Not too good at this blog thing

2010-08-22T15:48:00.002-06:00

I know I have a blog and I tell people I have one but REALLY it is not updated enough to count. We have been through a lot in the last 16 months, in short. Makayla turned 12 and will be starting 7th grade in the new Middle School. Haley is 9 and will be starting 4th grade this week. She is excited about her teacher as Makayla had the same 4th grade teacher. Brianna is going to be 3 this fall but she THINKS she is the oldest and wisest of us all. Kelly is working hard and long hours and we love everything he does for us. I am PTA Prez elect this year at the Elementary school. I will be spending all my days there helping PTA and in Haleys class.

Today just eight years ago I was laying in the hospital room waiting to be induced with a little girl. Just 2 days before her due date we had to induce for 2 reasons, 1. we were unemployed and losing insurance on March 31 and 2. I was showing signs of toxemia during the last trimester and we waited as long as we could.
Kelly and I arried at the hospital in Provo, Utah at 630am. Our wonderful neighbor and my visiting teacher was able to be my baby nurse. Thanks Kathy! By time we got all checked in and were able to start the pit it wa already 730am and I was 90% and at 4cm. The Dr had arrived to break my water about 10 minutes later. I usually do not feel any labor until my water breaks which I am very thankful for especially if I can get the epideral before that! :)
Just after 9am the nurse came in and asked me if I care if some BYU med students watched he delivery as they had to watch X amount that day. At that point I really did not care WHO was there. Everything was going super until we lost the babies heart rate. Kathy came running in and said IT IS TIME!!! The bad part is we had just been checked and I was at 6cm so we did another dose of Eperidal and I was feeling so sick. I could not feel anything when it was time to push. Thank you to the BYU student that was there to push on the baby when it was time to push. In just a few short minutes Haley Elizabeth was born at 9:51am. Her oxygen level was a little low so the nurses took her off to NICU and Kelly followed. I spent a few minutes calling grandparents and siblings. No one was expecting a call just a few hours after being admitted but what really shocked them was that it was ME that called and did not even sound tired!! I LOVE THE EPIDERAL!!
I love you Haley Elizabeth!!! You are my "BUG"!!!

It was 11 years ago today that I thought I had the flu. I had made it to my due date and even added 2 days while waiting for this little baby. We did not know her gender but I knew it was a little girl! Kelly went to work with me laying in bed with the "flu". I called the Dr when they opened and she told me to go ahead to the hospital and get checked to make sure. I mentioned that I have no contractions just sick. Kelly came home after a few hours of work and we went to the hospital. Not showing any signs of labor I was asked if I had the flu, and I told her yes but the Dr wanted me to come anyway. They checked me and I was dialated to a 4+ and contractions were just a minute and a half apart. I felt nothing other then sickness! I was checked into the hospital and 6 hours later we began the pushing process. Makayla ended up breaking my tailbone and the epidural was not helping with that pain! It was 20 minutes into the pushing that I was told only 30 more minutes and she would be here. I said, NO NOW! Makayla Dawn was born just 1 minute later! No one was ready for her except myself. The Dr ran to Sharon (Kelly's Sister) to have her take the Dr watch off and buzzing for the baby nurses to get there stat. She made a memorable moment coming into the world and had not changed that at all in the past 11 years. She is a super daughter and a great big sister. I love her so much. She is the one that made me a mother!

Updating

2009-01-04T13:39:00.003-07:00

I told my dear friends that I would update more often then once a year, so I changed the background and colors. JOB DONE!!
Actually I am going to be better at this in 2009. First I would like to say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We have been busy this holiday break with the Davison 1st Christmas Party. This was the first time in 19 years that my brother, sister and I were all together with mom and dad for Christmas. We were all there except for Kelly who had to work. Poor guy even had to work and work late on his birthday which may have been the first for that.
New Years Eve we were all in bed by 10pm. I have noticed when you have kids that are not night owls you arent much of one either.
Makayla was able to take a small vacation with Kellys parents to Las Vegas for a few days. She will be returning home tomorrow and missing the first day back to school. This week is filled with dentist appointments and a birthday.

We are beginning to sleep better. We have made it to 5 hours a few times. On average we are sleeping about 4. Getting up so much and trying to survive on little sleep is why I think this is why the babies comes so darn cute. She is a really good baby for the most part. She loves to shop. When I mention shopping she usually gives me a big smile. A girl after my own heart.
Makayla is going to get a thumb crib put in tomorrow in preparation for braces. We just need to get a few more teeth in as she is just 3 teeth away from having all her permanent teeth. She is getting to big. I still can't believe she will be 10 in just a few weeks.
Haley loves being a big sister. I can talk her into about anything if I say that she can hold Brianna when she is done. Haley will even volunteer to change her diaper. Most the time she is helpful, other times TOO helpful for a 6 year old.
