Baby Harper is here

She is finally here and I could not be happier. What an awful couple of days I had. My sister Amy came up to Logan to spend Thanksgiving with us and I was so excited because I was cooking the turkey this year and we were having Thanksgiving at our house. Amy got here Wednesday night and I started having horrible back pain. being the tough person that I am ( yeah right), I decided to tough it out and just thought it was just small contractions and some back labor. When the pain did not go away and it was getting so bad, I told Tab that we had to go to the hospital because I was not dealing with this any longer. After checking into Labor and Delivery, they discovered that I had a kidney stone and they kept me for that night and the whole next day which was Thanksgiving. By Friday, I still had not passed the kidney stone. So they decided to do a c section, which is no big deal to me because my other deliveries have been c sections also. so baby Harper was born Friday morning and she weighed 6lbs. She is such a tiny thing but so cute. After they did the c section they let me rest for a day and then they put me under and went in and blasted the kidney stone. After having both surgeries within two days I was pretty sore and not happy. I just wanted to go home. Luckily they let me come home Sunday morning but I think the only reason they did was because I was the only patient in that part of the hospital which meant that all the nurses got to go home to. But it has been nice being home. Harper is now two and a half weeks old and growing. She has already gained a pound and a half and Fynlee and Max love her to pieces. The one thing I learned from all of this is that I would totally have a c section over the pain of a kidney stone any day. That pain was like any I have ever felt. Thank goodness for medicine. Here are some pictures of Harper and the kids. we have been having such a fun time getting ready for Christmas. And Tab just finished with school today so we get to have him for three whole weeks. Life is great!
