Hayes is here! When I went to my doctors appointment today she said I was at a 5 so she wanted me to head to the hospital. I was still not feeling contractions so she wanted to go ahead and deliver the baby so I wouldn't be in labor at home and not know it. Anyway, Lee and I got to the hospital around 4:30. She came a few hours later and broke my water. I had my epidural this time so the contractions that followed weren't bad at all. Thank heaven for good pain drugs! Once I got to a 10 I only had to push 6 times to get him out. So much easier than it was with Price! Once he was born they noticed he was growling a little when he breathed. They took him to the nursery to observe him. I have only gotten to hold him for about 2 minutes so I am ready for him to be back from there! I am doing just fine, trying to wrap my head around the fact that we have 2 kids now! Hard to believe. Anyway, we will post more pictures tomorrow when people get to see him and hold him. For now it is way past bed time!

Hayes' Shower
Yesterday some of my wonderful friends threw a shower for baby Hayes. It was so nice to be around people and out of the house! Thank you so much Brooke, Jennifer and Michelle for all your hard work. It was all so nice!
Wow, what a belly!

Trip to the ER
Lee took this and sent it to me from his phone at the ER. Poor sick little boy.Last night was an eventful one at the Boyd house. Around 4 we noticed that Price was running a slight fever. We gave him some motrin and he seemed fine, running around and playing like normal. He ate a pretty good dinner and was only slightly whiny. A little later he started to get really lethargic and whiny. He felt like he was burning up so we took his temp again and it was up to 102. It was getting close to bed time so we figured we would take an early bath and head to bed. He cried the entire time in the bathtub which is so unlike him and he shivered when we took him out. We called the doctor but it took a while for him to get back with us. By the time he did we had already decided to take him to the ER. Because of the whole bed rest thing and the fact that there are so many germs at the the hospital I had to stay home. Probably one of the hardest things I have had to do as a mom. Lee, Memaw and Price headed to the ER and I just waited for news. After his fever getting higher, throwing up several times, getting flu tests and a chest x-ray Price was feeling better and his fever started coming down. Both types of flu test were negative and the chest x-ray was clear. We are sooo thankful for that! He was diagnosed with a viral respiratory infection. The doctor said he should better in a few days. They finally made it home around midnight. He didn't have a very good nights sleep but has napped well today. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before he feels like his old self. He's been playing a lot more today so maybe we are on the end of it! Thank you all for your prayers.

Daddy's Birthday
On Sunday we celebrated Lee's birthday. We went to his family's farm and had a great time watching the kids run around. The adults got to act like big kids too.

Trick or Treat
We took Price to a few houses in our neighborhood this year. This was his first trick or treating experience and I think he liked it. He would say "trick or treat" and "thank you" at all the houses. I think he liked looking at everyones pumpkins even more than the candy he got. After we finished we came back to our house and handed out candy with Molly and Henry. Price loved opening the door and for some reason he growled at all the people. Maybe he should have been a lion for Halloween?!
So happy!
Our sweet neighbor, Shaleen...our first stop. (Try to focus on the picture and not my huge belly)
Price hung his glow bracelet on the camera...Lee took this as he was doing it. LOVE those blue eyes.
Back home watching the trick or treaters.
My favorite family picture in a long time. Can't wait to add Hayes to the pictures!
Some of you are aware that this is national blogging month. I am going to try to keep up with it and do a blog post everyday. Of course I am not making any promises because I'll be a little busy what with giving birth and a newborn and all but we'll see what happens. Since I'm bored out of my mind on bed rest you'll be hearing from me more anyway! Tuesday, November 03, 2009
Bed Rest!
Well, here I sit (lay actually) at almost 37 weeks pregnant, already dilated to a 3 and 70% effaced. She put me on total bed rest. She said I can only get up to go to the bathroom. No picking up Price, no walking around, nothing. She would really like to see him stay in for another week or two. I'm not convinced I can make it that long but we will see. She also said that if I don't lay in bed she would not be surprised to see me delivering this week...yikes! So I'm going to be a good girl and follow her rules as much as possible. There are obviously still things I have to do like get my child out of bed in the morning but other than that I'll be laying! The biggest problem is that I am not feeling contractions. She's worried I'll go into labor and not even know it...she said to call immediately if I feel anything since I went so fast with Price. I'm just hoping to make it to the hospital in time to get drugs! Keep us in your prayers as we may see Hayes sooner rather than later!

