At Grandma's

While we were in the hospital with Logan, Hailey was having fun staying with Grandma and Grandpa. (And she gained A LOT of weight eating all the yummy food!)

Welcome, Logan!



Welcome to the World, Logan Kaiwen Shen Chang


Logan Kaiwen Shen Chang born at 3:27 PM MST. 6 lbs 7 ounces, 20 inches long. Born after only 12 minutes of pushing and 27 minutes after the epidural was placed. Mom tired, everyone happy and healthy.

Lots has been going on

3/30/2009 3:00 PM: Lots has been happening since my water was broken. Epidural just went in and that went well. Just got my catheter and the nurse checked me and I am fully dilated, fully effaced, and +2 station. The nurse just left to call my doctor back in...

Big change

Big change since the water was broken and the pitocin was working for a few hours... 4 cm, 80%, -2 station....should be on the up slope now.

They just called the anesthesiologist for the epidural.

All wet....

3/30/2009 12:34 PM: Just had water broken by Dr. Oster. Last report: 2 cm, 70%, -2 station....

yuck...just feels like I pee'ed on myself....

Big room....

The rooms at skyridge are pretty big...15 Jen steps from the bed to the bathroom door....

...of course, only 5 steps for ben...but he does not have pitocin running

Ramping up on the pitocin

3/30/2009 11:38 AM: Pitocin ramped up to 5 ml / hr...feeling a little bit more, but not too uncomfortable yet

Sparidge????

The hospital that Jen is delivering at is called Skyridge...but euphamistically named Sparidge by people in Denver....what do you think?

This took a lot of work



Hopefully this is the worst part of the day

First check

3/30/2009 10:25: 2 cm, -2, 60% effaced....

Pitocin just started...unfortunately one tube of blood clotted, so they have to draw it again...GRRR...

IV in

3/30/2009 10:21 AM: IV in....a little bit painful this time.....had to stick twice, but it is in the back of the left hand now

Arrived at Skyridge

3/30/2009, 9:25 AM: arrived at the hospital, jen has changed into her hospital gown and has her external monitors on. Now, just waiting for the IV, pitocin, and most importantly the epidural.

Last night as a family of three

It's the night before the induction. We went to Brio for dinner, which incidentally, is where we ate in St. Louis the night before Hailey was born!

At Brio while waiting to be seated, Hailey has fun with the candy bin:

13-month pic with Mr. Bear

Hailey's 13-months old! This month she's learned to walk, use a spoon, put on and take off hats, put markers in their box, and take off her socks. She babbles constantly and has gotten exponentially louder with her talking and squealing. Her favorite words are still "ba ba" (dad) and "nai nai" (milk). She loves playing with her stacking cups ... that is, having me stack them and her knock them over. She also likes to rock and hug her baby doll, which is super cute. Soon she'll have a brother to hug!

Not just a bike rack

At the outlet mall, Hailey had more fun outside with the bike racks than in the stores ... even though we were shopping for her clothes!

"Peek-a-boo!"
