Deklins Baby Blessing

Hanging out and decorating!

First week home.

Emotional and exhausted.. the first week was really hard for me as i explained in the previous post. But we got through and and time flew by. Looking back now it went to fast!! I got better and we settled into our home. Thank goodness for awesome family who helped move us! Cuz i was in bed the whole time lol. so here is the move!! lets just say I'm glad its over and will never be moving the week we bring a baby home from the hospital. :)

Bring home Baby Deklin!

Gavin fell and hit his head the day we gont home. :( so sad.

Weighing 6 pounds 8 ounces, born aug 16th 2010 little Deklin Grady Bird came home with us 2 days later !!.. only that next week we would be moving.. yikes!!! not the plan at all. While i was in the last 2 months of pregnancy, uncomfortable and getting over placenta previa (the placenta lies at the bottom of your uterus and u or the baby can hemridge and possibly die if you go into labor) But it did move up and the end of the pregnancy went really good. Anyway we were looking at buying a bigger house just down the street.. very stressful process. Things went through the day we got home with deklin, and we had are house out for rent the next day! lucky us. So much to tell!! my mind is going crazy wanting to blog all the details. I nursed for almost 1 week and started to have serious pain and damage. I really wanted to nurse, cuz i only did for a couple weeks with gavin and i knew i could do more. But the damage was looking so bad. I went into the lactation consultant to help me and turns out i had yeast infection in both breats and mastitis! awesome. lol It was so sad though, i lost both my nipples and i guess the damage was a stage 4. (worste you can have!). She said i might not be be able to try nursing again because of the damage :( even with my next baby. But after all that i dont know if i even would want to. So 1st day moving into out new house i was up in bed sick sleeping with my precious new born while all the fam and my amazing hubby moved us into the new house. Talk about stressful and emotional but we got through it and a week later (and lots of meds) i was feeling alot better. And Baby D was taking formula from a bottle :)

ps. My family made it for the delivery scence i was in labor for 3 days! yay! lol My sister steph got to be in for the delivery. Such a special time. :)

Long time no see

before our little boy got here my family did! yay!! just in time. i started pushing 2 hours later.

Family of 3! soon to be 4! such a long 2 1/2 days of intense contraction then finally an epidural!

Then he came!!!

Wow one year! Im going to try to add little blogs here and there to fill my blog in on the last amazing year! Starting with this adorable addition to our family Aug 16th 2010. Deklin Grady Bird. We are in love with this little sweetheart!

The labor was long... 3 days long.. 34 hours long. . but all worth it. He kept moving out of position, so i was in and out of intense labor for a while. They would give me and epidural because i need to be able to move around to get his head in the right spot. ..... more later lol.. shows how much time i have to blog.. here is one pic of all of us. the new four.(up top!) love my boys!

Deklin is here!

Baby Deklin Grady Bird
How close do you think!? Im thinking for sure brothers.. but there own different look. i love them so much!..

funny? nope not funny!

K so really? when your prego people say the silliest things. And not just in there head. (and no its not silly, im just being nice lol) So there has been a few incidences where im liek.. "um who are you to say that to me about my body?"

I was in the grocery store, and a random guy was like. "wow how much longer do you have?" im like... 4 weeks.. he is all "oh!". Yes im huge and i know that, but thinking it yourself and hearing it from other people is totally different. I'm obviously not upset about it, but i would be lying if i didn't say i thought it was RUDE!

So then I'm at my doc app yesterday and this other random lady sitting in the hall, says "you look like your ready to blow up!" ... um excuse me. lol so i think im about done with ppl commenting on how large my tummy is. Just tell me I'm the cutest ever and be on your way. ha. thanks! :)

WE are still waiting to here if we are approved for our home. We may hear today, so hopefully!

I need to start packing before baby #2 arrives. Speeking of which... i only have 3 weeks left!! does anyone start trying to induce labor with 3 weeks left.. cuz im tempted.. very tempted. I only gained 1 pound at my app. i am thinning a lot but havn't dialated more. Looks like another week at least. I'm hangin in there! The nights are what's getting to me, ive been very noucious every time i turn over.. or try to. and my pain in my legs is increasing quite a bit actually. SO being tired doesn't sit well with me. But not much longer and I'm just taking in that gavin isn't going to be the only little man in my life anymore! Is it weird to feel so sad over that? I am very excited too but still.. Where will i put all the pictures from this baby. Gavins pics take up every inch of wall space i have! lol I'm sure i'll figure it out ;). Just is so weird having all these mixed emotions. well until next post.. wish on a star* my baby come next week and that we get the house!
