Garrison has kissed Tarien so many times today that I lost count! It is so cute! He has the lip smack down.

Aunt Adrienne says that Garrison is a really good kisser but to not tell anyone ;)

Tarien Clive Bird

Tarien was born September 28th at 10:13 a.m. I woke up around 3 in the morning and was having some uncomfortable cramps and knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep. So I got up and started reading a book for a little while to see if they would either go away or if they would become more intense. They were about 7 mins apart. Then around 4:30 they were around 5 mins apart. I decided to wake Dallin up. We made it to the hospital around 6. I had to wait for him to wake up a bit =) They checked me and I was dilated to a 4 so they decided to let me stay! I had made it in time for an epidural!!! So they got me hooked up to an IV and the epidural was in about 20 mins later. The doctor broke my water around 9. The nurse checked me an hour later to see how much progress I had made and I was dilated to a 10 and 100% effaced. The nurse said she could feel the baby's head in her hand. It was time to push! So they called the doctor and I pushed and he was born at 10:13! He weighed 8lbs 4 oz, and was 19 inches long. He has lots of dark hair! His face was a little bruised. They said that the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, not tight enough to cut off his breathing but that is what might have caused the bruising to the face. He is perfect!

I love this picture! Garrison is so cute! And Tarien is just happy to be there and sleeping!
Garrison did such a good job being soft with Tarien and gives him lots of kisses.

Baby 2 update 38 weeks!!

I went to the doctors on Tuesday right before I turned 38 weeks. He stripped my membranes again and then asked to see me the following Tuesday. I was scheduled to be induced on the 6th of October. I was dialated to a 3 and about 90% effaced.

Good morning Tarien

This cute little boy loves to have his hands on his face.

baby 2 Update 37 Weeks

I went in to the doctor today and was hoping that he would just tell me to walk on over to the hospital and have the baby. But no I have only dialated to a 2 1/2 and am still about 80% effaced. I have been having a hard time sleeping at night, waking up with contractions. I thought that I was going into labor on Wednesday night, but they stopped after about an hour. Then the past few days I have been feeling an incredible amount of pressure in my stomach and can't really walk around very well anymore. So its safe to say that I am officially ready to have this baby. When I went into my appt. the doctor stripped my membranes and said it would do it again more aggressively at my next appt. So my next appt is on Tuesday and I am hoping that I will just go into labor that night or hopefully tonight =) Its going to be a long couple of weeks if I have dont have the baby until Oct 6.
