Alright Alright I will post.

Sorry it has been so long. I went back to work and school so I have been a little busy. Baby Austin is doing really good. He is about 15lbs now and just a little porker. He still eats a ton and loves it. He loves his Daddy, but doesn't like to sleep. Although he is getting better at going to be at night. We can now put him in his crib and he won't scream bloody murder, he whines for a bit then goes to sleep. The other night he slept from 11:30 until 5. It was awesome to get that much sleep. He is starting to discover his hands, he will look at them while he is reaching out to get something and tries really hard to get things. He really likes to talk (babble), and smile. He is really good at it. There is a spot in our room that he stares at and smiles and talks all the time. We think it is the shadow of our lamp but we aren't too sure. Here are some pictures and I will try a video of him talking. On something unrealated to Austin. I got a hair cut. There is a pic of me and Austin where you can see it. I Really like it but I am getting it cut even shorter on Tuesday. I love having short hair it is really easy to do.

Baby Austin

Our new little Family

Never try to have a baby on a holiday

So, we went to the hospital last night to try and have a baby... I was having contractions every 2 minutes and they were lasting for 2 min. each getting harder as i got more. so we went to the hospital this was about 11:30 or so. We get there and they hook me up to the thing to monitor my contractions and to my luck they slow down. I am dialated to a 2 and 70% effaced. So what do they do they send me home cause my contractions aren't was often as they were at home.
To add to all of this I was supposed to be induced thursday at 8pm but they kept putting it on hold because they were under staffed and "full". Well by under staffed they mean that there were 4 or 5 nurses sitting at the desk doing (to my eyes) was nothing. And by full they also mean they only had 4 empty beds. They called the doctor and the doc said for me to go home because I was not far enough into "hard labor" although i was still having contractions.
I am pretty sure the doctor just didn't want to come in on the middle of the night on a "holiday". Well i am pretty sure you picked this profession and you knew there may be times when you would have to come in on a holiday. Well, I came home and had contractions all night but since they werent 1 1/2 min apart they weren't good enough contractions. So, they tell me that they can't induce people in the middle of the night or on weekends or holidays. So, today I am going to do everything I can to get him to come out. And, maybe once my water breaks I will be in "hard enough labor" that they doc will have to come in.
There is my venting for the day.

Our little family!

baby shower!!!

this is the cake Alicia and I made

Courtney threw me a baby shower this weekend. It was really fun. Here are some pictures!

Quick Update

Today was crazy!!!

I went to work which was good, then kinda hung around the house till I had to go to school. It was pirate day at school today, that was fun. I dressed like a pirate but the sword got in the way of doing hair, so I just sported the skull bandana for the rest of the day. Oh I had a pirate hat too but that also got in the way

I did non stop hair today. I cut one of the girls hair and made it look pretty. then colored Brittanys hair so she could look awesome before she went home. I whipped it out pretty quick and it looked great when we were done. We just did some cute highlights.

My Mom and I bought her plane ticket today. She is flying out June 24th and will spend a couple of days in Utah depending on how everything goes with the baby. Then she will come up here and hang out with me until the baby comes. Then my Daddy is coming out the next week. I am so excited to see them both!!!

Its hard to think that I only have 5 weeks left until Austin is due. It seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant. There is so much going on in the next month the time should just fly right by.

Well, my feet are fat cause I haven't sat since 5 today and I have to eat something cause I haven't done much of that either today. But, I thought I would get all my excitment out for the day!!!! I am so excited!!!!!

Well, he is almost here, and I am getting really excited. I am having another baby shower on June 6th. My friend Courtney is throwing it for me. I am almost prepared for him to come we just need a few more things. Mom has some stuff for baby Austin too, but I don't get that until Mom comes out.

Jake's Mom is going to come and stay with us from the beginning on July until Jake gets out of school just to help around here while Jake is at school and work all day. She is such a big help.
