Turner Baby #5

Introducing 
Tate Jensen Turner
Born November 30, 2016
6 pounds 2 ounces
19 inches long
5th and final Turner baby!

I went in to be induced at 8pm Tues. November 29th. I was positive for the group B strep so before they could start me on pitocin I had to get atleast 2 rounds of antibiotics. Around 12 or 1am they started the pitocin and upped it every hour or so. I was dilated at a 3 and thought for sure I'd have him around 4 or so. I was having regular contractions, but they were more annoying than painful, so I didn't sleep at all. The nurse gave me some statol which is a pain med to help me sleep. It made my eyes heavy but I still didn't sleep at all. It made me feel really weird. I felt sleepy, but my brain could not stop, and I was still hearing everything going on around me. It was the worst. I still didn't sleep. The nurse checked me around 5 or 6am and I was still only dilated to a 3! What??? Zero progression all night. Dr. Huish came to check on me around 7am and broke my water. Pretty soon after I started feeling pretty intense contractions. I asked for an epidural and finally at 8:30am I got one. I was in pain way longer than I wanted to be bc my nurse wanted a specific anthologist to give it to me, but she was tied up in a C-section. So the other guy ended up giving it to me anyways. 30 minutes later! I was glad to finally have some relief and was wanting to try and sleep a little since I hadn't all night. my nurse came in about 9am and wanted to flip me to my side. About 15 minutes later I felt some pressure and just didn't feel right. It didn't hurt, just felt different and I knew something was going on. Rocky went and got my nurse and when she checked me she said baby is coming! Don't move like at all! She called Dr. Huish and he was there within 5 minutes. They got me all prepped and ready to go and in less than 3 pushes our sweet baby boy was here! They wrapped him in a towel, ripped open my gown, set him on my chest and cleared out of the room. So it was just Rocky, myself and our sweet baby. They didn't weigh him or anything. I've never had that happen before so it was a little bit weird for me. About 30 minutes later my nurse came back in and cleaned him up and laid him in the warm bed and got all his stats. He was bigger than we had anticipated, which is one of the reasons Dr. Huish allowed me to be induced 2 weeks early/ He was measuring small...which I have small babies anyways...but he was worried my uterus was constricting growth bc my measurements had gone down from my second to last appointment which isn't normal. 
We were moved into a recovery room and the rest is history! We are so glad he's finally here! 
My pregnancy with him was super hard on my body. I honestly don't know how I could have gone 2 more weeks until my due date or even after. Being almost 37 took a toll on me. I wasn't sleeping, and my back hurt so bad. It was always pinched in both my hips and I had shooting pain up both my shoulder blades all day everyday. Trying to dry my feet off after taking a shower was super hard. When I'd try to bend over my lower back would get really pinched. Sometimes I'd cry out in pain. Sometime I'd just cry bc it hurt so bad. It hurt when I was 33 and pregnant with Teagan, but it was only the last month that was really bad with her. I struggled with Tate. The prize at the end of it though was a super sweet baby. We are all smitten by him. He's the perfect ending to a tale we never knew we wanted. 5 kids was never in our plans, but I'm so glad it wasn't my plan that was right!

Birthday Girl!

My sweet baby girl is 3...tomorrow!
I can't even believe how quickly she has grown.
She is sassy, naughty, and sweet all in a cute little package.
I couldn't be happier that she is ours!
Here's 3 fun facts about this dark haired cutie!
1. She LOVES her binky. And I could care less at this point that she does!
2. She LOVES her baby sister and has a doll she plays
with named Teagan.
3. She LOVES to play outside and eat popsicles.
4. Just for fun...She LOVES to dance! She's in 2 dance classes because all she talks about it going to dance and dances around the house all the time. And she's good! Not just for a 3 year old. Her teacher said she has some natural talent. She did not get that from me!
Happy birthday cute girl!
 

3 Months!

 Teagan is 3 months old!
She's growing too fast, but with as fussy as a baby she's been I'm looking forward to her being older.
I have never thought that about any of my babies!
I like em little!
But she has been a fussy face!
I finally switched her over to soy formula and that seems to have done the trick!
She's is stilly fussier than I'd like her to be, but she hasn't had crying fits where she cried all day since I switched. Go me! She's must happier, and I am too!
 
Her stats!
23 inches long
11.2 lbs
eats 4-6 ounces every 3ish hours
Sleeps 8pm till about 3am, 4am to 6/7ish
Finally started to smile when talked to and coos!
Doesn't' roll over...or even try!
Kicks and wiggles a whole bunch.
Sleeps swaddled and only in her swing.
Yep, bad habits!
The big kids adore her!
That's prob why she doesn't roll over...she doesn't have to when the other kids do everything for her!
She also went on her first plane right to visit daddy! It's the first time he has seen her since she was 2 weeks old.
 She has changed so much!
 
 My fave sleep pose!
Being a sweet stretcher baby!
I love it!

8 weeks

This little miss is 8 weeks old and is weighing in at a 
whopping 8 pounds!
She has finally outgrown her newborn clothes and has moved onto size 1 diapers. Which are a little too big, but she's pooping out her newborns since she's a tiny fatty and eats 6oz of milk!
Sleeping schedule is all over the place! Not sure how to fix that. Some nights she sleeps10-4 and other nights she's up every 2-3 hours. Makes for a tired momma.
She is a fussy pants! If her eyes are open she thinks she 
needs to eat or cry.
She likes to be swaddled and sleeps mostly swinging in her swing. And she does like her belly.
She just started smiling and she has the sweetest 
dimple in her right cheek.
She is a wiggle worm and is constantly moving!
We just love her!

Wedding Time

 Rocky's little brother Matt finally got hitched!
We're so excited for Jessica to finally be a part of our family...and their little boy who will be here in September.
 The one thing I love about weddings is having a reason to get dressed up and take a new family picture. Though I am large and in charge and I don't love having pregnant pictures taken, I love documenting the changes in our family as our kids grow...goofy grins, lost teeth, longer hair, shorter hair and even swollen bellies.
 And it's fun hanging out with Grandma...
 all the cousins...
 and siblings.

 Turner girl cousins.
Turner boy cousins minus baby Zandyr and the twins, 
Drake and Trace. 
Too hard to rope up toddlers for a pic!
Next Turner wedding will be one of the Grandkids!
Maybe we shouldn't talk about that... ;)
