INTRODUCING ALTON JOEL

HEY EVERYBODY I'M BACK. WE HAVE HAD A BUSY WEEK. ON MONDAY JULY 17 I TOOK ALL THREE KIDS SWIMMING AT MY FRIEND CHRISTA'S MOM'S HOUSE. HAD A LOT OF FUN AND A NICE WAY TO STAY COOL IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER. ANYWAY THAT AFTERNOON I STARTED CONTRACTIONS BUT I INGORED THEM THINKING THEY WOULD GO AWAY. WELL THEY DIDN'T THEY STARTED 10 MINUTES APART AND AROUND 1:30 A.M. I WOKE JOEL UP CAUSE THEY WERE 4 MINUTES APART FOR A COUPLE OF HRS AND NOW WERE STARTING TO HURT. SO WE CALLED UP "AUNTIE" (JULIE JOEL'S SIS) SHE STAYED WITH THE KIDS WHILE HUBBY TOOK ME TO THE HOSPITAL. WELL SINCE I WAS 35 WEEKS THE HOSIPTAL WAS NOT GOING TO STOP MY LABOR BUT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO HELP ME EITHER. SO BACK TO BED REST THEY MADE ME STAY. FOR THE MOST PART THEY WERE 4 MINUTES APART AND THEN ALL DAY TUESDAY AND NOTHING REALLY HAPPENED THE CONTRACTIONS WERE NOT COMING ANYMORE AND SINCE I WAS JUST LAYING IN BED I THOUGHT I WAS DONE. WELL THEN TUESDAY NIGHT THEY STARTED AGAIN 4 MIN APART AND AROUND 2:45 A.M. THEY WERE REAL BAD REAL PAINFUL AND IT SEEMED LIKE ONLY A COUPLE MINUTES APART. WELL ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS HOW MUCH I HATE PAIN SO BY 3:00 I AM BEGGING FOR HELP WITH THE PAIN. THEY GET READY TO MOVE ME UPSTAIRS (WHERE THE DELIVERY ROOMS ARE) AND CALLING THE EPIDURAL DOCTOR, GIVING ME A IV AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. JOEL AND NURSE ARE YELLING AT ME TO BREATH AND REALLY HONESTLY I WANTED TO KILL THEM BOTH!!! DUH I KNOW I NEED TO BREATH BUT I FEEL LIKE SHOOTING MYSELF IN THE HEAD RIGHT NOW I HURT SO BAD SHUT UP!!! I KNOW I KNOW THEY ARE ONLY TRING TO HELP BUT .....ANYWAY THEY GIVE ME THE EPIDURAL AND THE NURSE TELLS US WE NEED TO TRY TO REST CAUSE WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO TAKE. NOW THEY HAD JUST CHECKED ME RIGHT BEFORE THE EPIDURAL (HALF AN HR AGO) AND I WAS DILATED TO 3 CM. SHE CHECKED ME AGAIN JUST TO BE SURE AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW I AM NOW AT 8!! POOR JOEL HE WAS SO EXCITED THAT HIS WIFE WASN'T IN PAIN ANYMORE HE WAS ALL STRETCHED OUT ON THE RECLINER WITH A BLANKED THINKING HE WOULD GET A LITTLE NAP IN, THINKING I AM STILL AT 3 AND NOW I AM AT 8. SO HE GETS UP FOLDS THE BLANKET AND STARTS MAKING PHONE CALLS. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER I JUMP HE LOOKS AT ME AND I TELL HIM MY WATER BROKE. ALL OF A SUDDEN HE IS RUNNING OUT THE DOOR I HAD NO IDEA WHERE HE WAS GOING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH HIM HE COMES WALKING BACK IN SAYING OH I DON'T NEED TO GET A NURSE JUST PUSH THE NURSE BUTTON I GUESS HE PANICKED JUST A LITTLE!!!! ANYWAY THEY WERE GETTING ME READY TO PUSH YOU KNOW PUT MY FEET IN THE STIR UPS I COULD FEEL BABY IN MY TUMMY DROPPING. NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO ME ONE NURSE IS GETTING STUFF READY ANOTHER NURSE IS IN THE CLOSET DR IS PUTTING ROBE AND GLOVES ON I SAY "I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK ME OUT" THE NURSE SAYS IT'S OK HONEY U R GOING TO FEEL ALOT OF PRESSURE JOEL IS TALKING TO ME ABOUT SWITCHING HOLDING HANDS DR STILL GETTING READY WELL THEN I GUESS JOEL SAYS MY VOICE GOT REAL LOUD REAL HIGH AND I AGAIN SAY" NO SOMEONE NEEDS TO CHECK ME NOW" JOEL SAYS HE PEEKED BABY'S HEAD WAS ALL THE WAY OUT, DR COMES RUNNING NURSE IS RUNNING YUP BABY ALMOST LANDED ON THE FLOOR!!

Random Pic's

Some random pictures of the kids. One is a picture of the girls pulling Aiden in the lego wagon. Another is a picture of Daddy (Joel) digging a hole for our dog's septic toilet thingy. Notice Asia is tied up!! Poor doggie wouldn't leave the shovel alone and Joel was afraid he would hurt her!! And the last picture is a picture of Daddy catching Aiden getting into Alyssa's leftover birthday cake. He thought it was pretty funny so he took pictures before taking the cake away. My son may not look like me but has a sweet tooth like Mommy!!

