She Is Here!!!

Meet the newest and cutest addition to our family.... Ellie Maurine Boyle. She came at 7:48 AM on Sunday morning the 26th. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 20 inches long. She is absolutely perfect. So we have been to the hospital three different times thinking I was having Ellie, but all three times were false alarms. Well a couple of hours before we went into the hospital we went out to Linder Farms with my mom. Zoey absolutely loved it. There was a petting zoo there and she absolutely was in heaven. She got to feed all the animals and she was just laughing her head off. Well right when we got there we headed over to the petting zoo and all of a sudden a big gush of water came. Thought nothing of it because I have peed my pants twice now thinking it was my water. Well we headed home and Shawn went to his brothers to watch the big Boise State football game. Well I kept having leakage going on so I was a little worried. So I decided to do the famous test- lay down for thirty minutes doing nothing and if you stand up and a big gush comes then sure enough your water has broken. Sure enough the test came true. So I called Shawn and he headed to the house to pick me up and we headed to the hospital. Luckily my mom was in town and decided to stay an extra day. We are so lucky to have had her here to be with us and watch Zo. I was only in labor for four hours and got an epidural. They put me on pitosin and I tried to get some rest while everything was trying to happen. So at 2:00 AM I got the epidural. Then they checked me at 6:30 AM and I was only dilated to a 4. Well at 7:30 I started feeling a lot of pressure so I called my nurse and sure enough I was at a 10 and ready to push. She said to not move or push and that she was going to call the doctor. The doctor was there for ten minutes. I only pushed twice and she was here. The most amazing experience was that the doctor let me grab Ellie as she was coming out and pull her up onto my stomach. The best thing ever. Everything is going well. Zoey still is not sure of her and is adjusting for sure. Ellie has her days and nights mixed up too. So that is a little tiring, but all in all she is a great eater and we love our new addition to the family. Love you Ellie bug.

Labor Day and much much more

Labor day weekend was a blast. My brother Luke, his wife Linds, and their boys Lincoln and Ledger came to visit. We so loved having them here. We had a blast. Too bad our apartment is so tiny, but it worked out great anyways. We went to the zoo, had a picnic, went swimming, made a super cute wreath, went to the park, did glitter toes, and ate out a bunch and much much more. It was so much fun. My little Zoey is so sad and going through withdrawals without her two cousins here. She loves them to death. Thanks for making the trip up you guys. We love you.

And last weekend we were able to take one last trip to eastern Idaho and to go to the cabin in West Yellowstone. I love the cabin. It is the best place on earth. We were the last to go there and had to close up shop for the winter.

On another note Zoey is officially walking. I am loving every second of it and so is she. She even tries to get running and will get a little ahead of herself, but she loves it. She also has all top four teeth coming in at once, so it is a little painful and she is a little crabby.

We also purchased a new car, a Yukon. I am so excited about it. We now have two cars. It was a little rough living in a bigger city with only one car. Zoey and I walked everywhere we needed to go. Good exercise for me though I guess.

And last but not least, I thought my water broke a week ago. I had two large gushes in the morning after I had went pee. So I packed up a bag and Shawn had to come back from school and pick us up. Turns out it was just that I had peed my pants. I am still a little skeptical about it. Wouldn't you think I would know if I peed my pants. Oh well, I am glad because it was too early. She needs to cook in the oven a little longer, but I am ready and excited any day she decides to come. Still haven't decided on a name either, but hopefully we will soon.
