Damon Lawrence Innes

At my last doctors appointment we asked my doctor if he could induce me on the first, he said that he would need a good reason to induce me before 39 weeks. So he checked me and I was dilated to 3.5 and he moved things around to try and get things going. The reason we needed damon to come 2 days before I was 39 weeks was because Lamar had to go into this study to make some money. So of course we wanted Lamar to be there. Anyways after my appointment I we went and bought castor oil, boy that stuff is crazy. I took it when we got home and I spent alot of the rest of the day close to the bathroom. That night I was having contractions that were 4 mins apart. I wanted to wait til the morning before I called my dr, but in the morning the contractions were gone! I called my dr and he said to drink more oil and to call him when I got contractions again. The second time drinking the oil it took a longer time to get contractions but finally around 8 pm they started up again. I didnt tell anyone til 840 just to make sure. I called my dr and told him the contractions were 4 mins apart and he said to go to the hospital. We got there just before 10 and an hour later my dr came and broke my water....My contractions were starting to hurt way bad and I couldn't keep my body from shaking, I didnt sleep very good the night before and needed to so I got a epidural 30 mins after having my water broke. I fell asleep for awhile and around 3 am they checked to see how dilated I was, I was only a 5 so they gave me pitocin to help things along. I fell asleep again and right before 6 I could feel pressure, my nurse checked and she said that she could see that babys head. So I got some more medicine so I couldnt feel pressure anymore, and everyone else was getting everything ready. I started pushing a little after 6 and 45 mins later Damon was born! Lamar got to cut his cord, and after that he followed the baby every where...he loves him so much it's fun to watch them together. The timing was perfect cause Lamar got to stay one night with us then he had to leave the next morning at 10. Me and my mom left the hospital the same day, it's nice to be home in my bed. I hope this doesnt sound way crazy it is kinda hard to re tell. I will put up pictures too! I love being a mom :)

Beach days

Here are some pictures from the beach, it's finally summer weather here...

We did some fun things with Lamar's parents. This place Kualoa Ranch does these tours, cause lots of movies are filmed there. I put up a couple pictures from the tour. Lamar went golfing with his dad and some friends. We went to this japanese resturant after graduation, where they cook right in front of you too... Enjoy the pictures!

Lamar graduated!!!! It's crazy to think that we have been in Hawaii almost 2 years. It has been probably the best time of my life so far. We have grown to rely on each other and grow closer together. It's sad that our time here is up, but we have learned what we needed to. So it's time to get all uncomfortable again and move....find new friends, new town, new school, and we'll be parents this time. We have met so many people that have become family here and it's sad to think we might not see some of them again. Lamar's parents came out again for graduation, it was fun to have some family here. We took lots of pics of the things we did with them, so i'll have to do another post!

Our past week

On Monday the 28th I went in for my last prenatal check up. I mentioned I had some spotting and so my doctor did an ultrasound to check the baby and to check my cervix. The baby was 3 pounds and the heart beat was strong. But my cervix was half the thickness it should have been. So my doctor had me go to the hospital the next day to get some tests done. They did a test to see if the baby could come within the next 2 weeks and it came back positive. So I got a fancy bracelet and was moved to a bigger, better room. I got hooked up the a machine to monitor the babies heart and my contractions. They wanted to give me steroid shots to help the babies lungs develop. They were given 24 hours apart so we stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We were planning on flying home to Arizona after Lamar graduates next week but the health of me and the baby are way more important then the plans we already made. So our lives changed so fast in one day, everyone has been so understanding and helpful. It is comforting to know we are being taken care of and watched over. I don't think having my first baby on an airplane is a good idea, so I am glad to say our baby boy will be born in Hawaii. haha I love my doctor and the hospital so it is comforting to know what to expect. It's crazy to think we could be parents very soon, hopefully not too soon.. He needs to grow more before he is aloud to come! I will have weekly doctor appointments now and I will try to keep everyone updated! I look so cute in these pics haha thought everyone should enjoy them!

Were having a baby!!

I guess it's about time I posted about my pregnancy.. If you didn't already know I am having a baby! I will start at the very begining, I was waiting for my period to start cause I didn't want to think I was pregnant and be disapointed. So I waited about a week past when I was suppose to start... On morning I woke up way early, even before Lamar was up which is early, and I was brave enough to take the test. I just hated doing them because I always got negative. But I did it and waited awhile and when I looked at it I was so happy and shocked I almost didnt believe it. I never got really sick which was super lucky. I just woke up every night to pee and eat a little snack. The only time I got sick was when I brushed my teeth, which means I brushed them more then once. It took me forever to get my insurance so I didnt go to the doctor until I was in my second trimester. It was driving me crazy not knowing what was going on. That's why I waited a long time before telling a lot of people. I went in when I was 16 weeks and my doctor, who is awesome, did a sonogram and we found out that it was a boy!! We were so happy it's what I secretly wanted, but I would have been happy with a girl too. I am around 19 weeks now and I got pictures of the baby! Enjoy :)

Home for the Holidays

This year we stayed in hawaii for christmas and new years. It was nice to not worry about any thing and really enjoy the time off from work and school. Lamar's parents and three younger sisters came the week before christmas. It was their first time here so they were super excited. I had to work while they were here but there were a couple days I could do things with them. The saterday i was off we went to pearl harbor and the swap meet, then waikiki when were all very tired. One day we spent the whole day at the PCC and it rained the whole time but it was still fun. The night before they left we did a little christmas night where we read the story from the scriptures and put together stockings... it was fun to have company and to see some family. One the morning of christmas we woke up and it was so weird but we just started opening gifts from each other. Lamar did awesome picking out gifts for me with out me knowing what they were.. I was always with him for his gifts so i only had one secret gift for him, and he loved it! haha It was some cologne.... but we both got shoes, clothes, books, and the best one for me was a nice cannon camera! I am gonna be better at taking pictures now cause they look so much better! After opening all our gifts we went to the beach, it was awesome, we cooked hot dogs and played in the water. It was nice and sunny when we were there and it had been rainy the week before, so I was happy :) New years was crazy from 10-12 pm the neighbors bought sooo much fireworks it was crazy. We set some off and wanted to wait til later to do more, then it started raining like crazy so we just went to bed! (Somehow our chirstmas day pictures got deleted, but here some other ones)
