catch up...

Ok so here is the last three weeks in a nut shell. about three weeks ago my mom came into town for Risa to have her baby. the Dr. Made it seem like her might get her going soon but her didnt. We all spent the next week at my house playing the waiting game for the little Ivie to get here. It was fun to spend family time together. Finally on thursday she had another apointment and the Dr said she was ready...but her told her he was going to schedule her for induction and sent her home much to our dissapointment. He set the date for saturday...we were glad because that would make it so Jennie could come( but later it didnt work out..). $ am saturday morning came early and we were off to the hospital to have the baby. Risa was in good spirits s the baby was taking up so much of her abdomin that she was stugggling to breath, eat, sit, stand and lay...but that is all!!!

Her Dr is awesome she got an epidural on a drip and she slept through all of labor and by 4
;15 she was ready to push. we waited about 20 mins fr the Dr and then pushing lasted about an hour and a half...I got to be on her right side holding her leg....it was a new experience for me...

She was such a big baby she wasn't coming out on her own very well. Risa did great. Finally the Dr stepped in and helped and wow she was a big girl.

After Risa's Uterus didn't want to clamp down and she lost a lot of blood it scared me a LOT!!! it took her body about 12 hours to finally clamp down they got the initial bleed stopped but she had a laps in the night...the Dr were worried and kept her at the hospital for several day to keep a watch on her.

She finally came home about 4 days after delivering. She is happy to be home and sleeping and recovering fro the blood loss...and new lack of sleep that wakes her in the night...

I sadly dont have pictures due to the fact that my sister cameras batteries dies so I gave them mine...considering it was their child....

A few days latter I got REALLY sick and was down and out for a week solid and I am finally feeling better. I am still really tired and have the all so fun lingering cough but happy to not feel like a truck hit me anymore!!!

Ella is loving school and seems to be learning well. She is in an all Day kindergarten and being there all day wears her out in the end but I thing it is just what she needed...she learns really well withe her teacher!

Brandon is still getting use to Ella going to School but isn't crying everytime we leave her... However last week when we dropped her off he said "ok lets got to Menas house now mom"! (Mena is what he calls my sister Jennie....I laughted he is a funny guy she lives 2 hours away.)

other than that We are up to our normal everyday activities. Sorry it took me so long to Update it has been crazy getting use to a new schedule.
