The last few months have been very busy for my little family. For starters, we added a new person, Ethan Jon, on January 31. He was so excited to be here, he came two weeks early and rushed me through a 4 1/2 hour labor. We were barely at the hospital for the vbac when he decided to make his appearance. Thank goodness my ob/gyn was on call that night so he was already there. Nevada law says for a vbac, the ob has to be at the hospital throughout the whole labor so that was a relief we didn't have to wait for him.
He's been a complete angel. Slept through the night by 6 weeks and naps a few times a day for me. He decided to roll over yesterday! But only when we weren't looking. I think it was purely accidental as he had a look that said "What just happened, Mommy?" on his face when I found him on his back.
Alex is a great big brother and is always wanting to hug Ethan or play with him. Usually when I've told him to do a chore and he's trying to put it off.
Alex's last day of school is today. He earned straight A's all year and really enjoyed the G.A.T.E. program. He also played baseball this spring and has a good eye for bad pitches. We went to a Las Vegas 51's game last week and he was given a cracked bat from Mike Venable, a player on the Tucson Padres and he was on the San Diego Padres until two weeks ago. We stayed after for a bit to see if Alex could get it signed by Mr. Venable and he was gracious enough to do so. Alex is just tickled about his new bat.
Dustin has been working hard as a captain.
We've got a few road trips planned for the summer. We have the annual Bear Lake trip at the end of June, I'm taking Alex and Ethan to Minnesota and Philadelphia in July as well as family reunions in July and August. It's a busy summer!
The news with me is I'm now a stay-at-home-mom but I don't really do a lot of staying at home. Its amazing how much there is to do and makes me wonder how I did it plus working full time. I'm loving it though! Every time I try to get a schedule going, something comes along and laughs at it. Oh well. Keeps things interesting, right?

So what happens if you get to the hospital and the baby is born before the doctor gets there? Will they throw you in jail? :)
LOL! Probably realize that just because I had a Cesarean the first time doesn't mean that I'm a ticking time bomb.
If only it were that easy. We wouldn't have had to drive 30 minutes to the only hospital in town that "allows" vbacs.
I do know that for places with a vbac ban, some women actually plan to labor entirely in the parking lot and only enter the emergency room as the baby is crowning. No thanks.
