Water Babies

Hospitalized!!

I had such a good experience delivering Oliver, well the second time I
attempting delivering Oliver I should say. Round 1: It all started out
on April 1st at about 10:30a.m. the contractions decided to make
themselves known. We headed to the hospital late that afternoon. The
maternity ward was so packed that the only place they had for me was in
the hallway,that's right ladies the hallway right in front of a huge window for all to see, but it didn't matter anyways because after some hard laboring and a few hours of walking the halls they sent me home due to the fact that I was not
progressing fast enough for them and because of how pact they were they
didn't mind sending me home. So they through a heavy duty pain pill at me and sent me on my way. Round 2: April 2nd we made a second attempt to the hospital around 3:30p.m. However this time around we were feeling a wee bit spoiled we got a huge private birthing room with the Jacuzzi tub and two fabulous nurses one of which
January and I titled as the "super nurse". However the best part of all
was getting the news that I was dilated to a four. "Hooray I get to stay, and I'm
NOT leaving until I have a little bundle in my arms." After 37hrs. of
hard labor and delivery our precious little spirit entered our arms. I couldn't have been more ecstatic. A special thanks to my wonderful husband for baring with a ol grouch for 37hrs. and to my Mom and January for enduring such a long process and sticking by me the whole time. Here are a few more picks of us at the hospital.

Slacker!!

I have decided to take the time and apologize for how awful I have been about keeping my blog updated. I don't know what is wrong with me. I'm
guessing that maybe it has to do with how far I am in my pregnancy and
for some reason have decided to slip into my lazy pants. For instance,
here I am sitting at my computer taking the TIME to write a new post
but you see my camera is in my truck in the garage and I happen to be
upstairs, (I am sure you know were this is headed). So to sum up, I
have not themotivation nor the energy to drag my prego body downstairs then down another flight of stairs to the garage then back up the flight of garage stairs and again
back up the other flight of stairs to the family/playroom to plug my
camera in sit down, upload my pictures and decide what I want to post,
and finallypass out. FEWWWW that was exhausting just talking about it.
So please bare with me I am sure I will get a second wind and fill my
blog with all kinds of wonderful posts for all of you to enjoy. Thank
you all for your comments they truly make my day. Love to all!!

Take Two!

In August Andrew and I found out we were expecting twister #2 in April. Of course we were excited being as in how we had lost one in January of that same year. Having children is alot of work but worth every moment, Even though sometimes we say to ourselves "Why,Why,Why!". There is truly no greater acomplishment than not only baring children but raising them as well. Triston was the best baby. You hardly new he was even around, very rarley did he make a peep. However the day came when he learned how to walk, Dun Dun Duuuuun!!!!! and ever since my hands have been full. He is such a good kid as I like to say but VERY BUSY. However when times get tough and I have convinced myself that I am about to loose my mind I think, He is a child of god and I was once a small child myself. You know sometimes I think we as adults forget how close to the veil all of these precious little spirits are. So after taking time to recap on those details I am reasured that all will be okay. So to get to the point without making a novel about it I am so grateful to be pregnant again and have another little boy to chase around and make memories. To our soon to be new arrival Oliver Joseph Burgess our arms are open and waiting for your joyful arrival, (just don't make it too painful if you can help it.)P.S. sorry for the awful picture quality.
