Ryler Darel Moulton is Here!!!

Yep you heard right!!! Ryler Darel Moulton graced his presence on June 28th 2011 @ 10:08am. He was 8lbs 14oz 21 inches long. I won't go into much detail but I had my appointment on June 23 and I was dilated to a 3 and 25% effaced so the doctor said that he could come within the next week to two weeks. So we were getting closer to meet our little guy I had been having contractions on and off for almost a month so I was ready. Then friday June 24th we went in to labor and delivery with contractions so they hooked me up to the monitors to watch the contractions and make sure that he was ok. We were there for 4 hours watching my contractions I was now dilated to a 4 and 75% effaced but they weren't strong enough to keep me so they sent me home. Then Sunday we went in for the same thing I was dilated to a 5 and 75% effaced but once again they were not strong enough to keep me. So we went home and waited through these contractions until they were strong enough to do something. So we told my parents and his parents what had been happening dad told Truxton to be ready in case my water would happen to break he didn't want me to be very far from him in case it would happen anytime soon. So his mom offered to take Bridgette for the week to relieve some of the stress so that we could relax and wait for him to make his appearance. So she came and got her on Monday June 27th around 2pm and we hung out with her till 5pm cause Steven had to be back for something and Truxton had rehearsal. So they left and Truxton wanted me to go to rehearsal with him so that he could be with me in case something happened he didn't want me to be alone. So we went to rehearsal of "See how they run" at the Old lyric theater so we went and had a blast!! Well at least I did. I got to see him do what he loves and be with him while he does it I wish that I could do it more often. So rehearsal ended and our friends came to the lyric and asked us if we would like to come to their house and play games and of course we said yes. So we headed over there it was about 11:30pm we played Cities and Knights after we finished the game and I realized I was hungry so everybody hopped in the car and we made a run to McDonald's. Once we got back we decided to watch a show while we ate then we would play another game within 15 mins after I ate I had a huge sharp pain on my left side but I didn't think anything about it I thought it would go away so I waited about a 30mins before I thought I should mention something to Truxton so he gave me the look of  I hope we don't get sent home again and I agreed with him. We went in around 1:30am but didn't get seen until 2:00am by then they checked me and I was dilated to a 6 and 80% effaced so they said we are going to keep you they hooked me up to the IV and we were ready to go. We couldn't have been happier to not have been sent home again. It was what felt like a long process they hooked me up to pitocin around 5:00am by then I had already had my epidural so after the pitocin everything took off by 9:00am I was pushing at 10:08am we had our baby boy!! They called in a NICU nurse cause he was considered pre-term at 36 weeks so she checked him and she said he was not pre-term his lungs were good, his weight was good. They think that we might have got the due dates wrong. We had some really great nurses and wonderful staff, I was sad to leave. The second day we were there he was diagnosed with Jaundice so they had us stay an extra day to watch him he didn't get much better when we left so we had to take the bili bed home he was on it for about a week. That was the hardest longest week of my life we couldn't hold him unless we were feeding him and taking him over to the lab everyday. He was able to be out of the bed on Tuesday!! We couldn't be happier to have him home with us and out of that bed..

33 weeks!!!



We can not wait to meet this cute little face!!! Which makes us want to see it more cause he will never let us see it!! Lol I can't believe that I have 6 weeks left!!! It has gone by fast but it doesn't really feel like it. At our last appointment we were told that he was 5 1/2 lbs so they said he is getting big so they are going to watch him and make sure he isn't getting too big. We are now to 2 week appointments! I am so excited!! We are getting closer Truxton is so ready its driving him nuts!! Any baby he sees in church or the store he totally changes. :) He gets quiet but happy. We have neighbors downstairs that have a 4 month old and he loves to sit and watch her. We are really close with them so they let us hold her and see her when we want and when is convenient for her. :) So we can't wait we hope it comes fast but not too fast!! I have been told that he can't come before my baby shower!! lol which is on the 18th so anytime after that its ok. So I guess we will see if he will listen!! :)

30 weeks!!!

 Well we have made it to 30 weeks!!! I'm so excited but nervous at the same time. He is going to be here before we know it!!I'm more nervous about going into labor on my own because Truxton will be working for the Old lyric Theater which he did last summer. He loved it, but it also gives him some credit for his schooling and he gets paid for it like a regular job which it good both ways. So with him doing that again this year if he was as busy as he was last year I will be home most of the time by myself. From as early as 10am till 5am. I hardly saw him. But he has told me that this summer should not be as busy cause they have alot of workers and hardly anything to do. So I am hoping that it stays that way and wont get very busy. But I know that the lord will watch out for us.

New apartment/Appointment

So we have officially moved into our new apartment!! And we love it!! It is so much closer to campus and to Truxton's work it just makes life easier. Bridgette loves it too!! So loves that her bedroom isn't so far away from the living room and our bedroom. I think she feels closer to us and safer. :) Our first night we stayed here she woke up the next morning walked out of her room went into the bathroom then came into our room and woke me up very nicely and said, "Mom, I can't find my big girl pants!" (that's what she calls her underwear.) lol I love it!! We all feel better about living here we are much happier and less stressed. Also we had our 28 week appointment on Monday which is the fun glucose test. :( So we went in the drew my blood then we waited for the doctor to come in. Once he came in asked if I have had any problems. I told him I have had some cramping and tightening in my stomach so he told me to watch and if they come 4 times in and hour to go to Labor & Delivery. So then he checked the baby's heartbeat 146!! :) Then he measured my stomach I saw the look on his face then he said well you are measuring at 36 cm so he told me that he wanted to schedule me for an ultrasound to make sure that he is not getting to big. So we went for our ultrasound on Wed. he is measuring big he measured at 30 weeks so they told me they are going to watch him closely and make sure he isn't getting too big. Also they will be checking to make sure all of his body parts are growing right and not growing abnormally like head growing and the body isn't or visa versa. I will try to keep this updated. :)

Family Pictures/Maternity Pictures

So I have a really good friend that works at Smiles Photography and she was doing training photos for work and she called me up the other day and asked if we would be her guinea pigs. She told me if we did we would get 3 FREE SHEETS of pictures!!! I could not turn down the offer. :) We need new pictures anyway to put around the house. So we did  recent family photos and some maternity photos. I have been wanting to get some but just haven't been able to fit it in the budget. lol So thank you so much Kaycee!!

So I am 20 weeks and 2 days today!!! And we went for our ultrasound and everything was great!! The baby is growing exactly like it should!! So the ultrasound tech was going though checking everything over and he was getting to the point where he was trying to find out what the sex was, but the baby had it legs crossed!! So he wiggled the baby until we could get a good view!! The baby decided to cooperate and spread the legs just a little bit.

ITS A BOY!!!!!
 So we found out that we are having a BOY!!! And we couldn't be more excited!!!! We can't wait for this little guy to get here!! He is already so loved that he will probably never be put down!! Someone will always be holding him!!! I love him to death!!! Also the ultrasound tech said that he is measuring a week further along than I am. Which is good!! So he said that he measured to be here July 17th, 2011. But to stick with  July 23, 2011 so we will see what this little guy decides!!!! :)
