CAVYN JETT NELSON

























Well on September 18th Chris and I went to the doctor and found out that we are going to get induced. So around one o'clock we arrived at the hospital and got settled into our room. Around two o'clock they started to induce me with pitocin. It really wasn't the way I really wanted to go into labor but i was ready to have my baby and not be pregnant anymore. The whole experience was so awesome and something that I just think is the best miracle out there.



There was a ton of people that came to share the day with chris and I. My mom, sister, brother-in-law, cousin, her son, Chris's parents, my brother, sister-in-law, Chris's friends Charlie, Ricky, and Nick, all were there. Now when i was actually in the pushing stages of labor it was just Chris, my mom and of course me in the room. Cavyn was born on September 19th at 2.24am. I did end up getting an epidural, which I may say was a life saver and I recommend them to everything. hahaha.



anyways my son is perfect to me and I can't believe how much I love him. You can try to imagine how much you will love your kids but when they are actually here it is more then you could ever imagine. He is funny, handsome, and doesn't cry to much, he is also a great sleeper. here are a couple of pictures of him when he is a few days old.

Full Moon Party

Tonight I went to a full moon party which one of my neighbors was throwing. It was just a bunch of people from around the neighborhood and some of their friends. Jason (neighbor who held the party) is in a band and knows a lot of people in bands apparently. So they set up stuff and there were different bands playing. It was really fun and neat. I got to meet some neighbors which was nice because right now Chris and I only know the Booths who live right up from us. We hang out with them nearly every night. I met a lot of people which was nice but I sat for a while and talked to Jason's wife for a while about non-profit organizations and adoptions. It was really neat to hear all of her stories and things she knew about this and I could relate giving her stories about International Medical Relief which was a non-profit organization that i used to be involved with the family who ran and owned it as their nanny. I know a lot about the organization because of working for them and am trying to take a trip in a couple years with them. Anyways
Talking with her really made me realize that there is so much more that i could be doing and so much that other people could do that don't I really want to get more involved in non-profit organizations and charities for children in different countries and in the U.S. If anyone has an ideas of good organizations tell me....
