Tayson's Blessing

His birth story...

I'm sure no one reads this anymore since I never post!! So this is for my "journaling" of his birth before the details are all a blur! I started having contractions about 3-7 minutes apart at 30 weeks. And they never really stopped. I wasn't dilating after they stopped my labor the first time it happened so I just had to be checked once a week and go into labor and delivery at any slightest change or additional sign of labor. That got old!! Also, as he got bigger, he was sitting on a nerve, so I was in extreme pain in my lower back, and down the inside of my thigh. It got to the point I really couldn't do much of anything without crying. At about 35 weeks I started going into my Dr. every other day. He was concerned for me since I was so miserable he wanted to keep checking on me, and having me hear my babies heartbeat to be reassured that everything was ok and it was going to be worth all of the pain. He really did not want to do a c-section before 37 weeks, understandably since a premature baby is not a good thing. So as I got closer to 37 weeks, and more miserable we decided it was time to get this little guy out. I went for my appointment on Monday, and he said he could tell I was done, and he could do the c section wednesday. Hallelujah!!! I went straight to the hospital to register and check in for surgery. Then, on Tuesday night I had an amnio to make sure his lungs were really developed enough. The results came back at about 10:30 that night that he was good and they told me to be back at 5am for a c section!! Yay, you can bet i got NO sleep that night, but it was ok :). So we went in in the morning, they got me all prepped for surgery and I went to the OR at 7am. As soon as the spinal started to take effect I breathed a sigh of relief that I was finally out of the pain. The surgery went perfect, and he was born at 7:25 and so absolutley perfect!! As soon as he was born he was crying and screaming, it was the best sound I have ever heard (besides Kaelors first cries of course!) I was crying happy tears at the sound of it, and I guess my crying made my oxygen levels drop drastically. It kind of freaked the anesthesiologist out, but I was crying too much to tell him that was probably why. They eventually figured it out! I got to hold him and see him for a few minutes before they took him back to clean him. I didn't get to see Kaelor for 10 hours after he was born so it was awesome to be able to see Tayson. Jeramy went back with them to bathe him. I got all sewed up and went back to my room. Brenda was there waiting, and they brought Tayson in shortly. Everything went so perfect, and he is such a good baby. We named him Tayson Joel. Joel after my mom -Joleen. I had several dreams right before I got pregnant with him that really made me feel like my mom had a little bit of a hand in getting him here. We are all so in love with him and can't wait to watch him grow!

He is finally here!! He was born March 30, 7:25 am. He was 6lb 6oz and 18 1/2 inches long and so perfect!! We struggled for 4 years to finally get this little guy here, and hearing his first cries were worth all of the pain and suffering!!! I am so in love with this little guy!

This was on our way to the hospital to have my c-section. I was soo done being pregnant.

I love this picture, it really is worth a thousand words. We were both so happy to be holding him finally!!

Update

I haven't posted in forever, and I seriously doubt anyone even looks at this blog anymore because of it! But, a lot has happened in the last little while that I thought I'd share!
First, I havent even posted to announce our upcoming arrival! Everyone I'm sure knows, since I''m 7 1/2 months along... We are expecting a little boy in April and couldn't be happier! We are naming him Tayson Joel. The middle name is after my mom Joleen. We have had some experiences that have really made us think she has had a little bit of a hand in this! After 3 years of trying, many tests, fertility treatments, and miscarriages we finally gave up, and what do ya know, that was the magic trick!
The other night I went into labor and delivery, thinking my water had broke, or was leaking. This happened with Kaelor, so i was worried it was happening again. While they were waiting for the test results they had me hooked up to the monitors to make sure nothing else was happening. Well, I didn't even no it, but I was having regular, growing contractions pretty close together. So, they gave me some medicine to try and stop it. But, that just made it worse! They checked me, said I was 100% effaced, but not dilated at all. They called my dr, and came back with steroid shots to help the baby's lungs if he was to be born early, and terbutaline shots. The only way to describe them is HELL! They give them every 20 minutes to stop labor, I had them a lot with Kaelor so I knew what to expect. They finally got the contractions to stop, but by that time I had dilated to a 1. So, they kept me overnight to make sure that it was really under control. They sent me home yesterday morning, on the nasty terbutaline medicine, and modified bedrest. I am only 30 weeks so it is waaay to early for this little guy to come! I have been struggling with the thought of most likely having another preemie baby, it is so hard!!! I just need to remember that I'm finally getting a baby and just need to be happy for that!
Well now that I've wrote a novel, that is what's going on around here for now! No pictures, because I don't want to get up to get my camera and spark more contractions.

