Our Son

Our baby boy was born at 12:27 am on Feb 1 2012. He weighed in at 7 lbs and 6 oz; 18 1/2 inched long.

The story...

I had been contracting pretty strongly since Thursday and it hadnt been very fun. I went into the dr.s on Jan 31st and they tried to strip my membranes but said there was nothing to strip because I was so ready to have the baby. I was at a good 4cm and 80% effaced. Then a coupkle of hours after I got home from the dr.s I started getting 0pretty painful contractions! So I called my sister, who came straight over from the gym and called Kevin. KEvin rushed home and we left to the hospital.

My contractions were showing that they were between 1-2 minutes apart but after an hour I was still at a four. The nurse said she would like to wait another hour and see if I would dialate more and after an hour I didnt. I talked to the dr and he said because I was barely 38 weeks along its against hospital policy to induce. I immediately started to cry and asked if there was ANYTHING I could do to get induced. Finally i talked them into it. All within a half hour they started me on pitocin, gave me an epidural, and broke my water. An hour later I was ready to push and 20 minutes after that Krewson William was born.

I saw that the dr was kind of getting a little frantic when Krewson was coming out. The dr and Kevin were still great in keeping it cool though so that I wouldn't freak out. I had no idea there was even a problem until I saw Krewson's little blue and purple body being handed off to nurses. His cord was too tight around his neck and the dr had to cute the cord. It was too tight to pull off. After about 15 minutes they got his color back and gave him to Kevin and then me!! :)

Because I was really feeling great Kevin was then off to school at 530 am. and came back in the afternoon to spend time with us:)

Before they gave me any meds...

Getting Krew to breath. They had one nurse checking his vitals and another rough housing him to get him to cry and breath.

7.6 lbs and 18 inches

Kevin holding Krew!!!
They give them the shots and a bath in the same room. I really didnt like that! It makes me sad when they cry from discomfort and adding that to just having a baby wasnt very fun. But every time Krew cried, Kevin would put his hand on him and he would quiet down so quickly. It was really awesome to watch:)



His first photo shoot:)

Sick Family.....

I was soo looking forward to getting Kevin for a long weekend!!! He even got his homework done so that we can spend the whole weekend with eachother! And that we did!!!
Kevin was sick during the week with the flu/head cold. Then on Friday I got it! But we still went out to Wendy's for a family date and noticed that Indee had a fever blister on her top lip. She also wouldnt eat anything but a vanilla frosty. The next morning we woke up and Indee had more of a rash. She also has eczema so we just thought it was that and lotioned her up.
But on Sunday the rash turned into blisters. We took her to Urgent care and the Dr acted as if he knew what it wasnt but you could totally tell that he didnt. He even said he didnt think it was contagious. He did send her to the hospital to do blood work and gave her an antiviral medicine.
But on Monday it was worse. So we took her back in and luckily her Dr was in that day! He said that he thinks it is Chicken pox and Shingles together but that he had never seen such a bad case so he decided to bring in another dr so that he could assess the situation as well. They both agreed with our dr's diagnoses and both said that they had never seen it so bad. Usually shingles only attacks one side of the body but in Indee's case it attacked both sides of her nervous system. It got so bad that she couldnt walk so he prescribed her a really strong pain killer. Luckily she hasnt itched any but they are scabbed over so I think she is over the contagious part but I am keeping her in today just to make sure. It was such a horrible thing to see and brought me to tears many times! She had it all over her mouth and down her throat so for two whole days she ate literally nothing, but luckily she would still sip a little bit of liquids.

And then to top it off Monday night Kevin got horribly sick! I thought it was the flu but it turns out it was food poisoning from my cooking him food. It was sooo awful! I have never seen anyone be so sick! Luckily he doesnt hold it against me and is still eating what I cook.

It was definately an emotional week for me to watch the ones I love most get so sick and to be so helpless in making them better!

Here are a few pictures of Indee. She wouldnt let us take very good ones because it was soo painful for her to even move...





We were so taken care of by our friends!!! Thank you all.... We got meals dropped off on our door steps... clorox wipes to make sanitizing easier and errands run for me!!! It was very touching seeing how much people cared for us and it helped me soooooo much!!!

Indee Rae

Indee loves when daddy comes home and plays with her!!! I can seriously be trying to make her laugh all day and all Kevin has to do is walk through the door... I love how much she loves him:)

Kevin usually will give Indee a bath at night and this is what she comes out looking like everytime. He thinks its soo fun to make her hair crazy:)

Indee loved going to Baby's R Us because she and Daddy played with all the toys there while mom got everything we needed:)

Indee loves painting.. I went to Micheal's and got washable paints and now she always asks to paint:)


We love Indee Rae sooooooo much:) She is comprehending so much more and is getting a sense of humor. She is always trying to trick us by pretending to hand us things and then taking it back while laughing. Her hair is now long enough for me to put a teeny tiny pony tail in. I think it looks cute:) We are having soo much fun watching her learn and grow.

