He's here!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post! Well he is here!!!! Meet Dallin Andrew. He came on Friday March 13th. I went into my appointment on thursday the 12th and my blood pressure was WAY too high and my doctor didn't want to take any chances so he told me they needed to induce me and for us to head to the hospital. I think my blood presssure hit the roof when he told me that! I wasn't expecting that nor was I mentally ready to have a baby! So we went to the hospital and they started everything. I wasn't progressing so they decided to let me sleep through the night and continue on in the morning. At about 5 am they started again. I was progressing faster and they finally broke my water. That made everything get going. I was ready for an epidural so they gave me one. Some how they put it in and it made only my whole right side go numb and I could still feel everthing on the left. That was horrible! So she decided to take it out and put in a second one. By this time i've had 3 doses. It finally worked but my whole right side was completely numb! I couldn't feel nor move a thing. With in about 45 min to an hour I went from a 3 to a 10. Thank goodness!!! I didn't want it to last forever. I started pushing at 10:50 and had him at 11:25 am! He weighed 6 lbs 15.5 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long. Everthing went great! We got to bring him home on Saturday afternoon. It has been completely different with our little guy here. Lots of fun and not a whole lot of sleep. Its fun getting to know him and see how much he changes from day to day. I can't wait for the next months and years to come!

Do you ever feel like this???

I do!!!! I swore I would never get to the point in my pregnancy that my pants in front are sagging to my knees and my shirts are getting to short that my belly hangs out! Guess what. I'm at that point and it's driving me crazy!!! And there isn't much I can do about it any more. I only have about 2 weeks left and i'm not spending the money on MORE maternity clothes. They should make special suspenders for pregnant women. I'd buy some if they did (and maybe they do and I just haven't looked hard enough for them). I'll just be glad when I can just wear my normal clothes again!!

2 years ago today!

Yup it's been 2 years!! It has just flown by! So much has happened! We've moved to Winslow, bought our first house, got our wild Roxy dog, are managing the rental business, bought our first car, have great callings in our ward, expecting our first little boy here in about 4 weeks, and have done SO much more!! How blessed we have been in the past 2 years. I see how much we have done and accomplished so far I can only wonder what the next years are going to bring. There is no one else I'd rather spend the rest of forever with than Andrew!
