Brook had her baby!!!

Brook had her baby on Sunday at 8:37 in the morning. Her water broke around 5, but Trysten's heart rate was not looking good so they ended up having to take her. She was born 5 weeks early. Everything looks really good, she is breathing on her own. She was getting to tired while she was eating, so she is going to have to spend some time in the NICU. Hopefully just a week or two, but not sure yet. She was 4lbs 7oz and 17 inches long!! She is beautiful, and you will have to take my work on that. I did see her and even get to hold her, but I left my camera in the car!!! I will try to get a picture emailed to me and I will post it soon.

We are about to leave for Mike's conference in Colorado. We are traveling at night to hopefully make it easier with Rylie. It is about 12 hours!!! He has meetings on Tue-Fri and we will probably be headed home on Saturday. Hopefully they have wireless internet and I can post some pictures while we are there.

Rylie starting pulling up on Sunday!!! (She is only 8 months!!!!) It is so much fun, but a little sad to see how big she has getting. She has not quite figured out the sitting back down thing though. We have had a couple of tumbles!!!

Addison Maye "Addy" is here!!!

Addison was born at 12:48 PM today. Bethany's water was broke at 8:00 am (fill free to hate her, we all do!!!). She was only in labor for 4 hours, and only had to push for 30 minutes-3 sets of contractions. Everything went smoothly. Mom and baby are doing great, here are some pictures.

She weighed 6lb 12 oz and was 18 1/2 in. Can you believe how little she is?? Bethany carried her full term too!!! This first picture was taken about 30 minutes after she was born.


Here is the proud new Mom!!! Yes she has make-up on - I already told you to hate her!!! :)

Her is Brook. She is still in the hospital on bed rest. She will be 34 weeks on Saturday. She had a sonogram yesterday, and her little girl already weighs 4 1/2 pounds. I guess Brook and I are the ones that grow the big babies!! She is allowed one 15 minute wheelchair ride a day, and she used it to see her new niece born just down the hall.

Here I am. I finally got to get my hands and her!! She is beautiful!!

She's crawling!!!!

Rylie crawled for the first time yesterday!! It was a wonderful mother's day present. It is so cute. She crawls on one knee and one foot. I have tried to take a picture but she just sits up. She is still teething believe it or not!! She has 6 teeth already and 7 & 8 are almost through. I can't wait until she is done. She is sleeping pretty good most nights, but is a handful during the day.

Bethany will be induced at 7 on Tuesday morning!!! We are really excited. Addision is on her way!!!

Her are some other recent pictures:




Her she is "helping" me put together her new toy box.

She won't go to sleep without the quilt my mom made. She moves so much we never know how we will find ger when we go in. Most of the time she sleeps with her bottom up in the air.

She was trying so hard to move, but nothing happened. She wanted to crawl so bad, but she was a little nervous to really get moving.

Here she is with her cousin Caden taking a bath at GiGi's house.

She loves to sit and get ready with me in the morning. She will just stare at me as I fix my hair and put on make-up. She is going to be trouble!!!!

Babies on the way!!!!

Bethany has two weeks left until she is due, but she is really hoping she is early. She is having a little girl and is naming her Addison (not sure on the spelling). Her blood pressure has been up a little and so she is only working part-time.

Brook's due date was suppose to be July 1st, but her doctor will be surprised if she doesn't have the baby in May. She is also having a little girl and her name is going to be Tristyn. Brook had to go the hospital last Friday and will be there until she has the baby. Her blood pressure is up also and she has protein in her urine, which is effecting her kidneys a little bit. The doctor said she is a diaster waiting to happening, and they have no idea how long she can wait. She has had two steriod shots to develop the baby's lungs. She had a sonogram on Monday. Everything looked good and the baby already weighs 4 pounds!!! Keep Brook in your prayers. She has 7 1/2 weeks until her due date, and will hopefully be in the hospital another 4 weeks or so. She can't have the lights on or the TV a lot. That causes her pressure to go up and gives her a big headache. She is a little encouraged because she is 2 1/2 weeks farther then Brandi was when she had Hannah (She turned 2 last month!!!!). I will keep you posted on when my nieces make their big entrance!!