Christmas cont.

We weren't able to get to California this year for Christmas so my sister came back with lots of presents from my family. Indee was in heaven. Indee definately did better opening these presents. Maybe its because she liked their presents better than ours. lol She had a blast with everything that she got. It was 10 pm and normally by then she is soo excited for bed but when Ia sked her if she wanted to go get her passi she said no :)

Thank you everyone! She seriously loves EVERYTHING that everyone gave her... She sure has alot of people who love her!

Indee's Xmas

So for Christmas we spent some time with Kevin's family up in Brianhead... It was really fun!!

Every day the grandkids got to open a Christmas gift which was an activity to do. Indee especially loved the play dough and moon dough.

I stole these pictures from Kev's cousin's blog. I forgot to charge our camera!! oopsies..



Kevin's mom came to visit and so we all went to the Salt Lake Temple to see the lights. I was sooo cold!!!!




We ran into some friends there and Indee loved seeing them and playing!!! She was soo excited:)

Indee wasnt so sure about all of the presents. She didnt really open them and so I helped. After we opened the first one she went into the kitchen to eat. lol.

Playing with her neew toys before church started.

This is how we spent the rest of Christmas... Lounging out. She would get mad every time I stopped massaging her shoulders.lol

just a teaser

We got some pictures done for maternity and of Indee... they turned out soo cute... They are still being edited:) But she did give me one unedited because i couldnt wait to have it!!! :)

KIT

Kevin- He is finishing his second to last semester.. he is going to take spring semester as well. Then, we are headed to Indiana to work for Cummins. Crazy huh? Who woulda' ever thunk???

Missa- Just waiting for this baby to come! :) I am finishing sewing/crochet projects that I will blog about later!

Indee- testing limits and very curious as to how things work! She loves to talk and do everything that we are doing! She loves singing, dancing, and playing with her friends!

My life...

I live for these two!!!! They are the best things that have happened to me!!! How wonderful it is that our Heavenly Father provided a plan for each of His children to have a family of there own! They both make me laugh and smile on a daily basis!

Kevin is the hardest worker I know. He spends between 50-80 hours a week just on school. Sometimes its more than a 100 hours which doesnt leave him time to sleep. I know he works so hard so that he can provide for us. He is an amazing Father and Husband! He is always so willing to do whatever it takes to make us happy. Even when he is so busy but can see that I need him he will skip classes/ come home early to be there with me!! He is always sacrificing for us and I am so grateful he chose me to be his wife!

Indee teaches me what perfection should be. SHe is so innocent and loving. She loves me and makes me feel like i am everything!

I seriously love my little family sooo much and cant wait to add to it very soon:)

Us....

Indee is growing up so quick! She loves to do things that we are doing. She takes the sponge to wipe off the counter, uses the water to wash her face in the sink, tries to brush her own teeth, puts on our shoes:


She is just sooo much fun to watch grow. She is already such a good little mommy:

We went to a live nativity and it was freezing... so we made sure she was warm

Cute things Indee has done

Just so that we can remember:

Whenever it's bedtime we ask Indee to go get her passi and she RUNS to go get it!! And then when she sees it she smiles and laughs because she is sooo excited!!

She has been giving sooo many kisses :)

She figured out how to climb into her crib!! She climbs up on her bunk bed and crawls into bed!! It was really cute to watch! She then put the passi in and laid down. So I stopped what I was doing and walked out of her room to let her sleep:)

She went to bed and I found a couple of huge pen marks all over the couch! I dont know where she found the pen? But I actually thought it was really cute... I didnt want to wash it off!! But I did, I just wish I had gotten a picture... I dont know why I thought that was soo cute but it put a big smile on my face:)

We love her sooo much!!! :)

She is so loving and I am sooooooooo grateful that we got to have her!!! I already get sooo stressed thinking about "what if I dont teach her right?", "What if she makes bad decisions?". I know its a little premature, but I love her so much I dont ever want to lose her. I feel like I get a tiny glimpse of what our Heavenly Father must feel when we make bad decisions!!

Indee Rae- We love you more than we can show and say!! You mean the world to us! You are such a sweetheart and I could not have asked for better!! Thank you for making our home so blessed and for making us such proud parents!! :)
