Our First Day's Home!

It was weird coming home from the hospital with a baby. You see, it has been me and Herm for over 10 years and now we have this bundle of joy in our house. And you know that he is in the house. We got home and our cats did not know what to think. They stayed away from Connor for a good week or so. But now they seem to be OK with him. The first night home was kind of hard. Connor did not want to sleep and I could barely keep my eyes open. I woke up Herm around 3 in the morning and told him that I needed sleep and if he would get up with him so I could. And he did.. He is a amazing husband. Herm is really good with Connor. And he was the first one to change a pooping diaper. After the first night, things started to slow down. Connor started to sleep and I started to feel better day by day. A lot of people started to bring us dinners. I didn't have to cook dinner for a week after. That was great.. I have wonderful family and friends.

The BIG Day!!!

Well it all started on Father's Day. Me and my family all went up to my Grandma's house for dinner. Dinner was at 4 in the afternoon. So we ate and when we got done, we all went outside and sat on the porch and talked. Me and Herm were going to go down to wal-mart, but I had to go and use the bathroom first.. I went in and my water started to break. So everyone was leaving and I told Herm that we needed to go home and get our stuff and go to the hospital. He asked why and I told him that my water is starting to break. He asked me if it was the real thing. You see, we went over to the hospital a couple of times the past weeks and nothing. So we were getting discouraged. So we headed over to the hospital and my doctor came in at 6:30 that night and said that we were not going to leave this time, that we are having a baby. The doctor told me that if I had not stated into labor by 7 in the morning, that he was going to put me on the pit and speed things up a little. Well nothing happen, so they put me on the pit. By 3 o'clock in the afternoon on June 22, 2009, I started to push. At 4:39 p.m., we got Connor Scott Olsen. He weight 8 lbs and 2 oz and was 21 1/2 inches. He was born on my late brother Twinkie's birthday. That day will always be very special to me. He was doing great, but I was not. I started to bleed out and the doctor did not think he could stop it, but he did. So we didn't have to go in the OR. I really don't remember much until later that night. We had to stay in the hospital for 5 days because of me losing a lot of blood and Connor had jaundice and had to stay under lights. That was the greats day of mine and Herms life. We got our baby boy!!!

First Pictures of Connor!

The first ultrasound we got was the 23 of Dec. 2008. It was really neat Christmas gift to see and hear our baby. After that we got a lot more ultrasounds. They found an tumor on my right Ovary the first ultrasound, so we had to go to a special doctor up north.. They told me that it should be OK until the baby gets here and then they would remove it after the baby was born. Well it did not work out that way. On Feb. 24, 2009 at 4 in the morning, I woke up in so much pain. I got into the bath to see if that would help and it did not. At 5 in the morning, I woke up Herm and told him to call my doctor and find out what we needed to do. But he didn't. We just went to the hospital. We got there and they told us that they are taking me up to the UofU in Salt Lake City. So I got to ride in the ambulance and Herm followed me up in the car. It was 4:30 in the afternoon and I was going in for emergency surgery. I was 21 weeks pregnant and both me and the baby did really good.. That is a day I will never forget..

Found out about Connor!!

The day we found out that I was pregnant was October 27, 2008. The night before I had a dream that I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. So I woke up that morning and took one and it can back positive. Herm was at work that morning, so I called him and told him what I did and what it said. He told me to take another test to make sure. So I did and it said the same. I saved the tests for Herm to see when he got home.. We were both just so happy because we have been trying to get pregnant for 8 years now and it has finally happen.
