I spoke TWO soon!




So maybe I jumped the gun a little in venting on my blog a little too soon. We had our little boy only two days after my "emotional unload" and yes............Now Sophi shares the same birthday as her little brother Cash! I can't believe it, out of 365 days in a year, they were born exactly 2 years apart to the date. The similarities were crazy, they were both 20 inches long, and Cash only weighed an ounce more than Sophi. It seems that 10am also seems to be a consistent time with both of them. My water broke with Sophia at 10:00 am and with Cash my contractions were coming 4 min apart at home starting at 10:00 am. I called my docs office just to double check how close my contractions were suppose to be in order to head to the hospital cause I couldnt remember. I had a 1:45 appt scheduled that day, but after I talked to the nurse, she asked if we could make it in at 10:35 and she'd have the doctor just check me and see whats up. So we packed up all our bags, loaded Sophia and headed to the office. She checked me and I was at 5 cm and 100%. She asked if we packed everything or if we had to head home because she didnt suggest taking too long heading over to the hospital. We got all checked in and situated in the delivery room about 11:15 or 11:30. I hung out for about an hour with my contractions, had the epidural about 12:30, told them I was feeling the need to push about 12:45ish or 1:00 after my epidural. The nurses asked me what I was at when I went to the office at 10:35, told them, they asked if I was checked again by anyone, told them no, so they checked again. The nurse was a little in shock that she thought I was at 9 cm, so she asked another nurse to check and that nurse said I was already a 10 and we needed to get the doctor there. Needless to say the doctor rushed in and delivered Cash at 1:33. Nuts! I never expected things to go so fast. Good thing I didnt hang out at home much longer timing my contractions. I might have had him in the hospital hallway or something! Things are great thought, hes a very good baby and we feel blessed for a second time with a great child. Eventually I'll have time later to post more pictures, but this is all I have easy access to at the time. We're postponing Sophi's birthday celebration to Monday the 8. So I'll have a post hopefully shortly after. Hope you enjoy!

Are you KIDDING me!


I have to say, I have NEVER been so frustrated, anxious, and impatient all at the same time! I know I'm not like some women who go over their due date (lets wait and see) but I'm going to be 39 weeks this coming Friday and I've been prepared to have this baby since I did the whole preterm labor thing at 34 weeks!

I dont know what this little guy is thinking! I'm convincing myself (for my sanity) that he's waiting a little longer because he's hanging out with his little girl cousin in heaven (Ben and Megans) and having SO much fun that he can't stand to head down here and leave her! Right?!

Wish me luck that this is the week! But lets skip over Wednesday which is Sophis birthday, I'd feel bad if they had to share the same date.

Dance BABY Dance!


Lately I've been obsessed with watching "So you think you can dance". I know just about everybody else is already on the bandwagon, but I've also been watching reruns on MTV of older seasons. I just had to post a couple of my favorite dances from this last season! I totally hate that there's only ONE winner! Some of them should win in couples and then be forced to date and marry! Thats what I think should happen. Look at me, I'm wanting to arrange marriages! Seriously though some of these couples should stick together and tour! I'd go see them for sure! Also, I'm stuck on watching "Americas Best Dance Crew". Its a must see! I still can't believe Fanny pack got cut last week!

As far as a family update. I get to stop my medication tomorrow (saturday), if I'm lucky I'll have the baby soon after stopping it. Knowing my luck I'll probably carry for at least another 2 weeks! Lets hope not, I'm pretty uncomfortable at this point.

Alright, Spencer and I are having a hard time figuring out what to name our soon to be here child! So I thought I'd post the top 3 that we have been agreeable on. Please give me some feedback, I'm fine with someone not likeing the name and telling me why, that helps in the process, but dont worry, if we do name our child the name you didnt care for.............I won't be the least bit concerned.

No more MULLET!

Yes, my daughter has had a slight mullet for the past 4 or 5 months, I've been working on letting her sides catch up with the rest of her hair and in the meantime, neglected the back of her hair that continued to grow. So I took some scissors to her hair after church last Sunday and "Wallah!" No more little miss mullet! She was a little shy at first as the two of us "oooh'd and ahhhh'd" over her. But shes looking so grown up to us now!

Just a little behind.......

I am well aware that I am not the best at updating my blog. It's taken me forever to get pictures off of my camera and on to the computer. Can you believe I had over 450 pictures to download! So here is my attempt to update you through pictures! Yeah!

This is Sophi in May, she is obsessed with making sure every doll she puts on a chair is lined up alongside her! She gets this from me. I have a picture just like it of me when I was about her age. Must be some type of obsessive compulsive disorder.
This is Sophi in May at the Henry Doorly Zoo. They have a new butterfly exhibit and it was a huge hit with her. We went with my friend Shani and her little boy Reilly. It was a fun day! She kissed just about every little fake animal you could sit on at the flower gardens.
Reilly wasnt a fan of the rhino!

A few days after the zoo, I noticed we had a new baby bird that had landed on our deck, he was just learning to fly so he was quite unsteady. Sophi was so excited and started offering the bird her morning cereal!
Now on to a home improvement project.......... I have been so excited to get things ready for my new little baby boy. I finished painting his room the end of May right before we left for out little vacation. It turned out really cute! Its kind of hard to not feel overwhelmed with the stripes in this picture because I could only get so far back with the camera, but trust me when your in the room, it doesnt feel that way. Yeah for little boys!






For those of you who dont already know, Sophia has a hard time giving someone a "thumbs up". She understands the concept that a finger is suppose to be pointing up from your hand, but she turns it into a set of "guns" pointed at the ceiling.
Its to DIE for!
To add to her obsessive compulsive disorders, when she "puts her babies to bed" they ALWAYS go face down, just like she sleeps. She ran out of her room one day and said "Daddy come see", Spencer found her entire bed covered with every last doll and stuffed animal facing down on her bed! Another thing to DIE for!
That wraps up our month of May! I'll post June too, it was a very busy month!

I'm BACK!

Yes! I'm posting again! I know it takes me a while. First things first! My wonderful hubby got a job promotion about 2 weeks ago! Yeah! He will be opening a new Best Buy on L Street in Millard as the Customer Experience Manager (CES). He has been busy these last couple weeks interviewing people for his department. The only downer to this little promotion is that he has to train in Minnesota the week we had tickets to go to California for vacation. So, I"m in the process of figuring out what to do with my ticket! Who wants to pass up an opportunity to lay on the beach in San Clemente for a week! Although the complications, I'm so proud of his enthusiasum for work and "moving on up". He really does love the company and being friendly with people! Good Job Spencer!

As for whats new, well, I think I've gotten Spencer set on some dates to paint the outside of the house, this Saturday and Monday on Memorial Day! I'm really excited! I'm picked up some paint myself, I'm planning on repainting Sophi's room, and the baby's room. I'm always trying to spice things up a bit. Hey, when you probably will be spending about 3 months straight in a nursery with a newborn, you might as well enjoy the 4 walls your staring at! ;)
I'm super excited for SUMMER! I've already been garage saleing for baby boy stuff, and I'm ready to hit the pool and catch some sun! I picked up Sophia some dress up clothes at a garage sale, she things its kinda fun to dress up with moms help. I'm thinking it might be short lived until she gets a little bigger. The things she really enjoys are the crowns and wands, probably because its the easiest for her to put on herself. She's also been ready to jump into Grandma and Papas pool for the past week. Its been too cold but this week I think will be a great week for swimming! She's obsessed with waving the water hose all over the backyard!
