The Glazner Family

August 8th, 2010

Alright, so I'm having a hard time with my blogging, cleaning, laundry, kids...everything! I am feeling the pressure of losing the weight, having the house perfect, playing with the kids, having meals ready, going to church, School starting in 2 weeks.. ect. So much pressure to already have everything in control and I don't like it...I can cry at ANY minute of the day.

I don't know how other people DO IT but I feel like I'm not doing it, and I know it takes time, but I feel like the time has run out, and I don't have that excuse of "I just had a baby". Jed's work is over whelming, that he can't help out as much, even though he does help out more than other husbands that actually go to work because he works from home. I have to pump 2-3 times a night, plus then bottle fed Kate. Then the kids wake up so early (8-9) I know...thats late, but its so early to us because we've been up all night, that we just throw cereal at them and let them watch TV or play the Wii. ugh.....And the sleep deprivation  ...I can seriously sleep at ANY minute of the day. I

I know this will pass, but today I am feeling a lot of pressure, and since this is MY blog,I will WHINE.....But on a GOOD note, I love holding little Kate in my arms. She SO tiny!! and she's getting so chunky! I love it!! She's growing good. The kids LOVE her to death, and she is the favorite right now! Everyone loves Kate. LOL.

Also I am SO in love with my husband, even though he works so much, he is killing himself by helping me with the baby, and kids, and then up all night working to get through deadlines. He shows me all the time that he loves me. I don't know how I got so lucky to get him. =)

We have nursed for a full 24 hour period! She nursed ALL day!! ALL DAY...nursed without fussing, without crying, just took it like a champ!! My sweet girl!! This has made me soo incredibly happy!

August 10th, 2010

I have an obsessions with "Sisters". I have this eluded fantasy of how incrediably amazing it would be to have a sister. To have a instant best friend, to have someone to talk to, to have someone to grow up with, to have another women to understand you, have memories with, love you, love her back, appreciate you, taking care of your little sis, Ect. Someone that you know, NO matter what happenes, it won't matter because in the end, she's your sister.
                                                         (She is totally smiling in her sleep! LOL!)

I don't know...I've always wanted a sister, ALWAYS! I've always tried to find that person, and I had to face facts that I don't have one. But Heavenly Father gave me something better. A daughter...a sweet perfect incrediably adorable daughter!! Her sweet name is Jocelyn....How I love this girl, you'll never know. She's my everything, I adore her to the core. She's my sweet girl...so giving, so loving, cares about others, so ..my Jocelyn. But then Heavenly Father gave me 2 wonderful gift...he gave me a son and another daughter....so now not only do I have 2 beautiful girls in my life, but I get to give them the wonderful gift of having a sister!!! I told Jed that I would not stop having babies until my sweet girl had a sister!!

You NEED a sister I told him, something that I never had I wanted so desperately for Jocelyn. She is OF course in love with her sister, and I'm just loving the fact that I have these great girls in my life. These amazing people that I get to call my daughters. I am so incredibly lucky right now. Not only do I have these wonderful sweet girls, but I have such an incredible little boy (my other amazing gift, now needs a brother, we'll see) that loves his sisters to DEATH! =) (Bridger loves to hug Kate sometimes a LITTLE to tightly, but she doesn't mind most of the time. hehe)


...to my sweet babies.  Jocelyn, Bridger and Katelyn. May you ALWAYS remember that you are BEST FRIENDS, that you respect, and admire each other, that you remember each other in your prayers, and that you never lose sight of whats important. May you always be a blessing in each others lives that bring happiness and hope. I love you guys so much...Thank you for being MY babies!!



Love, Mommy!

So its been 15 days! Its been so hard, but so rewarding as well. She is so small, little, fragile, I love her so much. She has one of the most perfect newborn faces I have seen! She reminds me a lot of Jocelyn when she was born with a little bit of Bridger, and then Jed and I in between. =)

We are still struggling with the nursing, today we have a dr. appointment and I will ask him about her latching. She is having problems with the bottle as well, so I wonder if it has something to do with her tounge. Bridger had to get the underneath part snipped so that he would be able to suck better.

