Cookie Bouquet

When we got home from the hospital we had balloons and flowers, my mother in law sent us a cookie bouquet for the new baby and the cookies where really yummy I ate like three of them the first day

A few pics

Here are just a couple pics of Maryn in the hospital and taking her home. Cale has adjusted to having her here pretty well. He doesn't try to hurt her or anything. He will give her his blankie if she is crying. He also likes to check on her and shhhes me and says baby sleeping. I want to get some professional pics of the both of them taken soon but I really don't think Cale will sit still for it. we will have to see in the mean time here are some from my crappy iphone.

She's Here

Maryn Elizabeth Leavitt was born on August 4, 2010 she weighs 7lbs 12oz and was 19" long.
Her birth story is short and sweet. We went to the hospital to do a stress test because I wasn't feeling her move as much as normal, and the Dr. said that her heart beat was dropping and spiking every now and then and they couldn't get a good base line so he was worried that there might be some pressure on the cord stressing her out. So we decided to induce right then. I got changed and went to my room had an epidural, pushed twice and she was born. Perfectly healthy. The cord was around her neck but not tight.

I have some pics but they are still on my phone. I must admit I am too tired to put them on the computer or even take any good ones. Maybe next week. It is taking some adjusting to get used to having two little ones at home and I am terrified for Cason to go back to school, but I guess we'll just have to suck it up and get used to it.

the bedroom (so far)

So the kids's room is almost done I took some pics today and decided to post what I have.

I was at the Dr. last week and they did an ultrasound and the baby is perfectly normal as far as weight. They don't think she will be as big as Cale was but you never know. So we have my induction date for the 6th of August unless she decides to come sooner. He also said I was already 2cm and 50% effaced, but I was like that with Cale for like 2 weeks so I am pretty sure she will be here on the 6th. We are so excited to meet her, and get her home to join our family.
here is a pic of cale just because I think he's so cute.

Baby update

I went to the doctor on thursday and he was telling me that my baby is measuring 2 weeks too small so we need to do an ultra sound and check all her measurements to make sure she is growing the way she is supposed to be. I have been having a lot of contractions as well so he doesn't want me to go into labor if shes not big enough ( I won't go into labor though the doctor said I was very soft but not dialated so we will do an ultra sound next week and see how things are. I am a little nervous since Cale was such an easy pregnancy and delivery I just expected this one to be the same and I was SO wrong.

Cale, however, is more fun than ever. He climbs on EVERYTHING and falls off of everything too. He walks around pretending to be on the phone and saying Hi and um and I don't know. He says so many words now its so funny. He is also sleeping in his toddler bed. He does ok in it. He still falls out quite a bit. We found him sleeping on the floor last night and he still wakes up a couple times a night, but I think hes getting used to it. He also wakes up so early. sleeping was never his thing.

Cason and I are just trying to finish up some little projects on the house, finish decorating the kids rooms, organize our garage in this stupid heat, and get all the baby stuff set up clean and stuff were about ready. Cason sneaks golf in once a week and some bike rides, and I sneaks some naps.

Awesome Show

My mom sister and I all went to see In The Heights a the Gammage theater. I had only heard about it but had no idea of the story. It was so so good. The music was upbeat and fun I would defiantly recommend it.

Date Night at the Hospital

So we went to Las Vegas this last week with plans to stay for a couple weeks. When we got there Cale got sick with a fever and runny nose, Cason got food poisoning, and I had some pain in my lower back. People started to feel better and I just thought I was having some back pain like pregnant women do and ignored it. The next day my pain was defiantly in my right kidney and excruciating. I called my Dr. to see what was up and he said he needed to see me right away the pain could send me into labor.

So we threw everything in the car and drove home. Met my mom at the hospital she took Cale and we went to see the Dr. They hooked me up to monitor and the baby was fine. I was having cramps but nothing serious. The did some blood work and decided that it was a kidney stone and infection so I was admitted and pumped full of antibiotics, pain killers, and fluids. For 24 hours.

Cason came by with my dinner and we had a little date night in my room. I sent him home to sleep. The drugs they gave me totally knocked me out so there was no use in him staying. The next day we monitored the baby some more and she was moving well and looking good so they said I could go home if I promised to stay in bed, take my medicine, and drink lots of water.

I have to be on an antibiotic until the baby is born and the Dr. also said that my kidneys might not be feeling normal until the baby is born. So far I have been feeling a lot better.

Thanks Cason for taking such god care of two babies and the house. Also thanks to my mom who takes cale for a while so we can have a little break.
