Pictures of Rocky

Rocky Hyrum Jolley

After all the days I tried and tried to have this lil guy early, the day I decided to let him come on his own, he surely did that. I hadn't had contractions at all yesterday, and I was getting ready for bed when my water broke. I have never had my water brake on it's own so it kind of freaked me out until I realized, I'm having a baby. About 5 minutes after my water broke, I got my first contraction and it was hard and very few minutes in between. I got to the hospital with in the hour and seriously had my epidural within 20 minutes after arriving to the hospital, which was a very good thing because within 30 minutes I was at an 8 and ten minutes later I was ready to deliver. Luckily with epidurals, you can kind of decide when to push so we were able to hold off until the doctor got there. My water broke at 11:00 pm and Rocky was born at 1:30 am. 2 1/2 hours of labor? I can't complain, by far my best and last childbirth. I'm in the hospital still and I don't have a cord to hook up my camera so your only getting the story today. I'll get some pictures put up tomorrow when I get home. Baby is doing great, other then he still hasn't let out a good cry, but his lungs are clear, he's breathing great, and he passed his hearing test so the Doctor and Nurses are clueless as to why he hasn't cried. I told them, he's just trying to be a really good baby for me. He weighed 5 lbs 14 oz, was 19 inches long and was born on March 28, 2009 at 1:30 am. He has basically NO hair and what hair he does have is kind of a strawerry blond. Not what I pictured him to look like, but still adorable to me. I'll admit, he isn't the cutest newborn to any of the outsiders, but to his mommy, he's precious. I'll keep you posted.

Baby Marlee is here

Marlee Elizabeth Johnson was born on March 23at 4:12 pm. She weighed 8 lbs 11 oz and was 21 inches long. Meghan did such a great job. She was enduced on Sunday night and was dilated to a 10 by 2:00 pm the next day. She pushed for 2 hours and then baby Marlee Moo was born. She has a full head of hair and is so chubby and cute. She is so adorable. David couldn't be prouder of his lil papoose. I can't believe he's a daddy. He sure does love her.

The Next Day....

Playtime at the Park!!!

The weather has been so nice here the last couple of days so we decided to head to the park with the kids. Daylon and Rain spent most of the time in the tree, Star just ate a sucker and did what she wanted, and me and Darin just relaxed on the grass. It was nice to be outside and enjoy the weather. I just wanted to note...look at my husbands face. He has been losing weight and his face is so thin, he looks hot!! Course I've always thought he looked hot, but it always bothered him so I'm happy that he's happy.

Mommy Daughter Date

Darin gave me a gift certificate to get a pedicure for Valentine's day so last weekend me and Rain decided to go get pedicures and get our nails painted blue for the arrival of the new boy coming into our lives. We had alot of fun and some much needed girl time.
