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...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
