Yesterday Maddi Burton and I ventured over to my friend Brandi's home where she so kindly took some beautiful baby pictures of our newest addition. Here are two of the pictures she took. Thank you Brandi, we love them!

January 11, 2009 at approximately 2 in the morning I woke up to a sharp contraction and a feeling of did I just pee my freaking pants? So I decided to to sit up and see if I started to get contractions and time them before I woke up Buddy, mostly because he is a constant worrier and was finally asleep which is a big deal for someone that normally can't fall asleep so I let him sleep. Well after sitting up stairs on the couch having contractions less than 5 min apart I decided to go lay back down on my bed, only a few min later deciding that yes I was in labor and I should probably wake my husband up.... So I tap on him and say I'm in labor we need to leave now. Buddy -"Are you having contractions?" Me" Yes, less than 5 min apart and they hurt really really bad. I told you I was going to have her this weekend since my mom went to my little nephew Gabe's party down in Layton. HAHA" Anyway we took Burton over to Buddy's mom's house and went to the hospital arriving around 3. The nice little nurse checked me and was like oh shoot you are at a 6 and she is right there. Let me call the Dr. Do you want an epidural? Me"YES!" Nurse" Ok well we'll try to get him here in time but since its the middle of the nigth I'm not promising he'll make it. " The nice nurse then checks me again and I was at an 8 or 9 (don't remember mostly because I was having contractions every stinkin minute) so she calls Leavitt again and tells him to come straight in that there isnt going to be any waiting time. The next thing I know the anesthesologist is there Leavitt is there and a few pokes later it was time to push. At 3:46 Madilyn was born 7lbs, 20 1/2 inches long and beautiful as can be.

This is a little late but here is a page from Jessie's wedding back in November...

Week 37

Doctor doctor give me the news I've got a bad case of .... being pregnant. So went to see the doctor today who says hey you are 2cm dialated 75% effaced and ope there is her head. Then continues to talk to me, I go I am ready to have this baby when can you induce me? PA says 39 weeks oh wait Dr. Leavitt will be out of town the week you're due... how natural do you want to do this? I go I am ready to have this baby. She smiles says hold on just a minute let me go talk to Leavitt. Blah blah blah 15 min later, she comes back in and is like well Leavitt will see you next Tuesday afternoon and strip you membranes to see if that starts anything... so until then I will be doing some walking some playing of the wii and maybe lifting some boxes somewhere. Two reasons, I am ready to have this baby and secondly I would perfer if my dr were the one that was actually there for delivery. I will be quite upset with Miss Madilyn if she decides to come while the dr is out of town and the heck she isnt waiting until he gets back. NOT HAPPENING. So if you have any suggestions on how to get a baby out of you please let me know :)

On a lighter note Burton is still adorable and I love him bunches, and I love Maddi too I could just be a little upset with this whole situation of not doing what her mother says, lol, also I start school Monday yeah! Maddi that means be born tomorrow.
