Pace is Here!

So, we changed the spelling of Pace's name.  We started out thinking we were gonna go with Payce, but we wanted to avoid all confusion and we just went with Pace.  Now everyone that reads this blog will be forever confused, sorry about that!  We thought it would be cute if both our boys had 4 letters in their names also.

Labor and delivery went ok.  I was induced at 8:30 am on Monday 4/25.  Pitocin was started and nothing happened.  2 hours later they tried to break my water, it didn't work, 1 hour later they tried again, it didn't work, another hour later they tried again and it finally worked.  I got an epidural at 12:30 pm, after my water was broke, at 2 cm dialated.  By 4 pm I was already almost 7 cm dialated and Pace's heart rate started to drop quickly.  Pace was not tolerating the pitocin and things were just moving to fast for him so they had to turn off the pitocin and give my body a break for about an hour.  After that hour, little by little they turned the pitocin back up.  Around 8-9pm I reached 8-9 cm dialated, but it took until midnight to reach 10 cm.  Pace was in there at a weird angle and they almost didn't let me push, they were worried he was stuck.  Luckily they did let me start pushing and after 2 hours of that nightmare, I finally got the little bugger out.

Prayers

Just wanted to say, it makes me so happy that Lane bows his head when we pray and we always sing a little amen, amen, amen amen amen at the end of our prayers and he sings it every time :o)   It melts my heart!

Lane is growing up!

After climbing around on a large jungle-gym, Lane decided he should try to get out of his crib.  This morning I found him just as he put this feet on the floor after climbing out.  I couldn't believe it, my little boy is almost ready for a big boy bed.  Mom isn't ready for that at all!  I knew the day would come when he tried to get out, but I guess I was just in denial.

SORRY!

First off, let me say, I am so sorry I haven't posted in like 30 days! Terrible, I know, but I can explain.


Bret and I decided we would begin the process to sell our house and move on to a bigger home. We are looking for a place to raise the boys for the next 20 or so years. And of course, we found a place we really really like, but we can't do anything until we sell our house. So, we have to get our house on the market as soon as possible to even have a chance at the "new" house. For the past month, all I have been doing is painting and cleaning out our house to get it on the market, all in the midst of being 35 - 39 weeks preggo. Fun stuff. Every wall in our house has been painted except for our bedroom. We are finally finished, and our house goes on the market Monday, 4/11.

The pictures of our house were taken yesterday afternoon, and our neighbor walked over and talked with the photographer and asked if our house was for sale. Later that afternoon, the neighbor came over and told me that his nephew may be interested in our house. How awesome would that be?!?!? We are keeping our fingers crossed!
I will post our listing, when it's ready, so you all can see it, if you like.
