Crash Course Catch Up!

So every time never fails I tell myself I need to write on my blog.. It makes me feel better to sit down and type from time to time, but yet I never seem to find the time! Little Miss Mac takes up soooo much time these days! And when she goes down for bed at 9 there is that small part of me that says should I write in my blog or should I go to sleep and sleep ALWAYS wins.. Not that its really a big deal anyways because I don't think anyone reads this thing anyways! But oh well!

Johnny's mom Lesha and Dalton my little brother came out over their spring break and Easter and we had a wonderful time! Colored Eggs which didn't turn out so well.. Turns out my Food coloring mixing skills aren't great and colors ended up being only blue green or brown! haha! Opps! Now I know for next time! Macady got some fun toys from the Easter bunny and Grandma Lesha bought her a really Cute Easter dress and another spring dress! She looked so cute for church.. We only stayed for Sacrament though because Macady was just getting over having RSV! That was horrible! Two weeks of no sleep was soooo not fun! She gave us a couple scares and had to have breathing treatments but we managed and she is back to being a 100% Adorable! :)

Well Little Miss turns 6 months old a week from today and she is soooo much fun!! She is an absolute doll and I am so proud to be her mommy! She brings so much happiness into my life every day! She is getting more and more hair on her head and she just keeps getting bigger! Not to mention I can see two little white spots that are about to break through for her first little baby nippers! She is already in 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. She wants really really badly to crawl! I really don't think it will be long before it happens! She is ready and I almost am! All I have left to baby proof the house is a baby gate for the top of the stairs. I think I found one that will work with our banister though on line so that's in the works! :) We are 100% moved into our new place and I absolutely love it! It's perfect for what we need right now and Colorado is really starting to feel like home. My mom and sister came out over the weekend and were planning on going home on Tuesday but the weather was terrible and they ended up staying till Thursday morning. We had a great time and Chelsea got a bunch of shopping done for her new house and baby Harper's room. I can't wait for that little baby to get her! Being an Aunt is pretty awesome! And it will be wonderful to see my sister as a new mommy!

My Birth Story Part 2

So after my water broke my contractions became horrific! I am so impressed with women that can do labor with no drugs. No way was that going through my mind! I wanted and epidural and now! About an hour later the Anaesthesiologist came in and started my epidural. After 2 failed attempts the 3rd time was a charm. It wasn't painful at all other than the contracts so I was good! After the juice was flowing I was in heaven! I finally got to eat a few Popsicles.. Thank heavens! And since my water was broke they couldn't do the Cytotec any more and we had to move back to the Pitocin. Everyone thought for sure that things would start to move faster now! Around 12 the doctor came in to check on me. Anyone wanna guess how dilated I was.... Drum roll please... NOTHING! The same I was the last time.. My contractions were off the charts but nothing moving in the right direction! And Macady was moving even less. So I was put on a sugar drip and Oxygen and had to lay on my left side. I started to get really tired.

At 4:30 in the after noon my doctor returned once again. She checked one more time to see how things were moving and sure enough still nothing. I was stuck. She said that we were at the end of the rope and we needed to get this baby out. Clearly something was wrong. I agreed. She left my room to get us scheduled for a C-Section that night. She returned within 5 minutes followed by 3 nurses and the "Juice Doctors". She said they were taking me back right now. Thankfully I was given the time to have Johnny and my dad give me a blessing before we moved forward with anything else. I felt the comfort I needed and Heavenly Father was holding my hand telling me that everything would be ok. They turned up my epidural so I couldn't feel anything from my waist down.. I must admit that that is a very strange feeling.. Johnny got gowned up and we were ready to go!