Fall Festival
On Friday night we headed to the church for the Fall Festival. They have all kinds of games and fun things for kids to do. Price had a blast. Both sets of grandparents and Kyle, Marci, and Karlie were all there. It was fun to see everyone and watch the kids in their costumes.
Ready to go!

Halloween Party
I have a whole lot to blog about since it was such a busy weekend with Halloween. Price hasn't slowed down since Friday afternoon when we went to Aiden's house for a little Halloween party. It was fun to do something out of the ordinary on our play date.
1st we got all dressed up

Pumpkin Carving
On Monday we carved our pumpkin with Price. He didn't like the insides at all and refused to touch them. He did, however, like the finished product. He keeps saying "Price carve that pumpkin" when he walks past it. Oh how I love fall!

Nesting
For our anniversary Lee and I decided to buy an embroidery machine. I love it and have already gotten so much use out of it. Recently I started making things for Hayes and for other friends babies. It's been fun and has helped me get out some of my nesting needs!
This is the nap mat that Michelle helped me make. Price sleeps on it at MDO. It folds up really small and is pretty easy to carry. (Click on the pictures to make them bigger)

Frustrated
This picture has nothing to do with the post, I just really like it! :)
I am incredibly frustrated because our sweet baby boy is due to be here in 4 weeks and we STILL do not have his furniture. (We ordered it on July 7.) After calling USA Baby in Austin for the hundredth time today I found out that we won't have it in time for Hayes' arrival. It makes me sad that I cannot finish his room and bring my baby home to something that is put together. His room is just empty with the exception of the rocking chair and the painting we had done. I know he won't know the difference but its the fact that we don't have it and we don't really know when we will be getting it. Anyway, just wanted to document this and also let you know why you aren't seeing pictures of Hayes' room. Maybe by the time he is 6 months old it will finally be put together!

Baylor Homecoming
This weekend was Baylor University's Homecoming. We always love this weekend and seeing so many of our college friends. We went to the parade on Saturday morning, it was cold but it was fun. Price got to watch it with Aiden and Kayleigh. (Sadly I didn't get any decent picture of the 3 of them). We all had a fun time and look forward to taking both boys next year! To see our past Homecoming experience click HERE for 2008 and HERE for 2007.
This was Price and Kayleigh's 3rd parade together.
Class of 2029?
Michelle and Jen were my roommates all through my Baylor years. Molly came our junior year.
After the parade we went to the SUB for some Dr. Pepper floats (a Baylor tradition). Price and Daddy enjoyed 2 cups of it!
Then Price ran around like this...
On our way home we ran into Austin and Ashley. We went to Baylor at the same time but didn't meet until we were on our honeymoons. We love this couple and we were so excited to get to eat lunch with them. Their baby girl, Brooke, is too cute.Friday, October 23, 2009

Kinley's 2nd Birthday
Sorry for all the pictures lately. We've had a lot of events where I've been taking tons of pictures! I figure its why you read the blog anyway, no one really cares about the text!
We went to Kinleys' 2nd birthday party on Saturday after Masons. It was at the Mayborn Museum and Price had a blast. The kids just got to run around and play before they ate cake. Price is a huge fan of the museum anyway so the cake was just an added bonus! Lee hadn't been with us in a while so Price was excited to show him all the thing he can do there.

35 weeks and Homebound
I went to the doctor today. (I am technically not 35 weeks until tomorrow) Anyway, she was concerned because I have been having some contractions. She checked and I have not started dilating but Hayes is so low that she is worried about the contractions sending me into labor. So she told me that I am home bound until I come back to see her in 2 weeks. This means no shopping (grocery or otherwise), no excessive walking, no carrying heavy loads and just taking it easy in general. I think this should be interesting with a 2 year old. I am going to follow the rules as best I can but obviously there will be times I have to get out of the house. She joked that I need to get a bell and have Lee bring me everything I need. So that's where we are right now. I will report again in 2 weeks when I see her again!

