Wyat's Blessing and more....

So, over the last couple of weeks we have gotten many smiles, giggles, getting big and strong, learning to roll over and getting an AMAZING blessing from daddy.

Doesn't he look cute in his white suit? :)

Wyat is starting to find his voice, so he loves to tell stories.
I love being a mommy!
Everyday I wake up to a loving smiling face.
I get to see the love of my life being a dad to the cutest little boy.
Life could not be better! :)

Blessed!

So, today I have been thinking a lot about how blessed I am. I have an AMAZING husband! I love Chayse so much! I really couldn't ask for a better man to spend eternity with. He his a man who puts up with me and my many moods that come with being a new mother. He tells me he loves me on a daily basis. And most of all he has given me a beautiful baby. A baby who couldn't be more perfect (he might be small, but he is PERFECT!!). I truly believe that the Lord knows when the right time is to send down his little spirits. Since having Wyat my love has grown to level I didn't even know existed, for him, Chayse, and even myself.

I love being a mom. Yes, it can be hard and trying every day, but Wyat always seems to know when I am down and needing a pick me up, he looks at me and gives me the biggest, brightest smile that just melts my heart. I couldn't be more happy with my life and my family then I am right now. I also, have more respect for my mother. Knowing everything I am doing for Wyat my mother had to do for me, but with a toddler running around. She is an incredible woman. I love her dearly.

Also, on top of my husband and son, I have an AMAZING father! He knows the right things to say to make me smile and to make me feel like I am the best person and smartest mother he knows, other then my mother that is. :) He is someone I hope to be like when I am older, honest, loving to EVERYONE, GREAT with words, church calling and his family. I couldn't ask to be a part of a better family. We might be a little weird or crazy when seen from the outside but we are perfect in my eyes.

Now, for new Wyat pictures! :)

Wyat 1-2 months

So has many of you know I had the cutest baby ever

(I know every mom says that).

So, I have many things to post.

We had Wyat Ephraim January 3, at 2:31 pm. He was 6 pounds 9 ounces and 18.5 inches long.
Labor was SUPER easy and only 11 hours, I would go through labor over pregnancy any day :).

8 Hours into labor and feeling GREAT! Wyat getting cleaned and weight.
Giving birth to him was one of the most
AMAZING things I have ever done in my life.

Proud new daddy!
Sleeping so peacefully.

We, took A LOT of pictures so I will post my favorite ones of his first two months of life.
(This is for you Grandma Jo ;))Day 4
Grandpa and Cousin James, AKA 'The Tank'
It's crazy how they are only two months apart and the size difference is HUGE!!
Big brother Bruno saying 'hi' after many days of not going near him.

It is so funny for the first month whenever Wyat cried Bruno would go hide in the bathtub behind the shower curtain and just pokes his head out
Wyat at his 2 week appointment he had gained a 1.5 pounds and grew 2 inches, but he was only in the 25 percentile all around. He is very little for his age.Hanging out with mommy


These are some of the pictures I took when he was one month old.
It kind of looks like he is laughing, but he was SO mad at me and was bawling.

It was nap time :)


He loves bath time, he could be crying his eyes out and
we put him in the tub and its nothing but smiles. :)
I stepped away from the boys for a minute and when I came back Wyat was holding Chayse's finger

We just had his 2 month appointment and he now weights 10 pounds 13 ounces and is 23 inches long. For his height he is in the 50 percentile, weight 30%.

The Joy of Life

So, it has been a VERY long time since I have last posted anything and thought that it is time that I do so. With only one more week till we are in our third trimester and all of the holidays coming, I know that time will be FLYING by faster then it already has. With that I have been thinking a lot about being a mom and how wonderful being pregnant is (and for the most part very easy:)). So, for the last little while I have been thinking about the fears I have with what is to come; will my son be healthy? Will I go into labor fast? Will my water break when I am out and about? Will I be a good mother? Will he be smart? And so on and so forth. But I had to stop and think today about what joy he is going to being into our home and our families. Yes, I am still a little scared, but I know Chayse and I can do it and I am SO excited to do so. How blessed we are to be able to being another little soul into this world!

Any who, I am now 26 weeks only 14 to go!! I cant wait to meet the little guy!

We had a doctors appointment the other day and every thing looked GREAT!! I am measuring right on and the little guys heart was beating really strong and fast and can I say I could never get sick of the sound of his heart, AMAZING!!

One of the things I will never get over is how COOL it is to feel him move! At first it kind of freaked me out. I didn't expect it to feel like that, but it never gets old to lay in bed at night and feel all his movements.
I remember the first time Chayse felt him kick. We were camping and for some reason we were both up at 4 in the morning and he was kicking away, so I grabbed Chayses hand and when he kicked Chayse was all, "Was that him?" It was the most incredible moment.
Chayse is going to make an amazing Father!
I cant wait to see him holding the little guy in his arms!

