We got in at 7:30 ...

We got in at 7:30 they started everything right away. Dr. came in and couldn't break water yet. I was just 3. At 9:30 she came back and broke my water. It was a massive amount of water. I was about still a 3 and Laney had her hand in the way sitting on her head grabbing their hand when they checked me. She said she would probably move it when I dialated more but if she didn't they would try to get it out of the way. I got epi around 10:30. There ended up being a kink in the line so they had to try several times to fix that. I didn't have a problem not feeling anything but some alarm kept going off. Dr. came in at 12:00 and check and I was a 5. Anyway, I had to lay on my side so the epi would work right and when I did that you couldn't see the contractions. I held the monitor to my stomach so we could see them and they were coming right on top of each other. It was about 12:15. I thought it would be about an hour but then I felt pressure and told Bryan they might need to come check me, I thought I was about an 8. Nurse came in and I was a 10. So I went from 5-10 in about 5-10 minutes and Laney moved her hand. Dr. came in, I pushed 1 1/2 times and she was out. The tubal wasn't done until 4:45 and my belly button hurts pretty bad. Only reason I'm taking the pain pills is because of it. It really was pretty easy.

Kelly and Bryan and Kaylen CONGRATULATIONS! Now take a deep breath and it will be time to change a diaper... just kidding. Enjoy--you know what you're up against! Love you all, hope you can plan a trip to Kansas sometime soon! Love, Jill

Today is a very sad ...

Today is a very sad day. It is Kaylen's last day at her current daycare. There were lots of tears by me and the teachers. They had a party for her and made the best sign with all of the kids handprints on it. That place is so special to me. They have loved her like I could only dream someone would. She has so much fun there and there isn't one minute of my day that I would worry about her because I knew she was very well taken care of.

They will always hold a special place in my heart for taking care of my most prized possion for 2 1/2 years. Thank you Miss Kay, Michelle, Sam, Annett, Miss Sharron, Jennifer, Linda, and everyone else who touched our lives.

I'm 1 1/2 cm dialated. ...

I'm 1 1/2 cm dialated. I told the Dr. she needs to stay put in there and stick with our plan. We have been going to basketball games some. Kaylen does well but I don't like taking her during the week as she doesn't get enough sleep and then is very cranky the next day so I only take her to the Friday games. She stays with Grandma and Grandpa Merritt for the Tuesday games.
