Laughy Jacky!

Babies are so much fun to play with!!

I'm not sure why this doesn't show up better!? But i suppose you get the idea:)

The Childbirth

I guess I havent really sat down yet and recorded the birthing event as a whole. So here goes...
On July 9th I had my 37th week checkup and the doctor asked me if I wanted to have a baby this weekend. I respond simply "for sure!" He proceeds to, well you know, strip my membranes and then said "ok hopefully I'll see you this weekend." Im thinking SUPER! Then I head to work and all is well.
After work I head home and do the uzsh...jumping jacks, a long walk, and everything else that helps get baby out (of course with Daves help;)

The next thing I know at about 11pm or so it begins. It starts with the pains. Friday comes and my day goes as follows: contract, sleep, contract, sleep. Before I know it, its dinner time and I of course was just working on breathing. I had a dear dear friend and her husband come over and make us the most amazing waffles of your life! They left around 10pm and about 1130 I told Dave that we should prob get ready for the hospital. We both shower and get ready. Then I fell asleep and then wake up to pain and then GUSH. My water broke at home. YESSSS! I cleaned up and headed to the hospital. I got to the hospital about 430am. (Dave was sad that we couldnt drive all crazy in and out of traffic, hahaa)
I get an epidural and the stuff that help you along..whatever its called, oh ya pitosin sp??. moving on...Im dialated to a 3 at this point. Finally around 11am I am fully effaced and dialated and the doc says looks great we'll be back later and deliver this kid! And that he did. I pushed about 3 times and he crowned then the doc came and I pushed about 3 more times and then
HELLO BABY!
I watched with a mirror and loved every gooey second of it. Childbirth is so incredible.
Jack came at about 130pm and then we had a lot of visitors that came to meet him that night and on Sunday.

Heading home on Monday was such an incredible feeling alone. I was thinking holy cow these people are letting me go home with this little person?!

And now here we are at 7 weeks out and loving every minute of our new life.

Our newest edition. Jack Everett.

Children are certainly a gift from God and it is plain to see why. I love my life.

New Edition!

Jack is here. Everything went so so well. He is honestly so cute and weighed in at 6lbs 6 oz. Pictures will come soon!
I know I knew it then but I certainly understand the phrase much better now...
"The church is true." Heavenly Father is so amazing!
Hope you are all well. We love you.

37 weeks my friends!

Lucky 35!

Here I am friends! I am 35 weeks and counting! Life is so good, I feel super good and even did a 4 mile hike the other day with Dave. We are loving every second of waiting for our sweet baby Jack to arrive.

Input Please...

Hey friends, if anyone still ever reads this...i need your help. I am down to my final countdown. Im 35 weeks and still have no idea what stroller I want. So any feedback would be so nice. What brand do you have? Do you love it? Tell me about it if you have a sec. Thanks.

Silliness

Two very silly stories...if you don't love silly stories I would really suggest to go no further.

Yesterday I was so tired. Naturally, its what prego lady's do. So...Im sleeping. Dave comes in, awesome, lays down. Starts to SNOOOORRRREEEE. Loud. Not the point of my story though,

so after his snoring extravaganza and a nudge in the ribs ;) we had a conversation, sort of. Here goes...

Dave: Babe, babe can you please go do that favor I asked you to do. (irratated voice)

Sara: Huh, babe? What favor?

Dave: (heavy sigh) babe, the favor I asked you to do for me. (still in irratated voice)

Sara: I really am not sure what you are talking about...(I am thinking, oh dang I totally forgot something).

Dave: You know how I asked you to help me look at this project with the couch and the furniture in the rooms ...yadda yadda yadda something to do with a house and wiring yadda.

Sara: Huh?

Dave: (another heavy sigh) Nevermind. ....(silence)

Sara: (Confused!)

We both sleep a little longer. Then Dave wakes up and I ask him what that was all about because I am thinking he was totally with it.
Nope he was not with it and had a hard time admitting to it! haaha! He was dreaming of wiring a house and he needed my help.

I laughed. Then he laughed. So good. I love every peice of Dave.

