I knew Jaedyn was always fussy but as I was looking at the pics I took I realized she's always fussy...My wonderful dad went and bought some Gripe Water..I hope it works
Jaedyn's first bath...I think she was just shocked by everything because since then she's had 2 more baths and she just sits their as happy as can be...
Jaedyn getting her nails done...Can't wait to get her ears pierced :)
My Beautiful Baby!!!
Saturday, Jan 9 2010 I was due to have my baby, and I wasn't having any promising contractions, so we decided to go an hour south to Mound City to hang out with the fam. Throughout the day I had some contractions but nothing regular but when 10pm came around I was having hard contractions 9 min apart all night long. I got no sleep, we stayed home from church because I was miserable from the 9 min apart contractions. By 8pm I couldn't take it anymore it only went from 9 min apart to 8 min apart. We got to the hospital and I was only 2.5 centimeters so they watched me for several hours and I eventually got to a 4 they decided to keep me and said we're going to have a baby! Wa Hoo!! Finally, I thought. They eventually gave me an epidurl but I was still feeling the contractions when they couldn't figure out why, they called the anesthesiaologist and he came and looked at the epidurl and said it had fallen out. They had to give me another one. Finally at 5:30 my water broke, and at 6:30 I was only a 5. I thought I'm never going to have this baby. The next time they checked me it was 8am and I was a 10. I only needed my water to break.
I started pushing at 10am and the process was taking forever. No matter how hard I pushed she didn't want to come out. They could only see a tiny bit of hair. By 12:30 I recieved a blessing and literally the next push they had to call the Dr. in since it was only Luther and the nurse in the room at the time. She was really coming and in 12 min going from nothing but a few strands of hair to a whole entire baby she was out. It was such a miracle!
At 12:42, BABY JAEDYN WAS HERE!!! 7lbs and 13 oz and 19 inches long
She's BEAUTIFUL and I LOVE HER.. Luther is an incredible dad and I really couldn't ask for anybody else to Father my daughter. He is so much in love with her and is such a big help. We then changed rooms and got to spend every bit of time with her! We came home on Wed and spent a lot of time with her. She doesn't sleep much at night but that's ok, I can't wait to do so many things with her! I love my family so much!!
This was a crazy week...I cleaned, baked, and had 3 Christmas'. One with Luther (Christmas Eve Eve, One with my family (Christmas Eve), and one with Luther's family (Christmas Day).
My mom and sister's came over and we baked a lot of goodies, I wanted to have them for our family to snack on. We made oreo balls, recess balls, sugar cookies, no bake cookies, chocolate chip cookies, white chocolate dipped pretzels, and cinnamon popcorn. It took us 2 days to get it all done...
Luther and I celebrated our Christmas on Christmas Eve Eve. Since it was our first Christmas together we wanted to be able to spend it alone. So we had pork chops for dinner and opened presents and watched a movie. Luther got really excited because he got a BB gun..It was a lot of fun to see how excited he was to get it, it reminded me of a little kid getting there dream present. But I really liked seeing him so excited about something little.
I also had a Drs. apt and in a matter of 5 days I went from 30% e-faced to 80% e-faced and not being dialated to being dialated to a 2...Hopefully Jaedyn is going to be here soon

On Christmas Eve, we went to my family's house and we decorated gingerbread houses, played games, ate, and visited. We weren't there very long because of the huge winter storm...
Christmas Day, was very busy but still a lot of fun. We cooked a lot for dinner but we played games and visited. I'd have to say there was one particular event that will be unforgettable in my mind. We had a mouse in the kitchen while I was cooking and when I realized it, I wouldn't go back in considering I saw it 2x in a matter of 5 min. So Luther and Patrick decided to pull out the BB gun and they were shooting at it for about 45 min. This mouse was very brave, because it kept coming out even though there were lots of BB's flying at him. They eventually killed it.
Our First Christmas was a nice Christmas and I can say that it was worth all the prep.
Today, we went to get Maternity Pictures done. It was a lot of fun taking pictures and having Luther there taking them with me, and they turned out so good. They will be so fun to scrapbook. I can't believe we only have 3 more weeks left, although, I'm hoping that she comes sooner. Maybe this week preparing for Christmas will help get her here sooner. Reality hasn't quite kicked in yet, I know she's coming and getting the house ready to have a baby...baby bassinets, finishing the room, getting her clothes all washed and hung up, and even the Braxton Hicks Contractions. I know she's coming but when is it going to feel real to have a baby. I'm very excited for her to be born and enter the world and come into our family, everything will be so worth it when she's here.
