Birthday in da house!
Today is Owens Birthday! he turns 5!! it is amazing how quickly our kids grow! I wish I could freeze him in time right now he is still so sweet (sometimes) and innocent (again sometimes!). I thought I would share the birth story of OWen because it was so special to me and I was bright enough to write it down with in a week of his birth so there is some pretty funny things that would have been forgotten!
Here ya go:
Tuesday I went in and saw the dr and made arrangements to be started Wednesday morning if there was a room. I got up at 5:50 Wednesday morning. ya after about three hours of sleep. anyway I took a shower and we left. we got to the Hospital at 6:30 and they checked us in. I got myself compfy in a little room that resembled a large closet, (no room yet) they said we had to wait till they started discharging patients to get a room. The nurses changed shifts at 7:00am and so about 7:30 our nurse for the day came in. We filled out all our forms. whew finally. she checked me and I was almost to a 5 and my bag was bulgy. she started up the IV and pit and said she'd make sure I got the first room. within a couple minutes I thought I was losing control of my bladder and mentioned it to her. she walkd me to the Nurses lounge to use the potty. (there was no potty in the large closet) came back about 5 minutes later we got our new room!! it was about 9:15. still thinking it was normal and I was wetting myself I mentioned it to her again (about 10:30 now) she checked and said it smelled like amniotic fluid, she got a little strip of PH paper and it was positive for Amniotic fluid. so My water broke right after she had started the IV and didn't even know it. still the contractions were nothing and I was so tired of waiting, she checked me again about 11:30-12:00 and I was to a six. dum-de-dum, still waiting, I decided not to get the Epi.... okay so now The contractions really start coming fast and stronger. It's still around 12ish and I'm only to a 6 and the Ped nurse comes in and introduces herself and starts getting the baby stuff ready, they start pulling everything out and I was really confused, When I was to a 6 before I didn't deliver for a few hours. Ok now it like 12:30 and it's really starting to hurt. Ugh Now I'm wondering why I didn't just get the Epi and thinking I was going to be like this for hours. she comes and and says she's called the Dr I don't know wwhy. I think I'm going to be like this for hours.. haha I am so niave!! Don was so wonderful, remember I mentioned he painted my toenails?? and joked the nurses were going to talk about them? Well they sis haha. the Ped nurse was talking to my nurse asking if she's ever noticed about 95% of the women come in with their nails painted and about 80% are red. then they talked about twhat color their's were. it's about 1:00 now and I'm feeling like I really need to go to the bathroom. the nurse says no you'll deliver on the floor...HUH?? I'm that close?? so now I'm feeling like pushing, I was told not to push with cora so I am terrified that they are going to tell me not to push.. yea right!! I just said AAAA a need to push the nurse says go ahead! so I push of course I'm not in position, she checks me and says your almost completely thinned. uuuu I need to pussh again, she checks and I'm ready, she gets me into position.... have I seeen the DR yet?? no.. but he walked in and looks at me comes sits down. they asked me soemthing I don't have a clue I just said in some weird voice... the mirror.. so they hurried and got it adjusted and I could see the babies head. One BIG push and the baby's head is out. stop?? ugh!! one more push!! yep in 3-4 pushes he was out!!! at 1:19pm he was born. IT'S A BOY!! But I knew in my heart it was, so I wasn't suprised! oh btw as the head was out they all had to mention how big the head was... anyway they all took guesses at how heavy he was, the Ped nurse guessed right. 9lbs 10 oz. oh finally!! I just wanted to roll over and go to sleep.
as a side note. I read that during that period when your dialating those last few centimeters some women feel they want to just jump on the first bus out of town, ya I felt that, and they sat and talked about how wonderful it is we have hospitals and how horrible the pioneers had it. to deliver in the woods and out on the plains. oh geez!!
Anyway it was really so wonderful! I'm glad I did it without the epi but don't think I'd do it again by choice. Owen is soo beautiful!!

I was soo tempted to go put my new hoody on yesterday but I knew DOn would laugh at me so I didn't and it will sit int he closet till another day :( It is cooling off and it finally rained after almost two months of no rain! we had more rain on August 31 than the whole summer together!! WOW! It only got to about 60° yesterday and it was scrumptious!! of course it will start to warm back up I think today is back up to the 80's. ugh!

We went upt o our trailor oh man I didn't take pictures!! blah! ok my mom did I will go steal some of hers! I will make anopther slide show cuz they're fun! Saturday Don saw a fire seemed fairly close and quite frankly scared the crap outta me so we decided to jump on the 4-wheelers and go see how close we were to it! so Anna (my sister) got on mine with Sadie and Owen got on with Owen. Well we took off and went up the hill a bit and (oh I thnk my dad got on his little motorcycle and came but couldn't get up the hills so headed back) ok so we got up and decided it was a lot further than we thought so Sadie totally crashed and we wanted to get closed so we dropped her off with my mom and we took off. well we were gone a long time and we were soo dusty cuz it is soo dry and of course we are sunburned. we decided to come home Sunday because of the rain well don got up early yesterday and went hunting with no luck :( so he is going again this weekend. well here they are enjoy!
