D'Enna

Ok our little miss D'Enna...

I had bunko on Wednesday the 9th and we all joked I would go into labor when i got home just because my mom was in Washington DC and Susan Johns mom was out of town as well. Well I started having contractions ever 10 minutes when I got home that night. Nothing serious so I got kaydence to bed and then kind of watched TV and kept track of contractions for an hour. My mom has made it back into Gunnison (I am relieved and my mom is put on notice to watch Kaydence)I told John to got to bed (it was nearly midnight and he may or may not have to got work). So I then called the hospital to get some opinions. I had been contracting for 3 hours every 8 minutes on the dot. They said to take a bath and relax for a while so I did. still nothing.(2 am) I double check my hospital bags. charge my Ipod, and try to sleep( have you ever tried to sleep while in labor?) so I got up at 5 with John and we decided to still wait a little longer before we headed to the hospital( my contractions are weak sauce, still consistent)
. So we ordered some Five star breakfast( the drive inn not the rating) because I knew it could be a while if we went to the hospital. And waited for kaydence. Well it is finally 8 am so I decided to go to the hospital. we all that freaking contracting and I had only dilated from a 2 to a 3!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Well they monitored my contractions for a while but pretty much said you are barely in labor and you might be a while you can stay here or go home. so I said Peace out!!!. I told John to go to work, I didn't want him being home bored all day when there were things he needed to get to at work. so He left and I went to my moms.

Mindy and I took our kids for a walk( i mean fat pregnant lady jog) for about an hour) If that didn't get things going I didn't know what would. haha. Well we got back and decided to tie the only baby Quilt I wanted for D'Enna (we got like 30 with Kaydence). SO we tied that went to Subway for lunch. Just a normal day, but I was Really feeling my contractions around 3 so I told John to finish things up and head home. he got home around 4:30, I really didn't want to get sent home again so I like a retard decide John of all people should take me for a 4-wheeler ride. DON'T do this ever!!! John was truly drove like a grandpa, but he might as well have driven like his usually self. I felt like my hips were literally falling off my body! ha ha. So we made it to the top of the "G" hill and we turned around and headed back get our truck and got to the hospital.... Well got Checked around 7 pm and i had went from a 3 to a 4. man I was so mad at myself. But I was effaced and everything else so my Doctor told me I was camping. Well we got settled in and John fell asleep. ha ha. I just watched the monitors thinking open like a flower. ha ha. The Nurse came in every few hours to see how I was doing, I really wanted to go Oh Natural this time so she wanted to make sure I was OK). Well me and my mini contractions kept going through the evening and my Doctor and I ( john was still sleeping) decided to start Pitocin at around midnight. Don't worry I woke john up to tell them they were doing this. haha. They got the pit going and things got intense! FINALLY. My water had still not broke, my Doctor said he would be back at 3 to break it if these new contractions hadn't already. well he came back and I had finally fell asleep, and of course I woke up at 3:30 to find I had just missed him and he wasn't coming back till 7 WHAT?! So I decided to wake John up and got for a walk. haha. My contractions were finally to the point of taking my breath away. So a walk was nice to get my mind off things. Well I was Dilated to a 7 at 7 am on Friday when my doctor came back and broke my water. This was BANANAS! they upped my pitocin around 6:50 so by the time my water was broke EVERYTHING was more intense! I had the nurse come check me at 7:30 I had already dilated to a 8. John was asking for the epidural. I said no. and to come back soon. Well in 5 minutes I told John get her back in here!!! with something. well she barely lifted my sheet and said the baby's head is THERE!!. So I am trying to focus on not ripping the bed sides off and staying under control. haha the nurse ran out to GET DOCTOR WILDEN HERE NOW!, then came back and started throwing tables, and delivery things around. while telling me to pant and not push! Has anyone ever been in this situation. The only thing you can think about or do IS push. So my panting turned into what seemed like a cat dying and me trying not to push. John is just rubbing my back trying to stay out of the way and telling me you are doing great babe, not much longer, you are amazing. stuff like that, probably because with Kayde's delivery i ripped his head off and told him to shut it. oops. Well after what seems like 5 hours( it couldn't have been 15 minutes) my doctor comes running in, he starts to wash up and the nurse says you don't have time for that! So the nurse helps him get gowned up and he sits down and says ok you can push with the next contraction. I just pushed, out comes her head, he clears everything out and gives me the ok, and i push a second time and the rest of her follows. So they take the baby and clean her up. while I deliver the placenta. They freaking took the bed apart to do this. They didn't have time to before I delivered the baby, so I was a little bugged by that. but Oh well. So I delivered our second perfect healthy baby girl on march 11, 2011 at 8 am, 6lbs, 3 oz and 19 inches long after being in labor for 3 days. Lets Just say the doctor said if my water breaks on its own I need to be running to the hospital next time.

