Pauline Perkinson
Our sweet Polly is named after one of the most wonderful women I know. Dannys Grandma Pauline Perkinson has lived an incredible life and continues to serve us constantly. She is happy, beautiful, kind, and a woman of truth. I hope Polly will receive strength throughout her life by knowing and understanding the footsteps she has to follow.
Pollys first few weeks
We had a wonderful first few weeks at home with Polly. We had family and friends come to see her and it was a lot of fun. My sister Courtney had been here for 6 weeks this summer but had to get back to real life just a week before Polly arrived. :(
She surprised me by jumping in the car and driving here just a few days after Polly was born. It wouldnt have been the same without her here sitting on the couch holding Polly for 4 days. Ha Ha. Love my sis to death and am so lucky to have her. She is wonderful!

Cole turns 3! :)
The week we came home from the hospital was my Cole mans 3rd birthday! I cant believe how fast time flies. We kept things REALLY simple and just had the family over for cake and ice cream. This was a fun birthday because cole was old enough to be very excited about it all. He is an absolutely delightful kid and I just can not get enough of him. He said he wanted a motorcycle cake and given that I JUST had a baby, it was nothing special... but he loved it. He is sweet and sassy. Cole is my little collector. He LOVES to play and carries piles of toys everywhere we go. It is exhausting picking up after him but I am so glad he has a cute imagination and can keep himself entertained. I have laughed out loud watching him try to carry everything he totes around with him, and we finally had to set a limit of 2 toys in his bed because it was seriously getting out of control! ha ha. Love Love Love him! He is really into playing super heros so we got a few costumes for his birthday. They were quite a hit at the party and I dont think he has taken them off since. Happy birthday buddy!

Polly is here!! :)
Polly is here and we are absolutely in love (especially dad and her brothers!!) Here are the details...
Contractions all night thursday night but nothing that got closer than 5-8 minutes apart. I had a Dr appointment friday morning at 9:30 and when he checked me he said I was 3-4 cm dilated. He said he though I was in early labor and being group be strep positive with a history of going quickly with cole... he said he would plan on seeing me at the hospital later that day. :) I had a lunch date scheduled with friends so I went and hung out with them for a little bit and walked around the mall. My contractions continued to only be 5-8 min apart but my back was KILLING me. By about 5 pm I could not take the back pain any longer so my mom came over and danny and I headed to the hospital. I felt kind of silly because despite all that time my contractions didnt ever get closer. They hurt really bad when I had them but they were still so far apart. I got to the hospital and Dr Huish was actually there for a delivery. He admitted me no questions asked, I got my epidural (worst one to date because my legs were SO numb but I could feel the contractions in my stomach), and they started my 4 hours of antibiotics. I was only 4 1/2 cm dilated. After my antibiotics Dr Huish broke my water and within the hour I was ready to have Polly. Dr Huish beat my mom and verna to the hospital and was so kind to wait until they got there. I pushed a couple times and couldnt believe she was actually here! We are so blessed that everything went so smoothly. It is truly a miracle and gift from heaven to have a new baby. Believe it or not I really enjoy it all! She was perfect!
Born August 12, 2011 @ 10:54 pm. Weighed 6 lbs 14 oz. Surprised us all by Looking so much like her brother Cole! :)
I had Christa Nail as my nurse. She is one of my best friends at work so it was awesome. It was so fun to deliver with my girls and they even decorated my room so cute! Thanks girls!!
There was nothing more amazing than watching my two little guys meet their sister for the first time. They absolutely love her and their reactions were so sweet.
Polly had jaundice very quickly after she was born. She was admitted to the NICU and was under lights for a full 3 days. Luckily they let me stay at the hospital with her even though I was ready to be discharged. It was not very fun but I was grateful to get the lights done so we didnt have to do it when we got home.
