The next wonderful trip that we took has a famiy was to the Natural History Musuem here in Dayton. We thought that Jackson might enjoy it but only came to find out there was few things there geared to his age. We managed to have a great time though. The only negative thing that happened was when Jackson was running thru a wooden tunnel that was set at different heights and smacked his head at a full run at one point. Scott wishes he coud have taken a picture of seeing a pregant women jump into this kids tunnel. Here are a couple of pictures from our trip.
The next trip was to the Columbus Zoo. We went with Scott's brother and his family. It was a great time with the only problem being that Jackson was a bit to young in our minds to fully understand what he was looking at. Here are a couple of pictures from our trip.
Okay, I guess it is time to get to what everyone has check in to see. November 2nd, we went into the hospital to start the induction of Madison. After what seemed like hours of labour at 4:29 pm Madison Grace Caplinger was born. She was 8 lbs. and 9 ounces and 20.5 inches long. Thankfully she weighed less than Jackson. This would make you think that this labour would have been easier. That is what I thought to. Even after 2, yes, 2 epidurals the pain was extreme. The first epidural when it was placed it got bent at the end not allowing it to work. Scott made the mistake of giving me his hands to squezze. He changed the brakes on the rear of the van Saturday and cut his hands. I broke open the scabs on his hands. Sorry again for that. The reason for the pain was that she was pressing against my tail bone. The doctor came in and asked if she had time to change and I told her no in a very firm voice. When she was born it looked like she had strawberry blond hair but the longer she has been with us we have noticed that she actually has blond hair with possibly a tinge of strawberry but not much. I guess it is time for us to post the first pictures of the new addition to the Caplinger/Loper/ Franklin Bible Methodist Church family.
Hopefully, we will be able to post a little more regularly. Let's not count on it though.;)
