Chris's Birthday

Chris's Birthday was on January 17th and he was turing the big 22! Yes...i am older then him :) hehe. We went to St. George that weekend and went shopping, visited my aunt, and went to dinner. It was so fun to get out of cedar for a little while! Then on his actual birthday we didn't have school so i decided i was gonna get him a steak and make dinner and brownies for him. We had some friends over and had a good time! Chris had a good birthday and loved that he could spend it with Brynlee :)

New Years

This year for New years was pretty low key. We ate dinner at my parents house then went over to Chris's parents house to plays games and of course we ate more food there too! We had alot of fun and won some money so it was a successful New Years. We got to spend time with Mark, Maddie, Ada and Hannah. We don't really get to see them much so when we do, it's allways a good time! It was my little brothers 16th birthday on the 1st so he had some friends over for New Years and his Birthday so we went back to my parents house and hung out with him! I was exhausted so right after 12:00 a.m. me and Brynlee were out cold!!

CHRISTMAS

On christmas Eve we went to my Grandparents house for dinner, games and gifts. Brynlee wore the cutest dress that said "santa baby" on it. It was so exciting to have my whole family be able to meet Brynlee for the first time. Finally it was Christmas. I love this time of year and it was even better having Brynlee! We were at my parents house this year for Christmas morning. My brother came storming in our room to wake us up to open presents. I was so tired that i didn't really care! I finally dragged myself out of bed and went into the living room. Our stockings were all filled and laid out on the couch. There were TONS of presents under the tree. We all opened our presents and i got a ton of clothes, make up, work out shoes and jewelry. Chris got a Jazz Jersey, clothes and shoes. We got Brynlee a cute stocking and put some clothes, socks, books, and a stuffed animal in it for her. My parents also got her TONS of clothes, toys and a fun toy for when she can sit up. We were then off to IHop with Chris's family. After we ate breakfast, we went to chris's parents house to open gifts. I got a cute sweat suit from Victoria Secret and money, Chris got some sweats and money and Brynlee got clothes and a fun Jungle toy that she can lay under. We were excited about that and she loved it. That night, we went to Chris's Grandma's house for the Judd party! We ate dinner, played games and opened presents. It was such a perfect Christmas and we were glad we could spend time with family and have our sweet angel for Christmas. Brynlee was by far the best Christmas present we got this year!!!

Family Pictures

After the long ride home, we had family pictures with my family 2 days later. I was not very happy with having to take pictures 2 weeks after having a baby. I had the baby weight and i couldn't put on a pair of pants cause of my c-section. However, when we get there, it wasn't to bad. I just made sure the lady didn't take pics of me from the waist down cause i was wearing sweats :) hahaha. We got some really cute family pics and some WAY cute pics of Brynlee. I wish we would have got some more of us 3 but it was a LONG day and i was exhausted!! After the pictures we all went out to lunch. It was a fun filled day!! :)

LONG drive home!!!!!

Instead of having one LONG post about everything from Brynlee's birth to now... i decided to break it up! Anyways..... After we had Brynlee, my family came down the weekend after to see her then we were off to SLC for 3 weeks for Christmas. We were so excited but like everything in our life, the trip up there wouldn't be easy. We left on friday at around 5:00 but before that, we had af full day planned. I had my 2 week check up which we waiting for about an hour, then we we had Brynlee's 2 week check up where we waited like an hour and a half in the waiting room then about another half hour when we were finally in the room! then after all that i had to go take my stupid math final and that took about 2 hours, meanwhile chris had the baby at Big-O tires getting new tires on the car. He finally picked me up and we headed home to pack the car. With the car all packed, we were on our way. Then it started to snow and the traffic was horrible. Brynlee was screaming so we pulled over to feed her and change her diaper. But after a long 5 HOUR drive she had had enough! She screamed non stop for about 45 minutes till we got to my parents house. I started to cry with her and chris was yelling at me to stop crying. it was a huge mess!! I was sooooo happy to get out of the stupid car and get to my dads. I was pooped.

Brynlee is here :)

Ya ya i know.... i am the worst blogger! Before i didn't really know what to blog about because it was just me and chris to talk about and that was boring. Our life was just pretty much work and school but now we have a baby girl which gives me someone else to blog about! :) We had her on December 6th 2010 after a long, sick filled pregnancy with some unexpected hospital visits along the way. Going back to that eventful day.....i woke up with some contractions and leaking which i thought was my water breaking. I wasn't sure though because it wasn't a gush like how everyone explains it. So i went back to bed, not wanting another false alarm. I got up to go to the bathroom and i noticed blood. I was then was frantic! I told chris we had to go cause that wasn't normal. We got to the hospital at about 7:30 a.m. praying that i wouldn't be sent home again! i got checked and my water did break. The doc came in and said i would be staying! HOORAY!! I was soooo excited to meet my little girl. However, she wouldn't come easy. I wasn't contracting so they gave me a pill to help me contract and dialate. OH MAN was i contracting but NOT dialating! My contractions began to come every 30 seconds and the pain was unbearable. Because they were coming so soon and so close, Brynlee's heart rate started dropping. About an hour after getting the epidural, which was the best thing ever, i was in the OR room being cut open. I was kind of in shock. I hadn't prepared myself for a C-section. About 10 minutes later, our sweet baby girl was born at 6:42 p.m.! i was so happy but unfortuneately i wasn't able to see her for about 45 minutes till i was done getting all stiched up. After i got settled in the room i got to hold her for the first time. I was so emotional and happy to be finally holding the baby i had been carrying for 9 months! After 3 lONG days in the hospital, i was ready to get my baby home! We were looking forward to having our little one at home and using all of her stuff that had been sitting in her room for months! :)

Been Awhile...

So it has been over a year since i have blogged. I haven't really found a need to blog because we are boring people with not much going on in our lives. I am still at Maurices and Chris is working at the school again and were getting ready to go home for spring break. Were so excited to get out of here and have a break for school. We have tons planned... We are going snowmobiling with my family (i hate it but im going for chris ugh), then were celebrating Coco's b-day and going to little brooklynn's blessing. Oh and did i mention SHOPPING!!! That's the one thing i have been waiting for! :) Well that's all that is going on with us. I will try and keep up on blogging. hahahaha
