I can't believe I have a Kindergartner!!! She has grown up way too fast, and was more ready to go to school than I was for her to go to school. There were no tears from either side, but I have to admit, it was a little hard to walk away and leave her there! She is so ready for this and has been counting down the days.</div>

If you know my family well, you know that I am surrounded by extremely talented family members. Seriously. My dad, my mom, my 2 sisters and my brother are all so incredibly talented. I have been raised around all these people and have been able to learn so much. I'm not the most creative person, so I have had to observe and learn. My sister, Staci, started a tradition with her kids that I have been always wanted to continue when my kids got old enough. "Back To School Dinner" It consists of having your kids pick out the menu for the evening and making it really special for them. I found a bunch of really cute decorations for the table. I planned it all out and surprised Kaiya Saturday night. Her menu consisted of her favorites:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spaghetti</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Edamame</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Chicken Nuggets</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pineapple</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cupcakes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Root Beer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was super fun and definitely something I will continue to do.</div>

Table before dinner. I also had some extra surprises for her like her pencil box filled with goodies, a new water bottle, lunch box supplies, and book marks. I had her fill out a First day of school Interview so I can keep it and go back every year and see how much she has grown.<br />

I really want to document the important moments for myself and my kids. So much has happened over the last few years so I will do a quick update and then start from where we are now.<br />
We moved to Yuma, AZ in the summer of 2013. Nate graduated from Weber State University with his masters in Athletic Training. He got a job teaching at San Luis High School during the day and then would cover all athletics after school. It made for some pretty long days. We loved our summers though. He worked there for 3 years and just this past school year decided to move on to his next career goal... becoming a Physician Assistant. We are currently in the process of applying to school and hope to be accepted and start next Summer. This means yet another move for us, but we are very ready for it. For now, Nate is playing the role of stay at home dad :)<br />
Since living in Yuma, Kaiya has grown up so much. She just started Kindergarten (TODAY! Which is definitely the next post) She is 5 is a such a big helper. We have had 2 babies since living here, Beckam, who is now 2 and a half, and Tristan, who is 4 months. It has been crazy, but so fun. <br />
I am working full time now at Yuma Regional Medical Center as a pediatric nurse. I recently got a promotion to charge nurse, and it has been a great experience for me. I still have hopes and dreams of getting my masters so I can one day teach pediatric nursing in a nursing school.<br />
Life is so good and we are loving living in Arizona. We want to make AZ our permanent home someday. We are hoping to stay in AZ for PA school, but are willing to go out of state if necessary. We definitely miss our Utah family, but we try to see them as much as possible.<br />
Hoping to keep up on all the fun things happening in our life right now!<br />

It has been a LONG time since I have posted! We are just too busy around
here to be able to blog on a regular basis. Kaiya is 20 months now and
SO much fun! I will have to do a post about her milestones soon. She has
the vocabulary of a 5 year old, I swear. She has been saying over 100
words on a regular basis since 18 months. I love that I can talk to her
like an adult and she knows exactly what I am saying. She loves Toy
Story and Tangled and has recently gotten into Cinderella. I can't wait
to take her to Disneyland! She is going to love it! I'm trying to talk
Nate into going soon, but he said we have wait until he is done with
school and has a job. He is done in April with his masters in Athletic
Training! I can't wait!! I love my job at Mckay Dee working on the
pediatric floor, but I look forward to being able to cut back my hours
when Nate graduates. Working 3 graveyards a week is just not fun with a
toddler who wakes up 2 hours after you fall asleep after getting home
from work. I'm grateful however that one of us is always able to be with
her and we don't have to put her in daycare. Tonight we were able to do
some fun things with her. October is my favorite month. It is my
birthday month and I also just love the weather and Halloween is my
favorite holiday! Here are a few pictures of what we did tonight.<br />

She is so smart. I am amazed everyday at the things she learns. She is a little copy cat. Everything we do, so repeats. She is being stubborn with walking. She has been pulling herself up on things since the first week in October and has been walking with a little sit to stand walker for a month now, but she refuses to stand by herself. She is definitely my child in the way that she does things on her own terms. It drives Nate crazy. She loves to eat and will eat pretty much anything we do. I'm so ready for her to turn one so she doesn't have food restrictions anymore. I'm also SO ready for her to not be on formula anymore!! She loves her sippy cup. Last month we were out at a restaurant and she kept trying to get my drink. We had never given her a straw before so I didn't think she would be able to get anything out. I let her try and she instantly sucked up my Dr Pepper. It was so cute. She is now obsessed with drinking out of a straw. I bought her a new sippy that has a straw. She thinks it is fantastic. She is our little hoover. She