Halloween!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! It's so much funner when you have a kid to dress up. I can't wait until next year when he can actually walk and go door to door. I was a bee, Collin was a warewolf, and Jayden was a pumpkin this year! We went trick or treating with my sister and her kids. It was a lot of fun to see Ty and KJ run to each door. KJ was trying so hard to keep up with Ty and his other friends he went with. It was so cute! It was a lot of fun and we got some cute pictures! Hope your guys Halloween was fun also! Oh and I was going to ask if any of you have had trouble with your background for your blog? When I pull my blog up the background wont show up and I can't even see the text or anything. So I can't get on to see anybody else blog cause I can't see where to click! It's really annoying. I tried to delete it and put a new background in but it wont work! If any of you have had this problem or a suggestion please let me know. Thanks!

Halloween

Recent Pics of Jayden

It's been a long time since I last posted anything so I thought I would do an update real quick while Jayden is napping! Jayden is 3 months old now and doing good! Time goes by so fast when your busy. Jay is sleeping through the nights every now and then and other nights he can be a little stinker! Hopefully he will start to get on a good schedule. He is smiling all the time now and is lifting his head up pretty good. When he's on his back he will scrunch up like hes doing an ab workout and lift his head. haha. He's a pretty strong boy and hes very active. He is a ton of fun to be around! Especially now that he can actually see us and smile. There are definitely hard days though. Being a mom is hard and takes A LOT of patience. I am learning a lot. It is sooo worth it though. Well I will try harder to keep my blog updated better hopefully!

Jayden and Labor

Jayden and Labor!

Jayden is finally here and has been for 2 weeks now! It just took me forever to post it! Babies sure keep you busy and occupied. Jayden arrived on June 8th at 1:07 a.m. He was 8 lbs. 12 oz and 21 inches long! He was a pretty big boy! My labor went really well. On june 7th I went to the doctor for a check and I was still stuck at a 3 so I was pretty bummed out cause here I was at the doctor on my due date and I was still at a 3! Well the doctor must have done something cause I went into labor that night around 5 p.m. Went to the hospital and I was dialated to a 4 plus. I was so happy it wasnt a false labor! As soon as the contractions were getting a little uncomfortable I told her to get an epidural in me! ha. Epidurals are amazing! I wouldn't do it any other way. Labor was so fun for me. I prob did like 8 sets of pushes and he was out. It was the most amazing experience ever. Collin did really well. I thought he would maybe get a little sick but he was all about it! We are so grateful that he is here and that he is healthy and strong. I never knew how hard it is to take care of a baby but its soo worth it! We love this little guy to death. He came out with tons of blonde hair! All the nurses said its unusual to get a baby with blonde hair! So anytime someone sees him we know they will comment on his hair. haha. It's one of my favorite parts about him. Well here is some pictures finally! Sorry it has taken me so long to post!

1 More Week!

I can't believe the moment is almost here! My due date is actually June 7th instead of June 5th. I swear my doctor said the 5th but I asked him the other day and he said it was actually the 7th. Oh well at least it's not that big of change! I am so excited to get this baby boy out and to hold him in my arms. These last 3 weeks have seemed like eternity and I am soo ready. I have probably had my hospital bag packed and ready to go for a month! haha. Its starting to collect dust! I went to the doctor Friday and he said I was dialated to a 3 and like 80 percent effaced. I could be stuck at a 3 forever though. I have learned to not get to excited cause things could stay exactly where they are for quite a while. He stripped my membranes to hopefully help labor come along. So I could really have this baby at any time and then he could be overdo. You just don't know and I hate that! Ha. I think I have learned a ton of patience being pregnant. If I have learned anything it's to not get to excited and think you might have the baby early. I have given my hopes up a ton of times doing that! Instead I am just looking forward to my actual due date. So that is the latest with me! I will try to keep you updated as best I can!

