Welcome to Motherhood!!

I'm Alive.... barely! Yes I did finally have this baby and here's the watered down version of getting her here. Started Wednesday April 29th mid afternoon went in two different times to get a treatment to help me dilate.... didn't work. But it did however put me into labor at 2 am Thursday morning. Went to the hospital at 4am continued contracting on my own but still dilated at a 1. They started me on pitocin, got the epidural and still at a 1! Last resort was this procedure that manually dilates you, lots of fun! Finally was at a 4 24 hours after starting this whole process. After consulting with the Dr. and divine intervention from my sweet husband we decided to go ahead and do a c-section. And it is a good thing because the baby's head was lodged in my pelvic bones and I wouldn't have been able to get her out anyway! We then welcomed Stella Lynne Condie into the world at 6:58pm 8lbs. 12oz. 19 inches long. We stayed in the hospital for 4 days and nights and we needed it! Brock and I seriously should be on a reality show on first-time parents, it is hilarious! All is well and Stella is doing great, I am still recovering and taking one hour at a time. We took her to her 2 week check-up today and she is now 9lbs. 8oz. and 22 3/4 inches long. She is a big girl with a big personality, she already holds her binky in her mouth by herself!

Bring on the baby!!!!!

A little update to my blogging family! I went to the Dr. today and still not a whole lot of progress. Which is ok, I have come to terms with her being stubborn. Brock and I are already trying to strategise on how to handle her! I will go in on Wednesday and they will hopefully get things going, so maybe Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed!

Happy Due Date.... I guess!

Yes, as you can see the baby ticker on the side has reached a big fat 0!!!!!! I am due today and still no baby Stella! I even had a false alarm..... I went in to get a non-stress test this morning anyway to make a long story short I thought my water had broken so they admit me. I get into the gown get my game face on thinking "ok this baby is coming today!" and they send me home. So I am back to square one!! We will keep you posted!

Love to all~

New Teams and Baby update!

This past weekend we had our UVU Dance Team auditions. Can I just say how amazed I am at the talend we have in Utah! It was somewhat of a pay off day to see all the time and dedication I have put into my little job here, we had 98 girls show up for the audition!!! I know, I was a little overwhelmed and sorting through that many didn't even give me a sign of labor! We ended up with an amazing team and several others I would have loved to take and hope they come back next year. The fun part is that 13 of my returning girls made it and will come back for another great year!!I have posted those new UVDT members and UVU Cheer members on our website www.uvu.edu/spiritsquad. We also had cheer try-outs a couple weeks ago and that too was extremely successful, 40+ girls and enough guys to choose from! We have an amazing and talented squad with 11 guys and 12 girls with a total of 15 returning members! I hope that labor is this successful, ahhhh !!

And as you can guess I still have not had the baby, the official due date is Thursday but you better believe that we are trying everything under the sun! My doctor estimates an 8 pounder!!! Wish me luck!!