Other than that she is such a good baby! She doesn't have any colics, wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat, and shes a really content baby. She LOVES taking baths, she loves them !! She was falling asleep yesterday in her little bath. Bridger and Jocelyn love to watch her take baths and think its so funny that a newborn is taking a "Bubble Bath".

Bridger and Jocelyn have been amazing! They love her so much and are so protective of her. They have been so helpful and just simply amazing the last 2 weeks.

Can't believe we are a family of 5 now!! We are loving it...

DAY 8

Ok  last night Kate was naughty, I'm trying so hard to write and keep on my blog to remember this beautiful girl. But I'm sooooo sleep deprived that ALL I want her to do is sleep and I want to sleep and ahhh...thats not fair! They are only little for such a SHORT time that I want to take it all in!!!

But one thing she is doing that I LOVE is that she is a smily baby!! ALL she does is smile smile smile!! She's been a good baby in when she is full she is content , goes to sleep, and has a clean diaper. BUT our Mt. Everest has been NURSING!

She latches on, sucks and then starts crying....then latches on sucks and then again starts crying. I don't know why

Also my milk coming in has been so painful. I can't sleep on my side, my chest is so painful, engorge and it hurts to nurse. I think I know what a breast augmentation feels like, ugh, I'm in so much pain. WHY oh WHY don't we remember these things. LOL. ?!?!? This is why I'm journaling it down, incase I get the crazy thought of getting pregnant again.

My hip, pelvic bone, and all of the bones by my hips are still so sore. I can get up now a TON better and walking is now not such a chore.

But all of my complaining, and the one thing I do know that it was all worth it, is my beautiful Kate. She is so beautiful and I LOVE her tiny cheeks, nose, eyes, everthing about her. She loves to be with me, she knows me.....she knows my voice....my sweet girl.

Ok, so in football terms there is a week called "Hells Week" where the Freshmen players  are put to the test, they are made to do these extreme things in order to get into the team. So initiation start! I asked my boyfriend a football player at the time, does that make you angry? He said no, because when he became a senior he would be able to do it to all the freshmen. =)

 I think that is what the first 10 days of a newborns life is...Initiation week. Hell Week. Our parents way of getting back at us, telling us they want grandkids...AH!! They are now the seniors and we are the freshmen, welcome to the week of dome. Getting up at odd hours of the night, eating, changing, burping, swaying, jumping, cooing, nursing, warming, bathing, cleaning, pumping, and doing it all on a few hours of sleep.

BUT I think I made the team!!  She is now 12 days old, alive and healthy, and it seems like there is light at the end of the tunnel. We are pumping and bottle feeding her at night, and then trying to nurse during the day, its still a struggle but today she latched on after just at BIT of struggling. We are learning!!!

But on the 12th day ...I now have a COLD. YES arrrrrrhhhhh I have a stuffy nose, sore throat, body ache and a headache. ugh. I am trying not to breath on little Kate, but its so hard. We might just bottle feed these next few days and then go back to try nursing. I just don't want a sick baby!! Now that will be a sad day.

Yesterday we went for a walk around the block, and it was kind of nice to get out of the house, but I am for sure not ready to hit reality. I can't even think about going somewhere with all three kids, nursing in public..YEAH RIGHT?!?! and controlling Bridger and Jocelyn. I know this will pass, but it hasn't passed YET.

But just to leave on a good note, man I love that little thing....she is the most sweetest Baby!!! Her adorable chubby face just smiles ALL the time. The kids adore her, and she already has Jed wrapped around her finger, ...and ME TOO. We are so incredibly lucky to have her in our family.

Utnil next time

So last night my sweet girl woke up at 3:00am. I nursed her thinking she would go back to sleep. She didn't. she was wide awake...her beautiful big eyes looking around, lookign at me and smiling...she is a smiler!!

