the story:
4am monday morning:
i woke up to a rough contraction and what i was pretty sure was my water breaking... i timed contractions for an hour or so, called the doctor on call and headed to the hospital.
5:30am:
made it through triage (whew, it was my water breaking) and we were admitted.
contractions were coming regularly but at inconsistent intervals, so we walked, sat in the jacuzzi tub, sat on a giant rubber ball, walked some more...yada.
11:15am:
we called my mom to give her an update that things were progressing slowly.
11:45am:
things picked up and i started asking about the epidural, they started the IV drip in preparation.
sometime after that... i have no idea:
i was a 9.5 and asking, maybe not so patiently for the anesthesiologist.
she FINALLY came but said it was too late and gave me an interthecal injection instead.
12pm:
enter mom. three contractions later we had our baby boy, and i thoroughly enjoyed the warm numbness of my lower half part way through pushing and long afterwards.
he's such a sweet and handsome boy. he's sleeping great, (2) 5 hour stretches last night and he's eating like a champ. we feel so lucky to have him in our home.

still waiting.
we've had an eventful week, just not the events we hoped would occur.
i've come down with some sort of head cold...no fun.
olive spent a few hours in the ER on monday night after passing out and throwing up. she's okay now, but we all slept on the floor beside her with a puke bowl handy just in case.
i walked a lot on tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday the 14th which came and WENT.
and, this morning 2 of the 5 adults in the house including me have the stomach flu.
not ideal circumstances to bring a newborn home too.
so, i'm thinking i might be pregnant forever...

on to the new year.
let's have this baby already.
these pictures might be cute if my figure wasn't so grotesque.
can i be done?
an engagement!
AND to top it all off kyle proposed to his girl jeneca. yeah!
they're planning to get married the end of april.
they came to boise the day after christmas and spent the week hanging out. we even braved the 20 degree weather and took engagement pictures while they were here. you can hardly even tell they're near frozen.
isn't she cute!
santa came to our house!
christmas was so much fun this year with olive. we put reindeer food out on the lawn to make sure santa found our house. we left out milk and cookies and in the morning when we woke up santa had left olive a note and presents under the tree.
she had a lot of fun unwrapping everything and was thrilled to get "wii dance" she's been talking about it since we got home from arizona because she loved playing it with ella while we were there.
don't kids make everything better? especially the holidays!
good friends.
one of the perks of moving back home is that old friends come to town for the holidays.
we had dinner at the familiar talich home where we got to see, cindy and travis, stacy and brandon, benjamin, lilly, abby and todd, tanner and caleb.
the night was so much fun and olive loved having so many friends around.
pictures to come...i hope, someone send me pictures.
tenley missed out of the first gathering because her baby was sick in the hospital in seattle. but after a full recovery they made it to town and we were able to spend an evening at cindy's with her, dave, troy and carson.
olive was so fascinated with the baby. she got to hold him and look at his fingers and toes and she even sang him songs during dinner.
we're excited to see how she reacts when our baby comes.
making the cut.
one of my favorite christmas traditions has always been grandpa's christmas eve scavenger hunt.
BUT, there is strict criteria to participate, and once you're married you're out. you then get to help hide the clues and presents for the younger kids.
well, spencer and i will be married 7 years this summer, so you can imagine the built up withdrawl, and the excitement of watching olive participate this year.
a baby shower!
these cute girls, olivia and dyanna threw me a baby shower this month. it was so fun to get together with family and friends and celebrate our baby to be.
it's been different this pregnancy because we've been so busy with olive and the business, that i feel like it's flying by, and my due date is sneaking up on me...Jan 14.
so, it was so nice to take a night and really think about and focus on the little man that will join our family in a couple weeks.
can't wait to meet him.
a birthday!
this handsome man had a birthday.
we got a sitter, (thanks mom) and we celebrated with dinner and a walk. sounds kind of lame but it was perfect. it was nice and amazingly calm with just the two of us.
we also got movie tickets, but decided to save them until "true grit" came out.
...which it did, and we still haven't been, (that actually is lame).
BUT, don't worry we will.
sure love this guy!
snow!
we came back from thanksgiving in arizona to a pretty good snow. we bundled olive up and took her out for her first real snow play.
...she was slightly amused.
no, she actually had a lot of fun, AND, the pictures turned out pretty cute. love that bundled bottom.
