LABOR...continued..

At this point, all you need to be reminded of from the night of labor is that it HURT!

Wyatt began to act up and hi heart rate dropped for a bit. At this point the nurse went into panic mode. She had me on my knees and hands in the bed and another nurse was starting my IV. It was very normal at that moment but looking back on it, it must have been

a sight to see! Very soon after this episode the Dr came in to check me out. He broke my water and said everything would work out. We were still planning on inducing in the am.

Right at shift change, I felt the "pressure". The new dr and day nurse came into assess the inducing situation when I mentioned the pressure Dr. C said, "inducing nothing, your about to push". Mom was only a few minutes away from the hospital. She made it just in time to help with the motivating, "PUSH"! Three pushes later....

One year ago....

On this very moment, one year ago, I was relaxing in a Brookstone massage chair! I am sure while I was sitting there with my very large belly anticipating the snow/ice predicted, longing for no bake cookies, I was also praying that one little boy would hurry up and make his grand entrance! and....

Blam! 1.5 hours later I was in my moms house eating a no bake cookie when it hit my like a stabbing knife! I think I pulled it together long enough to calmly tell my mom, "I think I am in labor. I am going to take a bath and then we might go to the hospital- no need to rush".
Fast forward 1 hour: "MOM, we need to go LIKE NOW".
Fast forward about 10 minutes: as mom drives BELOW the speed limit to Baptist Womens on I40...who drives the speed limit anyway? "MOM this is hurting and we need to get there NOW! "
**Zach is planning on going to our neighbors house in Oxford watching the National Championship football game**

Sign in to triage. Answer 40 questions that I ask people everyday when admitting, but this seemed like an eternity. The RN checks me and with a very cold heart says, "your 1 cm. we will call the dr and they will send you home". I demanded that she look at the toco monitor while I was having this significant pain to confirm I was having a contraction..."Yes ma'am you are but you are not progressing". At this point, I didn't care what happened but all I knew was she was NOT sending me home and I wanted to put my request in for the epidural, okay thanks! 15 minutes goes by and the not so friendly nurse returns with a more pronounce scowl on her face, "Dr. Sullivant is on call. He is admitting you.(haha to you and you non compassionate self) He said give you a percocet and ambien and he will induce in the am."

Somewhere in the middle of this chaos, Zach has been informed that he needs to come to Memphis because I was going to be having a baby at some point. He thought I was kidding until I informed him I was in the hospital and this was serious.s

hours 10p-7a to be continued.....

We wish you a Merry Christmas....

What a wonderful first Christmas for Wyatt!

Wyatt was such a good boy all year and Santa came to visit! I think mommy was way more excited than Daddy because she could hardly sleep!

I woke up around 6:45 on Christmas morning. It was like I was a kid again and I ran to the window to see how the weather turned out....it was magical...a WHITE CHRISTMAS! I have never had a white Christmas and Wyatt gets one on his first!

We had so much fun looking through what Santa brought. Wyatt was so thrilled over his....TOOTHBRUSH. He is crazy about that thing and the way it tickles his gums. He also enjoys the singing it does too. We have plenty of toys to keep us entertained for a while.

We got to celebrate Christmas with Lala on Wednesday afternoon with Dance Star Mickey and some good food!

Christmas Morning we had breakfast with Zachs family. Fun was had by all with the traditional Christmas money game. I am 2 for 3! (I had to work last year)


We hope that you had a Blessed Christmas

Catching Up...

We have been very busy around the King household.

The most important news: Wyatt is doing GREAT! We had a check-up last week and he is weighing in at 18.8! That is huge for him. Dr. G was very happy to report that he is in the 25% and not in the less than 5%!! Yeah for Wyatt!! He continues to be very active and into everything! He is pulling up and trying to stand on his own in the middle of the room. He hasn't really got that good...yet! He has 8 teeth and is working on his 9th which is a molar. Maybe he will be ready to chew some steak! He is saying "E" all of the time. It is so cute!

We have been decorating for Christmas this last week and boy has it been an adventure!! Wyatt is really loving the lights and ornaments and really wanting to chew on them! Zach and I bought our first real tree last night. We worked so hard to get it straight in the stand. I then took about 1 hour to put lights on it. Probably another hour to decorate it. By this time I was exhausted. I took a relaxing bath and cuddled up with my fleece blanket for a good nights rest! YEAH RIGHT...the tree came crashing down...lights all over the place and ornaments scattered! Zach isn't digging this whole real tree thing. If you get to see my tree, pay no attention to the broken branches that have created major gaps. Its all about the memories.

Well we will try to do better with blogging...

Happy Halloween!

Its Fall in Oxford...
