Olivia Colleen Greenwood

Hi there everyone! We just wanted everyone to know that Baby Olivia finally made her appearance into this world and we couldn't be happier!

Weds AM {12.03.08} we went into Dr. Gagon's office. He checked me and then sent me over to the hospital to be induced. Honestly for anyone who knows about me and labor it always seems to be a lengthy process so I was pretty nervous about how long this would take, etc. Cody had a feeling it would go fast though.

We got the show on the road but nothing really started to happen til he broke my water. He came over on his lunch to do it and after that it all started to progress. By the late afternoon I was quite uncomfortable and asking for medicine. Misty was incredible with the girls and brought them out to the hospital so I could get my fix. It was hard to be away from them. Jolene was incredible and sat the afternoon out with us while I chatted her head off about wierd stuff I am sure being on pain meds and screamed in pain. She got to stay in the delivery room as Olivia came into this world. It was amazing and I only hope she isnt scarred for life.

I have to apologize to those who came to see me after I got the epidural. I seriously remember looking around seeing people but like no words would come out of my mouth. I was so delirious. I cant say it was enjoyable like you would think. But I needed it I guess because about 2 hours after that epidural I was ready to push and Olivia came in only 1 1/2 pushes. It was such a breezy delivery. Also the epidural didnt take right on my left side so I really got to feel more than normal but I enjoyed it and enjoyed the faster recovery of feeling to my legs.

Anyway we stayed in the hospital until later friday evening and then were allowed to come home. I will be posting more about her later. I just wanted everyone to know she is finally here and we are in LOVE!!! She is adorable! She is such a sweet and quiet baby. She doesnt cry either, she squeaks. How cute is that??

More to come later. She is awake.

XOXOXO

Drugs and Dr. Taco Bell!

So I thought I would keep everyone up to date on how things have been doing with us. So I havent updated my due date ticker on here and I am not sure I told everyone I am due Dec 10th now. So this baby is on its way. My doctor will be inducing me Weds AM if she doesnt make it here on her own by then.

Anyway things are peachy here. We are still just getting settled into our new place and just enjoying life. We are almost done Christmas shopping which is SO nice to think about. We started shopping in oh, August because I knew we were going to have a newborn at home and that cold weather and new babies arent a good mix. Not to mention how sleep deprived and exhausted I will be.

Yesterday afternoon I started having contractions so I got up and started cleaning, etc to see if they were real and they didnt go away. So we went out to the hospital finally. I get there they stick me on the monitors for about 2 hours and decide to send me home. All the while the contractions are about 4 mins apart and getting stronger. It was NOT cool at all. So they dope me up really good and send me on my way. SO Im still contracting after this I just care a lot less since they drugged me up. It really didnt feel so great.

Cody and I decide to go to Taco Bell and grab a bite to eat since I was starving by now. While eating I am so loopy its unreal. I should not be in public and Cody is getting a good laugh at this too. Anyway to the point of the post title....this guy working at Taco Bell - who is maybe no more than 21 - comes over to our table and says sorry about the wait. Cody tells him its okay and better than being at the hospital. So of course he wants to know all about it......long story short. Taco Bell guy tells me my baby is a good 2 weeks off from coming and that I should just relax and wait. He then sits and stares for a bit. Also he has friends that have joined him now. It was a party at our table I guess. An unwanted party. I was on meds...I just wanted to stuff my face and get out of there. So after he walks away Cody says "THANK YOU DR. TACO BELL!" Maybe it was the drug induced haze I was in but that killed me. It was so funny.

So the next time you are feeling unsure of your health or any other matter, stop into the Taco Bell in Price, Utah. I am sure there is someone there who can give you sound medical advice!

Im still contracting again today. So Dr. Taco Bell......I think your prediction is DEAD WRONG!
