"We just found out that I'm pregnant again! It was quite a shock. We were being really responsible and not expecting it at all. But we're really excited and I know that this baby needs to come now. I really hope its a girl. But I guess we'll see. I'm due Feb 17, so Ty and the baby will be like a year apart. Crazy! I'm nervous and scared but I know I can do it because I have lots of help."

"Well, I'm still pregnant...but I've been getting contractions that I can feel all morning and I lost my mucous plug so at least I know its coming soon. The contractions aren't too hard, I can still walk and talk through them, so Ryan went to work. No point in him waiting around here when it could be awhile before I'm in hard labor. He's still planning on taking the boys out to Cardston today. He has a job out there so the plan is for him to take the boys out around 11:00am and then do the job. So if nothing changes with these contractions then that is still a go. I hope it all works out. I need these boys gone. I'm just too tired and cranky to deal with it."

"This has been the longest week of my life! First of all McKenna was born @ 4:41am on Feb. 22. It seemed like a long labor, but the easiest. I was getting contractions for 2 days but they would be regular for awhile then completely stop for awhile, and they were always 5 min apart or more and not too strong. It was a little frustrating. Connie had the boys so I was able to relax. Then @ 11:00pm on the 21st they started getting closer so we headed to the hospital. I was already dilated to 7 cm and the labor hadn't even been that bad. I was like Yeah! This is going to go quick. But like 5 hours later I had her. I got the epidural though so I didn't even feel any of the hard stuff. I pushed her out in about 10min. She weighed 7 pds 7 oncs and about 19 3/4 inches long. We only stayed in the hospital for like 13 hours. I wanted to get the heck out of there, and McKenna and I were both doing well enough. She is so beautiful! We all just adore her! She's a week old now and is doing very well and growing tons. This has been my fastest recovery. I'm doing very good. I tried nursing the first day but when it started to get hard I decided to not even try anymore. I've actually really been enjoying McKenna at the newborn stage. Ryan's been home all week so Its been nice. Regular life will start again tomorrow."
I'm so glad you came when you did McKenna Ray! You are an important piece of our family and we love you tons! Happy Birthday!
