I'm FINANLLY adding some text to this post!!
So we knew Wednesday was the day!! I was to call L&D between 6-6:30 am to see when they could take me. With Hunter they were ready fro us at 7 am, but we were actually hoping they would want us to wait a little while. Jesse's department was short staffed that day, he went at 6 am but he needed to be there for part of the day if possible. Well L&D was swamped so they told me to call back in a few hours if I hadn't heard from them, so that was good and I went back to sleep. I called around 10:30 am and talked to the charge nurse, and she said she was just getting ready to call me to come in and Dr. Noorda sent a patient over, so she said she was planning on me about noon if nothing crazy happened and she'd plan on calling me at 11:30 am if that was the plan. I finished getting ready, got the rest of the stuff in the car, and played with Bunts a little and then we head in to Logan. I had a couple errands to do, so left a little early. I was hungry and it was lunch time, so we ran through McD's drive thru and got a little bite to eat. I was on my way to my mom's when I got the call at 11:30 on the dot....they were ready for us!!!! Lesley watched Hunter that afternoon, since my mom had pre-school and Carol was on her way home from St. George, and Les was at my mom's picking up Kirsten from pre-school. So Hunter just went home with Les and I headed to the hospital and Jess met me there!! I just bawled when I had to drop Hunter off, I was so emotional!! I was SOOOO excited to get this little guy here, but I was sad to leave my baby and my labor and delivery with Hunter was rough, so I honestly wasn't very excited to check in because I was anticipating the worst. Jess met me at the hospital and we got checked in about 12:15 pm. Dr. Noorda came in at 1 pm and checked me, I was dialated to a 2 1/2 and was 80% effaced, so he broke my water. I'm GBS positive so I have to get antibiotics prefereably 4 hours before I deliver, the nurse started PCN at about 12:45 pm. My nurse was wonderful, they all were, but my 1st nurse actually ended up being a niece of a guy Jesse works with (small world!). They waited for an hour before starting my pitocin to see if I would start into a regular labor pattern on my own, but I didn't. At 2 pm I was still a 2 1/2 so they started my pitocin. Around 3 or 4, my contractions were pretty strong and I was about ready for my epidural, I had the nurse give me some fentanyl for the pain until I could get my epidural. I had never had it and she warned that it works but it makes you feel like you're in outer space, she WASN'T lying!! The pain was gone, but I felt like I was floating. I called my mom on the phone and she said I sounded pretty drugged up!! I don't know how people like that feeling all the time. It was nice at first because I wasn't in pain, but it took almost 2 hourse before I felt normal and in control of myself again. I got my epidural around 5, I think (it all ran together). They checked me about 6 and I was a 5ish, theh nurse told me that it takes the longest to dilate from 1-5, and 6-10 goes pretty fast! My parents came up a little after 6 and brought Jess some dinner and brought Bunts up to see us!! I was missing him so much!! He really didn't want anything to do with me though, he just kep staring at all the equipment and mom laying in bed!! The new nurse came on at 7 pm and checked me about 7:10 pm. I was dilated to a 10 and competely effaced!! So, we were ready to have a baby!!!! I started pushing at 7:30 pm and Max Jesse Gibbs was born at 7:45 pm!! He weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 20 inches long!! He did have the cord around his neckx1 so they had to stimulate quite a bit but he did just fine!!! Jess got to cut the cord, which he didn't with Hunter and I was able to have this new little boy right up on my chest after he was born, which I didn't get to do that with Hunter because he had A LOT of meconium, so that was both different and fun!! I did get sick and throw up after I delivered, but felt better after a bit. I was able to feed him and he latched right on. Then our families came in to see him!!
First pictures!
Grandma Carol and Grandma Jones
Grant watching Hunter!! He wasn't quite sure what to think of everthing and didn't want to give me a hug or anything, but he sure liked playing in the blinds! Apparently my mom taught him how to open and close them while they were in the waiting room, so he was very entertained!!
