Owen's trip to the mall

Yesterday my mom and i went shopping. While we were at the mall i decide to stop in at Kiddie Kandids just to check things out. The girls flocked to Owen and were trying to talk me into getting his picture taken. I was not having it since he was in the ugliest outfit ever! But they said he was so cute that if i let them take some pictures then they would give me an 8X10 free, so i gave in. We only got one pose because when i took his diaper off he freaked!!! So here is the first and last picture they took.

It's official...

As of last night at 11:05 p.m., we became parents... It started at 2 o'clock yesterday.. I was sitting at work and I got a text from Kate telling me that "she thinks that she is having some contractions..." I didn't really think anything of it because she had just gotten back from the doctor earlier that morning. She didn't really feel that it was serious either so she just told me that if it got worse that she would call me.

Well, sure enough, about an hour later I get a call and Kate is on the phone telling me that they are getting more painful... and that maybe I should come home. I told her to just let me know! About ten minutes later I get a call and I hear Kate on the other end wondering why I hadn't left work yet!! So... I guess I was on my way home and off to the hospital. On the way home I started to get a little nervous... but was still a little skeptical if it was real or not.

While pulling into the driveway, I was half way thinking that I should leave the car running (due to the previous phone call from Katelyn and the panic in her voice) Well, I run in the house only to find Katelyn sitting on the floor doing her hair!! Part of me was relieved, and part of me was like "what the heck!??" Here she was 15 minutes ago freaking out at me cuz I wasn't home!! Anyways, then Katelyn takes her sweet time packing her bag, trying to figure out what outfit she wants to bring him home in and what blankets we should bring... "Are you kidding me!?" Who cares! Are you in labor or not chick!"

Finally after practically pushing Kate out the door, she tells me to grab her a pair of shoes.. so I grab the pair closest to the door and rush out to the car... When Kate sees the pair I grabbed, I suddenly find myself getting lectured for grabbing the brown ones instead of the black ones!! What!!???

Well, we finally get to the hospital only to find that she is dialated to a 5 and is having a minute and a half contractions with about 5 minutes in between! Crazy!! Well from there... we got her checked in, and hooked up to her epidural.

Well after about 7 hours of labor and a good good hour and a half of pushing (not to mention the car reck our doctor got in on his way over to deliver Owen) Out came our 7 pound 6 ounce Child, standing at a towering 20 inches!!

We are so excited! I cant explain how cool and crazy it is knowing that I'm a parent (and all the responsibility that goes with it!)

A little update...

Here is a little update on whats been going on with us for the past couple weeks. DJ is still working at Nuvont part time and going to school. Just recently he also started working part time at Apx Alarms. He has been staying really busy but he seems to be liking it!
I went to the doctor last tuesday and he broke the news to me that i most likely wont be having the baby for 2 weeks. Tomorrow will make it one week down and hopefully no more than 1 more week to go! I will be going to the doctor again tomorrow morning and i am praying for some good news, since last week was a serious let down.
On friday i was leaving work and i got rear-ended. It wasn't that bad but it definately scared me. I honestly did everything that i shouldn't have, starting with not calling the police...I guess i learned the hard way! When i got home that night DJ was doing the dishes by hand, since our dishwasher broke, and he was trying to fit his hand in a cup but it just didnt fit and it broke! So he cut his finger pretty good! I thought that it needed stitches but he refused to get them. So hopefully we have better luck this week!!!
