I have loved and I really mean LOVED having two babies to spend my days with...but... it seems I have had a little difficulty fitting in anything other than diapers, feedings, baths, toddler games and an occasional meal and a little sleep. Naturally ye ol blog has taken a little hit, but I feel strongly that part of my role is to archive our family. I love birth stories and I bet my girls will love to read their's one day. So, here I am attempting to catch up- please disregard all dates, and pretend it's - oh let's say around January 28th...</div><div><br /></div><div>So Eden was born at 38 weeks to the day, and I had convinced myself that Cannon would come a tad earlier. After all, "the books" say that 2nd babies typically come sooner. I was 38 weeks on January 25th and nothing- not even a twinge. So...now what? Everyone says that each pregnancy is different and every baby is different, but it's really impossible not to compare and wonder- isn't it!? Well I didn't have to wait long. Around 2am on Tuesday the 26th I woke up and knew immediately it was a contraction. I jumped into work mode (mentally jumped because...well... I was huge).</div><div><br /></div><div>I had a contraction timer ap downloaded on my phone in about 2 minutes. Made myself a little "labor station" on the couch complete with snack, remote, lots of pillows, the computer, the bills I had to pay, and my Bradley natural birthing book. You know, the book I had memorized by my 6th month with Eden. Thought I should probably review... At this point, my contractions were like 45sec long and about 8 minutes apart :) </div><div><br /></div><div>Brett got up about 6am and when he asked what I was doing, I got to casually say "timing contractions". I love saying that... He said "really!? Awesome." He made sure I was ok and then went to work to tie up some loose ends. It was Eden's day to go to Ms. Wanda's house and I was easily able to get her ready and drive her over with no problem. Back to the house- figured and paid our payroll taxes. Paid all the bills that were coming up. Kicked back and waited... Contractions now about 1 min long and 6 to 7 minutes apart. </div><div><br /></div><div>Brett came home about 2 oclock with Eden and gave our parents the word to hit the road. We had already put them on alert, but now I was sure that this was the real deal. I decided it was time to shower & primp a bit. Now, I'm not sure what made me think that I had PLENTY of time to casually clean up (1min long and 6min apart unless I was moving around and then about 4min apart- yeah, I know, GET TO THE HOSPITAL...) With Eden, things got a little serious as soon as I got out of the shower, so I went to the hospital with a wet head and mascara face. I was determined not to let that happen again and I kept remembering how much time I had once we were at the hospital (still having a hard time remembering that EVERY BABY IS DIFFERENT). </div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway, back to the shower- contractions got to about 3 minutes apart and STRONG. Still I pressed on- dummy- I mean shaving my legs in between knee dropping contractions. Got out, make-up, dry hair- still dropping to my knees about every 3 minutes. By the time I finished dressing, the contractions were so bad that I had a hard time getting from the bathroom back to my bed. They slowed a bit when I laid down and relaxed but still- seriously- like 2 min apart- it was around this time that I fully realized I had pushed it a bit far. </div><div><br /></div><div>Brett went out to load the car and get it ready. When he came back to the room, I was fully afraid that I wasn't going to make it. I really didn't know if I could get to the truck, much less IN the truck. So, you can imagine how I felt when Brett told me the car was completely out of gas and the "miles left to empty" said 1. It's a good 4 miles to the hospital... Now he casually told me we would have to stop for gas and I casually told him that that wasn't an option. We would just have to risk it. I somehow managed to get in the truck and we headed out. The miles went to 0 at the edge of our neighborhood and we just looked at each other... Well apparently we have at least 3 miles past empty because we made it just fine. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now, I should back up and say that about 6 weeks prior I called the hospital to find out how to pre-register. They told me that they didn't really do that, but I could come sign some of the consent forms early if I really wanted to. Well, I'm sure you know what's coming. As soon as I told them why I was there (as if it me clinging to Brett for dear life didn't make it obvious)- what was the first thing they asked?! "Have you preregistered"? NO I HAVE NOT. So they put me in a wheelchair and proceeded with the paperwork... After about 6 questions, I knew that we needed to move on VERY quickly. The funny thing was that it wasn't the 3 women (who were most likely mothers) that noticed the HIPAA release really needed to wait- it was a nice young transport tech who was a guy and couldn't have been more than 19. Before I could get the words out he said- "I think we ought to get you back there". I love that guy. Brett stayed behind to finish the paperwork.</div><div><br /></div><div>Got to the delivery room and I somehow managed to get changed into a gown by myself. My contractions were right on top of each other and as soon as I laid on the bed my body started pushing. The nurse checked me and said- "uh, yeah, you are ready". Doctor had not been called and Brett was still filling in blanks... I was laying on my side in the fetal position and seriously thinking I couldn't do it. Of course I was still remembering the 2 hours of pushing with Eden. </div><div><br /></div><div>So push #1 happened as I laid on the bed. Brett came in on push#2. Doctor strolled in on push#3. Cannon's head was out on push #4 and the rest of her on push #5- so fast that I delivered her laying on my side. I didn't even have time to roll over. It was a grand total of 15 minutes from the time we pulled into the parking lot to holding Cannon. Brett and I were in shock. First at how close we had cut it, and second OH MY WORD that was SO much quicker. Now, just so I am VERY clear, it was just as painful but wow the pushing... I was in such shock at the speed of things that it took me a second to remember that I didn't know if it was a girl or boy. I had to ask and we could not have been more thrilled that she was a girl.</div><div><br /></div><div>This time I made sure to have them lay her on me as soon as the cord was cut. I had read about how research shows that is important for bonding, infant mental health, etc. It was amazing. We locked eyes and just stared at each other for seriously more than 5 minutes. She never even cried, and I will never, never forget those minutes. I'm so thankful Brett got it on camera.</div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKL5Q9x91ybJlhyphenhyphenrMRfgk2AnOmJVheMMsR1d2c6b6PFWBJw1THjFj4F_4vWcSlqFhIa_1GDNtxePZvaK3H2F6q2g_cuT-3TBOuqdqsW5T5LKFxz_5Neqk51gGgukHrpkU3M5LwEoIhdno/s1600/IMG_0250.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOKL5Q9x91ybJlhyphenhyphenrMRfgk2AnOmJVheMMsR1d2c6b6PFWBJw1THjFj4F_4vWcSlqFhIa_1GDNtxePZvaK3H2F6q2g_cuT-3TBOuqdqsW5T5LKFxz_5Neqk51gGgukHrpkU3M5LwEoIhdno/s320/IMG_0250.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476565103165302482" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div>I am again silenced at how unbelievably blessed we are.

