The Story...

Katelyn is not so sure, but she does love to kiss her (maybe a little too much)

Very proud big brother

As I said earlier I was scheduled to be induced Tuesday morning. The doctor said in the mean time if I had contractions or my water breaks I need to get to the hospital quick. He was worried that the cord could possibly come out first since Ellie was sideways in me. I was pretty sure nothing would happen early, but on Monday I kept having contractions when I got up and cleaned or did something with my kids. I would sit down for awhile and they would go away. I even took an hour nap. Around 4:00 I had a couple of contractions that were a little closer together. So I thought I should check with my doctor and see what he wanted me to do. They told me to lay on the couch, drink water and if the contractions got stronger and closer together to come in. I laid down on the couch, Chaun decided to run to Target (he was a little nervous about going but decided to get gas and run to Target quick). I was sure I would be fine until tomorrow (Tuesday). I had a really strong contraction and then felt a pop and water came pouring out of me. The doctor had told me "You'll know if your water breaks. You'll flood the room." He wasn't joking. It just kept pouring out of me. We called Chaun and he came flying back home (thankfully he hadn't gotten too far, he only ran one red light). In the meantime water was still pouring out of me. It was crazy. We called the doctor to let them know we were coming and took off. (My parents had pulled into town an hour before my water broke so they stayed home with our kids-another neat thing God did for us). I wasn't really packed so we left with nothing. We were both pretty nervous. I wasn't sure how serious it was and was worried about the cord coming out. When we got to the hospital they were looking for us. They checked me...the cord was still in but the baby was still sideways. So they said they could not turn the baby now so I would have to have c-section. In just a short amount of time I was headed back to surgery. At 5:57 they pulled the baby out of my belly and announced we had a girl. Eleanor Mae was born and everyone was healthy. We named her Eleanor Mae after my dad's mom. I never met her but I've been told she was a wonderful lady. We are once again overwhelmed by God's mercy to us. He gave us a beautiful healthy girl.
We are thankful to Him and praise Him for this new precious life.

It's a ...

GIRL!!!!!

Here Comes Baby #3

Week 39...The doctors verdict is in.
The baby is now sideways (head to the right, feet to the left).
So, on Tuesday (August 31st) they are going to try to turn the baby and induce me. I am assuming if that doesn't work they will do a c-section. So we are praying this little baby turns and all goes smoothly. No matter what we should be holding our sweet baby on Tuesday, so be watching the blog for the news!!

Count down to Baby #3

Here I am at about 36 weeks. I am now at 38 weeks so only two weeks until the big due date.
Last week they told me the baby's head was down and everything looked great. This week it all changed and now the baby is breech. So we will see what the plan is at my next Drs. appointment. Right now we are hoping this baby flips around to avoid a C-Section. I was told there was plenty of fluid for it to move so hopefully we have an acrobat on our hands. They have also talked about inducing me at 39 weeks if the head is down, but I have to be making some progress and right now I am not making any. One doctor told me this baby wouldn't be born until Christmas at the rate I am going. So, we patiently wait for the doctors or the baby to decide it's time.

More Baseball

Katelyn and I just hang out in the dug out, well actually Kate is taking a break.
She thinks it's pretty fun to plan in the dirt.

Here he is the "hitter guy." Check out his cute little batting gloves.
He thinks he's big stuff with these on.

I have a feeling our days at the diamond have just begun. Jonathan LOVES to go play at the real diamond with bases. Here he is the "thrower guy" as he likes to call it. I think dad is pretty happy with his form for a three year old.

Making S'Mores

Here's how you'll find me most of the time...I am tired!!!
We are anxious for baby #3 to come!!
That night Kate joined me.

Can you tell he thought it was fun and delicious?

Jonathan enjoyed the treat...

Not a great picture of Katelyn, but she thought the graham crackers were great!

Feeling rather large but enjoying the treat!

One night we decided to go to the park and grill. However when we got to the park all the grills were being used AND we forgot the lighter fluid and matches. It was getting late so we went home and grilled on our own little grill. For a little treat we decided to make S'Mores on the grill. YUMMY!
