Big Weekend...

...and I wish I could say that the baby was here, but she's not. My dad came into town to stay with me while Chris had a meeting for work down in French Lick. Landon was and is still trying to get over this nasty cold he has, so he has been a bit challenging and I am exhausted. The breathing treatments turned into a battle and really just made it hard for Landon to listen and not get into trouble. I backed off the treatments a bit and he seemed to do alright with that. I have just been doing them as needed. Friday was an especially hard day for Landon. He just couldn't quite settle down and focus on following rules. We were just non-stop on Friday and by the evening I was really feeling it. We were to have two showings on the house Saturday and I needed to get things done around the house. After Landon went to bed, I decided to relax on the couch for a bit. Landon didn't exactly go right to sleep which made for many trips up and down the stairs to get him back into bed. After about a half hour or so, I finally sat on the couch and realized that I was having alot of contractions back to back. I decided that Dad and I should probably start keeping count and time of them. To make a long story short, I had them every three minutes for an hour and a half. We made a plan, I jumped in the shower to go to the hospital, called Chris and he headed back home (10:00 p.m. and a four hour drive). After I got most everything together and showered, I decided I would sit on the couch for a bit and just see what happened before I called the doctor. Wouldn't you know that when we started keeping track of the contractions, they slowed to every six minutes and then every ten mintues...etc. We decided to just get some sleep as it was almost midnight at this point. Needless to say, nothing else really happened and there is no baby yet. I have been having LOTS of contractions, but nothing like Friday. I have my appointment tomorrow and will be surprised if I'm not admitted to the hospital. Don't want to get my hopes up, but am getting pretty restless and miserable. Other than things with the baby...Landon and Grandpa Bill had a great time. I took a few pictures, but not as many as I had hoped. Thank you so much Dad for coming and staying with us...sorry she just wasn't ready to make her grand appearance. There are a few pictures and a video of Landon having an interesting time with some paint. I will update again tomorrow:)

This past weekend was an eventful one. We drove down for Mason's birthday party that was on Saturday. I wasn't feeling too great that morning and got sick, which I hadn't done in a while. I got sick again on the way to the party, then again when we got back to June and Mark's after the party, then again right before we took off back to Fort Wayne. I just couldn't figure out what was going on. From there, I got sick about every ten miles on the interstate as Chris pulled over, no kidding, about 14 times. I got sick a total of 20 times Saturday and late that night decided that it was time to go to the E.R. I was given two liters of fluid and some meds to keep me from throwing up. We were there for about four hours and then headed home. It took me a couple days to recover; I was so sore from getting sick so many times. Anywho...I was to follow up with my doctor. So, today we went to the doctor to make sure everything was alright with the baby after Saturday. Everything...

Alexa Anne is Here!!!!!

Alexa Anne was born at around 6:00 p.m. this evening. After a bit of a scare of not being able to find her heartbeat, some oxygen and a page to my doctor to arrive ASAP, and about 6 or 7 pushes...she was born. She weighs 6 pounds even and is 20.5 inches long. She is so pettite and looks just like Chris and Landon. Go figure...here again, I am the one that labors and carries the babies and Chris gets all the credit. I'm sure she will change a bit in her looks as she has already changed since she was born. I feel great and empowered as I had to do everything I could to get her out quick because her heartrate dropped down to the 40's. VERY scary but thank God I had Mom and Chris in the roomt to get me through. They were great coaches. Enjoy the pictures. I'm going to get off here while Alexa is taking her bath and we soon will go to bed. Thanks for check'n in. We'll update again tomorrow. Oh and how could I possibly forget...Big Brother Landon!!!! How precious it was t...

One more makes a family of four!

That's right. Chris and I found out a few weeks ago that we are expecting our second little one around mid February. We are very excited! There are still a few of you out there that I wish I could tell other than on our blogspot, but this is the best way for me right now. I have been feeling REALLY crummy and I just can't kick the all day morning sickness. I just wish there was something that I could eat or take and it would give me a break. I know it will be worth it, but it's much more difficult being sick and watching after a toddler. Thank goodness I have the most amazing husband in the world that has really taken on both roles as mom and dad and give me a break when I need one. We couldn't be happier with idea of having two. We are really pushing these milestones and Landon is taking them VERY well! Now, if ice cream cured morning sickness...I would be in good shape (well, not physically and then again maybe that's why it doesn't help). Hope you all enjoyed...
