My Birthday (Jeffrey's)

Well yesterday I had a WONDERFUL day with my wife! I just want to start off by saying that she is the best ever! I wouldn't know what to do without my sweetheart in my life. So the day started off like this, of course my 2 weeks old son woke up at 1:30 am and woke both of us up, and while feeding and changing Bentley my wife decides to get all excited and say happy birthday to me several times during that half hour we were awake. It was fun but a little to early. after that Bentley wakes up 3 hours later and Kylie again gets all giddy and says happy birthday to me several more times just reminding me that I am getting older by the second. Than later on in the morning at 8:00 am, I get up, because Bentley was doing his normal moaning and groaning before he awakes, and i use the bathroom. Well on the way there, I see several of these pieces of paper hanging on my mirror. I stopped and looked and them and they were sticky notes that Kylie had written on with lots and lots of things that she likes/loves about me. It was way unexpected. It made me smile sooooo big that I wanted to give Kylie a HUMUNGO hug but she was still sound asleep so i didn't. I just picked up little baby Bentley and laid back in bed with him on my chest. Kylie woke up about 15 minutes later and saw that I had Bentley and she said "I didn't even hear him waking up. How long have you had him for? Your not suppose to, I want to take care of him for your birthday."

Well while lying in bed the 4 of us (myself, Kylie, Bentley, and of course the bed hogger our dog Chuck), Kylie wanted me to open my presents. I went to the dresser and grabbed a black bag and opened it, it was a sweet camera for by birthday. And also later I got a pack of rockstars, not just one as shown, which was cool.

After going to the cracked egg for breakfast and getting all ready, we left Bentley at my in-laws house to be watched while me and my lovely wife have fun by ourselves. We started off going to dinner at outback, because that's what I chose, and than going to a movie at the RAVE. We saw inception, which was very good but you do have to be wide awake to understand what is going on in the film, but very interesting and intense.

That was my wonderful birthday that I had with my family! Thank you to them for the great time I had! I love you guys!

my good lookin hubby

Today is my hubby's birthday and I was tryin to take care of Bentley all day so Jeff didn't have to but that didnt happen cause I have such a great husband. While I was getting ready for the day, Jeff was taking care of Bentley well, at least I thought he was. When I went over to check on my 2 boys this is what I saw, them 2 sleeping together. It was so cute I had to write about it on here, but of course right after I take a picture of them Jeff wakes up. Oh well at least Bentley is still asleep.

FaMiLy TiMe!

So, Since the last post was all about the Labor of Bentley, I decided I would put some more updated/ recent pictures since then...

This was our second day home! Our little bundle of joy! I just LOVE the little blanket he is wrapped up in ( thanks barb!!) A cute little fact about Bentley, is that we can catch a cute smile when he's sleeping. I just know he's going to be so much fun through out our journey!

And This Picture was taken when he was one week old!! Jeff and I love matching each other and since we have a new addition, we all decided to match as a family!!

BABY TIME!

