Burkes story

Well I thought it would be fun to tell everyone about all of my kids in a post and how they came to be a part of our family. We were so excited to find out we were expecting Burke! When we found out we cried because we were so happy. We lived in Logan at the time and life was wonderful! Looking back I think that his pregnancy was the easiest. Even with the horrible morning sickness that I had with him overall his was the easiest. When I was six months along I went into to preterm labor and the doctor almost didn't let me travel to Burley for Christmas but he finally relented and told me as long as I promised to take it easy he would allow me to go home for Christmas. About a month later my blood pressure started to rise and they watched it closely. Six weeks before I actually had Burke Dr. Avery put me on bed rest. I was retaining water and they diagnosed me with preeclampsia. It was kind of scary but we made it through. I was so anxious to have Burke here that I continuously asked the Doctor when he would think about inducing. He always said not anytime soon. Burke was due April 6, 2001 and on March 15th I thought my water broke so I went to the doctors office and when he checked me to see what was going on I passed out. I woke up to Chris and Dr. Avery standing over me looking very worried. My water had not broken but Dr. Avery decided he would induce me on Saturday which ended up being Saint Patricks day. I heard all the jokes about names... Patrick... Lucky... ect... Well at about 6:15 that night I was ready to push and Burke was born at 6:45 pm. He was such a beautiful baby. He was such an easy going baby. He was ok to do whatever. Burke is very proud to be the unique one in our family since everyone else in our family was born in Burley.
