So we got to the hospital bright and early Wednesday morning. By the time they got me to the room and checked me, I was already 4 cm. The doctor came through and broke my water at 8:30. I got really nervous because the hospital said I had Group B Strep, so I needed 5 hours of antibiotics before I could safely deliver Jax . BUT my doc's office report had said I was negative. So I was really confused by that, and told my doctor. He said they just misread my report - I was negative - and told them to discontinue my antibiotics. I really debated about the epidural, but I was progressing so fast that the nurse said I may not have a choice about doing it if I waited any longer. At the time, I still thought that I had GBS so I WANTED to slow down labor so they could get the antibiotics the full 5 hours to run. I'm glad I ended up not needing the antibiotics anyway. So I got the epi when I was 6 cm. The only problem I had was when they were doing my cath , I got really weak. I told...

Well, I've shopped and walked all day today! I bought Jax some really cute clothes at Gymboree. He was very excited to see his loot when I got home! I've been to Target, Saddle Creek mall, Wolfechase Galleria, Steak Escape with John and Aaron, Gymboree, Babies R Us, the granite store . . . I guess I was enjoying my last day out of the house for a little while. My appointment was good. The doctor stripped my membranes and I can definitely tell that has done something!! We are scheduled to go in tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. So wish us luck and say a prayer that everything will go smoothly! This afternoon, I took Jax on a long ride on Big Red. We sang, and he really tried to help me sing the Alphabet song and Doe a Dear. It was so sweet. He also patted on my belly and gave it a kiss one last time. I know he doesn't really understand it, but it just melted my heart. Tonight, when it was time to put him to bed, I was an emotional wreck. I couldn't help but cry. I'm so ...

Last night did not go as well in the big boy bed. This time it took 1 1/2 hours to go through his bedtime routine (story, songs, prayer) and for him to fall asleep. He was asleep 3 1/2 hours before he woke up. I went right in and put him back in the bed and layed down with him. It only took about 5 minutes for him to get back to sleep that time. But then he woke again at 2:30 a.m. He had already opened his door and come into the hall when I jumped up. This time I just couldn't lay there long enough for him to go back to sleep. He was talking and pinching my face...and I was so stopped up that I just couldn't do it. I don't know why, but my sinus problems came back Sunday. Anyway, I took him to the crib....took down the mobile and bumper and tossed him in. I know this is just going to be a process that I have to be patient with. I had more really painful contractions yesterday. I thought (again) we might be heading to the hospital, but they were not consistent. So it looks l...

Well today started with breakfast at my parent's house. Then we came back and all had naps before church. Jax is starting to make it longer and longer in church now. But I can't do it without John blocking him in on one side. I thought about how we'll have 2 with us soon . . . I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this will be an easy baby. Jax has never been, and it takes all of my energy to keep him busy and quiet at church. It will be interesting! Then we had lunch with my parents. We celebrated my Dad's birthday today. We had a great time visiting with everyone, and I think Dad enjoyed his gifts. He's made what we call "a track" around the land in the back. We've been riding Big Red around it everyday, but we are also planning to use it to walk and exercise and even take the dogs on. I know it would be great to have it paved...but it's not going to happen. It would probably cost more than a car to pave around the whole "track." Anyw...

Yesterday when I got home from work, Jax was working in front of the house with his Grandaddy. I was told that he'd already been hosed off once because he had so much sand on him. We pulled up all the bushes in front of our house, had sand brought in, and got new concrete poured for our porch. Today we've been VERY busy! We finished up as much as we could on Jax's room. We're still waiting on the rustic star drawer pulls that I've ordered to come in. Also, we are going to add some stars to the front of the toy box (just like ones on the headboard). And I will probably put something on the shelf in his room too, but I won't load all of the pictures of the cowboy room until Monday. It just takes way too long to upload pictures at home. Please note how hard my mom has worked!! She built the entire toy box and made and attached the cushions on top. She made the headboard for his bed including adding the roping around the edges and the stars on the front. She also ad...
