Taydan's 1st bottle!

LaLayn was helping me give him his first

bottle. He wasnt really sure about it.

Taydan is now seven months old and we no longer breast feed. He really struggled to gain any weight, so for a few months we did half and half. Then we went to total bottle feeding, he has been gaining weight very steadly since.

Taydan's first two Baths at home

Taydan didnt like anything about baths, until like

two months ago and now he kicks and wiggles

and laughs the entire time.

Hello

I know it has been forever since my last post. Like 6 months, so im going to be getting everyone caught up on what we have been doing. Life has been great and so busy, but fun. Its going to take me a few days to get it all caught up but then again its been 6 months.

Taydan had Jaundice

March 18, 2010

He looks so mad but all he wanted was a paci, he actually

really loved the blanket cause its so warm.

We only had to do about two days of treatment and he was

just fine. The only thing that sucked

was we had to take him in every day to test his levels.

We have a BIG SISTER in our house!

LaLayn

The first time there eyes meet, and she is so excited to see her new little brother.

Big sister can even hold her little brother all by herself. She dosnt look happy but sometimes the only happy faces you get they arent facing the camera!


How cute!

Taydan Fisher

Born: March 4, 2010

Weight: 7 pounds 2 ounces

Length: 20 inches

Ok so Taydan's labor and birth didnt quite go as I planned. Do to James work schedule and the stress it was putting on me, we decided that getting induced was probley the way we were going to handle it this time. So February 25, 2010 we scheduled with the midwives, but on the 24 we had our appointment to see if anything was going on labor wise. I was dialated more and thinned more but baby was sittin so high they could move his head back and forth. The midwives told us they didnt feel comfortable starting us cause the baby could have problems. So we said that was fine and decided to just wait and see what baby was going to do. After all his safety is our number one concern.

Well 5 more days went by and we were quite buisy running around. We went back to the doctor on March 1, 2010 to see if anything had changed. It did the baby had dropped, not fully engaged but enough they decided we could go ahead, so the midwives called and got us on the schedule. Which was my due date anyways.

So the morning of March 4, 2010. We had to be to the hospital at 7:00 am which wasnt to bad. We got up, picked up my dad and headed to my Grandma Bowman's house. My dad watched LaLayn there cause its just down the hill from the hospital. We wanted LaLayn there as quickly as possible to joint us in bonding with with our new little baby. Well we dropped Dad and LaLayn off at Grandmas and headed to the hospital. We got up there and they took us to our room. I was checked again and thinned more and was having very light contractins of my own. But they said they still had to start the pitocin or I could be in labor that way for weeks. 9:00 am they started it really slowly and it wasnt bad. Actually I was rather bored. At noon everyone was hungry including myself so I sent James and Cydnee down to the cafeteria to get us lunch. I made James get me mashed potatos and gravy. They were so good I gobbled it down. Thirty minutes later my midwife came in to see if we were making any progress and was thinking about breaking my water. But my water broke and she said she could feel something funny, then she said it was a hand and that he had grabbed her finger. It was amazing, then in a split second his heart rate dropped and it was like a mad house in the room. The doctor that works with the midwives came in and check me they had me try every position you can think of and nothing helped they even tryed pushing his hand back up but he just pushed back. They then informed us it would be to dangerous to continue, and that I needed an emergengy C-section. So from the time my widwive came in to the time they wheeled me out to the O.R. was like 10 to 15 mins. Then the next thing I remember was waking up in recovery. Taydan was born at 2:28 pm He was 7 pounds and 2 ounces which makes him two pounds lighter then LaLayn.

The whole experience was totally not what I was expecting but I guess thats why they say labor is unpredictable. First things started so slowly, then they were going so fast it was like lightning. Just an image in your mind. In the long run im glad it happened the way it did because if my water had broke when my midwife wasnt there the baby could have been in lots more trouble. He turned out beautiful and perfect in every way.

I had him on thursday and was able to go home on sunday. The recovery has been pretty quick so far. Everyday im feeling so much better, im also able to do more things. Like touch the ground. ;-D

Thanks everyone who helped us get Taydan here and helped us with LaLayn

We love you all!!

Pictures will be coming soon!!!

OK I will let everyone in on our news!

Thursday I am being induced, due to James work schedule being so weird and crazy lately. They have been sending him way out of town. Which makes me crazy and worried all the time. So James and I decided it would just be better to get the baby here, so we dont have to worry about him missing the delivery. James will be able to get back to work and be able to go were they need him. We will also be able to move on and start another adventure in our lives. I will post as soon as I can and let everyone know how things go.

WISH ME LUCK!!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!

6 Years!!!

Baby Shower!!

My friend Angela threw my baby shower, and made me a diaper cake.

We Love You All!!

Family Pictures!!!

2009

James mom needed new family pictures,

but its really hard to get all three boys home

at the same time, due to all there crazy schedules.

So she decided to take them herself,

and they turned out great.

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted,

I havent been able to get on to my account.

So here are a few things we have been up to.

Halloween 2009

Other then that we have been working on our basement none stop. We are trying to get it finished by christmas and we are getting close. My brother Spencer is painting right now and we already have our carpet ordered and it will go in when we are finished with the paint. I will post pictures of the whole thing when we are finished. Everything is going good with the baby I had a few days where we were worried about my measurments, I had to do a few test. The three hour insulin test and a second ultrasound, I was measuring 7 inches two big so they were a little concerned. All in all everything turned out fine I am haveing some trouble with my insulin which is making me measure big and I have to start a diabetic diet to help control it. But the baby is measuring right on track.

IT'S A BOY!!!

He looked great and is measuring right on track.

We only got 3 pictures, and since we dont have a scanner

I took pictures of my pitures so we could show everyone.

(P.S. my pics arent that great sorry)

We find out thursday the sex of the baby.

We are so excited, I will let you all know ASAP.

Baby Baby Baby

Well for those of you who don't know, James and I are expecting our second baby. We are due March 4, 2010. We are really excited since it took us two and a half years to conceive this baby. We know its not the longest time but for us trying and no luck it really sucked. We found out in May. We also get to find out if we are having a BOY or GIRL in just a couple of weeks. We will find out on the 9th if the baby doesn't hide the fact. So we will post about that when the time comes. LaLayn has been so cute she is really excited. Everyday I get to hear mommy your belly is getting bigger. I also get lots of hugs. LaLayn tells me all the time the baby is coming in two days because she loves two's, everything is in two days. I would post a Picture but we don't have a printer that works with our laptops. So maybe when we get our bigger ultrasound done I can go barrow one from someone to post pictures of the baby. Or maybe we will finally go buy one.

LaLayn the Photographer!

If I leave my camera anywere LaLayn can get it this is what I find.

She also asks to take pictures of things she does and love.
