kids will be kids

So yesterday we woke up to like 6 in of snow on the ground and the snow just kept coming down it was crazy! Not to mention we were having Sydney's baby shower in the afternoon & we were all worried that no one would show up, but luckily it turned out ok. Anyway I sorta fell in love with egg rolls my mom bought at Sam's - oh my gosh they were so good they were mini so I ate like 10! lol Anyway so we opened gifts and all the good stuff, then everyone left & just my family was left in the living room to clean up & talk. Well little did we know while we were having a great conversation Jr & Evan decided they were hungry & were quietly eating chips in the family room, and those sneaky kids decided to drop the chips all over the carpet... oh my gosh it was the funniest thing yet since I just got done telling them how Jr had gotten to my diaper genie the other day & yanked out all of the bags from it! Anyway I thought it was so funny since grandma & grandpa let those kids get away with murder.

Sydney & gifts

haha they look so innocent

ha notice Jrs head in the bowl! lol

i finally got another pic of Dana & Kailani

Meeting the Teague's

This past week Dana's part of our family finally got to meet Kailani! It was awesome to have everyone over at our house & hanging out.
We had an awesome time even though we didn't do too much because of the weather! It was so yucky between rain and snow we couldn't do anything outside. We did go bowling saturday & tuesday but that was about it. Kailani also got to meet her great grandma! It's amazing to have the chance to spend time with her and take pictures - grandma Jean was more alert than usual and she was able to hold the baby, she liked her so much she didn't want to give her back, it was too cute. Anyway so besides that all we did was play guitar hero & the guys worked on our basement - which I am so greatful for because even though we weren't in a hurry to get it done it was nice to be able to get a lot of the dry wall up! now I can't wait for it to be done. Overall we had such a good time & we are so greatful to have such a wonderful family all around.

the 3 psychos & one happy girl! lol

This weekend I went a little crazy with the camera & here are some pics I took of the baby. She's so photogenic it's like she was born for the camera.

Kailani Update

The past 11 days have gone something like this...

For beginners Kailani is doing great, the first 2 days at home she had to be put under the light because her jaundice count went up from when she left the hospital & oh my goodness it was crazy! She had to be on it around the clock the whole weekend so at night it was like sleeping with the lights on, thankfully it worked and it went down by monday & the dr took her off the lights. Dana was especially thankful for that since he hates watching tv or sleeping with the lights on, but she's totally worth it!

Anyway she's actually a pretty good baby, she wakes up 2 times a night & when she's in a good mood she usually eats & goes back to sleep - although sometimes she makes me stay up for an hour or two, oh well I can't complain at least she's healthy right? Oh the other night I accidently fell asleep with her in my arms & since i didn't want to get up when I realized it I put her next to me on her bobby pillow, well Dana wakes up at like 7:30 am and can feel something pushing his back-- you guessed it! she had managed to roll off the pillow and was right behind Dana, thankfully he realized it before he rolled on top of her; gosh I felt so bad, like I was a bad mommy I almost cried! Anyway so she's ultimately doing good and always has something new for me to learn, I especially love it when daddy talks to her while she's sleeping and she smiles or makes funny faces, I think she already knows her daddy is a silly boy!

7 lbs 10 oz bundle of joy!

Our Fam Bam

Finally baby Kailani McKenzie Teague was born after a 12 hour labor on Thursday Feb 19, 2009 at 7:40 am! She weight 7.1 lbs and and 20 in long!

I was admitted to the hospital at 7pm and induced by 8, I tried to take the pain & do without the epidural but by midnight the pain proved to much, and I requested the epidural, which did hurt but was worth it, I don't think I could have taken the pain for another 6 hrs! Its really crazy to think how our mothers & grandmothers did it without ant meds I can totally give them a huge pat on the back for that! Anyway by 3am I am 6.5 cm dialated and 30 min later I was 8 cm, I was so ready to go, but the nurse stopped the pitocin meds so it kinda slowed it down & it look until 6:45 am to reach a full 10 cm by 7am I was pushing & by 7:30 my dr came in and about 10 pushes & 10 min later baby was born! It was extremely exciting & overwhelming to hear & see baby out after 9 months, and yes I did cry! Anyway after two days in a hospital bed i was ready to come home which we were supposed to be home by 4 pm on Friday but didn't come home until 630 Dana& me were so annoyed to have spent nearly 3 hrs extra at the hospital in this confined room. Anyway we're finally home &baby is all healthy and happy to be home!

pretty girl!

So this weekend I tried to finish up the baby's room, thanks to my sister who sent me the crib set, it came together so much better! The only thing is I can't fit much more since Dana hasn't moved the futon out of the room & can't since we'll have visitors, so other than the futon the room looks really cute! I still need some finishing touches but I think for the most part we're good until the baby comes, which should be in 7 days or less, hopefully!

False Labor

So this whole weekend I had been having labor pains & decided after 3 days to go the hospital. So Sunday morning at 3 am we head to the hospital, sit there for 2 hours & nothing - apparently I hadn't dialated enough & it was just false labor, So my unborn child is already causing me pain for no reason!

So its 5 am & Dana is starving so we went to get McDonalds, not to mention the nurse gave me a sleeping pill so by the time we were driving home I couldn't even think of food.
Anyway it was kinda exciting knowing that she could be coming any time soon - I really can't wait for this to be over & hopefully it's soon now that I only have 2 weeks left.
