Baby Korbin

I have neglected this blog for a long time and now its time for a much needed update. I am now the mom of a beautiful baby boy named Korbin. He is wonderful and very fun. We love him so much! I was induced at midnight the morning of May 8th.




I was in labor for 6 hours and it went really well. I was started on the pit around 2:00 in the morning and had Korbin at 8:19. He was ready to come to the world and i only had to push for 15 minutes. He is a healthy wonderful little boy. He was 7 lbs 14 oz and 20 inches long.

















Ogden Regional was so busy with deliveries that we had to move to a pediatric room the second day. The room was a lot smaller and it was kinda a bummer for guests, they had no place to sit. Tom also had no place to sleep.

The Baby!!!

I had my targeted ultrasound 2 weeks ago. The perinatologist measured and examined everything. The babe is healthy with ten toes and fingers. He weighed 1 pound 9 0z and was in the 50th percentile for his weight. We got 3D pictures of our baby. It is amazing how much technology can do these days. It is amazing to think we will have a new little person in only 3 months.

The baby is probably only around 2 pounds by now, if that. Unfortunately by belly thinks he is bigger. :)My belly at 26 weeks.

Update for the Last Month

I've been terrible about updating my blog, so here is the last month of updates.
New Years eve we spent at our friend Jade's. It was a potluck and we made carameled apples for everyone. Usually most people cut them up to eat them, but John Aaron went to town. It was extraordinary!




Christmas this year was a little hectic. We both have big families so it was interesting to say the least trying to visit everyone in the snowy wonderland. Me and Tommy opened our presents in bed around 9:00 and then headed out to my parents house. There we ate a wonderful breakfast and then opened presents with my brothers and sisters. Then we proceeded to visit all of the grandmothers, mothers and everyone else. It was a Very Merry Christmas!

Our little Christmas tree this year... Isn't it cute!


Christmas at mom's







In the last few weeks my pregnant belly has popped. All of a sudden it was like the turkey was done and Pop.... Its a little hard because I feel like nothing fits right. We also had a funny little scare last time we went to the doctor about 4 weeks ago. The babe was in a bad position and the doctor thought it was a girl for about the first 5 minutes of the ultrasound. He says, "Now you haven't bought any boy clothes yet have you", I replied "No" and he says " Good cause I think I might have told you wrong last time".... you should have seen the look on Tom's face! Needless to say he finally opened up those legs and were still having a boy. I am now 22 Weeks, A little over half way!!! He is healthy and loves to kick his mommy all day long!

Pregnant Belly 20 Weeks


At the end of November we took a fun little getaway up to the Zermatt hotel in Midway. We got a free hotel stay, and decided to get away for the weekend before the baby comes and we can’t. The hotel was really nice. Granite countertops everywhere even in the bathroom. It also had the most comfortable bed that I wanted to take the mattress home with me. We ate at a special seafood restaurant at the hotel that was pretty pricy, but hey we got the room for free. We spent that weekend shopping in park city, getting carameled apples at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Yumm!!. We went to the Body World show in Salt lake, ate out a lot and then ended up at the off-Broadway theater that night for laughs with some friends. It was a splendid weekend.

BABY BOY!!!

I am pregnant with a baby boy!!!! We found out last Wednesday! I'm only 15 weeks along so its still really early to tell, but My doctor said that he is about 99% sure its a little boy. We are really excited. We still can't believe we are going to be parents, in only 175 days. I'm due at the first of May. If anyone has any suggestions on names, we would love, love, love to hear them.

Halloween

Trying to decide what to be for Halloween each year is always a fun and taxing process. This we decided to be Dorothy and The Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. Well I decided and Tommy will pretty much go along with anything. I pieced our costumes together and ended up actually sewing my dress, with the much needed help of my wonderful mother -in-law (she had to tell me what to do every step of the way). Both of our costumes came to about $20.00. We ended up at a party at Jamie’s house. It was a good time.

Before and after the donut eating contest on a string. This was a couples activity and it boy was it difficult. What a sticky mess!

We are officially owners and operators of a new computer. It would seem to good to be true to actually be in bed while writing a blog post but its true, I am literally sitting in my bed right now. I love early Christmas presents, to myself.

Jamie this one is for you

With constant requests to blog more, here I go…. My life over the past 6 weeks has been somewhat uninteresting. I finished summer semester, luckily without developing any life threatening stomach ulcers. I greatly disliked my physiology class, not so much the material, but the way it was presented, the speed, and the lovely French teachers accent. All these factors added up and caused me a great deal of stress! And only by god’s good graces did I somehow end up pulling an A- out of the class. After school was over I had 2 weeks to read Breaking Dawn and Fablehaven (The grip of the shadow plague). I know it’s for children but Brandon Mull does such a good job at reeling you in, even if you are almost 23. I Started school again today. I’m only going part time with anatomy and Pathophysiology. It should be an interesting semester full of studying and dissecting dead bodies. As for my social life, Last week we got together with a long lost friend and her darling boy Aiden. We went to the pizza factory and caught up on all we had missed in the years of absence. It was fun to hear what is going on in Megan’s life and to she her beautiful boy. We all rarely all get together and it was entertaining to see everyone. After dinner before Velvet dropped me off, a few of us stopped by her new house in the works. How jealous am I that she is building her own house. Ok, ok I am happy for her too. It is coming along fast and they should be in it by October. However if you are inquiring about Tommy, and me I can assure you that we will never have such extravagancies, or at least not for years and years and years to come. I am extremely happy for them and their darling little family.
