Was born June 24th at 3:10 in the morning. He was 8.5 lbs and 21 1/2 in and has the cutest roundest face and not to mention a head full of hair. I along with almost everyone thinks he looks a lot like his dad. We are so happy to finally have him here and he has been the best baby ever. I can't believe he will be two weeks old tomorrow time sure does fly. I can't stop looking at him and being amazed at how lucky I am. Thanks to everyone for all their support and friendship and all the gifts and dinner that everyone keeps bringing we couldn't do it without you!
Where does time go? I haven't posted for over a month and it seems like I just posted. The last month has really flown by -- heres what we have been up to. We got to watch Kailyn show her pig and she did so good and looked so cute! I didn't get a good picture with her looking but it looks like she stayed busy. I think the family had fun watching her and all we could think of is how much easier it is to show a pig than a calf. I think next year she better show one of grandpas calfs and make him proud!
Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE LAGOON! But I find it not so fun to love when Im 9 months pregnant. The Wades had a little vacation up in Salt Lake the first weekend in June. We attended a Bees game which was probably the longest game I've ever been too going into the 12th inning with the Bees ending up with the win--go BEES! There was a fireworks show afterwards that was really good way better than Delta or Fillmores ever thought of being. But as I watched the fireworks I thought really why do people think this is so neat? Maybe I need an attitude adjustment or maybe I was just really tired. The next day we woke up and went to Lagoon! Woo-HOO! Normally Im acting like a child and can't wait to jump on the red roller coaster first -- well not this time! Greg isn't much of a ride lover so he rode I think maybe 3 rides. The only ride I got on was the train -- we went to see all the stinky animals and empty cages that they have for you to see! I think the rest of the family had a pretty good time especially the kids! The next day we went to the air show. It was pretty neat to see the airplanes that were used in wars and what not -- but all the people...are you kidding me? Where did they come from did they not have somewhere else to be! It was a fun little vacation but when your packing an extra 50 lbs I guess I wasn't the most excited person. Thanks to Gregs family for planning a little get away. While we were in Salt Lake Megan turned 8 -- while we were at Texas Roadhouse she jumped on a saddle and got sung too -- Happy Birthday Meg!
And for all of you that are wondering my due date is not till the 28th! I thought for sure I would have it before the 15th but it doesn't look like thats going to happen. I feel like I have done little things all along to help get him here faster like bouncing around while cutting and raking hay. Obviously hes not ready to be here but hopefully soon. I have gained so much weight its scary and Im starting to feel more and more worthless as I can't bend down or running out of breath if I try to put socks on! Not to mention having like 3 things to wear! Im starting to get even more nervous yet Im so excited at the same time. Still no name has been picked out for the little guy we have a few but are still very undecisive (Ok let me be honest...Greg doesn't say much except yes he likes it or no he doesn't. Then when people ask him what the name is he says we don't know but it will be something uncommon). I want to say thanks for all the gifts everyone has given us we are so prepared now because of them. Thanks to everyone for being so supportive and so excited for us. We are getting way excited too -- everyday Greg says lets get this kid (yes thats what he refers it to) here...and everyday I know that Im getting that much closer for this life changing event to take place.
Might I add that this good looking guy I know GREG learned to bale hay last week and well even though he had no breakdowns or problems and didn't have alot to do, he asked afterwards was that a mistake for me learning to bale...and I said no why would it be a mistake? Silly me...now he will get to do it! Ha ha! I couldn't be more greatful for a man who puts up with my family especially my dad and never complains. I love that Greg loves spending time on the farm and helping out. I now know why us girls all got married...so our husbands could be the ones who were out with dad and not us! Thanks for everything you guys do -- I know I don't thank you enough:)
I just wanted to say Happy Mothers Day to the greatest mom ever! I hope she had a good day and that she knows how much I love and appreciate her, she really is my best friend. I have two amazing sisters who are great moms as well and I have learned different things from all of them and hope that when this baby comes I can take what I have learned from my 3 great examples and be a good mom myself.
We had the whole family came to our house which was nice since its half way for all of them and we finally have a place that we can all fit in even though the temperature was never right! We had a bbq and then Kristi had brought different kinds of balls to play with outside we had a good time. Well I did and hope they did too! We didn't take any pictures even though we should of, we had an entertainment show put on by the acrobat Danny himself -- where are cameras when we need em!
So I haven't updated by blog in quite sometime so I thought I would catch up. Well March went by super fast Brynne turned six and we had a little party for her at the roller skating ring. Happy Birthday Brynners! Before we knew it April had come and we were moving out of our little house into the house right next door which isn't a ton better but it has more room which is nice and I have to say that I actually have a bathroom and counter to put my straightner on and not have to use the washing machine as my counter. I also have a seperate laundry room and well no more orange carpet or pink walls! I have to say that everyday I drive past my little old house and get a little sad I think its so cute!! And well thats where my firsts were thats the house we went to after we got married thats where I called home for the last 1 1/2 years, and although people always wondered how we could live there...I did love it and it was home for me. Thanks to Greg's aunt for letting us live there. We are starting to get the hang of living in this other house and although it doesn't quite feel like home its getting there. We have lived here for about a month and its growing on both of us.
