The FANTABULOUS FIVE!!!!

Oaklee Dawn

September 16th, 2010

7lbs 4oz 19 inches

8:31am

So here is Oaklee's birth story..... We got to the hospital at 5:30 am...(yes early!) and were set for 7:30 delivery. I was a ball of nerves. Yes this is my 3rd baby, but my deliveries never go as planned. It seemed so surreal that I just walked into the hospital and within a couple hours this baby will be here...and out of me! I'm not sure I was really ready for her to be born... well for the delivery actually. I remember when I found out I was pregnant all i could think was this baby has to come out, and I had just gotten back from a hard delivery and early baby!

So we go back and get all prepared. I don't know what happened but I lost it. I started panicking and thought I was going to die. I felt like If I closed my eyes I would stop breathing and die. I was in so much pain and come to find out she was actually breach and they were not soft trying to get her out. Well when was all said and done she was HEALTHY and HAPPY! What else could i ask for??? I survived:) with only a few bruised ribs. Recovery has been alot different this time around. Just like kids I guess, they aren't alike! Oaklee is a great baby and her sisters LOVE her. WE are so grateful for 3 beautiful, healthy, and happy girls! Life is good :)

A HUGE THANK YOU to our parents and Troy and Tammi for all their help with the Girls. We Love our families and think they are the best there is!

38 weeks!

Well here we are at 38 weeks and I am really EXCITED!! I'm scheduled for the 16th so about 5 days early. It will be an interesting experience just going in that morning and knowing within the hour I will no longer be prego and I will be a mother of 3!!!!!!

I hope it all goes smoothly and according to plan....but that doesn't seem to happen for me:) This little one is for sure my most active. She is constantly moving and acts as if she has a full size swimming pool all to her self! Not the little bubble that she is smushed in.

I can't believe that I am actually here to be honest. We planned our other 2... when we wanted them, how far apart, and then WHAM January 12th with an 8 month old we find ourselves prego!! It was the biggest shock I have ever had! But looking back I am so glad that it happened this way. And it has taken me till about now to feel this way. I am so grateful that things worked out this way. I am lucky to have all that i do and wouldn't change it a bit. Am i going to have hard days...YES, am I going to feel like i can't do it and wonder why???....YES, but my girls are my world (and you Justin:) ) and I wouldn't be me without them!

SO..... bring it on and I cant wait to meet our little OAKLEE!!!!!!!