So I woke up with her and talked to my sweet girl. We had a great time talking and gooing at each other, until she wanted to nurse. We are having a really hard time nursing, and this is killing me. With my other babies, I could nurse in bed and stay half way asleep while they nursed. But we have to get UP and struggle a bit with the whole nursing thing. But 4:30am I was tired, this little event lasted until 6:30 when she finally latched on, had a diaper change 3 times, and latched on again.

For some reason I don't remember these first few days!! I think I blocked it out with my other 2!! ....ahh...Sorry so short, just wanted to remember what it was like after a newborn is BORN!!! ahhhhhhh

Cat

OK! So I haven't slept for days, and I woke up today at 3:00am with Kate, and then at 6:00am and then I had to wake up at nine with my OTHER kids.

But I woke up with ENERGY! I got up, cleaned the kitchen did some laundry, nursed Kate, changed her, got the kids in clothes, got lunch ready, eaten, cleaned up....It was good. THEN I sat down and I felt the drain. I then took a little nap while the kids watched some TV.

I am trying really hard to update everyday, but its not working out very well. Just an update so that I remember what I am going through, I am sooo engorged, I think this is now women with breast implants feel after surgery. So painful, nursing isn't going very well. She latches on, then latches off. She takes a bottle very well though, we are TRYING very hard to give her a Binki but she isn't really liking that either.

My ligament pain is still there, BUT its way better than it was before. Mostly the left hip , pelvic area is still sore. The first few days I still couldn't sleep on my side without a million pillows because my hips were so incredibly bad.

Our poor baby has Jaundice. Its something you hear about babies having but when they get to high it can actually hurt their liver among other things. They turn a slight yellow, and their little whites of their eyes turn a yellowish tint too.

We had to experience Jaundice with our sweet Jocelyn, and that was an awful experience. She cried and cried in the "Suitcase" mostly because at that time they had to wear a ski mask looking thing to protect their eyes. Now they have that shield that will cover their face.

While they are in the "Suite Case" they have to be completely naked for the lights to work on their skin. Its hard because there isn't any heater installed so its cold. But this one does produce a LITTLE tiny bit of heat, and then we put a blanket over it to make it nice and toasty.
Her sweet little face looks so tiny in this big ole suitcase. But she's taking it so well!! I feed her and got her naked, and she hasn't fussed not one bit!! She is being so brave!!
Her heels are so bruised and bloody from being pricked so much. There is no room on her little feet to draw blood from. Its so sad to see her tiny feet so abused at only 4 days old. It breaks my heart, I just cry. Thats all I can do. But hopefully this will be the end of the stupid heel pricks and in 3 days we won't need to worry about jaundice.
She's so strong, I am so lucky to have this little girl in our family!! She has brought so much in these last 4 days I can't imagine life without her now. My tiny baby.....Sleeping away. I'm so lucky that she is sleeping through the suitcase and she can have both lights on her.

Until next time!

I'm in SO much pain!!!!! Katelyn won't nurse, and all I can think about is the pain!! The cramping, the sorness and the ache. I asked the nurse for more meds, and a Higher dosage!! I don't want to feel any pain.

I still have some placenta inside and they gave me meds to help me fight infection and get it out. I'm bleeding a ton, and they keep pushing on my stomach every 30 minutes. I'm sooooo tired.

They finally gave me a shot in the tush of Demerol and Phenergan and a higher dosage of loratab (7.5) and IB Profen. Finally after 20 minutes I can finally relax, no more intense pain.

I can't get up by myself without Jed's help, my ligament pain is still there and WORSE, my left hip pelivic area is so bad that I can't walk on it. Jed is helping me to and from the bathroom to my bed. I am so tired of being so dependent on him for walking and moving around. He slept on the sofa bed in my room tonight, and I'm so grateful. I can't walk without him...or get on the bed either. I am so tired and still in so much pain.

Jed has been so incredibly amazing through all of this...I love him so much, if not even more now! If I had a low, it has now turned into a NEW low with this baby.....but he has been nothing but loving and supporting through it all. I'm so so LUCKY!

Oh no the baby is starting to wake up....Katelyn is having such a hard time nursing, and it hurts so bad, CREAM CREAM CREAM....OK..I've whined enough.....she went back to sleep.

