Our little bundle of blessing finally decided to make her grand entrance on Saturday, September 11, 2o10… at 9:50 in the evening!!! She weighs 7 lbs and 12 oz. Height is 21 inches. Head circumference was 13 1/4. 
Welcome sweet girl!
We have been waiting to meet you and give you lots of love!
Dark, curly hair!
Hello bright eyes!
Kissy kissy!
Kylie meets her new little sister….priceless!
Today is a day we will always remember at our house. First, for all the lives that were lost and for their families. Second, on this day…I was having surgery in Augusta Georgia on this day nine years ago. When I went in all was fine, when I came out…well, tragedy.
Casey is still hurting some, but still a dull pain. She sent Bart on to go hunting, Kylie is here playing, I am going to a shower for a sweet young lady that I coached many years ago and I love her dearly! Can not believe she is old enough to be having a little one!!!
As I am telling Casey that I am ready to go and for her to call me if she needs me….(she is sitting at my desk on the computer) She said, either I just wet my pants or my water is breaking, it is just a drizzle. I said, well maybe Isabella is on your bladder. Casey said, well I do not feel like I need to go. I said, well you may want to call and talk to them about it. She said, I will and I will call you. I told her I would not stay long, but I was supposed to help Cayla paint afterwards…she said I will call if anything is happening.
I leave, got in the interstate and she calls. They said I need to come up there and let them check this out. I said….do I need to get off at the next exit and come back home to get Kylie. No, Casey said, I am taking Ky by to Amber and she can play with Hunter for a while. I am going to go ahead and wash my hair before I go and you go on to the shower! I told her to bring my camera…..I knew if I left it she would go on in to labor, we had been so prepared to weekend before for her and she is going to wait for us to be unprepared!!!
I did go on to the shower!
We did not want to tell anyone because it could be a false alarm, and that is a pain anyway you look at it. I did tell WB. Cayla was at Grandma’s, and has been driving us crazy with call after call…anything yet? she would ask, oh man….I am tired of waiting she would say. Over and over…so we did not want to false alarm her for sure…lol!
I went to a lovely shower and so many asked….no baby yet? No, not yet….but real soon I would say! If not today….then I feel for sure Monday! Tressie got many cute things and I was so glad I got an invite! And may I just say that she looked absolutely beautiful!!!! So sweet and exciting! I told them I enjoyed it and left after about an hour!
Had to keep myself from running to the car! Grabbed my phone and Casey and Bart were just dropping Ky off at Ambers. Amber was so sweet to help us out at this special time!!!
I called Cayla, she was waiting on me. I told her that I did not think we were going to be able to paint today. Why not? Well, your sister is on her way to the hospital…..what….oh boy…well come by here and get me cause I am going!!! I told her to meet me, she said, no…come get me!!!
So I did, and on the way I called Bart again. I asked if she was still leaking….he asked Casey, just as she was standing up….then I heard Amber say…let me get you a towel Casey…then I knew for sure that her water was breaking!!! Casey said….yes, my whole pants are wet!!!
I told Cayla to hurry and get dressed or I was going to leave her!!! She ran in and got her make-up and clothes, and off we went. She asked about the camera, I told her they had it with them!
We called WB, then on to SGMC. We got to the second floor waiting room, not a person there. CJ went, picked up the phone and they told us she was on her way up. In about 5 minutes here they came, up the elevator…at first they were just going to evaluate her, but once they talked to her….oh no, you are staying….of course we knew that!!! We called G-Ma, and Buffy and let them know!
Bart decided he had better stay home just in case Casey went into full labor, her contractions were 8-10 apart for a while, then went to 20, but they are not strong! I got Kylie to school, Cole is taking care of the lawn service, and WB is taking care of all his work and Cole’s watering!
Casey is so uncomfortable, they did try to go to the mall and walk…but she was so tired from being up all night that they did not stay long. I suggested some rest! They have been walking at night a good bit the past couple of weeks and they have not walked her out yet, so rest and get ready for labor!
They came home and napped and I went and got Kylie and brought her home. We cooked supper, Ryan and Cayla came over and played some card games with them. I was tired myself, so I went to bed. Papa, Kylie and me….snugs as bugs!!!
Well, it is Thursday night and Casey is having pains, they are not close together, but she is having some. They decided they would stay at our house tonight, with having Kylie and her in school, someone has to stay with her and get her to school. We decided that if Isabella comes in the night, Papa would have her and he could get her to school the next day. We will let her see her baby sister after she gets here! I am a little nervous!
Today Kylie and Papa were watching a program. Papa said…well I guess he is going to be her boyfriend now. Kylie looks down at the floor and mumbles….Ihaveaboyfriend. Papa told her he could not hear her, what did you say, honey. She mumbled it again…..he picked her up and got his ear close to her mouth. Then he heard it…I have a boyfriend, his name is Paaker(Parker). Papa…you have a boyfriend??? You are to young for a boyfriend. Yep, she said…he kissed me on the cheek and I kissed him back. Papa….you are way to young to be kissing boys, young lady. No more kissing!!!
Yes after I talked to her I found out this took place in PE, now we know why she wants to just go for PE and then come home!!!
Went with Casey to the doctor today. She had dilated a little more and had thinned a little more. The mid-wife told her to come back next week , since your not past your due date…..yes I am, it was yesterday….we told her, again! Then she said, well since it is your first child…..we said, no this is the second child, it was in the computer wrong. Once we told her it was the second, then everything changed a little bit. We told her what happened with Kylie’s birth and so on, then she did a little prep work to possibly get some contractions going. I just told her that Casey was miserable and was ready to have her and that she would rather not wait another full week.
She took us to her office, called Marie and talked with her nurse. They will call us maybe about inducing on Monday. Before we could get out of the check-out Marie had them tell her to wait. We did and we will be having a baby on Monday, if she does not come before! Yeah!!!
I mean, well hello people, Casey is so short and this baby is just getting bigger and bigger…it is time! Come on Monday!
Well, Isabella was due on the 8th and she decided she still likes her home!!! Doctor appt. tomorrow! I am going this time to hear what they may plan to do.
We have been getting ready for Isabella to arrive. I have cleaned my house and Casey’s house. Helped her pack her bags, got the nursery ready…..and she is still loving her home!!! WB said, I think you must have Casey’s nesting urge. Well, we both had it….but you know how house work is…never finished!!! And Casey is so preggers that she just can not do some things!
We always go some where on labor day weekend….not this year…we will sit home and wait, just in case!!!
WB played in a golf tourney and hunted, so he was happy!