loves to find things on the floor and put them in her mouth. We are always pulling things out of her little mouth. She has 8 teeth and she's not afraid to use them. She bites us all the time. Our toes are her favorite thing to attack. She also likes to bite my fingers. Cardboard and paper are her favorite things to eat. Christmas was like heaven to her. wrapping paper and cardboard boxes everywhere! She couldn't have cared less about her new toys. Here is a list of her favorite words to say:<br />Da-da<br />Nah-nah (mama)<br />Doggy<br />No no no (shaking her head left to right)<br />Ni Ni (in a high pitched voice) (night night)<br />baby<br />bye bye- she won't say it, she'll just wave when you say bye bye<br />Hi Hi (same as bye bye she just waves)<br />Uh- oh<br />That's all I can think of right now. She is such a fun little person to have around. I swear she gets cuter and funnier everyday. I don't remember life without her and I don't want to. She has made us so happy.We were for sure blessed with a happy and good natured baby. We have been so spoiled and eased into parenthood. I'm scared to have anymore. She is such a good baby that I just know our next one will be naughty!!Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-10080119166726349502011-09-12T15:02:00.001-07:002011-09-12T16:19:53.408-07:00Yuba LakeThis year for Labor Day we went to Yuba Lake with Nate's family. It was fun to get out of the house and sleep under the stars. Nate's dad always makes the best food when we go camping. They spend so much time making sure our trips are perfect and they always are. Kaiya had fun too. She loves to be outside and play in the sand and water. She did really well sleeping too even without her bed and bedtime routine.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU4GARlUEeJz55v8RwBr79MlYmBHRd-oOAFL1e012rvxInQzd2jK51NA8eKeEs0vj8X9Dm3okBsKK7DxK4wZlQtziZxOkUpLXg0Pm28Gem9_0SGGDmm3-hw-7XzIM7MHRieqKXfTu8cxYw/s1600/Nate+waverunner.jpg"><img style="display:block;

So we got her out and put her in the front seat. Nate thought it would be funny to put her in the bumbo in the front seat and seatbelt her in. He then wanted to give her our trip snacks and take a picture to make it look like she "called shot gun" and was ridin in the front eatin snacks. It was cute.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioOkMT6jdLVrRMEskf_ZcEBVOWZi8PPdmvPvQMN3ZXEuzhhNGot8jAqnrhD5x3qX_kpul2TcFbZzrBpzLkOpIBdsp155UC_3hyphenhyphenVMhNFfjaq5O2OtS7qMavvzf6BC_MQx8G5c3cQBYRqCjn/s1600/119.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioOkMT6jdLVrRMEskf_ZcEBVOWZi8PPdmvPvQMN3ZXEuzhhNGot8jAqnrhD5x3qX_kpul2TcFbZzrBpzLkOpIBdsp155UC_3hyphenhyphenVMhNFfjaq5O2OtS7qMavvzf6BC_MQx8G5c3cQBYRqCjn/s400/119.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651600553002490050" border="0" /></a>Such a happy girl!!Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-74269032658952405282011-09-12T14:30:00.000-07:002011-09-12T14:57:18.779-07:00Utah State Fair 2011My dad is one of the directors over Utah's Own. Every year at the state fair my dad heads up the Utah's Own food court where all Utah companies come and set up their booths to sell food. There are some awesome companies there this year so if you go to the fair, make sure you check it out. I had the Ribs from Richard's BBQ booth and it was FANTASTIC. Kaiya loved the fair of course. However, mother of the year right here forgot her stroller so Nate and I had to carry her the whole time. Not fun. She likes to be free to move around and look around and being held was not allowing her to do that. It was still fun though.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzalOZIyOwS7G-oJZHQxzHQ-58op9cH2IDy4_B2ht7pqgMXvhAXy4GlVPH8vFg-eYlKqHuGsm98RJ3LYMMKltKCIGmmh2NAqfLXNqdcWCEqCtn9uly4P09b8cHUV9tZ70XWRfKcTq2KQnc/s1600/264.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzalOZIyOwS7G-oJZHQxzHQ-58op9cH2IDy4_B2ht7pqgMXvhAXy4GlVPH8vFg-eYlKqHuGsm98RJ3LYMMKltKCIGmmh2NAqfLXNqdcWCEqCtn9uly4P09b8cHUV9tZ70XWRfKcTq2KQnc/s400/264.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651594167523789858" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'm pretty sure this is our only family photo...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU86gSR0Yo4bSQN42SgEY_4PByGUZkIl9OWuwSDQSFcwNbK3kMnX6MDQ9NXKzrjNgdG7UgIhWfXY44X-YHJqAwMW3hDpq4cnLX-rrn0i12pkN7slCdvAX9Y0O6uFseSLUipp_9N7gCR2dy/s1600/263.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU86gSR0Yo4bSQN42SgEY_4PByGUZkIl9OWuwSDQSFcwNbK3kMnX6MDQ9NXKzrjNgdG7UgIhWfXY44X-YHJqAwMW3hDpq4cnLX-rrn0i12pkN7slCdvAX9Y0O6uFseSLUipp_9N7gCR2dy/s400/263.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651594164329806066" border="0" /></a>Kaiya and Bampa<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjk6BN0CuPR-VmubO9Wuo0oKRd9LSl8BhTjmBsYi7bxd3YFxuWkISCMs-rA7I5jnBE-8XfupI6oqxtiGm4ix4otvEpKRBzCkOYsvA3iHh7n9XxACVQergUvHw6afqGP9S0fxbVTgAqZv6M/s1600/259.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjk6BN0CuPR-VmubO9Wuo0oKRd9LSl8BhTjmBsYi7bxd3YFxuWkISCMs-rA7I5jnBE-8XfupI6oqxtiGm4ix4otvEpKRBzCkOYsvA3iHh7n9XxACVQergUvHw6afqGP9S0fxbVTgAqZv6M/s400/259.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651594159919670850" border="0" /></a>She got sleepy and fell asleep on Nate's shoulder<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyBDDBdppD5II5D6v2AFbUtHI47QhXJvRP24w5Dgubo_ED_uUP-56gUqfZ_OQD_bjtQ1KXHKp_aKqxc4Dtgpu0WfQZkC3X2KgARNsh4RtKURbRiGOnCIaFgBP0NGOPnC4RmUmrjJ0o1zHy/s1600/254.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyBDDBdppD5II5D6v2AFbUtHI47QhXJvRP24w5Dgubo_ED_uUP-56gUqfZ_OQD_bjtQ1KXHKp_aKqxc4Dtgpu0WfQZkC3X2KgARNsh4RtKURbRiGOnCIaFgBP0NGOPnC4RmUmrjJ0o1zHy/s400/254.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651594148026212402" border="0" /></a>Man I love these two!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rnz0bnDnjYTPbnjIArVhygMax19vzCcPir3-qh7Nf-2zWt7q36cuI26oQYdAupKa5m56b54Lq3F9E5_di7OIlCTZMtP0L3G24Cl5VVj6pxfuToGblgztb10ami5fPbWwfcgN377o-CIj/s1600/265.