Really? I am just so happy, and love my family so much. It was so wonderful to celebrate with them... We started in Abilene and woke up Christmas Eve morning to a blanket of snow. Eden woke up, leaned over, looked out the window and said "whoa". Cracked us up. </span></span><div><br /></div><div><span><span>Within an hour or so of waking up we lost power- yikes- and still didn't have any 5 hours later- double yikes. Finally came back on just in time for us to get ready for church. We piled in the car and made the almost 20 minute drive across Abilene, in the snow, on <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">treacherous icy roads. As we rounded the corner and spotted the empty church parking lot, it occurred to us that on the day of the biggest winter storm in recent history, we probably should have called to see if services had been cancelled. Hmmmmm... Back to the house for snacks and presents- NEVER cancelled.</span></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFN81t8K4y7O72smmIX5c8M8XS_tKtjdU7KbKo8FrKaDW53L2H_5_hyTcW7H2t4jzlETK_5cKovfHNS50_NOrIsLWtX8-QAD4-VlzPkhO6EECk7n1tc-FjuxWRIxFSFn7bQ_oXck59Lg6/s1600-h/IMG_1377.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcFN81t8K4y7O72smmIX5c8M8XS_tKtjdU7KbKo8FrKaDW53L2H_5_hyTcW7H2t4jzlETK_5cKovfHNS50_NOrIsLWtX8-QAD4-VlzPkhO6EECk7n1tc-FjuxWRIxFSFn7bQ_oXck59Lg6/s320/IMG_1377.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430503279769316290" style="display: block;

It absolutely feels like a couple of months ago we were in the hospital in disbelief at the perfect little gift we had been given. It's hard to put into words how much she has given us... has changed us. It sounds corny and cliche, but life <em>really is </em>sweeter. I laugh more, I cry more, I love more deeply, I hurt more for others, I rejoice more for others, I treasure my family more, and I understand my God and Savior so much better... Thank you Eden, and thank you God for sharing her with us.<br /><br /><br />**Update 8/22/2009<br />We had a fabulous party for our little half pint today. Celebrating Eden was more fun than I ever dreamed. She loved every minute- of course having no clue it was all for her! Once again I'll share WAY to many pictures, and in case it's not obvious- the theme was polka dots!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376679541641450258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqskyqv49qDw7Fgp-k-ST-uyPI03jrZ4y6aNjzN9c6vWHmah-G4QgALbJgJXQARCSUdVgqNQIl1P4SoMWkMeGwAoCPngy-FDiaeD3WKSOMfkLqQCf8u5bALiKJIp2FFV_ft0vWqtVaMVpY/s320/Eden's+First+Birthday+044.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376683755711733794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS8KTLNDk_onddTlFa-QL2oyVvbS6GOGVa89Bb65owOJkSEV_VN13PfVyKWOApSUQWKzfNcf244tSYTSWFk_BymwsEQ6zqbUEzuC1EwxGPc0wLSjCuuFbQLrEk6Zz9Utr-oWcdxlxtVOX7/s320/IMG_2094.JPG" border="0" /> The cake was PRECIOUS and SOOO yummy.

