Zaiden Thai - 3 Weeks

2 Week Checkup

We took Zaiden for his two week checkup yesterday, the doctor says he looks great. Zaiden obviously takes after his dad in how much he likes to eat because he now weighs 7 lb 14 oz, he has already gained 1 lb 6 oz. Here are some updated pictures of the little man.

Zaiden is finally here. He is so adorable, and we are so in love with him. He melts my heart everytime I look at him.

Here is a little summary of how the delivery went. I had lost hope that he was going to come early or even on time and thought he would be here late but he surprised us and came a day early. I had been out shopping with my mom on Saturday morning and then took the dogs on a walk, throughout the walk I had begun feeling slight pains, but didn't think much of it. Once I got home they continued and became more and more uncomfortable. Danny didn't think it was really the start of labor and neither did I. But after a couple more hours of contractions at home, and I could not take the pain anymore we decided to go to the hospital. I was in so much pain, but did not want to get there and have them send me home. We got to the hospital around 4:30 on Saturday, and they decided to keep me and gave me the epidural right away, I felt SO much better after that. I had to have antibiotics for four hours before I delivered so we just waited for time to pass. The doctor then came in and broke my water and I started pushing. We had a slight scare with his heart beat dropping they were going to do a c-section, but it came back up, and after an hour of pushing he was here.
He arrived at 10:31 pm, weighing 6 lbs and 8 oz, 20.5 inches long. Here are some pictures so far:

We were finally in our room about 1 am, it had been an exhausting day, but I still did not sleep very well. We both could not believe that he was actually here and he was ours.

Sunday in the hospital.

We spent two nights in the hosptial, and the second night he slept in the nursery so we could try and get some sleep, and they brought him to me when he was hungry. It was very nice to get some rest before we came home.

Here he is Monday morning for his first car ride and heading home.
Things have been going pretty good at home as we are adjusting to our new lives as parents, Danny has had the week off of work and it has been so nice to have him home with me.

We have had to go back to the hospital the past three days to get his blood drawn because his billirubin level was a little elevated, but just got word that everything is good now and he doesn't have to go for photo therapy or get his blood drawn anymore.

Thats all for now, I will post more pictures later.

Almost Time

Well time has gone by so fast lately. I had baby showers for Baby Z, Thanksgiving, a new nephew, my birthday and now Christmas is about here plus I am about two weeks away from my due date, so I wanted to finally update my blog.

Brynn gave me and Zaiden a shower with some of my friends and we had a great time except I forgot to take any pictures. Then my mom also gave me a shower for my family, so thank you to everyone that came to my showers and for all the great stuff we got for Zaiden.

This year for Thanksgiving, my parents were out of town so I cooked my first dinner, we had my sister and her family over and Johnny and Sara, along with my cousin and aunt. Dinner actually went really well and we had a good time.

This is the only picture I got of us with Jess

We also have another new nephew Kain Quinlan, who was almost born on my birthday but ended up just a couple hours before. I love the fact that there will be three little boys in the family all within four months of each other.

Now we just have Christmas to look forward too, I haven't done any shopping so I am little behind. But we do have everything we need for Zaiden and are so anxious for him to get here, we were hoping he might surprise us and come early but its not looking like it will happen. I am not progressing and all. Thats all for now.

Brody Briton

We now have a nephew from my side of the family. My sister had her baby, Brody Briton on September 21st, he was 6 lbs 6 oz and 20.5". Lex and him are doing great, and everybody is enjoying having a baby in the family. It makes us excited and anxious for our little guy to arrive in three months.

Life So Far...

Wow, so its been a long time since I updated this blog.

So the first big news is that we ARE PREGNANT!!!! Right now I am almost 17 weeks, an due on January 3rd. We decided to go to Fetal Fotos cause I couldn't wait any longer to find out the sex. And we are having a BOY!!!!!!!

Our family will be full of little boys. My cousin has her two boys, my sister is having Brody in September and Danny's brother is having a boy in December and then ours in January.

We also celebrated our one year wedding anniversary on July 12th. We went for a drive up the canyon and on a hike up Donut Falls. It has been a great year, with many more to come. I love you babe!

Me at the falls.

My cousin, Lisa and her husband Preston, were able to adopt a baby boy at the end of May. His name is Perry. He is almost two months old now, and gets cuter everyday. We are so lucky to have him in our family, we love him very much. Here are some pictures the day after they brought him home.

We also recently golfed in my work Golf Tournament. I hadn't golfed in at least ten years, and this was Danny's first time. We also golfed with Lindsee, who I work with, and her husband Scott. We had a lot of fun and didn't come in last, thanks to Scott.
