Welcome little one!

How Ellie came into this world, C-section! OK, So Ellie was born at 7lbs 13oz, was 20 inches long and was born at 3:58 pm on June 25th, 2010.

My story, I went to the hospital on June 24th at 8pm to get induced since i was already 5 days late. At 9pm they started induction, by 1:00 am I was begging for an epidural, by 6:45 am, my doctor broke my water. I was moving right along until my body stopped at 7cm! Well around 12-ish (time starts to get fuzzy) My epidural ran out, they went to call the epidural guy, and he was in a surgery, so I ended up waiting over an hour for him to come in and re-boot me, of course my contractions were pretty painful. I was having Trent rub my back, apparently he was putting his whole body into it even though I couldn't tell if he was even touching me. ouch times a million! When I finally got on top of my pain, by clicking the little button every 5 minutes to give me more juice, but then it stopped for a while cause the machine didn't want me to overdose myself. It ran out again, so they called the guy back, but again, he was in another surgery, so I had to wait over an hour again. I cant begin to describe the pain, so I wont even try. (Any ladies reading this who have not had children yet, don't worry, everyone is different, you will not have the same experience!) Well the epidural guy ended up redoing the needle in my back, to get it working from another direction, by this time, my doctor decided to do a C-section, because I was still stuck at 7cm and it is around 3-ish now. So now I get some shots that work tons faster and now no pain at all! Yes! Well they have too now since they are cutting into me! Well they get me ready for the surgery, and I'm pretty much passing out cause I'm exhausted! I was told during the surgery, I started snoring, the doctor stops for a second looks over and says "Is she snoring? Well I guess she is all right then!" and the nurses chuckle. ....to be continued.....

Getting ready for the baby!

Ok, it has been a while, oops, sorry:) Well I am now 35 weeks along and getting anxious to have the baby. We have 2 classes left of our birthing class, and let me just say, new expecting moms- it is totally worth it!!! Last week we got a tour of the maternity ward and got to see the rooms I would be in when I have the baby. We also saw the nursery and saw a very beautiful baby girl! Which just made me even more excited to meet my daughter. :)

So far our baby room is getting their. We have mostly all the big items, which is great. I found some awesome deals on KSL, A Bassett Baby dresser for only $65!!! They usually run about $300. When we got it home, Trent sanded it and restained it. It looks georgious! I also found a changing table that was bought a few years ago from USA baby for $235 and got it for only $45! It is solid and no scratches and matches the Dresser, Yay! Of course the crib was purchased for me, Thanks you guys (you know who you are!) And of course from a couple baby showers, I got lots of stuff! We will still have to do a small shopping spree to get the last few items needed. The biggest thing I notice most is, because i am having to buy stuff for my child, not for me or anybody else, i want to get EVERYTHING! Their is definitely that eternal love that is so strong, it makes you want to be a better person!

Well now that my pregnancy is almost done, it is fun to feel the baby move, because sometimes its little and sometimes I feel like there is a tornado in my belly. It's pretty funny when Trent feels the baby, because when she is going at it, Trent will look at me all wide eyed, like holy cow! Then i am like, hey thats normal to me! There were a few times I had a cat sitting on my lap, leaning against my belly and my baby kicked the cat. The cat will whip her head around and look at my belly, thinking what was that? and then sniff it out to find the source. :) Pretty funny moments.

Blogging?

Well, we (or I, husband went along with it) decided to start a blog since some other family members have them. Also, for the fact that we are expecting our first baby and thought it would be fun to share the changes that are coming.

Just a quick get-to-know summary, Trent and I have been married for 4 and half years. I met him on his mission. My dad was in charge of the missionaries in our ward and was their landlord, Ha! After Trent's mission, (October 2004) we got in contact and pretty much talked on the phone everyday for long periods of time! On April 1st, 2005 he proposed (no, not an April fool's joke) and by Sept 2nd, we were married in the Timpanogas Temple. At this time, Trent was going to school at ITT-tech and working full time, and I just got my Associates degree. I moved from Rexburg to Salt lake city, and we lived in an appartment, in the ghetto, for a year and half. We then moved to Ogden, Utah, where we bought a house, so now we live in a more upper class ghetto (I made friends with my neighbors so I didn't have to worry) :^)

We have been living here since April 2007, and as a surprise, Trent brought home 3 baby kittens in July. I felt three was to many, so we got one adopted and now have 2, very cute, playful, entertaining but sometimes troublesome cats, Yay!

We have done tons of remodeling to our house like the front and back yards, porch and kitchen (I will try to get before and after pictures put up). So now that I am pregnant, I am due June 19th, and Trent and I couldn't be more excited! Oh yeah, we are having a girl!
