LONG Update

Well I can't believe how long it's been since my last post but things have been pretty crazy around here.

To start off on February 20th, 2011 at 11:14am our beautiful little Keylee Marie was born. I had went to the doctor for a doctor appointment and was scheduled for an induction to be done on February the 22nd, but on Saturday the 20th my mom took methe hospital because things just weren't right. We started that night out at the er at st lukes with my brother becuase he thought he had alcohol poisoning and wasn't able to breath right so we rushed him to the er and then as soon as my mom walked in her house with him I was calling her asking her to come over and take me to the hospital just to make sure everything was ok. I had been leaking fluid all day and wasn't really sure if it was my water breaking or not so I just wanted to be sure. Well when we got there it wasn't my water that had been leaking but they checked me and I was 5cm dialiated and having contractions every 2 minutes apart so they decided to admit me. My poor mom was exhausted because since I wasn't prepared thinking it was going to be nothing she had to keep running back and forth to my house to get my vehicle and our bags and everything else and help me notify Chantz who was at work thinking we were going to just get a "dear it's false labor go on home". Chantz's mom and him stayed with me the whole night while I just "coasted" and then at 7 am they woke me up to tell me they were putting the edpidural in and the petocin in to get the baby out. I started telling people and they were in route thinking it was going to be a while like it was with Dalton however at 10:30 the nurse came in and said you're almost at 10 were getting ready to get the doctor in here and deliver your baby. I almost freaked because I couldn't believe I had jumped that fast with her and I really did not feel anything I wasn't sick, hurting, NOTHING. It was extrememly weird but I figured they knew what they were talking about. Sure enough at 11 Dr Reeves came in and said lets get the baby out. I pushed for maybe 6 or 7 minutes and she was out. I didn't throw up like last time or even break a sweat. My doctor says it was probably because she was WAY farther down and ready to come out so it was quicker for her but if that's the case I hope any other baby I ever deliver will be "that far down". Anyways she came out at 7lbs 6oz which is 2oz bigger than Dalton was and she was 19.25 inches long which was shorter than Dalton at 21 inches. I have to be honest as soon as she came out I had a guilty feeling like "where's Dalton" that was all I could think about was that if he didn't come in immediatley he would think I didn't want or love him anymore. It was a very emotional day as I was overwhelmed with joy and love for her but also so worried and upset about Dalton and that he still knew he was my little angel also and I didn't love him not one ounce less just because we had Keylee now too. The first couple of days were pretty much an emotional roller coaster. I was sad that Dalton was at home with other people and not with Chantz and I and Keylee at the hospital so I was definitely ready to get out of there and be at home with my family. Keylee's pediatrician told me he heard some fluid left over in her lungs since she came out so quickly and wasn't in the birth canal that long it didn't give it time to get pushed out which worried my completely being a mom. She also dropped all the way down to 6lbs 11oz which concerned the doctors so it was a little nerve racking just hearing all of these things. When we arrived at home things were pretty hard at first with the jealousy issues from Dalton of Keylee and the annoyance of not being able to go up the stairs in my house and being so uncomfortable from nursing her. When we took her to the doctor and found out she was gaining and healthy a huge relief lifted off of my shoulders and once Dalton started acting sweet and loving towards her all the weight was gone. I was able to enjoy my family being together and eating up every sweet second of Keylee being with us. I just also need to say that I really didn't think I was going to care if I had two boys and never had a girl UNTIL I had Keylee. I am SO happy she is a girl and am having so much fun dressing her up and putting matching bows in her hair and can't wait to take her to get her nails painted and watch her carry little purses and so much more!! We love you sweet baby girl and are so glad you are here with us and as healthy as can be after a VERY frightful nine months of pregnancy and premature labor with you.