Lets start from the BEGINNING! Jeff and I arrive at Valley Hospital at midnight Sunday night, so basically Monday morning. We go upstairs to labor and delivery and sign in. You write your name and the time your signing in. So, i wrote Kylie Burr, 12:03. The lady looked at the paper and said... "your late" Jeff goes are you kiddng me? We're 3 minutes late... She said no we have you marked on the calendar to be here at 11.."well my doctor told me to be there at 12." So the lady said "that's okay, let me find a nurse to get you started"...The nurse comes and takes me to my room. I was so excited to have my own room, if that hospital is busy you have to share a room with another person, but my doctor was nice and made sure i had my own room! I got settled in my gown and laid down onto the bed. 2 nurses came in to ask me questions and to get my IV started. The first nurse poked me in my left arm under my wrist where its tender.. she..of course blew the vein.. so she asked the other nurse to give it a try... the 2nd nurse went to my right arm and found a vein....she missed it.. They didn't want to poke me again so they called another nurse over..She finally was able to hit my vein! I was going nuts, because my last job i had was a Phlebotomist..(i drew peoples blood) I was about ready to tell them "just let me do it!" well they started hydrating me and they told me they'd be back to start my pitocin in just a "minute." An hour went by and they still hadn't started it.. Finally the nurse comes back in and said "sorry, we had to deliver someone, I'll start your pitocin right now. So it wasn't till around 2:00-2:30 that we FINALLY started this process! I was already having contractions 3-5 minutes apart..( i was feeling them at church, so i knew even if I wasn't going in to be induced, this baby was coming anyway!) so the night nurse i had was awesome! She came in and checked on my about every 45 minutes.. around 6:00am she asked if i wanted my epidural since the doctor was making his rounds at 6:30AM to do it. At that time i was dilated a 4, and the nurses make a shift change at 7, so i knew if i didn't get it then it could be awhile and i didn't want to test the pain! I told her of course I'd get it! The anesthesiologist was really good! i couldn't feel anything from right below my chest down...after i got the epidural my mom headed up to the hospital..I then was able to find a comfortable spot and sleep for a little bit. The nurses made their shift change and the new nurse came in to introduce herself.. she seemed pretty nice! Although she said she doesn't like to check the dilation every hour. she thinks the less you check the more you'll dilated... i was like whatever...so she only came in every like..2-3 hours...7cm came around the corner and I was in pain.. i wasn't comfortable at all, there was lots of pressure and i couldn't take it anymore.. the doctor came in again and gave me another dose of the epidural, after a little while i wasn't in pain anymore.. for about 4 hours i was stuck at 7CM.. My doctor came in and said if we don't make in progress within the next hour we'll have to do a c-sec because you've already been in labor for 13 hours...i was okay with having a c-section.... well about 45 minutes pass and the nurse came in and checked me and i was at 8 cm..since i had progressed another cm they wanted to wait one more hour to see if I'd make it to a 10..it had been 5 hours since i got my 2nd dose of the epidural and my body had HAD it! i was in the worst pain that i could ever imagine..I couldn't handle it anymore. The nurse came in and checked me.. sure enough i was dilated to a 10. and guess what? my doctor was helping out in another surgery! I was screaming and crying and I'm sure everyone in the hospital could hear me. My mom had to leave the room because i was screaming and crying and she knew there wasn't anything to do and she probably just didn't like seeing me in pain.. i told her to find the anesthesiologist and tell him i need another dose.. finally he came in and said "your nurse doesn't want me to give you another dose, but I'm going to give it to you anyway. I was so thankful for him!! so the nurse wanted to try to make my comfortable so she was shoving pillows on the sides of me and under my back and trying everything to make me comfortable but it wasn't working...i kept crying and screaming and i wasn't being very nice anymore. i COULDN'T take it! The nurse came in and said okay, I can feel the head, he's coming down! I'll let you try to push a little bit to try and relieve some of the pressure... so i started pushing, i could def, feel him coming down.. she told me i had to stop pushing because the doctor needs to be there.. well he was in SURGERY! i was going nuts! i asked her " have you ever delivered a baby without the doctor being there, because I'm so ready to do that! she said she had done it but she wasn't going to let it happen.. she wouldn't let me push anymore, although i couldn't help it! He needed to come out and he needed to come out NOW! I told her to call the doctor, and she said she wouldn't, but that she was trying to see how much longer he would be...I couldn't believe that she wouldn't cal him, even though he told her, " if she is ready call me and I'll leave surgery early to be here" well that stinkin nurse never called him to tell him i was ready!...an hour and a half pass and finally another nurse comes in and said dr paul is on his way, he'll be here in a minute.. I was so anxious! He finally showed up and as soon as he stood in front of me, his cell phone rang! I yelled " you've got to be kidding me!!" he talked on the phone for about a minute and then he said,, uhh i have to go now, I'll call you back later... I started pushing and he came out in about 10 minutes, with about 6-7 pushes...I couldn't believe the huge relieve my body had once he was out...Bentley was put on my stomach right away, while the wiped him down with a towel, i got to hold him for a minute, and then they weighed and measured him.. Bentley Owen Burr was born at 5:25 PM...6pounds 11 ounces and 18 inches long! I cried the moment he came into my arms.. i couldn't believe my son was finally here! I fell in LOVE with him instantly! So then Jeff went with the nurse to the nursery while they did a couple things to him... the nurse came back to clean up the room and to check on me...she came around onto the right side of the bed and held something up... i turned around and she said " this is why you were in so much pain!"...SHE WAS HOLDING UP THE CORD FOR THE EPIDURAL...THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN MY BACK FOR A CONTINUAL DOSE... uhh so i didn't even really GET the 3rd dose or anything because when the nurse was SHOVING pillows down my back she pulled it out on accident! Ugh i was so through with that nurse..So i was able to experience somewhat of a NATURAL birth, because i was able to feel it!...But hey, my son is totally worth all of that. Him and Jeff are the love of my life..they mean the world to me and nothing can change that!!
