I love this picture of the three kids. I wish that Kade was not being covered up as much but Briley and Parker sure love their little brother. I also wish that I would have covered the couch with something so it looked a little better.
Kaden is here! Born January 3, 2010. 7 lbs 14 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. He was born at 5:42 am. He came a few days early. I was originally scheduled for my c-section on January 8 at 11:30 but I guess that day was not good enough. So here is the story summed up.... I started having contractions about 1-1:30 am that lovely Sunday morning. They continued to get a little stronger so around 3:00 I had Andrew go get me the exercise ball because a friend used one when she went into labor and said that it helped with the contractions. Unfortunatly It did not help me a bit. So Andrew started timing my contractions because I had no idea how far apart they were or how long they were lasting and they were getting stronger and stronger. At 4:00 Andrew called my mom to come over because they were 2 minutes apart. Mom called my Doctor and told him we were going over to the hospital and by 4:30 we were on our way. When I got to the Hospital I was dialated to a 9 so within that hour Michael Kaden was born. I have to tell you all that I did not enjoy the whole contraction thing so kudos to all of you who have babies naturally, you are amazing. I am so grateful for epiderals and drugs. I came home from the Hospital on Tuesday and we are all doing great! Briley was not happy that we were having a boy, she wanted a sister but now she would not trade him, she loves him too much. Parker is so good with him. He is concerned when he cries and tries to shush him and love him. They are really quite good with the baby. It is a little bit of an adjustment with a newborn again but it is fun. Thanks to family and friends for all the help and love that we have received. I don't know what we would do without you! I will have to post pictures later so be patient hopefully it will be before he turns two.
Ok so I tried to be creative and find a cute little picture to say "IT'S A BOY" but I am not that smart to find one so here is the news. I do have to say that when I came home to tell Briley I knew that she would be very disapointed and she was. She did not cry but she wanted to. My poor little girl wanted a baby sister so bad. She is not happy and she is tramatized for a little while. She definatly not excited about this good news. Andrew is excited as any father would be to have another boy to carry on the Woodworth name. As for me I am indifferent and am just happy to know that it is a healthy baby boy. If there are any suggestions on names we are up for the taking.
You have to love summer time. Too bad it is almost over. This past summer was a fun one. We spent lots of time at 7 peaks water park this year and Briley super tan. The kids love to go swimming though. Spending time with Family was sure a highlight as well. We went to family reunions and family get togethers which are always SO much fun to do. We loved having Tyler, Mindy and Brooklyn here for the summer. It was sad to see them leave again. Good luck in Florida though. Hope to see you soon in warm weather!
For all of you who thought I had fallen off the face of the earth I did not. Or if you thought that I was never going to blog again, you my friend are wrong. We do not have internet since we moved and so I am limited to when I can get online. Usually it is late at night after the kids have gone to bed and then I need to get on Andrews laptop to do anything "online" that I need to do. By that time I usually decide it is not worth getting online for anything and I just go to bed. Well not tonight. Things are crazy as ever. I am waiting for summer to come and the sun to come out for good so we can go to seven peaks and enjoy the summer. Although I have to say that the rain has been a nice change. I do love the smell of rain. The kids and I have just been enjoying the warm days that we have by playing out back in the yard and going on walks. Andrew is still plugging away at work.
This last weekend Briley and Parker did a fun run up Provo Canyon. It is a fund raiser put on by one of the pediatricians that works in Springville. She has been putting on this race for 3 years and all the proceeds go to help the Children in Africa. This year they are builing a center for education and purchasing mesquito nets. Over the years the money has helped with immunizations, clothing and items that are needed for the children. The nice thing is that 100% of the proceeds go to this organization. So this is the second year that Briley has participated and the first for Parker. It was raining during the race but the kids were good sports and had fun.
Briley just finished her 1/4 mile run
After the race each child recieved a ribbon and a prize
