Parker's Newborn Pics

2010-10-18T10:29:00.015-06:00

FAVE PIC EVER!!!

LOL he totally peed all over!! I don't know how,

but she managed to snap the photo and
catch it!

We had Parker's newborn pics done when he was about 1 week old. I am so happy we got naked ones done. I didn't with Kaylie, and I totally regret it. These turned out PERFECT! I just cry every time I look at them.
There are too many to pick from. We have about 175 pics...they all turned out great!
We're adjusting to life a little better now days...we have a pretty good routine down and Parker is sleeping so good at night. The past few nights he's slept all night, so that is so awesome!
He's such a good, mellow, easy baby! He just goes with the flow and allows Kaylie to maul him, disturb him when he's sleeping, and throw toys at his face!! We just love him and are so happy he's a part of our family!!

Love these kids! Keeping me super busy

Birth Story!

2010-08-16T16:21:00.010-06:00

I tried to put these in order, but had a heck of a time doing it, so I gave up!

Daniel holding his son for the first time.
Just got to the hospital and changed into a gown.
It's GO TIME!

Heading out the door to the hospital early Monday morning.

First family pic :)

I believe I was having a contraction at this time,

but tried to smile and act like it wasn't hurting

to have Kaylie sit on my lap.

Proud daddy :)

Sweet baby boy.

Holding Parker for the first time.

There's No way to describe this feeling.

*** So....I was super nervous to be induced, because a lot of mothers who are induced end up having a c-section. I did not want that! The night before I was induced, my parents got here. Daniel, my dad and Daniel's dad gave me a blessing, which really calmed my nerves. I didn't sleep much that night. I don't know if I was nervous, or having contractions. I think a little bit of both.

My boss called me from the hospital Monday morning and told me my 2 favorite nurses were working in OB and to hurry and get there so we could get going! I was so excited that they were working. They are awesome and so much fun!

When we got there, I changed into my gown and the nurse checked me. I was dialated to a 4! I couldn't believe it. I had been 2cm for 3 weeks, so I was surprised I was that dialated. She got my IV going and started the pitocin. We were having a great time, just chillin, waiting for the contractions to start. The nurse turned up the pit every 30 min. I didn't realy start to feel contractions until about 10:30. They were mild at first, and tolerable. She told me to let her know when I wanted my epidural, because it would take about 30 min to get the anestesiologist (sp?) out of surgery and there to do it. I asked for it around 10:45 and didn't get it until 11:30. At that point I was getting really uncomftorable and thought about calling him myself!

Kaylie, my parents and Daniel's parents were there by now and getting nervous. I was also super nervous to get my epidural. When he got there, he had me lay on my side, in a fetal posistion. With my first epidural, I sat up and hunched my back. This really made me nervous. I ended up doing just fine and it was a WONDERFUL epidural. After my epidural was in, they checked me again. I was 6 cm.

Dr Gagon came in at about noon and broke my water, This really got my labor going! I loved having contractions and not feeling a thing!! At 2pm I was dialated to 8cm. At about 2:50ish I was complete and ready to push! Dr. Gagon got there at 3pm. As soon as he got there and started getting his gown ans gloves, I got so emotional! I think reality was sinking in, and I was also scared because I pushed for 1 1/2 hrs with Kaylie. I was afraid that would happen again.

I started pushing at 3, Parker was born at 3:07!!! He weighed 7lb 7oz and was 2o in long.

At this point we still had't agreed on a name. Daniel was dead set on Parker, but I wasn't too sure! That night before we went to bed, Daniel informed me that we were deciding on a name before we went to sleep. I figured one of us had to give in, so I did. I figured it was his son, I pretty much named Kaylie and it would eventually grow on me, so we went with PARKER CURTIS MOWER.

The rest is hustory...the recovery with Parker was 100% easier than with Kaylie. I felt sooo good and never had any issues. Parker has been a great baby and such a sweetheart.

He's sleeping a lot better at night and eating every 3-4 hrs. He's gaining weight now, now that we figured out he wasn't getting enough from breastfeeding. He weighed 8 lb 14 oz today :)

We are so blessed to have Parker in our family abd just love him to pieces :)

2 weeks old already!

2010-08-03T12:06:00.005-06:00

I love this little guy! He's such a sweet baby. I had forgotten how much fun newborns are. Even though there are many sleepless nights, it's all totally worth it.

We had a really rough nights where he was up pretty much all night. (Only slept on and off for 3 hrs). He would wake up just screaming and acting like he was in pain. The only thing I could think of was acid reflux. I took him in to our Pediatrician yesterday. He weighed 7lb 7oz at birth. Well yesterday he was 7lb 6oz! So sad. He said he should be around 7lb 14oz by now. I felt horrible. He felt he's not getting enough to eat so he's waking up hungry. So now I am nursing him on both sides, then offering a bottle. We did this last night and had a much better night. (That's why I am finally getting around to a post!) Anyway, things are great, we love our baby Parker and Kaylie is adjusting well. She loves him to death and is always looking out for him. We are so blessed to have him in our family!

LARGE & in CHARGE

Last weekend we made a last minute trip to Blanding for the 4th. I'm so glad we did. We debated for 2 days before wether we should go or not, but finally made the decision to go. We spent most the weekend on the mountain camping with family. We came to town long enough for Kaylie to enjoy the parade. She loved it. She had a blast picking up candy and seeing the horses. She loved the 4 wheelers on the mountain. We couldn't keep her off em! The other pics are just random from the last few weeks.

I am set for induction July 19th. I saw the dr today and am still dialated to 2cm and 50% effaced. My dr is leaving town tomorrow for the week, so I am really praying I can hold off til the 19th. Also, my mom is gone, living it up with her hubby on the gold wing, and Daniel starts school Monday, so I really need to hold off if I can!

I am officially done with work. I am releived, but already miss it and the people I work with. This next week we plan to take it easy, finish up last minute things for the baby, make 1 last quilt and just relax!

2 yr & Maternity pics

2010-06-18T07:57:00.016-06:00

* Warning: LOTS of pics to follow! *

* We had these pics taken a few weeks ago. It was such a fun photo shoot. I wasn't sure if I was going to do maternity ones, cause I just kinda felt weird about it. But I didn't do any when I was prego with Kaylie and I really regretted it. Kaylie wasn't cooperating the best, but she got some really cute ones. I think they turned out great!

*Kaylie is growing up so fast. She seriousley scares me with some of the stuff she says and remembers. She is so dang smart. We've been swimming a few times this summer and she loves it. She asks everyday to go swimming. I don't love being 8 months prego in a swimming suit, but hey, ya gotta make sacrifices for your kids. I just go and pray I don't see anyone I know.

*She is so into movies right now. She will have a fave for like a week that she watches about 1000000 times a day, then moves onto a new movie. It started with Spirit, Tarzan, Little Einsteines Animals, Horton Hears a Who, now we're onto Nemo. She's so much fun. I just love her to pieces.

*She is sleeping in her big girl bed now! We took down the crib the other day so she wouldn't really have much of a choice where to sleep. She does so good in it. She doesn't get out of the bed until we go in and get her. She just sits on the bed and waits for us.

*Pregnancy update: I saw the doctor yesterday. I was hesitant to ask about induction, but I really wanted to know and wanted to have some sort of plan. So I asked...he said he would start me as early as 2 weeks early! Holy crap, I almost went into labor right there when he told me that! I think we will go with 1 week early, which will be July 19th. Daniel is out of school that whole week and my mom will just be getting back to the SLC area after their bike trip to Yellowstone. I think it'll be perfect. I kinda want the whole surprise thing of going into labor at home and wondering if this is the time to go, or should we wait awhile longer....all that excitememt. But for all parties involved, I think July 19th will be the best day, unless he decided to come any sooner!!

