BUMPED!!!

False alarm...... No baby today............

The hospital called this morning and said due to the storm there was a huge influx of women that spontaneosly went into labor and that my induction would be cancelled until tomorrow. I was fighting back the tears with the lady.....then I suddenly just turned into hormonal angry lady and told her, "well you just might see me in there anyway".

By 11:00 a.m. I started contracting hard about every 5-7 minutes. I had my mom come get Emmi. and all I could think of was that I would show them that I would have this baby. If they weren't going to put me into labor....I would do it myself.

I ran errands. Picked out some porch furniture, got some Great Harvest cookies, and hung out on my porch timing my contractions.

Well now it is 7:45 p.m. and still contracting every 7-10 minutes and not progressing at all. I guess tomorrow is the day. I am thinking this little boy just wanted to be a Gemini and not a Taurus like his sister. I always try to pick my kids birthday's but I guess they just have their own agenda. They will come when the hospital is ready, or when I am ready. In the long scheme of things.....what is one day?

Since it is now Friday, I'm wondering if you had your baby. I hope that things went well. Please let me know if I can do anything. I would be more than happy to bring you dinner one night and return the favor.

Family Pics!!!

It's that time again for family pictures for the good ol' Christmas card. I always hate doing this, but you know you just got to do it. It took me weeks to get together everyones outfits. I stewed and stewed about where I wanted the shoot and what style I was looking for. I hired this amazing photographer and I am for the first time extremely impressed of how things turned out. Here are a few sneak peeks! Emmi was handing out fake smiles and frowns the entire shoot. I can't tell you how hard it is to get everyone with their smiles on in one photo. I think that our little Jack stole the show. He was by far the cutest in every photo. P.S. Oh yeah..... I completely CHOPPED my hair. It's been a little hard to adjust to, but a good change.

Baby JACK JONES!

We showed them didn't we Jack? As I said in my last post I was going to tell the hospital that Jack wanted to be born on May 20th regardless of what they say. My last post was written on May 20th at about 7:45 p.m. While writing the post I did feel some stronger contractions but since I had been contracting all day I really just ignored it. Until I published my post and started walking around. They immediately started coming 3 minutes apart and I had to breath through them. Brian was putting Emmi down to sleep, but I barged into the room and said we need to go to the hospital fast. I called Eric and Kelley to take Emmi and in no less than 5 minutes we were out the door. Emmi couldn't have been more thrilled. Off for a sleep over with her cousins. Driving to the hospital was the longest drive possible. The contractions were coming so fast. I was a contortionist in the passenger seat while gripping Brian's thigh everytime a contraction hit. Brian dropped me off in the round a...

I have "KIDS"

So, I find myself tripping out at the thought that I now have 2 kids. I was completely freaking out before baby Jack arrived due to the fact that I feel like Emmi is a handful and I can't imagine doubling that work. To get myself to calm down I would just tell myself, "everyone does it, right?" Well, to say the least it hasn't been a breeze so far. I am handling the baby fine. Yeah, some sleep deprivation, but Emmi has been a complete "2 year old" nightmare. I believe she is loving her baby brother, although she thinks that smothering, hitting, poking, jumping near his head, yelling in his ear, and collapsing to the floor everytime she doesn't get her way at that moment seems to be a good way to get attention. YIKES!!! My patience is wearing thin. I would LOVE any advice on handling two kids and most importantly handling a 2 year old with a new sibling. This is innocent Emmi loving her brother at the moment
