I started having contractions at 2:30 on Valentines Day. At about 5 I decided maybe it was time to call up to Labor and Delivery and see wether they thought I should come up or not. They wanted to evaluated me so as soon as ryan got home from work we headed up. I didn't really think I would end up having the baby. I thought they would just send me home and tell me it wasn't time yet. My actual due date wasn't until March 2nd and I had had labor pains before that lasted several hours. They checked me and i was only dialated to a 1. At 6 o'clock they gave me a medication to stop my contractions. It worked for about 20 min. :) Dr. Dyer told the nurse that i wasn't really in labor and to just send me home to rest. Luckily, I had a very intune nurse that thought that it was probably a bad idea and she decided to check me one more time before I left. I had jumped from a 1 to a 5 in about an hour. Thank goodness I didn't go home!

They went right to work and started prepping me for my C-Section. I was super nervous for the spinal block, but i had an amazing anestheologist. It was so much better than having an epidural. We thought things would go pretty smooth after that, but we were wrong. The baby was breach and completely stuck. They had to cut both horizontally and vertically to try and get him out. I remember the doctors teasing that he had a firm grip on my ribs and wasn't going to budge. It seemed to take a lifetime before he was actually out. I definetly had a sigh of relief. But i sighed a little to soon. Baby thought he would give us a scare and stop breathing. They rushed him to the ICU and for 21 minutes they had to help him breathe and give him oxygen. I hated not hearing him cry before they took him. I was worried sick and just wanted to hold him. It took the doctors a long time to sew me up. While i was in there the ICU called in with the weight of the baby. They told us in grams so everyone was trying to figure out what it was in pounds. I was shocked when they told me he was 4 pounds 12 ounces! We weren't quite sure why he was sooo little, but he has proven to be as healthy as a horse once they got his breathing under control. They wheeled me into the ICU after I spent my time in recovery, and i finally got to see my sweet boy.

He spent 2 days in the ICU. They finally kicked him out after the 2nd time he pulled out his IV. They said he was like Houdini alway getting out of his blanket and causing problems. I was really excited to finally have him in the room with me and be able to show him off to family and friends. We love him so much and are blessed to have him apart of our family.

baby with the family

Everyone was so excited to see the baby! The kids had to wait until he was out of the ICU until they could see him. It took a couple of days, but he finally got to move in with me. :)

# 5

This is last picture of me before I had baby #5. I felt so big and miserable, but at the same time I was trying to enjoy the last time I would be pregnant.

Brooklyn & Carson

Brooklyn playing ball with her cousin Carson. They are so funny together....but, don't be fooled by their cuteness! :)

WYATT!!!! What are you doing!

This a prime example of what my Wyatt comes up with doing during the day! He is completly crazy! I even gave him a quarter to walk over to the neighbors house and say HI. He totally did it. He loves to be silly and it definetly makes my life interesting! :)

Kaden's very 1st Basketball game!

There aren't many things funnier than watching 7 year olds try to play basketball. This was Kaden's 1st year playing and he really didn't have a clue what to do. (Other than to make a basket, which he is pretty good at.) At one point in the game he was bringing the ball down the court and was afraid someone would try and steel it so he decided it would be best to dribble backwards all the way down! I couldn't stop laughing! There he was.....all by himself.....dribbling backwards down the court. How cute is that! We love you Kaden!

Kaden's 1st grade Program

It was amazing to watch Kaden during his program. He was soooo enthusiastic!! And to think, a couple years ago he would even stand up in front of a crowd! We are very proud of him and how much he has grown.

The 1st picture is of his best friend and neighbor, Landon.

Valentines Day

A couple of days ago we got together with our Amazing neighbors and let the kids make Valentines box's. Let's just say it was organized chaos! :) We really did have a great time. The kids also each made a card for a family member of the Sullilvan's that is in Iraq. I hope he is as excited to get the cards as we were to make them. (Stay safe Riley!) Also a big thanks to Sarah for coming up with the idea and letting us bombard her house.

We had so much fun the other day sledding with some great friends. Our kids absolutely loved it, even little Brooklyn. It took us a while to find a place that had enough snow, but it was so worth it. I can't wait to get another storm just so we can go again. I love spending time with my family and friends. :)

Christmas!

This Christmas was really interesting. Wyatt and Brooklyn were both throwing up and running fevers all night! Once we started opening presents they both perked up. :) Presents have a funny way of doing that. We each took a turn sitting home with the sick ones while the other half went and spent time with our families. I wish we could have all been together, but we still enjoyed the day.

Beautiful Girl

Brooklyn looked so cute on Sunday I had to take a couple of pictures of her. She even gave the camera a cute little pose. She is adorable!

My baby boy turned 5 on Saturday! I can't believe it! Where does the time go. I am soooo thankful that he is still lovey and lets me cuddle him. He is such a sweetie. His favorite things to do are put puzzles together, color, wrestle his brother and go to Pre-school. I love watching him grow and learn new things. happy birthday wyatt!

i also had to throw a picture in of grandpa and his party skills....aka sleepy time. :)

daddy's little helper

We love our little helper! She is soooo adorable and loves spending time with her daddy. Lately she has been crying every time he leaves for work or even tries to go to the bathroom. Im glad she loves him so much. On a side note, while Brooklyn was helping daddy my other 3 were in the boy's room busily cleaning. When they finally allowed us in the room to see what they had done I couldn't believe my eyes.....it was spick and span! They were sooo excited for us to see it and i don't think i have EVER seen it that clean. (Not even when I do it!) What a great little family we have. We are so blessed!

Happy Happy Halloween!

I love how excited my kids get for Halloween. They have so much fun and are completly wired. :) That part makes me a little crazy, but it is still fun to watch them. This week we have been battling sickness. Luckily, at least the kids are feeling a little better for trick-or-treating. Im hoping we all get feeling better soon.

pretty new do's

Bailey & Brooklyn both got haircuts! I love Bailey's hair short like this. It is so easy and all I have to use is a round brush! It's wonderful. :) This was Brooklyn's 1st haircut! I was suprised she would even sit still long enough for Aunt Emilee to cut it. Her hair is coming in sooooo much thicker now. I think my girls are BeAuTiFuL! Thanks Em!

Bailey's Baptism

On the 26th of September, Bailey was Baptised. It was a great day! She was pretty nervous the night before when she realized that she was going to be the center of attention, but after our cousins from SLC stopped by she forgot all about it. (Thanks guys!) We are so proud of Bailey and the decision she has made. She is such a sweetie. We love her so much!

Football!

My cousin Austin had a game in Sugar City last thursday so we went to watch him......boy was it cold. Here is a couple of pictures of a very bundled up Brooklyn and a couple of very tired kids! FUN FUN FUN!!!
