Sean Eldon Robison is here!!!!

Sean Eldon Robison was born this morning at 5:13am. I went into labor around 1:30am and knew that I was starting labor. I woke Jordan up at 2:00am and said I better call Mom and Julie and get them here this is getting more intense. So I called and got them on their way and then called my Doula, Becky. She answered the phone and was like I was just thinking now would be a good time for you to go into labor. We decided to meet once Julie and Mom got to our house. So we left for the midwife clinic, Julie, Jordan, and me at about 3:00am. When I got there Becky started filling the tub and I labored on the bed a little and then got into the bathtub. My contractions were getting more and more intense and I knew my labor wasn't going to last long. My contractions kept piggybacking and not really letting up like they are supposed to, so by 4:58am, when the second midwife showed up, I said I felt like I needed to push and Inga, my midwife said then start pushing. So from 4:58am to 5:13am I pushed and he was born. Inga said I had one of the fastest types of births, which I loved cause it hurt like heck!!!! I have never felt so much pain in my life, but so much joy and relief when I held that little guy. I gave birth to him on my hands and knees in the tub and they had me swing my leg around him so I could hold him. I love how I have felt and would not do a hospital birth again. Everything about this has been awesome, especially the afterbirth. We came home today at about 11:00am and have felt great. Jace was so excited to see Sean and loved on him LOTS! My mom took him to her house so Jordan, Sean and I could rest which was wonderful. So far it has been amazing and such a blessing to experience!
As you can see in some of the pics, Sean has a very red and purple face. That is because he was delivered so fast that it caused a little bit of bruising. He will have a lot different color by tomorrow. We will add more pics to show everyone.
Sean weighed 8lbs 15ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long.

Easter Time!

Easter was for Jace probably not as exciting as it was for his cousins. He didn't get an Easter basket and the Easter bunny did not visit our house, but thankfully he has family that cares. His Aunt Jeni did an Easter egg hunt for her two kids and Jace which was very nice because Jace's poor mother really has no motivation to do much except what I have to right now. He loved it and got a baggy full of candy after opening his eggs. The funniest thing was probably his cousin Lexi getting her hand stuck in the exhaust of their family car trying to retrieve an egg. Sunday was Easter dinner with my family and yummy but pretty uneventful. Jace had fun playing with his cousins Easter basket toys and eating some of their candy. Next year hopefully the Easter bunny will be a little more motivated to give a great Easter basket!!!

Sick little guy...again :(

So, Jace is sick again. Cold's seem to do more than what I remember cold's doing to me and what they seem to do to other children. Since July of last year he has had either a cold or fever in the months of July, September, October, December, I think February, and now March! Jace started out with just a runny nose and cough. Very manageable. Well, the last 72 hours his ears have decided to take part and start dripping and oozing blood, wax, and other strange liquids yet to be identified. Thankfully, we put tubes in his ears a year ago but it seems he still has problems. He's been waking up at night for like 2 hours and can't go back to bed which is annoying for a pregnant women and her now sick husband. So, thankfully we have Jace's 2 year old well check tomorrow with his Dr. so we shall see what she says. Hopefully, this all can be over soon and Jace can feel good, his mom can feel good, and his dad can feel good too! Whew, what a month! Just glad this didn't happen in April cause the baby would be on it's way!!! ( This was his new shirt and hat from Grandma and Grandpa Robison-he loves hats cause daddy wears one like everyday)

Hotsling for a hotmama?

So, I first saw these baby carriers on Nordstroms website and thought ohhh how cute and easy. These baby carriers look way cuter and more comfortable than the Moby wrap I used with Jace. So I sold my moby wrap on Craigslist and ordered my Hotsling. I hope it works better and is more comfortable. I sure hope I look hot ;) in this Hotsling! I'll need all the help I can get when this baby arrives!

It's My Birthday and I'll...

