Markum happenings

Well things are finally getting back to normal here. The kids are great. Connor loves his sister. But he does have his good days and bad. He loves going to the park and the pool. He loves to be outside but it has been so hot here lately that he probably doesn't get enough time outside. Ragen is great, she had a doctors app. today and she weighs 9.7. She is a good baby. She usually only gets up once during the night and she has actually slept through the night twice. She really only cries when she is hungry. She loves to cuddle. We love our two little ones so much and are so happy they are in our family.

Ragen Ilene Markum

Thursday June, 7 I went into to be induced that night. They placed a tablet in my cervix and then I didn't get started with pitocin till 10 the next morning. They broke my water around noon and I was only 4 then. I had to wait for the epidural till about 2. They finished with the epidural probably around 2:20 or so and checked me and I was a 6. Craig thinking that it might take a little while decided to go get lunch. Not even ten min. later I was feeling so much pressure. They decided to check me again and I was ready to go. So I call Craig and twenty min. later Ragen was born at 2:52 weighting in at 8lbs 5oz and 21in long. Connor loves his little sister. He has to take baths with her. He is always asking where she is and if she is ok. Craig and I feel so blessed to have her in our family. One week old
