Home Sweet Home

Well...They jacked the pitocin up to 30mls for the last two hours and no change. Our options were 1. stay again tonight redo cervidal and start pitocin again in the morning 2. go home and relax come back tuesday night at 5 to start cervidal 3. have a elective C-section. We chose to take option 2. We think that it is time to go home, sleep in our own bed, regain energy and pray that he decides on his own to come. I think that this is best for all of us (Bob, baby, and me). I don't feel good about giving more drugs when we are not making progress. Also Bob slept on what looked like a pancake last night. He has been the most amazing cheerleader. He does everything and anything that I need without batting an eye. I have to admit I did have a minor nervous breakdown around 3pm. I was frustrated with not making progress and having back labor. Bob was just what I needed-he told me that we could do whatever we need to do and he wouldn't be upset. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful wishes and I look forward to sharing good news when he arrives!

Okay, home is good. Try to get some rest (not that I can even imagine you resting). And, try to get some food in you. Personally, I think you were puking because of the drugs and because you were forced to stay in bed!

We love you!
And we'll keep right on praying! :)

p.s. See how I spent my first full day of summer vacation??

Hey Uncle Matt,

In regards to the comment you left yesterday do you not think that the name Truman would be fitting? Maybe Truman Matthew Boone??

And, btw you do know that any & all honorary uncles are bound by law to pay for college correct?

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
