Our beautiful baby boy!

We’re home!


Welcome our beautiful son, Talon Gregory.



Boy oh boy that was not the hospital trip I planned! The c/s went just fine even though I was so worried. We got our boy and everyone was so surprised. They only showed me the baby over the sheet for .4 seconds. I told my husband it was okay to let go of my hand and go to the baby, make sure it really was a he and all was good.



The next day or two was uneventful really. Talon and I developed something called Coombs factor, this happened sometime between 24 and 39 weeks. It is a blood “disorder” similar to the Rh factor. Anyhow, it can cause serious jaundice for Talon and would affect any subsequent pregnancies for me, although there won’t be any of those ♥



Talon has been under the lights for several days. Me, something a bit more odd. After my c/s my GI tract just decided not to function. Everything I ate came up a couple of hours later with severe pain as you can imagine after a c/s. This started about 2 days in. I was so sick! I had to be on an IV again and oxygen along with anti-nausea meds and morphine. It was really bad and very painful.



We were released on Saturday and all is mostly good now although I am still nervous about my body and on a mostly liquid diet. Talon is still going in everyday to get his bilirubin checked.
Our whole family is super excited to add a new baby boy to our home. What a thrill it was to tell everyone.



I just made this quick collage of Talon & some family. These are the only pic’s I have uploaded so far.



A very exciting home we have. I feel very lucky and blessed to make it though this journey and to finally have our son home in our arms. ♥ YAY♥

Hannah's 14th Birthday!





We haven’t seen much of Kianna & Hannah this summer. They have been spending most of it at relative’s homes, avoiding their family and jobs!

They are home for a minute before they go off to trek next week.

Here are some photos from Hannah’s 14th birthday. Fellow party goers: Cheyenne, London & Britton.

A pineapple story...


Ohhhhhhhh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea....

I was cutting up a pineapple for a fruit salad and London was in the kitchen with me. She looks at me incredulity and states rather angrily, "Why are you cutting up Sponge Bob's house!"

Want to sleep here?


Greg, Kianna and Hannah were on an overnighter. That means there are fights as to who gets to sleep in my bed with me. It was supposed to be just Cheyenne. This is what I woke in the night to...and moved myself into the Lazy Boy as well!
