Baby Update 4

SHE IS HERE!!!! McKinlee Mae Smith arrived at 11:44 p.m. August 12, 2009. She is so so so cute. So here is the story.

SOME PICTURES MAY BE GRAPHIC!!!!!!!!

I was so worried to go back to the hospital when my contractions started coming harder on wednesday. I didn't want to be sent home again. So I waited until almost every contractions brought a few tears to my eyes, and Kristi and Mom said I had to go. So off we go to the hospital. We call Blake and tell hi to stay at work until we absolutely knew what was going on. They end up letting me stay. (Finally the time is here). Contractions are pretty strong but not as bad as what was coming. So I am doing rally good and they decide to let me go and sit in the Jacuzzi, which is fine by me. I love the Jacuzzi, it relaxes me and I feel so much better. 1 hour later I get out and go back to my room. Well contractions are coming harder and harder and more painful. So they give me some pain medication that gives me a little relief, but not a lot. Finally 6:00 p.m. rolls around and Dr. Dahle (who is on call) comes in to check on me and he tells me that I am just a little over 2 cm. AAAAHHHH!!!!!!! so he helps me along to a 4 and then breaks my water. 3.5 hours later I can finally have an intrathecal. YEAH!!!! No more pain. So I finally get some sleep and relax for a while and then 1.5 hours later, it starts wearing off. WHAT!!!! This is supposed to last 2-5 hours. So they come in to check me and I am so scared that this was going to be like Kennidi. But no!!! The nurse tells me I am complete. WHAT!!!! Whoo hoo, I dilated from a 4 to a 10 in an hour and a half and Dr. Goddard is on the way. I get to start pushing. I start pushing at 11:25 and at 11:44 she makes her appearance. It's over. And she is beautiful. Here are the pictures from beginning to end.

Baby Update 3

Well, yesterday afternoon I startedto have contractions aroun 3:30 pm that were 2 1/2 to 3 minutes apart and about 1 minute long. So we let those continue for a while and then at 7:30 pm, when I had a few contractions bring tears to my eyes, we decided to go to the hospital. We get there they hook me up, check me, I am still having strong conractions, and I am still at 2cm. So they decide to wait until 10:00 and check me again for any changes. 10:00 finally rolls around, they check me and nothing. So needless to say I am at home writing this update. This is so frusteration. I just want to have this baby. As of right now I am still have very close contractions, but not "strong" enough for the hospital. I am now on a little bed rest sort of thing, not super heavy, they just said to take it easy and not do to much. So I am headed to my Mom's so that she can take care of Kennidi and I can lay down. See you at the next update. Hopefully there will be a picture of a baby attached to it. But who knows.

Baby Update 2

Well, this morning, Allison and I went walking and about half way through the walk I felt a little "moisture" thinking it was nothing. I get home, and it wasn't nothing. So we called the Dr. and he told us to get to the hospital and get checked out. WEll I was there for about 45 min. and had only one contraction an it wasn't my water breaking. So they sent me home. Now I am having contractions about every 45 min to an hour. So the contractions are not close but they are there. Hopefully it will be soon. We'll keep you updated.

Baby update

Just a quick little update. I went to the Dr. yesterday and I was already two cm dialated. So this baby is coming soon. Woo hoo. The Dr. said I will probable be early. I was very excited about this 2 cm. because with Kennidi it took me 12 hours to get this far. I think this time my body is going, "Oh yeah, I remember this I can do it better this time." I sure hope so.

Ivey Family Reunion 2009

So we had a family reunion this last weekend. We first met Friday night at Aunt Di's house and we had dinner and played a few games. The next day (Which the pictures are from). We were able to rent a park at Lake Wildwood and we played in the water all day. Also that day some of us went down to Roseville for a cousins baptism. The ext day we went to church and their Jeremy and Becca blessed their little girl Karlyn. It was so nice that all of my family was able to come. Ashley came in from Georgia and Jeremy and Becca came in from Idaho. We had a very fun time with all of our brothers and sisters, our kids and all of our cousins. It was a great family reunion. When I have more pictures from other days I post them. But for now this is what I have.
