Long time no see

Well well, I guess I have been a little MIA for a while.  I'm hoping to change that.

Things for us have been super busy.  Gage is 11 now and playing football and baseball right now.  Lynnli is now almost 16 months and into everything.  So much fun.  So for today I am going to take a challenge to blog every night.  We will see how that goes.

Introducing Lynnli Jane Storm!!!!!!!!

June 23, 2011, 2:32 pm Lynnli Jane Storm made her presence in this scary world. Weighing in at 7 lbs 4 1/2 oz and 18.5 inches long. She is beautiful and so many ways. I'll post a picture and then I will tell the story. Original due date was June 18, 2011. However, Lynnli had her own ideas of what was going on. I went to the Dr on the 21st thinking that my water broke, only to be sent home and schedule for an induction the next day at 5:00 pm. The plan originally was to induce on the 27 because the Dr had to leave town to be at his daughters wedding. So we were a little shocked when we found out we were going earlier then that. So at 4:45 we checked into the hospital in hopes of having a normal delivery. At about 7 the balloon was inserted and I was 2 cm and 60% effaced. An hour later the balloon came out and I was 3 cm and 80% effaced so we thought the ball was rolling. However, nothing changed even with the Pit going. At 2:00 am the nurse shut off the pit to let me rest and would restart at 6:30. The pit was started at 6:30 and the contractions were more intense. Around 8 the Dr came and broke my water, then we waited. I was checked and nothing had changed. The epi (which I slept through) came after a contraction caused me to get sick and start throwing up. This made things a lot more comfortable. At noon there was still no change so Dr was very honest with me and said I don't think this is going to happen and for your sake and the babies I think we need to do a C-section.

Around 2:30 I was taken down for the C-section and things went great. I slept through this also and was woke up to Greg saying Babe I know why you had so much heart burn. To which I saw a beautiful head of hair and heard a little cry. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. In the delivery room she was so alert, looking around, watching what was going on, and seeming so content on being in this world.

She was greeted by Granny and Pappy to which a lot of tears were shed. When Gage got to the room he was like a kid in a candy store. I was still a little out of it so he got the camera and was Mr. Photographer. So many pictures. I even asked at one point.....what are you taking a picture of....to which he said......that thing hangin on the bed......YOU are taking pictures of my pee....I replied.......He said no that bag there and pointed to my bag of pee. So when he found out what it was he said OH and didn't take another picture of it. I had to laugh.

We were in the hospital until Saturday. I was a little nervous about how the first night home was going to go but it was great. Lynnli slept well, ate well, and was very content. I was a little shocked when she only got up 2 times in the night. It has been wonderful having this Precious Baby Girl added to our family.

I just sit and look at her sometimes and the best part is when I sit and watch her with her Daddy. It melts my heart and makes me fall in love with him over and over again.

Start of the softball season

As many of you know last years start of the softball season resulted in Greg having a broken leg and me getting a concussion. Will this years start was better. Still not injury free but better. I took a ball off the inside of my forearm. Have a nice little (BIG) bruise and some wonderful stitch marks. I guess that is better then last year so I can't complain. Looking forward to summer being here at the end of this week. We will have Gage all of June. Lots of fun to follow I am sure.

WE ARE MARRIED.......

Hello to all from Toni Storm.......Can you believe it? I am a married women. The wedding was great and the reception was wonderful. We had a great time in Vegas. I'll start posting pics soon. Thanks to all of you that came and were a part of the very special day.

I can't imagine how hard of a time we are going to have trying to choose pictures. Our photographer gave us a little sneak peek of some of the pictures. They are so wonderful. She has a true knack for taking pictures that capture the moment. Here are a few of the pictures that we have gotten back (that she has sent me on email)
I wore my favorite para of fat babies. They were the exact same color as my dress but they were close enough.

Well once again

I have forgotten to come over here and post information. Guess I have been too wrapped up into other things ie, wedding, Greg buying a new truck, work, friends, and trying to keep the peace. Today was Easter and we got to spend it in Wichita with Greg's family. It was different to be anywhere but HOME but it was great to get to visit with them and get to know them better. Got a little over 1 month til the wedding. So let the stressing begin. Looking at the calendar, it looks like we have something every weekend until our wedding. So sometime I need to fit in an airbrushed tan so that my dress looks right instead of like I have a t-shirt on under it. Looking forward to seeing everyone and getting to spend the best day of my life with people I love. I'll do better about posting here.

All my thoughts rolled into one

I've had a lot on my mind and haven't been able to sleep at night. When i lay down at night my mind starts going and trying to fix all the problems. So maybe if I can just vent them out they wouldn't bother me so much at night. So here they are......

What if my dress doesn't fit in 3 months.......

If an 8 year old already lies and has a huge attitude what will it be like as a teenager.......

How are we going to get to go on a honeymoon.......

Can I successfully put stuff on ebay and actually sell them.......

How soon will we need to start looking to buy a new house........

If your weight when you get married is your thinnest what will I look like in a few years.......

Where can I cut back on the wedding to not spend as much money......

What do I need to do in order to get new windows on the house.........

How come everything seems to need to be done at one time.........

Why don't parents take the time to teach their children how to act appropriately so I don't have to try to teach them when it's too late.......

How do I get the kids motivated to succeed on their state tests.......

How come the number on the scale is going down but everything I wear feels tight.......

If I think of any more I will come back and add. Those are the things on my mind right now. I hope all of you have a wonderful day.

Registering all done

Greg and I have completed our wedding registeries. We registered at Wal-Mart, JcPenney's, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Target. It was a lot of fun. Occasionally we go on and update and add things to the lists. Sure is exciting.
