MoRE PaiGe!
I can't believe how BIG Paige is getting. She is now 3 months old and is growing up WAY too fast! It seems to go faster and faster each time. Here are some pictures and some updated stats.
First Few Weeks:
She loves to sleep a lot and cuddle with M & D and her brothers.
She eats every two hours a day and about every 3-4 at night.
She is a content baby, but hates a getting a bath getting dressed after a bath.
Had her first trip to St. George and was so good.
Your first smile was to Mommy at 4 weeks old.
Month One:
More awake and alert and starting to focus her eyes better.
Still content
Started sleeping a 5-6 hour stretch at night.
Had her second trip to St. George and was once again a trooper.
Starting to love bath time, but still hates getting dressed after.
Holds hands up by chest tightly, it makes her feel secure.
Started cooing at about 5 weeks old.
Holds head up pretty well during tummy time, but not much control yet.
Plays with her tongue a lot and sticks it out.
Month Two:
12 lbs. 6 oz., 24" long
She's happy and smiley girl, it doesn't take much for her to give us a sweet smile.
She is most happy in the early morning and in the late evening.
Took her third trip, this time to Hawaii and she was so great.
Holding head and upper body up well with good control.
Loves to have her hands together all the time (She gets that from her mommy)
Starting to suck on her hands and fingers which really makes her drool.
Sitting up well in her Bumbo chair, but doesn't last very long in it.
Has great control of arms and legs.
Gets really excited when talked to and kicks her legs and swings her arms.
Getting pretty good at talking and trying different sounds.
Her first giggle was at 12 weeks old.
Still sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at night.
She can now hold her own weight on her legs.
Starting to cry when getting set down (She got spoiled in Hawaii).
She is a noisy eater and clicks her tongue constantly.

Lame-o Blog-o
Sorry my blog has been so lame lately, but I guess I have some good excuses. Just wanted to let you know that it is still going to be lame for a few more weeks. We are busy with the school year coming to an end, soccer and Brandon, Paige and I are headed to Hawaii in two weeks. So check back later, cute pictures of Paige coming soon...

Paige Lynne Jones
Well she is here! Here are the details mostly for my keeping. So if you don't want all the details you can skip and go to the pictures.
I had been having a ton of regular and strong Braxton Hicks contrations for weeks (just like I always do). The week before my due date I was dilated to 3 cm and about 50% effaced and really soft. I went to my appointment the next week on Wednesday. I was one day past due. I only had a handful of contractions that day and went to my appointment at 3:00pm. I was going for a VBAC this time and couldn't be induced so I was going to discuss my options. She checked me and I was dilated to 4 cm and 70% effaced. She stripped my membranes and since I was overdue I had to get an ultrasound and a Non-stress test. During all of these test I started to get some painful contractions. I drove back to my sister's house (she had my kids) at about 5:00pm. The contractions stayed steady and strong. Our families ate dinner together and Brandon met me there. I was starting to have to walk around to feel better with the contractions. We decided to go to the hospital.
We got to the hospital at 7:15pm. They checked me and I was almost 5 cm dilated and 80% effaced. I got my epidural (yeah!) at about 8:45pm. and I was so grateful because the contractions were close together and pretty strong. She broke my water at about 9:00pm. At 10:00 pm they were getting stronger and I had to push the epidural button a few more times. I told Brandon I wanted the Nurse to check me. She checked me at 10:15pm and I was fully dilated and she was right there. Yeah!!! I started pushing at 10:30 and she was born at 10:46pm.
8 pounds 4 ounces
22 inches long
Apgar: 7/9
She is our biggest baby by 2 lbs.!!! She is beautiful!! We love her so much and we were so happy the VBAC went smoothly and we had no complications.

Due Date
Today is my due date and yes, I am still here. I hope she comes soon I am getting pretty sore and slow on my feet. I am trying to be patient. While I have been waiting for my sweet baby's arrival I have been working on her nursery. I am almost done. So I thought I would share some pictures.
We still need to put up crown molding. Brandon is going to build me a frame around a large mirror to go above the dresser. And I need to finish painting some details in the room. Anyway, here is what we have so far. Thanks to Hilary and Amy for all their help!!

38 weeks
...well almost 38 weeks. I think this baby is going to come sooner than later. I am feeling SO ready to have her here and not be pregnant anymore. Time has really gone by quickly with this pregnancy though. I guess having three kids to take care of and a busy husband keeps me pretty distracted. Wish me luck on a smooth delivery, and lets pray I don't have to have another C-section this time around!!
