She's Here

Last night at 10:40 I felt the baby move and then I was soaked. I spent the next 15 min in the bathroom wondering how in the world I was going to get to the hospital without looking like I had wet my pants. Well after going through one pair of pants, I gave up and didn't care anymore. The next hour was getting hooked up to everything in the place and getting the epidural. The next 3 hours were sitting around trying to fall asleep, and not getting much rest. About 3:15 my mom showed up and we were ready to get things done. I was only at a 6 at 3:30 but by 3:50 I was pushing, she was ready to come. The official time was 4:02 when Jeslyn Loris Anderson joined our family at a hefty 8 lbs 7 oz and a long 21 in. We spent the next 2 hours just getting settled in. The rest of the day has been nap, eat, nap feed, nap, make calls, nap, blow bubbles, sneeze, eat, nap, feed, etc. We are so happy she is finally here with us and I can finally BREATH. Enjoy the pictures. Oh yeah and she already sucks her hand.

Just an update

I am still pregnant, and according to trend I will stay pregnant for at least 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. I went into the Dr. on Friday and was dilated to a 1 so not much going on as expected. I spent the evening on Saturday contracting a bunch, but it was not labor even with them only about 4 min apart. My problem is that I have 3 hours of church that just drive me CRAZY each week. For RS (we have ours backwards) the baby was moving like crazy and making it hard to sit still myself. For SS not only was she still moving but I was starting to contract a little. In Sacrament she wasn't moving nearly as much, but I was starting to contract pretty hard. I got home from church and got lunch taken care of and eaten then ran for the bed because the contractions were hurting pretty bad and getting closer together. Nathan was a little worried because I still have 3 weeks left, but I really don't care too much when she wants to come. While I was laying down they were still coming and hard down to about 4 min apart again. I was out of time though, I had a meeting that I had to go to, so I got up and got ready to go and guess what, within about 10 min they completely stopped. She was just practicing for the real deal to happen. I am sure that those contractions on Sunday were definitely helping with the dilating process, they felt like labor.
Where does that leave us, I am anxious to finish getting ready for the baby. I need to pull out the baby clothes, get a little more cleaning done, and finish all of my sewing projects. My problem with getting too ready is that I have to adorable girls that just love to pull anything and everything out that they haven't seen for a while, so I just don't want the messes that are coming with the getting ready. Nathan wants to set up the crib so bad but I won't let him until the baby is ready to move into it in another 3-4 mo. I know those girls just too well to know that the instant it goes up they are going to think it is play time in it. I also have to wait just one more week at least before she can come. I have everything set up to where if she waits for the due date we are set, but between my mom and all my commitments, she isn't allowed until next Tuesday. I can survive right!?!?
Well wish me luck and I will do what I can to post pictures as quick as I can.

Baby Picture

I had to go in for an ultrasound last Friday because she was measuring big, and the tech got me a 3D picture of our cute little girl. It is amazing how much more realistic it all is now that I have seen her. If you are having a hard time seeing the picture, the two hands are right next to each other and to the left of her nose. It is a profile shot, you can see her eye, nose, and mouth. I absolutely love this picture. The tech said she has a lot of hair, and there is no doubt that it is a girl. She is a little big, but nothing new for my kids, so I will just deliver a big baby. Who knows when she will come but I keep thinking it will be Nov 1st or 2nd. I am hoping sooner, but whatever right.
