Grayson Michael

My sweet baby was born on March 19,2013.

It was the best day of my life. 
I was due on March 17,2013
From week 20 I measured 3 weeks ahead of my due date. 
At my 38 week appointment we talked about induction because of my size so we had an ultrasound at week 39 to measure our peanut ( we did not find out the sex ahead of time). They guessed that peanut was 8lbs 5oz. My midwife agreed to start induction on Monday the 18th.
Off to the hospital we went at 4:00 pm where they admitted me and got me hooked up to the monitors and to my surprise I was contracting every 5-7 mins but was not dialated. They decided to hold off on cervadil and just start pitocin in the morning. They gave me a nice little pill to help me sleep and it was heaven!!!!
The next morning at 7:30 they started my iv of pitocin and kept upping the dose every half hour by noon I was on the highest dose having contractions every 3 mins ( but feeling hardly anything) and still NO dialating. The decision was made after monitoring the baby and seeing peanuts heart rate drop with each contraction that it was time for a c-section.

At 1pm I was being wheeled into the sterile room alone but at peace. I had the best team ever and once they gave me my spinal my rock my husband came into hold my hand. I heard them say wow this is a big baby ( my midwife had to put all her weight on my stomach to help push him out) 
And then the anesthesiologist pulled down the sheet and there they held up our son!!! I cried as I kissed Michael And then Demanded that he go with him. They finally brought him over to me and I got to kiss my precious baby boy. They took him away to clean and weigh him and it felt like ages until they called down to give me his measurements and I was floored
Grayson Michael weighed 10 pounds 4 ounces and was 21 inches long (see those ultrasounds can be off!!!)
He is our everything and I'm so in love

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