* I got his car seat/stroller, bedding, and lots of odds and ends that I was needing. I'm definatley feeling more ready for this baby. If only we had a name.....

34 weeks down, 6 to go :)

2010-06-10T21:24:00.004-06:00

I am getting so much closer to having this boy! I am so nervous, but so excited and ready at the same time! I am like totally sticking straight out! It's crazy that your body can stretch and grow like this. I can't imagine being pregnant much longer during the summer. I am always soooo hot! I'm over-heating all the time. Good thing it's not been too hot yet. Kaylie is sleeping in her Dora bed for the first time tonight, so I can finally get the crib in his room and get it all set up. Can't wait to meet this little guy :)

I love this girl...

2010-05-22T19:47:00.011-06:00

I freaking love her!!! Tonight Kaylie fell asleep on my lap at 7:15! We usually watch a movie and she drinks her milk starting at 7:00, then I lay her down around 8. Today she only had a 30 min nap, so this is what I got :) I love when she falls asleep in my lap....it doesn't happen too often. She is the type of girl that falls asleep in her crib, when there are no other distractions around. This will have to do for my belly pic for now....31 weeks :)

I am so blessed to have Kaylie. I just love her to pieces. She has the most fun, out-going, spunky personality! Definatley never a dull moment around our house!

Kaylie is 2 and spoiled rotten....she has a tramp. Daniel was saying the other day, "Man, when I was little, I always wanted a tramp. Kaylie is 2 and she already has one!" I think it's more for my sanity than anything else. This girl LOVES to be outside and insists on going out rain, wind, hail or shine! I knew I would be large this summer and not able to chase her in the yard (no fence), so when K-Mart had them on sale, we jumped on it. lol :)

Jumping with daddy

Her hair is always so statiky! (Can't spell it!) Even if I pull it up and use tons of hair spray before we go out, we still get this. She doesn't seem to mind.

The net on the tramp has a little clip thing that you can clip together. She is obsessed with it. She always makes sure it's clamped and zipped up.

Such a serious face!

Just had to add this pic...we do have a normal 2 year old who throws fits FREQUENTLY. I belive this one was because she wanted pop out of the fridge at 7am instead of her milk. WOW!!

We only have about 9, hopefully 7 or 8 weeks til the baby gets here. I am getting more and more large and more and more HOT! Goodness, I'm always hot! It's not even that warm yet. I sleep with "blue" :) and my sheet only. Good thing he's coming when he is, cuz I'm not sure I could hack the heat any longer! I'm still working and doing good...the other day a man told me he was watching me walk down the hall and wasn't sure if I was gonna make it into the pt's room. Guess it must have been at the end of the day and I was waddling a little more than normal! I feel good over-all and am so excited to meet our little guy. We think we have a name, but it changes weekly, so we'll see :)

28 wks...

2010-05-03T20:52:00.005-06:00

Well, my friends, here is a belly shot at 28 weeks. I don't love these, but do wish I'd taken more when I was prego with Kaylie, so I'm making an effort to do better with this one. It's crazy to think I'm 7 months along. He'll be here before I know it. I've got A LOT to get done in the next few months.

Here is my little sweetheart. I LOVE her!! She is the cutest little thing ever! She's got a personality like none other. She loves to be outside. Snow, wind, rain, sun- it doesn't matter, as long as we're outside. We bought her a tramp and finally had a decent day to set it up for her. We spent about 4 hrs out there today. She just loves it :)

We are alive!

2010-04-21T19:25:00.013-06:00

We've been so busy the past few months! Can't even describe how excited we are for some WARM weather!! It's been so nice to be able to play outside. Kaylie turned 2 on March 22nd. We partied all week long! We went to Phoenix for spring break and stayed with my brother and his family. Kaylie had a blast playing outside and playing with her cousins. This was her actualy Birthday. The 3 of us went to Dabinki to go 4 wheeling. This girl loves the 4 wheeler. We had a blast and was able to enjoy the sun.

This was one of her Birthday parties. This was in Phoenix. She was excited to have all the attention and all the new toys.

We spent the whole week outside. We walked to the park where she had fun on the slides.

I love this pic. I think it's so funny! She's lovin the warm weather. In her swimming suit, with the water on the tramp, and sippy cup of milk. So cute :)

While we were in Phoenix, we went to Peter Piper Pizza. It was so much fun! Kaylie and the girls had a blast. She didn't want to leave.

She is totally all girl. She loves to get in my closet and wear my high heels around the house. She never gets into Daniel's shoes, it's always mine.

For Easter, Kaylie and I went to Blanding. We left Daniel home to study :( We had a lot of fun. It was a little bit colder than we liked, but we still had a blast.

Since it's warmed up, we go to the park a couple times a week. She has so much fun. She always asks to "play", "park". It's so cute. She loves the swings and has no fear.

We've also been to the wave pool! Marci and her boys came down and we took the kids swimming. The wave pool here in Price has a bubble over it, so it's open all winter long. I don't know why I haven't been going all winter...it was so warm inside. Almost hot! The water was perfect and Kaylie loved it.

One more pic from Easter :)

I can't believe my baby is already 2. it just blows my mind how fast time goes by! She was born on Easter weekend, so Easter is always extra special to me :) She is so fun and full of life. Never a dull moment around this house! She loves to play outside. We spend a lot of time at the park and in our yard.

I am now 26 wks along. I can't believe how much faster this pregnancy is going! I still sometimes forget I'm pregnant, then look down at my belly and have a reality check. It's just crazy to think we'll be adding a little boy to this family. I am so excited and can't wait to meet him. I think we have a name...we've been tossing around so many names, but have maybe finally decided on one we both agree with. We'll see when he gets here. I'm still working full time at the Hospital and feel pretty good for the most part.

Daniel has finals and graduation next week, THANK GOODNESS! Man, it's been a rough semester for all of us. We still don't know if he got into the RN program. We'll find out next week hopefully.

Last but not least, Kaylie is gone for a week! She went to Blanding with my parents. She just left today, and it's already so weird and quiet around here. I'm way busy with work this week and Daniel is super busy with studying for finals, so my parents were so sweet to take her down with them. She loves grandma and grandpa and will have a blast.

Update...

2010-03-02T10:02:00.006-07:00

The cold weather and 90 feet of snow have us so cooped up in the house, I am just going crazy! This pic was awhile ago...we ventured out one day and played in the snow. We rode the 4 wheeler around the yard. Kaylie loved it :)

The other day I was watching my friend Lindsey's little boy. Kaylie had so much fun with McKade. She had to sit on my lap with her sippy while I fed him a bottle. She was so interested in everything he was doing. She was giving him kisses, playing with his toys, giving him her toys. It was cute. She's gonna be such a good big sister!

This is our morning ritual...she eats cereal in her Dora chair while watching either Phineas and Ferb or Handy Manny. She's so funny.

She loves playing with my shoes! She'll drag them out of my closet all throughout the house. It's funny when she tries to walk in my heels.

Just a cute pic of my baby girl. I can't believe she is going to be 2 this month!! It just blows my mind how fast time has flown by. I am now 19 wks and doing great. My belly has definatley popped out this past wk. We still don't have a name, which drives me crazy. I hate calling him "him", I need a name. Boys are just so hard to name.

We are going to Phoenix in a few weeks for Spring Break. Man, I'm so excited to get away from the cold and snow. We'll go down and stay with my brother and his family. We can't wait to see them and to see the sun and green grass!!

IT'S A.........

