2 Kids Later....



So since the last post we've added to our growing family, a sweet baby boy named Knoxx. Our two kiddos could not be more different from each other!



This is just before we left for the hospital..Harley woke up at 6:30 while we were getting ready to go, this did NOT make it any easier for me to leave knowing we were not going to be a 1 kid family ever again.




Our precious baby boy, Knoxx Brady

So our birth story (this is more for me, because I never wrote it down!) goes something like this. I was due on May 20th, but Knoxx didn't want to come then, even though he had been causing me a lot of pain for about 2 weeks prior, so on May 22nd we decided it was time to give him his eviction notice. We got to the hospital around 7:30a and got all prepped and ready in the room. We had an awesome nurse who of course had son's that went to high school with Brady (he knows EVERYBODY) so we just hung out for almost 2 hours watching some tv, then my mom got there (after she dropped Harley off at Brady's mom's) and we watched some more tv and my mom and Brady decided to read every name in this lame baby name book that had the stupidest names ever in it. and about 9:10 they broke my water and started the pit, no pain no gain right? So I labored through some contractions, laughing in between and having a dandy time, and then came the tears and the real pain, and my husband stayed in the chair across the room haha about 12 I wanted my epidural ( I was born in this day and age for a reason) It took a little longer than expected because apparently he didn't hear me tell him I had scoliosis so he was fishing around back there (talk about painful) but I knew what the result would be so I pressed on and silently cried (seriously, he didn't know I was crying until he saw my shoulders shaking) so we get that all set up and then it only numbed my left side (buzz kill!!) so I kept telling my nurse and I laid on my right side, and I did this and that, and nothing worked...so my happy drug man came back..and within 20 minutes we had things all figured out...I was ready to get my nap in before I had to push...HA!! within 20min I went from being dialated to a 6 to a 10...(no nap for me)...so my nurse decides we should wait to push until my doctor is in the hospital which was probably like 10min (I was trying to nap)...so they had me get in pushing position..what. a. joke. I couldn't feel ANYTHING! Not even when I was having contractions so Brady and my mom had to literally hold my dead weight legs, and I just did was I thought was efficient pushing haha...all the while my doctor is sitting on the couch talking about his recent trip to Moab and how he went dirtbiking (he was good friends with my happy drug man)...and about 45min later and after I laughed between contractions little baby boy entered this wonderful world. He was 7lbs 5oz and 20.5in He is the sweetest baby boy ever!
