Pics of the kiddos

Got some pictures done of the kiddos from one of my dancer's moms. She is amazing and we appreciate Lindsay so much. So I hope this link works. http://www.lindsaymoorephotography.com/pickpic/gallery/
Password is Sawyer

Update

Okay it's been three weeks today since Sawyer joined the family. He went to the doctor today because I was concerned about acid reflux, so our pediatrician wrote him a prescription for Zantac, and I'm pretty excited because it has been a tough 2 weeks because of his screaming. I'm extremely tired and am missing my mom pretty bad even though she doesn't think she did very much while she was here. As long as she was entertaining one of the kids she was doing a lot. So when she left it was a really hard adjustment. Sawyer is a tank he is now 9 lbs 3 oz. I can't believe he has put on two pounds in three weeks. He'll be rolly polly I'm sure. He's cute and quite alert now and it's fun to see his little personality. He makes some fun faces and we just love him. We haven't been the best at taking pictures, so we'll get better but here are some new old pictures.

more pics finally

Sawyer Dean Staples

Sawyer Dean Staples is here. I came into the hospital at 5:30 this morning. We were placed in a room, filled out a ton of paperwork, got some blood work done, and got started on my pitocin drip at 6:30. I was dilated to a 3. I started having pretty regular contractions, but couldn't really feel them. At 8:20 Dr. Breazeale came in and checked me to see if she could break my water. I was dilated to a 3 and only 50% effaced, so she broke my water. I had been thinking I would do it naturally again, but decided why not get an epidural. So my new love Dr. Treadwell came in at 9:05 and administered the epidural. He did an amazing job, and I was in heaven instantly. I napped on and off for the next 2 hours. Leslie my nurse came and checked me again and said I was to a 5. I kind of started to get discouraged because Sydney came so quickly and this was taking a lot longer. At noon I felt like I needed to push, but couldn't be sure because I didn't know what to expect with the epidural. At 12:15 my nurse came in to check again and said I was almost to a ten. I changed positions and two minutes after that I really felt like I needed to push. Dr. Breazeale got there and got set up. I pushed through one contraction and Sawyer popped out. He weighed 7lbs. 4oz. was 19 inches long and really healthy. Sydney loves him. She has been here for about 5 hours and has continually given him hugs, kisses, and pats on the head. She says, "baby brother is my favorite." We are so happy that she is doing well with him so far. Enjoy the pictures.
