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.

37 Weeks

Today I had my weekly Doctor check up! So I'm at 37 weeks and only 3 weeks to go! Its all so exciting to be almost done. So according to the Dr I'm already 2 cm dialated which is really good, since I have been experiencing contractions the past couple days & extreme backaches, not to mention getting close to no sleep. He also guessed she'd be about a 6 lb baby & I'd have a fast labor since I'm already dialating & my pregnancy has been really good -not to mention I've only gained 15 lbs, which is great for 1st time mommy.

So even though I'm only 37 weeks it is typical for babies to come sooner than the due date of 40 weeks, so I can only keep my fingers crossed for baby to come early!

Oh and I've got to say Dana is so cute, he is so excited to be daddy & to for her to come out that he was giving her belly kisses & talking to her today it was so cute! Anyway I'll keep everyone posted as soon as I hear or feel anything new. For now here's some pics of my current baby.

Baby Shower!

On Sunday my mom & Dana threw me a baby shower it was so much fun- especially with the games. We got whole bunch of clothes, a couple bags of diapers, blankets, the whole works! Here are some pics from the shower.

Winner! She said had technique!

right way to put on a diaper

wrong way! poor child lost its arm to a diaper!

Baby

5 Weeks to go! Oh my goodness I am so excited to be done with this whole pregnancy thing, even though maybe when she's born I might want her back in my belly-- I don't know how much longer I can take with backaches and heartburn, it really is insane. I think I've had back aches for the past 3 months- every single day & the heartburn is the worse; waking up in the middle of the night with heartburn feels so gross! Anyway point being is I'm done being preggers & excited to be official mommy!

So the past couple weekends I've been trying to piece together Kailani McKenzie's room! I've still got a couple things to go but its all turning out really cute!

Happy New Year 2009!

This year we spent New Years at my parents house, it was a little bit different because we didn't spend it with my whole extended family, but it was still fun!

We spent the night playing games, listening to music & watching the kids dance! It was pretty laid back but totally worth it. Oh also I joined Dana earlier that day to get a haircut & decided I needed a change as well so I chopped off my hair even more! It looked weird since i'm not used to short hair like this but its so much easier to manage. Anyway I don't really have a new year resolution this year besides getting this baby out of my belly in the next 7 weeks & losing weight. Anyway Happy New Years!