The kids

here is a picture of Aiden and Alyssa. Alyssa just got out of the shower and is wearing the towel like her Mommie does. The other picture is Alexis and Aiden Alexis has mama's face cream on. Everything here is going pretty good. Very anxious hoping to have baby soon. Feeling tired and out of breath and i miss my ankles!!!

Swimming

Well my kiddies spend most of their time in our swimming pool. I thought i should send a picture of them doing just that. I have newer pictures but I am too lazy to get my camera out of the truck so these pictures are from June but I will post some newer pictures next week or this weekend and you can see how brown my little girls are!! Aiden not so much at least not real noticeable!! Anyway another little note if i don't go into labor on my own my Dr is planning on inducing me Monday July 31 and as of right now at 34 wks they are guessing by ultrsound the baby is about 7# yea and the baby will most likely gain a # a week and I have 3 weeks to go!! Hmm looks like i am going to have a 10 pounder!!! Just in case any of you are curious Alexis my first was 7lbs. 9 ounces Alyssa was 8 lbs and Aiden was 9 lbs. 1 ounce and yes I count that ounce!! So hmm I wonder what Alton will be!!! Love you all have a great weekend!!!

Just Another Summer Day

Hey everybody I finally got my self to the computer to write a little and put some pictures up. The picture is our front yard, Joel is getting all the rocks and plants out of the little section and going to plant grass. This picture took place in beginning of June. And now it is a beautiful patch of grass. The kids were looking for worms and rollie pollies!!

WOO HOO!!!

After all these softball games and never winning a game we finally won!!! We won our final game 10 - 14!!! Whar a way to end the season!! As most of you family and friends know I am on bedrest but I did go to the game I figured sitting in a lawn chair was the same as sitting in bed!! Anyway yeah the game was close and Alexis could hear me screaming RUN RUN Alexis RUN!!! yup that's a lot of excitment for me but worth it!! Anyway I am glad that all those practices with Daddy paid off!!

SOFTBALL GAL

Well today is Alexis last softball game. It has been a fun and learning season. She ended up being a lot better that me and Joel thought she would. A good strong hitter when she connects a pretty good thrower, just has to work on staying focused on the game!! Oh yeah running not her strong suit either!! But still a lot of fun and she is totally ready to do it next year. The team she is on is the Cubs, (which of course makes Daddy happy!!).

MY HAPPY BABIES

Another picture of the three kids all happy. So far it has been a pretty good summer. Looking foward to going to the Zoo with the kids after Alton arrives. Other than that the kids have been enjoying their summer riding their bikes their scooters, Aiden loves riding in his stroller. They also have walked over to the park with Joel several times. And if you couldn't tell by the girls a lot of swimming. Aiden is out as much as the girls he just doesn't tan as easily!!! The new fun thing is chasing the fireflies/lighting bugs!!! It is funny the girls are pretty good at trying to catch them Aiden is unsure not to fond of bugs thanks to me!!!! And even Asia loves to try to catch them she is funny she tries to eat them while my girls try to protect them from the doggie!! Hope you all are enjoying your family and summer!!!

Aiden and Asia

Well today i am going to write about Aiden and Asia. As you can see in the picture they are buds. But it is pretty funny cause at the same time they can really get into bugging each other!! Asia will purposefully push into him knock him over just to tick him off or tease!! And Aiden will turn around and yell no doggie no no!! Other times they both like to chill in front of the tv together!! Oh yeah Asia has also realized the only person willing to share their popsicles or any other goodies is Aiden. Also she is more than willing to share her puppy food with Aiden, which I am still trying to figure out why Aiden likes to eat her food!!! Oh don't even get me started on the water bowl for whatever reason Aiden likes to act like Asia and drink out of her waterbowl with his tounge!!! Yea there is a reson i clean out her water bowl every hr!!!

THE SPEARS FAMILY

Ok Ok I am totally got this idea from my little brother and his wife Peter and Elisabeth. So all you family memebers who want to read about them and their dog check out their blog page at www.ourromansroad.blogspot.com. Anyway this is suppose to be about my family and i figure an easy way to keep all you friends and family updated to my family. OK so Joel and I have been married for almost 10 yrs (anniv is Oct) and have been together for 12!! Wow we are old!! Anyway we have three beautiful wonderful and sometimes naughty children :o)!! Alexis who will be 8 this October, Alyssa who is 6 and Aiden who is my favorite age of two!!!! Two girls and one boy, oh yeah we have another boy on the way, we have already named him and we all call him by his name. Can you guess the name?? Ok how about this can you guess what his name starts with?? What?? How did you guess right??!! :o)!! Yup his name starts with an A to and his name will be Alton. He should be arriving sometime this July. (I'm hoping early July). We also have a puppy/dog, she is a South African Boerboel and her name is ( yup another A name) Asia. She is 5 1/2 months old and around 75 lbs. She is a sweet gal!! Anyway Check back often I will write about the kids and what they like, what me an hubby like and of course stories of Asia, I will post pictures of all of us and in a month I will get to introduce you to baby Alton:o) Anyway here is a picture of the three kids with their cousin Cami and Zane Easter 2006 I will have new and updated pictures the next time!!
