Sunday visitors and treats
We had a great surprise today! Aunt Grace (who is pregnant and due tomorrow!) and Uncle Greg came, they brought lunch and hung out with us for the afternoon. This was great since I was planning to be home alone all afternoon while Rich was working. They also brought some baked goods that Aunt Sarah made.
Brad had one of each!
Billy loved the pumpkin cupcakes!

Halloween 2009 - Ronnie's 1st!
Halloween shirts
Wrestling with Daddy
We went for a walk and then took Ronnie to the doctor. Since she has pink eye we didn't go out but we had some fun at home...
Halloween art projects
Only 2 kids were willing to wear their costumes...
Brad didn't want to be the only monster

Bath Time!
Rub-a-dub-dub-3 kids in the tub. Well, actually the kitchen sink. This is bath time at our house...
1st is Bradley
2nd is Billy
3rd is Ronnie
This is a somewhat dangerous attempt to get a picture of 3 clean kids
And, finally, at Brad's request, a snack.

Veronica Raye
Ronnie was born May 4, 2009 at 4:08am via VBAC at 37 weeks. She was 5 lbs and 17 inches long. Our biggest baby.
She was 37 weeks 2 days when she was born. From weeks 16-36 I received weekly progesterone injections to keep me pregnant. A nurse came to our house for 20 weeks to monitor me and the baby and give the shot. I also had a uterine monitor at home and had to hook up to it for an hour in the morning and an hour at night to monitor contractions. Reports from the machine were sent into a 24-hour nursing center and after every hour a nurse called and checked on me. At 23 weeks I was in labor and delivery for contractions and received 3 shots of Terbutaline which slowed things down. I was there again at 35 weeks, after 3 shots of Terbutaline and a shot of Morphine, I spent the night and things slowed down.
My water broke at 11pm on May 3, we arrived at the hospital at midnight and my contractions were 1 and a half minutes apart and was 4 cm. I got an epidural and was closely monitored for uterine rupture since I had a c-section 14 months before, there was a surgical team there and Rich was dressed to go to the OR just in case. After the epidural, Rich and I both took naps until I started pushing, except when they came in to check me. In attempt to avoid the epidural problems I had with the boys, it was given to me much slower this time which solved the problem. She was born 4 hours later. I was so happy to be able to do the VBAC. We were able to hold her and I was able to nurse her a few minutes after she was born.
Rich finally got to cut the cord.
It was an amazing experience to have a baby in my hospital room...
and be able to take one home with me.
Ronnie is a great baby, has been sleeping through the night for 2 months, she is always happy. She loves her brothers and doesn't want to miss a thing, she is always watching them!
It is so fun having a girl...check out those earrings!
