Homeless!!!

Well we are still alive just very very crazy right now!!! WE ARE OFFICIALLY HOMELESS! Yes its true! But not for long!  We are building a house in Layton.  The home we have lived in for the past two years is owned by my in-laws. They decided that they wanted to build a new home. Which we also wanted to build but didn't know  where exactly that we wanted so we have been looking for the past 6 months. In the meantime my in laws put there home up for sale and told us we could stay until there home sold! Well we thought that we might have our home built before there's sold, But guess what!!!! There's sold about 4 weeks ago. So our home is being demolished this week for the new one to start.  So they are living in a camp trailer while they build and we are living with a great Friend Judd Green! So our life has been so crazy packing and moving and building! But things are great i will post pics when i can find where i packed the cords for my camera. Ridge is so wonderful and we just enjoy him every day more and more! He is now 15 pounds and getting so big he laughs and giggles all the time!!! He now is eating rice cereal. He didn't know what to think about it at first but is loving it now! Brady's been so crazy and we never see him, hes been working so much and then working on the house. I am starting my new job working at the Forum hair school in American fork teaching and I'm so excited!  Life is great!!!!

What we have been up to!

I sure hope he likes to ride one day!

Ridge's easter basket

I really think he looks so big!

 

This is what Ridge got for Easter! A cute little puppy! She doesn't have a name yet!

Ridge has a cold and its the sadest thing ever we had to take him to the hospital this morning to have his nose sucked out and i cryed so hard because he was balling and screaming so loud! poor baby! We just have to watch him close so it doesn't turn into RSV. He doing really good and is already 11 pounds! I never want to forget the little moments like how he loves the bath, and how he makes the cutest noises. I love being a mommy!

Our sweet baby boy

Well here goes the story of Ridge! On March 5 i woke up and was not feeling very well but it was Rileys birthday and my grandmas so i really was hoping that i would go into labor! So i told Brady around 11 that i wanted to go get checked.Off we went when we got there i was dilated to a 2.5 and 80% effaced. They made us walk around the hospital for an hour which was so fun! me and Brady laughed and talked about everything really was a fun memory! They checked me again and i was at a 3.5 and100% effaced!! YEAH. My Dr came in and said i can start you if you want or you can go home and see what happens so of course i was all for them starting me! We got settled into our room and Brady ran home to get all of our stuff. They started pitocin around 1:00 and things were great! I started to feel contracions about 3:00 and they were coming pretty hard. Ridges heart beat keep dropping though out all of this so they had to keep lowering the pitocin very hour or so, Which made me stop dilating from 3 to 6 i had only dilated 3 centimeters not good!!! My Doctor came in around 6 and broke my water which after that things started rolling! I got my epidural around 7:30 and i was dilated to 7. Then i started pushing around 10:30 and  pushed for 2 hours and he was here!!!! It really was the most amazing special moment ever! Brady was so wonderful and so much help. When he came out the placed him on my chest and it was the best moment of my life, just to know he was here and ok and the look on Bradys face was so special. I remember i just held him and cryed and kissed his forehead. I cant explain the love i have for that little boy. I hope i will always remember that moment! He was 6.14 and 20 inches long and his eyes where wide open the minuet he came out! IT has been so fun to see Brady with him he has completely melted his heart and made him such a softy!! Its really fun how it has made our love for each other so much stronger! We had his pictures taken the other day so here is a sneak peak! We love you Ridge!

Getting ready for baby!

Well i am staring to get ready for this Lil man to come! I cant wait to just see him and hold him and love on him! I cant believe how soon he is coming. Even with all the excitement of him coming I'm very scared!!! It all hit me the other day that this is really happening and i have to make sure hes OK and that he grows up to be a great man one day! THIS IS HUGE!! Am i ready for this, can i handle this?? So i had a good talk with Maclee, she had me watch a you tube thing on THE Reflections of Motherhood! Best thing Ive watched not that it took all those feelings away it just made me feel alittle better.  Brady has been so great i have to hand it to him,  is all i do lately is complain about EVERYTHING! poor guy and the other day he said to me , " Hay i cant wait for him to come i feel really bad for you and i cant do a thing for you" He really is going to be such a great dad.  I cant wait for our new adventure together!!

We are going on the Deer hunt this coming weekend and i cant wait to go! We are going with my family and Carl so it should be good! Hope they get some big ones!!

Mommy

Well tonight i have alot on my mind! I cant get over the idea that we are bringing a precious baby into our lives. I feel so grateful that we are able to.  For the short time that we tried to get pregnant it seemed like forever! (but was only 6-7 months). There is many people out there that are not able to have children. I  feel really guilty right now because i have been complaining so much about being sick and really there is so many people that would love to throw up all day long! So i just have to count my blessings and say how honored i feel to bring a baby into the world, and from now on I'm going to try so hard to not complain about anything! I cant wait to be called mommy, to hear a little cry in the middle of the night, to worry about potty training. I cant wait to hear all about there first day of school, i know there will be lots of tears shed and many laughs along the way but I'm so grateful i have the opportunity to be called mommy! I just hope that i can be as good of a mother as my mom was to me! I'm so glad i get to share this experience with her and i don't know what id do with out her! I'm also so excited to start a new journey with Brady he has been the best husband anyone could ask for and i know he will be such an amazing father!

Happy Fall Yall!!

Well it has been such a great summer and don't get me wrong when i say i cant wait for FALL!! There is just something about the crisp air, fall colors, pumpkins, and Halloween that i just love!! So i really hardly can wait! I had all my Halloween decor out and ready to put up and Brady told me i was jumping the gun just a bit! so i decided i better wait until the 15th :) We are at a great mile point  I'm 12 weeks yesterday and i cant wait until its like 35 weeks but it will come!!  Ill post some pics of the little baby after our next appt on weds!! Happy fall Ya' ll!!

Big News update!

Well i guess its time to blog about our big news!! WE are .......... Having a BABY!!!!! We are so excited for this little baby to join our life! We went to our first doctors appt on wednesday and everything looked great! We where able to see the heart beat and see how tiny the baby is! It was such a cool experience! Brady said to me i cant beleive thats inside of you! And he was so cute when he saw the heart beat he was so excited. We go back in two weeks and he will give me a Real due date. The doctor thought i was about 6 weeks and i thought i was a little further along  so he thought i could be due anywhere between March 13-18 so we will know in two weeks the final say! Ive been super sick which i guess i never knew how bad it really is when all my friends would tell me how hard it was at first when your pregnant. Well i now feel your pain!! But thanks to some great meds! I can at least function now! But i will take being sick to get this little baby here! I cant wait till we can see it and hold it and just enjoy ever moment!!
