I didn't get any pics with Andy and Brelyn at the hospital but his is right after we got home

Well Brelyn decided that she didn't want to come out. she was too comfy. I was dilated to 5 for a week and she was in the birth canel but she just didn't want make the last effort to come see us. So on Oct 26th 6 days after her due date we went into the hospital to be inducted. I was really worried to be induced because they say PIT make contracts come hard and fast and I go natural so to say the least I was scarred. We got there at 6 in the morning to find that the hospital was full so we ended up waiting in the waiting area until 8 am. When we got in a pre room where they check you and got all situated I ask if we could just break my water and see if that would do it. So at 8:30 they broke my water. And we waited about 15min after I stared to have contractions they were coming hard and about every 5 or so min if not less in between. So we ended up not haveing to use PIT which was great. I was sitting on the birth ball and they hadn't check me since I move into a real birthing room so i asked the nurse when they usally check. she said when ever anyone complains so I said I would like to be check to see how far I was. So I climbed back on the bed and she check me and Brelyn was right there ready to come out. Nurse said hold it I need to call the Doctor that was the worst every trying to hold the baby in. With her running around frantically trying to get everything ready and yelling back and forth with another nurse trying figure out where the docter is. I telling them I need a doctor because she was coming. Dr V. finally came in right from a surgury she was doing  couple pushed and she was here. She was born at 9:45 am on the 26th. When she first came they set her on my stomach and she decided to relevie her self she peeed all over me. The joke was if she didn't pee she would have been a 8 pound baby. She look so much like Amerie that 1st day but after that she changed and didn't look like either of my other girl she look like Brelyn

Bubble Baby

So as you can see we have a new addition to our blog the floating baby in a bubble. Tayla loves this ticker. When every it is on someones blog she talks about it forever. So I thought why not  humor her and place one on our blog for the last remaining weeks. She  thinks it is cool that we now have a bubble baby.So welcome Floating Bubble Baby to our family until the real missy moo decides to make her debut.

Locks of Love

Tayla  decided a long time ago that she wanted to give her hair to someone who doesn't have any hair. When she 1st heard of it she thought she could cut her hair and give it to Amerie because she didn't have any hair. So she would go around saying "I am going to cut my hair and give it to Amerie so she can have hair too!" Well we decided to get the job done by the best hair dresser in Utah while we where there this summer.  

 (Thanks Steph).

Afterwards.

The Back

She looked so grown up. When did my baby girl get so big? This is her real first hair cut. I have trimmed it twice before but never Cut Cut it. I am so proud of her that she wanted to donate it to someone who could use it. We took off 10 inches! She has such a giving spirit. She loves her new haircut. She tells me all the time that "she looks like Grandma Carter but she has black hair." or " I like that my hair isn't so hot on my neck" or "I look like a princess now mom." She is such a sweet girl. We love her so much and can not imagine our lives without her.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

We were fortunate to have some good friends that gave us tickets for seats right behind the home plate for the Pittsburgh Pirate game back in Aug. We love that we are so close to the two major league fields. We love going to the games and the girls love it too.

Dancing  while on the big screen 

There was a George Thorogood concert at the end of the game and Fireworks. The music was so loud we couldn't make out any of the lyrics and I had no idea who he was, so the concert was kinda a bust but the fireworks were great. Amerie was asleep in my arms when the music began then about the 3rd song in she threw up all over me and the floor. I am pregnant at the time and the smell start me gagging I was real proud of myself that I didn't add to the mess that Amerie had just  made. I think that the vibrations from the music must of made her sick because she was acting fine before and after she threw up. And we could feel the beat so strong from the seat because they were so close.
