Nash Edward Meyer - July 8 1:55 PM
Today i am going to recap the day that Nash was born. It started with Carrie and I waking up at 3:30 or so to get to the hospital by 4:30 so that carrie could get induced.
1. 5:00 - carrie is hooked up to all the IV's and the drug to start the contractions starts.
2. 5:15 - flo and i head to mcdonalds to grab a little breakfast and coffee before the big day gets going to fast.
3. 5:45 - we are back to the hospital and carrie is doing well - laying in bed having some ice chips.
4. 6:15 - this is when the excitement begins - she gets up to use the bathroom and when she comes back the nurse plug her back in and we can tell something is not right.
5. 6:16 - 6:20 or so ---nurse is moving carrie to side to side and calls in 2nd nurse and the dr. they are in there quick. the dr then calls and says get the ER ready for an emergency C- section. it has gone from 1 nurse to 8 or so folks in the room and i am scared and not sure what is going on.
6. 6:25 - the baby's heart had decelearted so they back off the potosum (contaction Medicine - from 6 to 0) - carrie and the baby are doing okay. The Dr and Nurse say to be prepared for all day birth.
7. 6:30 - 9:30 - i do lots of walking, carrie sister Ashley arrives. things are progressing slowly - she is back on the contraction medecine. nothing is happening quickly.
8. 10:30 0r so - go to break the water and the baby has moved up to high -- to dangerous to break the water. the waiting game continues. Carrie is doing well. The baby likes it when she is on her left side in the bed - when she moves to her right side the baby's heart rate falls. she stays on her left side the rest of the labor.
9. 11:00 - grab jason's deli for lunch with 5 guys fries for a side.
10. 12:00 or so - they nurse comes into check carrie and says you are dialated to a 6 but " uh... i think i feel the baby's hand on his head" i had not heard this from the other 2 times carrie gave birth. the nervous part of me says this cannot be good.
11. 12:30 or so - the Dr comes in and says there are 3 options. because the baby's hand is on the head if they break the water the hand could fall out and an emergency C-section would need to occur, two - the hand is moved and everything proceeds as normal, 3 - we wait --- at this point i turn white as a sheet and need to walk so i proceed to the hallway to walk while the water is being broke. Needless to say it is extemely good news that i never decided to major in medecine as i do not have what it takes to be in the hospital very much.
12. 12:35 - the water breaks - everything is good.
13. 12:35 - 1:30 - carrie is having lots of contractions - big ones. she is comfortable but starting to feels some pressure.
14. 1:40 - she calls the nurse - she is now dialated to 10 - Nash is ready to come.
15. 1:50 - 1:52 - she starts pushing - i can sense from the dr's a sense of urgency.... they are not letting her have any breaks between pushes.
16. 1:55 - the 3rd of 4th big push and Nash is hear. He had is hand between the cord and his neck and the cord was wrapped around his neck. the dr indicated we had a min or 2 more before a C-section would have happened.
Nash- right at 9 hours of labor and daddy was a nervous wreck but it was so great to see how great carrie did. She did great and Nash was healthy baby boy. 7 lbs, 15 oucnes - 19.5 inches long and all the tests came out great. He passed his hearing test on Saturday morning.
Our friend Sarah was the nurse on the baby floor both Friday and Saturday night so she helped take care of Nash which was great. We left the hospital by 11:00 on Sunday July 10 to come home. Hadden and spencer stayed with Carries parents - they came to visit there brother on friday and held him and gave him hugs / kisses before heading to Carrie's parents. they had a great time there hunting and playing outside, going to the creek to swim running around.
1. 5:00 - carrie is hooked up to all the IV's and the drug to start the contractions starts.
2. 5:15 - flo and i head to mcdonalds to grab a little breakfast and coffee before the big day gets going to fast.

Spring to Summer
I always intend to write more on here and i look back and see that it has been since Feb since my last post. time flies....
1. Hadden's basketball team -7 and 8 year olds got 3rd place out of 18 teams in there little division. all the kids improved greatly and it was a fun season to coach. the game we lost in the semi's was tough.. lost by a bucket or so.
2. things kids say continue to crack us up:
Hadden -what happens if you don't go to heaven - spencer ---you go to the fiery pit.
hadden - spring of 2011 - getting caught in a few lies - spencer - though shall not bare false witness.
Spencer - who is that with big mike (pat's brother) - that is his ex wife but they still get along---spencer - did they not keep their marriage vows? before carrie can respond ---thou shall not commit adultery....
3. Spencer turns 5 March 30. He has several of his buddies to goofballs to play and have a good time. His theme is a soccer party. He is also in the middle of playing soccer and has had a great season. he scores in nearly every game and the last game scores 4 goals.. a good season to say the least.
A trip to the beach and Birmingham mixed in here as well. everyone is going good there.. the kids enjoy the Birmingham trips seeing everyone and playing with cason and kiley..
4. Hadden is playing on the 7-8 year old machine pitch baseball league. is has played all season at 3rd base and is quite the little player with a great arm. his team has finished the regular seasons 10-2 with several good teams. Tournaments start this week and next week.
hadden has finsihed first grade and excelled in school. he really likes to write and read. he is through his 2nd harry potter book and in the middle of his 3rd book.
spencer has had a good year in school and is now reading to carrie and i at night. we are curious how kindergarden will be because he can read pretty well and is doing small math. so we will see.
Carrie is good... 8 months pregnant and we are still trying to decide on a name for the baby... Flynn, Beckett, nash and Thatcher are the finalists...flynn has been eliminated and it looked like nash was in the lead but rounding the last corner it appears he broke his leg... now it is thatcher and Beckett... with thatcher as a 5-4 favorite and Beckett as 50-1 long shot.. we will see...
Summer is here.... more over the next few days.. unless my next post is 3 months from now which is the norm....

Things Kids say
Carrie took Spencer to McDonalds last week and after he ate he was playing in the playground --- he met someone there that was in his school and was playing with her when out of the blue starts saying " my dad burps and farts all the time.. all day long" if you know spencer you know he does not have a quiet voice but a loud meyer voice..... needless to say carrie was about as red as a fire engine and told spencer no more bathroom words in public.
Hadden came home with a sheet from school that said if i had a 100 i would: spend it on a eggrsive dog. so if someone tried to break in my house they are going to become barbeque - you turn over the page and he has a picture with a quote : chew him up.
the 7-8 year old heat - haddens team are having a good season. they are 7-1 today and hadden had a good game and scored a bucket. the kid he was guarding today was at least a foot taller than him so that was a challenge. we won the game 28-16

Halloween
Hallowen was a great time this year with the kids. Hadden was freddie kruger and spencer was a glow in the dark skeleton. we had the annual chilli cookoff in the culdasac and trick or treated with a huge group of kids.. spencer did a disappearing act for about 5 min while carrie and i ran aroudn the neighborhood looking for him...carrie and i had a halloween party the night before at chris and ann's house... needless to say the host did not tell us that their costume was pirate because that is what we dresseed up as 20 version and their costume was the 200 version... needless to say we looked more like deck hands.
this week while gettting a flat tire fixed spencer wore the mask in the store and got some smiling looks.. hadden was not a fan and before we went to lowes he said spencer take off the mask.. spencer with his evil laugh ran around a bit egging on his older brother.. while hadden was getting embarrased