2010-02-13T21:06:00.005-07:00

Last Tuesday I went to Provo for a gender check. My SIL has a OB Dr. up there who will do gender checks (even if you're not a pt there) for $50. Here in Price, I wouldn't get an ultrasound til 20 weeks. I figured finding out 4 weeks sooner would be well worth the $50.
Unfortunatley, Daniel wasn't able to come with me :( They only day we could have made it work with his chaotic school schedule would be Thursday or Friday. Well they don't do gender checks on those days. I told him we could just wait til I was 20 weeks and do it here in Price. He was so sure it was a boy, he just wanted to know.
So I worked it out to have it done when my mom would be there, and Daniel's mom also got to come. It was so awesome. I had Daniel on the phone with me when we got the news that IT'S A BOY!!!! I was totally in shock, and actually, still am. It really happened so fast. It only took like 3 minutes. There was no question, it was definatley a boy! Daniel was soooo happy. He's still on cloud 9!
After the ultrasound, we went to Olive Garden and had lunch. Marci and boss were able to meet up with us so that was fun. Then we headed to the mall to get our shop on! I've never really looked at baby boy stuff, but there really is some cute stuff out there. We got some cute outfits. It made me a lot more excited.
We are struggling with a name....I feel like I need a name so I can bond with him and start calling him his name! With Kaylie, we knew her name the minute we found out she was a girl. This time however, is much more difficult! Let me know if you have any suggestions!!!

And then there were 4....

2010-01-19T12:09:00.005-07:00

It's official, we are a family of 3, soon to be 4!! We are expecting our 2nd baby in July. It wasn't really an "oops" or surprise, but definatley happened much faster than we expected, and much faster than Kaylie. Needless to say, we are super excited to add another sweet baby to the fam. I am super excited about having a baby in the summer.

I have felt great so far and have been able to keep working. We find out in 3 weeks what we're having! Daniel swears it's a boy, I'm leaning more towards a girl. Guess we'll wait and see!

I definatley feel the 2nd time around I am getting so much bigger, faster. I have tried to grin and bear it, but wow, it's a down hill battle from here!!!

I am super excited and feel so blessed to be able to have another child :)

Kaylie is growing up!

2009-08-18T20:13:00.004-06:00

She's getting so big! She looks so grown up here. Daniel got her this sand box. He went and bought some sand bags, a swimming pool and some toys for her. She loves it. She played in it for like 30 min straight today. Wish we would have done it sooner!!

Kaylie is so getting into her cartoons! She loves Phineas and Pherb (so do I...that cartoon is #1!!), Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dora, Handy Manny. She likes Spongebob too, but I can't stand it. Plus, I swear it cussed the other day. I re-wound it like 5 times, and it really did swear! Anyway, Kaylie is just growing up right before our eyes. She does something new everyday. She's starting to talk and jabber a lot more. Some of her favs: "what's that", "mama", "g-mama", "go go go", "shoes", "more (with sign language)", "no", "owie". She's so much fun, we just love her to pieces!!

Summer Fun

2009-07-29T20:51:00.010-06:00

Kaylie's new cousin, BrinLi. Rob & LeeAnn adopted this sweet girl from China! They were in China for 2 weeks. We met up with them in the Wal-Mart parking lot here in Price on their way home. At frist BrinLi wasn't sure about us and kinda kept to herself. By the end she was warming up and even gave me a hug good bye.

She's so dang cute. We can't wait to see her in a few weeks!!

Kaylie being a wild unit at Wal-Mart. I have to put her in the big part of the basket. Otherwise, she squirms out of the top part, even with the seat belt thing on her. She's WILD!!

A few weekends ago we went to Lake Powell with Bryan and the whole fam. We had so much fun! It was Kaylie's first time on a boat. She did pretty good, considering she was getting a molar, tired, being clingy to mom, etc. Ashlyn and I enjoying the nice sun!

We road this bananna boat like it was goin out of style!!! It was so much fun. I think we could have rode this thing all day long. I had such a blast.

Kaylie and her Grandpa. She looks like she hates life in this pic, but over-all, she had fun. We stopped to jump off some cliffs, so Kaylie and I got in the water to cool off. I had a life jacket on her, and a cute little blow up toy for her to sit in. It was really cute. She didn't like the water at first, but after a few minutes she liked it, and almost fell asleep right there in the water!

We've had a wild and fast summer. I can't believe July is almost over. Daniel has finals tomorrow for his summer semester, then will have a 2 wk break. We are so ready. We're going to leave Kaylie with my mom for a night so we can get away. We're going to Durango to relax and have some alone time. It'll be our first time to leave her over night. I'm nervous to leave her, but wow...so ready for a break.

Where has my baby gone??

2009-06-29T15:45:00.004-06:00

Is she seriousley 15 months old already? I can't hardly think about how fast she is growing up without getting so sad! They all say to cherish every moment because they grow up so fast. The past 15 months has gone by so fast! This is her favorite toy. That thing is running all day long. She not only puts the balls inside it, but I've found an apple core, her Tylenol, magnets, pens, etc...

She loves chips...just like her daddy. She was eating veggies, then her daddy gave her a chip, so she decided to give the veggies back. She actually really likes her veggies, which is awesome. She just prefers chips over veggies :) She is finally walking!! Life is much better now that she can get around better and get where she wants to go. She cruises all over the house. She loves to take her clothes out of her drawers, throw them over her shoulder, and haul them around. She has 9 teeth....3 of which are molars. Ok, her molars are GIGANTIC!!! I swear they are as big as mine! I don't know if this is normal or not, but wow, poor girl. It's gotta hurt like crap!

Anyway, we got all moved to Price, Daniel started school and I'm back to work at the Beehive in Price and Elmo. It's been way crazy busy the past month, but it's all good. We are renting a cute little house and really like it. Hope you all have a happy 4th of July! We're off to Swan Valley in Idaho for the celebration, so all you Blanding folks enjoy the classic "4th of July in Blanding" without us! :(

New toys!

2009-06-05T20:46:00.003-06:00

Well this is our new toy! We're so excited. We've been wanting a 4 wheeler forever but just never really got one. We found a great deal on good ole' KSL, so we decided to go for it! It's a Kawasaki Brute force 750 (if that means anything to any of you!) I haven't driven or even rode on it yet, but hopefully we'll be able to go on a ride soon. It rained all day, so it's a muddy mess everywhere. ---- We found a place to live in Price and got all moved in. Not everything is unpacked, but it's all here! I started work Monday and it's been non-stop since. I sure hope it slows down as time goes on. Daniel and I are playing on softball leagues this summer. I have games Tuesday nights and he plays on Thursday nights, so that's kept us busy. It's so much fun. We lost both our games this week, but we still had a blast!

Wow...lots going on!

2009-05-26T12:39:00.012-06:00

We have been soooo busy these past few weeks. I don't even know where to start! We hit up the zoo last week. Kaylie loved it. She thought all the animals were puppies and was panting at them. It was funny. We had our 4th anniversary on the 21st of May!! Holy crap I don't even know where the past 4 years have gone! It's gone by so super fast. It's been great and I wouldn't trade it for anything. In the past 4 years, I've gotten my RN, a baby and the best husband in the world!!! Who could ask for more?! For our anniversary, we went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants....TEXAS ROADHOUSE!!! Man, that place is the best. We took Kaylie with us, because we had a few more errands to run, so we decided to just bring her along for the celebration! We had a great night and can't wait for more to come! And last, but not least... we've decided to move to Price. With Daniel going to school and everything, we thought it would be best to just move down there. So, we've been house hunting for the past 2 weeks. Let me tell ya...it pretty much sucks and is discouraging. We don't want to rent because we will be there for at least 2 years, but there is really nothing decent to buy. Everything is so over-priced, it's not even funny. We have to be out of our place here in Spanish Fork by the 1st of June (yes, that's this Sunday) and we totally don't have a place to go down there. Talk about stress, frustration, discouragement, blah blah blah! I got my old job back at Beehive Homes, an assisted living and I'll also be working at another assisted living in Emery County. It will be flexible with Daniel's school and Kaylie, so I think it'll work out really good. Well I think that's about our 2 week adventures in a nut shell. Wish us luck and hope we're not living on the streets in Price, Utah!!

