I hate when he makes me worry...
So Scott went four-wheeling with my dad and brother. Its snowing, its dark, and its TIME TO COME HOME! But I havent heard from him. My mom hasnt heard from them either. Im worried. Of course now all the bad things are running through my head. Them sitting out there freezing, waiting for help...and here I am...doing nothing. Who would I call? I dont even know. Crap, I hope he calls soon. Im going to beat him when he does.
How can you love someone SOOO much!
It amazes me. Somtimes I just get so overwhelmed with love I just dont know what to do!
I cant believe how much I can love Jentry, Brinley and Ty. I look at them and my heart swells so big it about busts out of my chest. How did I get so lucky to have the three most perfect kids in the world? They are so perfect. What did I do to get so lucky? Right now I feel like my life is so perfect. I have a great husband that calls me on the phone all the time just to tell me how much he loves me. We are healthy and happy. What more could I ask for? (a little more sleep??) I just hope I can show them how much they mean to me.

Brinley and her babies...
Brinley got a doctor table thing for Christmas for all of her babies. Since Christmas all of her babies have received their shots, casts, and every other little thing that that table has on it...but since Jentry went to the doc to get blood tests taken...now all of the babies are getting blood tests. LOL. Funny kid.
Things have been so much better with Jentry!!!
Im so glad. I was starting to wonder if we would be able to live in the same house with eachother for much longer. Shes been such a good sister to Ty. I think she's figured out that he's alright. Maybe it was because I was pregnant and maybe short on my temper. But I didnt know if I was going to survive both of our mood swings. I hope it stays this way.
Here is a Brinleyism
I was in the bathroom with the door locked. Oh the horror. I always have kids banging at the door while Im in the bathroom if I lock the door. Anyway, Brinley is banging on the door and I say "Who is it?" she says, "Its your child" I said "I dont have any children!" and she says "Yes you do, remember Im the one that got a Dora Jeep for Christmas and I have bunk beds in my room" Maybe it was a had to be there moment but I thought it was funny. I think its funny how she described herself.

:-)
she put "I had a new brother."

The one thing I cant wait for Ty to do...
is smile.
I loooooooooove when babies smile.
All the rest of the growing up I can wait for. But I cant wait to see a real smile (none of this gassy stuff lol)

Maybe she does like him...
Last night Jentry heard the baby crying so she came in to my room and said "Mom, do you need any help, the baby sure is crying alot." I told her he was just hungry but maybe he wanted his sister to hold him. So after I fed him she held him. She told me to go to sleep and she would take care of him for the night. If only...
Today she has been extra nice to him and keeps coming in to look at him...so hopefully she is over the jealousy stage.

2 weeks ALREADY!!
Gosh it goes by so much faster when you arent pregnant!! I cant believe Ty turned TWO WEEKS yesterday!!!
Its been tough to get into a routine. Im still not in one. Spend most of the day in the bedroom with him...changing him, feeding him, holding him. Dont do much around the house. Our stuff from Christmas is still out...and I suspect it will be for awhile longer. Im thinking once Jentry goes back to school it will be time to get into a routine. Hard with the Holidays. Buuuuut I will get the hang of it. Hopefully!!
Ty had his 2 week appt on Friday. Hes only gained 2 oz since birth (but 6 since leaving the hospital) so they want me to come in on Wed. or Thursday just for a weight check. Which should be fun...getting him and Brinley ready to drive 20 minutes each way for a five minute weight check. But I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
The minute the doc walked in for our appt he said "You have a yellow baby!" I said yep. I thought he looked less yellow then he did before...but doc wanted us to go get another billirubben test. So after he had to get his foot cut for the stupid PKU we had to go down to the hospital to get his OTHER foot pricked for a billirubben test. He didnt do so good on either tests...as in he FREAKED. He cried so hard his little body turned purple. I couldnt stand it! How can they be sooooooo mean to something sooooo little. I felt like I wanted to bite both nurses heads off. I know they need to do these tests but I couldnt stand that they were hurting my baby!!! I was so annoyed when that day was over. Felt so bad for the little guy. Anyway, doc called at 10:40 at night and said that they never called with his test results so he ended up calling them he said that his number was at a 14. Which is higher then it was before (12.9) but not critical. So if he gets any yellower then we need to bring him in again. ARG! He better not...cause I dont want to have to put him through that STUPID test again!!!
Anyway, off that rant. He is doing good otherwise. I dont think I will ever catch up on my sleep ever again...but thats ok. He doesnt like sleeping in his play pen. He will wake up about an hour after I put him in there...but if he sleeps next to mom hes good for about 5 hours in the night...sometimes. Which is fine with me. I like cuddeling with him. He loves to be held.
Jentry had a hard time liking him at first...and it was getting pretty annoying. People would say.."Do you like your brother?" and she would say "yeah....but he whines alot" Which he DOES NOT!! I think there was some serious jealousy going on there. And she liked the attention she got when she would say that she really didnt like him. I think it was also hard on her because she was sick for his first week and a half of life so I wouldnt let her go near him and she didnt get to hold him...so I think that was another reason she didnt really "like" him. But I think she is getting better about him. Hopefully.
Brinley on the other hand. LOVES her baby brother. Loves doing anything for him. And is a big help...but not tooo much of a help. She loves being a big sister!!!
Scott is also in love with him as is his mommy.
So thats his first two weeks of life...I wonder what the next two weeks hold for us.

