Shayne's Delivery

My beautiful baby girl Shayne Michelle was born 10-12-2011!! I shared my story with Dalton's birth and needed to update you all on Shayne's. I had a scheduled c-section and it was so much better than I expected. I was terrified to be awake during a surgery but God put a peace on my heart and I knew it was going to be okay. Gavin was the best husband and kept me calm the entire time. It was really fast and then within the hour I was holding my precious girl. We stayed in the hospital for 3 days and now have been home for 2 1/2 weeks. My recovery is so much better than after I had Dalton and that is just a reassurance that we made the right choice. I also feel better than when I was pregnant with Shayne.  God is so good!! I am truly blessed to have my two kids and know they are a gift.

Shayne Michelle Papit is here!!!!! She waited to arrive until her scheduled c-section to join us. I was hoping she might make it a little earlier so Michelle and Eric could meet her. Here are a few pictures from right before we left for the hospital and of her first few days.

Funny faces

I love my family!

Bed Rest

This second pregnancy has been alot different than my first. I have been on bed rest for about 3 months. I have to keep reminding myself that it is all worth it and it will be a memory soon enough. I am so thankful to be able to have a second child and I know God would not put me through anything I could not handle. My mom, Gavin and my friends have been my heroes the past few months. I am totally useless and I have to think about my son through all of this. Dalton has been my sole focus for 2 years and it is hard to watch others care for him. He has adjusted so well and even pulls me to the couch as soon as I stand up.  He is going to be a great big brother. 


The next 18 years I will not be able to relax so I should enjoy the next few days. My csection is scheduled for next week! I have had mixed emotions about a csection since we got pregnant. Dalton's delivery was very hard on both dalton and I. He almost didn't make it and I had a long recovery afterwards. We have watched Shayne's size throughout the pregnancy and she is on the bigger size :). My last appointment my doctor, gavin and I decided it would be too risky to try to have a natural delivery again. So the csection was scheduled :). I can't wait to hold our little girl!!! 


Sorry just had to ramble about what I have been going through. 

Aunt Chell!!!

Michelle is in town to help get ready for baby shayne!!

Sweet pictures

Nana got Dalton a pumpkin!

Active afternoon

Playing in the yard with nana! His happy laugh filled the yard and the house. I had to go see what was making him so happy.

Pool

I'm not sure how much longer we will be able to play in the pool but today was beautiful! I actually stuck my feet in for a little bit. It is so fun to play with Dalton. He has been great with my being on bedrest I just hate that I'm missing these last few weeks to enjoy just mom and Dalton time.