My Mother's Day!

2009-05-16T11:03:00.005-06:00

I had a great Mother's Day this year! I worked the night before, and had to work that night again, so I was pretty much sleeping all day, but I still had a great day! I have been wanting a big mirror for my living room wall. I have looked, but not found the one I wanted. Daniel gave me some cash so I could go find the perfect mirror! I also got a sweet card. When it opens, it sings the song "girls just wanna have fun". It's cute. Anyway, I just love being a mom and can't believe that I am a mom. It's just crazy. I stinkin love this little girl. We're such good buddies and are always having a good time!

Sittin on the floor, eating grapes. She loves them!

I love this picture. She's got the funniest face! I think she's trying not to smile, but it's hard! Hope everyone else had a great Mother's Day!!!

1 year pics

2009-04-23T15:43:00.010-06:00

We had 1 year pics done today. Wow, what a long, exhausting, tiring day! It seriousley wears me out. She was really good though, so I am thankful for that. We went to my fav place to get pics done...Kiddie Kandids. These are just the plain pics...they go through and put boarders on them, her name, edit things, change from color to black and white or sepia, etc. They turned out so cute. I am very happy with them. I got 5 framed pics that will be here in a few weeks. Can't wait to get them here. I have a bare wall in my living room that just drive me nuts, so these pics will be perfect! I'll post pics when I get them here and hung up on the wall.

1 year check-up

2009-04-14T12:54:00.007-06:00

We had Kaylie's 1 year check-up a few weeks ago. Of course I forgot my camera, but thank goodness I had my phone. :) This was after the 4 shots. She was not a happy camper!

Makes me so sad! Usually they get 2 nurses and get them done 2 at a time. But not this time... all 4 at seperate times. It was awful! I was about to offer to help her out and do 2 of them myself, but I don't know if I could handle that. It's bad enough seeing the way she looks at me like "why are you letting them do this to me mom?" The pic on the left totally shows how nervous she was!

She was a little more happy in this pic. It was before the doctor came in. I don't know why, but she's terrified of them. Probably cause they always hold her down and she hates that. He said she's healthy and growing good! Weight: 19 lb 3 oz. (20% tile)

Height: 27 inches (30% tile)

GOOD NEWS!!

2009-04-05T09:37:00.006-06:00

Well the letter says it all....Daniel got accepted into the nursing program in Price! We are super excited!!! I totally know how he feels....this is all deja vu for me. I'm so glad it's him and not me this time around! I honestly wasn't sure if he would get in, just because he decided 5 days before spring semester that he wanted to go back to school and do nursing. At this point, all the classes up here were full, so he decided to commute to Price 5 days a week to finish his pre reqs. He only had 3 more classes to do, which was awesome. There were 233 applicants and they only accepted 25 in Price and 15 in Blanding. I feel so blessed that he got in! He's worked so hard this semester and it's apparently paid off! It has been tough at times...he stays some nights at his parent's house in Helper, just so he doesn't have to drive through the canyon in horrible weather and to also save on gas. With me working graves, we sure don't see much of eachother. We're not sure if we're going to move down or not. I'd like to stay up here until our lease is up on our house in October. I really like my job and would just rather stay here. But if the commuting gets too terrible, we may just pack up and move, once again. I swear, we move more than anyone I know. Anyway, congrats babe!! I'm so proud of you!!

1st Birthday Party!!

2009-03-27T20:37:00.013-06:00

She loved her cake! I thought she'd dig in, but holy crap, I didn't think she'd like devour the whole thing! She had frosting all over her body. From her head to toes! The frosting kinda stained her body, but she didn't mind!

As you can see, my cakin-making skills aren't the best. I actually were impressed with this lady bug. It turned out better than I thought.

This is her first dolly. She loves it. She'll pack it around with her everywhere she goes. She loves to play with the eyes and give her kisses. So cute.
This little pink car makes all these loud noises and drives all over the place. She was kinda scared of it at first, but she likes it now.

We got her this car that she can push around and we can also push her in it. I really like it cuz it has a seat belt, so I can strap her down and she can't get out! She loves it. I'll put her in it while I'm cleaning the kitchen and just push her around everywhere I go.
She'll just sit in it for hours. She watches cartoons in it, eats snacks, and helps mom clean the house. She just loves it!

Grandma Mower brought Kaylie a bag of clothes from Old Navy for her Birthday. She was so cute with them. She would pull them out and look at them all. She was so cute. It was such a fun birthday! I CAN NOT believe she is ONE YEAR OLD!!! It's just insane that I have a 1 year old. I can't get over it. Her birthday was on Sunday...at church we were singing "Because I have been given much" and I just looked down at her and totally felt so grateful for her! I have always loved that song, but never really thought about it like that. I truly am blessed to have such a sweet daughter. I don't know why I am so lucky to have her, but she truly is the biggest blessing ever! She makes me so happy. I look forward to each day to see what new things she will do! We had a great birthday and can't wait for many more to come!! Love you Kaylie Rae!!

One year ago...

2009-03-21T21:28:00.003-06:00

One year ago today....I was ready to pop! This was the night before I had Kaylie. I remember we watched National Treasure 2, and I remember thinking to myself, "man, this may be the last time we get to watch a movie together before I have the baby." Sure enough....it was. I don't have very many pics of my belly, so I'm glad we took this one. I was reclined in my chair, eating caramel popcorn. We're having a Birthday party for Kaylie tomorrow. Can't wait!! I honestly do not believe that she is one. I'm straight-up in denial. I'll post pics of the party and presents, etc. later!

New addition to the family...

2009-03-07T17:14:00.004-07:00

This is the newest addition to our family: A 2005 Jeep Rubicon. Daniel's family is totally into jeepin in Moab and we are going to be able to join them! We've gone in the past and just drove Daniel's dad's old jeep. Daniel and his dad were building a jeep for us, but after a lot of thought, we figured it would be cheaper to buy a jeep than to pay someone to finish ours for us. We drove up to Heber the other night to check this one out and ended up buying it that night!! It's totally loaded for Moab so we can have a great adventure. We're going down in April. I'm really excited. My first Moab trip I went on was when Daniel and I were just barely engaged. I was so scared, because I've never done anything like that! It still kinda gets my heart racing, but it'll be fun. As you can see, Daniel is pretty proud of his new toy. He'll go out in the garage and just look at it and mess with it. AND...my car is now out in the drive way. Poor thing got booted out of the garage!!

Kaylie likes the jeep too. We've gone on a few rides and she acts like she really likes it! I will be a little nervous in Moab with her in it, but Daniel is so safe-we'll be ok. I'll post pics after the trip.

Big Disappointment

2009-03-03T09:09:00.002-07:00

Hey Bachelor fans! Is anyone else totally pissed at Jason?! I loved Melissa from day 1. She's so cute, great personality and totally sincere. I just can't believe he led her on, proposed and put a ring on her finger! He's been through that with Deona and knows how it feels. I was totally blown away during the after show when he said things had changed in the last 6 weeks. I do think Molly is a nice girl, but come on dude. Make up your mind the first time and quit breaking hearts!!! I don't know if I can watch the other "re-cap show" tonight. Guess we'll see.

Looks who's 11 months!

2009-02-24T16:59:00.015-07:00

It was finally warm enough today to go outside without bundling up in all our winter gear. The past few days have been so nice! Definatley getting spring fever. I pushed Kaylie around on this little bike on our back patio. She loved it. Her feet just kept dragging...we'll have to work on her keeping them on the pedals.

I've been teaching her some sign language. This is her doing "more". I didn't catch it right when she was doing it, but you can still see what she's doing.

Jeff, Carrie & Gracie came to visit us the other day. Kaylie and Gracie had so much fun. They were so cute together. They're only 6 weeks apart. Gracie is walking all over the place like a big girl!

