Things kids do

Well I am going to post some of the the new things that the boys have been doing and saying.

One morning I was getting ready to put the boys in the tub. Trayton was sitting on the potty and I had Tavien on the floor in his diaper while I cleaned out the tub. Then I hear Trayton say ewwww and I look over and he was taking off Tavien's diaper and it had poo in it so he was telling me how gross it was.

Tavien smiled at me for the first time on Thursday it made me so happy that I cried.

Trayton wants to watch How to train your Dragon and Wall E all the time.

I had an appoiment for the boys on wedensday and Trayton was 32 lbs and 34 inches tall which put him in the 80th percentile for height and weight. Tavien weight 12lbs and 23 inches tall which put him in the 95th percentile for height and weight. Trayton was always in the 95th percentile when he was this age.

Delivery of Tavien

I finally have some down time to write the story of Tavien's birth. Well I was sure that he would come early like his brother did but he proved me wrong. I was in labor for a month with him we went to the hospital 3 time thinking that it was time. When I would get there they would hook me up and yes I was contracting really good every 2 to 3 min but nothing would happen. So I would get sent home. Well I had my 39 week appointment on Thursday and I was 2 cm and 80% effaced so I was for sure that I would go soon. Well Sunday morning I had noticed that I was moving from side to side a lot then it dawned on me that I might be in labor so I decided to time my pains and they were 6 min apart. It was hard for me to decide what to do cause I didn't want to go to the hospital just to be sent home again. So I got up and was just timing them and they started to get closer and a little stronger. I decided that we would need to get ready and we would go. I was in the bathroom doing my hair and I started to contract so I put one hand on the wall and one hand on my hip and started to breath. I look down and Trayton was standing in the hall doing exactly what I was doing breathing with his hand on his hip and one on the wall. It was so funny to see him do that. We packed all of our stuff in the car and I told Matt that we were going to walk around the block cause I was not going to get sent home again so we walked around the block to the neighbors house to drop off Trayton. I told Matt that we needed to get going cause they where getting stronger and closer. We got to the Hospital at about 10 am. They checked me and I was 4 cm and 85 % effaced. They decided that they would keep me so they were just waiting to get a room ready for me. Finally at about noon and me snapping at Matt to keep asking when I was going to get my room so that I could get in the tub because I have natural labor. They gave me a room and I got to get in the tub and it was nice and relaxing. I was laboring in the tub for a while and was getting very uncomfortable so I decided that I wanted to get out and be checked again so I new where I was at. It was about 1:45. The nurse checked me and I 7cm with a bulging bag. Matt informed the nurse that with Trayton when I was 7 cm they broke my water and he was out 15 min later. The nurse said that she would see where my midwife was at just in case. When the nurse left I told Matt that I was not to happy about my bag bulging cause sometimes when they break it you can contract backwards and I would not be to happy about that. The Nurse came back and said that she got a hold of the midwife and she should be there soon. When she got there I only had a little bit of my cervix left after another contraction I was fully dilated. Angie told me that the next contraction she was going to break my water. When my water was broke I had to push but they told me not to cause low and be hold I dilated backwards and was only 8 cm now. This is when I began to freak out cause they were strong and I would not breath very good. Then it would make his heart rate drop so they kept moving me all around to make it come back up. I was finally a 10 again so I could push I could not believe how hard it was this time around. I finally got his head out and his cord was around his neck so they cut it right away. Then they started yelling that he had shoulder dysplasia. Matt didn't know what to do so the nurse stepped in and grabbed my leg and they began pushing my legs back so hard and I have to say I was pushing back cause it really hurt. Then the two nurses started pushing really hard on my stomach to help him come out. Which made me scream even more cause it really hurt. Then he was out I have to say it was the best feeling of relief to have it out. I started to cry cause I new what shoulder dysplasia was and I knew that it could be really bad but all went well he started crying right away and they said that they didn't see anything major wrong with him. I was so happy they finished up with me and they gave him to me and I fell in love with him. Tavien James born August 14 at 2:55pm weighing 8lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long. We sure are happy that you are finally here these 3 weeks have been so great.