I miss these...

I miss Kaelor being small, sweet, and innocent, and I miss my mom. Someday I will invent a time machine....

I'm such a slacker!!!!

I haven't posted anything in forever!!! I have a really good excuse though... I have been working my butt off to become a licensed Realtor! I have always been interested in real estate, and almost got into it right out of high school. I chickened out and did other things with my life. About a week after my mom's funeral, this job kind of fell in my lap at Century 21. I took it, thinking that it would be temporary until I finished paying for the funeral. Well, I completely fell in love with it, and here I am, forever! Anyways, I have been an office manager there for a little over a year, and they really needed me to get licensed. I was excited about that, because I know this is what I want to do with my life! I had to be completely licensed by the end of March, or else it was going to cost more, and I'd have to have twice as many classtime hours. So, I busted my butt, and got licensed in time!

We took our annual trip to Valley of Fire a few weekends ago with my dad, and brother and sister. It was SO COLD!! We usually go in February, and it has never been this cold. Jeramy and I left Kaelor for a day with my dad and went into Vegas so I could take my test. We didn't take many pictures because it was so cold and windy we were focused on keeping everyone warm!

We had this bighorn sheep come through our camp and then just lay down in the rocks behind us, it was fun to see!

Kaelor either preparing to run, or dancing, I'm not sure which.... crazy kid!

Kaelor and I hiking. How can you not be happy in that place? It's so pretty!

Life...

So, I have been way too busy to get any pictures recently. I really need to work on that, someday I will regret it! For now, here is a little update...
Big news, we bought a house!! We have been living in it for awhile. I posted the pictures when we first moved in. We were just renting it at first, until we could buy it. That's the awesome thing about working in a real estate office, I can make things like that happen. We wouldn't have been able to buy for years if it wasn't for the help of my AWESOME boss! Anyways, we closed on it yesterday, and are SO SO SO happy!!!
Kaelor has decided this week he is definitely ready to be potty trained, and I am so happy for that! He is getting cuter and cuter every day. Today he was trying to learn how to say "avocado" -hilarious! He has the cutest little personality, and loves to take care of his mom. I love having a boy! (And a husband that teaches our son to be so good to me!)
Still no baby news. It's been 2 1/2 years since we started trying again. I think real soon, I'm just throwing my hands in the air and be glad for the one I have.
I'll work on taking more pictures to make my next post more exciting!

Halloween!

One of Kaelor's favorite things right now is music, especially rockin out on his guitar. So, for Halloween we thought it would be perfect to dress him up as a rockstar! Jeramy and I weren't going to dress up, until last minute we got invited to a neighborhood party. So, Jeramy and Kaelor went as KISS, and I was their groupie! I thought it turned out ok for a very last minute, hurry and dress up kind of thing! Kaelor hated me painting his face, so it doesn't look very good. He was so tired and grouchy that we didn't go to very many houses. But, he had fun anyways!

I'm still Alive!

Nope, I haven't died!! I'm just working tons. I am way too busy in the evenings to blog. I will try to update it more frequently, and add some pictures of my cute but VERY destructive little boy! Anyways, here are some random pictures from summer. I can't believe its over already... sad
