A boy and his dog

The newest addition to the Evans Family:

Tug.

The aussie.
Kohan absolutely loves him too.

(I know, what am I thinking? - newborn + puppy= no sleep.)

And Little Miss Paige is already 3 weeks old! Time flies by so fast.

L.O.V.E.

Just thought I would share this cute father-daughter moment. Paige Celebrating St. Pattricks Day.
Kohan is spending the week with his Nanna and Pappa at the ranch. My house is erie quiet without him around. I miss him, can't wait to pick him up on Sunday.

All in a days work.

We had family day today. And it was great. We went and got Paige's newborn pictures done, and pictures of Kohan and Paige together. (They turned out so cute, can't wait to post them.) In assuring that Kohan behaved himself during pictures we took him to McDonald's to get his happymeal and then took him to a mini carnival as a reward for being good. He got to ride a ferris wheel - wish I had my camera the look on his face was priceless.And then flew his dad in a mini helicopter. He helped his dad work on his "race car" as Kohan calls it, and rode his four wheeler to the park. He then wanted to have a campout in his room to take a nap.

After a long hard day of playing and being cute. For both of them.

The Debut of Paige Addison 3.6.09

Paige Addison is Finally Here!! And boy what a completely different experience this delivery was than Kohan!!

I had Paige all natural ~ not one thing of pain medication in any form

But not by choice.

I went into the hospital Friday Morning at Midnight. By the time I was checked in and ready to go they started me one the gel stuff at 3 in the morning. That had contractions going like crazy, but they were tolerable.

By 6'oclock in the morning they started my Fluids and the Oxytocin drip. At this point I was ready for some kind of pain meds.

Shift Change with the nurses also happened to start at this time + and an extremely busy OB Dept = no nurses to be found anywhere.

By 6:15am I was having contractions every 2 minutes and was now ready to give in and have an epidural, but not nurse to be found.

By 6:30am My water broke, and still no nurse with my contractions now coming what seemed like every 30 seconds. At this point I was done, Brandon was done. He went to get a nurse 4 times at the nurses station and no one was listening to him that my water broke.

FINALLY at 6:45am the head manager of the OB came in her street clothes and checked me. She said I was only a 4 and could have an epidural and they started to prep me. (Amazingly once the Manager was there I had my choice of nurse there was so many in there.)

Well, Miss Paige was in an extreme hurry and as soon as I sat up to get ready for the epidural I had a contraction and dialated to a 10 and had to push. It was total panic in my room, the OB Manager was screaming for a Dr. and nurses to get the baby cart ready, I am in total pain crying for some kind of pain relief, and being told not to push. (Why do the tell you that? Seriously.)

So Thank goodness at 7am Dr. Walters walked into the OB department to start his daily shift and delivered Paige at 7:03am in the morning. No pain meds through contractions, delivery, or an episiotomy. I strongly do not recommend!! But when I looked over at my beautiful baby girl, it was all worth it.
She was 7lbs 10oz. and 20.5 inches long. The same exact size as her brother. And just as cute.

Here are some pictures of the days journey:

Today is the Day...

We have reached the finish line people!! Wooo Hooo!!

Paige Addison is going to make her debut hopefully by this time tomorrow morning.

I am scheduled to go to the hospital tonight at Midnight.

If all goes to plan her Birthday will be

3.6.09.

Though 3.7.09 would not be a bad birthday either -
that is miss Megan Bowles birthday and that would be a very special day to have her as well.
Either way she is going to be a Pisces. Brandon and I going to have one spirited Daughter!



I will surely be posting pictures soon!!
