He's here.............

Boy, oh boy.....it's a boy! Kline Dennen was born at 1:30am April 21st......8 lbs 12 oz...21 inches long........and ouch!!!!!! I labored at home from 5am- 6:30pm...then went to the hospital, What a car ride! When I went in they measured me at 10 cm....then we waited for the Dr. he checked me and said I was only 8. The baby was sunny side up and I felt like I really was ready to push...but I wasn't aloud to. I couldn't help it and ended up swelling my cervix's. I was stuck at 8.5 for 4 hours trying not to push the whole time. Then I couldn't stand it and asked for the epidural.THANKS GOD!!! I got it about 11:30 at night. At about 12am Kline's heart rate was dropping and they put me on oxygen. Then at 1:00 ish his heart rate dropped to 40 so they all came rushing in and put one of the internal head heart rate monitors in to his head (screwed it into his head) still the heart rate was low and the Dr. said he had to get him out with forceps...they said there was no time even for a c-section. SO we got him out in about 5 pushes.......thank god I had the epidural!!!!!! He was super healthy and a keeper!!!!! He is doing great...so cute!!! Breastfeeding is challenging (he's a biter)and doing anything takes forever. All our love, Loren, Denny, and Kline Dennen!!!!!

40 weeks and over due! :-/

Here we wait!  Little Peanut seems to be way to comfy in there and doesn't realize that there is much more room to stretch out here!  SO, We wait!    I am having a really hard time sleeping......I know you say, Sleep now........but I can't, I am up most nights from 3am - 6 and then go back to bed till about 10am.   My hip have been killing me at night so sleeping for long periods is not so easy.   I guess my body is just getting ready for the lack of sleep a newborn brings.  Den on the other hand is sleeping like a bear! ;-)  I have recently become addicted to Coco Pebbles so we may be changing the babies name to Pebbles for a girl and Bambam for a boy.........Bambam Mccormac, sounds like a ball player, or a really good pooper!  ;-)    We'll keep you posted ! Hopefully there will be a baby here soon!!!!!! Love to you all! xoxooxoxoxoxo Loren, Denny, and the Peanut!

39 weeks and STILL COUNTING!

HI:  The Dr. visit went well today...Peanut has moved to the best birthing position...yeah!  So hopefully it stays put...so we have the easiest labor possible!!!!!!!! I also didn't gain any weight this week......YAHOOOOOOOOOO! Thank God!!!  I did have more cramps last night...Den thinks I will go into Labor tonight because of the full moon....we'll see.  We will keep you posted.....hopefully this will be our last belly shot and you will only see Peanut pictures from now on.  Love to you all! xoxoxxo

38 weeks!

Well, here we are 38 weeks.........I started to have contractions last night and lots of Braxton Hicks today........hopefully that means the Peanut will arrive sooner than later!  The baby is facing sunny side up....which isn't the best birthing position, so we are doing some exercises to turn the baby's  face towards my butt.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that Peanut will move, so we have an easier delivery!  Other than that, not much new...I am officially done working and spending a lot of time on the couch!  ;-)  We'll keep you posted! Love to you all! xoxooxoxxooo