Easter was here we got to go do Quality Days which is my favorite thing about Easter time because of the hot dogs although I do have to say this year they didn't taste the same! We went out to the sand dunes with my family and had a good time. I wanted so badly to roll down the sandhill but stopped myself and let Kristi enjoy herself while she tumbled her way down!Greg thought he was pretty neat doing tricks
I think my dad even enjoyed himself!!
AND IF ANYONE CALLS ME CRAZY.....THEY DON'T KNOW THIS ONE!
My parents bought us a really nice bedroom set and we are just loving it. Greg even said how he had never had anything this nice before. Thanks mom and dad for spoiling us!
Brittyn turned one on April 27th!! She is growing up so fast I can't believe it. We tried having a bbq at the park but got a little rained out so we went to Kristis for cake and presents.
So today was a sad day for me...Our dog Jager died. Greg called me first thing this morning to see if I had seen the dog when I left for work. I told him I hadn't and he said hmm...well its missing. Not thinking much of it until 5 hours later when he called to tell me he seen it on the side of the freeway dead, I bawled. Yes I cried over our dog! I loved this dog. When me and Greg first got married I picked up some random dog from random rodeo thing and it was the worst dog ever well Greg ran over it and although I felt bad I didn't care and I told Greg we are not replacing it....Well because he listens so well a couple weeks later I come home to a new puppy and well he has been the best dog ever! Greg was starting to get frustrated with him and Sox (Greg's other dog) cause they kept running off. Well us living not far from the freeway it was an easy run away for them I guess...I just can't figure out why he had to get hit. I kept telling Greg I didn't think it was him and that he would be home when I got home from work. If Greg left them while he was at work the dogs were always so excited to greet me when I got home...as you guessed he wasn't here today. Well Greg went and got him from the side of the freeway and we buried him here in the back yard. I sure will miss our Jager Meister. Don't listen to the video its embarrassing but I just did it the other day and sent it to Greg cause I felt bad that the dogs had been alone all day. Who loves animals this much...I never knew I did!
As for me and the alien growing inside of me (ok I know its not an alien but I have to tell you that sometimes thats what it feels like) Im now 31 weeks, huge and loving it, and the Dr. even says everything is looking good. We still don't have a name picked out so for all those who think we do Im telling you the truth WE REALLY DON'T. Any suggestions would be nice!
As for people being pregnant...I think I need to congratulate a few of you. First congratulations to my older sister Wendi she is due the first part of October and to Amanda and Teresa. I am so happy for all of you and can't wait that my little guy will have friends all over the place!
After finding out I was pregnant I can't tell you that I was totally excited or more in shock thinking ok was this the right decision for us? I still can tell you that Im super scared and am wondering what in the world are we getting ourselves into.
Our big ultrasound was today at 2:00 here in Fillmore and I can't tell you how nervous and stressed out I was all day. My head was pounding not even my caffeine would settle it and I didn't realize it was stress until the lady I worked with told me thats probably what it was from....I left work and met Greg and his mom out at the hospital where I got right in which was nice because I hate waiting....still nervous thinking he might tell me something was wrong with the baby he didn't so that was nice. He pointed out different things like the heart, the brain, the feet, the arms....and then he pointed out the TURTLE. Yes I said the turtle, he asked us if we seen the turtle looking thing right there and we said yes and he said you know what the means..we both said no -- he said well that means your having a baby BOY! yes I said BOY and yes he referred it to a TURTLE.
Having only girls in my family I have to tell you I was set on having another one making this the 6th and had convinced Greg it was a girl as well. I have to admit that I have cried on and off all day not knowing what in the world I am going to do with a TURTLE, I think tonight I will probably have nightmares about TURTLES. Seriously who refers it to that!
But as for the morale of the story, the Dr. said I have a 100% healthy baby boy growing inside and when it comes down to it thats all that matters! Wish me luck, I will need it!
I just know how much everyone has missed reading my blog..ha ha, Just teasing! but my sisters have been wondering if Im ever going to post anything again and after my incident of me loosing all my friends and the thought of starting over I really didn't know if I could forgive the blogging industry and come back but as you can see I did.
Not only was December a busy month with getting ready for Christmas I was busy with birthday parties as well. I need to say late Happy Birthdays to Sandy, Kailyn, Mason, Peyton, and most recent here in January, Morgyn. I got to see each one of these guys on their birthdays but I just want them to know that I hope they had a good day and that they know how much I love each one of them.
We had a good christmas. Christmas Eve was spent at Kristi and Danny's then we spent the night at my parents and all of Christmas there with my whole family...and even though on Christmas day I ended up hitch hiking (don't ask!)...all in all it was a good day! Thanks to everyone for all their wonderful presents and to my parents for giving us our wii! We didn't know nights alone could be so entertaining! New Years was spent at the good old Delta paladium where I won $30 and yes I was really happy!
I think this catches up on the last month now to my friends that haven't posted forever...now its your turn!
So I thought I would change my layout and well it deleted all my friends...does anyone know how I can get them back or do I have to just go and re-save them all again? Any advice would be great!
