We're Home

So last night was a much better night than our first. She ate around 11:30 and then went to the nursery for a all of her Minnesota tests and what nots and came back around 3:30 so mom and dad got some good quality sleep. She at again and then back to sleep for about 2 more hours again letting her parents sleep nice and sound. She curled up with daddy for a mid morning nap while mommy got a shower too. We are home now and the dogs are very interested in her but after about 3 minutes she is old news. We are up for visitors if people are wanting to come by, just send me a text when you think you wanna come by!

Day One Complete!

Sleep deprivation here we come! Quinn decided to cluster feed most of the evening and therefor keep her parents up as well. Daddy got a few hours of "sleep" and mommy got a little less but over all we are powering through and trying to keep our energy levels up by eating regularly and walking around. I am so proud of Blair for being a trooper and it is frustrating that I can't do anything when she is crying and wants to eat or when Blair is falling asleep will feeding her from exhaustion. My girls are beautiful!

Quinn Nykkole Becker

SHE IS HERE!!! After 15 minutes of pushing she came out at 5:09 AM 7 lbs. 10 oz. 20 inches long. Mom and Quinn are doing awesome....Blair is finally able to eat so she is much happier and baby is also eating very successfully. We will be up for visitors later in the day just call or text me before u come.

Update......2:10 AM

So Blair and I got a power nap in for about half an hour. We are just taking it easy and watching some movies, doctor just came in and checked her. She is 5 cm, 90% and -1. So she is making good progress but upped the pitocin to try and move things along a little faster. The long and hardest dilating is over now just needing to make some progress! Me blogging and Blair trooping through it!

Update....9:25 PM

Epidural is in and Blair is feeling much much better, they also turned the pitosin down b/c the contractions were intense and right on top of each other. Moving along good on her own and having contractions about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes apart and she can't feel a thing, she is 3 cm, 50% effaced and -1.....this is what her epidural happy face is.....too bad I didn't get the before shot but I had the mask and head drape on and keeping her focused by being in front of her.

Update.....7:00 PM

Pitosin has been running for a while now and contractions are getting stronger and more frequent....doctor will be coming in soon to check how far along she is and see the progress. Keep checking the blog for updates....

Update......5:27 PM

Minimal progress so We are starting the pitosin drip to progress her labor....baby is still doing just fine and Blair is being a champ. Depressing to watch ANOTHER Viking loss in the hospital but I'm more excited to see her!

Update.....2:36 PM

Blair tested positive for strep B so she is getting anti-biotic for that....had a little trouble with the first IV but the second one is doing good. Just waiting for the Mede to be done running in and then we are going to get up and walkabout to see if we can get this labor progressing a little more. If she isn't progressing then we will be looking at petosin.....we will update again when something changes!

We're in Labor!!!

Early this morning Blair's water broke and it has continued to leak throughout the morning. The doctor has verified that she is ruptured and we have been walking to try and progress some labor, we will be keeping this blog updated as much as possible......wish us luck!

Dr. Appt. Update

So we went in to our Dr. today for a routine checkup and everything looks good so far. We have to wait on the results of our Strep B test but the Stress Test and Fluid pockets around baby were all given a thumbs up. I'm progressing on dilation, only 2 cm but at least it's progressing. She said baby girl is fully dropped and facing toward my spine, so we are just waiting on her big debut. The Dr. says another 2 weeks of cooking. :( 2 longest weeks of my life. But I'm super busy getting everyone's hair done and getting my checklist and house in line that it should hopefully go by fast. I'm booked out tell next Tuesday with haircuts and colors, and then to prep my house again for our baby to come and then to take my last week of relaxing and catching up on as much sleep as possible.

Water Fun!

Since we have a rather small house and small yard it's nice to get the pups out on an adventure once in awhile and boy do they LOVE the water and of course fetch! So here are some photos from our day out to the green bridge!

Lucy "let me grab on so it looks like I got it too."

Lucy doesn't quit have the shape that Sadie does when it comes to swimming and fetching a distance. She started spoiled and Sadie started trained.haha But she loves to be right along Sadies side taken credit for the catch and when she gets alittle tired she just grabs hold of Sadie's collar and Sadie helps her ashore. It's pretty cute!
Shake, Shake, Shake

"Wait up Sadie!"

36 Weeks

Yep this is late yet again..but I just can't find the time to blog when I have a million other things to do to prepare for the new little bundle of joy that's about to enter into our crazy lives. When I say a million things btw that really means I have nothing but I feel as if I should wash walls one more time or organize the cupboards again or maybe start one more project...If you've been preggers you know what I mean! I have a dr. appt on Tuesday and hopefully we will hear some good news that it won't be much longer!! Fingers crossed folks! But it has to be after the 23rd I need a hair cut REALLY bad! haha. Oh and yes I had botox injections before Brian took this picture and that's why my face is so shocked looking! jk. My eyes can barely stay open these days!
