More Jett

After work Friday we went up to see Hailey and her little baby boy. He is sooo cute. He was busy sleeping and tried to remain that way the whole time we were there. Hailey had gone in to be put on a Pitossin drip Thursday night, to try to get her dialated and effaced. Friday morning the little guy was still just floating and as they increased the Pitossin he continued to stay put. After they had her on the highest dose they give and she had not progressed at ALL, they decided to do a C-section. Almost all of her family has had C-sections due to small pelvic openings, so she may have had to have one anyway. So at 11:24 or so Jett was delivered, almost a week past his due date.

What a little frogger.

Not happy, not happy at all.

Welcome Jett Alexander Hoggett

7 pounds 4 ounces 20 inches long. Will post more later.

Tapered Pants

All sorts of things are going on around our house lately. Rachel has been in a whirlwind of wedding stuff. I have taken easy for the most part but have found that I have been more tired so instead of getting home and getting some scrapbooking done, I am WAY behind, I need a nap. My naps are not what most people consider normal either. If I can't get at least 2 hours it is not even worth laying down. I just feel more tired when I get up. Without an alarm set any given Sunday I will sleep about 4 hours.
I just got back from school. I had to go and try on uniforms for our labs and clinicals. And let me tell you I really strongly dislike tapered pants. Our choice of pants was classic which had nice looking seams down the front with a tapered leg (UGGG) or the relaxed fit which were a little less tapered and a little baggier, which made the taper in them resemble more of a MC Hammer pant. So I decided to go with the classic, more tapered, less MC Hammer pant. Oh what they put us through. I am really thinking about going to good ole Joann's and seeing if they have any material that matches so I can do my own altering of the evil taper. I also learned that there are only 8 students this year as opposed to the 17 last year, so we will only have one lab class. She normally has to break us into two lab groups. I am so glad that I emailed her and requested that I get into the Wed/Thurs group because she decided that would be when we have our lab. She told me don't worry I remembered you. I am so glad that I can continue to serve and attend our Bible study.
Tonight Rachel has the rehearsal and dinner to go to so I think I will just lay low at the house and get some scrapbooking done. Then tomorrow we will both leave early and Rachel will have her hair trimmed and styled and then we will get to the church where she will get ready and I will start taking tons of pictures. I am so happy that Amy wants me to be free to take tons of pictures all day. I really need some practice especially indoors with my big daddy flash. I am so psyched!
Next week the Fetterly's are leaving us so Jimmy can work on his doctorate in Florida, so Sunday there is going to be a farewell shower/party and I will be helping out with that in the afternoon. Then I have about 3 weeks to make the most of my life until I start the registration, orientation and school thing again. I am ready to get this last year over with but I don't want to sacrifice my social life too. I pray I can schedule well and find a balance for my life.

Hailey's Last Maternity

Saturday Hailey stopped by to pick up some movies and was a great sport in allowing me to take some shots of her the day before her due date. Alas she is still pregnant, but is scheduled to go to the hospital tonight to start a pitossin drip and then they will induce her in the morning.

These are all mostly just candids. I did not ask much from a woman who is 9 months pregnant.

Going Away Party

Last Friday we had a going away party for Peter, who is heading to Louisville for seminary and Zach and Molly Stanton who will be going to Houston so he can work on his doctorate. Bob and Rob Molden opened up their house and grilled us burgers. It was a lot of fun.

Sweet Susanna and I.

Rachel and Susanna, it took a few goofy shots to get a cute one.
I told Cala to play around with the icing from the chocolate cake and she did.

Rachel's delightful lipstick from the red icing. Yes it really is her color.

Jacqueline was not expecting this shot. And yes that is her twin sister sitting next to her. I kid you not.

Hot hick Susanna.

Paul and Sarah, how cute are they?

We were so glad that Jon could take off from his grueling work as a server to be social with us. It has been a LONG TIME COMING!

Rachel rocks out. Um we are not related. I state NOT related.

Rob and Michael checking out his families wall of pictures. Let me tell you MANY of them look alike. Rob looks just like his dad, and I am guilty of making that mistake many times. His younger brother looks exactly like his mom's brother. It is kind of crazy.

Susanna looks sad.

Luke, Tim and Ross

Beth and Holly cuddling under the freezing vent.

Here is Bob, who so graciously manned the grill and then dealt with our tomfoolery.

Elizabeth and Trawick discussing something or other.

Nate and Aimee. How cute is she with her dress and flower in her hair. She reminded me of the 40s fashion, I think it was the 40s. Correct me if I am wrong, I am only 24.

Ahh here is Bob and Rob. Now together they don't look identical but if you run into one you might get confused as I often do when we are leaving church.

Playing guitar hero. Zach, Daniel and Paul.

Bob is awesome. We had been looking at the photos down the hall and I was saying how I wanted to see some pictures from the awkward years like 2nd and 3rd grade. So Bob ushered me to his room and gave me Rob's baby book and his school album to peruse through. He was such a cute baby. I Love this family.

Rachel was playing around with the camera and I am impressed. Compositionally this is delightful.

Beth serious about her guitar hero.

Holly beaming.

Zach and Molly we will miss them.

Susanna and I cuddled under the freezing vent. That thing blew directly down on you.

Ben and Rebekah.

Tim

What guys do.

She is a rock star.

And she beat Ben a few times.