Day two: 

I feel better today, and can get up a little more pain free. Jed still has to help me a TON, but I am feeling better. They gave me a shot of Demoral with Fenigrin for the pain , along with an up dose of Norco (IB Profen)?? 7.5 gm. YAY!! I am not feeling pain anymore, and can finally sleep better.

So I don't know how to say this without being totally gross, but EARLY this morning finally a big part of the placenta came out, and the nurse told me that is why I was in so much pain. Cause it was trying so hard to come out last night, talk about painful. THEN I took a shower and another big part of placenta came out again. The nurse said I probably had a lot of the placenta still inside and no wonder I was in so much pain. After that they were keeping a close watch on my bleeding and I had to tell them if I passed anymore of those huge placenta stuff. I didn't have anymore and after they passed my bleeding went down a TON and the pain went down with it as well. Finally ...ugh.

The pain was my biggest complaint, I still can't walk very well, it hurts so bad, but I got in and out of bed today with minimal help from Jed. I dont' know where this baby was, but she totally did something to my hips. I can't wait until I can walk by myself again.

BUT ON A GREAT NOTE...They have an all you can eat Room service menu....its HEAVEN! I am loving their Pot Roast and Mash potatoes. YUM!!!!! Carrot cake, and all the chocolate milk I can have. =)

Gonna go sleep.......No Pain, Baby Sleeping....Jed Snoring......

Cat


I haven't slept all night, and its 3:30am....gonna see if I can fall asleep.

CAT

I woke up at 4:30 JUST waiting......until 6:00. It was nice to go to the hospital and know that they wouldn't send me back and that we were having our baby today!!


This is the before pictures! So that I can see how big I actually was and how kind everyone that told me I was so small was.


haha....I was huge! Baby Kate was ready to COME OUT!!

                                              This is right before I got into my fancy Hospital Gown.
Then we get the IV in, and they started me on Pitocin. The contractions started up very quickly and I started feeling them fast! I waited until around 11:00 to get my epidural in, before they up'ed my dose of pitocin and the contractions really started hurting!!

My Grandma came at 8:00am to come help me deliver Baby Kate!! (She is actually named after my grandma, Katelyn Ana Marie Glazner) I love my grandma she's been there at EVERY single birth of mine. I love it!!

So I was at a 2+ and I was so scared of the epidural because they missed 3 times with Bridger and I was so nervous that they were going to miss this time as well. So I waited fora bit before I got it done. The Epidcural guy was named RICK and he was awesome, gave me 2 numbing shots to make sure I didn't feel the epidural needle and I was set.

But I didn't feel my legs go completley numb like I did with Bridger. I didn't feel the contractions anymore and thought it would kick in later. THEN the dr came in to break my water at two, when he did that, I totally felt him break my water and the water gushing out. I said..."If I feel that, won't I feel the birth?" They told me they wanted me to feel the "Pressure" of the baby. But I wouldn't feel any pain.  I was like...Ok. One thing I did feel was I got ITCHY!! Which is a common side effect of the epidural. Which never has happened with my other two.
 Ok...so before I go further, another thing about this pregnancy was that I got so swollen!! My feet were so swollen the last 3 months of this pregnancy, I couldn't even wear my wedding ring! UGH...so after they put in my epidural, my feet swelled up like they never did before. Jed HAD to take pictures of them. So here they are...uhhhhhhh



After he broke my water  I started to dilate a LOT faster, at 2:00pm I was still only about a 3. VERY slow at dilating. But then around 5:00 I started to feel Pressure, with like an ache to it. I told the nurse I wanted more drugs because I didn't want to feel that. It started to really hurt, and my legs were less numb then before. That got me more worried. So the anesthesiologist came in and gave me more drugs but again told me that I would still feel pressure, this was to take the edge off. I was like..ok..but I shouldn't feel the birth. She said.." its supposed to feel like you have to go to the bathroom, but you won't have any pain with it". Again I was like, ok. I never felt that before so....

