Too Controversial???

I pulled this from Crystal’s blogsite.

It never made it into the SuperBowl air time.

What do you think?

Latest Update

November 10, 2008 in Paxton, Pregnancy with 4 Comments

I’m so glad my husband stepped it up and guest posted here when I couldn’t. Even now… he’s posting this for me.

Because our birth suite doesn’t have internet connection (though they claim to), all I could do was write this up before hand and have him copy and paste over when he got home.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers. We’ve definitely needed it. Actually… I should just say I needed it. This cesarean wasn’t as “in & out” as I had hoped… but the nursing staff has assured me this isn’t uncommon in a second time c-section patient. I’ll just believe them. After all, they’ve taken VERY good care of me and Paxton. I have nothing but positive things to say about the maternity nurses at St. Vincent’s.

Paxton is perfect! He’s the sweetest little angel baby in the world. He only cries when he’s telling us he’s uncomfortable and it’s always easily fixed. We thought Chance was an easy baby… well, so far, Paxton is even easier. He IS pretty active though.

It’s pretty cool to see all his flailing arms and legs in action. It’s basically what I felt when he was in utero so it’s no big surprise… but AWESOME to see and not just feel.

Chance has been doing pretty well with the transition. It’s difficult to be away from both Mom and Dad for 4 days. My Mom has been great, being the in-between. She’s been the constant at the house so Chance can nap and sleep in his own bed. She’s even made meals for everyone. My Mom is staying for the next week to help us transition back into the house. We all know I’ll be worthless with this gash in my belly.

My sister, Renee, and her husband, Jason, also came up from California for the weekend. They mostly entertained Chance… but they came to the hospital everyday at least once to fight over their turn to hold Paxton. Literally… they would “rock-paper-scissor” for him then the winner would gloat. Hilarious!

Except for the first night, Brian has been home every night to help Chance feel more “normal”… and of course to sleep in his own bed instead of the crappy pull-out the hospitals have for these poor dads.

We’re checking out tomorrow sometime around noon. I’m partly excited… and partly scared… because this is where real life begins.

I’ll try to keep up with blogging, but don’t be upset if I don’t. I don’t feel 100% right now and I currently have help here at the hospital. I imagine I’ll be pretty much out of it once I’m home, so all your prayers are STILL appreciated and needed.

Mommy is doing much better and getting some rest.

Mommy and Baby Update

November 8, 2008 in Family, Jenni, Paxton, Pregnancy with 5 Comments

Brian again writing on behalf of Jenni:

So Yesterday went perfectly, Jenni was recovering quickly and baby slept most of the day. In the evening he woke up for the last few visitors and was just as happy as a clam. I don’t know why clams are so happy……Anyway, Jenni encouraged me to go home to see Chance and get a good night sleep, so I didn’t argue one bit.

I spent an hour with Chance and helped him get ready for bed. Renee and Jason had taken him to Barnes and Noble after dinner to read some books in the kids area. Normally when we take him, we don’t buy anything but hot chocolate or a cookie. This time he got some cookies and had a great time. When they came home he was so happy and giggly and I just loved on him. Then we took a bath and when we went to his room to get his pj’s on, there was a book on his floor. He was so excited, Jason had surprised him with the book they had been reading at the store.

I told Chance he could watch a short show and read his book before bed. He was such a good boy it made me very proud.

After Chance went to bed I was able to put a post on my blog and finally send out an email to a few people with pictures. I ended up going to sleep about 11:30 thinking all was well with Mom and Baby. This morning I woke up about 6:15 and decided to check my phone for messages. There was a couple of texts from Jenni that had come in around 1:00am letting me know that she had gotten a bad fever and that Paxton was in the nursery. So much for sleeping in:-( I hurried and took a shower, got dressed and headed back to the hospital.

When I got here Jenni was sleeping and her temp was back down to normal or close. They were concerned about infection and gave her some antibiotics last night which seemed to control the situation. I think she will be fine but she has some bad bruising below her incision. Right after I got here they brought Paxton back to the room and he was sleeping soundly. I just held him and adored him then I got to change a poopy. He woke and was clearly hungry so Mommy is feeding and I am down in the cafeteria doing the update.

Keep praying for speedy recovery, God is good and I know she will be fine. Here are a couple more pics for you.

Welcoming Baby Paxton!

This will be short since Mom is in recovery and Dad is managing photos and video. We are so thrilled and proud of our newest addition. He is adorable, in our humble opinions.

Paxton First Bath

He weighs 7lbs, 10 Oz’s his length is 19.5 inches and his head was a whopping 14 inches around. Wow, it was so much easier this time around and right on schedule. Jenni is doing great and just now starting to feel her body again. The pain is about to become real for her, fortunately she is tough.
