My Dear Little Boy is Sick

Austin was in the hospital with pneumonia:(
He was really sick. Very high temp, rapid breathing, coughing, vomiting. Very Scary!
Oxogen level at 90. which is low.
He is doing much better now. He was released from the hospital a couple days ago.
We have had an adventure this past week.
I am so thankful that Austin is better, it was such a struggle to see him so sick.
Thank Goodness my mom was here to help.

Something cute Austin said, I was holding Austin in bed while he was sick, then we heard Avery start to cry "Mom, my baby sister needs your milk, GO!" My little Austin is so sweet!

The Birth Story Of Avery Ann

1/17/2008
I had my OB appointment with Dr. Graham at 11:00 am.
She checked and I was dilated to a 3+, which didn't mean much considering that i had been dilated for 3 weeks.
I came home around noon, started having contractions, and we left for the hospital around 1:00pm.

We were checked in by 1:30

Need to make sure my mom was on her way from Reno
bye, bye to big belly
Walking the halls...

Birthing Ball

Back labor is NO fun!
Anesthesiologist hooked me up to a low-epidural, which was perfect, took the edge off, but still could feel every contraction. Right after that...
Dr. Graham arrived and broke my water at 6-7 centimeters
20 minutes after my water was broke I was dilated to a 10


Nurse went to tell the Dr. that I was ready to push.
Get ready, get set...
After 15 min. of pushing Avery arrived. 6:32 pm
That's a big girl...

My mom didn't make it on time. She was at Seattle airport getting picked up when Avery arrived:( Almost Mom!