Story #2

To start...Dave and I love to name call. But not your ordinary name call. Name call like "you fuzzy bucket face" or "you moldy strawberry cake". Ha. Stupid name calling just to make us laugh.

Moving on.

Dave and I are happily noozling the other night and we were having some silly conversation and I decided that calling Dave a Cornish Game Hen was sooo appropriate. But by the time I would get to the word Hen I started to laugh and cry to hard that I couldnt pronounce it. (Im laughing a little now just thinking about it.) Dave is laughing but he's not sure why and that was it.

I called Dave a cornish game hen. And it is apparently the funniest stupid name call I have ever come up with.

This is Dave. Ha. Im so funny.

I love Dave. We laugh so good together.

Me + Bump

I am at 27 weeks in this. I also mangaed to smile in time. Also, this was the night that my nephew told me that a had a "Big Tush"...I know, sheesh.

Everyone on the Planet should watch this...if you havent already!

My ps...sorrows

It happened again!

This time it involved my husband....Sheesh.
We were checking out of Smiths, I was paying and Dave was emptying the cart and what not. Then, he decides that he has to get the cart past me to fill the cart with the bagged groceries, right...So he nudges my behind, I move forward, He nudges a little bit more and I move forward a little bit more while trying to "suck it in".

THEN HE PLOWS FORWARD (or so it felt) and once again...here I am, STUCK!

Im thinking, really? My husband is officially as delusional as I am!

We managed to 3 amigos it out of the line and then almost fell on the floor
because we could not stop laughing.

Can I?

Lately I have been having some issues with my new size...

And I wonder...Does every pregnant woman everywhere deliberate with this same issue?

Two weeks ago as I arrived to work I found that there was only one parking space left in the entire lot! To my dismay this spot was oddly small. So I figure I am pretty small and I can probably squeeze my body out of this car. WRONG!

I open the door swing my legs over the side, stand up and STUCK! My once little body has now grown not only out in front but (ha) out in back.

Then on Friday (4/10) Dave and I go to the grocery store and again...limited spots. Of course. And AGAIN I tried to fit the car into a little space, park, open the door, swing my legs out the car and STUCK.

Maybe I should've learned from my first experience...

Do I stand alone on this? Am I totally nuts and am experiencing way to much wishful thinking that my body is still small?

Our sweet Boy

Presenting.....Jack

The other day Dave and I went to go have a peak at our little guy and this is one (of many) of our amazing pictures. It actually was quite a fun experiance. Dave decided that he had to document everything so he filmed every moment that he could which, to be honest got a little frustrating at some points but whatever it was fun. After getting inside and all set up and seeing his body arms legs and all we got a straight up the nose shot. This is so funny because Dave thought it was the most amazing shot and talked about it in his testimony on Sunday. Don't get me wrong, it was so awesome that Dave bore his testimony on the sanctity and amazement of life that we create but then...talk about his nostrils above all else that we could see, definitly made me laugh.

Awesomeness

Sometimes, I just LOVE the news and....really stupid people!

So, in chicago (I think) in the last few days there was a robbery at a gun store. The Robber man was unsuccessful because he got SHOT by the GUN STORE clerk.

News like this makes my day!

Me at 19 weeks.

Ok so I really was planning on smiling for this pic...but I was apparently about .5 seconds late.

The beginning of the End.

Today I start to blog...blah. Only because I have too! And, because I sit at a computer all day long and Facebook really just isn't doing it for me anymore.
**Disclaimer**Be aware that I am in no way shape or form a good or structured writer and this blog will often not make sense and will probably be very "jumpy". But since this is what the people want...this is what they get.

Let me just begin by giving my first "shout out" to Erin Nelson! Following the shout out is some Arsenio Hall Hooting for you too.

Next, on my agenda is to tell everyone about my amazing and funny job....I work at Marriott's Mountainside Resort in Park City Utah as a full time concierge. It is very cool to sit here all day and tell people what they should be eating and doing! But really the best part is just getting to talk to everyone in the hotel all day long. This of course does come with a downside...interesting people. I have so many experiences here that would really be good enough to go on the one redneck guys show Here's Your Sign.

One example I would use would be: people who get mad at the hotel for cement structure poles that "jump" in front of their cars....really, I don't get it either.
