first day at church

I decided to see how Payton would do at church today, and she did awesome! She slept the whole time. She had a cute new outfit, and I was jealous so I got a new post pregnancy outfit and shoes. I love shoes.

I just love her...

We didn't have any plans for Valentines, and we were supposed to have a showing on our house on Saturday, so we packed up the crew, (Sergeant included) and headed to Josh's parents house for the evening. Josh played xbox with his brother, and Josh's mom, Debra, and I made bracelets for baby girl Payton! Do I feel another impromptu photo session coming on? I think so.

(As you can probably tell I am still trying to figure out my D80. If anybody has any tips, or know of a good photography class, let me know)

whew! 2 posts in one day!

Payton is sleeping, so I should be too, but I don't feel like I do anything anymore but feed her, change her, rock her to sleep, then pump. Then she wakes up again and we start the whole thing over! She is so dang cute and I love her so much that I am happy to do it. Everybody keeps asking me for more pictures of her because they change so much so fast, so here are the most recent ones...

(and Sergeant just makes me laugh so I had to include him)

And on a side note I really want to go to Jamaica. That is all.

This picture is when Josh was in Korea on his mission. It sits on my desk because I think he looks so cute in it. It was scanned into the computer because he wanted to upload it to facebook or something. I think that was the side of a bus, but I am not sure. He looks so young! I like it.

I tag Heidi, Mom, Jennifer, Abby, Aubrey and Katie

Here are some more pictures of the best day ever! On our way to the hospital I was screaming in complete agony and I kept yelling to Josh that we were never going to have anymore children, and all of those people who say it is worth it are crazy. Well I know know exactly what they are talking about. I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Being a mom is amazing. Definitely something you can't try to describe or explain. The moment I saw her I loved her even more than I had when she was in my belly, and I didn't think it was possible to love her even more. It was such an overwhelming feeling. I am IN LOVE with her red hair. I really hope it stays that color. She has been here almost 6 days, and we are still trying to get a hang of this whole parenting thing. She is an amazing baby, so she makes it really easy. Before we went home Friday they told us she was a high risk jaundice, so we had to take home the lights for her to be in basically 24 hours a day. She was such a trooper though, and slept most of the time so it was easy to leave her under the lights. We had to have her blood tested again Saturday, and she had improved drastically! No more lights! She changes so much every day I never get anything done because I just want to hold and cuddle her. If you would like to come and meet her just give me a call. We love visitors!

So our beautiful baby girl is finally here! Tuesday afternoon we went to the hospital because I was having major contractions. We got there about 5pm, had the epidural by 6:30, started pushing at 12:15am, and she was born at 12:44am January 28th! She is a healthy 8lbs 15oz and 21in long. A big girl! I seriously had no idea she was going to be that big. (Especially after my water broke at the hospital and the nurse kept saying there was so much, she couldn't imagine there could still be a baby in there) I am still at the hospital now, but should be going home tomorrow. (thank you wireless internet) I have lots of fun pictures to post so check back for more updates, but you can meet Payton now.....

Well.....

Is she here yet?

NOPE!!!!

(I am fully aware of how horrible I look in this picture, but can you blame me?)

40 weeks and counting. I have removed the pregnancy ticker because the large 0 days was just mocking me. It was rude. I went to my doctors appointment today and I have STILL not progressed any. Apparently she is just happy where she is and has no intention of going anywhere else. On the bright side, they did schedule me to be induced next Monday. There is an end in sight!!!!!

Also, we put our house up for sale. I know, what the crap are we thinking. With home prices and interest rates now we figure we can get something with a lot more room closer to South Jordan, which is what we wanted all along. We aren't in any hurry, so we plan on getting what we want out of our house, and if we don't get any offers high enough, we just won't be moving! Our agent put together an awesome virtual tour you can look at online at utahrealestate.com and our MLS number is 858502.