Kaylie decided it would be fun to sit on Gracie's lap! I think Gracie was a little shocked and didn't know what to think! They had fun playing in the toy closet.
She loves to play in her old car seat. She gets in it like this and can't really get out! This was her cry for help!!

Kaylie is so dang funny in the tub. Bath time is one time I can count on for a great laugh. The other night she was splashing so hard, I'd get laughing, she'd get laughing and splash more. I was in tears from laughing so hard, and drenched from head to toe from her splashing. Daniel came upstairs to see what in the heck was going on.

Yummy bath water I guess? She alwayss leans over and drinks the water like a puppy.

Jayden, Justice & Kaylie havin a good ole time. She loves her cousins so much. She gets so happy and excited when I take her over there while I'm at work. She doesn't even miss me. Kinda sad, but glad she has such great cousins and aunt Marci!!!

The other day I ran upstairs real fast to change the laundry. Kaylie has been playing on the stairs and will sometimes crawl up 2-3, so we got a gate. Well it doesn't really fit cause our stairs are too wide. Guess she'll just play on it instead!

There's quite a few stairs (as you can see) so I get nervos! When I was done changing the laundry, she was 4 stairs from the top! Scarry!!! How tragic if she fell....I can't even think about it!!

So she's now 11 months....pusing a year already! I don't know what I'm gonna go next month. I just can't believe how fast it's gone by. It's been so much fun so far. She's such a good girl and so much fun to watch grow up. She has 6 teeth now: 4 top and 2 bottom. She weighs 19 lbs, eats pretty much everything we do, drinks out of a real cup most the time, loves to pull my pots & pans out of the cupboard, loves to chew on her crib. There are bite marks all over it. Makes me so mad. She is constantly jabbering and having a good time. I've been thinking about how I want to make her b-day cake. If any of you have any great ideas....please leave a comment!!

Quick Up-date

2009-02-16T14:31:00.003-07:00

Look closely....you can see Kaylie's little feet sticking out of the shower curtain. It is almost impossible to shower with her in the bathroom. She always makes her way under the shower curtain, then stands at the tub and wants in! By the time I'm done, she's so wet, I might as well throw her in too!

I finally caught a pic of her sleeping sitting up. She was just fighting taking a nap. There was too much going on that day and she just wanted to play. After she fussed and cried for awhile, she finaly gave in. I went in to tuck her in and this is what I found. Seriously, who can sleep like this?!

Crazy girl. I can't believe she can sleep like this.

Who wouldn't wanna wake up to this??

2009-02-02T16:48:00.002-07:00

Since I weaned Kaylie, she's been so happy!! She takes naps without any problems. I lay her down in her crib and she hardly fusses. She just falls asleep. She goes to bed at night really good too. She woke up this morning and was jabbering for a few minutes before I went to get her. When I walked in her room, this is what I found. She was bouncing up and down, so excited to see me. I am so lucky to have such a sweet daughter. I am so thankful for her and for the happiness she brings to our family! I can't imagine life without her! Love you Kaylie!!

I believe in miracles

2009-01-27T21:37:00.002-07:00

Ok, so we al know I have been stressing since Kaylie was 5 months old about how I was going to wean her from nursing. She loves to nurse. I often wonder what she would do if she couldn't nurse? She might go into some withdrawl syndrome. So the past week she's been nursing only about 3 times a day, which is awesome! I have been so pumped. One day Daniel said, "well maybe she's just gonna wean herself." I thought oh ya right, she'll be nursing til she's in kindergarten! Well.....she's weaned!!!!! I'm done nursing!! I didn't nurse her yesterday in the morning cuz we were running late and had to go to the dr with Marci, so I just fed her cereal and figured I'l nurse her there or in the car after we were done. She did fine all day and never really acted like she wanted it. So when it got to be 8pm last night, I told Daniel I was done, she hadn't nursed all day, she was telling me she's done. So it has now been 49 hours since she last nursed!! She is doing much better than I am....I have bene puking all day and I'm pretty sure my boobs are a size GG. The drying up part totally sucks. There is no way to describe how much it hurts. I even went to the doctor cuz I was afraid of getting mastitis, and he said the only treatment is to give it time. I read online that if you put cabbage leaves on your boobs, it'll help dry up. So as I type, I have cabbage leaves on my boobs, hoping for some releif! None the less, Kaylie is a big girl and no longer needs her mommy!!! It's kinda a bitter sweet situation....mostly sweet!

10 MONTHS!!!

2009-01-24T07:42:00.012-07:00

Is my baby really 10 months old? I honestly can not believe it. Everyone says time flies so enjoy every minute of it...but wow, I just don't know where the time has gone! I absolutely LOVE being a mom. I don't know if there is any greater calling than motherhood. I am so blessed to have Kaylie in my life! I love this pic of her cute bum!! She's standing there, holding onto her toy watching cartoons.

Still watching cartoons. I tried to ger her attention long enough to snap a photo, but this is all I got!

So her knee pads are awesome! I didn't put them on her for awhile, just cause I didn't really know if she needed them. The other night I had her in the tub and was washing her legs...she had bruises on her knees!! I felt so bad. So now she wears them, pretty much all day. She is crawling around EVERYWHERE!! I think the bruises came from her crawling on the tile in the kitchen when I'm in there cleaning or cooking. She has some number and letter magnets on the fridge that she loves to play with while I'm in there. Sometimes I go to change her diaper and get surprised when I see the knee pads, cause I forget they are on. I think she looks so silly! Unlce Tay thinks they are retarded. Personally, I think they're a good idea. Marci says we're preppin her to be a volleyball player! :)

This was taken on the day that she was 10 months. I love her little tongue sticking out thing. She has been doing it the past few days and it's so funny. She'll do it for pics, when she's playing or when she's concentrating on something.

She loves to pull herself up onto everything...especially daddy's new TV! She'll just pull herself up there and watch it. She also loves to pull off the x-box paddles(yes Jackie, they are paddles!!), the dvd player and anything on the shelves. I think Daniel will flip out the day she actually touches the TV screen!

We decided to get out her "big girl" car seat and see how she likes it. She loves it! When we're in the car, she's usually sleeping or sassing. I think she just couldn't see and wanted to sit up and enjoy the scenery! So she does much better in this one. We got a DVD player for the car for Christmas, so I'm excited to use it. She'll love it.
She is hanging on for dear life!! She gets into my pantry and hangs onto the shelves. She likes to play with all the plastic sacks in there.
I can't decide if she is starting to look like me?? Since day 1 everyone has said she looks like her daddy. I think she may have my nose....don't know!
My parents came up a last weekend and stayed with us. We went to Fat Cats bowling, had some yummy navajo tacos at Marci's and just had fun hanging out. My sweet dad bought me, Marci and Cath some roses. How sweet is that??? I loved them. I love getting flowers, but agree with Daniel that they are kinda a waste of money since they die so fast. So....I always get pumped when I get flowers. Thanks dad, I love ya!!!

We've had a busy week....actually a week filled with sickness. Kaylie had a double ear infection, red/sore throat, and pink eye in both eyes! I was hesitant to take her to the Doc because sometimes I feel like because I'm a nurse, I'm a little over-cautious and freak out about everything. But I knew something was really wrong because she was up all night and would nurse, then just pull off and start screaming. It was sad. So we got her into the Doc and got her some Amoxicillin. She's doing much better now. Daniel and I have the cold/ congestion crap going on, but doing better. Kaylie got her top right tooth yesterday! I've been watching it for awhile, I knew it was coming. I'm so glad it finally broke through.

Yesterday Marci called me and that Daniel and I needed to go on a date. She said Kaylie is 10 months old and you guys haven't been on a date since she was born! And that's the truth....we've never left her. I've been away from her for 6 hours at a time....max. So Marci and Tay watched Kaylie while Daniel and I went to Olive Garden. Soooo yummy. Even though we had to wait 45 min to get a table, it was worth it. Thanks so much Marci, we really needed that! We had such a great night!!

