Blaketon Joseph Pricer

Blake was conceived with no trial and error similarly to Katie. Since we had had some trouble with conception of Ally our OB suggested to us to start trying in April of 2007 to hopefully be successful by August of 2007. Thus making Ally and the new baby(Blake) 2 yrs apart just like Katie and Ally. So, I stopped taking my Birth Control and the trial and error process begins...so we thought. Then, May 2007 we found out we were pregnant! Quicker then we hoped or expected. A little scary and slightly unplanned...we began our journey to have our 3rd miracle from God. Blake was born January 8th 2008 and Due January 11th. My pregnancy with Blake was very easy and uneventful. well, maybe not so uneventful. I was hospitalized twice(just like I was with Ally, once for dehydration and another time for unknown pains). Shortly after we found out we were going to be blessed with a 3rd child, i had debilitating pains in my lower abdomen and back. I thought I was miscarrying or had an ectopic pregnancy. finally went to the ER, after enduring this all day, to find out they 1)could not find the pregnancy and 2)did not know what was causing the pains. At this point Joe was getting slightly frustrated. Considering I was hospitalized with all 3 pregnancies with 'unknown' pains....I can see where that would be a little unminding at best for a loved one. So I stay over night, was given pain killers and passed a kidney stone the next morning(which is what they think may have caused the pains with katie that led me to the hosp that led to induction) Now this day that I was in the hospital passing a stone was my eldest daughter's, Katie, 3rd Birthday. I felt horrible having to be away from her on such a special day. and to be in the hospital again exactly 3 yrs later...a little strange. The next week I went to my OB and he found the pregnancy sac, apparently it was just too early in to see it before. Then later in the pregnancy I became dehydrated from a stomach bug and thought I was going into early labor. Thankfully for my son's sake I was not. Similarly to my pregnancy with Ally I was in severe pain at the end. Thankfully it was not as bad and I was miserably able to hold on till a few days before my due date. I was scheduled to be induced on January 8th, my doc called the hospital just as the IV had been inserted into my arm to start the drip, he was informing me his mother had passed and he could not make it. As much as I wanted my doc to deliver him since he had delivered me and my 2 girls, I went ahead and had another doc do it. Which I am now grateful for because I not only found a new doc when mine retires, but I did not have an episiotomy. This time I was induced at 2a. water was broke at 6am and I had a healthy little baby boy at 8:20am January 8th 2008. Very quick labor and delivery, only 30 minutes of severe pain before they gave me my epidural. He was 9lbs 14ozs. We were both discharged 1 day later. He is now 6 months old and is so smart, handsome and learning so fast. I am so excited to watch him grow and become a little man.