Mason's 2nd Birthday
On Saturday we went to 2 birthday parties. I figured I would do each as its own post. Our first stop was Mason's house for a fun backyard party. They had a bounce house that looked like Clifford so Price was thrilled! It was such a fun time for the kids and a nice excuse for the moms to get to hang out and talk.

Ready for a Rodeo
We took Price to the fair and rodeo in town on Sunday. It rained the entire time we were there so that made it a little less fun. Price loved the petting zoo and the rodeo most of all. He has been talking about the rodeo so much that Lee took him back tonight. He's such a fun little boy!

Kansas Folk
A few weeks ago my most favorite cousins from Kansas, Jill, her ten month old son Brock, and her mom Joyce, came to visit. (Jill actually lives in Arkansas now but I think her heart will always be in Kansas). Anyway, we have gotten to see them a lot this year and it has been great. While they were here we took a trip to the zoo.
This is the first time we've been when the Komodo Dragon was where you could see it. Price was super excited.

This is as good as it gets when you try to take a picture of 3 children under 3! Karlie was not a fan!Monday, October 12, 2009
Kaska Farms
On Saturday Lee and I drove Price, Michelle, and Kayleigh to Kaska Family Farms in West, Texas. Our friend Emily followed us in her car and we met Jennifer and Brooke there. On the way we followed the GPS and it took us down this lovely mud road. Long story short, we got stuck in the mud and so did Emily. My sweet husband tried and tried to get us out but the mud was just too thick. I have to brag on him though because he kept a smile on his face the whole time. He was a real trooper! We ended up having to be pulled out by a tractor from the farm. It was an adventure, the picture below shows the tractor pulling us.
Once we FINALLY got there Price and Kayleigh were ready to go!
It ended up being a pretty cold nasty day and there was a lot of mud everywhere but we still had a good time. Lee and Price raced rubber ducks by pumping the water out with these pumps.
Then we went on a hayride. This was a big hit with all the kids.
All the kids on the hayride. (Gianna, Selah, Mason, Kayleigh, Aiden and Price)
They had this "corn box" with dry corn in it instead of sand. Price loved picking up all the corn and dropping it in the tubes.
"Hello in there!"
A small tractor pulled the cow ride. Price was all about it until it actually started. We could hear him screaming from beginning to end. Afterwards he kept saying "no like cows!"
Some of us decided to brave the muddy corn maze. It was an adventure, especially when all of our shoes were covered in mud. Emily's stroller wheels were completely covered. It was messy.Saturday, October 10, 2009

Welcome Home


Price's Memaw and Pepaw went on a trip to Colorado recently. We thought it would be fun to surprise them at the airport. Price held up a sign with their names on it and they were so happy to see him. You can tell he was way past his nap time but he was a trooper and loved seeing Memaw and Pepaw come home.

Bathing Macie/Injury Report
Price was more than happy to help Daddy bathe Macie in the backyard today. Macie was less than thrilled. This boy is pretty much happy any time he can do anything with the water hose. (I know it's hard to see in the pictures but he IS wearing a diaper!)


Just wanted to include a little update on Mr. Pricer (even if it does make me look like a bad mother!). Yesterday we went to the park after MDO with our friends. We had only been there a short time when Price went to play on the big playground with the rest of his friends. It's a thing he has done probably a hundred times. He was standing near the edge so I told him to scoot back. He turned around and walked away but next thing I know, he is falling and can't stop himself. He fell off a step and proceeded to fall all the way to the ground. It was a good 4 1/2 foot drop (at least) and he hit his head on a metal pole on the way down. He landed face down in the gravel and as soon as I scooped him up I saw the blood. There was A LOT of blood pouring out of his mouth. Thankfully my friends were all there to help calm me and Price down. We got the bleeding slowed down and Price spent some time just sitting in my lap. He cried a lot and we finally ended up going home. Thankfully, once we got all the gravel out of his gums and teeth we were able to see that nothing major is wrong. All of his teeth are intact, he just has a lot of cuts and swelling on his gums and lips. He also has a large purple bruise on his head where he hit the pole. Thank the Lord he wasn't hurt more. I have done lots of crying too. I know I cant always be everywhere but the guilt of not protecting him is killing me. He is healing and will be okay but the sight of him falling just plays over and over again in my head. It's awful! It really makes me so thankful for him and for God's protection.
