And Then There Was Two

So, Tuesday morning the 4th of August I woke up at about 5 am with tightening and then about 30 minutes later, the same feeling. I laid in bed till 6 am thinking that is was just contractions and it is still 2 weeks till my due date and then 30 minutes later, the same feeling and I started to argue with myself. You know, Peyton came really fast and thinking to myself that the doctor DID say to come in immediately with ANY signs of labor. So, I convinced myself to take a shower and get ready for work and then, the same feeling again, hmmm, this must be real. So I got out of the shower and woke Cam up. I told Cam "I think you might want to get up" He said, "What the hell for" and I said, "I think we need to go to the hospital", boom, he was up! We got to the hospital and I was dialated to a 2 and everyone was arguing whether my water was slowly leaking or if it completely broke or not at all. At about 12:00 my water broke, leaking or not, it broke the rest of the way. Cam Laughed at me! He laughed. Good thing we have a sense of humor. Forty minutes later Daniel Joseph was born, 8 lbs 0 oz. 20.5" long. So I should complain about the nurse who knew what she was doing. She put the IV in for pain meds and then said, I need to check something in your file before we administer and then she said we better check you too. I was completely dialated!! Too late!! Too friggen late for pain meds again!! I was mad. I looked at Cam and said, crying, "They did it again!" So baby #2 arrived with no pain meds just like his sister.

Peyton LOVES D.J. She kisses him and hugs him at least 50 times a day. Every time he cries, she has to kiss and hug him. It is too cute. I gave him a bath the other day and he screamed. She pushed me away and said "Teyton help brodder" (Peyton help brother) it was so cute.

We had his 1 week checkup yesterday. He now weighs 7 lbs 13 oz and is still 20.5" long. We have to go back next week just to be sure he is gaining some weight. They tested him for Jaundice too, he is a just slightly yellow in the face. His Bilirubin was 10.2 which I guess is just a touch high, so no worries. We are doing nothing about it at this point, just keeping an eye on him.

Last weekend we pulled in Hammond, WI. DJ attended his first pull at 5 days old, just like Peyton did. Cam got a 2nd and 3rd, he pretty much has the Championship won. We have one more points pull but it doesn't look like there is a chance anyone will catch him.

This weekend there is a pull Friday in Zumbrota, MN and then in Pepin, WI on Saturday.

I feel like there is a ton more to post but I will have to catch up little by little.

Oh!! Congrats to Kelly and Dean! Kahlen Anah was born Tuesday the 11th at 1:01 pm. 7 lbs 9 oz, a20.5 inches long. DJ and Kahlan are exactly one week apart, Peyton and Jo are exactly 3 months apart. Kind of fun how things work out.