Oh, they're only babies for a blink aren't they?! I must say we are having more fun with her than ever before. Itis incredible how quickly they learn things! She is literally more independent everyday... a new word, a new activity, something is always new.<br /><br />She now says (for my own record-keeping)- MaMa, Daddy, bye bye, night night, diaper (biper), uh-oh, nana (banana), all done (duh), book (boo), no-no (that one is pretty funny), hello (hiya-and only when she is "on the phone"), PaPa (my dad), hi, shoes (chzzz), up, baby (used for both babies and puppies) and I think she was saying Sassy (Brett's Mom) today. At least those are the words that I am certain she understands the context. She repeats lots of our sounds and words all day long!<br />She waves and says "hi" when she sees us. She loves to share things- her food, milk, pacifier,- and she thinks it's hilarious when we "partake".<br />She is very interested in putting things into or onto other things, so we find stuff all over the house in the strangest places...<br />She loves to dance and clap anytime there is music and knows exactly which toys will play songs.<br />She still loves to eat, although not quite as "crazed" as she once was. We have begun practicing with the spoon and she can use it to finish a whole bowl of yogurt- but it's not pretty folks, not pretty at all :).<br />She LOVES to play chase- both receiving and doing- and laughs harder than I've ever seen her.<br />She still signs "more", "eat", "all-done", and "bath". Those are really the only one's we've worked on- I really should do better...<br />She has become VERY interested in what we have and wants to have the same. Particularly with eating, which makes eating out very interesting. She will have the exact same thing in smaller bites on her plate, but she would still rather have mine- "MAMA" "MAMA" "MAMA".<br />She is so, so silly- just like her Daddy. It facinates me that she understands what that means, but boy does she. She will make a sound or a face or she will stick a toy on her head or you name it- simply because she knows it's hysterical. I can't tell you how much fun we have...<br />Oh there is so much more. I really just wanted to get some things down before I forgot them.<br /><br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY Eden Marie.

We have had such a wonderful summer. Eden is getting more grown up by the minute. Suddenly a little toddler is in front of me... She is talking more and more. She says MaMa, DaDa, Bye Bye, NaNa (banana), PaPa, boo (book), Bipe-Bipe (diaper) and her favorite word is Uh-Oh- and let me tell you, she knows exactly when to use it. It is so funny- anytime anything falls or we toss something on the bed or the sofa "uh-oh".