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8rnz0bnDnjYTPbnjIArVhygMax19vzCcPir3-qh7Nf-2zWt7q36cuI26oQYdAupKa5m56b54Lq3F9E5_di7OIlCTZMtP0L3G24Cl5VVj6pxfuToGblgztb10ami5fPbWwfcgN377o-CIj/s400/265.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651594169056963218" border="0" /></a>She is such a cheeser!Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-52552834693022689272011-07-20T17:37:00.000-07:002011-07-20T21:38:43.211-07:00What we have been up to lately!Kaiya is now 5 months old. She is growing up so fast. She is hitting all her milestone and loving every minute of becoming a big girl. She will no longer lay on her back. The second we put her down, she rolls over to her tummy and then gets bored because she can't go anywhere, so she will then roll back over to her back and play with her toys for a minute before the cycle starts over. She's trying to master sitting up by herself, but being the Kaiya we all know and love, she just wants to be standing all the time and gets frustrated with sitting. She started eating solid food and has had squash, sweet potatoes, peas, bananas, and apples. She is not particularly fond of the peas and apples, but loves everything else. She is doing really well with it.<br />Nate and Kaiya have daddy daughter nights 3 nights a week while I am at work. I hate that I have to work full time, but I love that I have a job that allows me to work at night so Nate can be with her and then I can come home and be with her during the day. We have been super blessed in this department. I always told Nate that we wouldn't have kids until we knew one of us would always be able to be with her when the other person was away. Kaiya loves her daddy and I love that I don't have to worry about her for a minute while I'm at work. I love that they are able to bond and spend that quality time together.<br />Nate has been so amazing these last couple weeks. I have been working a lot and it has really taken a toll on my body since I come home from working a graveyard and he has to leave shortly after I get home and Kaiya wakes up almost the second I walk in the door. I feel like I am always tired and trying to catch up. Nate has totally stepped up and helped me so much with the house. He is Mr Mom lately. The laundry is always done, he makes dinner when I can't and he cleans up the house all the time. I feel like such a slacker, but he has really helped ease the stress of having to work full time. I was cracking up the other night when I realized what I have turned my husband into... He is the best daddy in the world. He was nervous before Kaiya was born that he wasn't going to know how to interact with a baby. He has been such a natural! He never stops amazing me. I have grown up around babies most of my life. I have developed a language over these years that I use when I talk to babies and it has continued with my own daughter. I have rubbed off on my husband... Words like tubbie, dipe (for diaper) bink, binkers, ba (for bottle) blankie have crept into his vocabulary. I'm sure there are more words that we use regularly that I just can't think of at this time. I think it is so cute. He is such an amazing person. I don't know how I lucked out and got him for my husband and father of my child.<br />Here are a few pictures and videos of what we have been up to lately!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjawKvj6fv6mmbdV9O0QoMsQViLJkG9aUMDth6v8W42F_r2-t-sq4AxHjNW7CeLF674hbyYTroIVEjQob-7zv8zunRlampt-ob36SkKM2mVpOYarXoRRjV2h36cpp-m6tqKy7drKa3LS2Us/s1600/kaiya+003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjawKvj6fv6mmbdV9O0QoMsQViLJkG9aUMDth6v8W42F_r2-t-sq4AxHjNW7CeLF674hbyYTroIVEjQob-7zv8zunRlampt-ob36SkKM2mVpOYarXoRRjV2h36cpp-m6tqKy7drKa3LS2Us/s400/kaiya+003.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5631641165652373154" border="0" /></a>Kaiya was so tired this night.

I hate it, but love it at the same time. Each phase is so fun! Few things for documentation. She started giggling on May 14th, which happened to be her three month mark. She giggled out loud for my mom, who thought she had giggled before. I walked into the room and heard her and freaked out calling Nate into the room, scaring Kaiya to death. It was the cutest thing ever! Us being the proud first time parents whipped out our camera and got it documented before she decided she was too tired to giggle anymore. She still has not giggled like that again for Nate and I. Just courtesy giggles. She also rolled over last Tuesday, May 24. Nate was putting lotion on her back and had her on her belly. She rolled over to her tummy and his first reaction was, "you little stinker-- stop wiggling." Then he quickly realized what had just happened and again scared Kaiya by yelling for me to get in the room to see it. Of course she wouldn't do it again for me. She did it twice on Sunday at my parents house proving it really happened. haha. She hates tummy time so as soon as she can get back to her back the better in her eyes. She has always been so alert and aware of her surroundings but everyday she continues to amaze me. She is so smart. Her coordination is amazing. She can see something she wants, reach for it and get it. she loves her toys above her car seat. I swear she gets cuter every day. She has been sitting in her bumbo since she was 2 months old and loves to sit up like a big girl and help mommy do chores around the house. She loves doing laundry with me and cooking dinner with me. She had rice cereal for the first time at 3 and a half months (coming in the next post...) She is such a good baby. She sleeps through the night and takes awesome naps during the day. I find it very hard to put her down because she is so dang cute!!Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-13154467083700996222011-04-24T23:02:00.000-07:002011-04-24T23:17:46.947-07:00A graduation and a blessingWe had a very eventful week this week! Nate graduated from BYU with his bachelors of Science with an emphasis in Exercise and Wellness. It was a great day! We have been waiting for this day for a long time!

