The House Saga Continues!

Well, a lot of people have been asking about the status of the new house.....Well, we still don't have a clue as to when we might be moving. It is starting to get a little frustrating, okay a lot frustrating! We had the guy who is wanting to buy our house stop by a week ago and say that he was still working on getting his financing in line and was working on a way to possibly do what is called a lease option so we could move on to our new house. Well, you have to have so much equity in your house to be able to do that and we don't. Andy had already talked to our mortgage lender about that option at the begining of this whole process, so we already knew it wasn't an option. So here we sit waiting once again for this guy to try to figure something else out. The neighbors up the street are in the same boat as us but they do have enough equity to do the lease option so I think they are closing on Monday on both of their houses. I hope they do, they are stressed out too.
As far as us.....we might end up loosing the house we were wanting to move into anyway. I don't think that would be that bad. Who knows we might be able to find something else once our house actually closes. We thought that finding a house would speed up the process but I don't think it maked a difference. Plus, Andy is offically laid off as of this week so we probably won't qualify for it anymore too. They say that won't matter where he is just on a "seasonal layoff". But we will see. Until, next time!!

The Christmas Tree......

We don't know what is going on with the moving situation and we didn't want to have to move a tree, but we decided to go and get one anyway. So Brandon took us out to the tree picking place and this is the one he chose. Not the most pretty of trees but it is special because Brandon not only picked it out but decorated it too. Daddy helped with the lights but he did the rest by himself. I don't think we will get around to doing any other decorations but we got a tree up which is a big accomplishment for us. If it wasn't for Brandon and wanting to go chop down our own tree, we might not of gotten one.

Some Cute Pics!

Me not so cute, Tyler on the other hand....way cute!

The EXTREMELY proud brother showing Tyler off.

I thought this one was cute. He looks like a big stuffed bear too. The bear was given to Brandon from the nurse at the hospital, and the hippo was given to Tyler from Big Brother Brandon.

This is the outfit he wore today. I think it is way cute so I took some pictures of it.

Update....pictures to follow....

So I have decided to update, but I don't want to deal with picking out pictures right now. As you have read, we were able to welcome the long awaited Tyler James Hadlock into our family on Tuesday at 4:25 pm. Here is how it all went down.........

We called into the hospital at 6:00 in the morning and they said to be there at 7:15 so I got up took a shower and got Brandon ready and took him to the neighbors and we were off. We got there and they officially started the lovely drug Pitocin at 8:30ish and we were on our way, so I thought.....My doctor came in at 1:15 and said I was still at a 3 1/2, that was frustrating! So he broke my water and then the labor that I remember kicked in. At 2:30 they checked me and I was at a 5 and I was also done, so we called in "Dr. Feelgood" as Andy likes to call him. Kudos to all of you women out there who don't need him, but lets be honest.....once you have had it you can't go back. ANYWAY!!!! At 4:00 the nurse came in and asked me if I could feel that he had dropped, I told her that I couldn't, she said maybe you aren't as ready as I think. So she checked and she said oh yes you are. She said lets practice some pushes, I said okay and so we did three pushes and she said okay wait a minute we better call the doctor up. So, in comes the doctor and we started pushing at 4:25 the baby was out. Not bad considering last time I had to push for 3 hours! I was suprised by how fast it went once my water was broke.

We were able to come home yesterday at 4:00. Since then I have had to adjust to having 2. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I just don't have enough attention to give and my poor Big Brother Brandon is suffering for attention. Luckly my mom is here to provide some to him. But she is leaving tomorrow and it will be all up to me. Wish me luck! Tyler and I are doing just fine, he is a little jaundice so we have to take him to the hospital to get a lab test everyday and I have to take him to the doctor on Monday for a check-up. So far they haven't had me do anything for it, like a lightbed or sunlight. But maybe if he isn't better by Monday then they will send one home with us.

Well, that is all I have for now. I will do some more posting later with pics. But I wanted to let everyone know how things (AKA the labor) went. Love you all! Until next time!

Introducing Tyler James Hadlock. He was born on Dec 2, 2008 at 4:25 pm. He weighs 8 lbs 3 oz and is 21 1/2 inches tall. His mommy and him are doing very well and, if all goes well, are expected to be released from the hospital on Dec 4 sometime in the morning. Tyler is a very happy and healthy baby boy and has easily won the hearts of his Mommy, Daddy, and adoring older brother Brandon. I hope you enjoy these pictures for now and as soon as Jen is at home and feeling up to it I will have her give you all a more thorough update including more pictures.

Let's Do This!!!

That is right folks. Andy came into my room about 15 min ago and said they are ready for me. I am a little freaked out, but excited at the same time. I need to be there at 7:15 to be induced. But I wanted to let all of you know just in case I forget to text someone and then I can say, "You should check my blog" :) Until next time, when I have 2 CHILDREN instead of 1 CHILD!!!

Brandon Is A Cutie!

So Brandon has for the last week or so been asking me to get on to the "baby page" and see how many days we have left. Well, yesterday we got on and he was so excited to see that we only had 1 day left. This morning he was a little upset when I told him he had to go to daycare, he wanted to come to my dr appointment with me to get the baby out. Well, he was even more disappointed when he found out we didn't get our baby today. He made me go onto the blog and change it to say 1 day again because it had gone down to 0 days and we don't have our baby. You may be asking yourself, why. Well, it was because doctors don't like to work on holidays so they didn't want to start anyone last weekend, so they all got bumped to today. Well, my doctor tried to get me on today and the hospital said they didn't have any room for little ole me, so guess who has to wait until tomorrow. That is right me and of course the excited big brother Brandon. I have to call at 6:00 in the morning to see if they have any beds and if they don't then I get to call about every 2 hours to see if they have one yet. I hope they get me in early so maybe I can have him before it gets too late into the day. My doctor did strip my membrains today to see if I might possibly be able to get things started by myself, he is also on call tonight so he said if I show up he wouldn't turn me away, but I have to be having consistant contractions to qualify. Keep you all posted, don't hate me if it takes me a minute to post any new information. I will do my best.