Baby brother brought a present for Hunter and Hunter was pretty excited about that!! He sat right down to open it!! He got a baby animal book and a Mickey Mouse movie or "Mity mouse" as Hunter would say! I wasn't sure if I should get a little something for him, but I'm so glad
I did!! Hunter loved it and was so excited to get something for him!!
And here's our first family picture of our now family of four!!! Isn't that crazy!!!!
Well they got us moved up to our room in Mother Baby and this little boy ate some more. He nursed for like 20 minutes on each side in L&D and then another 20 minutes on each side upstairs. Here he is getting assessed by the nurse.
And here's his first bath!! I never got to see Hunter's first bath, but they bathed him right on the foot of my bed, so that was fun!!
He didn't love the bath so much, but he LOVED getting his hair washed (they usually do)!!
Here's Dad washing his hair
Here's our cute little Max, Saturday afternoon. He's just 3 days old and pulling a sad face!
Here's Hunter being silly!! He was getting close to Max and actually acting a little interested, so I told Jess to grab the camera and Hunter darted away from the baby to avoid any pictures!! He's definitely his father's child!
Just another cute one!
Max and Grandma Jones
Saturday night my parent's came over and Hunter finally agreed to be in a picture with Max, but that was it, he didn't want to kiss him or anything else yet! And of course there's basketball in the background since it's the playoffs and all, it seems like that's all we watch but Hunter's in heaven with "bask-ball" on all the time!
So sweet!
Max and Hunter with Grandpa and Grandma Jones
Later saturday evening, Hunter finally decided he wanted to check out this baby!
He's thinking about giving him a kiss!!
And HE DID!!!! Hunter's such a good big brother!!
Max and Dad later that night!!!!
Sunday morning Hunter got even more brave and wanted to hold Max!!!
Aren't they cute!!! I sure think so!!!
We had to take Max to the hospital lab Sunday morning to have his bilirubin level checked. In the hospital it was 9.4 which is in the low-intermediate risk zone. Sunday it was 12.6 which is still in the low-intermediate risk zone so he didn't need to be started on lights and he had a Dr. appointment the next day so they were gonna check him again. So here's a comparison picture of Max and Hunter. I took this picture of Max on Sunday afternoon because he was in this outfit and I knew I had one of Hunter in the same outfit. They are both 4 days old in these pictures. So you can decide if you think they look alike. They are definitely brothers, but I don't think they look a ton alike, Max is on the left and Hunter is on the right. 
This was supposed to be of the three of us, but Dad mostly just got Hunter and I and some weird guy on TV.
One proud Papa with his two boys!!
Hunter decided he wanted to try out the baby's seat, so I threw in the bottle just for fun! Tyson even carried him around in the carrier!! We actually had a very busy Sunday after taking Max to the lab in the morning and then we went to Jess's parent's and my parent's for dinner. It was so nice to get out and see our families, but I was pooped after all that running around!
And Max being reverent in Grandma Carol's arms!! Isn't that sweet, he folded his very own arms!! 
Mom and Max getting ready to go home!!! Now this poor little boy didn't have a name until we left the hospital and then we changed it the night we got home!! We were deciding between Max and Holden and then Jesse threw Tanner into the mix. But we did NOT want to leave the hospital without a name on his birth certificate papers. We sat in our room for a good 20-30 minutes with him buckled in the carseat, ready to go, but we couldn't decide on a name. We eliminated Holden, because we didn't think he looked like a Holden. So it was between Tanner Max and Max Jesse. I finally aseked the babe. I told him to smile if he wanted to be Max and he didn't do anything then I told him to smile if he wanted to be Tanner and he gave me a big half sided grin, so Tanner it was!! We wrote Tanner Max Gibbs on his birth certificate paper and we were on our way home at about 5:15 pm. On the way home, Jesse looked at me and said "I don't know, I kind of like Max Jesse." Well Friday night we officially decided his name would be Max Jesse Gibbs!!! I felt so bad the whole time we were in the hospital, because everyone kept asking what his name was but we just didn't know!!