So around 6:00 they came in and checked me again, told me I was at a 7!! I was going FULL SPEED, and the Dr said before 7:00pm I would probably deliver her. I was so excited, time to call in my reinforcements. Also for this birth I decided I wanted a professional to come and take pictures of it. Not national geographic or anything, but some very tasteful pictures of the whole birth. So I called my photographer along with my aunt, and Mom.




I was excited, but I was getting way more anxious because the "Pressure" was totally there and it was NOT comfortable. The pain went away but the feeling of having to go to the bathroom and NOT be able to was miserable. Every 2 minutes I would get the urge to have to go to the bathroom and at the same time TRY and hold it. Because I didn't know if I had to or not!! She assured me that it was the baby and that I didn't have to really go. It was awful, and then I started feeling pain with the pressure, at a quarter to 7:00 they told me I was at a 10 and ready to push. I was so nervous, and feeling the pain with the pressure!


At 6:50 I started to push, and just like they said I started pushing, and then I felt this HUGE pain of fire and pulling and stretching like I've never felt before!! I started screaming it hurt so bad!! After six pushes she was OUT!! Sure enough the nurse was right I didn't go to the bathroom, which is such a relief!! I was so worried about that!!

After she came out, they put her on my tummy and she was SO beautiful!! She was so chubby!!! I thought for sure she was going to be this 8 pound baby, but she was this TINY seven pounds EVEN baby!! 19 inches long. Awww...she sure felt a LOT bigger than that. lol.

I had ONE tiny stitch and the I was telling the dr that I totally felt that, and it was burning! He said, " oh wow..you felt that? I think the epidural might of worn off, you just had your touch of natural birth ". UGHHHH I'm so sorry but I do not know WHY someone would want to go Natural!! That was awful!!! But at least I didn't feel the contractions the whole time, only the last 2 hours were bad.

While she got evaluated and check out, I got my one stitch, and was shaking like crazy!! He told me that some placenta was still inside and that he was going to give me some meds to help me get it out, and fight infection. About 45 minutes after I gave birth, they had me WALK to the bathroom, pee and get in a wheel chair. I was so surprised at how fast they had me do things! I was in so much pain!! I hurt so badly down in that area along with the cramping. UGH!!!! I was asking for pain meds as soon as they put me into my recovery room.

Finally after I had my pain meds, I felt a TINY bit better, I was still in so much pain. I was so uncomfortable. But the pain meds started kicking in and took the edge off. My family came to visit and the photographer took pictures of the kids with their new baby sister. Then with my grandma, uncle, aunt, brother, sister inlaw. I can't wait to see the pictures!


Then they went and bathed Katelyn and she came back with 2 pink bows...she looked SO CUTE!! I loved her so much!!




Then ......we start the first night with our Katelyn......The story continues!!

Fourth Day:

Last night was really hard. I feel like I haven't slept in YEARS, I am in so much pain....I skipped a dosage of meds on accident...so now my body is paying for it.

But little Kate is eating so well!! Its been a family affair with eating, Jed gets up with her, brings her to me, turns on the lights, pillows, burp rags, blankets. Ugh...Katelyn and I have to get on track here.

Bridger and Jocelyn are still at grandma's and Uncle william's house, so its nice that we could have a night to figure it out.

My milk came in the morning, so much MILK! I forgot the feeling of boulders you get and the ache in your chest. I am so uncomfortable, I pumped only 2 ounces from each side to get some extra milk storage. But I still feel so engoraged. Hopefully only a few more days.

Jaundice is up to 15..ugh...I am nervous we are going to have to hospitalize her. They told me to keep nursing and that will help flush it out. I guess the fourth day is their peak day. I'm hoping it goes down. Tomorrow we have to go back to the hospital in the morning.

I wanted to take a picture day and I didn't take one. UGH. I feel awful about it, but will take one tomorrow. I am wanting to take a BILLION pictures of her, as I regret not doing so with Bridger or Jocelyn. Maybe I should just sneak and take one right now.

