her Aug 15th at 11:15pm. She was 8lb14oz and 20 1\2 inches long.
She still isn't home yet but hopefully soon. I'll will write more about why and the whole birth story later.
I know it's been a while since I have wrote on here. We have been so busy. We got a new puppy today. The kids are so excited they named her Dixie. The other dogs took to her well so that was good.
The kids have got to spend a lot more time with daddy than the are used to lately since he took this last week off work while I have been driving back and forth to see the baby! I don't know what Aurora is gonna do when daddy goes back to work. They have played none stop!
We now are looking for a new van since our's blew a head gasket. Hubby thought about fixing it but is kinda wanting to take the easy way and buy a new one. So we will see what happens.
The boys are back in school and they love it! Weird kids huh?
Well next time I'll try and tell about how things went with the birth and after!

Ok well I went to the doc on Tuesday. I am dialated and he said the baby is at 8lbs. Hopefully soon baby will be here. I got most everything ready that I think I may need. Havn't got any diapers since our last baby started off in size 1's. We have been slowly getting ready for the kids to go back to school. I,m ready for the break too.
We did get most of that tree cleaned up from our backyard. So things are falling together for now.

catchin ya up!

Well latly time has flown by. Soon the baby will be here and the house will be rockin with 5kids 3 and soon to be 4 dogs. People are gonna think it's a zoo. The boys are ready for school to be back in. For right now they love school. Felecity was hoping to go but was out on a waiting list. I shouldn't have much to worry about though since she is so smart. Aurora is as mean as ever and walking but not a pro yet. She has got more teeth and eats a ton.
we now have half a tree to cut up in our backyard and the other half will be coming down soon before it falls on the house. We got Lucky that the tree fell the other way then the house when we had a bad storm Monday night. Other people were not as lucky as they had more damage.
I did manage to get my hair colored again did it with hubby's help of course. What more can I ask for? He treats me well. Well that's all I can think of for now!

times fly's when your having fun!

Not that I have really had too much fun ,but not too bad. Things have been good for the most part. The fourth was great! We went to hubby's boss's house like we have for several years now. Lots of fun like always and the kids always love going and eating a ton.
Felecity had her dance at the park but didn't do anything but tap her foot the whole time. She did dance at her recital a week later. I was so proud! She looked so grown up! It brought back so many memories of when I danced when I was younger.
We are still sort of looking for a bigger house. I'm pretty sure the one we tried to get and was hoping was still forsale later is now sold! So that kinda of sucks! I guess there is prolly a reason for it. But it still makes me sad. There should be other houses too with the market the way it is I'm sure we will find something.
The baby's arrivall is getting closer. Yeah I'm not prepared at all. Still no baby bed. Havn't even got the newborn clothes back out yet. Have no newborn diapers yet. No backs packed but I'm sure the hubby can get that if need be. He should be a pro at what I need for my stay by now! I think the baby maybe here a little sooner than expected too. I could be wrong but I feel like it's close. I just hope she comes when she's good and ready and not too early. We want her to be healthy.
I'll try to post àgain soon so these don't get to long and boring. Ü have just been so busy.

thiefs!

Lately we have had a lot of things coming up missing in our neighborhood not to mention the stupid people that stole our dog a while back! Today the kids went outside to go ride bikes with the neighbor boy and Chandler comes in to tell me he can't find his bike. I figured he needed to look a little Better. So I waited a while to see if he could find it and sure enough it was stolen. Well we went for a walk to the park and the kids played for a while then we walked over and got the kids some food at the fish fry they were having. We then went home and a little while later I was outside and thought I heard our little dog that thinks she owns the neighborhood yelp like someone hit her or something. So I looked around and didn't see her so sent Chandler to look behind the house. Well she happened to be inside but needless to say Chandler came running back telling me he seen his bike! Well I looked and sure enough it was his. Then the boy rode it right in front of our house! I confronted him and told him let's go talk to his parents and then we chased him (we'll sort of just walked but caught up to him) well needless to say his dad said he bought it from some guy for $20. Ok I think not but I got it back with little Said! It just happened to be at the gedo behind our house! Well that's what we call it but they are really dirty appart and they are up all night fighting. Thank god we got a privacy fence that we don't have to see that everyday.
The other things stolen in the neighborhood recently is car sterio's on each side of us. Nothing stolen out of our çars but who knows I might not really be missing it if they did. We have had people fighting and riding bikes through our yard in the middle of the night it's just getting to be worse and worse everyday! In the two years we have been here we have never had this much go on around us.
The kids are doing good getting in lots of trouble! Felecity performs at the park on Thursday for our 4th of July celebration that they do every year. She is excited about that. PRESTON'S birthday is on Friday so he will be turning 6yrs old! Wow! Time sure flys!
We did get the fence up and the dogs love haveing the room as do I. Since they get all the rough play done outside now and don't destroy my house now,but the kids have been making up for that! Well enough said until next time!
