Jana is 1 week and Her Birth Story

This was minutes after she was born.

We had to stare at this sign that was in front of my bed for hours waiting to welcome Jana!

Poor Shay. This was his bed for the night after she was born. While we were waiting for her to come he had a chair to sleep in.

This is after she arrived! My parents came to the hospital around 10:00 pm. They waited all night for her. She was born at 6:32 am. It was a long night.

Here she is being weighed. 7 lbs and 12 oz!

Seconds after being born.

My parents waiting...and waiting....

and waiting....

Shay was really camera happy! It was a long night but she did finally make it!

Caden is really being good with her. When she cries he will go get her a toy. He loves to kiss her too!

Titan is so happy she is here. He is a good big brother and gets really concerned when she cries.

Corbin loves her too. He always talks to her and says "hey there baby sister". It is so sweet.

Of course... Orion is a huge helper. He loves her. He has been helping out with Caden while I take care of her. He is an amazing boy!

I love holding her. I would love to just hold her all day! She is a sweet little girl. I love dressing her too!

Grandma bought this outfit for her. Isn't she cute!

On the front of this pink dress it says "Daddy's Girl" . She is a Daddy's girl! Shay is in love!

Shay bought this teddy for her when she was born.

I love her little angelic face.

She is 1 week old today. I feel like time is flying by. I want it to slow down so I can just enjoy this little angel! Her birth story is kinda funny...Not so funny at the time though!

I started having contractions on Tuesday night. Then around 2 am Wednesday morning they were getting bad. I got up took a bath and they didn't go away. Shay woke up around 4 am and we went for a walk. They still didn't go away but they weren't consistent and I knew if I went to the hospital they would just send me home so I just stayed in bed. My back was in so much pain and then around noon they started dying down a little. Shay and I had a Temple date planned and I really wanted to go. When he got home around 1 pm we went on our date. We went to the Temple and the Sealer kept making jokes about me going into to labor. Little did he know...I was in labor!I had a few small contractions while we were in there and when we got done my heavy contractions started up again and once again they weren't consistent. So we went home and took the babysitters to YW. Shay had to run to the office and I started having bad back pain. So bad that I called him and said we have got to go now. He came home and Krista came to stay with our kiddos for the night. We got up there and they got me all hooked up. Sure enough my contractions were not consistent and the nurse said I was dilated to a 4 and I might have to go home until they get more consistent. I had to walk and if I made change then I might stay. I was in too much pain to go home! Well by the time we got back from our little walk I was a 5 1/2 and they admitted me. By the time we got to the room which was around 11:30 I was a 7 and in so so much pain!. I was moving fast and the nurse said WOW your not going to be preg much longer. HAHAHA! I didn't change much after that! 6 hours later... At around 6:00am I was finally at a 10 and the doc came in and wanted me to consider a c-section because they thought she was going to be big like Caden. They were worried that she would get stuck too. I got a priesthood blessing from Shay and my dad and felt good about going natural. Besides that, I had gone almost 28 hours and now they want to bring up a C-section! At 6:20am the doc broke my water and she was born 12 minutes later. ( I told the nurse to brake my water hours earlier!) I pushed 1 time. I wouldn't even call it a push. She was ready to come. My contractions NEVER became consistent. They really shouldn't go by that!! But overall it wasn't a bad experience it was just long. She was face up so that is why the long and back pain labor. Otherwise it would have been much quicker. Plus they should have broke my water earlier! The nurses were all great, the doc was great and now we have a beautiful little girl at home!!

Jana Rose Young is Here!

It was a long wait but she finally made it!

She was born 6:32 am on July 2nd.

Daddy is in love!

This is her first picture at home. We are so happy she is here. She is so sweet. There were so many blessings involved with this labor and delivery. I don't have time for details but I will post more info about her birth and more pictures later. We just got home and I think I'm going to go and snuggle with my daughter! Here is the link to her hospital pictures. Make sure to sign her baby book! http://www.chandlerregional.org/Patients_And_Visitors/Online_Nursery/index.htm?&vnMode=details&bId=27683&sDate=2009-7-1&eDate=2009-7-31

Baby Update

The first Barbie to enter into the Young's home! (Thanks Tori)

Just a few of her swimming suits.

Can't forget the shoes! I'm loving this already! We got cute bedding for her from my parents and a beautiful blessing dress. I will post pictures when we get it all set up. This is so fun!

We went and saw the Doc yesterday and I am dilated to a 3! YEAH! He says if we aren't ready we better get ready because she should be here any day! I finally packed my bag last night and I have pink blankets and clothes in the washer right now. I should be ready. I can't believe how fast this pregnancy went by.

Caden is Reverent!

Caden was doing this funny thing with his arms. Then we started noticing it was only when we had family prayer or blessings on the food....

We finally realized that he is trying to be reverent by folding his arms!

This is how he folds his arms...cute huh? He does really good during FHE or family prayers. If we can just get him to act like this during Sacrament meeting we'd be so happy!

I think he is doing pretty good for a little 15 month old! He is such a sweet heart! Good job Caden!

6 pounds and 5 weeks to go!

Look how huge I am!! I went to the Doctor on Tuesday and he said the ultrasound shows the baby is measuring at 6 pounds. She is not as big as they thought, but she won't be small. Probably between 8.5 and 9 pounds. I can handle that....done it before! We are going to do one more ultrasound in a few weeks to make sure. I can't believe she is almost here! I had a baby shower last night. It was so fun! (Thanks Girls!) I have so much pink... it's awesome!!

BRAG TIME!

These are Orion's awards he got the last day of school. He got the Citizen of the Year award of his class. He also got an award for being on the Honor Roll all year. He got an award in band and one from the 1st graders thanking him for being a leader. He read to them everyday of the school year for their reading time. He got 3 free meal coupons from JB's, Mimi's Cafe, and The Iron Skillet! Orion's teacher says he has a very unique way of looking at life and she loves it. She says he is a great writer and artist! He gave her a Book of Mormon this year. He wrote the missionaries # in it and marked Moroni 10:3-5 and asked her to pray about it. He is a great little missionary. We are so pleased with him!!

Titan also got the award for Citizen of the Year for his class!! He got an award for running 77.5 miles in the running club this year. He got one for being on the Honor Roll all school year too. He got an award from his teacher for All around good character. She said he was the star of her class this year!! He is a friend to everyone and everyone follows his example. Titan also got free meal coupons. Way to go Titan!

Here we are at Mimi's Cafe celebrating! We went to see Night of the Museum too. I feel so blessed to have these boys in my life. They truly are amazing kids! I learn so much from their Valiant spirits!

Baby Is Huge!

So I went to the doctor yesterday. She said I am measuring 4 weeks bigger than I should be. She measured a few times to make sure.... and sure enough, another huge baby! I will be getting an ultrasound done at my next visit in 2 weeks. I was hoping for a small, petite little girl, but as long as she's healthy and still a GIRL, I guess I'll be happy. I can't believe how close it is. We have a lot of work to do. I need to get my house organized before she gets here. Other wise it won't get done for a year or two. (Whenever our life settles down again) Does your life settle down after baby number 5?
