Who did we welcome home TODAY????

I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming!
I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins!
So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over again around 5pm. And that, my friends is when the contractions begin! They started out inconsistently and by 6pm I thought this could be it. Our neighbors come over to join us for some conversation and dinner, and aroun 6:30pm I'm thinkin', I don't think this is a joke anymore. By 7:15, after Tom's best efforts to get the ribs on the table for us to eat before we go in (did I mention I was totally not hungry throughout this whole process...poor guy), we explain to our neighbors who encourage us to go to the hospital and that they'll stay until Tom's mom get's there, that they can eat, here's the kids stuff for bedtime and we'll give you a call as soon as we know anything...and thanks a ton.
So let's just say, we get there aroun 8:20pm, I've already called my mom and sister and told them it's the real deal and get your butts in there, and I had my baby (which Tom pulled out w/ assisstance from midwife and yes, mine was there that night "thank you God") at 10:52pm and Tom said "It's a Girl!!!!!!!!!!!"
So she's here she's perfect and I am so in love and feelin' pretty good!! Thank you all for your support and sorry for the suspense!!!!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...
