Milk Pits

So I'm not very good at covering up while breast feeding and with little boys in the house I really should be more modest. Brekken has been very curious about what I am doing and why I ask him to go away for a little bit while Bryce has some alone time with mom. One morning he woke up and came into the our bedroom while I was nursing. He hopped right onto the bed and was just so curious. This is our conversation...

Brekk: Mom what are you doing?
Me: I'm feeding baby Bryce
Brekk: Your feeding him out of there?
Me: Yes he eats from mommy, thats how he gets his milk.
Brekk: Mom I have milk pits too, see (he lifts up his shirt and points to his nipples), I have milk too, to feed the baby.

I had to look away so I wouldn't laugh. Seriously I need to be more discrete.

Hospital stay and Jaundice

I have been wanting to post about our stay at the hospital and now have a little time to do so. We got to the hospital at 6:15 a.m. on Friday and they started the pitosin at 8 a.m. I really didn't want to get induced but decided I shouldn't wait any longer if I wanted help from Sharon. The pitosin started working about 20 minutes later. At 9 am Dr Dziko broke my water after which I was 3 cm. At about 11 am I was at 7 cm and stayed that way until this guy finally turned and I was ready to push. The nurse kept saying as soon as this little s**t turns you will feel a lot more pain and pressure and you will be ready to push. No joke. My nurse was really feisty and used a lot of swear words. I was so much in my zone that it really didn't bother me. The pain was manageable until the last 2 hours of labor. That's when it got hard and I was howling like a dog. Seriously! I was saying ouch and it would turn into aaaawoooow like a dog would sound howling. Burr told me after, that he had to look away so he wouldn't laugh. Oh well it got me through the pain. Bryce finally turned after I laid on my stomach and pulled my right knee up to my chest. When he decided to turn I felt the urge to push immediately. Unfortunately I had to wait for Dr Dziko to get to the hospital. I had to fight the urge to push and wait the horrendous 7 minutes until she got there. My nurse kept telling me to turn onto my back but I couldn't move, I was sure he was going to come out if I did. As soon as she walked in the door I turned on my back and started pushing. She had about 2 seconds to get her gloves on. Two pushes later and our beautiful baby boy came into the world. It was amazing! All the pain and pressure was suddenly gone.



This was my favorite thing hands down about my stay in the hospital. A heated toilet seat with a beday. All you ladies that have given birth will understand.


We got to sleep at home for one night then in was back to the hospital because Bryce's belirubin levels were to high. Here he is tanning under the lights

We were very blessed and got to go home the next day. He did great!

Bryce is here !!!

He is here after being a stubborn baby and not wanting to come out he finally shifted into to the right position and he came out with only a few pushes. Jenn did awesome she was so great, she did how she wanted to with out epi. she was in a lot of pain but she pushed and did a very good job. It was amazing, we love the little guy so much and our grateful for heavenly father to send him to our family. He is 8 pounds and 1 ounce, and 21 inches long. Jenn says he looks like a Brimhall.

Update

Jenn just got checked and is now at a 7. The contractions are stronger now and she is starting to feel more pain. But she says it is not that bad. She is not getting a epi, this time what a tropper, more update to come.

# 3 IS ON HIS WAY !!

We are in the hospital, we arrived at 6:15 am central time. Last time they checked Jenn was 3 and making progress. she is on pitocin, they have broke her water. Right now she is on a birthing ball bouncing around trying and get this baby out. I got off the train at about 1 am I came back from Creston Iowa, so im a little tired. Im really excited to see our new baby boy. I will keep posting blog updates all day long and give updates on what is going on. # 3 in is on his way.

Baby news

So my due date was today and no baby. I had an appointment today. The babies head is down but not engaged. The few contractions that I have had have not done a darn thing. My Aunt Sharon (not really related but is my moms good friend and we love her like family) got here on Tuesday to help and we can't wait for this baby any longer. I need to take advantage of Sharon while she is here. So here is the deal, We are going to the hospital at 6 am to get induced. I sooooo didn't want this to happen again but i am convinced that my body doesn't know how to go into labor on it's own. So hopefully by tomorrow afternoon we will have our new baby boy. I'll let you all know. Wish us luck!