She had a fun party with my side of the family and loved spending time with her cousins!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib__mCG8kW_CWzU_aOMcQFeWgFxOVha1B15_i6oum5cmcQS7kdxQhQSlXtUegpXHoygSu7dhsvArRj_5X37nVj_2c7E6rbFZt1y-U0hL8mDh8nqgCC4urWxHcSAHVo8WcgUB9NVsiSD9e0/s1600/BabyKaiya%2521+424.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib__mCG8kW_CWzU_aOMcQFeWgFxOVha1B15_i6oum5cmcQS7kdxQhQSlXtUegpXHoygSu7dhsvArRj_5X37nVj_2c7E6rbFZt1y-U0hL8mDh8nqgCC4urWxHcSAHVo8WcgUB9NVsiSD9e0/s400/BabyKaiya%2521+424.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599400090185783682" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIFbGEcNwxYsaeU8ZBURwQG57v1IdnwoSTzgyBFIYZAculWDiZgVb4k-vuwY2xahBHVIsZZOKUG88mTanb87vTyTKfpb8CjQIXPlDho-IRWr51MkmW7MCx_3A_CDv4SO_OezngM-YGTw4R/s1600/BabyKaiya%2521+426.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIFbGEcNwxYsaeU8ZBURwQG57v1IdnwoSTzgyBFIYZAculWDiZgVb4k-vuwY2xahBHVIsZZOKUG88mTanb87vTyTKfpb8CjQIXPlDho-IRWr51MkmW7MCx_3A_CDv4SO_OezngM-YGTw4R/s400/BabyKaiya%2521+426.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599400404904826130" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3qsnGvKuMAMeyAFqHAOuNVdwqBNb_rjo6hsQaWlkI4Ptx7svfRhsEf7E1Zwcgo4K3vRjBC455dJXY8ZvBL6Pb7Ej9Xt-KlE7HdE2EYg9K-5Rtzu7EuRBxKO5Y7Tefug-GrpjoDRLv2Hg4/s1600/BabyKaiya%2521+421.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3qsnGvKuMAMeyAFqHAOuNVdwqBNb_rjo6hsQaWlkI4Ptx7svfRhsEf7E1Zwcgo4K3vRjBC455dJXY8ZvBL6Pb7Ej9Xt-KlE7HdE2EYg9K-5Rtzu7EuRBxKO5Y7Tefug-GrpjoDRLv2Hg4/s400/BabyKaiya%2521+421.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599400110254640210" border="0" /></a>Kaiya and her friend Brooklyn who is exactly one week younger.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvgwRyDRo8NjRoPOO7z4YJjhV6kz0RKt_rooJ2Q8Fz5-Q_FYdFwq0n9sXMk_dHuZbI3cVuYsvpAYcijb_Qa09nc72XRkBNs5T6q_qT4ElRSY97K3imehVv-Tppm2sfl17Ble-8lZ-CWmAS/s1600/BabyKaiya%2521+422.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvgwRyDRo8NjRoPOO7z4YJjhV6kz0RKt_rooJ2Q8Fz5-Q_FYdFwq0n9sXMk_dHuZbI3cVuYsvpAYcijb_Qa09nc72XRkBNs5T6q_qT4ElRSY97K3imehVv-Tppm2sfl17Ble-8lZ-CWmAS/s400/BabyKaiya%2521+422.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599400097166211138" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9fjvXRqSZyqex63O8M7BHeLai2has2rUUorE5yQPME_36Al4pN-VFGCVgaXUM1Rr7nBjkra65N82w4YyI-0uMDgYf4WxuGpNcb6_gO5HHWn6JvNI_Ti6lZSXffrBoQ1rQZeRQMcpG5g7/s1600/BabyKaiya%2521+423.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd9fjvXRqSZyqex63O8M7BHeLai2has2rUUorE5yQPME_36Al4pN-VFGCVgaXUM1Rr7nBjkra65N82w4YyI-0uMDgYf4WxuGpNcb6_gO5HHWn6JvNI_Ti6lZSXffrBoQ1rQZeRQMcpG5g7/s400/BabyKaiya%2521+423.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599400099231320018" border="0" /></a>This baby loves the camera.

