New Baby Pics of Aiden!!

Cassidy Miller took these fantabulous pictures of my growing baby boy!!! I can't believe how fast they grow! I can't even believe he used to fit inside my belly!! I bet you guys thought I would never post again ugh??? Seriously, life has been so busy! Chase is working in Las Vegas and only gets to come home on the weekends - sometimes on Wednesdays. I am back to work and school full time, and playing "single" mom during the week!! I sometimes feel like I don't have a minute to breathe! But we are survivors and my beautiful baby makes it all worth it! Thanks Cass for taking these! You are so talented!!

San Diego Vacation!

We had a blast in San Diego / Southern California this weekend! We went to Seaworld, Coronado Island and the Huntington Beach! We had so much fun! And surprisingly Aiden did really well! He was so beat when we got home he nearly slept all day! We loved the Shamu and Sea Lion shows at Seaworld and our new dream home destination spot is in Coronado island....the smallest homes are only 1.2 million dollars!!!!! (Pocket change!)  But the area is spectacular!!

CAMPING IN PANGUITCH

IT WAS SO NICE TO GET OUT OF THE HEAT AND COOL OFF NEAR PANGUITCH LAKE!!! MY LITTLE BROTHER BEN AND HIS COLLEGE ROOMATES, MY DAD AND MY LITTLE BROTHER JOE, MY LITTLE SISTER AND HER HUSBAND ALL CAME. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! WE TOOK THE BOAT OUT TO WAKEBOARD AND THEN THE BOYS WENT OUT FISHING. AIDEN HAD A BLAST! THE WEATHER WAS AWESOME! CAN'T WAIT TO GO AGAIN!!

4th of July and Swimming

We have been having fun in the sun! We spent the 4th of July in Vegas, there are a ton of parades and fun family activities. We went to the Hoover Dam with Chase's family! Jerzi loves having a baby cousin to play with close by.  It was a blast!! Aiden did really good!  It is so dang hot everywhere we go! Thank goodness for pools! Aiden loves the water already! Chase loves taking him in the water.....(just not for too long yet!)

JUNE 12TH, 2009

TIME: 8:35 AM

WEIGHT: 7 LBS 7 OZ

HEIGHT: 19 INCHES

SO...........

I finally, with much anticipation, went into labor at 5:30pm right on my due date (June 11). Chase was working in Vegas and was anxiously awaiting my call. I stayed in observation for 1 hour to ensure I really was in labor before Chase could start driving home. He finally arrived in our hospital room #319 at about 8:30pm. I was dilated to a five at this point, but my water had still not broke. Dr Thompson had to finally brake my water at about 9:00pm. I was dilated to only a six at that point. As soon as he broke my water, contractions started getting REALLY hard. I decided to get an epidural (the best decision ever) when I was dilated to a 7. At 4:00am I was finally complete!!! 

We began pushing at 4:00am with the nursing staff. NO SUCCESS! We finally had to stop when Aiden's heart rate began to decelerate as I would push! (Very Scary). Dr Thompson came at about 5:30 and we began AGAIN pushing. NO SUCCESS!! It was now 7:30am. You ask why no success???  

Aiden's poor little head was turned and stuck on my ischial spine. Apparently they are very bony! Even with the doctors hands trying to turn him over, there was no room for him to budge. For 3 hours Chase and I could see the top of our babies head, with no further progress. The last hour, every push I made would decrease his heart rate (because his head was turned and his neck was getting kinked), and when I would stop pushing he would regress backwards (because my ischial spines were so prominent). 

The decision to take him C-Section was made at 7:30am. Dr. Ott assisted Dr. Thompson with the C-Section (and made an impecable flawless incision very low, near the pubis). Chase got to gown up in the OR and w

atch as our beautiful boy arrived at 8:35am. His poor head was so bruised and scratched from my spines, the Doctor

s hands, and the horrific birth canal, but he was perfect to us!! 

When he first arrived..........

Sorry I have not updated any more pregnancy pictures!!! No baby yet!!! Dang it! Chase and I tried really hard to have him this weekend!!! Here is proof that you will not go into labor until the baby is ready...... this was our weekend:

Friday: Got my membranes stripped for the THIRD time at Dr Thompsons office, then Chase and I hiked the bloomington mountain (widow maker) behind Chase's parents house. Also tried "nipple stimulation" for 2 hours before Chase got home from work and then me and Chase "got busy".

Nothing happened!

Saturday: Woke up at six in the morning and went on a bumpy, roller coaster four wheeler ride, then me and Chase "got busy"  again. I also strattled and bounced on a medicine ball for a while at Megan Andersen's house. That night I drank Castro Oil.

Nothing happened, except a very sick stomach!!! 

Very disappointed I do not have a baby yet...........hopefully he comes soon!!!! Still fours days till the official due date!

SUPERCROSS SLC 2009!

We just got back from Supercross 2009, we usually go to the finals in Vegas, but since supercross was coming to Utah we decided to take advantage! We went with a bunch of our friends from SLC and St George! It was such a good race, although James Stewart won, which disappointed Chase a bit, it was still a good battle to watch!!! We stayed at my parents house in West Jordan and were able to see our good friends Brady Maw, &  Sean and Meghan. Rawdee and Rachel drove up with us, and Karyann and JD met up with us up there as well! It is so fun to have friends with similar interests, it makes these events so much better to enjoy!! It was a bit cold.......good thing I had a pretty hot oven in my belly!! - (Only 6 1/2 weeks to go!!!)

ALMOST 7 MONTHS

ALMOST 7 MONTHS............trucking right along! This last few months I have been able to tell a big differences in the belly size (and lets not forget the chest...) like weekly! He is such a kicker, Chase just falls asleep with his hand on my belly while he boxes away! Besides the enormous belly, I fell so good! And can not eat enough!!! Holy cow, how can you be so hungry all the time?? He was measuring a week ahead at the last ultrasound, so who knows....he may be here sooner than we thought, but still around the beginning of June, we don't want him here to early! 

Just Over 5 Months......!

Belly Update! Just over 5 months and feelings pregnant now!! I swear the belly is getting bigger by the second. I am so excited its a boys and already looking for cute nursery ideas! Let me know if you have heard or seen anything cute!!!
