Here's the story... I had an appointment on Tuesday and was sure that I would be able to be admitted. This was the longest I had ever been pregnant! The doctor checked me and I was at a 4 and 80% effaced. She wouldn't admit me because the hospital changed their policy and I would have to be in active labor to be admitted if I was before 39 weeks. So my mom and I had a nice day in Flag and then we came home. So Friday I started have consistent contractions but nothing that I thought warranted going to the hospital so I just went to bed. Woke up Saturday morning and went to use the restroom and then my water broke...oh geez! When my water breaks things tend to go quickly so I was nervous. This is at 7:50am. We get things ready to go and head for the hospital at 8:20ish. My contractions start at that time and are 5 minutes apart and fairly painful but nothing compared to what I know is coming. We make it to Flag at about 9:20 and Greg has to go get the nurses with a wheelchair for me. We get up to the room and I change and Greg has to help me to the bed because walking is not an option at this point. The nurses were nice but being a little lackadaisical for my liking. I had to get poked twice to get my IV in and then I asked if my nurse would check me. She did and I was at an 8 and his head was right there and I needed to push. She quickly called the doctor in. Dr. Johansen came in (Dr. Perrin was out of town and Johansen is the doctor I had had with Rigs so I was glad he was on call) and got ready to deliver. I pushed about 4 times and Sawyer Grant Fish was born at 9:50am. He weighed in at 8lbs 8 oz and was 21.5 inched long. Definitely the biggest baby but it was my best labor and delivery! We are totally smitten with him. He loves to cuddle and is just so sweet. I can't believe that he has already been here over a week! There is nothing better than a new baby to love on. I'm sure he'll grow up too fast just like my other boys have but for now I will enjoy every moment with my newborn as well as his 3 brothers!

Time flies when you go by blog posts! It's been over a year since my last post and we are now expecting another baby. A boy. I never thought that I would be a mama to 4 boys and no girls but we are very excited. Things are moving right along. I am officially due in May 5th but I never go to term. I have already been having contractions and almost had to be put on bed rest but luckily I haven't had to do that. I don't know when I'd even have the time to be on bed rest;) The other 3 boys are all doing great. Castin loves kindergarten and his teachers are Mrs. Young and Mrs. Maxwell. He is doing very well in school and has received all 'S' marks. Tanner is in his second year of pre-school with Mrs. Holmes and is also doing great. They are both very smart and fun boys. Rigden gets to chill with me during the day and is such a funny boy. He makes the best faces and you definitely know what he is thinking at all times. He knows all of his ABC's, shapes, colors, and counts to 26 by himself. Very smart and adorable and he knows it to! That's life in a nutshell for the moment. Soon to change with the addition of this next little man...can't wait for him to be here and to not be preggers anymore!!

I have been extremely MIA from this blog. Which is too bad since we have had a ton of things happen since I had my tonsils taken out. Castin turned 5, Tanner turned 4 and Rigden had his first birthday. Not to mention Christmas and all those other holidays. I don't think Slacker even begins to describe me lately. I hope that I will do better and have more updates this year than last. It would take too many words so I will just post a plethora of pics and call it good for now!!
