Nothing takes care of your sadness better than the good word of God!


SHE IS SO STINKEN ADORABLE!!!!!

Isabella Eve Burr!

Well I came into the hospital yesterday evening around 5:30. I wasn't sure if my water was leaking little by little or if I had really gone down hill and couldn't control any bladder functioning. When I came in they did some strip testing to see if it was amniotic fluid or just pee and sure enough it was amniotic fluid! They started me on the pitocin drip around 7:30 and shortly after (like 10 minutes) they gave me the epidural. They checked me at 9:30and was dilated to a 4, than checked me again at 10:45 and I was a 4 1/2. I was having contractions 1 to 3 minutes apart, of course not feeling a dang thing!

I LOVE YOU Dr. John Bonica who invented the epidural in the 1930's and administered it to his own wife who was in labor at the time. I'm sure she had somethig to do with it too!!! Just wanted to give y'all a SHOUT OUT!!!!

At around 11:15 I could really feel pressure down there and knew I was ready. I could have probably started pushing right then and there and had her on my own.....but decided to wait for the Doctor. 11:20 the Doctor came in to check me and with a surprised expression (being that only half hour ago I was a 4 1/2) she says you're all ready to go! They got me all situated and told me to push and to slow down when they said so that I didn't tear. The next contraction she said to push I pushed really hard for a couple of seconds and she said "Whoah don't push so hard push just a little." While I was telling her the sizes of my boys at birth (because she asked)I was still on my first little push and out she came! I thought NO WAY!!! That was so easy! That was it? Seriously I have had BM's harder than that! I didn't tear or anything!
Well...she is as cute as can be. They needed to put her on Oxygen for a few hours because her levels were low and they were wanting to take serious precautions because of the experience with her older brother David. She also has a huge bruise on her face from coming out so quickly, (or the tramp ;)...our little secret) but it will go away shortly.
She has a head of dark hair like I did when I was born, 8lbs 9 ounces and 18 1/2 inches long.

Proud Daddy!

Trying to go into LABOR!!

I went to the Doctor today and I am still progressing, I am dilated to a 4 and 80% effaced. She stripped my membranes and told me that I needed to go to the hospital for a stress test tomorrow. The babies heartbeat was staying at 118 and they like it to be in the 120 to 140 range. She also wants to induce me by Tuesday if the baby doesn't come before then. Unless of course when I do the stress test and something is wrong then they will induce me tomorrow.

Well...........I decided to help the process a little more to see if I can possibly start on my own....hence the pictures below......




YES!!!!! I can still do a back flip!!!!! Wahoooo!




I was looking at the pictures afterward and said to Jason "I don't remember bouncing on my knees?" He just looked at me until I figured out that I wasn't bouncing on my knees. It was just my big fat body sinking all the way into the tramp so far that it LOOKED like I was jumping on my knees!! Oh that made me feel soooo good!! Good enough to go eat TWO Klondike bars!!!!

Baby Shower and My Update!

Yesterday my neighbor threw me a baby shower it was so cute to see all the little girl things. I have been in denial all this time but the shower helped me to snap a little into reality and get excited about my baby girl coming! I have just been so overwhelmed with everything going on around me I hadn't had time to get excited. I already put away the cute clothes and dresses that were given to me...and I am WAY too lazy to pull them out again and take a picture. Just imagine cute little girl clothes and you've got it. After the shower my mom (who came up for it...bless her heart) took me out to get something special for the baby. We looked and looked and came across this baby swing, my mom was saying "This is it!" "This is it!" It is like the total Cadillac of swings, I'm pretty sure that it will cook you breakfast in the mornings if you ask it to. It vibrates, swaddles, mimics womb sounds, has a MP3 player hook up so you can download music and play it through the speakers. It also can come off and be used as a ground rocker.You can put any Graco car seat onto the frame (just in case you didn't want to take your baby out of the car seat when you get home)and it swings it just like a swing.

Anyway here is a picture of it.

.....and no that is not my baby! She is still cooking!



On another note..... I went to the doctor on Friday and I was 80% Effaced and Dilated to a 3...so it could be another week or anytime. Here is a picture of me after church posing by a tree in front of our house...looking all happy!


Here is a Candid picture of how I really feel!
