| HereMarjorie Elizabeth Marie Burney arrived Tueday, August 5, 2008, at 5:49 am. She weighed 7 lbs 6.9 oz and was 21 inches long.   She has more hair than I do.
I can't figure out how to add pictures to look like I want it to look, so this is all u get....LOL.
You can see more on snapfish- email me and I'll send you the account and password if you want to go out there. Mostly I put pics there so Ken can see them because my email won't let me email more than one pic at a time, so some of the pics are dumb but Marjorie's are pretty.....LOL
She's a sweet baby who looks like her daddy with crazy hair. She is nursing great - when she stays awake- and managed to poop up her coming home outfit less than 2 minutes after we put it on her. Didn't even get a chance to get pics of her in it. Oh well....I'll put it back on her later and get pics...
Thank you all so very much for your prayers and thoughts. Everything went great except for the pain and everyone is healthy.
Hugs

| Update!!!I went to the doctor this morning and I didn't even have to threaten. She checked me and I was 4 cm so she said- "ok, you can have this baby today" So I came home to eat and get the kids bags packed cuz they told me to go to the hospital at 3:00. YAY!!!!!!!

| Still no babyMy doctor told me 3 weeks ago that she didn't think I'd last another week. Well....after trying so many things to make this baby come - trampoline, vacuuming, steam cleaning, mopping, castor oil, some turtle thing at the skating rink, not to mention carting my boys all over- I went to the hospital this afternoon absolutely convinced it was time. So much pain, so little dilating......
So- after 3 hours of laying on that cotton covered piece of particle board they call a bed while hooked up to the tightest contraction monitor I have ever come in contact with and having contractions about 2 minutes apart that reach the top of the little paper's limits........they finally check me and say "no change"
They also tell me I am too far along for them to stop the contractions, but not quite far enough along to intervene and make me dilate more. They opt to give me two Percoset to take home with me. They tell me "they won't stop the contractions, but they might not hurt as much, and they will knock you out" So I am going to go to sleep and not feel the contractions and maybe not even wake up if the baby falls out in the bed. WOW!!! Am I excited.
Do I sound bitter. I think I might be a little. I have a doctor appointment on Monday and I am seriously considering staging a sit-in until she calls labor and delivery and demands massive doses of Pitocin. The worst they can do is have me arrested.......
Ken will be home a week from tomorrow and the last thing I want to do is waste 3 or 4 days of his leave in the hospital. He has seen all the other kids born, this one can make it without him. Spending time in the hospital will take precious time he can spend with Jonah at Mid- America Museum at the gross out exhibit where they match odors with the body parts that make them........
Ok, well I know that there are much worse things in the world than having to wait a little longer to have a baby, but I am tired of hurting. They make me sleep for the better part of 12 weeks to keep her in and now she needs to come out.
Porter turned 2 yesterday and had a nice little party. He got a ukelele(sp) and is obsessed with it. He takes it everywhere he goes. He is so funny. He plays it and sings and stomps his little foot to the beat. It cracks me up. He also got a Little Tykes T-ball set (to replace my hand which he has deemed a good T, I consider it a little risky to allow him to swing a bat at my hands. He's one strong kid.) Those are his favorites. He also got some books about sports to match the sport balls he got, some sidewalk chalk, a lion that roars out of its butt, some stickers, some puzzles, and a little ball with spikes that shakes like crazy when you pull its string. He likes that one too. He puts it on the floor and laughs when it shakes away.
His favorite sayings are "Oh No!" "Ewwwww" and "Sheeewww" or "Shoe" depending on whether it is time to get dressed or change his diaper. All the others appropriately come out when changing the diaper. Both boys are at their mammaws tonight because I am supposed to be too drugged to take care of them. They both cried and cried because they wanted to stay home. I felt sooooo bad. They have become cling-ons the last week or so. I guess they sense the inevitable(eventually).
I am rambling now, I think the pills are kicking in and I am not sure if I am making any sense.
Hugs all

| I thought for sure I was going to have a baby Friday, but alas- they just drugged me up and sent me home. I am hurting so bad I wonder if being hit by a bus would be more pleasant. Tylenol does not help. Neither do the jets in my new bathtub. Trying to swim a little in my sisters pool was a bit of relief cuz I was weightless, but it had to end. The only thing that has helped is Demerol, and I don't have any of that in the medicine cabinet. If I get down on my hands and knees, it helps my back, but then my knees start hurting and just how long can one stay in that position anyway?
Porter is at his mammaw's. I miss him when he's there, but trying to manage him is so painful at this point. Just 3 more weeks if she stays in that long. Its bittersweet, I want to feel her moving around in my belly forever cuz I don't have to share her then, but then again maybe I will not hurt for long after she comes out.
