Damn.. someone needs to remind me to post!!

Jalyn is doing awesome, she is just about 3 and a half months now. She is getting so big!

She is such a good baby, hardly ever cries and always has a smile on her face. She is laughing, babbling, and always wanting to be upright. She seems to think she is strong enough to sit up on her own. So we got her a bumbo, and she loves the freedom. She also really loves her jumperoo and enjoyed her exersaucer for the first time today.

She is absolutely beautiful, and everywhere we go people are talking about how cute she is. Even a grandmother of another baby at a Christmas party said Jalyn was the cutest baby there, lol. We are very proud of our little girl and very much in love with her.

Wow, should start posting more often!!

so obivously by now I have had the baby.

Jalyn was born via emergancy c section on 10-10-09.

After contractions started on 10-08 I waited for them to get stronger and closer, I went to sleep for a for a bit and woke up at 8am and had a weird pain, not thinking much of it, James went to work. Within 5 minutes my contractions hit hard and fast. I was calling him within 15 minutes of him leaving, but he forgot to turn up his volume on his phone. I had my step dad take me to the hospital, and found out the weird pain I had was my water breaking and her head was blocking the hole so I didn't get a gush of fluid. I was 5cm when I got there and progressed pretty quickly.

The epidural was not inserted properly, only worked on one side so it had to get fixed. Then it kept wearing off too quick. I stopped progressing after a while, so they had to give me potassin (sp?). After a while my temperature was going up, and both of our heart rates started going crazy. I was told if I wasnt pushing within a hour they would take her via c section. After just 30 minutes they decided they needed to taker her.

While I was waiting for the surgeon my epidural wore off, so I was feeling everything for a while. I got back to the OR, and they gave me a spinal. Jalyn was stuck pretty bad, and there was some extra manuvering that had to be done to get her out. She was born screaming at 1:27am on October 10th. While they were stitching me up James got to hold and bring her to me so I could see her. While they were closing me up the spinal started to wear off so I was starting to feel things.

Jalyn has been a great baby. She almost never cries, she is just content with life pretty much no matter what she is doing.

We are so blessed to have her here, and are loving every minute of it.

Sure has been a while.

Well, I'm about 34 1/2 weeks pregnant, and have not posted much... cause not much has happened.

James and I went to the Seahawks game on the 22, and all the walking around made me start having contractions. They say if you have like 5 in a hour to go into L&D... I had like 3 or 4 in a hour, then they started to slow down. I had a few the next day, but nothing major.

Then monday afternoon I started having really strong contractions, and pretty close to eachother. I also notice Jalyn was not moving as much (probably wasnt happy with her small home getting smaller). So I called the on call mid wife and asked what I should do. They said to go in.

Of course, the contractions slowed down right after I talked to them. And on the way to the hospital I only had I think one (I only live 10 min. away anyway) and she started moving again. But we went anyway just to make sure all was well.

I was there for a total of 3 hours, hooked up to machines. Had a few contractions, and at first they were saying they might have to "wake her up" cause she wasnt moving again, but her heart was great. And within a few minutes she started moving.

They said they aren't sure why I was contracting, I was slightly dehydrated, but not enough to cause contractions like that. But I wasn't in labor obivously.

So all we can figure is my body is just getting ready for it all.

But all is still well here, my baby shower is coming up in a few weeks, then hopefully she will be born right after... a little early is great with me. lol

26 weeks

So I am now 26 weeks, and it seems to be flying by.

I went for my appointment with my midwives at 24 weeks and they told me I needed to go in for another ultra sound, I guess even though they told me everything looked great at the ultra sound at 20 weeks, they were not able to get a clear view of her heart and stuff. They said it was nothing to worry about... of course I worried.

Went in at 25 weeks for that ultra sound, and everything was great. She was moving around like crazy, the tech even said she was one of the most active babies she has seen at the gestational age. They were able to get clear views of everthing they needed, and even rechecked... she is still a girl. :)

She is moving around all the time now. I think she might be a soccer player when she gets older. This morning she even decided to kick me over and over and over in the same spot.. it really started to hurt.. but I love feeling her move so I dealt with it.

I am excited the pregnancy is going by so quick.. here shortly we will be holding our little girl in our arms. We cant wait.

Name change.. kind of

James loves the name we have picked out, but I guess he did not like the spelling. So it has been changed to Jalyn Rose.

Still just as pretty.

We now know the gender!!

I would like for you to meet, Miss Jaelyn Rose Edeburn. The ultra sound went great, we have a healthy baby girl growing. As you can see in this picture she already has her hands up to get her nails done.. or if she is anything like her mom to strangle daddy. haha.

We are super excited and can't wait until October comes around.

18 week dr appointmnet

Went for my dr appointment yesterday. Was so awesome to hear the heartbeat again. This time they didn't have to do any searching... just put the doppler on my tummy and there it was. Got another recording of it as well. You can hear everytime the baby kicks in the 15-20 seconds I recorded... so awesome.

By the way... I want to let everyone know now.. the baby may possibly be gay. lol. I mean, not really, but the other night James and I were laying in bed and he hasn't been able to feel the baby kick yet so he had his hand on my tummy and were trying everything to get him/her to kick. So I said "Kick if your a boy." Nothing, "Kick if your a girl." Nothing, "Kick if your a future seahawk." Nothing, "Kick if your gay." and I felt something lol. Coulda been gas... or the baby is gay or has a good sense of humor already lol. We were cracking up.

Only two more weeks til we find out the sex of the baby, I can't wait to finally be able to really go shopping for clothes and stuff. Will be so much fun knowing if I need to go blue or pink.. and not just yellow. lol
