Who would of known.
Who would of known that babies want it their way.. This little man has me wrapped around his pinky and he knows it. Anyways, Well the sleepless nights are starting to catch up to me. Well not really sleepless but the 2 hours here and 1.5 hours here are starting to catch up.. I got woke up at 4by Uriah and got him back to sleep by 5 because he likes to play for an hour after he eats and I get him back to sleep and I start to dose then 520 comes around and Jeff's alarm goes off. Uriah wakes up at 615 and is awake until 11.. He dosed once but was very cranky for the whole time frame. Motherhood completely slapped me in the face today.. Welcome to parenting.. It is a true blessing and for those single moms I respect you all for having to do it on your own. I am thankful for Jeff's helping hands when he is at home. Well I'm off to work.

Quick update on day 15 of being parents.
Oh wow I never thought parenting would be what it is. I love this.. Uriah is truly a blessing. He sleeps, eats, and poops thats really about it. We are doing well. We still need to purchase him a bed. It's not like the mainland though we can't just go out and buy one. There are limited place to buy baby beds. We finally decided on one and guess what it was sold out just my luck. Anyhow, we had our two week check up he was 7lbs2oz he's almost put on a pound since he's been home. Jeff will be returning to work :(.. Makes me a little nervous to be home with no helping hands all day but I know I can do it.. I have picked up a few new recipes.. I'm stoked. I love to cook and this time off is giving me the time to test new recipes. Woohoo.. We got pictures taken yesterday that was a adventure in itself. Anyways, all is well in the McFadden house. I just wanted to give a quick update and a new pic that is my favorite by far.
God Bless

Baby Uriah Skylar McFadden
OK so I figured while I have a rush of energy I will give everyone an update. My water broke at 2am Friday morning. I tried to sleep alittle and make sure the baby was moving. We got to the hospital after we showered, ate, and of course walked prince. So we arrived at 730 am at the hospital I was 3cm, at noon I was at 4 cm, the midwife was talking platocin and I didnt want meds wanted to try my best to go med free. Well she talked to us about nipple stimulation so I tried it.. Well who would of known that it was so dog on powerful it thru me into a 7 minute contraction the babies heart rate dropped and scared everyone for a minute or so.. So I was monitored and my contractions started coming regular after that moment.. So if any of you wanted to know nipple stimulation works. Wow is all I have to say. So at 4pm I was still at 4cm and she said I was making progress. She put me in the bath tub to relax me well a shift change a 6pm for midwives and 7pm for nurses. I was in the tub for about 2 hours and it was awesome it really took some of the pain off me.. So I got out of the tub the contractions were closer but at 7 I was still at 4cm.. Oh my this was going to take absolutely forever.. So I told Jeff I was exhausted and needed something to let me relax and rest for an hour if I wanted to give natural birth. So I took the narcatics. I slept for an hour, but heard every conversation that was going on. I woke up to the doctor talking about platocin again and Jeff and Ivy told her to leave so they could discuss it and they prayed over me and in the mean time I had to pee/poo and the nurse wouldnt let me go to the bathroom due to the narcatics... So I peed in the bed pan and told her i need to poo and push and she said don't push.. The doc came and asked if the platocin had been started and the nurse said no.. So I was examined and throwing the towel in for an epidural due to pain.. wow the pain who would of known.. (but its all worth it after its over).. So no more than the doctor examining me 10minutes ago and jeff and Ivy praying over me. I had went from 4cm to 10 cm.. No lie.. The doc examined me and said oh he's crowning lets get the show on the road. Needless to say no epidural for me.. 30 minutes of pushing and our Handsome Uriah Skylar McFadden had arrived. So we got home yesterday and everything is going ok.. I had a rough night last night full of feeding, puking, and dirty diapers.. Jeff took over at 630 so I could sleep and it felt like i slep a good 8 hours and it'd only been 2. So we are doing well keep us in your prayers i'm off for 55 days and jeff 10.. We have company coming in the beginning of june and look forward to it. God Bless and I'll post some more pics as they come in since jeff is documenting everything.. Absolutely everything.
I love him.
God Bless Kattie
