Six years ago today...

I was sitting in our stake's first Stake Conference this morning and I got to thinking. So much changes in life. Our ward turned one year old in Janurary and our stake turned one year today. I realized that there was more that seemed significant to me about this day. Six years ago to this date I was sitting in church having mild contractions. It wasn't anything major but slightly uncomfortable. Monday the 20th was President's day (as is tomorrow)so my doctor's office was closed. I had small contractions that started again in the evening and in the middle of the night they became more irritating. Not painful, just noticeable tightening and kept me from sleeping. I remember sitting on the couch in the family room at 3 a.m. reading my pregnancy and labor books. I was induced with Lindsey so I was a little nervous about knowing when to go into the hospital with baby number two. Also I wasn't due until March so I wasn't expecting to be ready to go into labor. Tuesday morning Jaime went off to work and as soon as the doctor's office opened I called and said that I was having contractions through the night and they were around 7-10 minutes apart. She said it sounded like I was in labor and I could go to the hospital. I didn't want to go there and then be told that it was false labor so the nurse said I could come in and have the doctor check me. Jaime left work and we went to the doctors. He said to skip home and go to the hospital.

Well that's what I was thinking about today. It's hard to believe that was six years ago. In two more days I'll be remembering the day my Olivia was born.

This was for My record keeping. :)

For Unto Us A Child Is Born

On Wednesday December 16th I went to the hospital at 7 a.m. to start my induction. I was already dialated to a 3 and dr. said if I wanted to have the baby I could. I didn't want to be in the hospital or recovering too close to Christmas with my entire family home for the season so I said sure! I was finally underway at 8 a.m. with pitocin. The rest of the morning and afternoon was spent in boredom and watching tv with Jaime at my side. At around 12:45 the dr. came to break my water because that usually gets things going quick. My kids have all arrived shortly after the water breaks. However, since the baby's head kind of floated up he decided to wait a bit to not risk the umbilical cord coming out first or wringing around the baby's neck. Bummer! I was so disappointed. So, on to more waiting, turning up the pitocin...again. Finally at 3:30 p.m. I was having some strong contractions and dialated 5-6. My mother-in-law came to visit at 4 and Jaime told her that it would probab

SURPISE!!!!

Image
Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
