On December 27th at 5:22 p.m. we got to meet our beautiful little girl! She weighed 8lbs 10 oz and is 20 in long!! For measuring small my entire pregnancy, we were sure shocked at what a chunk she is! She is such a sweetie, and we love having her in our lives.

At four o'clock that morning my water broke so Josh and I packed up and headed to the hospital. When I got there I was 2cm and 80% effaced. Around 8 o'clock there was still no change, so we waited another two hours... Even then I was only a 3. Two more hours passed with no change.. I had been having contractions all morning, and they got to be very painful so I got an epidural which helped a lot, but only worked on one side at a time! It was very frustrating.. I was also very sick and throwing up. So I was pretty miserable by the time my Dr said they could FINALLY start me on pitocin. Within a couple of hours I was a 5 and within one more hour I was a 10! They had me do an hour of rest and descend and then told me it was time to push. My nurse said I would be pushing for 1-3 hours, but within 10 minutes I was holding my little girl! It was such an amazing experience, I can't believe I did it! My Dr was out of town the 26th-28th, so I had the on call Dr. Which made me really nervous, but he turned out to be really nice. Plus Josh and our parents were so sweet and supportive the entire time, I don't know what I would have done without them!

Merry Christmas!

We had a very white Christmas this year! We thought we might be snowed in, but thanks to my sister and brother in law we were able to make it out to see family. Josh and I went to his parents house on Christmas Eve and to my parents house on Christmas for dinner and to exchange presents with family. It was so fun to be able to spend time with both families! Christmas morning we went to my sisters house and played in the snow. Phil built a huge jump with his tractor so everyone had a blast sledding and snowboarding.

Christmas Morning

Happy Holidays!

So much has happened in the last couple of months! Josh and I moved, so its taken a while to get settled in. We found a cute apartment in Saratoga Springs that we love. Its close to both of our families, school, and work. so we really like the location! I got a job working from home, that I am so excited about! We feel so blessed that I will be able to stay home with our baby and work. Josh will be starting school at UVU in January. He will be going full time, so he will be really busy! He is working towards getting his bachelors in Criminal Justice. Then he will apply to law school. He is so excited, and I am so proud of him for working so hard!

Josh and I were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on December 4th. It was such an amazing day! We have been waiting so long and are so happy we could finally go through the temple together. It was so nice to have our family there, thanks for all your love and support!

I had two baby showers in November, it was so fun to see family and friends. Both of the showers were so fun, thank you to everyone who helped! We are ready to have this baby! These last two weeks are so tough.. I went into emergency labor and delivery on my 21st birthday because of some complications, but everything turned out fine! Then I actually went into labor two days ago, but they gave me a shot to calm my contractions because I wasn't progressing quick enough. So I got a taste of what this will feel like and I'm pretty scared.. 3 hours of painful contractions and thats all I need! My Dr said he thought I would have called him later that night, but the contractions calmed down a lot. So we were kinda disappointed after going through all the excitment! I am sooo uncomfortable so I can't wait till she comes. My Dr said he didn't think I'd make it to my next appointment ( On Wednesday ) But ya never know! Cross your fingers!