Such a big girl!

2009-01-10T15:41:00.004-07:00

I love this pic of Kaylie helping me with laundry.

This pic totally shows her personality! I love

her spiky hair. It doesn't comb down.

I also love this pic of my two sweethearts!!

I love Kaylie's dark brown eyes. She

is getting so big. She's no longer my baby...

more like my little girl!!

PS: She has pink eye...not fun! Poor girl :(

Bad Luck!

2009-01-03T21:42:00.004-07:00

Ok, so this happened awhile ago, I was

just going through my pics and found it

and it got me all fired up again! So yea,

my car got towed. I was seeing one of

my patients who lives in a trailer

park. As I opened the door to leave her

house, I reached for my keys to un-lock

my car....oh wait, my car was gone. It

was seriously the worst feeling! I was in shock

and didn't really know what to do! I called

Daniel, he didn't answer, of course. When

you need to talk to someone really bad, they

never answer. I honestly thought my

car had been stolen. I just stood there on

the porch with my keys in my hand and

bawled. I decided I better call the cops or

something. I didn't know what to do so I

just freakin called 911. I told them what happened,

that I thought my car had been stolen. They said,

"Is it the white Honda Accord?" I got excited

and told her yes, that was my car. She

goes on to tell me that it had been towed. I

could not understand why in the world I would

have gotten towed. I park in that same spot

every time I see this patient! She gave me the

number of the towing company to call. I called them,

they were rude. They told me I had one

tire parked on the grass and that was

against the rules of the trailer park. I asked

them where it was posted and they said

the residents of the trailer park are responsible

for letting me know where to park. I explained

I am a home health nurse who takes care of

old people. My poor old patient doesn't know

where I can and cannot park! Good greif, she's

90 years old!! Well to make a long story

short, Daniel came and picked me up,

we went to get the car and had to wait for an hour

for the freakin guy to get there. After he got there,

I asked him if he was just driving around

waiting for me, because I see this lady three

times a week and always park in the same

spot. They did cut the cost in half from $150 to

$75, but still, I was so ticked. Then, I get into my

car and my huge mug of water is spilled all over

the floor. I don't think they should be able

to tow my car away, when there aren't even

any signs posted as to where you can and cannot

park!! Anyway, I'm getting irate again, so I'm done.

I'm 9 months old!!!

2008-12-22T12:47:00.003-07:00

Wow I can't believe how time flies! I swear,

my pregnancy did not go by this fast.

Kaylie is such a good girl. She makes me

so happy! I love being a mom. She is

on a pretty good schedule now days.

She is sleeping through the night again, so

that is definatley a plus! I'm just a little

concerned about weaning her from the boob.

Any ideas?? I've thought about doing the

cold-turkey method, but I think that

would push all 3 of us over the edge.

I also thought about just taking a pill

that makes your milk dry up, so when

she tries to nurse, there's nothing

there. It's honestly giving me some major

anxiety! So any suggestions would be

greatly appreciated. She is so close

to crawling. She has the army crawl

down, and sometimes will take a few

"real" crawls. I feel so bad for her...

her knees are so red and have carpet

burn. So...I ordered her some knee

pads! I know it sounds funny, and will

look even funnier on, but I just feel

so bad! I'll be sure to post pics when

they get here.

Hope everyone

has a very Merry Christmas!!!

Kaylie had so much fun on this swing.

She wasn't too sure of it at first, but

Kaylie and her cousins crusin in the jeep!

Kaylie was the cutest monkey I've ever seen!

She wore her costume to Mike's game in
Nephi. They threw out candy, so I gave her a
Twix. She sucked off all the chocolate and
was starting to eat the caramel. That was her
first candy bar. She loved it.

This was after the game at Mike's house. She
was spent. This was even before we went
trick or treating! I forgot my camera, so
when I get pics of trick or treating, I'll be sure
to post them. We stayed in Nephi and went
trick or treating there with all the cousins.
I kinda felt dumb carrying Kaylie up to the
door and me saying "trick or treat" cuz
obviousley it's me who will be eating all
the candy. We only went to about 10
houses, then we called it a night. We came
home and hit the hay.

7 months old and.....1st tooth!!

2008-10-22T17:08:00.005-06:00

Kaylie is getting to where she hates to have

headbands on. It makes me sad cuz I love them!

She pulls them off and chews on them. I can't

even keep them on long enough to snap a pic!

She's 7 months old today. I can't believe it.

Last night she was lying on her stomach

and was getting up on her knees, trying

to crawl. It's not gonna be long.

She won the battle with the head band.

This past weekend Kaylie was terrible
during the move. I thought it was just
cuz she wanted to be held and have all
the attention like she usually does.
It was hard, because we had to pack
and clean and stuff. I actually ended
up mopping the floor at the old house
with her in my arms cuz she'd just
freak out when I put her down. Well
today I was just feeling her bottom gums
cuz I've been suspecting a tooth to be
coming. Well....I found one! She's been super
slobbery and whiney the past few days,
guess that explains why.
I'll post some pics of my new house
once I get everything organized
and in place.

We're moving!!

2008-10-10T10:45:00.002-06:00

So, here's the scoop. We're moving to Spanish Fork. Ever since we built and sold the house, we've been wanting to buy a business. We wanted to buy something that would not be effected by the economy these days. We decided we wanted to do something in the health-care industry. Perfect for me! In May, we found an Assisted Living business for sale in Payson. We inquired about it and went to visit it. We were really impressed and decided to make an offer. Well, the sellers didn't accept our offer, so we didn't quite know what to do. We thought about it for a couple of weeks, and decided to put in another offer (quite a bit higher than the 1st one). They did accept it, so we thought it was a done deal! Oh no....we still had to deal with the banks. To make a long story short.....we've just found out that Excel National Bank in Beverly Hills, CA is going to do our loan. We'll be moving sometime next week. We found a rental house in Spanish Fork, so we'll just commute the 10 min to Payson. I'm going to do a little home health on the side - i t's great money and really flexible with the baby. I'm so excited to finally live in a house! Even if it's not mine, it's gonna be great. I can't wait to have a dishwasher, disposal, ice maker, more than 2 bedrooms, and more than 1 bath! I'll post some pics as soon as we get up there. We can't wait. We have been working on this business thing for 5 months, it's been such a roller coaster of a process, but we're gonna be the proud owners of an assisted living facility!!!!

6 months old

2008-10-01T13:40:00.004-06:00

This is one of my favorite pics of Kaylie.

She was sitting on the couch, looking at

my as I walked by. I stopped and started

talking to her and she got so happy!

Daniel caught this with his camera phone,

so it's not the best pic, but I just love it.

You can't tell, but she has on little black

leggings. I love them! :) They look so cute

on her.

I can't believe Kaylie is already 6
months old. It's so true that they

grow up soooo fast! She's already

1/2 year old! I swear 6 months of

my pregnancy didn't go by this

fast. So as you can see....she's

totally sitting up! She just started

one day. She never went through a

wobbly stage where she would sit up

for a minute then fall over. She just

suddenly sits up!!!! She loves to

sit on her blankets and play with

toys. She just got her 6 month

check up and shots yesterday. She

got 4 shots :( She didn't cry with the

frist one, but the next 3 weren't fun.

She did a lot better than last time

though. Her check-up went good.

Dr. Madsen says she's growing and

developing great. She weight 15lb 10 oz

and is 27in long! He says it's lookin like

she's gonna be tall :)

Shayla's wedding!

2008-09-07T16:32:00.003-06:00

Last weekend was my friend, Shayla's

wedding. I got to be in her in her line.