We took Miss Eden on her first trip to the Holy Land- oh I mean Aggieland (thanks Jason Karnes)- this weekend. It was beyond fun. There is just something about being there... All my Aggie friends know what I mean. I must send a million thanks to my sister Anna. Her boyfriend Buck is in E2- the outfit that cares for Miss Reveille- so we totally took advantage and Rev was able to fit us into her very busy Spring schedule. We ate Wings and a burger at Koppe bridge (Freebirds has kind of lost its luster for me, but we'll save that for another day), and we had a yummy sausage dog at a crazy fun baseball game- aren't those the greatest?! Now Eden will certainly have her choice of schools when college time comes...really, she can go wherever she likes- we won't pressure her in the least...really... I would never play the War Hymn while she sleeps or frame photos of her and Rev in her room or pin an Aggie jersey in her closet...really... Enough talk, just check out the slideshow on the left.</div></div></div>Audra Cainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01510711762540011494noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098635947376261120.post-39232318161470590382009-04-22T07:05:00.009-05:002009-04-22T15:04:44.716-05:00Happy 8 Months!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkELVJzgcFy_s4q_tA_FSNxC4_PdAntJw-mLANMtn4sKyOXrlbeC7Zyc8jiUenO2W5wQTyp8F7gc1WL6Z0aMB40SH0N2Sz1NJqVbCaBryflAxRi2hepdwdFJ2lJKt-Y5oIaNyNOvvaSfKl/s1600-h/013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327607389632208130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 236px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkELVJzgcFy_s4q_tA_FSNxC4_PdAntJw-mLANMtn4sKyOXrlbeC7Zyc8jiUenO2W5wQTyp8F7gc1WL6Z0aMB40SH0N2Sz1NJqVbCaBryflAxRi2hepdwdFJ2lJKt-Y5oIaNyNOvvaSfKl/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#99ffff;"><br /></span><p><span style="color:#ccffff;">I CANNOT BELIEVE MY CHILD IS 8 MONTHS OLD!!</span> </p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;color:#993300;"><em>Highlights-</em></span></p><ul><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She sleeps like a dream (now that she has discovered tummy sleeping it's even better)</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">Three square meals a day (I know you were worried by how thin she is :))</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She LOVES sweet potatoes and DOES NOT LOVE green beans (she is, however, very polite about her dislike and simply looks at the floor and refuses to look at me...)</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She has begun feeding herself little bites of banana and cooked carrots (for all my OT friends, she has an excellent pincer grasp)</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She says DaDa and NaNa (for bananas), and for now she says BaBa instead of MaMa, but we're working on it...</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She understands the signs for milk, eat, drink, all done, and more.</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She does raspberries, clucks, growls, and coughs and loves to copy us making those sounds</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She gives kisses when asked, but so far only to Mommy (I just hate that...)</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She's very curious about everything (this has been confirmed by BOTH the church and MOPS nurseries) and always wants to find and investigate sounds, or play with whatever we (or other children) have</span></em></li><li><em><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#663300;">She pulls up on anything she can get her little hands around.

On April 5 we had the joy of dedicating Eden back to God during our Sunday morning service. God continually gives us so much more than we will ever deserve and that certainly includes our children. I am priviledged beyond measure that God has let us be a part of Eden's life and I am so aware of what an awesome responsibility Brett and I have been given. It is my heart's cry that she grow up with a deep and lasting understanding of the incredible love of Christ and it is our responsibility to create an environment for that to happen. Nothing brings me greater peace as a parent than to know that God loves Eden so much more than we do and I am excited beyond words to see what He does with her life...<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEird7oaQ7FuWaUwCancNhjQTJYKP68cZcZp1tnFGuch9XCNV60IxhW73_Pkjr4s1QU7eX9yHy13Lo4cAxzG0spX_E7VDK7e0OF1C23AjdQxSVA__qQqRmnYgBP3T7eZl5IUg8GNeAqaU-8A/s1600-h/DSCF0804_0020.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324270280809627970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEird7oaQ7FuWaUwCancNhjQTJYKP68cZcZp1tnFGuch9XCNV60IxhW73_Pkjr4s1QU7eX9yHy13Lo4cAxzG0spX_E7VDK7e0OF1C23AjdQxSVA__qQqRmnYgBP3T7eZl5IUg8GNeAqaU-8A/s320/DSCF0804_0020.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVnDH2wePqgfl2di3jIwJDt0lOAyVinofeGSyH3fHFTcMm0vRVuvi_01l3FfpBHK58H8dkNx_XkFV0H_NaKT-ysA8uU3LL72noUFZDl6esY0VaSjgIG4a1ozM7I5T2m0r9ME9hrUyP_erk/s1600-h/Baby+Dedication+%26+Easter+004.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324197766499687394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVnDH2wePqgfl2di3jIwJDt0lOAyVinofeGSyH3fHFTcMm0vRVuvi_01l3FfpBHK58H8dkNx_XkFV0H_NaKT-ysA8uU3LL72noUFZDl6esY0VaSjgIG4a1ozM7I5T2m0r9ME9hrUyP_erk/s320/Baby+Dedication+%26+Easter+004.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><p>Of course our families came to encourage us and commit to Eden girl with us, and of course there was some fun...and food...and fun...and food...</p><p>On Saturday we went with Brett's parents to a local organic strawberry patch and yes oh yes WE PICKED OUR OWN STRAWBERRIES!!!!!

It was SO much fun to get away. We really didn't do much, but it's nice to get out of the distraction of my house and just hang out with my favorite people...<br /><br /><br />On Thursday night we drove over to Round Top to eat at <a href="http://www.royersroundtopcafe.com">Royer's</a>. If you have never been there, it's so worth getting off the beaten path. They have wonderful food, but the trip is really for the pie- lets all be honest. Brett and I were having great pains deciding what kind to get, so we got 4- seriously. Drumroll please: buttermilk delight, chocolate chip, cinnamon bread pudding, and apple.