The pregnancy, the delivery, the recovery. I'm not trying to brag with this post, but I'm more just wanting to document everything so I can remember next time I decide to have a baby... :) and to remember what this one was like. First off, we got pregnant way faster than expected. My family has a long history of infertility, so I just figured I would be the same way. I went off birth control and was extremely surprised the next month when I saw 2 lines on the pregnancy test. A few weeks went by and I expected the nausea to set in, like it does for most pregnant people. I waited and waited... It never came. 10 weeks rolls around and I have my first appointment. I weigh in, expecting the number on the scale to slightly scare me, only to find that I have lost 11 pounds... weird... no nausea or vomiting was involved in this drastic drop. 14 weeks we find out that our little baby is a girl. We were both so excited. She was a little stinker though. It took over an hour to make the discovery and we even checked again a few days later to make sure. The rest of the pregnancy goes on perfectly. I worked all the way up to the week before my delivery. Of course, it's kind of hard not to when you work for your OB. No excuses haha. I was working at the hospital as well putting in another 36 hours in a row there in graveyards. My belly stayed pretty little and no one believed I was due any day. In a previous post, you read about our labor scare. After that day I didn't have one single contracting and didn't progress at all. Another weird.... We woke up the morning of the induction, drove to the hospital totally calm, checked in about 5:10 AM and I got into my gown. The anesthesiologist was called. They started my pitocin around 7 and shortly after Dr Taylor came in to insert my epidural. It was perfect. I didn't feel a thing. Even when he said, "K you're going to feel a little pressure and some burning" I didn't feel anything. I was so surprised when he said he was done. It was a prefect epidural. I could still move my legs and feel my toes, but I never felt one contraction. Nate would look at the monitor and get this look of pain on his face and say, "can't you feel that??? That was a big one!" Nope, didn't feel it. Dr Judd came about 8:30 to break my water. Nate thought that was pretty cool. Kaiya panicked a little. Her heart rate showed her distress, so I had to have oxygen on for about 10 hours and constantly lie on one of my sides to keep her relaxed. 3:00 rolls around and I'm completely dilated. Dr Judd "rests and descends" me. He was busy at the office so I told them to tell him to stay until he was done. I was feeling great and could hold on until he could get there. He came about 5:30. Everything was set up at about 5:45. After checking me he realized her head was turned to the side, preventing her from coming down into the birth canal enough for me to get her out by myself. He got the forceps out. I pushed maybe 6 times and she was out by 5:51 PM. (I thanked him for doing all the work later... :) ) She was a little banged up from her head being to the side and from being in the birth canal for so long, but she was still beautiful. It was the weirdest/coolest experience of my life. It still doesn't seem real that she is my baby. Recovery was a little rough for the first 3 days. My dad came down to stay with me and helped a ton with meals and with Kaiya. Nate had to go back to school. 2 and a half weeks after she was born, I went back to work at the hospital. It's been a crazy journey so far, but I couldn't love her anymore. Nate and I stare at her constantly and just keep saying to each other "I love this girl so much! How is she so beautiful! She is so prefect! I can't stop staring at her!" I couldn't be happier with this experience.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDY0P2NGYot4gzrK5Fkg4liceo0UGrZ1ZqFB41DFenipnOBKovzNfD2ss9UDHVOESDNvNhC5KXaoXGboFxNG601TDOHRRr_mhG3q0xN9oaNtkEJagxrMKXBswt4iIb_d_bKXrpCJzQdL7p/s1600/BabyKaiya%2521+002.jpg"><img style="display: block;

We're finishing up packing things and getting everything finalized and ready for our 5 AM start! We should be sleeping right now, but we both feel like we still have so much to do! Here is one last belly picture before her arrival! Our next post will be of her cute face!!Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-63372974085897891412011-01-25T08:41:00.001-08:002011-01-25T09:35:39.698-08:00Ready or Not here comes Baby Kaiya...Very long story with no pictures. Sorry. I will try to update my baby bump tonight if I remember. We had a little labor scare yesterday. Here is how it went...<br /><br />So.... After 4 hours of contracting every 4 minutes during the night, I called my sister in a panic/emotional attack trying to find out if I was really in labor, or if I was just crazy. Worst part of the story is that my family had just arrived in Hawaii and they will be there for an entire week. My sister answers the phone with "You better not be in labor." That's when the tears started. I'm the OB/GYN nurse here. I should know what to do. I should know if I'm in labor or not. I had done everything I tell my patients to do when they think they are in labor. Get in the tub, drink plenty of fluids, lay down on your left side. If the contractions stop you're in false labor. Well... They didn't stop. So after getting off the phone with my sister and mom, I fought with myself for 30 minutes to call my boss, who happens to be my OB/GYN. I decided to call Dr Weibell instead because he was on call, and Dr Judd wasn't and I felt really bad waking him up at 3 in the morning. After a long emotional (on my end) conversation with Dr Weibell, we decided I would just stay home and labor for a few hours and then come in to work at 8 and get checked. So I did. And contracted still every 4 minutes for the rest of the night, getting zero minutes of sleep all night. Nate was slightly panicked and didn't want to go to school. I made him, telling him I would call him as soon as Dr Judd got to the office and he could come over for my exam. Both of us were panicking because we didn't even have a hospital bag packed. I threw a couple things togther after taking him to school, having NO idea what I need. Once I got to work, my good friends and co worker, another RN, insisted on calling Dr Judd at the hospital to see if I should just come over there. He wanted me to come there instead of waiting for him to come to the office. Again, I get all emotional, crying saying that I can't be in labor. I still have 4 more weeks. AND my family is gone for a whole week! So my friend takes me to pick up Nate at school so he can drive me to the hospital. Once there, Dr Judd comes in to check things out. After checking me he says "Are you in full blown Labor? No. Are