She's about to push. We're ready for you baby Jane!

Baby Update #3 (from Chile)

This is Tracy...I just talked to Jillian.  She is feeling great with the epidural and is dilated to an 8.  Looks like she is in the home stretch before starting to push.  She and Andy are watching the Final Four and everyone is happy...including Lucas who is with Grandpa and Grandma Coons.

Update #2

They broke her water about 20 minutes ago.

Contractions are mild, but definitely there. Getting the epidural in about 20 minutes. Dilated to a 4!!!

Baby Jane, update #1

Just heard from Andy. Jillian was just admitted to the hospital to be induced. Her contractions are already 5-7 minutes apart.

They will start her on Pitocin and break her water. So I'm sure things will go pretty fast. Stay tuned as I will update as things progress.

We love you Jilly! Can't wait to meet baby!

-Ashley, Jillian's sister

Lucas Update!

I haven't done a post on Lucas for way too long. He is such a funny little kid and has developed quite the attitude the past few months. I don't know if I am so pregnant that I don't have the energy to discipline or what. Mainly he just likes to point his finger at me and say, " No Mama" and run away. Naughty Shamers that boy!

Here are a few pictures...

While watching a show, Lucas came running up and said, "mama, I'm scared!" and jumped on the couch and held on for dear life. Not the best picture, but I wanted to capture his sweet innocence.


All ready for church. My grandma bought him these shorts and I love how cute he looked today. Also notice the green train. This is Henry from the Thomas shows. We seriously do not go anywhere without Henry. Lucas loves him!


Whenever Andy wears a baseball hat, Lucas has to have one too. On Saturday we went to cousin Owens baseball game and both boys wore their hats. We didn't get to stay as long as we wanted because Lucas didn't quite understand why he didn't get to go play "skee ball".


First time eating golden spoon... He loved it. Like mother, like son :)


How I found Lucas napping this week. On the floor, light sabor (sp?) in hand, too cute.


I love this age. Although difficult at times because he is so independent and defiant, the cute sweet moments make up for the not so sweet ones :)

38 weeks

Today I am 38 weeks. Andy is in Provo for work training and I am praying baby girl stays put until Friday. Then she better come! I had an appointment today and my doctor was very pleased with my progress. I am dilated to a 2, "very thin", and the baby is head down and very low. She said I could go at any moment.... Or be like this for another week.

Luckily for Lucas and I my grandma flew in yesterday to stay with us while Andy is gone. Every time I have a contraction her palms start to sweat because she doesn't want me to go into labor until Andy gets home. :)

I feel pretty good... I am hungry all the time and my hips are sore. Im not sleeping much, but I am "resting". When Andy and I were dating we flew down to California for him to ask my dads permission. I knew that was the purpose of the trip and I also knew my dad said yes. So for the weeks following our trip I would get ready everyday (hair, makeup, cute outfit) just in case Andy proposed. After a week and a half of this, and my hair almost dead from all the flat ironing I told Andy just to make sure I looked cute. This is how I feel now. Every morning that I don't blow dry my hair I think, "if baby girl decides to come the first pictures are going to be so ugly" so I end up doing my hair. Vain? Perhaps. But that's how I feel. I guess once my contractions are somewhat consistent I can run up and flat iron my hair :)

That's all for tonight... I'll keep you posted. Once I go into labor Ashley will update for me... Just like last time :)

Team Turner

When we first moved to Las Vegas 4 years ago I got a job at The Staubach Company. I worked part time in the office and part time nannying Robby and Veronica. Here we are on one of our first days together:

Veronica is so little in this picture! When I think of these two cuties this is how I remember them. Since then I have had Lucas and Baby #2 is on the way, and the Turners have moved to Alabama. We haven't seen each other in over two years and yesterday we got to go to lunch together while they were here for Spring Break.

I cannot believe how big "my" kids are!!! Robby is almost as tall as me! Veronica is no longer a little girl! It was so much fun to see them and go to Golden Spoon--one of our old time favorites. Now we just need to make a trip to Birmingham to see them and go to Chick Fil A... don't you know by now all vacations are dictated by whether or not there is a Chick Fil A?
