We're Home!!!!

After the wonderful(insert sarcastic tone here) 2 days spent at the glorious and super lush (uhum, ghetto) Doctor's Hospital we are in the comforts of our own home and brother T could not be any happier!



However our homecoming was not complete withouth some sort of drama! Upon our arrival home there was a full house, really too full, my parents, Daddy C's parents and grandmother were all here so it was a bit cramped and hectic too! Then to find out that someone, who shall remain nameless, had used paper towels and flushed them down the toilet. So not only are all of these people in my house and all of them are older than middle aged and apparently have pea sized bladders, but now only one toilet is working and that happens to be the one on MY bedroom. My father, bless his heart, tried for hours before we came home and even went and bought a new plnger to try to clear the toilet lines. So to say the least upon my arrival I was beyond irritated so off to walmart I went to buy a super duper co2 plunger that did just the trick.

Now go, go everyone, the toilet is fixed and you all have put your hands all over the baby now get out and let me snuggle with my boys!

Oh look how cute C was on his way home...



Oh yes and the very first picture in this post is how C felt about a cramped house and a clogged toilet on his 2nd day of life!

What a Way to ring in the New Year!

Our amazingly fantastic New Year's edition could not be any more perfect......




5:00 a.m. came really early that January 15th morning, that is when we had to be at the hospital for my induction. After a completely incompetent nurse that could not figure out the monitor and blew my vein trying to get an iv in, then did not even change the sheet that had a ton of blood on it from this process, things finally got started. I got hooked up to the monitors and the pitocin started. About 7:30 I started to feel the contractions pretty good, I got my epidural around 10:00, oh how I love the epidural, it is amazing and I love it, did I say I loved it?

Here I am pre-epidural, but still feeling Ok....



After my epidural and having my water broken the family came in for a quick visit, before I learned it was time to push...I went from a 4 to a 10 in about 45 minutes..here is T visiting me one last time as my only child.....



After about 30 minutes of glorious, fantastic and completely pain free ( I AM TOTALLY LYING) pushing our whole world was complete. C .A. Gleaton was born at 1:37 p.m. on January 15, 2009. He weighed 7lbs 2 ounces and was 20 inches long..perfection!

His brother got to meet him, here is C and T for the very first time...



More later...back to my boys!

An introduction to me......

• Cortney is my name
• I am 26 years old, well on Wed I will be!
• I am the wife to an American Hero named Chad
• I am the mother to an amazing 3 year old named Tucker
• I am currently incubating our second son whom we will call Chase
• We just moved from Savannah, GA to Columbus, GA and I miss Savannah so!
• I have been working on my Bachelor's Degree for 8 years now and will finally be finished in January....Praise the Lord!!
• I have an amazing mother and father and 3 brothers..I love my brothers most of the time!

I am just a simple girl that is making it in this crazy world! I love my family and friends and live for my son and husband. My husband and I have been married for 4 1/2 years and are highschool sweethearts. He has been in the Army for a little over 4 years, after numerous comabt deployments, too many schools and so many seperations, my husband decided it was time to take the back seat and let someone else drive for a while. So, we moved away from our family and friends to come to Columbus, GA so he could take a non-deployable instructor position. It has been a great move for our family, but we miss Savannah so much!

That is me in a nutshell!
