He's Here!

I went into labor on March 31, 2010 after my doctors appointment, and decided to drive to the hospital at 1:30am. We got in and was having really good contractions. I was dilated to a 4 when i got there. I waited to get my epidural until i was dilated to a 7. Then the doc had to come break my water, within 30 minutes from then i was ready to push! And there arrived...

Houston Lee Jarvis gave us a little scare the day after i had him. I was getting ready to nurse him and he starting spitting up blood, totally freaked me out! The nurse took him to the nursery and they started an exam on him. They later brought him back to me after some tests, and they said he must have swallowed my blood from delivery. The wanted to take his blood cell count test to make sure he wasn't losing blood. They kept repeating the test because it was fluctuating, they kept us int eh hospital for 4 days. The discharged me on saturday and let Houston come home monday. Monday they told me that the reason his blood tests were fluctuating was because when they were testing him to find out where that blood was coming from theyw too much blood which made his results go down. Then the tests kept fluctuating because of them making blood draws too often. So basically they put him into Anemia. Poor little guy! But everything is ok and we are all doing good! Yay! We are so happy he is here!

Doc Appointment and Belly Picture / 40 weeks

Belly Pictures for Week 40!

I had my doctor's appointment today at 230 and we did the usual. Listened to Houston's heart beat, louder and stronger then ever, then i was examined. I am still dilated to a 3 but i am not as long. So it's just a matter of time. She also used this Gel and stripped my membrain, so hopefully i go into labor by tonight or in the next 48 hours! Mom says if the stripping and the gel doesn't work there is something wrong with me! Haha nice i know! But if the gel doesn't work we are scheduled for inducement on Monday April 5th! So we are for sure going to have a baby by monday! But i really do hope i go in on my own earlier than that! Please pray with me that I will go in on my own! She said Houston is looking to be 6 1/2 pounds! That was really exciting to hear! It is getting very very close and i am super excited to have this little boy! Yay!

Rest in Peace Susie Horse

Miss Susie Horse died today. Very Sad. The poor thing has had a rough couple of months. January she had gotten out of the yard and she got hit by a car. She was all beat up and thought for sure she wasn't going to make it, but she pulled through and healed very nicely a month later. Then we bring Mom's new horse Miss Social (aka Soci) to meet her so they could be friends. Well Soci was her friend for a few days then started picking on her. Josh and the guys came home from work a week ago and noticed Susie had been kicked by Soci. We don't know how many times, but Soci has been really mean to her. Mom has been taking good care of her and we've tried to keep them away from each other by locking Susie up at night in the barn, well one of them broke the gate and Susie was continued to be beat up on. She couldn't make it anymore and she passed on today. We think she still had issues from the car accident still and then had some internal bleeding from being kicked. Josh was there and watched her pass on... We are really sad that she couldn't make it and feel terrible meanie Soci beat her up. She was a good natured horse and we fell so much in love with her, we were going to make her our own. Josh will miss riding her and I will miss brushing her and feeding her. I'm kind of sad i was going to ride her when she got all better and after i had this baby. Oh well. We love you and miss you Susie Horse!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of her

Frustrated....

Well i am totally frustrated! If you don't want your head bitten off please don't ask me if i am still pregnant, because the answer is yes! haha! I am kidding i won't bite your head off. I am miserable, tired, and now super sore because I've walked at least 2 miles a day for a week now and walked on the treadmill for 2 days straight. I walked like 4 or 5 hours on Sunday, and walked 6 hours yesterday! Yesterday i started having labor pains at 3pm and they were good and consistent. The contractions were about a minute long, and were 8 minutes apart then 7 minutes apart. So i thought for sure i was good and we were going to have the baby that night! Well lucky me, kept moving to keep them going and about 8:30pm they started to get slower and slower then eventually had stopped completely! I was so so mad! I of course am emotional and sleep deprived so i cried for a few hours last night when everyone else was in bed asleep. I now can't fall asleep until about 4am every night and I still get up every 1 1/2 hours to go to the bathroom and get a drink. So i am pretty frustrated. I have had contractions for now 2 1/2 weeks straight they just haven't been close enough together or long enough. I see my doctor tomorrow to get examined and depending on what i look like, i might be induced. I am requesting to be induced at least by Friday. My due date is Thursday on April fools day so fingers crossed i will go into labor soon. I am starting to feel sick to my stomach every day now and i don't have an appetite and that is probably because of the stress but i force myself to eat and drink every 3 hours. Oh and those of you that don't know at my appointmet week i was checked again and i was dilated to a 3! So he is READY" he just needs to quit teasing me and just come!!! Well I am going to go walk on the teadmill again, my aching feet and legs will have to forgive me! I will walk until this child falls out!!! I can't take it anymore! Wish me luck and pray with me that i will be able to go in on my own instead of being induced. Thanks and that's it for now!
