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!

The Little Painted Desert

So on saturday Andrew wanted to go "Site Seeing"...... In Winslow..... Where is there to go site seeing in Winslow?? I had no clue where to take him that would be fun that we haven't already been. So he asked me about the Little Painted Desert that he had driven by on his way to the rez one day. It sounded fun and we didn't have to drive forever to get there. So we went! I haven't been since I was little! Probably for a field trip in elementary school. It was SO neat! SO amazing that there is something that beautiful so close to Winslow. After taking pictures we headed down the road alittle ways more just for a fun drive. I guess I have never realized how pretty this area really is. I couldn't stop taking pictures. What a fun day we had. Now we have to hit all the other places that I have completely forgotten about that are so neat and fun to go see. If you haven't ever been to see the Little Painted Desert I would definitely recommend going! Now I want to see the bigger Painted Desert.

30 weeks down... 10 to go!!!!

Oh how I don't like taking pictures of me! Andrew took this one for me a few days ago and I don't know how many I took before I just gave up and said NEVERMIND! I told a few people that I haven't seen in a while that I would post one so I guess I will. I really don't like how I look right now but oh well.... here in about 8 weeks i'll be looking back and thinking "oh I didn't look too bad!" So here is a lovely picture of me... the best one I could find out of the many we took.

Family Christmas Picture

We had our ward Christmas party a week or so ago and they took family pictures at it. I really like how ours turned out. I tried to get Andrew to go get family pictures taken before I got pregnant but that was like trying to pull teeth! So we haven't had nice pictures taken since our wedding..... 2 years ago! For some reason he hates getting them done so I MADE him take this one with me. He told me "only ONE! We aren't going to look and see if you like it or not and keep taking them" so i told him "then lets take a good one and we won't have to!" Well it turned out pretty good and we didn't have to take several. So hopefully some day when the baby is here I can drag him to go get them done! Hope everyone has a great Christmas!!!!

Its a ........

BOY!!! We went to the doctor yesterday and found out that "it" is a "HE"!!!!! We are so excited to finally know. Everything is going great. The ultrasound was fun to see. She showed his profile and we could see his little lips moving. Oh it made it so real that there really is a baby in there! Then she showed the bottom of his feet and we could see all 10 cute itty bitty toes. I told Andrew that I wanted to get an ultrasound machine (I don't know what its called) so that we could be able to see him when ever we want. Oh that would be fun! Well thats all my exciting news!
