Payton Taylor Gilbert has Arrived!!!

Payton Taylor Finally arrived At 2:26 am on December 3rd!! After being in early somewhat active labor all day and when I say all day I mean from 6:45 am on Dec.2nd until
about 10 oclock that night when it went into full blown Labor!! I went up to L and D twice
On the 2nd and they sent me home both times saying just relax at home they would
most likely be seeing me soon! Well The second trip was made at about
8:30pm and I was sent home by 9! When we got home I took a warm bath like they told me and I just tried to relax. We decided to try and sleep and see what would happen, Well I just couldnt get to sleep the pain just kept coming and it was getting worse! Jeremy called back to L and D and they said that I could come back but there was a chance I would be sent home again. I sat and balled for about 10 minutes before Jeremy said get in the car we are going back and if they dont admit you Im going to raise hell...So we took Mackenzie back over to our neighbors and headed back to L and D! By this time contractions were like 2 minutes apart and I couldnt walk through them let alone talk through them! We got up there and they checked me and I was 4cm and 75% so they admitted me and called the midwife on call! So 11:30 midnight I was put in a Labor and Delivery room and waited for my epidural all while having to get through the contractions! Finally she came and I got the epidural and they tell you it takes about 30 minutes to kick in..I had only had it for about 15 minutes when the midwife decided to break my water at 7cm...well she broke my water and within seconds I was COMPLETE and ready to deliver!! Jeremy and I looked at eachother like ARE YOU SERIOUS right now!!! It took about 5 pushes total and Payton arrived!!! All 6 pounds and 1 ounces and 20 inches long!! Im so Happy shes finally here and Mackenzie couldnt be more excited to be a big sister!! She is always wanting to kiss her and help do whatever she can!!!

Thanksgiving!

So This Year our Thanksgiving was PERFECT!! Well almost...Mom and John flew up here for a short weekend visit...I was missing my mom and John and Kenzie was missing her mimi and pappy!! We had hopes that Miss Payton would make her appearance while they were here but she waited until the after they left to make her presence!! Our visit with Mom and John was amazing!!! We took them to all the places we could or atleast that I could get around easily being I was 39 weeks pregnant and was in a lot of pain and it was getting harder and harder to get around!! Thanksgiving was so nice mom helped show me how to make some home made dishes and then our neighbors Amber and Jared Fryed the Turkey and made some dishes to go with it and over all we had a Huge feast and Plenty of leftovers!!!
