Liberty

Liberty will turn 2 months old on Friday! I cannot believe it!
This is a video I took of her this morning while we were hanging out on my bed. It is one of her favorite things to do! I can't believe she is already making baby noises and her smiles are treasures! I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

More Liberty

Its hard to believe shes already a week old! Its gone by so fast. Everyone keeps telling me to take it easy but I haven't ever had an easier birth. The only thing that has been bothering me is my incision, but even the bruises are fading and I'm not so sore. Pretty soon I'll be completely back to normal. My in laws came to visit last Thursday and we had an awesome visit. Jerry and Clint fixed our air conditioner and I couldn't be happier, and Carol noticed that Duke had an infection in his ear so we took him into the vet and got him some medication! WE also had a good dinner at Don Pedro's and just hung out and caught up. WE are headed down to see them this Friday and maybe go up the mountain. Saturday evening we took the little girls up the mountain to see the big kids and grandma and grandpa. We took a couple of short wheeler rides and had a nice dinner. I think my parents are really going to enjoy their new camper and the toys that go with it. Liberty is doing so well, she has even slept through the night 3 times this past week. She is a very easy going baby. Here are some random pics.

Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jerry with their last grand baby!

She loves to sleep in her car seat even though she is all scrunched up!

Her umbilical cord fell off and this pic is from her first real bath this morning!

She was wide awake after the bath!

And then she went right to sleep.

Peggy lent us this swing to use and Liberty wasn't sure if she liked it or not at first.

And then she crashed out in it! What a life?!?!?

Our new Arrival

On Friday night I was having pretty steady contractions and they lasted most of the night, so we had my Mom come and stay with the girls while we went to the hospital. That was at midnight and we were sent home about 1:30 saying I was only dilated to a 3 and not effaced very much. We were so bummed out we went right to bed. I woke up at 5 AM with even harder contractions and had Clint start timing them. They were lasting about a minute with 2-3 minutes in between. We decided we should get back to the hospital. They looked at us like we were crazy but I told them how much pain I was in and they decided to stick me in a tiny room and check me anyways. I think they thought I really was crazy! Well after checking me they said I would be admitted as I had made a lot of progress in those few hours. We were so excited, we called my mom and Carm and told them I would be having the baby that day. Dad, Carm and Anika were up on the mountain so they started getting ready to come down. Meanwhile I kept telling the nurse how uncomfortable I was and how I wanted my epidural as soon as I could. I was sweating so bad and they told me I couldn't even have ice chips until they got me into a birthing room! I couldn't even keep still enough to keep the monitors on. I was in so much pain I had to get up and walk around. I know the nurse thought I was crazy at this point. I had her check me again because I felt like I needed to push (still in the closet room mind you) and she did check me and she said the baby's head was right there! She and Clint hurried to wheel me into a birthing room and all I remember saying was please don't let me have my baby in the hall! After getting into the birthing room, the nurses were getting everything set up for Dr B who was on his way to the hospital. All of a sudden I knew I needed to push but they kept telling me to save my energy for the right time. When the nurse checked me again, my baby was crowning, and I had to push! All in all, I had my baby right on the bed with 2 startled nurses and a worried husband! She came out crying and she looked beautiful. I know Liberty surprised the nurses, it was kind of comical looking back now. Then the doc came in and checked us both out and said we looked fine. I had a few visitors that morning Amanda, Mom, Heber, Shae, Aunt Tee and Uncle Roger all came to see Liberty! We were so excited that our baby was still here. Carm called a few minutes later and we had to explain to her how fast Liberty made her entrance.
I was scheduled for surgery to get my tubes tied at noon so I had a couple of hours to relax before heading in. I have never had any type of surgery so I was a nervous wreck and all I could think about while lying their waiting to be knocked otu was all the bad things that could happen. None of them did though and I made it just fine. I guess a few more people had come to see the baby while I was in surgery and I had a room full of people when they wheeled me back in my room at 2 PM. Liberty has been home since Sunday night and she couldn't be a better baby! She hardly ever cries and if she does it is always a soft cry. I hope you enjoy these pictures!
