Boy pics !
Just a few pictures fr my phone , I thought I'd put on here while I watch the boys in the bath !
It could be worse !
Not sure why but i noticed that this post and the next one didn't publish back when i wrote them in February!
Last tues in gym class Weston while playing animal tag fell and hurt his arm.
Like very attentive and over protective parents we waited until Friday morning to take him to get it checked .
( he could move it back and forth , we aren't that out to lunch :)
Pat took him to the ER bright and early and somewhat beat the rush .
Turns out he had a buckle fracture which required a cast .
Thankfully the cast guy decided that a removable cast was better for him . So at least it can be removed when he showers etc .
What we figured would he sort of a cool thing for Weston to show his friends was actually not how it played out .
Weston was horrified that he had to wear it . He for the first few days would keep his hand in his jacket pocket so no one would see it .....
We felt bad for him but we have to keep it on. It could be worse ! He could have a solid cast .
He gets to take it off march 5th with a X-ray / check up on march 12 th . The same day as the baby is predicted to arrive .
Maybe we will both be in the hospital that day :)

Post delivery Baby Victoria pictures
These are pics of Victoria during our hospital stay . Because of her size she was kept for observation in the NICU to monitor her sugar levels .
She was the only one of our kids that actually had low sugar levels . Weird .
So because they werent getting better they put her on a sugar IV and had me nurse her every 2 hrs . That made for a long day and night but that's just part of the Job I supose . After 2days she was weened fr the iV and was holding strong with good sugar levels :)
She was then brought into our room with us . So much nicer then waddling back and forth every hr to go see and feed her !
So here is Victoria's first few days .
These pictures are almost comical because all 4 of our babies looked exactly the the same at birth , squashed for heads huge cheeks blotchy red face !" Rough " is a good way to describe them the first few days , cute don't get me wrong but rough hahahaha

Delivery day ! March 14th .....
So just to back track and make a correction approx 6 am we were moved to a actual delivery room because the nurse was going to get me set up with a IV so that I would be ready for drugs when I needed/wanted them . So shortly after that I opted for a shot of fentinal to take the edge of . My contractions were getting closer together prob every 10 min and sometimes closer together maybe even 7-5 min apart . I can't remember really . I do remember that I was nice a dizzy from the fentinal and laid back and enjoyed the buzz :)
I haven't drank or smoked anything in over 10 yrs so the buzz wasn't going to go unenjoyed haha .
Then around 7 the new nurse was on and then my Doc was to be in around 8 ish . So I relaxed and then walked the room abit while still waiting for more to happen .
I still felt like things were not moving along , my contractions were closer together but werent as painful as previous births nor nearly as long per contraction ... So I was thinking this was going to take forever :(
I just looked back on the texts I sent to family and friends and 7 am I got first shot of fentinal and then my next text was at 9:31 and it said "Should be pushing soon . Fully dilated . Water still hasn't broke .....
It was funny because I was getting annoyed that it didnt seem like anything was happening and I was tired etc so I asked the nurse about a epidural and when do people usually get them etc . I figured if this was going to drag out maybe I would do the epidural so I could at least relax and maybe get some sleep .
So she says let me check u and we will see if there is any progress and then we can go fr there .
So in she goes and pokes around and then she looks at me and says " I don't feel any cervix ..."
Hahaha I was like " what ? What does that mean "?
She's days it means your fully dilated and will be ready to push soon .
It made me laugh because as annoyed as I was thinking nothing was happening , I was sure that I knew my body enough to know how it works and as I was walking around the room a few min before that I could feel the " pushing time pressure " but thought that's weird I must have to go to the bathroom cuz it can't be the bd y coming cuz my contractions werent bad or close enough or long enough .
Anyway I was fully dilated and should be feeling the pushing urge. But I wasn't yet . Although now I was starting to have back labor which was annoying so they had me lay on my side ! Back labor usually means the baby is face up and needs to rotate before coming out .
Weston was the same . So I payed on my left side for a few mins.
So I was fully dilated but my water still had not broke . I was sorting on the bed and felt a few trickles and figured it was my water starting to break . It was that or I was just peeing in the bed hahahaha oh well .
So then after a few min on the one side the nurse asked me to change sides and she put a pillow between my legs as I laid there and a min later "SPLOUSH" the dam broke !
I look at her and was like " well my water just broke finally "
She says ok lets get the doc , well wait let me make sure it was your water before we call him back " she peeks and " oh yes that was your water "
Lol if that wasn't my water we have something to be concerned about cuz the bed was so wet I was almost sliding of of it .
So I went fr thinking what the heck is the hold up at around 9:30 to water breaking around 9:50 to waiting for the urge to push and then approx 4-5 hardcore all my might pushes and her arriving at 10:07 am !!!!!
Hahahaha wow now that is the kind of deliveries I am used to . Quick !
I would have to say it was the sweeping of the membranes that's fr this delivery different and made the beginning stages of delivery drag on . But it finished much like the other deliveries , quick and smooth .
Well in the sense that they're were never any complications . For having large babies we have been extremely blessed it awesome pregnancies and smooth calm deliveries .
So Victoria arrived 2 weeks ago today at 10:07 am and was on my chest nursing within a few minutes of her arrival . She latched on like a pro and snuggled in and drank for at least a half an hr while dr Gillespie got his stitch on ...
Aaarrrggg I can still feel the pulling and tugging of being stitched up . Yuck it's a weird feeling . And thnx to the massive size of our babies I end up being the owner of many many stitches . But whatever is take them any day over a slow drawn out delivery with complications .
Within a few days I usually didnt feel them to much .
It's pretty neat that for all 4 deliveries I have a diff story /experience .
-Weston I arrived at the hospital at 8pm with contractions around 5 min apart I was 7.5 cm dilated and they broke my water and at 11:52 he was born . Not bad for the first born . And him being the biggest at 10 Pounds 15.5 ounces
- Nelson , my water broke as I was was lifting Weston onto the budge table to change a stinky diaper . It was 5:30 pm and we were waiting for pat to come home for supper . We got to the hospital around 7:30 pm and he arrived at 10:02 pm .
-lenon is and was mister laid back take his time and he was a week over die when they induced me . They broke my water at 8 am and finally at 11am after no contractions starting etc they out me on petocin to kick start labor . So at 11:30 contractions finally started and by 1:10 pm he was out in my arms .
And last but not least Miss Victoria provides us with yet a completely different delivery story to tell !
We are so BLESSED .......
