HEY GUYS!!
We are so excited to let everyone know that Colton has made his appearance!! He is absolutly AMAZING.
I went in for the C section at 4 on Dec. 21st and Colton was born at 4:13! He weighed 6 lbs 15 1/2 ounces and was 20 and 1/2 inches long. Beautiful.
We got to come home on the 23rd. We only had to stay two nights. I was ready .. I am slowly recovering and Colton is adjusting really well to being in his new home.
Mimi Dar and PawPaw David (we have not come up with a different name yet) were able to fly in to be here and also Mee Maw Sherry and PawPaw Roy, Uncle Roy and Aunt Kelsey made it BARELY in time to see us being wheeled out. It was so nice to be surrounded by our loved ones!!
I am trying to adjust to having a new born, so I don't know how often at first I will update this! I might get Krista to get on and let everyone know..
But we just want to say thank you for your thougths and prayers, and for all the well wishes!!
We love you all!
Shauna, Jett, Colton and Krista

Letter to my baby
To my first born,
WOW, today is the big day. I am very excited to meet you! I just can't believe that after 9 months of it being "you and me Kid" I am about to bring you into this world and share you with everyone.
I have so many promises for you. I promise you unconditional love. As you get older, you will realize what a rare thing this is, but your mommy and daddy will love you unconditionally, no matter what this big, bad world brings, you will always have us in your corner. We have waiting for you, longed for you, prayed for you for so long it seems, and all this time our love for you has just been building and building.
We promise to give you all the tools you need to succeed in life, self confidence, faith in the Lord, morals to do the right thing and the knowledge that failure is not always wrong or a bad thing, we have to fail sometimes in order to learn.
We promise you a safe haven for a home... that when you are in your home, you will be surrounded by love, laughter, support and I am sure a little football!! I promise that your dad and I will use kind words to you and to each other. Yes, we might sometimes argue but we will do so with respect for our home, it is not a battle ground.
Our hopes and dreams for you are so high, we want you to grow up to be a loving, caring individual. We want you to be confident enough to be your own person, to walk the right path with your head held high, even if it is not the path everyone else seems to be walking. We just want your life to be a happy and full filling one.
We love you so very much. I cannot belive that in 12 hours I will be holding you in my arms. It can't get here soon enough.
We love you, child of our hearts!
Mom and Dad

Fire Alarms, Stairs, Paramedic's OH MY
Ok.. so Friday was a little nuts. Let me back up by saying about three months or so ago, my co workers and I watched this building a block away from us burn to the GROUND in 30 minutes. I am not kidding, from the time we saw a little flame in the window to the whole thing being on the ground was 30 minutes... so I have been a tad bit freaked about working on the 5th floor.
Ok, so Friday afternoon, the fire alarm goes off. Last time the alarm went off, there was no recording. This time, a man's voice came on and said "This buildings alarm has been activated. Please make your way to the nearest exit". . Well, you don't need to tell this girl twice, I beat all my co workers down. I was not RUNNING mind you, but I was certainly hauling butt, you know, to be on the safe side.
We get to the first floor and they tell us "yes, this was just a false alarm" So I say "ok, I am not going to take the stairs back up, I will just wait for the elvators to work again" About this time, I realize I am having a problem catching my breath, which is a no brainer, I get short of breath just walking around the building sometimes, so you can imagine after five flights what I was doing.. then everyone starts getting nervous because I really could NOT catch my breath, I start hyperventilating. I was shaking like a leaf.. it was freaky. The fire men show up for the alarm and end up coming over to take a look at me... umm kind of embarassing but I let them do their thing. When I went to the doctor on Thursday my blood pressure was 110 over 90 and when he took it after the alarm it was 170... yes, I was freaked out. So I finally calmed myself down and went up the elevator to relax for a minute before I went home.. then I started getting cramps.. Karla, my co worker, was like "GET IN THE CAR".. I called my doc and he said that it was braxton hicks and that I just needed to go home and relax, drink lots of water and if they continue, to come on in. They did not continue, so I did not have to go to the hospital.
I must have really got the baby riled up because the little darling spent the whole night kicking and moving, just letting me know "Hey mom, I am alright in here".. haha, it was actually a relief.
I had many calls from co workers, the conversations were the same.. starting off with concern of my health, the baby etc.. after they were assured that I was alright, the lectures began, they were all given with love, but man I heard it. I don't know what possessed me to haul down the stairs, all I can say is, I had the adrenaline pumping and there was no slowing my butt down!!
Other than that.. things are great. On Thursday's appt the doc said my cervix is thinned out ALOT but no dialation... we can see what he says next Thursday, if I make it that long!!
Hope to hear from you guys!
We love you!

14 more days, I can't believe it
I cannot believe that I have been pregnant for 38 weeks! INSANE. I am ready to have this baby though. I am ready to sleep comfortably (when I do get to sleep that is) Walk without waddling, have a glass of wine HA HA.. and of course, I can't wait to meet this baby!
Everyone is ready, kind of on pins and needles. Every day when I leave work, I have to make sure everything is in order, just in case. I have gotten quite used to everyone touching my tummy and guessing if it is a boy or girl (the consensus is BOY, but we will see).
Jett and Krista are really ready to meet the baby as well. As fun as it is to sit and watch my stomach morph into many different shapes, we can't wait to hold and kiss and touch this little one.
We had Jett's Christmas party on Saturday, it was a lot of fun. I actually stayed up until 10! WOW. We won a couple cool gifts, had a nice meal that included chocolate covered strawberries. The highlight though was that they paid for us a room and the next morning we went to IHOP!! I love, love, love IHOP and we never go because it is usually busy and it is all the way in town, so that was a nice way to cap off the weekend!
Grandma is in the hospital again, she was having a lot of pain and they think it might be gout.. I will let you know what they find out!!
I hope that this finds you doing well! We love and miss you and will be emailing once the little one comes!!
Love
Shauna

WOW
So my friend at work who was due the same day as me had her baby!! She knew she was going to have a C section but she developed pre eclampsia and they took the baby early. He only weighs 4 lbs 9 ounces, so tiny!! Makes me so ready to hold this baby.
The days are getting close.. only 20 more til my due date.. I keep thinking that I am ready but then I wonder, am I really? HA HA
Saturday we listened to Kent's football game on the internet, they did not end up winning but they had a good season and there is always next year! Jeff's team is still in the play offs, so we will hope they take state again this year.
That night we had Krista's crowning as Ms. BRCC. She looked so pretty, kind of freaked me out that she was wearing a wedding dress, but that is something that the committee makes the girls do. Hopefully it will be a LONG WHILE before she puts one of those on again :)
This weekend is busy, we have the parade, Sid's birthday party, and then Jett's Christmas party.. which should all be fun. I am sure I will have pictures up later!
Well, that is all for now! I am feeling good, just ready for the baby to come!
Love to all!
