8 Months Old...

I can't believe that my baby is 8 months old! WOW, how time flies. She is getting so big . She can do so many things like; sit all by herself, feed her self finger foods, hold her own bottle, smile at everything, laugh, roll all over the place, get to her belly from a sitting position, has her two bottom teeth, slither on her belly backwards ( hasn't quite figured out how to crawl ). She is the happiest baby I have ever seen! Always laughing and smiling. She loves to go shopping and sit in the cart, go for walks, play in her Jumperoo, and hang out with her mom and dad. She sleeps from 7pm until 6am and takes two naps. Her morning nap she will sleep between 2-3 hours and her afternoon nap will sleep between 1 1/2-2 hours. She has the best personality. I just love and adore this little princess.

Lumpy's Downtown

On Saturday night, Jake and I went to Lumpy's for my brother Kyle's birthday. It was the first time we have left Brinley over night. We left her at my mom's house and she did wonderful! We had a great time. It was nice to see all of my brothers friends. I am still trying to recoperate after our late night and a few drinks.

Brinley's 1st Photo Shoot

These pictures are from Brinley's first photo shoot when she was 2 weeks old. We had them done at a place called Peekaboo Photos. She did such a wonderful job, we are going back for her 1st birthday pictures.

Random Pictures of Brinley

So since I haven't been keeping up with my blog here are a few pictures of Brinley. She is now 6 1/2 months old. She has two teeth, rolls all over the place, eats solids, almost sitting all by herself, and has a darling personality!

Seeing Santa

Hello all my blogger friends. Just getting back in the swing of things. We took Brinley to see santa the day after Thanksgiving and she did great.

The Story...

On Sunday July 5 I started to have bad back pain and pelvic pressure. Around 11:30pm I had Jake take me to labor and delivery at St. Mark's, I couldn't take the pain any longer. My contractions were 5 minutes apart. We got checked in and hooked up to monitors. My contractions were 5-6 minutes apart but very strong. I was still dilated to a 1! They called my doctor and he told them to give me a shot of Morphine and send me home so I could get some sleep and I would see him at my appointment the next day. Monday morning comes around and I start getting the same pains but my contractions are 3-4 minutes apart. My appointment was at 3pm so I thought I would stick it out till then. I had Jake leave work early so he could take me since I was in no condition to drive. I get to his office, having contractions in the waiting room! The nurse calls me back and immediately my doctors says you are having this baby tonight so you need to go to labor and delivery. We get there and again they get me hooked up to the monitors, start an I.V., and get my Epidural in. At this time I am still dilated to a 1. My doctor comes in and breaks my water and loosens the scar tissue around my cervix from my previous surgeries that was keeping me from dilating. Within 2 hours I was dilated to a 3+. After about another 3 hours I was dilated to a 9+. I was very surprised that I dilated on my own with no Pitosin! Around midnight I started to push. I pushed for 2 and a half hours with no progress. My doctor came in and had me push for him a couple of times to make sure I was not progressing. Which I was not. He also tried to turn the baby since she was looking up, instead of down, so her head was stuck in my pelvis. So at 2:30am we decided to do a C-section. She was born at 2:55am at 9lbs. 3oz. and 21 1/2 inches long.

Finally Here....

Brinley Rae Jordison was born on July 7, 2009 at 2:55am by C-section. She weighted a whopping 9lbs. 3oz. and 21 inches long.

Final Baby Shower...

On Saturday I had my final baby shower at my sister-in-laws house. We had some great food like chicken salad sandwiches, salad, fruit, shrimp, and vegetables. For dessert we had chocolate covered raspberries and strawberries and chocolate dipped butterfly cookies. I got some awesome stuff too. I got my pack n play, clothes, gift cards, bottle warmer, wipes warmer, drying rack, blankets, diapers, burp cloths, and so much more. Thanks to my sister-in-law Kaydee for putting it all together and to everyone else who helped her.

Baby Update...

Yesterday I went to see my doctor for my 36 week check up. They took my weight, blood pressure, which was 118/78, and did a urinalysis. He listened to her heartbeat at 145 BPM. He measured me and I am measuring right on target. I am 75% thinned and almost dilated to a 1. They also did a swab to make sure I don't have Strep B in the birth canal. He checked my hands and face for swelling, which I didn't have any. My feet are a little swollen but nothing to be worried about. Everything is looking good so far. I go back next week, so I will keep everyone posted.

Baby Update...

Today I went to the doctor for my 34 week check up. Everything looks great. They took my weight, did a urinalysis, and took my blood pressure, which was 108/78. He measured me and I am measuring right on target. He heard the heartbeat at 150 BPM. He also felt my abdomen to see if she is head down and she is! He checked me for swelling, none so far. I go back in two weeks on June 1. I will keep everyone posted.

Baby Shower #3...

On Saturday my aunts, grandma, and cousins threw me a baby shower. We had it at my mom's house out in the backyard. We had a light lunch and played two games. I got so much stuff!! I got her swing, clothes, diapers, a diaper cake, blankets, her baby book, washcloths, hooded towels, frames, and activity gym, just to name a few. Thanks to everyone who helped with the shower.
