He's HERE!!!!!!!!!!!





This is one stubborn child let me tell you!!! But that is ok, he is here now and all is good! It is a good thing I didn't go into labor this week-end, God was looking out for me! The nurse I had in Labor and Delivery said it was soooo crazy, that I would have been in the hall way pretty much! yikes... Not where I want to be!
Monday morning I was told to call at 6:30, so I did, the head nurse said they were full, but it was looking like I could come in today to have him. I was to call back at 10, so I did, still full, so call back by noon if I didn't hear from them. She called me at 10:20 and said to get in here asap! So we did. Got here and checked in and then by 11:45 got the IV and the potassium (SP?) started. I was still only a 3, but atleast I was started... Then the doc came in later to break my water and check me and I was a 4. I LOVED the nurse I had. She was AWESOME!!! Ok, at first I didn't like her, she had to poke around to get a vein and it swelled up, but the 2nd poke I didn't feel anything! :O) PLUS, I told her I would love to get an epidural, but don't want to get it to early, but then again, not to late. She was awesome and got me one before I got too uncomfortable. BUT it wore off on my right side at 2:45ish. She came in to check me at 2:50 and I told her, I was a 6 by then, so she went and got me a local drug, then called for something much stronger. She checked me again just after 3 and I was completely ready to go, baby's head was right there and everything! I looked at her and said I am not getting anything stronger am I? Low and behold, I did! SWEET!!! Ok, so I am a sucker and don't like pain! I just wanted ONE birth where it was GREAT! And this one was! I would say in all that time, only about a total of 15 minutes of discomfort.. ;o) The doc was already out in his car, so he booked it back up and by the time he got there I had NO feeling in either of my legs! I pushed 3 times and he was out! Thaddeus Larkin was born at 3:26pm May 11th. Weighed 6lbs and 13 oz (The SMALLEST of all of them, but am NOT complaining!!!! LOL) and his length is 19 1/4! As Jen Mumm says, he is a peanut, and I agree, he is! But I love him to death and so does his brother and sisters! Gavin was SOOO excited to hold him! he didn't want to give him up! I guess when he woke up from his nap, Kotah said, Gavin you have a brother, and Gavin said COOL! How sweet! He is going to be so protective of him! Last nite it hit me, we have another boy, OH BOY!!!!!!!!! They are only 4 years apart too, they will be inseparable!!!!!! :O)
Then my mom told us the movers called us yesterday asking for me. She said that I was in the hospital having a baby. They said, "oh, well, we are ahead of schedule and were wondering if they would like us to come out Wednesday to box everything and then load the truck Thursday. We are here to please our customers." My mom kinda laughed and said, well, I am PRETTY sure they will tell you no, but I will give them the message! I am going to be just getting home on Wednesday, yeah, sure, why not come on out? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;o)
Will keep you all updated on everything...

Still can't believe how FAST it went ... that is awesome! We'll be praying for all to go smoothly this week. I don't know why you didn't want to get a head start on the packing :-) THAT is too funny!
Enjoy that sweet boy - he's just beautiful!

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m
