Our Sweet Baby Boy

JH waiting patiently on his baby brother!

Wow! Has it been a week or what???? I can't believe that I am just now getting the time to post sweet Nash on our blog!

Last Wednesday morning, I got out of bed (as usual) to get Jon Harris up from school. When I walked in his room, I thought I was "wetting" on myself. lol! It took me about 10 minutes to realize that my water had broke. I called Sarah and Bo to tell them. We all were in shock! Sarah beat Bo to our house. I thank God for her for so many reasons but I am so thankful that she was able to get there and help me with Jon Harris! She took GREAT care of him while we were in the hospital. I could not have made it with out her! - Bo got home and we finished packing and headed to the hospital.

We got there about 10ish. I checked in and had to wait in the waiting room for about a hour. When they finally called me back, I had to go in a triage room. I had to wait about 3 and 1/2 hours for a labor and delivery room to finally open. It was a mad house- the nurses said that the cold front that moved in put everyone in labor. I had no idea that the weather could play a part in labor but the nurses said it was true! They even had to call in extra staff. I finally got in a room about 2 or after. Dr. Cole said that I could finally have an epidural and pitocin when I got in my room. I got both of them about 3:00. I had a "hot spot" where my epidural didn't take. When the anesthesiologist got there to give me more medicine, 3 nurses came running in. They rolled me over on my side, threw oxygen on me, and had stuff flying everywhere. It took us until everything was okay to know that something was wrong. Nash's heart rate had dropped..... It scared me to death. It went back up (thank goodness.) I got more medicine.... just in time. I had dilated from 5 cm to 10 cm in 25 minutes. Nash's heart rate dropped because I dilated so fast. I waited for Dr. Cole to get there before I pushed. When she got there, I started pushing. I felt NOTHING- it was awesome! On the second push, all I could do was laugh because #1: I was so excited that I could not feel anything. (I felt alot with JH.) #2: Bo and the nurses were making horrible faces (guess they were trying to push for me)- they looked like they were in more pain than I was. I didn't even make it through the third push and our little Nash was out! I am so thankful that we have a healthy baby boy. He weighed 5 lbs and 10 ounces born at 4:16 p.m. He decided to arrive 3 weeks early. The nurses in the hospital called him "Small and Mighty."

36 weeks

We had our first examination today to see how far I have progressed. I just knew Dr. Cole was going to tell me that I was about 1/2 a cm dilated and 50% effaced (especially being 4 weeks still from my due date.) I guess I was trying to prepare myself just incase I hadn't done anything. Before my exam, we talked to her about inducing before December 1st because we found out that our insurance is changing. (Out of all things!) After the exam, she said I was 2 cm and already 80% effaced. I was shocked! I am where I was when I went in to have Jon Harris. I had Jon Harris in 4 hours. This makes me a little nervous:) I know I could stay where I am for the next couple of weeks but it is scary to think that he could come any day now. I still have a few things to do..... like PACK! I haven't packed the slightest thing. Sarah, I promise I am getting on it tomorrow. I go back next Wednesday at 1:00. She said if I have progressed anymore that she was going to put me in and induce for "advanced cervical dilation." I guess we will see soon!

Miley Cyrus Concert

Wednesday night, We took Jon Harris to the Miley Cyrus concert. JH was so excited! I think he was overwhelmed by all the noise but he loved "Rockin Out." We had a blast! She put on a really great show but she only did 2 songs from the "Hannah Montana Movie". I could tell that Miley is definetly transitioning from the child/preteen Hannah Montana to a more mature audience! The concert was almost too old for Jon Harris. I guess she does have to grow up. It's sad because Jon Harris loves watching the show. Who knows- she has a little sister that might be "the next big thing."

Fall Break

We spent fall break in Missouri at Big Cedar lodge. It was great! I highly recommend this resort! We really want to take a vacation there during the summer. Big Cedar has a ton of cool things to do outdoors! Hikes, horseback riding, fishing, paddle boats, swimming pools with a lazy river, boat rentals, and etc...Unfortunetly, the weather did not cooperate very well. -We still had a good time though! Our last day we did get to take a boat out on the lake. It was beautiful! We saw several skunks. Bo and Jon Harris walked up on one of them. I am so glad they weren't sprayed! LOL!

FUN FALL DAY!!!

We had a great day today! This morning we went to the Zoo to see the new Teton Trek. It is a wonderful addition to our Zoo! We loved watching the new Grizzly cubs playing in the water. The wolves were neat to see, too. I would love to hear them howl.

After we left the zoo, we went to Savannah's brother's (Tucker) birthday party. The party was at Priddy's pumpkin patch. It was so cool! We had the best time! The kids went on a hayride, picked out a pumpkin, played on the playground, rode on a train, and made a scarecrow to take home. Jon Harris did not want to leave! We have our pumpkin and scarecrow by our front door- It looks so cute!

Kids- Ya never know!!!

I picked up Jon Harris from school yesterday (like usual.) I told him that tomorrow was his teacher's birthday. I also told him that we needed to get her a present. We talked about it for a few minutes. I suggested a gift card for a manicure because what woman would not like some "me" time. Jon Harris paused a moment and said.... "Well, she has been talking about losing some weight... so, why don't we get her one of those gift card things to that WeightWatcher's place?" I cracked up- I couldn't believe he said what I had just heard. Bless his heart- He could NOT understand why I was laughing at him. I had to explain to him that you NEVER get a woman a gift that has to do with her weight or age! I hope it was a lesson learned (for future purposes.) :)
