Our new baby






So, we had an interesting past week. I went to the Dr on Monday and was dilated to a 4 and had some high bp issues. My dr sent me over to the hospital to monitor me and see what my bp would do. Totally not prepared I had to call my sister in law Dianna to come get Brooke and I went to the hospital to be monitored for the rest of the afternoon. Since my BP didn't go down she put me on bed rest and told me to come see her Thursday at 8:30am. Not expecting this at all and being on bed rest was freaking me out because I had so much more to do. In my mind I still had 1 1/2 weeks till my original induction date. Bed rest sucked of course! So thankful to Robin and Dianna for helping me out and of course my husband for dealing with me. I go in on Thursday, still high blood pressure and head over to the hospital, and get monitored some more and then get induced. I started my pitosin drip about 11:30am and had him at 7:33pm. A little longer than i wanted to be sitting there not having him but I probably pushed 3 times and he was here. What a difference a pound makes! Brooke was 8.3!! Any way Our newest addition, Caleb Ryan Livesay! So excited to have him here finally, not to mention he looks like his daddy! Brooke was too cute when she met him. She was so soft and careful. She loves him!
