Sarah Grace Evans

Saturday March 13th 2010,

Sarah Grace Evans entered this world after one big push. She was 7 lbs 8 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. We still haven't decided who she looks like, so for now we are saying a good mix of the girls. She does however have a TON of hair, short BLONDE eyelashes, long fingernail beds, and super long toes :). She loves to sleep and get warm and cozy, this proves true when it's time to eat. She doesn't like to wake up at all. The girls love her and fight over who gets to hold her next. So they have to take turns, but if they aren't being nice to each other, then they loose their turn.

I went in Friday night (Thank you Tawny for watching the girls for a few days!!) to get Cytotec around 8:30pm. mini contractions started around 9pm and stayed consistent for HOURS and HOURS. They started hurting a bit more in the morning. Around 6 am they gave me pitocin and around 8:30am I got my epidural. I have had 4 epid.s and all different results. I loved this Dr. because he took the time to listen to my experiences and figure out how to help me. He found the "bad" spot in my back where i had the last epid. So he placed it in a different place. Surprisingly the Epidural was the least of my needle worries. THe night before they gave me an IV....well....TRIED for forever! 3 nurses, 2 pokes each, 1 Anesteseologist (sp?) ONE POKE===3 blown veins, 7 pokes, lots of gauze and tape, throbbing arms wrapped in warm towels.....and ONE IV from the DR. FINALLY! Thank goodness he came in when he did. I will take pics of my arms and post that later. Nasty looking.
Anyways.....I got the Epidural around 8:30am, then they broke my water. I knew it would only take about 4 hrs since that is what it was with the girls. 12:30pm I was told I was a 10 cm. Yahooooo! But we had to wait for the Dr. to come in so I could push. I did a mini prctice push about 25 mins before she came in so we could see where the head was.....and then we had to wait.......THen one big push and out came Sarah. They asked if I wanted to hold her right after taking her out. I told them I have a thing about holding nasty slimy babies...luckily they understood. Good thing I said that. She came out all WHITE...I mean WHITE gunk all over her. Even after they wiped her off it was still ALL OVER. She looked so much better when she finally got a bath. :). Everything went great and I felt great.
After the delivery she went to the nursery and I got moved to the 3rd floor. By then I was feeling really sick. THe last hour or so before having her some pain was coming back so they upped the epid. and gave me morphine....I had never had morph. before. So, I got really sick and totally wanted to throw up, but I couldn't with my two friends and the girls there. So i just sat back while they enjoyed Sarah. I felt so sick I couldn't even see how Kylie & Maddie were with Sarah :(. Later on when it passed I was watching Maddie hold her and she was just snuggling her and singing her a soft lullaby that she made up. It was so precious. Kylie went back home with my friend Tawny and Maddie stayed longer with my friend Tiffany and her hubby picked them up and took them to dinner then dropped Maddie of at Tawny's. Thanks girls!!!!! Well, that's all for now. I will post pics later.

Baby Time?

Well, I am still waiting for my little dancing queen to make her debut. I call her that since she moves around soooooo much. I joke that she's mad because her stage is getting smaller in my belly. I have been going back and forth from Brax. Hicks and real contractions off and on. Today I have had more real ones...hey like right now. I am dialated to at least 1 cm so far. I have never been dialated before going in to the Hospitals so this is nice! I love my Dr. and we had agreed that she would be the one to deliver, she was really excited too. BUT.....when they called the hospital last week to schedule my induction they said she was full for the day! WHAT???? Her nurse was confused since they had never told her NO before when calling. hmmmm. My Dr. was really bummed too, so she called her best friend in the practice and asked if she could do it a few days later than what we had planned. So.....unless i have her before (I very well could) I will call the hospital this next Friday night @ 7:30pm to ask when I can come in to get the cytotec, then have her Saturday. So, we will see. Another tricky thing is that Kylie's 4th bday is tht Friday as well.....so we need to plan a time to have a cake for her. At least she's young enough not to notice too much of a difference for the day we have it. She will be happy either way.

Well, wish me luck! We will post when there's more to tell!

Oh, my good friend took some belly pics the other day and I will post them soon! My belly is HUGE!

Kylie's Quilt

Well, Kylie will be 4 yrs old next Friday, so I figured I could at least start her quilt top. I was bored just sitting around the other day "taking it easy", so I picked a pattern and cut out the fabric. I have all of the squares made, so now I have tocut them all to the same size and patchwork them together. Shouldn't take too long. Here it is so far. I laid it out on the kitchen table (which is OVAL) so it looks like an egg. Oh well.

Sister gift to Sarah

So, when I was pregnant with Kylie we took Maddie to get her first Build-A-Bear and then we let her make one for Kylie as a sister gift. Thank goodness we have stayed away from that store since, and now it was time to go again. So after getting Maddie's nails done we went to the mall and entered the super special Build-A-Bear store that they are never allowed to go in! LOL. They were super excited to pick out an animal for their soon-to-be baby sister. All morning Maddie was telling me she wanted to get her a bunny. I didn't even know if they would have one since they swap animals out all of the time. Maddie has a pink poodle and Kylie has a green frog. My thing is that I always want to get the SOFTEST one possible. Guess which one that was???? A BUNNY! So Maddie was thrilled, but Kylie still wanted the gray cat. Oh well. We stood in line to get "Emma" stuffed and they each got to add a heart and make a wish. I asked Maddie what her wish was and she said she wished the bunny was real and wore real clothes....LOL! We didn't want to buy any clothes since this is for a baby. After rubbing the hearts on their foreheads to make it smart, their knees to run and play, their hearts for love, and their noses to smell good, they added the hearts and gave it a giant hug. Then they got to go and wash and fluff "Emma." So cute. They were so proud of their creation! After going to the mall we drove up to Carrolton to see Michael and Jeannie Stone at their new house and had dinner and played the Wii. Thanks guys for a fabulous end to a fun day!

Maddie's Spa Day

For YEARS Maddie has been wanting to get her toes and nails done at the Spa. Whenever we pass by one (there's a TON here) she makes sure to let us know what the name of it is and reminds us of how many she has added up by then. So, for her 7th Bday her Nana Baird/Patton And Gpa Rick sent her some $ so we finally went to get them done. I couldn't ever justify spending that much on getting a kids nails done when I could do it at home. But I guess it is an "experience" that she just wanted. So yesterday I took her since she had the day off of school. It ended up being $25 for a Mani/Pedi. She got Hot Pink on her toes and Deep Red Sparkles on her fingers. It was so funny to see her in the BIG chair. They even put the massage thing on....soooooo funny to watch her head and body shake all over! She was a bit too short to let her feet soak all of the way but they made it work. When the lady was scrubbing her feet she tried to hold it in (so funny to watch, I should have taken a video) and she kept looking at me saying that it hurt, but when the lady asked her she would just say it tickled. I was laughing so hard. Just the looks that Maddie was giving me! LOL LOL LOL. She thought it was ready weird that there were soooo many steps before putting on the polish. Soak, scrub, cut, file, cuticles, lotions,base coat, polish, top coat, then dry under a light. I am not sure who enjoyed it more....me watching her or her getting it done. She did so good! Now she wants to go back again. Of course! We will see. I told her the past two year that she had to spot biting her nails and then I would take her. You know that was the only thing that worked! I think she stooped biting them with in the past 9 months. I told her I would take her at age 6, but she was still biting them. So glad she stopped! Happy Birthday Maddie!