Pain wise, I'm still sore, but so much better, my ligament pain is still so sensitive right now. BUT I can walk and move around TONS better, I don't need Jed's help that much. Finally my Independence is coming back slowly but surley.

I tried the stupid Belly Bandit. It barley fits around my tummy, and its so not flattering, bludges all my fat rolls up and ugh...but Jed is making me wear it, finally in the afternoon I took it off to take a nap. I'm exhausted...I figure a day or two more won't hurt..or will it!?!?

My neighbors, Steph and Steff came and brought me dinner tonight, it was so thoughtful of them! Pizza with garlic bread and a salad. YUM!! Also our family came to visit Val, Stan, Karrie, Ben and my parents came to visit the baby today, it was soo sweet!! They were so wonderful and sweet about our baby. We are so fortunate to have such good family that is so supportive! They kept telling us how beautiful she was, and what parent doesn't like to hear that?!!?!? =)

We got bridger back tonight, we've MISSED HIM!! Little boy!! SOOOOO good with baby Kate, and so wonderful and sweet! Bridger is our personal baby monitor. 'Mom mom the baby is going "wah wah " like that. lol....So cute!! I think he is so excited to be home too. Our Jocelyn doesn't want to come home, she has been with her cousin and wants to stay there forever!! Little girl! Monday we will pick her up. WE miss her too!!

Going to BED!! Katelyn ate from both sides! GOOD GIRL and now Bridger is asleep, and its 2:26am. UGH...

So I have to write a quick post, because I am wanting to remember how I feel!! I am actually feeling nervous. I've never been induced before and I'm just nervous about it!!

So we decided to do it! I'm done, Jed's done...I've been having contractions for WEEKS!! Come out baby girl COME OUT! As Bridger would say:


"Baby takin to long!:" ...I agree buddy!

We went to celebrate Kenny's birthday, and went to watch Despicable Me, that was awesome. So we took the kids to grandma's house, and to Abulitia's house! Bridger is staying with my mom and Jocelyn is going to stay with my grandma, and her cousin Kaia!

Jed and I are now left alone to pack and get things done for tomorrow!! Then we packed until 2:00 =)

Cat

Tonight we go home with our tiny sweet baby. Its bitter sweet because as much as I want to go home and see my other beautiful other kiddos, I feel so safe here in the hospital. I love it here, I am pampered, medication every 4 hours, food service, breast feeding consultant, I mean I think I saw angels above the building ...




As I was getting ready to go home, I started to feel very depressed. I haven't slept for 2 nights and I was so exhausted. How was I going to do it at home without all the extra stuff add 2 other babies?! As I sat in bed crying that I didn't want to go home, Jed came over and gave me a huge hug. He told me that we were going to be just fine and what a great mother I was. He also told me how proud of me he was, and how amazing I was.

Oh, I'm just crying while I write this, hormones, but it was just the perfect thing to say to me! Then he ended it perfectly by saying that he would be my room service for the next couple of weeks. =)


Look at that tiny baby? She looks even smaller in the car seat. When she was born she was 6.5 pounds, but by the time we left the hospital she lost 5 ounces poor little thing...my sweet tiny Kate!!




 Sometimes I can't believe they let us go home with them being soo tiny!! Jed being the PROUD papa!



Our ride home, we were able to spend it alone with Kate. Bridger and Jocelyn were gonna stay one more night with their Grandma and Abulita. So Jed stopped by Koi and got some sushi for me. YES!! Finally after 9 months without! 

We came home and it felt GOOD! It felt so nice to be home with our baby. We snuggled into our own bed and ....were home.

I didn't miss the hospital one bit, and Jed has been so incredible during this the whole time. He has been so amazing to me and just the best man in the world. I am so lucky to have him as my husband. I love him so much!! He has been an amazing support to me, and I just can't think of anyone else I would love to spend eternity with. Cause honestly it doesn't feel like enough!!

Cat

38 weeks

Total weight gain: 30 lbs (Yikes) But been the same weight for 3 weeks in a row! =)

Sleep:  I haven't been able to sleep the last week. I'm so tired, and exhausted. Hopefully its because your going to come EARLY.

