Our new addtions

So we have a new member in our family which is exciting and fun. I also got my computer this week which I was also very excited about. I am playing with new things so here is my first collage and hopefully there will be more to come.

Tys did his first blog entry which I was impressed he did, without me even asking. Thanks Tys! I am afraid to say this out loud, or rather type out, but Collin has been absolutely wonderful. He came out and first thing he nursed great and hardly cries at all. The delivery went pretty well once it "started". We went in at midnight on Tuesday night and finally got checked in about 3:3o am. We had some crazy weather which caused a lot of activity in labor and delivery, sounds funny but you can ask any nurse (that works in labor and delivery, anyway)and they will tell you weather definitely effects labors. So being that we were being induced we were a lower priority, which I understand but was frustrating since we had to sit out in the uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room for such a long time in the middle of the night. The craziness continued, we were able to get into our room and start resting at about 4:30 am and just waited around till about 11:00 am before they even started a little pittosin. I did get an epidural pretty quickly and after a frustrating process and 4 pokes later I was hooked up. Once they had time to give me a little more attention and more pittosin things moved more quickly.

Kung Fu Mama

So Here is my funny story. When things started moving and the nurse was getting the stirrups out I thought I would "help" the nurse and gently lift my own leg into the stirrup. Remember I have the epidural at this point and no real control over my legs. So what my brain was telling my leg was gently lift. What really happened was kung fu kick to the nurses face. I got her right in the eye and pretty good. I was apologizing like crazy and she had to leave the room. I guess in over 20 years it has never happened before, go figure. She recovered and came back quickly to help me finish. I feel really bad but I still get the giggles when I remember it and replay it in my mind. For Tys b-day he took the boys to Kung fu Panda, maybe I should have gone to pick up some new moves.
