Okay, so here is the story for those of you that want to know(and for me before I forget anything) So for months now we have been debating weather we were going to go to a family reunion with Cody's family. It was two weeks before my due date and they were going to bear lake( 3 hours from home) I really wanted to go but was a little bit nervous since Skyler came 9 days early. We finally decided that we would just play it by ear and see how my dr appt went that week. I went in to the dr on Thursday, he checked me and said that I was dilated to a 1, the same as I had been the week before. I decided since there had been no progress in the week that we were going to go to the reunion and hope that she didn't decide to come early. We got up there on Saturday afternoon around 4pm. We had dinner, Cody and Sky swam, and we just hung out with the family. Cody's aunt asked me how I was feeling and I told her I felt great! I really did! Sky had a hard time going to sleep that night so Cody and I both went to our room to lay down by her, next thing I know it is 2 am and I don't feel very good. I started having contractions and kept thinking...there is no way this is happening right now. ( I also started having contractions at 2am with Skyler) I laid there hoping that they would stop but they just kept coming. I told myself that if they were still going after 2 hours we were heading home. After the two hours they were still going so I said I would give it one more hour. That hour passed and they were still going strong...I guess someone else had other plans for us that weekend. I woke Cody up and told him that we needed to go home. We got all of our stuff together and headed home at about 5am. The drive wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be...It was kind of nice because it helped the time to pass a little bit quicker. At first I was nervous to drive all the way home but when I had Sky I waited 8 hours before I went to the hospital and was still only at a 3 so I figured as long as my water didn't break I would be okay. We finally started getting closer to home and I started making some phone calls it was still early but better than 5am. My parents where in Seattle at the time so I tried calling them first but they didn't answer. Then I tried calling to find somewhere to take Sky, after a few phone calls I got a hold of Aimee(woke her up too) and we headed there to drop off Sky. While we were there I asked Josh to help Cody give me and blessing and then we were on our way to the hospital. By this time my contractions had slowed down so I was really nervous that they would send me home. I really didn't want to go home after driving all that way. When I got there they checked me and I was dilated to a 4 so they said they would wait an hour to see if I progressed and then they would admit me if I had. After an hour the nurse came in and said that the Dr wanted to keep me( without checking me, what was the point of sitting there for an hour?) Anyway, I tested positive for Group strep B so they had to get the antibiotics in me before they could do a whole lot. They waited 2 hours and then gave me pitossin to speed up my contractions. It helped with the contractions but I after almost 2 more hours I was still only at a 5. After the 4 hours of the antibiotics being in me they decided to break my water. About 20 minutes later I was at a 7. I texted Aimee and Brea to let them know. Brea was going to come play photographer for me and Aimee was going to bring Sky down. A few minutes later I started feeling a lot of pressure so they checked me and I was at a 9. Then the dr came in and said it was time. At the time I was on the phone with my Mom so I hung up real quick and gave Cody the phone. As this was happening Cody's Mom walked in the door(She drove the 3 hours from the reunion) and we started pushing. When I had Sky I pushed for 3 hours so I wasn't expecting this one to go much faster. I pushed through 3 contractions and she was here. That was a surprise! Much easier than when I had Sky. I kind of left my poor Mom and Dad hanging on the phone and a few minutes after I hung up with them they got a picture of the new baby. ( I think they were shocked too!) Sky has been really good with her. We are still trying to teach her what she can and can't do with Londyn but she really has been good. She loves her baby sister and asks for her every morning when she wakes up. We are loving having Londyn here and I am loving not being pregnant...Thank you Aimee for taking care of Sky for us...Brea for all of the wonderful pictures, all of the many visitors that we have had, and the rest of our wonderful family that has been so awesome! We really have the best family ever! We are so grateful for all of you and love you all so much!

Sorry for the picture overload, you know me...