Best moment this week:  Shaving my legs....ugh!! 

Food cravings: Nothing!! Its so hard to eat anything anymore, although my friend made some really yummy Tuna Pasta, and some Cafe Rio style salad that I've been craving for!!

Gender: GIRL!!

      {We are still thinking of names : Katelyn, Miriam, Vivienne, Cheyenne, and Megan. Middle names we are debating are: Lou, Ana, and Miriam. Its been so hard to settle on a name for this tiny little baby. I am just waiting to make sure its the perfect name for her, I guess I won't know until I finally meet her. I hope she lets me know!

I remember when I was first married, there was this cute young mom she was waiting to visit with the bishop. She had her tiny baby with her, and she told me that she hadn't been able to pick out a name yet for her baby. She told me that was the reason she was visiting with the bishop. I remember saying, yes, I bet picking out a name would be hard, is this your first baby? She said...No, its my third. But it feels the same as your first.


Back then I didn't realize what she meant, but as I'm having my third tiny baby, I totally know what she means. This is my third baby and I still feel as giddy as if she was my first, or second...Its even more exciting NOW that I have Jocelyn and Bridger because they are SO excited to see the baby too. I'm so lucky to have this baby come to our family. We all love her SO MUCH already.}



Belly Button in or out: IN!!!...YEAH totally not out!?!?

What I'm looking forward to: To holding her in my arms!! I'm ready for her to be outside instead of IN. =) I am nervous about the labor, especially the epidural. After that is in, I think I will be in HEAVEN!!

Differences between #1 & #2: They stripped my membranes last Thursday, which they've never done before with the others. So I was fully planning on having her the fourth of July weekend! But she decided she didn't want to make such a big entrance. SO we wait, we have an induction date set for the 14th of July. I'm a little nervous about getting induced, I've never had it done before and have heard great and horrible things about it. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to my dr about it and get some more information. 

So much has happened these past few weeks that I have so much to catch up on. Honestly I was hoping at the hospital when I had this little baby I would be able to catch a few breaths and write about what is going on in our busy lives.

For right now, I'm just going to write a quick blob and then go back and write in better detail. I am 38 weeks pregnant now! YAY! I can't wait until she comes though, I'm feeling very anxious and just ready for her to be in my arms then in my tummy. They stripped my membranes last Thursday, which did NOTHING. Just made me have "FAKE" contractions all weekend long. On Friday night I had such bad Back Labor that I went to the hospital where they told me I went from a "2" to a "2+" ...UGH! So they of course sent me back home.


So Jed and I decided to head up to Wyoming where his family all joined us for a big family reunion! It was so fun to see all of his siblings together. All the cousins were running around so happy and loved playing with each other!

Grandma Glazner had so many fun activities for the grand kids! They had a blast!


He is my hottie hubbie! We love him so much he's so good to his family! We are so lucky to have him as our Daddy!!

haha This picture made me laugh, Bridger with this little scowl on his face. ALSO the nice haircut his dad gave him. Ugh. My little bald boy!! Lets just say Mommy is charge of haircuts now.

Kelzy and Audrey doing crafts that their Grandma Glazner prepared for them! They made boats, and candy bags, it was so much fun!

Corbyn, Jocelyn and Carmen having fun!!
Everyone getting their boats together!! Jed was having FUN!

I don't know if this is Aiden or Andrew, but he is showing us he's boat!! =) So cute!

Jocelyn was our first causality of the night! She hurt her little finger with a fire work! My poor baby! She healed fast though, so no worries. =)

All the Grandkids finally in one picture!! Well we are missing Kate! But she wasn't here yet! LOL. But all the cute grandkids let us all take a million pictures of them!! =)

Jed with all his siblings, (Expect COLE!!!) from oldest to youngest!! ...hahah...

This is all of us!! (Except COLE!! We will photoshop you in) all the grandkids, and kids, with grandkids, awww it was so fun! Glad we got a picture of all of us!!

Until next time