you going to be very soon? Yes." Great. Now what. I can't have this baby right now! He says I'm 100% effaced, dilated to a 1 and a half and my bag of water is buldging. He said he could break it very easily if he wanted. Awesome. Usually I would be ecstatic with this news. The only thoughts that keep running through my head are- She can't come now. I can't have a NICU baby. What if her lungs aren't ready. My family isn't here! What am I going to do! I still have so much to do to get ready. I don't even have her crib! Where is she going to sleep! So Dr Judd gives me the option to be admitted to stop labor, or go home and try to sleep it off stating I'll either wake up in full blown labor or I will wake up feeling great. I chose to go home. So with dr's orders to take some awesome drugs, I go home and knock myself out. Luckily I woke up to decreased contractions that have since stopped completely. One night of "taking it easy" was enough for me. I was going crazy being home all day and all night. I decided to come to work this morning. What better place to go into labor than at your OB office with your OB right there, right? So here we sit and wait. Not knowing when she'll come. Predicting it will be this week. Dr Judd doesn't think I'll make it to Sunday, but I keep hoping she'll stay put for at least 6 more days. I've been banned to my little office by my co workers. I'm not "allowed" to walk around all day. SO everyone please send the "baby Kaiya you need to stay in there" vibes my way because I need them!! We'll keep you updated!Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-53216937517894904272010-12-07T09:10:00.001-08:002010-12-07T09:15:04.735-08:00Baby Kaiya in 3DWe got our baby girl to somewhat cooperate for a 3d photo shoot. We only had to do it 4 TIMES over a 3 week period of time!! This little stinker likes to snuggle (which I really hope lasts when she's here). She always has her little hands over her face and is sucking on her fingers. We got 3 pretty good pictures out of those 4 photo shoots. I still think these pictures are slightly creepy, but they're cute. It will be interesting to see how much she looks like them when she's here!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547988993442984834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVtLjbu9WmbzN3TNPAdof5x00PWJcsnk-GDLT7nSoBRQItCLkVmCbczT8lv619DWnTE1iHphd1cI5tmEx8kxA8iSvBdq6IDFJHuINAsiGV7knGeYGRGR5b9rIwQip1wqX54JbovAmKcqXL/s400/kaiya3.bmp" /><br />This was at 26 weeks<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Rg_qHVuZxRXbecRoYMScX49hixTZ-LgFvupPjBvBuO4-kMONX80AwH806clUi-ez9jMH3Ybb1q_chMmhPAuxHmzddfPrQ8GOqDqucey1k_S7BzqgV3D-xI964ntwhqsdWdF_aZM3qL1k/s1600/kaiya2.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547988991779760514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3Rg_qHVuZxRXbecRoYMScX49hixTZ-LgFvupPjBvBuO4-kMONX80AwH806clUi-ez9jMH3Ybb1q_chMmhPAuxHmzddfPrQ8GOqDqucey1k_S7BzqgV3D-xI964ntwhqsdWdF_aZM3qL1k/s400/kaiya2.bmp" /></a> 29 weeks<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyZ4Eu-lKb8zKMl5Bu1m9O7NoU_ofPhwBYkK5reTAlM6KV-E0cblw8pfPsnFmacDTUKAahuh0GjxcADxxNUWrZ6rN1RSKi0zLuDG7WNDTzotalyX-D5XHotHOzPj3htmv3oi6KI2PMKwjK/s1600/kaiya.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547988984884616114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyZ4Eu-lKb8zKMl5Bu1m9O7NoU_ofPhwBYkK5reTAlM6KV-E0cblw8pfPsnFmacDTUKAahuh0GjxcADxxNUWrZ6rN1RSKi0zLuDG7WNDTzotalyX-D5XHotHOzPj3htmv3oi6KI2PMKwjK/s400/kaiya.bmp" /></a><br />29 weeks- Nate says she her eye looks creepy in this picture, but it was the best shot we could get.

This holiday season is going to make this little one seem to come faster due to our crazy schedule over the next month. I'm excited though. She's getting bigger and bigger everyday. Nate tells me everyday that I look bigger than the day before. Her movements are getting bigger. Sometimes we just sit and watch my belly move around... Sometimes I think she's doing to wave. She's crazy in there. We're getting more and more excited for her arrival and are loving every minute of the preparation for her!!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXr0SkSEk_vcyAXFm8CJU0tpgQeW7arkOGHhHxH9GO_iOkwSgjBcgvVKeGIbF8BAiCnM_1vhwdtNyNH8kZeZopdBi111-qdUPEFec4pMWXQQhEWXBzxQCJtCeU0FGjQz1PAQXledSkxp50/s1600/lasthomegamecheeronnews7monthbelly+047.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544811049838521234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXr0SkSEk_vcyAXFm8CJU0tpgQeW7arkOGHhHxH9GO_iOkwSgjBcgvVKeGIbF8BAiCnM_1vhwdtNyNH8kZeZopdBi111-qdUPEFec4pMWXQQhEWXBzxQCJtCeU0FGjQz1PAQXledSkxp50/s400/lasthomegamecheeronnews7monthbelly+047.jpg" /></a><br /><br />First this is Nate being so happy to be studying...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijWb5g4hUyTmzmCkKqU5YsC8MQRcrBK-FPrfwd5GBQNuVB89yI9GYfegG-FIEkJ4s5qJaBcBx69DcBY2qk1gpCFs-Z7wdKM9t7nyHdw1WFGy999_rILRcsZMQxVkIyKPpah7UGeoHIFx7/s1600/lasthomegamecheeronnews7monthbelly+056.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544810944096548258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiijWb5g4hUyTmzmCkKqU5YsC8MQRcrBK-FPrfwd5GBQNuVB89yI9GYfegG-FIEkJ4s5qJaBcBx69DcBY2qk1gpCFs-Z7wdKM9t7nyHdw1WFGy999_rILRcsZMQxVkIyKPpah7UGeoHIFx7/s400/lasthomegamecheeronnews7monthbelly+056.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwDbijuux-RfT2xGqQyaOHtxTrzJI2GlLqNcZO2sIy5py7MWI48s8Svk9osHRmPKPJDL3cqZ-4KJXxb4u4Edf5W_vS2_GNXpZ8kmjcvOfut_hM8LUtb0caFFiYI06oykTDVqZiNJF9XtkQ/s1600/lasthomegamecheeronnews7monthbelly+059.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544810941432568866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwDbijuux-RfT2xGqQyaOHtxTrzJI2GlLqNcZO2sIy5py7MWI48s8Svk9osHRmPKPJDL3cqZ-4KJXxb4u4Edf5W_vS2_GNXpZ8kmjcvOfut_hM8LUtb0caFFiYI06oykTDVqZiNJF9XtkQ/s400/lasthomegamecheeronnews7monthbelly+059.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Nate wanted me to do the "fingers" to tell how far along I was, and put on the same shirt so he can compare to see the progression.Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-45708004092001742172010-11-28T19:27:00.000-08:002010-11-28T19:37:34.860-08:00It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!I couldn't have been more excited to decorate for Christmas this year. Nate told me 2 weeks before Thanksgiving that I had to wait until at least the day before Thanksgiving to put up Christmas stuff. Due to the unplanned funeral for my Nana, we didn't get our tree until yesterday. We finally decorated it today. I love Christmas and the feeling it brings to our home. This is the first Christmas tree we have had since being married. My mom bought us all of our tree decorations and I was so excited to see how everything would turn out. While I was at it I decided to put up some pictures of our apartment.

