Wyatt's Birth Story

-
As mentioned in a previous post I was admitted to the hospital on December 6th and remained there on bed rest until December 10th when my blood pressure kept going up and they decided to induce labor. They induced labor around 10pm and I went through the labor process without an epidural up until the made the decision that we had to continue with a c-section because Wyatt's heart rate started dropping during contractions. So around 7am on the 11th I got an epidural and we headed to the operation room for the c-section. 

The c-section had to be one of the weirdest experiences. I remember every conversation with Payden, our doctor and the nurses but didn't feel anything. Having Payden at my side was the best feeling in the world and Wyatt joined this world and our family officially at 8:47am on December 11th. We weighed 3.6 pounds and was 16 inches long. 

Considering how early he was, Wyatt was sent to the NICU right after birth (I only got to see him for 5 minutes after he was born) so Payden followed him to the NICU while I was getting sewed up and sent back to my room for recovery. 








After the c-section my recovery was very difficult and I ended up staying in the hospital for almost three weeks total and didn't get discharged until Christmas Day. 

I ended up going though another surgery to remove a blood clot the size of a liter on my kidney and bladder. I also had three blood transfusions and two dialysis treatments and ended up with a blood clot in my lungs and fluid on my lungs. It was not an easy process for me but Wyatt was doing great during my stay and improved faster than the doctors originally expected.

Homemade NuWay Burgers

Growing up in Wichita, Kansas my husband has always known about the 'crumply burgers' at NuWay. I on the other hand had never heard of such a thing and never had the nerve to try the restaurant chain that I had never heard of. Yet since we have been dating since high school he eventually got me to try it and I have loved them ever since. When we moved out on our own I wanted to try and save money and figured I could make the 'crumply burgers' myself. After some trial and error I have come up with a recipe that works perfectly for us. A friend asked me to share the recipe, remember that I am not a chef though so there are no real measurements for the recipe but more of a "do what you feel is right". Ingredients: 1 pound of hamburger meat (or more depending on how many you are serving) mustard dill pickles white onion (we only use a little bit, but we always have onions on hand in our place so we take what we need each time) hamburger buns sliced c

This jacket was Brent's when he was a toddler and Payden wore it when he was a toddler and now Wyatt is wearing it. It's so cool to see him in these hand me downs. And I even found pictures of Payden wearing the jacket to compare.