It was a long day, but it turned out so

cute. The wedding was in Gunnison,

her back yard...

so beautiful. She decorated so cute. After

the ceremony, we had a BBQ, then the

reception started. I forgot how it

was standing in line for 2 hours, shaking

people's hands. But this time, I had

to explain to everyone that I was

Shayla's friend, Amber from nursing

school, cuz no one knew me. I felt

bad for Daniel...he had to come with me

to the whole thing so he could watch

Kaylie. I was worried she wouldn't

be good, but she was really good,

and Daniel was fine.

Kaylie and I chillin on the grass.

She loved my flowers. Only

one was still connected to the

stem by the end of the night.
Congrats Shayla, Jarrett and Ryder!!!!

Quick update...

2008-09-03T17:45:00.008-06:00

Ever since I first found out I was
having a girl, we've been
talking about wether or not
we would get her ears
peirced. I've always been
for it, but Daniel was the
one holding back. Well a
few weeks ago, we were up
north at the mall and I got
brave and decided to do it!
Yes, she did cry and yes, it
was really sad. But she was fine
after about 10 min. She's
never acted like they bother
her.

So it's been forever since I've blogged!!!
So much has been going on...Kaylie is
getting HUGE! She's 5 months old now.
She doesn't have any teeth, but I'm
expecting one any day. She rolls over
and loves her baby food and cereal!
(Still no bottle-we're done trying that!)
She loves to play with her toys,

especially the ones that make noise

and sing to her.

She is such a happy baby. Really,

she is smiling all the time. It's

so much fun being a mom. :)

Wave Pool!

2008-07-19T11:33:00.006-06:00

We went to the wave pool last

weekend with Maxi, Ash and Sky.

They came to visit for the weekend,

and we had a blast! Kaylie loved the

water. She just sat there and kicked

and played around.

Ashlyn had so much fun.

Maxi is such a good mom! She was
out there with her girls, having just
as much fun as they were.

She's such a cutie!

1st 4-wheeler ride

2008-07-18T16:03:00.011-06:00

One of the things I love about being a

mom is experiencing all the "firsts"

with Kaylie! Almost everything we do

is a first for Kaylie. This was about 3

weeks ago when we went to Blanding

for a visit. My family was going

4 wheeling and I didn't want to miss out,

but I was worried how well Kaylie

would do. She loved it! She was so

good and acted like she just loved

being out!
We stopped to have some lunch, and

Daniel decided Kaylie looked

pretty good sitting there on the back

of the 4 wheeler. She just sat there and

looked all around. Daniel carved Kaylie's name

in a tree with the year. It'll be cool

to go back up there when she's older

and show her.

Home Sweet Home

2008-06-27T21:09:00.003-06:00

This is our house that Daniel built. We started last July and finished this March, just before Kaylie was born. We built it as a "spec" house, which means we planned on selling it when it was complete. It's a great investment and a good way to make some good money. So, most times when people do this, they move into the house for awhile until it sells. I was totally stoked to move into a new house with a new baby. Well, the whole time we were building, this guy kept coming by and asking if it was for sell. Anyway, he ended up buying it before it was done, which means we didn't get to move in :( . It's such a nice house. This picture doesn't do it justice. I love the front entry way and the timber truce. The inside is amazing. Once they got the cabinets in, I couldn't go in anymore. It just made me cry, cause it was supposed to be my house, at least for awhile. Daniel totally built it himself. His dad helped a ton, but we didn't sub it out, he built it! I'm so proud of him. Who just decides to build a house and figures out how to do it?! When I ask him how in the heck be built a house, he says, "You just do it." So yea, I'm still in a tiny 2 bedroom apt, watching the family move into my house. It's been way hard, but I just have to remember we made good money, so I guess it was worth it.

HELP!!

2008-06-22T21:03:00.000-06:00

Ok, I need some serious help here. As you can see, I have 4 DIFFERENT bottles here. Kaylie won't take any of them! I have spent so much time pumping milk, storing it, trying to feed her a bottle, and it's all a waste of time! I love breast feeding, but wow, I need a little break sometimes! I just got the one on the far right last week off the internet for like $20. I thought it was a great investment. All the reviews on it said it was great for babies who breast feed and won't take a bottle. I was so pumped when it arrived....then I tried it and wanted to cry.When we try to give her the bottle, Daniel does it, thinking she'll take it better from him. We tried for 2 hours the other day. I think all 3 of us were about to loose it! Her problem seems to be that she won't latch on. She just plays with it and moves it around in her mouth. So....if anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE help me out! I need some advice.

2008-06-14T15:45:00.000-06:00

2 months = 4 shots

2008-06-07T22:07:00.000-06:00

Kaylie turned 2 months old on May 22nd.
She had to get her immunizations. I was
not looking forward to this day. I am
ok with giving kids shots, but to see
my little Kaylie get 4 of them was so
sad!

This is after it was all said and
done. She cried so hard, she had
tears and was all hot and sweaty.
It was horrible. My pediatrician
is awesome (he's the one who gives
the shots) and made sure I was
ok with it all. She looked up at
me with the saddest eyes, wondering
why I was letting this happen to her.

Good thing she has lots of meat on
those thighs. She got 2 shots in
each thigh.

This is when we got home. She
slept a lot and just wanted her
mom. This was not a fun day :(

PICTURES!!

2008-05-22T18:27:00.000-06:00

We had family pics done last week. It was quite the adventure! We had to stop half way through the session so I could feed her. She wasn't too sure about it all, but I think we got some decent ones,considering she didn't cooperate too well.

I wasn't sure where to get the pics done. There is a local photographer here in Price that we thought about going to. I had heard aot of good things about Kiddie Kandids, but just the drive up north, making sure Kaylie was fed and happy at the right time seemed like a huge hassle. Anyway, we decided to go to Kiddie Kandids and I'm so glad we did! They turned out so cute. It was so much fun!!

Cute babes!

2008-05-20T17:50:00.000-06:00

We went up north and decided
Kaylie needed some new clothes

so we went to Old Navy and had

so much fun. I LOVE shopping for her.

There are so many cute girl clothes

I decided the weather was getting

warmer and we'd be hittin the wave

pool here in Price pretty soon, so I

found her a stinkin' cute bikini. She's

gonna be flaunting those rolls and I'm

so excited. I also bought her some cute

tank tops, capris and so much more.

We had a blast!

When we got home, I was cooking

dinner while Daniel took care of

Kaylie. I didn't hear them for

awhile, so I went to see what

they were up to. This is what I

found. They were crashed out

on the bed, enjoying the lovely

swamp cooler. I guess I wore

them out with all my shopping!

1st "real" smile :)

2008-05-14T17:11:00.001-06:00

Wow what a cutie! The past few days Kaylie has been smiling in the mornings. This morning was her best smile. Daniel had just gotten her out of her crib (yes, she's still sleeping in her crib! Yay!) and was playing with her. I don't know how he managed to get a picture at the right time, but it's dang cute. She's starting to "coo" and is a lot more active with her arms and legs. She kicks her legs so much. I am beginning to think she's going to kick off all those rolls on her legs :)

Fun times

2008-05-09T16:44:00.000-06:00

We had Kaylie blessed last Sunday. Both our families came. It was so awesome to have them there to support us.

We got Kaylie a pad to lay on with toys above her. She loves it! She's just starting to touch the toys and make them rattle. She will lay there for hours and just stare at them. She had played so hard, she fell asleep. It was so cute!

