2 Months

I am in love with this kid!! He is just growing so fast!  I love seeing him grow and change, it is such  a great blessing to have him and love him. He is doing so well, he only wakes once during the night and is awake a bit more during the day.
Can't wait to see what the next year brings!

One month, Family Pictures, and a blessing

So I slacked and did not get newborn photos of Ammon, but both sets of parents are here and my mother in law and sister in law and I decided to do some One month pictures of him and finally some family photos.

We were also able to Bless Ammon.  We are so grateful that CJ's parents and mine were able to fly out and then also Justin Bergman, Elder Wadsworth (military relations) and the Bishopric. Also thank you to Liz and her kiddos and Dantzel. CJ did a beautiful job!

HE IS HERE! We Welcomed out beautiful baby boy Ammon into the world on the 4th at 11:34 pm.

So here is the story:
   I had gone in for a check up on January 29th and the doctor said I was still 1 cm and not thinning out.  So we set up an induction date of Feb. 5th at 7am.  Oh I was really excited to have an exact date, I don't know why...  The rest of the week went on with no progression   CJ and I went and walked around two malls and Costco.  We went to church and I still felt just fine.
Sunday evening CJ and I finished out our weekend and was getting ready to start what we knew would be a busy week, but I thought I had Monday to try and get a couple things done, but NOPE
At 1:30am my water broke!! So we were up and thankfully I had almost everything taken care of knowing it was around the corner anyways, so out the door we went!  When we arrived to labor and Delivery we were only 2 cm and nothing was really happening and they thought my water didn't break, so the Midwife asked if since I was already there if I would mind just being induced today.  I didn't mind we were already there.
So we were admitted to a delivery room and waited, ALL DAY LONG.  The nurse kept turning up my Pitocin drip and nothing was happening, but then at 1:30pm I was starting to feel contractions   And they Got really strong with in the hour, but guess what I was still only 4cm.  I was in so much pain!! I did not realize how much it was taking out of me.  So I opted for an Epidural   And slept for a couple hours. They kept checking me, and I was slowly progressing  finally at 10pm the doctor came in and I was finally 9cm and could be ready to push.  So at 11pm the Doctor came back and said ok the next contraction we are pushing.
It took 34 minutes of pushing and our little miracle was here!

8lbs 5oz   21 inches long and a head of hair!

41 Weeks

Yup that is right 41 weeks!  I have made it past my due date contrary to what a lot of people have said about your first.  Truly your either on the early side of wives tails and say new moms go early or your on the late side.  Silly!
We will be induced on the 5th if he does not decide to come before then, I have been walking and walking, bouncing on a yoga ball and well other things to induce labor.

Well here is the last belly shot.

And this is for my mother in law. CJ was late as well. 

38 weeks!

Almost Done!

5 Weeks to go!!!!

Oh my goodness!! I can not believe all I have left could be 5 weeks! This pregnancy went way to fast! Can't wait to finally meet Little Man!

Good Bye South Carolina, Hello Virginia

So I have been lazy in updating, some probably want a preggo picture, but you will have to wait.
So far December has been nuts.  If you follow my posts on Facebook you saw a few things happening.
First thing first, CJ qualified as a Nuclear Mechanic and finally was able to "graduate" training at the end of November! We have been waiting since September for this to happen.  We have known since then we would be stationed in Virginia.  CJ will be part of the Decommissioning of the USS Enterprise which was the first Nuclear Propulsion Air Craft Carrier. We are so excited since this means he will have a sea duty without any deployments!

So this started the ball rolling on our move, within 2 weeks we had the movers scheduled for pick up and a check out date for our duplex.  It happened so fast I didn't have time to freak or even think about it! By the 6th of December we were Free of base housing in Goose Creek South Carolina.

By the 7th we were on a plane for a ten day trip to AZ.  What a Trip!  It went so fast, we tried to fit in all of AZ's best Christmas stuff, 2 baby showers and Family pictures.  We had every day booked full and well every evening I was out cold.  Unfortunately by the end of the week my feet were starting to swell and my hips are really starting to get ready for Little man!

On the 17th we were back to South Carolina to get our vehicles and the dogs and tie up a few last strings, by the 19th we were on the road for 8 hours to Norfolk Virginia.  By the 20th we had our keys to our new place, we felt like royalty. We went from 2 bedroom 1 bath, to a 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath! A fenced yard, oh we hit it big!  We really like our new place, I think once everything is unpacked and put away it will look great.

Next on our list, get ready for little man who could be here at the end of January.  Then we get to introduce him to our parents!!
So keep checking back and follow our GREAT new ADVENTURES!!!!