We had lots of visitors, Both of her grandparents came by, and Kaydence. Kaydence liked her, but really was into the new dolly my mom had brought back from her trip. haha. Scott, Steph, Ken and Lindsi, Zack and Mindy came to see us and we had tons more come to meet Little D'Enna. But you forget things after 5 months. There is my novel. Congrats if you read it.

She had some hair, I was so excited.

Atley meeting her "baby Enna". She loved her form the start.

Kaydence like to touch her forehead. She was so careful and sweet.

This is my holly crap I just delivered my baby natrually face, and now have 2 kids

I love how he just stares at our babies! it is funny how Tiny he makes them look.

Due dates Shmue dates

D'Enna Barclay arrived Friday March 11, at 8 am. 2.5 weeks early, 6 pounds 3 onces 20 inches long. My dance recital is this friday, so after that is over I plan on truely playing catch up.

Time...

I think I would rather time grow on trees if we could pick between that or money. lol. It has been forever since I have posted. It is not that it hasn't been on my mind I really have planned on it but I lost my camera and a can't find my phone card adapter. I Just think posts tend to get boring with out pictures. So with out pictures here is a min update.
I am finishing up week 36 of my pregnancy, the doctor said this baby is ready to come, she is engaged, I'm dilated to a 2 and my cervix is super thin. YIKES. I am mostly ready for baby to be here, clothes blankets washed, bassinet fixed, diapers, wipes cream bought, and hospital bags mostly packed. I just am getting worried how I will be mommy to Kayde and share the love with this new baby. Oh we are 90 % sure she will be D'enna(after My grandpa Dee, and Johns Grandma Enna, kind of cool). Kayde asks when "Ne Enna" is coming to play or if she can come out yet. It makes me excited to think that Kaydence could be ready for a baby then she'll say stuff when I'm holding other infants like"give that baby back to it's mommy now!!" And it freaks me out. I know most people have 2, 3,4, 5... kids and love them all it is just crazy to think that it will work.
As you have read kaydence is a chatter box as usual. she was trying to sit on my lap facing me the other day and looked at my diminished lap and growing belly and said" sister move! I want to sit with mommy", I just laughed. She also likes to tease John, he will come home from being gone for 3-4 days and she won't say hi or even look at him , but the second he isn't watching she wants to smother and love on him. We have decided she does this cause she is mad at him for leaving. She has started to read to herself. Oh my it is funny. I decided I must have read her book enough because she know the story line to most of them. She is counting to 15 ish, and knows the basic colors. But she will only count and do colors on her own terms. If you ask she will just through out random answers. haha. She is getting pretty good with the alphabet as well. She amazes us every day we are so blessed to have her in our lives!
John... well he is the same as always. Working hard to play hard. He loves working in Manti with his dad and brother Scott. He has been able to go snowmobiling a lot more this winter than normal (like three times rather than once) so he has been pretty happy. He is off shed hunting or something now with some friends in Hanksville area. I hope he has fun. Kayde and I miss him while he is gone, but I have a hard time making him stay home when he works SOOO hard, to give us everything we need and want.
My studio is great. I did however have to get an assistant to help me finish out the year. Baylee Hamblin is my lifesaver. She is a sweet girl. I almost made it by my self, but after 3 weeks of finishing classes for the week on Thursdays and having contrations and just being SO WIPED OUT Fridays and Saturdays. I decided it was time. So she is helping me with everything but clogging. My recital is coming up fast and I think my kids are ready. But they are like all kids you never know. And with my luck I'll probably go into labor the day before the recital and have to postpone it. ha ha
I am planning on getting some pictures this afternoon. but you and I both know that probably won't happen.

