So I’m sitting in my Paris hotel packing to come home when there is a knock at the door. It’s my friend Michelle letting me know that she just got a message from Jon that my sister Jack’ee is in the hospital! (I didn’t get the international plan on my phone. Friends are awesome!)
She was due on the 18th (the day I flew to Europe) and since the stinker waited until after I made travel plans and paid for the trip to let me know she was even pregnant I was planning on just missing little mans birth. I actually invited her to go with me. Her excuse (she already knew she was preggo and had a due date!) was that she couldn’t take the time off and that she didn’t think they could financially swing it during that time of year. LIES! 😉
The whole time I was gone I kept waiting to hear if my nephew had been born yet. So Michelle is at the door letting me know he’s on his way. So I knew I was going to miss his birth anyway. Happy/sad.
So she went in to get induced on Friday… I think. Jet lag. Diff countries, time zones… What day is it? OR is it night? I’m so messed up right now.
Soon to be Dad and his Mom
So she didn’t progress at all when they induced her the first time so she got sent home. SO I got my jetlagged self over to the hospital sometime Monday morning when she was back to try again. I can’t even tell you how excited I was to be there for her during such a special time.
Foot/leg rubs and a mani/pedi. Plus I brought her some amazing chocolate from London. This is my new crack. It’s a good thing I cannot get it easily in the States. 
The waiting Moms/Grandmas.
Going for a walk to try and get things moving and progressing a bit faster.
Waiting out in the lobby while Jack’ee got her epidural. This conversation happen a bit before she got her epidural.
Jack’ee: Looking at me, “You did this twice!?” Looking at Mom, “And you did this four times!!”
Me: Um, ya…
Jack’ee: You’re both SO stupid!!!
Us: Laughing SO hard!
Mom: Abuela did this ten times.
Jack’ee: She’s an idiot!
She was feeling better after her meds kicked in. They call it labor for a reason. It’s not a walk in the park. 😉
So he wasn’t born until Wednesday. I was at the hospital all day Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday R had Speech at 9am and then Kaylee had her one year follow up with her urologist at the Children’s hospital at 12:30.
Kaylee was on the table getting her ultrasound done when I got the text from my Dad saying baby Logan was born via c-section.
I was laughing SO hard. I missed his birth anyway! Life. BUT little Logan is hear safe and healthy and Jack’ee is doing as well as can be expected.
Also Jon’s sister Sharice had her little man a wee bit early in Texas a couple hours later via emergency c-section. Little Connor is going to spend some time in the NICU and Sharice is going to have a bit of a recovery. 🙁 But everyone made it through alive and we are so grateful for that.
So we were blessed with not one, but two little men in our family this week.
The kiddos are so excited to have two cousins born on the same day! 🙂
Regan was a little more generous with his self measurement than Kaylee was.
Typical shenanigans. 
When you can’t find a ruler to mark on your ruler….. notebook.
It’s ruler official. Regan is taller. Good thing his big sister is a bundle of concentrated self confidence. She doesn’t need to be taller because she’s older and always will be. 
We need baby Logan’s measurements up there asap.
