I guess I should tell the story of my crazy labor. It was new years eve and i was starting to feel contractions at about 10:30 pm. They we pretty far apart but nothing really prepares you for the pain of contractions. Right at Midnight I told Aric that i was going to bed because i wasn't feeling to good. Well i never really went to bed. I tossed and turned until about 3:30am the contractions started coming on harder and they were close together. So Aric and I decided that we would start timing them and see how far apart they were. They were 3mins apart for about a min. I was getting nervous cause i know when there that close that you are getting close to having the baby. So we woke my mom and my sister amy and decided to go to the hospital. I still was bairly packed for the hospital.

Then we get the hospital and i am thinking that i am going to be like a 3 or 4 dialoated, but no i am 1. I was completely surprised. So we stayed there an hour and she checked me again and there was no change. Do you know what they did. They sent me home. They told me to come back when the contractions started to get more painful and longer.

So we got home about 6 am and I tried to take a nap but my contractions where still 3 min apart for about a min. But the problem with my contractions where i was feeling all of the pain in my back. So i try to watch tv, walk around, do whatever it takes to get my mind off of the pain.

Then about 1 pm the contractions are really starting to hurt. So we did what the nurses said and came in and can you guess what i was at .... 1! still!!! The pain was getting pretty bad and i was completely exhausted cause i hadn't had any sleep for a long time. So i decided to take some morphine and they sent me home again. I finally got like 3 hours of sleep when the pain started coming again but this time when I woke up the pain was 10 times worse. I couldn't concentrate enough to stay ontop of them. I was trying to do a natural birth but the pain was pretty intense. So about 6 pm we decide that we are going to the hospital and we are staying no matter what.

We get to the hospital and by this time i have had 3 different rooms and 3 different nurses. They check me and i am finally progressing i was still only a 3. But they admit me and i had to wait till i was a 4 to get an epidural. Yes i got an epidural. i just was way to tired. Then about 12 hours later i had Ryder.

So after 33 hours of Labor, i can say it was well worth it to bring a health baby boy into this world. Aric and I are so grateful for all the love and support that we have.

we were all exhausted.

Christmas Morning

Santa Came!!!

Ryder got some little Shoes

Jerky Gun. (Aric loves jerky...me well i leave that for Aric to eat)

101 things it means to be a mom and dad

I made Aric a scrapbook of his Mission.

Aric got a new sleeping bag for back packing. He had to make sure that he fit.
I also got a Cricit Expressions. Which i think Aric secretly wanted to get too. I also got a Wheat grinder... living in Utah the is an essential.

Aric made omelets for Breakfast. YUMMMM

The few times I can get Aric to cook. Got to document it!!!

Christmas EVE

This chrismas we went over to my sisters house Tiffany. We had an amazing dinner. Dessert was a disaster. I made cream puffs but everyone all night was calling them cream flats. But they still tasted good thank goodness. I wanted to get some pictures of everyone but both of the kids where crying. For some reason christmas for Kenadee was a little traumatic. (Tiff... you need to post those pic up of kenadee and Santa) They are hillarious. But we eventually go happy faces in the end.

Only like one week to go.

Santa coming tonight!!!

New car.... to us The Dirty-E-30

So I don't know know if you remember our other car that Aric drove but it was an early nineties ford escort. When Aric and I lived in Spanish Fork we spray painted it camo. Well for those you who remember.... we got it for a few hundred bucks. Well we decided to Upgrade. To an 89 BMW. I must say I don't mind riding in it... as for the escort I hated to even be near the car. This is Aric new prize possession. For those who know Aric he is a BMW Tech and him and his buddies always talk about how they can make this car better. I just roll my eyes and laugh. I am glad he likes his car, it was affordable and he can fix any BMW out there. But he is obsessed with it. He wants to take it everywhere we go but is good because it is so hard to get into his truck now that i am prego. Aric has been bugging me for a week to put pictures up. He always makes fun of blogging but he like to show off things too. HAHA

decorating the tree

We finally got our tree up after a long construction. We finished our flooring and now we have our beautiful fake tree up. (thanks caroline for letting us borrow it)

Aric thinks its weird that we have Santa on the top of our tree. Come on I know where my priority are at. PRESENTS PRESENTS!!!! ( JK)

All of the ornaments are from my loving mother. Thanks for passing them down!!!

Look how awesome the floor looks underneath that tree.

I am due in 2 weeks.

the before and working on it....

Before.....

Here is a close up of what the flooring looks like!

After...

Aric is still faithfully working on it as i am doing this blog. Its 9:30 at night. I love this man. I am so glad that he is talented enough to do anything around the house. He has been working so hard to make sure that we get it done before the baby comes. But I help out too. I fixed our toilet upstairs all by myself. I keep asking if I can help with the floor but Aric thinks it will put me into labor if i do. I guess i stuck with fixing the toilet and cleaning house.

Unfortunately there is still tons of cleanup to do... but man doesn't the floor look amazing!!!!
