Play Ball.....Bombers!

Well, we arrived home Thursday around 1pm and we have been on the go ever since......First up, Taryn's VERY FIRST T-ball game!

Tyler had a dr. appointment Saturday morning. She had dropped to 5lb. 10oz by the time we left the hospital and she was a little jaundice. Good news, she was up to 5lb. 130z at on saturday. Here she is getting a tan to reduce her jaundice! We went back to the dr. on Monday and she was up to 5lb. 15oz. almost back at birthweight! They say babies should be back up to birthweight by day 10, and was a 1/2 oz shy on day 6! :)

Hallie was so sweet! She made Tyler a book!

So, I am a little behind.....I have been busy! :) Little Miss Tyler was born July 21. I started having pretty serious contractions Monday (20) night on the way home from work. I told Mark, but we weren't really sure that this was is it. With Taryn my water broke and there was no mistaking it. Mark kept thinking that since it broke last time that it would this time...... I had to go by my instructions that the Dr. Office gave me. After about two hours of steady contractions, I called the hospital. To my surprise, Dr. Bird was on call......YAY!!!!! She delivered Taryn, too! :) Anyway, we dropped Taryn off with Mark's parents on our way to the hospital. We got in and about two hours later, NOTHING! The contractions had slowed down, and I was only about 3 cm. Dr. Bird broke my water around 3:45am and the contractions picked up, and slowed again. Around 7:45am she decided to start pitocin. I think my nurse had it high becuase as soon as one contraction would end another began! I got a new nurse at 8, and by 9 I was begging for an epidural! I also got a new dr. at 8.... :( boo, but Dr. Chappel was great! Once I got the epidural, my nurse said that I shouldn't feel anything and would hopefully be able to get some sleep while the pitocin did it's stuff......hahahahaha, yeah right! I think the epidural made me progress faster because by 11:15 or so they were calling for the dr. because it was "baby time"...... a little prep work and 4 pushes later Tyler was here! :) Born in the same room, on the same day of the month as Taryn, and had she arrived before 8am she would have had the same Dr.!

Things are happening......

Nothing major, but I have had several rounds of contractions over the past few days. I never had that with Taryn. My experience was close to one that you would see on TV, the kind that I told Mark would NEVER happen......it's just TV people! No, my water didn't break in the middle of the produce aisle of Harris Teeter or in a department store, however I had no inclination that things were happening until my water broke in the car on the way home from work one afternoon! So, just to keep everyone posted..... Tyler is due NEXT WEDNESDAY JULY 22. We'll see if she waits that long or maybe longer. :)