Now with Dalton.....Dalton was so excited to have his baby sister come join us, at least that's what he thought lol. He would love putting his little head up to my belly and kiss my belly every single day but when she actually came he was confused. I was showing him how the ball in my belly was gone at the hospital and he just kept starting at her like what is my mom doing holding that baby. The way he said her name at first it sounded like he was calling her "kiwi" which was pretty funny. After about the first week he really turned around to where every morning when he came downstairs he would ask "where's kiwi" and go look in her bassinet to see if she was still sleeping in there. He starting giving her kisses, fed her some pumped milk and was even laying down on the floor next to her when she was getting her diaper changed. He is now to the point where he won't go anywhere without her and if he does he asks where she is the whole time. He always brings her her "paci" which is her pacifier and everytime she's crying in the car he will find her paci for her and give it to her. I love when he says "she just want her paci" whenever she cries. Lately when we're in the car and keylee starts crying he will get extremely mad at the car in front of us and SCREAM "move lady my baby's crying" or "go lady my baby's crying"...it just cracks me up that it's always a "lady" never a man lol. This is kind of embarassing but i want to remember this...Keylee had been sucking improperly on me when I was nursing her at first and so the "tips" became really red and Dalton was walking by one day when I was trying to latch her on and goes "mommy what's that" and I said ummmm what are you talking about completely embarassed and he goes "is that a strawberry" lol and I was like yup that's a strawberry trying not to laugh and so he'll always say "she's eating her strawberries" when he sees her nursing on me. Another funny thing he's been doing is there is this song called like a G6 and for some reason when it comes on in the car dalton sings "like a cheesestick" and it just cracks me up!! And another funny thing he's been saying is "i'm gonna kick nana"....he spent a couple of nights with my nana since Chantz works nights she comes to our house and sleeps with him in the guest room so I'm not alone and he'll say yeah I'm gonna kick her and he thinks it is just the funniest thing. A couple of other funny things he's doing is with Yo Gabba Gabba. He used to be into this show where this was like the only thing we were allowed to watch....so my mother in law drove all over florida looking for Gabba toys for his birthday last year and finally found him a plush plex and brobee. Well this year he still watches Gabba every now and then but he is really into Fresh Beat Band (which has the jerk according to him and nana that's what they call him but his real name is twist) and Backyardigans and movies Toy Story, Cars, Stuart Little and Finding Nemo. Well he used to have his buzz and woody go everywhere with him and one day I hear him talking amongst his "friends" and he's telling them that's it's you go to timeout. Well I was cleaning and wasn't really paying attention to him and I go outside in the garage to throw something away and see the plex doll in the trash. So I picked him up and took him inside and said ummm Dalton why is plex in the trash and he goes on we don't like him anymore he's being mean to buzz and woody. so I told him ok honey we don't throw him away just because he doens't get along with them we just put him in another room so I set him on the bottom of the stairs. So later that day I see the downstairs bathroom door shut and I went to open it and Dalton dashes across the room to stop me and yells no you can't go in there plex is hiding in the dark. So I open the door and see his plex doll in the corner by the cabinets in the dark and I said what is he doing in here Dalton and he once again told me he was in timeout haha. The next day my mother in law came over to the house and was changing in the bathroom downstairs and Dalton went in there to talk to her and he picks up his plex doll and goes you see him his name is plex and she told him I know I drove all over florida trying to find him for you and Dalton tells her "don't blame me" lol. He is just too smart for his own good. Speaking of Dalton's "friends" he has a group of toys (whichever ones it may be that day) that he carries EVERYWHERE and those are his friends. They have to sleep with us go to the grocery store with us and even sit under the blankets with us on the couch to watch tv. Whatever is new in Dalton's life that day becomes his friends....or at least is added to his collection of friends he already brings everywhere. It's really annoying in the middle of the night when his buzz lightyear or mac goes off and starts talking or when he has so many friends in the bed with us that I get no sleep becuase I'm completely squished with no room. He has had mostly cars, buzz, woody, mac, water guns, bullseye, jesse, and just random action figures but sometimes it even goes as far as the metal pieces to the monopoly game and yes even the cup and dice that go to yatzee. My do I just love the random "friends" that sleep with us every night hahaha. Also with these friends if one of them is being to loud and I tell him to be quiet because Keylee is sleeping he will yell at them "lightning you be quiet keylee is sleeping I said no more talking or you're going to timeout" and sometimes I even fall or trip over toys as I'm coming in the door who are in the timeout spot and Dalton is extremely serious that they are not to move until they say sorry or their time is up. I'll also hear him talking to his friends at the bottom of the stairs and he sounds just like me when I talk to him he'll tell them "just wait a minute policeman my mom said when she's done she will come get your drink" lol. He is just too much and I can just eat him up. I love him more and more every day and am so excited that I now get to stay home with him and Keylee every day so I get to hear all these adorable little things that they say and these little memories that they make:)

Until next time.....