Ty's Birthstory
This is just a copy and paste from the boards. Just wanted to save it here too
The doctor told us that we could go in on Saturday. He said the hospital would probably call but if they hadnt called by 7:30 am then to call them. I totally didnt expect them to call and thought for sure I would be calling them at 7:30. 5:56 a.m. they call and said they are ready for us. We had just been lying in bed and werent ready yet. Scott told them we would be there in 45 minutes. So we got up and took a shower and got ready to go. My sister had spent the night to be with the girls. I was getting my shoes on...well trying...it was hard...I thought to myself...I cannot wait to have this baby and be able to put my shoes on. Then I had to go to the toilet for one last puking session. That was another...I cant wait...moment. So we kissed the girls goodbye and off we went to the hospital. We left at about 7:00 whoops. But the hospital isnt very far away. We got there at about 7:15 am. We walked out of the elevator on the 5th floor and everything had changed from what I remembered it with Brinley. The hospital now has the labor and delivery and the mother/baby ward on lock down since last year when another different hospital had a lady try to steal a baby. Anyway, so I called on the phone that was right outside the door and told them I was there. They buzzed us in. It was all starting to sink in that this was the real deal now. So they brought us into our room and I got undressed and into my gown and layed down. The nurse came in and checked me. I was still a 3+ which I didnt expect to have changed anyway. So she hooked me up to the IV and then went to get the pitocin. Scott got bored. Hes easily bored if he isnt doing something so he bought Tetris on his phone and played it. I just layed there thinking about everything. She got the pit hooked up but didnt start it til about 9 am. They figured I was going to go fast. I was contracting on my own about 10-12 or so minutes apart before the pit. But they didnt hurt. Baby was doing fine... kicking like crazy. Kicking a little too much because all of the sudden they lost his h.b. She had me turning from side to side. The baby had done a complete flip from one side to the other & when she checked me again he was way way high. She could barely feel my cervix. Felt like she had her whole arm up there. Finally we got the h.b. But couldnt get my contractions to register. But I could tell I was having them. Still not too hurty. Then the doc came in and checked me. Said I was a 4 almost 5. And broke my water. Told me there was no turning back...well his exact words were... "we are commited now!" The nurse said.. there was lots of water...she said I probably lost two lbs right there. She asked if I wanted the epi. I told her no..it wasnt hurting that bad. She told me that it was probably going to go fast now that my water was broken...so I told her sure...go get the guy. AND THEN THE CONTRACTIONS STARTED. Oh my gosh, I thought I might die. I was so glad I had told her to go get him. He came in and gave me the epi. I waited & waited for it to work. I was having contrax like every 3 minutes. I went from a 5-7-10 in like 20 minutes. The 7-10 was within like 2 minutes. The epi man came in and gave me more. Finally it started working right in time to push! I pushed though I think like 4-5 contrax 3 pushes each contrx. During one of the rests between pushes I looked at Scott and said... "You are about to be a daddy of three. It freaked me out because I was about to be a mommy of three!!! I pushed a little bit more and out he came. He was born @ 12:49 p.m. 7 lbs 8 oz. 19 1/2 inches long (so were both girls). Soooo cute. He didnt even have much of a cone head. Just perfect. After they cleaned us up it was time to call the girls. Scott called them and told Jentry. He gave me the phone to tell Brinley. I went to tell her and started bawling and had to give Scott the phone. Which got Scott crying...but he is better about talking when he's crying