Kaylie had been sleeping in our in her bassinet since she was born.My pediatrician told me to keep her in there until she is 6 months old. But I would wake up everytime she made a noise. She likes to grunt and make all sorts of noises while she is sleeping, so Daniel and I weren't sleeping very good. So...we decided to just try putting her in her crib. The frist night, it was really sad. I felt so bad for her, being in there all alone! Her room is just across the hall from ours, so she's not too far. I just felt so bad! She did soooo good. She has a mobile on her crib. She totally loves it! It's got little jungle animals and it makes all sort of noises and has lights. So she is now officially sleeping in her own room. I hear about kids sleeping with their parents until they are toddlers, so I'm pretty excited we will not be one of them. We are all sleeping much better now. She's getting on really good, consistent schedule, which is awesome! I can't believe how big she's getting. By the way, last week I had her weighed and she weighs 10lb 8oz! She's almost gained 3 lbs

since she was born!!

HUSBAND TAG!!

1. What is his name? Daniel Curtis Mower

3. Who said I love you first? He did. We were sitting on his couch just talking and he randomly said it. I was so surprised.
4. Who is taller? He is by about 4 inches.
5. Who is smarter? I think he is, because he built a house. Who can do that?? There is so much math and crap involved.
6. Who is more sensitive? Definatley me, especially during these "post-partum" days.
7.Who does the laundry? I do, but he'll change it or finish it up. I seem to always end up folding all the clothes though.
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. It's right by Kaylie's bassinet.
9. Who pays the bills? I do. Otherwise, they wouldn't get paid!

11. What meals do you cook together? Dinner
12. Who is more stubborn? I think I am.

19. Guilty pleasures? Chips. He would eat a bag everyday if I bought them.
20. How did you meet? At the BDAC (the gym at the college here in Price). He asked me where I was from and just started talking to me. He got my number and we hung out that night. We pulled an all nighter, then I went to clinicals the next day. There's no way I could do that now days! We hung out everyday after that, and the rest is history!! :)
21. Who asked who out first? I guess it would be him.
22. Who kissed who first? It probably was a mutal kiss.
23. Who proposed? He did, of course.
24. His best features? His smile. I know it's a cheezy answer, but I love it.
25. What is his greatest quality? He always knows when I'm being a brat or giving him attitude, and just teases me about it until I laugh and "shape up". Thanks for all you do, Dano! Love ya much!!
OK...NOW I TAG SANDI AND JACKIE!!

Back to work...UGH

2008-04-25T15:06:00.000-06:00

So I went back to work this week. Not to the hospital yet, just to Beehive, the assisted living home. My boss is awesome and lets me take Kaylie with me. Who could ask for more?? The first day, I didn't take here with me, because Daniel was home, so I figured I would leave her home with super daddy.

Work went really well. It was good to see all my residents again. I really missed them. (I also did miss the employees :) So anyway, I was there for about 3 hrs, nothing too serious. I called about every 30 min to check on my baby girl. Everything was ok, dad was holding down the fort. I got home, and was almost in tears...I missed Kaylie so much!! I didn't realize it until I came home. I could not put her down. I don't know if I could work full time and have a baby. It just might kill me. I only work 3 days a week, just for a few hours. I don't think it will be too bad. I don't know if I will go back to the hospital. I would hate to leave Kaylie for 12 hours. It would be awful.

I think Kaylie missed me as well. She cuddled and acted like she was so happy to see me! (Please don't notice my double chin in this pic

Ahh....so sweet!

First trip to Blanding

2008-04-17T12:11:00.000-06:00

We took our first trip to Blanding last weekend. I was worried how Kaylie would travel, but she slept all the way down and all the way back! I couldn't believe it.

It was our first time going to church with Kaylie. She slept the whole time! Such a good baby :)

I was trying to keep Kaylie awake because she had been sleeping all day. I wanted her to sleep good that night, so I put her on her tummy for "tummy time" because she absoutley hates it. Of course it didn't work, and she fell asleep.

First Dr. Appointment!

2008-04-09T15:42:00.000-06:00

Kaylie had her first Dr. appointment. It was DRAMA! I had to wake her up from her nap to take her. She hated being in her diaper the whole time. The PKU was awful. I was holding back the tears!! The good thing is...she weight 8lb 6 oz now!! (She was 7 lb 11 1/2 oz at birth). I was going to take pics at the Dr.'s office, but didn't even bother due to Kaylie screaming.

Daniel was so cute with Kaylie. He didn't want to put her down. Now that we're home, he's always waiting for her to wake up. Sometimes he messes with her while she's sleeping and wakes her up, then tries to tell me "she just woke up!"

More pics...

2008-03-25T20:11:00.001-06:00

KAYLIE RAE MOWER...

So...I was dead set that I would not have Kaylie on my own. I was just sure I was going to have to be induced today. Saturday at about 11:00am, I started cramping and just kinda feeling uncomftorable. I thought is this going to lead to something? It kept up and moved to my back to the point where I couldn't walk, stand, lay, sit...nothing was comftorable. It lasted about another hour. I called my awesome sister, Marci and asked her what she thought. She thought I should go in and get checked. Of course Daniel was freaking out and thought I was going to pop her out right there. Anyway...I was sure I was not going to be admitted, but sent home and told to come back when my contractions were stronger.

When I arrived at the hospital, my doctor was actually in surgery doing a c-section. The nurses hooked me up to the monitors and I was having strong contractions pretty regularly. I was in a lot of pain, mostly in my back. When my doctor was done with the c-section, he came and checked me and I was a 3. He said I could go ahead and get my epidural now if I wanted to and they would keep me. Right then I just burst into tears...mostly glad he was keeping me, but freakin scared to death of what was about to come.

I must add this minor detail...I had called my mom that morning at about 10:00 and said I feel fine today, go ahead and go 4-wheeling at Butler and I'll call if anything happens. I could not get ahold of her! I was starting to freak out. I left her messages and told her to call as soon as she could.

Back to my epidural, it went great. It didn't hurt going in and I do dare say at the moment, the guy who did it was my best friend. I did not feel a thing throughout the rest of my labor. When the nurse told me I was "complete" and ready to push, I told Daniel he better call my mom and see where she was. She was in Wellington (about 10 min away) and was hurring!

I ended up pushing for 1 hr and 15min before she came out. I was amazed that I did not feel a thing. I was just sure it was going to be the worst experience of my life...but I dare say it was awesome.

She was born at 10:22pm on March 22nd. She weighed 7 lb 11 1/2 oz and was 21 inches long! Big girl!! She has chubby cheeks, a double chin and a mullet! :) We came home yesterday, Monday. We had a good night last night. She's really cathing on to breast feeding well. My mom is here for the week, bless her heart. I couldn't do it without her.

We'll do her first bath here in awhile...I'll update later and let ya know how it went. I'll also add more pictures.

Baby update...

Just getting ready for the big day!

Ok, here's the latest with the baby....I saw the doctor yesterday. He didn't check me to see if I was dialated anymore because my contractions have totally stopped! :( He scheduled me for induction on my due date, next Tuesday. He's hoping I will go sooner, but if not, he'll start me next Tuesday. It's so weird to think I'll FOR SURE have my baby next week. I'm getting so nervous. I can't even handle it. Today Daniel and I have been getting last minute things ready in her room. We painted the letters and got them hung up. They look so good in her room.

Baby Shower!

So the shower was so much fun! It was last Tuesday. My friends from work at the hospital did it for me. They all pitched in and bought my stroller/carseat. I love it!

We had dinner and opened gifts. It wa so fun to just sit and chat with everyone. My mom, sister and grandma all came for it, so we had so much fun. I got so many cute gifts. I can't wait to use them!

Ok so here's the update on the baby deal. I am due in exactly 2 weeks! I went to the doctor today and I'm still dialated to a 2. I've been a 2 for 2 weeks now, so I was kinda disapointed I wasn't dialated more. I am getting really really nervous and sometimes wonder what I got myself into!!! Wish me luck and I'll get pics on here when she arrives!

Just getting started!

We decided to start this blogging thing that everyone is doing. This way all our family and friends can keep up to date with us and the baby! She will be here in 5 weeks, we can't wait!!
