Welcome home Cayson

We made it home and we are adjusting to our new family of four. Caelyn is trying to be helpful. She wants to help burp him and give us wipes when we change his diaper. She helped give him his first bath. keeps reminding us that "He is not a toy. Touch him gently!"

Introducing Cayson Jeryn Young

Yesterday we had a very unexpected visit from the stork. I went to the doctor Thursday for a regular appointment. No news. I had not dilated or anything. Well things can change fast. I started feeling bad Thursday night and went to bed early. I woke up with cramps for a couple of hours, but was able to at one point fall asleep. Nothing had changed Friday morning and had gotten worse. I called my doctor and they sent me to the hospital. The contractions got really bad on the way to the hospital. When we got there I had dilated 1 centimeter and within 2 hours I was a little over 5 cms. We decided to go ahead and to have a vaginal birth since things were progressing fast. So, I had the epidural, but the baby's heart rate dropped fast. They rushed me back to do an emergency C-section. It was actually kinda scary. There were so many people in there and Chad did not go back with me. They ended up having to knock me out. Both me and the baby are fine. We named him Cayson Jeryn Young. He was 6 pounds, 15.6 ounces and was 18 1/2 inches long. Cayson was born at 12:13 pm. He is really cute and tiny!! Caelyn came to see him and was really excited. She wants to hold him and said he looks like a rooster with his hat on. We are going home tomorrow.

Belly shots

I am as big as a house.

Caelyn in her big girl bed

When we moved into the house we transitioned Caelyn into a "big girl" bed. It helped with potty training, which she is doing really well. She was very excited about the "moobers", not movers, setting up her bed. So far she has been doing really well. She loves her Ariel bed spread and sheets. We were afraid that she would get up in the middle of the night and roam around, but we told her not to get up and to call for us if she needs anything and she has done that, at least for now. But, last night I think I caught her out of bed playing with her toys. She does sleep a little crazy at times.

3-D ultra sound

We got a free 3-D ultrasound of the baby. We weren't expecting it; however, don't have a woman that is 36 weeks pregnant wait an hour and a half for an ultra sound and expect her mood to go unchanged...thus the free image ;)

No phone calls for Caelyn

As everyone knows, we are keeping the Baby's name a secret. We think we have a first name, but are still working on deciding a middle name. Caelyn has been practicing her brother's name. Due to recent events, I will not name any names to protect the guilty (just kidding), Caelyn will only take calls by speaker phone :):). Caelyn has been saying her brother's name, but it might be hard for others to understand her unless you are here or know what she is saying. Caelyn can easily be bribed into saying anything right now, especially for some lick-a lish (licorice), chocolate, or Popsicle. :):)Everyone will know the baby's name next Thursday or the way I am feeling sooner. We are just having a little fun, but Caelyn is getting better and better about saying the name.

The new house

Here are some pictures of the new house under construction. We had the walls painted, the hardwood floors refinished, and the basement redone.

Zilker Park and Easter

Granny Dee and I took Caelyn to Zilker Park to play. Caelyn loves going to the park. Last time Caelyn was at Zilker Park she was not feeling good, but this time, she had a great time. It was also fun to be back around for Easter too. Caelyn got to go to the Kyle Eggtravaganza, dye eggs, and hunted eggs several times.

Trip back to Texas

It was really nice to have been able to go back to Texas. We were happy about the warm weather and seeing family and friends.