 

I was wheeled back into the surgery room where they got me all prepped. A few minutes later Johnny came and sat beside me. I have seen a few C-Sections before unfortunatly so I knew everything that was going on down there.. :/ My Juice Dr was right by my head and talking to me the whole time along with my Doctor telling me what was going on and saying that I was doing great.. Tears were coming to my eyes. In a way I felt as though I had failed at bringing my baby into this world on my own. But I was also very grateful to be living in this day in age where we do have modern medicine to step in when needed. Here is where the fun part began.. After what seemed like forever I hear my doctor say and I quote " I don't think I have ever seen that before"........ WHAT?!??!? Seriously I bet you can image the things going through my mind! As I am screaming WHAT WHAT WHATS wrong???? She says nothing she is perfect! She just had her leg over her head and the cord wrapped around her neck and leg twice! There was no way this baby was coming out! She was alll tangled up! Johnny ran over to follow them with the baby and I could hear her screaming at the top of her lungs. I was full of joy and fear all at the same time. I asked its a girl right?? lol.. She was of course a girl. A beautiful healthy girl. Born at 5:02 PM. (It was only 10 Minutes from the time they took me from my room to her being born!) She weighed 7 Pounds 10 Ounces. And 20 1/2 inches long. Perfect in every way!

 

 

Johnny took her out to meet every one while I was being put back together. After being washed and dressed they brought her back into me in recovery where I was able to breastfeed right away. She was a champ! Never missing a step. What a blesssing she was in our lives already!

I didn't look so great after crying my eyes out! I had had plans of fixing my hair and doing my make-up after getting out of the tub but when contractions hit and my water broke I didn't get any time!

After about an hour of being in recovery I was finally able to go to our room.

 

 

They had my catheder in and leg compressions on until the next morning when I got to get up and start walking around. I was given the Star patient award. :) We had a couple of sleepless nights until my milk came in Saturday night. Macady was a much happier baby after that!

My sister was able to get some really cute newborn pictures while we were in the hospital. Macady pretty much slept the whole time. Which we were all surprised considering we changed her outfit 20 times! She was a trooper! Here are a few of the pictures we were able to catch! Not bad for hospital room lighting! Thanks Chels!

 

 

Pretty cute baby girl huh?

We left the hospital Sunday and headed for home!

 

 

 

I healed up well and didn't have any problems which I was very thankful for. Blessings do wonders! I am so grateful that my husband is faithful and has the priesthood! We are very blessed!

 

 

 



Playing Catch Up 1

So... It's been a while since I have started and written in my blog.. But today I made the decision to start becoming more faithful with it.. More or less to keep my own sanity these days..

Sooooo.... Let's play a little catch up since my last post like 2 years ago! Yikes.Around November 2011 we got word that Johnny was being put in for a work transfer to be moved to Denver Colorado. We kind of knew the time would come when we would be moving for his job it would just a matter of when. So his company told us to put our house up for sale and try to get it sold as soon as we could.. So we did.. We sold our house on January 18, 2012 and we still had no offer to move we were just told to "Not get into any contracts or loans" Yeah ok.. So good thing we had family! We decided that moving in with my parents would be the best choice.. If any thing just to save some money. So we moved in.. And on February 12th... We found out we were pregnant! Talk about good timing huh! Yeah NOT! :) But we were overjoyed to have a little one come into our family!

 

Unfortunatly I went the rounds on puking every day several times a day.. So I had to make sure to never have an empty stomach or that made it worse. As I got into my second tri I was feeling amazing! The first of June we found out that we were having a beautiful baby girl! We couldn't be more excited! (Or I couldn't at least!) We decided to name her Macady Anne Hacking. It's been one of my favorite names since I was a little girl. Anne comes from my grandma's middle name and my best friends' middle name as well.

June 2012 we finally got word on a transfer and we were able to get a date to move! AUGUST! Johnny and I travelled out to Denver to find a place to live and decided we would get an apartment for the time being until we figured out where we really wanted to be! Our move in date was set for August 18th. Yay for being pregnant and moving! Oh Joy..

(39 Weeks Pregnant, Last picture before going to the hospital)

We got all moved into our new home and we had to go back to Vernal in September for my sister's wedding. Only 4 weeks till D-Day we were cutting it close. Not to mention me walking down her aisle with my big ol belly! But we managed..

I got the nursery all finished and we were packed for a delivery at anytime.

Macady came into the world on October 25th, 2012. See My Birth Story for the full version.