January...SNOW

We had a great January, full of hanging out at the cabin, me having a break from dance, and lots of extended family time.

We started the year off with a bang. We met the family all at the cabin, and played in the snow non stop( well I took quiet a few breaks, I was pregnant) and lots of goodies and just had fun.

Next we went tubing with the Dryengs, You never know who is going to show up or when they are actually going to be there, but John and Kaydence had a blast.

Then we were able to have a great trip with our Northern Utah buds. They met us all at the cabin for a weekend of snowmobiling, and snowboarding. It is always great to get together with them!!

I am getting so nervous for my dance recital, this new baby and balancing everything!! I am really starting to feel pregnant. I guess I should means I am 30 + weeks ish. Dance is really wearing me down. So it was SUPER nice that I had my recital early so I could have a good Christmas/New Year break.

Kaydence is still silly her. She is so full of it( ya crap) she make me laugh all the time, I have no Idea where she come up with half of the things she says. But we love her to death, I think she is starting to get excited for siser to get here. Hopefully she'll still love her once she is out of mommy's tummy.

Christmas Recital!

Somehow I managed to keep pregnancy from holding me back. I had my first dance recital as a studio owner and parent!!! Lets just say I would rather dance then be in charge. ha ha.

In the picture is Kaylee Kalikakis, Dustee Ellott, Abby Smith, Audrey and Adelyn Overly, Brendee Ellot, McKaylnn Edwards, Kaydence Barclay, Sheriden Sorensen, Me and Sydney Hendrickson then Madisen Edwards, Lexee Keisel, Reill Dyreng, Hallie Peterson, Karlie Ludvicson, Sarah Hill, Chelsea Wescott, Braylee Johnson, Aspen Larsen, Addilynn Anderson, Olivia Sharf and Ellie Sorenson. Paige Peterson was out of town :(. i think all the girls were amazing and made me super proud!!!!!!!!

No more appologies. I suck.

Yikes, I am terrible at this game. I am going to blame my lack of posting on.... no time. my camera being with John's hunting stuff, and a new phone. Who wants to read a post with no pictures? But here are some from our quick family pictures my mom took for our Christmas card.

Well I left you guys with the announcement of our pregnancy! So the next news is that Kaydence is having a sister. I wish I could say I had mothers intuition this time. But truly thought this baby was a boy. ha ha. But I am so glad she is a she. Kaydence is so excited for her baby sister to get here! And loves toughing my belly. She has mentioned the her sister is getting bigger. Yikes. But at 24 weeks I guess the baby should be bigger.

Kayde is now accident free for almost a month and a half! yahoo. once we got her BM's figured out she quit having problems. It is my Dance studio's Christmas program in a few weeks and I am freaking out and excited all at once. I am feeling lots better, besides this minor cold I caught. So the holidays should be quite enjoy able.

here is a funny picture I found on my mom's camera with our family pictures. We went to the Zoo this summer with my family but this year I was REALLY feeling pregnant(aka, tired nauseous and trying to act normal so they didn't think anything was up) I was only 6 or 7 weeks here. haha-

