yet again

So this is pretty much all that Jaydin does besides eating

and pooping.  He is awake sometimes, but it is

not very often, he takes after Jason in that respect :)
She truly does love him, even if she doesn't 

always act like it (she is kissing his nose)
Paige just being Paige, needing a picture taken

of herself too :)
A proud papa... Jaydin is actually wearing a sleeper

that i think Jay wore when he was a baby.

So i managed to get discharged from the hospital on Thursday the 8th at like 8 o'clock in the evening.  I was sent home with some really strong antibiotics and some pain medication and told that if i got a fever over 100.5 to call and go back to the ER for observation.  Well Jasons mother was at our house with Jaydin when we got home that night (Paige was with my mom and being brought home Friday) so i finally got to see him after 2 days.  Friday i got to take care of them all day and even got out to run a few errands with Jasons mom.  Later that night i had a fever of 99.5, but nothing serious enough to go back in.

Well, on Saturday night we went to Jasons parents for dinner and after we ate i felt serious cold and had the chills so i sat under a few blanckets and fell asleep (on Thursday night i could not sleep because of all the little naps i got at the hospital so i maybe got 2 hours of sleep that night and Friday night Jaydin only let me get about 4 hours, so needless to say i was tired).  When i woke up i had a fever of 102 and had to call in and they made me go to the ER, so yea...

I AM IN THE HOSPITAL AGAIN!!

apparantly the antibiotics they gave me didnt cover a broad enough spectrum of bacteria killing or whatever so now i am on a different med and have to stay here for 48 hours fever free (and i have been since 4 am on Sunday morning).  So we are hoping to be back to a normal family life with all of our children by Tuesday afternoon (well the dog wont be there until Thursday :)).  Lets just hope this drug works a little better than the last ones did.

Here is a little comparison for you... here is 

Jaydin a day after we got home and...

Here is what Paige looked like a few days

after we were home.  Have fun deciding who

they each look like and what their differences

and similarities are :)

i am still in the hospital by the way, but we are

trying our hardest to convince the doctors to let

me go home later tonight instead of having to

stay until tomorrow morning. Cross your 

fingers for us :_

not the best day

so it has not been the best day... late last night i got a 

fever of 104 and had to go the the ER.  I have got a

bladder infection along with an infection in my uterus

so i have to stay in the hospital for at least 24 hours 

fever free and they are pumping me full of antibiotics

as i type... my mom has got the baby (she prolly does

not miss that part of her life, even though Jaydin

is a pretty good baby so far) and Paige is with the in-laws

again and the dog is still with the grand parents...

just thought i would keep everyone updated and

hopefully i will be able to get out of here soon :)

Although i am catching up on a little lost sleep due

to the late night feedings.

Here is a proud daddy to a new baby boy... "he is so cool!"

along with an excited big sister with a new kitty.

They gave him a bath in the delivery room

and he liked it when they washed and combed

his hair.

 Grandpa Kuiper who is proud of his 7th grandchild, 

especially because he is only the 2nd boy in a 

big lot of girls :)

Grandma Kuiper excited about yet another grand-

child along with paige and her kitty *a gift from

Jaydin to her*

Grandpa and Grandma Kuiper

his first bath, paige got to watch and she thought

it was cool, but when asked if she wanted to

help give him a bath she said, "No, he is gross!"

Here are some pictures of Jason's family when they came to visit.  

Here is his step dad Jim with paige of course.  They had to bring 

Jason food because he hadn't eaten since 7 in the morning and it was 

going on 8 at night by the time they got up there... He was

 REALLY crabby until he got that food, so

a personal thanks to them and mc donalds :)

He was really alert for his Aunt Kalee, she even got his to 

take a pacifier.

Aunt Sarah did not make it up to the hospital to visit because

 she had to work, but i am sure we will get a picture of her on 

here soon... probably fighting with her mother over who gets 

to hold him.  They used to fight over paige,  one would be

 holding her butt and the other under her arms debating whos 

turn it was to hold her...  i can't see that changing

 with him, he is just too cute to pass up.

Here he is with his Aunt Kristi, it was a shock that she 

held him as long as she did with jasons mom in the 

room... but there are no pictures to prove that she 

likes to hog him a little more than the rest of us :)  

that is ok though, it is what Grandmas are for.

Here he is with his youngest aunt and uncle 

(Jenni and David) and of course his big sister Paige 

who is still a little unsure about how to handle 

his arrival.  We thought with her being four that she 

would be all excited, but come to find out she is 

haveing a little  problem dealing with the lack

 of attention from her mother... oh

well, maybe this will teach her a little patience :) 

HE'S FINALLY HERE!!

Here he is... Jaydin Ryan Taylor!  he was born at St. Mary's

at 5:49 PM January 1,2009

height of 21.5" and weight 8lbs. 5 oz.

He wanted to come out looking at the world, so 

he had to be delivered by c-section.

Paige was excited to see her little brother, she even

got to see his first bath, and she couldn't help but

let us know repeatedly that he has a pee pee :)

the first night was not too bad, he slept a lot and had

to be woken up to eat.  i on the other had did not have

the greatest sleep schedule, and the anesthetics made me

very very itchy so it was hard to stay sleeping.

Mom came and helped me out because Jason had to go to a 

mandatory work meeting and fix our Blazer, it was a good thing

too because it took a lot for me to get out of bed.

the pain is a little worse, but at least i can get up and 

move around tonight... as you can see he is a cute little 

man :) hope you all enjoyed these pix, i will get more soon

from mom and dads camera of his bath and what not.
