I don't know if she liked it very much. :)

No Soup for You!

The Seinfeld Tour bus was at ASU yesterday and Jeff along with his brother and sister in-law went to go check it out. I was at home with the baby haha. I'm glad he was able to go he is still talking about how fun it was. I wanted to go so bad and really debated taking the baby out. Don't worry I didn't. 

Jeff got to sit with members of the staff! From left to right: Kramer, Elaine, Jeff, Jerry, and George. They are a lot bigger in person. They seem so small on TV.

He did get an autograph and picture with the famous Soup Nazi. Now he is for real. No soup for you! The bus was full of memorabilia from the greatest episodes ever filmed, including the puffy shirt, the tweety pez dispenser, the gortex jacket, fucilli Jerry, and much much more. They served "non-fat" frozen yogurt and black-and-white cookies too. It was a fun time for all.

Liberty Mae

Liberty Mae made her grand entrance into this world on Weds the 17th. Labor was lets just say not what I expected. No one can prepare you for the work and feelings that come with it. It was a long night but at 8:24 am Liberty came into our world and made that whole night totally worth it. (Thank you Lindsey for posting her birth announcement on her for me) It was a long but wonderful process and we have never been happier. She is so cute!!!!!

Liberty is grandchild number 3 on my side and number 23 on Jeff's. Here she is with Kallie and Preston. They love her! Kallie is so cute every time she holds her she giggles and just looks at her. They are all going to be the best of friends :)
My mom was amazing and was with me the whole time during labor. I love this picture, I could not of gotten Liberty here without my mom and Jeff. What a team we were!
We are so blessed with wonderful family. Jeff's parents were troopers and stayed all night waiting for Liberty to arrive. She is very lucky to have so many wonderful grandparents.

Liberty Mae Williamson

Born Sept 17th at 8:24am

7lbs 4oz

20 inches

Mom and baby are doing great.

Thursday the 11th of September I had a Dr. appointment, I had been dilated to 2 and 90% effaced for two weeks. My Dr. (Dr. Lindstrom) stripped my membranes and said if you don't go into labor by Monday give me a call and I will induce you. After a long weekend of walking and doing everything to start labor nothing happened! So Monday morning I called and was scheduled to be induced the next day Tuesday at 12pm. I was so scared but ready for the baby to come, plus that was Jeff's day off and my mom got out of school at 1pm so I knew she would be able to be there too. It took us a while to get into our room but at 2pm they started my Labor 2 hours later I was able to walk around to keep it going. I only walked around for 45 min, and was in so much pain my vision started to blur. I freaked out and we walked back to my room they checked me and I was a 4. So they started my IV for my strep B and and also so I could get an epidural. After my epidural things slowed way down! Plus my water was not breaking! Dr. Lindstrom wouldn't come break my water until I had both does of the Meds for the strep B. After a very long night of waiting for my water to break, at about 3am a nurse came to check me to see if Liberty had turned. She was face up and was giving me terrible back labor plus it would be harder to push her out this way. So they moved in all different positions to try to get her to turn over. No luck but my water did break while she was checking me. After that I went to complete in about an hour. I had the best nurse ever all night we all loved her, her name was Kris. And after 20 min of pushing her shift was over and had to leave I was so sad. After 2 1/2 hours of pushing Liberty Mae finally came out with a little scowl on her face. It was too cute. I was so tired I could barley look at her when she came out I felt like I was gone! I couldn't keep my eye's open! That was hard work but totally worth it. The hospital stay was long and terrible and we were glad to come home. Our favorite nurse Kris even found us and came to see little Liberty I thought that was very nice of her.

Raccoon Tails

(This is for you Melissa) :)
So this is Raccoon Tails, that's what the Williamson's call them we called them Chicken Squares but no matter what you call them they are dang good! We just got done eating them and look how many we have left plus another pan in the oven so if you want some come on over haha. Melody I hope its ok but I'm taking the reciepe from your blog :)




Raccoon Tails
Filling:
2 boxes of cream cheese
1 can of green chiles
lemon pepper
1/4c. butter
mix and then add chicken (4-6 chicken breasts cooked and shredded)
Put about a TBSP of filling on crescent roll and roll up. Dip in melted butter and then into seasoned bread crumbs (I also add the lemon pepper to the bread crumbs). Place on a sheet pan and cook for 20-30 min at 350. You will need 3-4 cans of crescent rolls although this recipe can be adjusted for smaller amounts (They make great leftovers). We serve over rice with white gravy.

2 weeks and yes I'm counting

We are down to only 2 weeks left! I'm so excited I pray every night that I go into labor haha. I'm trying not to get too excited tho cause this is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life! And lets hope I don't go past 2 weeks!
Well I think we are ready as we will ever be, I'm scared out of mind every time I think about the actual labor part and going to hospital and when to go to the hospital but at the same time I'm so ready to see what this little baby looks like!
The room is ready, everything is washed and I even packed my "bag" tonight. So now we just sit and wait. (or walk and swim like crazy to get this labor going!) Any suggestion of self induced labor is appreciated although I know it wont happen til she is ready. I'm totally ok with that too! I think I'm most excited for my swelling to go down. I told Jeff the other night that I didn't care if I came home with a belly as big as when I went to the hospital as long as my swelling was down. Its pretty much out of control these days. My last day of work is on Tuesday, I'm looking forward to enjoying those days of freedom for the last time. I plan on staying in bed and sleeping as much as possible and do fun little baby crafts all day! I will keep everyone posted as we trek through these last few weeks!
