All That She Wants

This is a little bit of a riddle, but you have to listen to the song(chorus) to get it. Lets just say Emily gets what she wants.....

Gus' Birth Day

The start of a long but most rewarding day

He came out sucking his thumb:)

It all started on Thursday November 11th at 5:40 am. I got a call from the labor and delivery unit (Kim Postma) saying it was time to have a baby. So we rushed to get ready and be there by 6:30 am. I got there got hooked up and that is when the fun began. They started the pitocin around 7:20 am and didn't stop the drip until 5:51 am the next day. Yep, thats 24 hours of contractions, 24 hours of labor, 24 hours of sitting at the hospital, and 24 hours of anticipation. We tried to get some rest that night, Kyle slept on the yucky hospital floor for awhile. I was going to try to go without the epidural, but had an open mind knowing labor is much harder when you are induced. It was around 12:30 or 1 in the afternoon that I decided the epidural was a much needed drug. I went to the hospital dilated to a two, and at the time I decided to get the epidural five or six hours later I was only a three. I knew I was in for a long labor and was starting to get nauseous because of the pain, so I said bring on the drugs. Little did I know that at 8:00 pm that night I would only be dilated to a four. My Dr. said that failure to progress or being stuck at a four for more than 2 hours would mean I would have to go cesarean. I really really didn't want that to happen. The next time the nursed checked me I think I was a five and things just started to get better after that. My poor mom came to the hospital around 11:30 am and stayed the whole time. My sisters came around 8:00 or 9:00 pm stayed for a while then we told them we would call when I got close. So around 1 or 2 am we called telling them I was finally at an 8 so to come on over. Little did they know it was going to take me four more hours to dilate two more centimeters!! I was reluctant to have the sis' come, but was glad after the whole ordeal it was nice having them there. At 5 am I started pushing and fifty one minutes later I delivered the cutest, most healthy baby boy ever!!

The hubby thought today would be a good day to post about the onesies I made for the babe. Kyle loves them! Also, we bought this funky cool antique chair at urban renewal last week for the babe's room. Now if he would just get here so I can stop trying to keep myself busy.

No Bueno

40 Week Stats
Total weight gained 26 pounds
Measuring at 37
Baby's heart rate 122
Dilated to a ONE. Someone just told us the little guy was obedient by waiting till November, but a one come on.
Plan of Action: HOPEfully will go into spontaneous labor this week. Non-stress test Monday. Another Dr.'s appointment Wednesday. Then will induce on 11/11/10. Lets just all pray our little hearts out it happens before then k.
Went on a nice long walk last night, I am going to wash all the outside windows today since I have already cleaned the whole entire house. I am thinking about putting up the Christmas lights too.

39 1/2 I think we have made it

39 1/2 Weeks Stats

I have almost made it. I can go anytime on Monday because it is the first of November, and you all know the story of how we are not such great planners with the supplemental insurance thing. Bring on Kip and Ali's wedding in Hawaii in February:)!!! The pregnancy has been really good other than the first 12 weeks of throwing up, and the occasional heart burn at night. It is crazy weird to think we will be parents in a week or two, hopefully a week. I told Kyle before church if he doesn't come this week we should just wait till next week and have him on 11/11/11, then during sacrament I realized that is in another year, so he can't wait that long.

Total Weight Gained: 25 pounds, it was 26 but I lost a pound last week. whoo whoo

Measuring at 36 weeks

Baby's heart rate 135 bpm
Haven't craved anything unusual just lots of crushed ice. Bags are packed, car seat is in place now we just play the waiting game.
Baby still moves a ton especially at night now, he gets the hiccups at least once or twice a day.

Plan of action: I have a Dr.'s appointment again on Wednesday (my due date is Tuesday) they will check me, send me to do a non-stress test, and if everything is still okay they will wait a week to start me.

My last two days of work were Thursday and Friday. It was very convenient because it happened to be two days 18 hours total of training on Breastfeeding. Needless to say I learned a lot which will help with my job and me personally. The trainer was a well known lactation consultant from Mississippi who had tons of info and stories for us!!

who are you?

Below Kody and Skeley. I got a pic of Kody and his wives off the internet so you could see the creepster for real. Around Kody's neck he has a pic of his now 4 wives and a name tag that say Hi my name is Kody Brown meet my 4 wives. He is super creepy, I would have gone as one of the wives, but had already put tons of time into making my shirt so I still went as preggers skeley.

Isn't she the cutest piggy bank ever?

Kyle and I attended a Halloween party last night in Cedar City with Donald Trump, his cute little piggy bank and his lady of money. There were tons of hommies we didn't know, but their costumes were super creative and I got a lot of good ideas for next year. Kyle went as Kody Brown (you know the creepy guy from sister wives) and I went as a pregnant skeleton.

Baby Shower

PICTURE OVERLOAD!!

We had a really fun party on Saturday. Lots of food was eaten, lots of pictures were taken, lots of laughs were exchanged, and lots of gifts were given. Thank you to everyone that came, and thanks to my sistas and mammy for putting it on. Thanks lirpa for being the photographer and Slum dog for making the invite, water bottle wrapper, andcupcake topper thank yous! Oh and my wonderful hubby for finishing the slate wall in time for the shower:)

Baby Shower

35 weeks minus 26.2

T Minus 4 weeks and 3 days
measuring at exactly 35 weeks- I was a little worried last dr appt. I was measuring a week behind but have no fear I am back to where I should be.
23 pounds total weight gained thus far-oh man oh man
still loving crushed ice
missed my first st. george marathon in 5 years I was a little depressed about it, but will be back in a few short months to running. I can't wait. I remember training and wishing I had an excuse not to run, but now I feel the complete opposite. I tried running with Kyle a month ago, I did a mile or a little more, but it hurt my belly so no more of that. I have started walking a couple miles in the am with my sister and ang.
blood pressure has been great usually around 105/60 give or take a few
My belly button has started to poke out. I was telling Kyle the other night that it is a good thing my button was a deep dark hole before because otherwise I would have a definite weird looking outie by now.
Changed the hairdo, I was boycotting the whole idea because my fat boy Tanny Poo left to serve the lord, but I gave in and Tenille is just as amazing as the fat boy. The last time it was cut was January so needless to say it needed some help.
Nursery is almost complete. Waiting for the crib to be shipped here and put together.

Boating

The Wilson boaters came home for a whole entire week! Their boat got fixed so we seized the moment to take it to Sand Hollow. Never mind that is was 44 degrees going out there and only 70 degrees when we left! The water felt amazing!
Retardo as Kyle calls her
