Happy Birth Day!

We would like to welcome to the world our newest addition Kayleigh Anne Bowman.

She came in with a small cry, weighing in at 9 lbs and 9 oz and 21 1/2 inches long.

They put me in the hospital at 6am yesterday and then started the pitocin drip at about 7am. The contractions were tolerable which surprised me. The thing is that my doctor didn't come and check me till almost 5pm. Which at that time I was only dilated about 5 cm. So 8 hours of being induced had brought me 2 cm farther than I was when I went in that morning. So when she checked me she also broke my water. That definitely sped up my labor cause by 6:14pm Kayleigh finally came. I just wish my dr. would have checked me earlier that morning and I wouldn't have had to sit all day long in the labor and delivery room. But that's all right cause she's here now and beautiful!

Happy Mothers Day!!

To all the moms out there, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! Hope that it is a great and relaxing day.

Still No Baby

Well, I was hoping that monday we would have a baby, but she was faking. We went to the hospital at 5am with contractions every 5-7 min and then once they started monitoring me they calmed down and then nothing. Pretty much the same thing Cole did to me. I guess they don't really like the hospital. But it was a good thing I didn't have the baby cause my doctor had an emergency and had to go out of town till Wed. I'd really like her to be the one to deliver Kayleigh and She would rather she be there also.

So now I'm just taking it easy. Hanging out and watching cartoons with the kids. Trying to do a little cleaning but don't really have the energy to do much. Nick and I took the kids to the park yesterday and that was fun. We stopped and got sonic for lunch and had a picnic and then let the kids run around the park for about an hour. Then it was naptime.

Today is going to be a lazy day. Nick is at work and also has his Paramedic Written Testing today from 1-3. So I'm not allowed to go into labor during that time, cause he's not allowed to have his phone with him. But I'm not too worried about that. Please Pray that he will pass this part of his test. After this he has one more part that he will have to take and he will finally be done after two years.

Tomorrow I go to a dr. appt. and maybe it'll be time, but I will let everyone know something. Until then , I'm still pregnant. :)

No More Work!

Yeah! Yesterday was my last day at work. I'm now on a three month maternity leave. Hopefully if everthing works out well, I'll be on a permanent leave.

I went to the Dr. on thursday and she said everything looks good, just still not quite ready. I guess she wants to just be comfortable. I'm trying to wait it out because I don't want to be induced with this one. I would really like to know what if feels like to actually go into labor and make Nick rush me to the hospital. Haha. I think he's more ready than I am. He said that if I haven't had Kayleigh by my dr.s appt next thurs he's going to tell her to put me in.

So since we got our new lawn mower Nick has decided to go all out and do lots of yard work. We actually have a decent yard. He mowed, then weedeated and all while I was at work. The kids had a blast being outside with daddy all day long. They were so filthy, but they loved it. Cole got a little used to riding the mower but freaked out when he lost his boot. Cadence just wants daddy to let her drive it all by herself, she thinks she's bigger than she actually is. Our camera battery was dead the other day so I couldn't get any pictures of them riding but I will next time.

Welcome US to the 21st Century

Well, we are finally dial up free!!!!!!!! Today we got high speed internet. It's wonderful. So now I can finally post at will and maybe even update pictures! We also bought a new lawn mower. It's a John Deere Riding mower and Nick is outside enjoying it. We actually have a yard, who knew it was there underneath 3 feet of grass.

So today I am 38 weeks pregnant. I'm getting more miserable by the day. I don't believe my belly can get any bigger, but it just seems to keep growing. We have the nursery ready, the bassinet/play yard is set up in our bedroom. We moved Cadence to the back seat of the van so we can put Kayleigh by Cole. Now all we need is Kayleigh to grace us with her presence. And it couldn't come any quicker. (can you tell I'm tired of being pregnant?) I'm still working though, but friday is my last day. Woohoo. Although I'm hoping to go into labor before then so I don't have to go in on friday.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to post some cute newborn pictures of our newest addition, but until then I'll be uncomfortably pregnant.
