Going home!

proud papa

Just waiting...

No more counting!!!

Chandler Troyce McGary was born on Tuesday, January 19th at 9:02am! We went in to my Dr. appointment on Monday afternoon, where they hooked us up to the monitor because the baby's heartrate was pretty fast. It showed I was having contractions which I wasn't really feeling. My Dr. said I was ready to just have that baby, so he sent us over to the hospital at about 6:00pm. Things were moving pretty slow, so they finally broke my water and started me on pitocin by about midnight, and then we just waited... I got my epidural at about 4 or 5ish in the morning (which was really great-the nurse anesthesist was super good and fast. I thought he was still numbing me, and it was already over! And best of all, it worked perfectly!!) and by about 8:15 I started pushing! Everything went really well, and was over so fast! Jason still cracks up at me because I was laughing and smiling all through it. So it really did go very well, I am so grateful for that!!

The final countdown!

9 days and counting...

Christmas-time at the cabin!

Jason, Jan, Garrett, Chad and Sarah gathered around our new Rock Band Beattles game we got for Christmas!
26 weeks, standing in fornt of Priest Lake

The boys going out for a ride! I got left out a lot due to being pregnant...I was kinda sad about that.

I did get to go on a ride with the other pregnant woman (Emily) and the little kids, which was really very fun!

Here are finnally some pictures of me and my belly! I didn't do a very good job of taking actual pregnant tummy pictures, and I actually don't remember when they were taken, darn it! But I do know that they are in chronological order with the top being most recent. This is 32 weeks. It's not a great picture of me, I was dressed to go out duck hunting with Jason.

Here we are ready to go to a Halloween party. I'm dressed as a belly dancer (ha ha) and I'm not sure what Jason is...I think he's a guy from the 70's. So I was 28 1/2 weeks here.

Jason's mom got us all together to make fall wreaths this year. Here's us showing off our work, and Emily and I with our bellies-we were only 10 days apart. (She has already had hers now)

Okay so you can't actually see my belly real well in this one. This was in Salt Lake, by the conferrence center when we went down to General Conference on my birthday this fall! 24 1/2 weeks

This one below is at about 6 months.
