Tenley's little for and monkey toes!! (thanks to her dad)

Doesn't look like she enjoyed this at all. My poor baby girl!

All swaddled up and ready to go see her mama!

My mom finally holding her after being in the OR with me.

Papa's little girl!

Just when I thought..

The whole time I was pregnant I figured that I would have this baby just like everyone else...nope. 10 months of pregnancy and a emergency csection. Hold up you say!! Yep you heard right a csection. All those contractions started to put stress on Tenley so when her heart beat changed they throw on the oxygen mask and call my doctor. At that point I told Tucker what had happened and he said he need to go outside(which means he needs to smoke). He was so stressed out after seeing me with the mask on and the nurses basically freaking out. My doctor got there in about 15 mins. As soon as he came in the room he said well its time to have that baby. I went from freaked out to terrified. Once Dr. Burke told us I was wheeled out of the room and head to the OR. My mom was left behind getting on the gown, grabbing the computer telling Tucker what was going to be happening now. Oh it was a mess. I was so scared and all I wanted was my husbands hand.

Doesnt this look like fun!! I was so drugged I couldnt stop shaking even after it was over. I was in the recovery room for an hour shaking so bad it made my blood pressure drop to seriously low levels.

I have no idea if Tucker even saw all this but i know my mom was trying so hard to get him online in there. But we did get video an pictures.

Then our beautiful Tenley was born!!!
Her dad got to see her from the web cam before I saw her.
That really meant a lot to me.
Getting Tenley all cleaned up and ready to met her mom!

This feeling of holding our daughter for the 1st time is the the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced. Its a love like no other.

Im finally getting INDUCED

So the weeks came and went and I was now 42 weeks pregnant...agh. I wanted to cry, pull my hair out, kill my doctor but most of all I just wanted Tenley to finally get here. If you felt bad for me then you should feel worse for the hubs. Poor guy couldn't even be home then every day he would get online to ask me "anything babe" "how are you feeling" "when is she going to come".

But there was a break in the clouds because 10Aug10 I was going to be induced!!! Finally!!

Ok if you laugh I will kill you cause I look like Im having twins haha

My amazing husband was with me the whole day from 0800 until birth. He really made me feel like I had him by my side. We had a good time talking, playing games, watched each other nap.. he was even there for the contractions haha I have an amazing man!

Heres me and Tuck on web cam. Thank you God and hospital for good Internet connection this day!

Well I got all hooked up to the monitors and whatever. This is a pic of our sweet baby girls heart and mine.

So the day was pretty crazy they where trying to get my body ready since it was going to happen on its own. I was givin a few kinds of things which didnt work. The Doctor had to break my water which hurt so bad I cant explain to you the feeling. From that point on the contractions got worse and then I decided maybe that hot bath would feel good. It did and I recommend it to every pregnant mom out there. However after about 40 mins I was in to much pain. My body still wasnt ready to have a baby and I couldnt stand anymore contractions so time for the feel good drugs!!! YAY

Have to say it was so hard to get one when my contractions where 1 min apart and they want you not to move haha I was like ok I wont me what the hell. After I got it I was in heavn!!!

Oh My

Ok so my husband an a few friend have said "you need to up date your blog". Well I have found that it takes time to do this and these days I dont aways have it haha. But I will try harder ~k~

Just another day of work...

God I love him so much! Im so proud of him. He works so
hard.


Taken a break!


Right corner: Tuck and another SSG ready to fight over whos college
football teams better haha



Out on a mission. The view from Tuckers Mrap. I swear he is in
Idaho haha well looks like it huh?

A farewell to a fallen soldier.

June 8th Tucker lost a good friend an soldier SGT Erick Klusacek. Its hard when
any soldier loses there life over but its even harder when it hits so close to home.
They had a very nice ceremony (from what Tucker told me) and the rest of the troop is handling it the best they can. He was honored here in the states the way he should be. And is survived by his Wife Amber and daughter Mekella.

~~Rakkasan~~

RIP: Sgt Erick Klusacek

In 7 weeks we will be parents!!

33 weeks has finally arrived. Its been easy other then my husband not being here to experience the weeks with me. Keeping him involved hasn't been the easiest task but I am doing my best. My heart breaks knowing how bad he wants to be home with me. He is a such a good man and I know if he was home he wouldn't miss one doctor appointment, would baby shop anytime I wanted him to, he would help me pick things for her room and the gear we want so I guess what I'm saying is I'm a lucky girl to have him.
Tenleys room is about done. I have been nesting a lot lately. I washed all her clothes, sheets, towels. folded everything a few times over lol. Her cradle is finish and in the room agh feels good to say that it wasn't a simple project. Just one very important thing missing... we need Daddy home.