Sorry.. 15 weeks down today

Well it has been too long once again! My life has been in full tornado mode since I last updated. As most of you already know we will be adding another member to our family the end of March. We actually found out about 3 days after my last post. Yes I have been sick and nothing has been the same as my first pregnancy with Kayde. Kayde just made me sick til about noon every day from 10- 14 weeks. This little one likes to make me sick ALL day and has since about 6 weeks, but it has eased to just mornings finally at just over 14 weeks. We ask Kayde what is in mom's tummy and she will say her favorite a "baby lion", or tiger followed by wild animal hands and a growl or a baby brother.At first we would ask if she wants a baby sister or a baby brother and she would say a sister brother. but our first ultra sounds says she'll have to choose one sibling. We just made our apointment to get our ultra sound to see if our next one will be a tiger, lion, boy or girl. I really don't know I almost felt like Kayde was a girl. But I have no clue this time. I know this will sound crazy but I have already felt movements I really love that part of pregnancy! Even at this early I've only felt it once or twice but I know what I felt call me crazy. Other than that the baby seems very healthy and it better be cause I'm already looking a little more than just extra chubby. But John and I are more than excited for our new baby to join our family!
My dance studio...
Is going awesome! After I (we) made the decision to start our own thing in Gunnison I found out I was pregnant. Ha Ha. I still felt good so I really didn't think about morning sickness being a problem. ha ha. Lets save you a minute but the first month of dance was scary. But we made it through. I love my studio. Thank heavens for the amazing hubby I have who was so good to help me(ok just do every thing while I bossed). He tore out scarry shelves hung mirrors nailed cubbies together and I don't remember him complainig once! I have 23 students if you count Kayde, who is my worst student by far, yes I leave her with my mom or Susan alot so she misses the most too. Oh well, lets say she gets private tutoring at home. I teach Jazz and Clogging classes 2 days a week. And I have a lady who wants to start Zumba classes. I love my decison to go on my own and my students and parents are great people! I want to thank every one for thier support with this!
Oh just another interesting note. My due date for the baby is the 29th of march oh yes my Dance review is the 26th. Yup I'm cutting it close.
Our lives. John has been busy working and spotting Elk for his Muzzy tag. Which is going on now and he is having terrible luck! It ends thursday so hopefully tomorry brings better news. because he deserves a monster!
You already know all about me.
Kayde is a walking dictionary. Tonight for example we were watching a cartoon and there were brids chriping she looks at me and says" what some squackers, crazy birds" she is always surpising me with the things she understands and knows. She is now 2 as of the 28th of august. wow that came and went way to fast. I'll do a seperate post when John gets back form hunting with all our camera gear for her birthday. But thanks to everyone who took time out of their lives to hang with us, and also thanks for all the panties! I bet she got 5 packs of undies which came at a great time!!She decided to be potty trained around the 22nd of September. she has maybe had 5 pee accidents and is yet to poop in the toliet, which most have been my fault for not paying attinetion. But She only goes#2 once a week so that has only given her 2 chances since everything has begun. She will come find me to tell me lets go potty in the toilet. So we are super proud of her! Her favrite TV shows are mickey mouse club house. and almost anything on the am disney she even likes finius and ferb( which John will watch with her too). She will ask for flerb. ha ha. Her favorite movie is probably the swan princess and I can't find it in stores. It is on our on demand WII netflix so hopefully I can find it befor it dissapears. She will be devisstated. She can count to 10 now but prefers to just use 2678 if I don't make her really try. She loves to draw and color. she can say most of the colors and knows them but, like her numbers she will just throw out a green when something is yellow befor even looking at what I'm asking. We have started shapes she knows circles and sort of draws them( bevery thing is kind of swirls right now) We are also try the alphabet but she just ignors me. Oh well I know she is hearing me and atleast I'm trying.Her new thing is to be naked, and thinks it is funny to come to my front door if some one is at our house nude. So beware if you stop by for a visit I'm sorry.
That is all I can think of right now. But with this baby I've got pregnancy dumb extra early.