2 More Weeks!

If you can't tell I am getting really anxious to get this baby boy out! I went to the Dr. today and with high hopes I was thinking it would be great if I was dialated to a 3 or more. Or of course the Dr. telling me he could maybe come this weekend or something. Well I am only dialated to a 2. Which is still pretty good! At least it's progressing every time I go. I am also thinned out more which is good. The Dr. said this is really good for being a 1st time mom. So I just need to be patient! I figure that Jayden will come when he is ready and I just have to wait it out. My sister came about 2 weeks early with her kids and my mom came early with us to so I was hoping I could maybe have the chance of coming early to! My sister told me today to enjoy these last 2 weeks because once they are here sometimes you want to put them back in! Haha. Isn't that the truth? I think it's hard being pregnant but once they are here and you have this little baby to care for it's going to be a lot harder. But so worth it! Of course I want him here asap but I am going to really try and enjoy these last 2 weeks. Anyways I go to the Dr. again next Friday so I will keep you updated!

3 More Weeks!

So I have 3 more weeks until my due date which is June 5th! I have to admit though that this last month is seeming to go by sooo slow! It's probably because I am crossing off every day that goes by on my calendar and pretty much counting down the hours until June 5th! Haha. I need to find a big hobby that I could do or something so time will go faster. Any ideas??? I am hoping for Jayden to come at least a week early but I kind of have a feeling that he wont! We will see though. I went to the doctor today and I am dialated to a 1 and a half and a little more thinned out then I was last time, which was 50 to 60 percent. Everything seems to be going great though! My doctor says he thinks Jayden is about 7 pounds already! If he keeps gaining that half pound that they do every week I could be in trouble! Haha. It would be crazy to have a 9 pound baby! I'm guessing he will weigh somewhere high in the 8's. We will see....Well the next time I write I might already have a baby! If not I will try to keep you updated!

Baby Shower Pics!

I finally put some pictures up of my baby shower! My friend Jen took pictures for me with her nice camera! She is the one that did my maternity pics to! Thanks Jen! I got a lot of great stuff and got to see a lot of family and friends I haven't seen in a while! Thanks to everyone!

Thanks!

I had my baby shower on Saturday and I just wanted to thank everyone who came and supported me! You guys are such great friends and it was so good to catch up and visit with some people I haven't seen in forever! Thanks to my friend Julie and my sister Brittany for doing such a great job putting it together! It turned out perfect. Love you guys!

Maternity Pictures!

Last Saturday I went and got my maternity pictures done! My sister has a really good friend who does photography and she did such an awesome job and she hooked us up as far as prices go! If any of you are interested it is called Finnegan Photography. You can go look at her blog as well. It's Finneganphotography.blogspot.com. She is awesome! I am having a hard time choosing which ones to blow up. So let me know what you guys think! Try not to look at my double chin in some of them though! haha

7 Months & Jayden's Room!

So I am finally 7 months now! I hope time will go by a lot faster now that I am in my last trimester. I think once April is here it will really hit me! I am getting to that point where I can't fall asleep at nights cause all I can think about is birth and how I hope everything will go OK! I am also very excited though. probably more excited then scared! Anyways, I have been meaning to post pics of Jayden's room for a while even though we are not fully finished with it yet! We got the crib and changing table over spring break so we got that all put together pretty fast since we were both off! The black hutch I got from my sister's mother in law for $20! I got pretty lucky with that! The cute pillow that say's Jayden's name on it is what Collin's mom made! She is sooo crafty and has been spoiling Jayden already. It's her 1st grand baby to so she said of course she is going to spoil him:) The giraffe hamper we found at T.J. Max for like $30. I just had to get it! Collin is painting the grass on the wall right now even though we aren't supposed to paint in our apartment! haha! We just figure we can paint white over it when we have to move. So shhh don't tell! haha. Collin isn't done with the grass yet but getting close. We are planning on getting this cute monkey decal swinging from a branch and putting it over the polka dot bed in his room. So I will have to post more pics when the room is finally complete! This is the funnest part for me. I love to decorate! I hope it all turns out the way I planned! Let me know what you guys think!