So, yesterday was my birthday and not super eventful as I'm coming to find out as I am getting "older". But it was still fun. We went to my favorite restaurant, The Max in Spokane, and had dinner. It was super yummy and the atmosphere is so cool. I love going there and the food is always so good, no matter what you order it seems! It was fun to go with Jord, and of course I forgot the camera, partly because I'm new at this blog thing and also cause I'm prego and Jordan says I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached. He gave me some spending cash for fun, so we'll see if Nordy's gets it or somewhere online :)! He takes such good care of me and makes me feel so special. I feel so grateful to have married Jord and I know that the Lord placed him in my path for a reason. Then my good friend Shawn stopped by later that night to see me. She is so awesome and I'm so grateful to have her in my life too. She gave me beautiful tulips, ice cream, and this cute DVD of Jace's birth that made me cry both times I've watched it. I'll try to post it on here so you can watch it if you want. So it wasn't super eventful but still so fun to be with my love and relax!

Happy Birthday Jace!!!!

We celebrated Jace's 2nd birthday today! We had Julie, Billy, Tyler, Nathan, Ryan, Jeni, Casey, Brantley, Lexi, Travis, and Briana. So, basically, just family. It was fun and Jace got lots of fun presents from his cousins. Jordan and I looked at each other tonight and couldn't believe we have a 2 year old. He is getting so big and getting to be so funny!

Being a mother of a boy...and one on the way!! AWWW

So, this past weekend was supposed to be calm and not eventful. Jace changed all that within minutes. Jordan was out of town and we were just making it as fun a weekend as we could the two of us. My mom took us out on Friday night for our birthdays to Red Robin, our fav place for a burger and then took me to get some casual comfy clothes to wear after the birth and some new clothes for Jace and the baby. It was super nice of her and a lot of fun to just be the three of us. The night wore me out though because I was chasing Jace around the mall and lifting him and moving him and he doesn't like sitting still in his stroller. So by the time we got home Friday night I was exhausted. Saturday morning, I had my last birth class so Jace went to his favorite babysitters house, Riley, and I went to the class and then to a baby shower. When we both were home I thought oh good, naptime for both of us as it had already been a long day. Well Jace decided a nap of 40 minutes was all he needed as a he awoke from it screaming saying he was scared. So naptime was over pretty much before it began. So we played outside, did some stuff around the house, ate dinner, and then took a bath. Well after bathtime about 6:30pm. I turned on a show for him so he could start quieting down. Well Jace decided as I turned off a few of lights he wanted them on. So he got in the back of his toy dump truck to go and turn the lights on. Well when the lights didn't turn on where he wanted them to he moved the dump truck onto our tile floor and commensed to stand in the back of it on the tile to turn the light on. As I saw him doing this I yelled out to him "Jace stop you are going to get hurt" well he did it anyway and fell to the floor head first. He started screaming and I knew it wasn't good. As I picked him up blood was filling his mouth and I was mad at him for not listening and for now being hurt. I couldn't believe how much blood just kept coming and filling his mouth as I tried to put wet washclothes on it. I started to panic because the blood wasn't stopping. So my first response was to call my neighbor who is an EMT and see if he could come over and look at his mouth. Well I called and they weren't home and he said get him to immediate care. So off we go as fast as we can to immediate care. We get there and his lip isn't bleeding as bad but still doesn't look good. So the Dr. there looks at him and says I can do it but you'll have to hold him down to do it and I think it's going to traumatize him. He suggested that we go to the ER and have them knock him out and sew up his lip. Oh, and yes he bit completely through his lip. Little stinker :). So off we go to the ER in CDA and to make a long story short, they gave him a shot of something that hypnotizes the child so they can't really see but can hear and it makes them relax and lay still. So I watched the Dr. sew up his lip and was amazed at how well he did and recovered afterward. We finally got home at about 10:30pm and I was so exhausted emotionally and physically I was crying trying to get Jace to go to bed...he didn't want to go to bed, imagine that!!!! So we went through all that to have him toss and turn all night in bed with me, to wake up in the morning and discover that the stitches on the inside of his lip were out. Yep not even 8 hours later and they were gone. Wow, can't wait to pay for those stitches. So back to the ER after we picked up Jordan from the airport. They said everything looked fine and that he should recover well. So through all of this I probably could have just had my dad, whose a Dentist, just look at him and tell me he didn't need stitches. But like they say you panic and literally can't think when these things happen. I didn't think about calling my dad until the Dr. was sewing Jace up. So I am looking forward to having Jace doing better...and having another boy, well we shall see :)
