Introducing....
















Parker Lee Cagle! Arrived 8/23/2009 6 lbs 7 oz 19 inches long. I can't believe the timing this little guy had! My brother Jared got married Saturday 8/22/09. I was on bed rest but snuck myself to the temple for the ceremony. I contracted through the sealing but it wasn't anything big. I went home drank lots of water and took a nap and the contractions stopped. I went to the reception and sat the whole time and felt pretty good. I was so sick of telling everybody when I was due and what's going on. Everybody was like, "Wouldn't it be nice if he came tommorrow?" I honestly thought that was a long shot. Well, at 2:15 a.m. Sunday morning my water broke! I was literally laughing because I couldn't believe the timing! So we called my poor exhausted mother and she willingly came over and slept on the couch so that we could leave Macy in bed. We got to the hospital at about 3:00 a.m. and just waited for things to progress. I was already 90% effaced and 3 cm the week before, so that was really nice. I didn't have much work to do. I actually had to experience real contractions this time though. With Macy I was induced, and got the epidural before I felt anything too uncomfortable. The epidural this time came a lot later because they called the wrong anesthesiologist. He seemed kind of grumpy when he got there which was strange because he's the same guy I had last time and he was way cool. Anyways, the epidural made me numb up to my neck and I still felt every single contraction. The edge was taken away, but I felt them all! And it lowered my blood pressure so much that I got sick and was throwing up the whole time. I was also Group B positive so they had to hurry some penecillin into me through an IV which burned so bad!!!!! That made me throw up just from the pain, but at least it took my mind off of the contractions!?!?! Anyways, I started pushing at 9:40ish and had Parker at exactly 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning! We're so blessed that everything worked out so well! He's so healthy and perfect and beautiful! Macy is doing really well with him too. We'll see how she does starting tommorrow with no Grandma's around. She got pretty darn spoiled this week! Anyways, I'm glad it's all done and I'm glad we are all healthy! Thanks for all your prayers! They were heard and things couldn't have been better.

NEW BABY!!!


Muhahahahahahaha! (Evil laugh!) You totally thought you were going to see new baby Cagle didn't you? Nope, he's still hangin' out in my belly for now! The goat that has been living at our house just gave birth to the cutest little baby girl! She's so soft and sweet! Macy hasn't met her yet, but I'm sure she'll go nuts! It's so much fun living in the country and having horses and goats live at our house! They keep all of our weeds mowed down in the pasture which is very nice!


And as for an update on our baby boy....

I'm now on bedrest because my blood pressure won't stay down when I get up and do anything. At the doc on Wednesday BP was 160/122!!! Ahhhh! That freaked me out, cuz it's never gotten over 95 even when I had Macy. So I got to spend a couple hours at the hospital to be monitored and have blood tests for pre-eclampsia. Blood test came back fine, and BP stabilized after laying down, so we got to come home. I'm 37 weeks now which is two weeks past when we had Macy! And this baby had steroids a month ago, so we're excited to have maybe a chubbier baby this time! Now we're just trying to get through the weekend because my brother Jared is getting married in the morning. I'm sneaking off of bedrest to go to the sealing in the morning! Shhhh! Don't tell! Anyways.... I will post more later, Macy just woke up. Bummer!
