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 ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
