Baylee Rae

We have a baby! I went to my doctors appointment on thursday morning and due to high blodd pressure the doctor decided it wasn't safe to let me wait any longer and sent me to labor and delivery to be enduced. I was really really nervous and already had pitocin and contractions when Marcus got there, which was noon. They broke my water at three, my contractions got stronger, I got the epidural around 4:30, which was amazing, I don't know why I waited so long, and then we just sat and waited and waited, finally at about 4:30 the next morning the doctor came in and said I was running a high fever, and was only dilated to a seven! she said to wait about an hour to give me one more chance and then they would do a C section. an hour later I was only an eight. Next thing I know they start making me swallow some nasty pills and gave me a stronger epidural and then wheeled me into the OR. I was so drugged all I remember was hearing her cry and then Marcus was holding Baylee next to me and she was adorable! He was so excited he got to bathe her and pick out her cute bow.

We stayed in the hospital until sunday night. The nurses were all great and Baylee is a good little sleeper! I'm still in some pain around the incision but its getting better! Heres some pictures I know every parent says this but I'm pretty sure I have the cutest little girl ever!

Baby Shower

Im super late getting things posted, but on the 13th my cousins threw me a baby shower. and I-80 got closed down and I was stuck in my car for 5 hours and completely missed my own baby shower!! I was really upset for a couple of days but there wasn't anything i could do about it. I did make it to the shower in time though to see some of my family. I tell you what those thank you cards were kind of awkward to make, it went kind of like, Thank you for comming to my shower! Sorry i didn't see you! ha it's a funny story now but I really was upset!

Zachs Graduation

Today was my little brothers graduation. He was the last one in the family to graduate. Afterwards my family went to Famous Daves for dinner before he took off with his friends.

Quick Update

I'm ready for this baby! We bought the travel system finally! It took me a while to decide which brand I wanted and what colors I wanted. My sister sent me a coupon for travel systems at Babies R us so I decided on the Chicco Synergy Red and tan system. Reds not my most favorite color but now that its set up I love it and its super Easy to use!!
As far as school goes I finished the salon work at the beginning of May so I didn't have to be at school anymore, but I had to wait for the Finals at the end of the month. One final is written and one is an actual hands on. The hands on was stressful to get ready for. Everything has to be labeled and you have to remain 100% sanitary at all times, for example, you pick something up off the table and use it, you cant put it back down. Sounds easy but its easy to forget about. My mom was my model, she was a good sport becasue its a 2 1/2 hour test and your model can't talk or look at you. I had to say several times, mom whatever you do, DO NOT talk to me! She did well I was shocked. I passed the hands on, and i had to take the written twice. The first time I took it I failed by 1% I got a B but you have to get an A. The second time was a breeze though! The test was 105 questions and was mostly Anatomy. YES, anatomy. I was proud of myself. So i recieved my Graduation papers yestrerday and can take state boards at any time now!

Marcus still remains really busy with work! Which were thankful for but I do get bored. When your baby can come at any time, and your at home alone with nothing to do and no car(my car is broke) time drags!! Were off to Park City for the weekend my parents rented a condo for two nights. My older brother and his wife are in town for Zachs Graduation so we decided to have a get away. It will be nice to be entertained for a few days!