Updates!!....

So, we just got home from a MUCH needed vacation!!

And of course it was camping on the Boulder Mountain none the less :)

After a long day at work, a crappy doctors appointment (more on that later in this post)

and a long drive, we FINAL made in to the camp site around 9:30 PM, so we had just enough time to level the trailers and put out the bed to get some of that much needed sleep.

Day 1

The starting of the day was WONDERFUL!! Blue skies, cool weather, didn't get above 80 the whole week, delicious omelet, and most of the family together.

Later in the afternoon my grandparents joined us and grandma Jo had a really fun game that Chayse and I put together....

this is when the bad things started. :(

First, I let myself get to hungry, so I was getting sick. One of the only times I have been sick.

Second, I was going to fast putting together the Golf game and hit my face with the pull and cut my nose.

Third, with this new thing growing in front of me, it has made me very clumsy... I tripped :(

And lastly, while getting ready for bed I wasn't paying attention and walked right into Chayse while he was taking his shirt off and got punched in the face.

Day 2-5

Nothing real special happened on these days and are pretty much the same.

Played Golf ...Grandma and I were the Champs!!

Went Fishing ... I am happy to say I caught the BIGGEST fish :)

Hiking ... can I tell you it was VERY HARD!! Of course it is just Because I have been milking the last 14 weeks...

I always love going camping, but it is ALWAYS nice to come home and shower and

sleep in a real bed.

14 weeks!

Now, on to baby news!!! :)

We had a doctors appointment on the 14th to hear the heart beat

and I am sad to say we didn't hear a thing. The doctor we went to that day decided it

was more important to talk the whole time and not let us listen to the heart.

Now, come to find out EVERYONE I have talked to said this doctor is a total dink.

And I have ask to never see him again and that he doesn't deliver our little one.

AMAZING NEWS

So as most of you WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!! YAY!!

So after two and a half years of many prayers, tears, and much heartbreak, we have been

SO blessed to find out that our prayers have been answered.

On the day that I took the most dreaded pregnancy test, I don't remember why I wanted to test that day I just had a feeling I need to, so I did.

The test is sitting by the sink while I tried to not think about it for THREE WHOLE minutes. I go in just knowing it was going to say negative, but with much SURPRISE it was POSITIVE!!

It just took my breath away!

After some of the shock faded I ran and jumped in Chayses arms and we just hugged for what seemed like FOREVER! I LOVE that man with all my heart and soul! He means the world to me! :)

After going through the day not believing it could be true, I told myself that maybe it was a false positive, so I said to myself, "self, you need to take another test in the morning to make sure."

And that is EXACTLY what I did.

And again it came back positive, so the next step was go to the doctor to do a blood test. And sure enough ANOTHER positive.

She said it was SO positive she thought it might be twins!!....

TWINS!!!......... WHAT?!?!

I think Chayse was about to have a heart attack and I was in shock for three weeks and

then we had the ultrasound...

and thank the Holy One Above there was only ONE heart beat!

(not that we would take what he gave us but it's to scary)

Can I just say how AMAZING it was to see the heart beat. It was going SO FAST I couldn't believe that something SO small could beat SO fast!

I have been feeling really good just a little nauseous, lower back pain and a couple of migraines, but I'll take those things any day over throwing up all day long.

I even have energy, which has surprised me the most because all of my
friends always said they just slept the first three months,

but not me I am keeping busy and lovin EVERY MINUTE!!

Pictures are coming soon!! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

So, I had a birthday last Sunday, and man was it a GREAT DAY!! First I woke up to have Chayse ask me what I wanted for breakfast. My first choice is of course always will be biscuits and gravy, but we didn't have any milk, because I have been sick and unable to make it to the store. So, he made me the next best thing, fat eggs, bacon and biscuits. He is such a AMAZING MAN!! I am SOO lucky to have him in my life!

Now, on Saturday we did a big family birthday dinner for pretty much the whole family since we were all born in March. And my wonderful amazing daddy and momma got me new riding boots.


They are awesome and it didn't take long for them to get there first taste of mud and horse poop on them, Since Chayse, the wonderful husband that he is got me a horse for my birthday, now Chayse wouldn't of had the idea to get me a horse if it wasn't for my amazing father-in-law Bill. I told Bill like two years ago that I wanted a Buckskin and well now I HAVE ONE! I know right who would of thought Anne would have her own horse, I still can't believe it. Anyway, he is beautiful!! He is three in April, so he is somewhat broke, he still needs a little work but it will be fun to do. Teach him how I want things done. Also, I hope he gets about another hand tall so he isn't the small horse of the group, everyone knows how I hate small things, go big or go home right.... So, he has to keep up with Radar. Now, I don't know what quite to name him for sure, I need to ride him first before I will know what name will fit him best, but for right now I am think either Roper or Bully, because he is really mean to his sister, which we also bought.
