mera. I think he did a great job!!
Tyler's preschool had its Christmas program today. They sang all kinds of Christmas songs and it was so cute. Tyler had to remember like 8 songs!! I had been hearing him sing them around the house for a couple of weeks so it was great to see the final product. :) Here is a video of the last song, one of Tyler's favorites, We wish you a Merry Christmas!! Enjoy!
Katey had her first dance recital on Sunday night. It was so cute and she did such a great job. Thankfully, another mom video taped it for me with my video camera but I did manage to get a little of it with my other camera. Here is some video of it. And some pictures of her. She was so excited and loved it. She kept telling everyone she was going on stage to dance. Hahahaha! She is such a little ham. I hope you enjoy the video and pictures. Oh, and sorry for the shakiness I was holding Jake who was wiggling and Tyler was at my feet whining!! 
some contractions but they were like 30-40 min apart so I didn't really think anything of it. For those who dont know, they want them like 4-6 min apart before you come in. So, I went to bed. I had a contraction 
or two and fell asleep, woke up about 2 hours later 1230 with another contraction but then fell back asleep. Then at 130am I woke up again but this time they were like 6-10 min apart so at 230am I woke up Ryan and said I think we need to go. He got up we through the rest of the stuff in the bag and headed out at about 250am. When I started wlking around the contractions starting getting closer so I knew it was definitely time. We got to the hospital about 310am and they hooked me up to the monitors to watch my contractions and then about 20min later someone came in and checked me and she said i was alrady 6cm! I was shocked...I was only 3cm and had to walk around the hospital before they would take me on the other too. My blood pressure was high was they moved me to the labor room and took some blood work. They said they had to get the results before the epidural becuase they might have to give me somthing else for that. The nurse told me if I felt like I needed to have a bowel movement tell her...so, at about 4am I told her and she checked me and I was already 8cm!! She ran to go see if the blood results were back. At 440am or so the epidural guy comes and I am in some serious pain!! They tried to get me to sit up to do it but I was having a contraction and I couldnt move...the midwive said lets checked her first and I was already 10cm....So they said you have to sit and and he can do it or push. I just yelled get him out of me!!! :) So I started pushing and 12 min later at 5am Jake was here!! Don't get me wrong it was the worst pain in the world to push that little guy out!! I don't recommend it! :) But I guess God wanted me to experience it!! :) Jacob Madison was 6lbs6oz and 20 in long. Tyler was 6lb6oz and 19.8in so about the same. Jake has a little height on his brother... Overall, I am so glad he is here and healthy!!! Tyler and Katey just love him. Katey might have some issues when Nana leaves (she makes her carry her around and snuggle with her) but she does love on Jake and want to hold and kiss on him!! As does Tyler. He is doing great as a 2nd time big brother!!