Sienna (his older sister) decided that she is going to give us baby boy in exchange for our baby girl. She wants a little sister so bad. She calls our little one "Kaiya Kaiya" or "Kaiya Maya" She calls me all the time to ask "Is yous baby ready yet??" I have to keep reminding her that she will come to her birthday party in February.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijg5Q_z9WFD40g6o9aOMGL_T_Mrpxt8NplVKcZ9Q8wNyuDJPFta4Thk0pwjMkHMOWTK7xrwYhuxgxwY6CDNZX4Tsm6r01l7zRVXehuCJxVVIVAkFoTJXqUkXtXG8YZKrifViO89j6nfYdJ/s1600/Nate+and+Nicki+318.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529554655643290002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijg5Q_z9WFD40g6o9aOMGL_T_Mrpxt8NplVKcZ9Q8wNyuDJPFta4Thk0pwjMkHMOWTK7xrwYhuxgxwY6CDNZX4Tsm6r01l7zRVXehuCJxVVIVAkFoTJXqUkXtXG8YZKrifViO89j6nfYdJ/s400/Nate+and+Nicki+318.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlY3hAQayIg2RN-7M479_OFQANhCgCQROgIGY_UWrL9aKS24fHEXT6RJJoc9SwYcI1WuNNS4rNGszr6oTvwK8rm_i8AFVbLscPvIsGyHFDHGX_JVWIOCPIPDc12VO-KWq04v09LLP6HuHV/s1600/Nate+and+Nicki+363.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529555518725362882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlY3hAQayIg2RN-7M479_OFQANhCgCQROgIGY_UWrL9aKS24fHEXT6RJJoc9SwYcI1WuNNS4rNGszr6oTvwK8rm_i8AFVbLscPvIsGyHFDHGX_JVWIOCPIPDc12VO-KWq04v09LLP6HuHV/s400/Nate+and+Nicki+363.jpg" /></a>I was able to go to cheer nationals this year with Nate. It was so much fun. I had never been to Florida before. Our hotel was right on the beach. I loved every second of it and wish I could go back this next year with them, but we decided that wouldn't be a good idea with a newborn... :(<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfCWOX6ZcSlTpVn_9irdBB1NZJw2RYoGkUoA50D0isA7N3nivEpQKVOnIW-3laZUg0Csu20Zx3ZfVI4ck16sRATtOd2A9GVpZ9b4nxS7QRcyUnw0FPIdIFGUdtHvTUXGufT0TM-ZWbEcAi/s1600/Nate+and+Nicki+370.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529556667223803970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfCWOX6ZcSlTpVn_9irdBB1NZJw2RYoGkUoA50D0isA7N3nivEpQKVOnIW-3laZUg0Csu20Zx3ZfVI4ck16sRATtOd2A9GVpZ9b4nxS7QRcyUnw0FPIdIFGUdtHvTUXGufT0TM-ZWbEcAi/s400/Nate+and+Nicki+370.jpg" /></a>We decided even before we went to Nationals in April that we were ready to start our little family.

