Wildlife Park

Paul and his mom took Mason and Hadley to the wildlife park when she was here a couple of weeks ago! They LOVED all the animals! It looks like they had lots of fun. I cant believe how close they let you get to the animals. This is what me and Kenley did instead of going!

Hadley was having a bad hair day!

Adjusting

Well Kenley has been here for 4 days, and we are all slowly adjusting. We have had Paul's mom here since the night I went in to have her. She's a pediatric nurse, and I must say its been soo nice having my own live-in nurse for the past week! She is leaving tomorrow and my mom is coming, so that will be nice to have another set of hands for the week! Mason is completely in LOVE with Kenley! Hadley's still not too sure what she thinks of her quite yet. Paul finished his finals today, and will be moving to Tuba City for the summer for his residency rotation in a couple of weeks. I am terrified to have him leave! I just hope he can come home often for visits! So now on to the birth story. It really was an easy delivery. We went in late Friday night/Saturday morning to get induced. We got there and got all checked in at around 3:30. They hung the pitosin at 10, then I got my epidural soon after that. Paul and the anesthesiologist were chumming it up and totally giving a play by play of the procedure, which grossed me out! I had a little reaction to the epidural. Low blood pressure, itching and just not feeling quite right. They got me some medicine, and it quickly went away. I took a little nap, then at around 12, the nurse checked me and I was ready to go. I was super numb, so she said I can just hang out and not push for a while. At that point, Paul's mom came to the hospital to see the birth, then my doctor came in. Paul called my mom so she could hear what was going on and the gender announcement. I pushed twice and out she came! The doctor held her up and we all said "its a girl!!" That was soo fun! If I have anymore babies, I will definitely be surprised again! I was so sure that she was going to be a boy, but very happy she wasn't. We didnt have a boy name picked out, so that made it nice!

A little Sister!

Pine Cone Bird Feeders

Last night we made pine cone bird feeders. Mason has been obsessed with our neighbor's birdd feeder, so we decided to make our own. He had so much fun rolling the cones in the bird seed. Hadley was more interested in eating the bird seed than any thing else. This is definitely an outdoor activity! Even if you are 13 months pregnant in Phoenix, in May, tough it out and do it outside! I think im going to be cleaning up bird seed until Christmas!
