So I know I am such a slacker so here are a few Pictures from the first week. So they only let me get these two on before it decided it didn't want to work anymore..... will post more later..

My Version

So this is what I looked like on Sunday and then me sometime at the hospital.

I thought that I would have had a ton more pain to let me know that I was in labor. Well that didn't happen at all. So I woke up at 2am and thought it was very early for me to have to go the bathroom, so I went and came back and noticed that I had a bit of Back pain. Nothing out of the ordinary for me so I noticed the time and thought if it doesn't go away by 5 i will wake up JJ. So I am laying there and Stretching trying to make the pain lessen. I turn over on my back and about 5 min later I hear a pop. (earlier that day my mom and I were talking and she said that she HEARD her water pop before she felt anything. I thought that was very weird!!)So I heard a pop and then felt a pressure change below... So I got up and made it like half way to the bathroom before I started leaking water....... I TRIED to call for JJ like 10 times before he responded (He thought I was screaming but that was after like 5 min of me calling him so I probably was yelling by then but I was pretty calm, just really surprised at what had just happened) ANYWAY... I showered and told JJ what I needed him to get around. So I called my mom and was like what do I wear... Just go to the hospital was her response..... umm ok... so off we go. Anway... After that everything pretty much happened like JJ said below... I felt so good once I got the epidural they did actually take a nap. Pushing was a lot harder then I thought it would be we pushed a total of about 2 hours.. all in all it was a pretty good time! I will do it again sometime down the road I am sure...

The Newest Loden on the Block

To those of you have heard, and those of you that are still waiting we have wonderful news. Feb. 20th 2008, JJ and I had the most amazing experience! Yes Yes, the birth of our little baby boy Loden. Of course JJ and I had thought about some names for him before we came to the hospital, but it wasn't till we held him and looked at how cute he was before we knew what his name was. (And then we changed it about 5 times) So here is the story of what happened!!

Dad's Version

Woke up from a screaming wife 3:00 am

Realized what she was taking about 3:10 am

Started to Panic and run around like a crazy person 3:10.05 sec

Joane called her mother around 3:15 am

She took shower and got dressed 3:25 am

I put everything and everyone in the car 3:35 am

Arrived at the hospital and dropped Joane off at the ER 3:45am

(For those that our Expecting, Fathers should do test runs during all Hours of the day-

Notice time to hospital 10min - Time to hospital will be different during daylight hours)

Joane was put in Room around 4:00 am

Joane was tortured by the I.V. nurse sometime between the hours of 4:30 and 5:00 am.

(Really it took that long for then to actually put an I.V. in her)

Blood work came back around 5:30 am and the talk about the Epidural soon followed.

Epidural was giving around 6:20 am with a few doses of potosen. (Speeds up the contraction)

Called work to inform then that I wasn't going to make it today or the rest of the week. 7:00 am

(I think I was replaced around 7:30 am)

Took a short nap for 7'ish to 10:00 am

Record the most amazing Miracle in my entire life 11:29 am

(Due to the rush of posting this I might have left out some important information)

(Like his name) IT'S OFFICAL

GOOD NEWS

So we had our Dr. appointment today! it was a good thing because I could not wait another day! I finally know that all this back pain is doing something! I am dialted to a 2 and 1/2 and 80% efaced... YEAHHHHHH!! He said we are looking great and could go anytime! I am very happy with that. Here is a pic of what I looked like last night... not that it has changed that much since then..

Dr. Appointment

So today we had another Dr. Appointment. you would think it would just be pretty boring stuff about now but nope always something new. Just to recap at 33 weeks I was measuring 2 week bigger then normal, Dr. said I would probably be just fine this next appointment soooooo no biggy right? hahah First I gained 7 1/2 pound in 2 weeks!!!! CRAZY!! I am soooo upset about that it totally threw me for a loop! Next I am not even sure how big I am measuring this week the Dr. didn't tell me but wanted to let me know that I had a big baby in there and we needed to start thinking about how to get this thing out... hahaha... We both Blame JJ for this big baby! He had us do another ultra sound to see how big he acutally was measuring. The DR said he would not be suprised if he was already an 8 to 10 LBS.... CRAZY (keep in mind I should still have 5 weeks till I am due)So we did the Ultra sound and it is FOR SURE (no doubt about it) a BOY!! It also is a full size baby at 7.9lbs Due on the 20th of Feb. according to the size.... The DR was acutally supprised he thought he would be bigger. Which is good news for me! So he said I could have this baby anytime now! Dr. will check me next week(if we make it till then)to see if and how much I am dialated. He said if I think I am in labor I probably am even if I think it is too early. He said to come in anytime I think I am . How am I supposed to know?? haha I am new to this part! On Sunday a sister in my ward (Kelli Richins) told me that she gives me three days to have the baby. She said she could see it in my face. hahah I laughed at that and now it is not so funny anymore. My next appointment is on the 14th because he is out on Mon, Tue, and Wed of next week. I just hope He is there when the baby comes... So needless to say I am getting everything ready.. Stressing just alittle... I am supposed to have more time right... hahaha... We still have not picked a name yet and probably won't until we meet each other.. I will update again on whatever comes first (Dr. appointment or baby)