Luckily, we got hook ups a few hours before the midnight showing so we didn't have to stay up too late. The boys said they would only go if we bought them "Team Alice" shirts, since that's the only reason the watch the movies anyway. So we agreed. Everyone at the theater loved them and thought they were so cool in their shirts. The best part is that none of us girls wore team shirts. I did tell my family that night about us being pregnant. We went to Texas Roadhouse and I wore a shirt that said "little nudger" on the belly. It took them a few minutes to get it, but they finally did.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL3LJpDVOFEVRYyAh837eTKN6mY2aR8gHJlMzW4glrRsyeLhh8LQv60mixQ6RrLvbWy3EaRwRjhu7J5GwVRgIXIhcqPRINnT9YZE9yZS6IhHzXigtEM8Ekd9qHLndLShfvPOer0AtHDAK6/s1600/Nate+and+Nicki+204.jpg"><br /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLWA-HcIS3b4OkgAC5iIBcrtFZ4Tk0tOQLqMc6ZB5Ye3aOaHuJWNyGeFs-erwHLdGQ3QHwZqvS6bNn5vcEGJ_Ax4edG-ORf1Q-OerSX_rz7aJzTutDvtC7nxBY7BvPdqJ601s2y8OOpbCh/s1600/Nate+and+Nicki+437.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529555525871705650" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLWA-HcIS3b4OkgAC5iIBcrtFZ4Tk0tOQLqMc6ZB5Ye3aOaHuJWNyGeFs-erwHLdGQ3QHwZqvS6bNn5vcEGJ_Ax4edG-ORf1Q-OerSX_rz7aJzTutDvtC7nxBY7BvPdqJ601s2y8OOpbCh/s400/Nate+and+Nicki+437.jpg" /></a>Nate surprised me with Stadium of Fire featuring Carrie Underwood tickets for our 2 year anniversary. It was on our actual anniversary. We both LOVE her. I cried when he gave them to me because I was so excited. I blame it on the pregnancy hormones. I took him to sushi because it is his favorite and we enjoyed a night of good music and fireworks!Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-3834035782175685032010-10-05T06:46:00.000-07:002010-10-05T06:48:55.266-07:0020 Week Ultrasound<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRNTr1Ch8lBiW_mfUN7Hupa6EFqZhqCidLEJvbbPTRPSMu__iUbQdtIgxPybzHn1RvQrZGbEAjJeDVNXBf_jAQTAhpoLVF1lzBFu4WNJMv54jzcvi78jJ06S9Hk4QG50x5nDPF1iwBxEFG/s1600/Baby+bump.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRNTr1Ch8lBiW_mfUN7Hupa6EFqZhqCidLEJvbbPTRPSMu__iUbQdtIgxPybzHn1RvQrZGbEAjJeDVNXBf_jAQTAhpoLVF1lzBFu4WNJMv54jzcvi78jJ06S9Hk4QG50x5nDPF1iwBxEFG/s400/Baby+bump.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524558477529043666" border="0" /></a><br />Yesterday we had our 20 week ultrasound. It went really well! Everything looked great and she is measuring perfectly. We saw everything from her heart to her diaphragm. Everything was perfect. We got a couple really cute profile pictures. This one is my favorite because it looks like she is smiling and about to suck on her fingers.Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291009897756485442.post-71088824371701908542010-10-03T20:45:00.000-07:002010-10-03T21:00:25.499-07:00Baby Bump UpdateSo Nate and I have been slackers on taking pictures of my belly, but to be honest, we have been waiting for a belly to appear. We decided that since I'm now 5 months we better start even though there is not much to look at. Sorry for all of you who wanted to see a little baby belly... I promise I am pregnant. She is just staying nice and hidden I guess. A few facts I should document so I don't forget..I started feeling her pretty early. On September 9th I officially was able to distinguish her movements. I had felt her before that but I convinced myself there was no way it was her. Nate felt her just about a week or two after that. She moves like crazy. She loves music and will always start having a dance party whenever music is being played loud. I'm currently in Harmony Senior with Clayton Productions and whenever Kim plays the piano really loud she goes nuts. She also really likes Nate's voice. She will move a lot when he talks to her but then when he pushes on my belly to feel it, she stops. He gets so mad. It's so amazing to me how much I love her already. It makes me smile every time I feel her little movements. It's becoming a reality. Staci and Kath decided to have my first baby shower on October 28th, which happens to be my birthday. I can't think of a better way to celebrate! It's been so weird registering for baby stuff. It's a lot harder than I thought. I have NO idea what I'm going to need. Thank goodness for people around me who have been there and can tell me what I should get and what I shouldn't waste my money on. Well there you have it. We have our 20 week ultrasound tomorrow so I will get some pictures of her then. I'm really anxious to see how big she is. Our last ultrasound was at 14 weeks to find out the gender so it will be amazing to see how much she has grown. I will post some of her cute photo shoot tomorrow!<br /><br />Please please forgive my sick face. I just got out of the shower and Nate insisted that he get a full body shot... Gross.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGAy9JAT_9dbXtFXPnHwwRInRSW06Ta0f-AqwvLWoptVgmv7MVxvWOAHzMZEZ_QKO4mQrtdEuZ7TtUgwYpIRSfczpr0X4ums3JaJQw0VFB8SzFYoXe4GIGpPajKVEBtlTrSEXBacnpRLy/s1600/Baby+bump+001.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaGAy9JAT_9dbXtFXPnHwwRInRSW06Ta0f-AqwvLWoptVgmv7MVxvWOAHzMZEZ_QKO4mQrtdEuZ7TtUgwYpIRSfczpr0X4ums3JaJQw0VFB8SzFYoXe4GIGpPajKVEBtlTrSEXBacnpRLy/s400/Baby+bump+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524035076884357442" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYU-3RKvzN7FzmvkcVgJhA7sQWQQHs2UQv8p5p99FVcV16118V5JzU5fqrW3ycehlRV9ezP0PB9R_sLWrlnLnUKcxn-9PguXaxR0jJR82sVubTS3_SuDKPK5KWA9Vibn3ceTj8gnelRQDr/s1600/Baby+bump+002.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYU-3RKvzN7FzmvkcVgJhA7sQWQQHs2UQv8p5p99FVcV16118V5JzU5fqrW3ycehlRV9ezP0PB9R_sLWrlnLnUKcxn-9PguXaxR0jJR82sVubTS3_SuDKPK5KWA9Vibn3ceTj8gnelRQDr/s400/Baby+bump+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524035080930535842" border="0" /></a>Nicklepicklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10149830026980234651noreply@blogger.com6
