This is Dylan Ryan Dean our newest addition to our family. He has been a really good baby so far and we are really enjoying him. My boys love to kiss him and hold him. They are both really good big brothers.

We had our baby on May 14, 2009 at 12:41 am. He was 8#13 oz and 21.5" long.
I was surprised at his size since my biggest before him was 7# 13 oz.
He and I are both doing really well.
We named him Dylan Ryan Dean he has lots of light brown hair and has been a wonderful baby so far.
I will post pictures really soon.

I saw my Doctor today and everything looked good. He said I was dialated to a 4 and 80% effaced. He said that on Thursday he will not let the hospital bump me, that they will work me in no matter what. Hopefully he is right.
My kids and Terry are still sick, which really is not very fun this close to having a baby.

So I was supposed to be induced tomorrow, but when the hospital called me to tell me the time, they told me that they were too full for tomorrow and it would have to be Thursday morning instead. I am supposed to call 1 hour before I go in to make sure they have room for me. I just started to cry, because it makes me really nervous to be this close to my due date after what happened with Preston. I called my Doctors office and they scheduled me to see my Doctor first thing in the morning to ease my mind that things will still be ok.
We moved into our new home on Saturday and I am really loving it. We are starting to get everything put away and I already feel a lot more organized.
Logan has struggled a little with the fact that this is our new home. He keeps telling us that he wants to go home and we have to tell him that he is home. I think today though he has done a lot better, he is starting to understand and feel comfortable there.
My neighbors seem great, several of them came right over to help us move in, even a few of their kids came to help- and I really appreciated it.

Things seem to be looking up, and like always- for the better. Why is learning that God has a time line such a difficult thing to learn? We finally went and closed on our home yesterday and my Doctor said that I was still dialated to a 3 1/2. He said that the hospital had so many deliveries this weekend, that the only way to get a bed was to go into labor on my own. If I do not go on my own this weekend, he will call me Monday with a time to be induced on Tuesday. My kids seem to be doing better from the sickness they have had, and will be normal again before our new baby comes.
So, like I said before, things seem to be working out for the better. I will be moved into my new house this weekend, my kids will be well enough to come see their new brother in the Hospital, Terry's mom had her surgeries and is home doing well, and I will have the baby here no later than Tuesday. :)

So once again, we were supposed to close on our house today and it did not happen, but the good news is that the papers are all ready to close in the afternoon tomorrow. I am so sick of this whole buying a house thing, so it better happen tomorrow!!!!
Today has kind of been a lousy day for me, apart from the house drama, Terry's mom was admitted to the hospital on Monday because she was having really bad back/chest pain and some nausea. They did some tests and found that she has 4 gallstones in her gallbladder and 1 in her Pancreas. They have started her on IV antibiotics to clear the infection in her pancreas before they can go in and retrieve that one. Once they get the Pancreas under control then they have to take out her gallbladder. She has been very miserable with pain and they won't let her eat or drink until after her surgery on the gallbladder which will be who knows when?
To top off such a great day, I was on my way into Walmart to buy Mothers day gifts in case my Doctor decided to induce me, when Logan got sick and threw up all over my car that I just cleaned the upholstery and carpets in so they would look nice when I went to the hospital.
( CRAZY DAY).
Any way on a happier note just in case any of you did not know, Tenneal and Jeff had their baby on April 30th at 1:00 am
She weighed 7lbs 6 oz and had lot's of black hair. They named her Marissa. She is really a Q.T.

We are pretty excited that our loan was finally approved and by Wednesday we can close on our house.
At my Doctor's appointment this last week, I was told that I am dialated to a 3 and 75% effaced. I am due on the 19th, but my Dr. thought that the baby was already 7lb 13oz. He thought that maybe he had grown a little faster to come a little early. That appointment was on Wednesday of last week and I am still waiting for that early baby. I have been having contractions but they don't stay consistent.
My Dr. told me that if he does not come on his own by my next appointment, that I could choose a day to be induced.
So I guess that means we will close on our house, have a baby, and move next week.( Sounds Crazy)
