A FEW OF JAYLEE'S FIRSTS!!!

FIRST BATH AT HOME

She loves to have the water ran over her head then she's ready to get in her bathtub.

FIRST TIME TAKING A BINKI

She has been so good at taking whatever we put in her mouth. Breast feeding shes done great, binki she'll take if shes mad, and we just gave her a bottle 2 days ago and she took that too. Gotta love that they cooperate when you want them to. 

FIRST TIME W PAINTED TOES NAILS. 

FIRST TIME HANGING OUT W HER NEW BEST FRIEND MIA. 

Marcae came down for a few days to spend some time w us. Marcae and I have been best friends since 5th grade and we love our get togethers. We always said we wanted to have little ones together so they can be best friends too. We stuck to our plan and here they are. 

FIRST TIME IN THE BJORN!!! SHE LOVES IT. 

FIRST FAMILY PICTURE!!

FIRST TIME AT THE PARK!

She loves to be outside. It calms her right down if she is fussy at all. 

FIRST TIME AT THE POOL!

Its HOT HOT HOT down here in St.George and w out a pool we wouldnt survive. 

She slept most of the time but was able to enjoy it for awhile. 

Nolan is like a fish when it comes to being in the water.My nephews came over to swim w

Jaylee too and he loves to throw them around. He can't wait til Jaylee is old enough to play w

her like that.

She's starting early. Her and mom laying out in the sun. Don't worry she's all lubed up.

Doesn't she look so comfy though. She loved it and actually loved the water. What a trooper. 

OUR NEWEST ADDITION

OUR LIVES HAVE CHANGED FOREVER.. WE WELCOME OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL.

After 9 long months of pregnancy we finally have our little one here. She was born 19 days early. I had pre-eclampcia which is really high blood pressure, protein in my urine, risk for seizures and stroke and I had alot of swelling in my feet and hands. I normally have really bony feet and ankles so to see KANKLES was unusual. The only way to cure it is to have the baby. I wasn't complaining one bit. Pregnancy didn't treat me well the whole 9 mo. It was one thing after another. Complications from day one of being pregnant clear to the end. Everyone told me it would be worth it in the end. I went in Sat night June 14th at 7:00 pm and didnt have her until Sunday "Fathers Day June 15th " at 12:01 pm. It was a long process and pretty uncomfortable all night but when I looked at her for the first time all that pain and misery went away and it was all worth it. She is perfect and healthy. What more could you ask for. 

HAPPY FATHERS DAY NOLAN. What a perfect day to have her. 

 

PROUD PARENTS.. THE FIRST TIME I HELD MY LITTLE GIRL. 

We were all worried about Nolan and if he would make it through the delivery. He has a really hard time w blood or anything. You talk about something grose and he'll be white as a ghost and about to pass out or he'll start dry heaving. I had to have my 2 sister in laws and one of my best friends Jalene in the room to help me just in case, but he did great and watched his little girl be delivered. HE EVEN CUT THE CORD. Great job sweetie.

 

HE ADORES HER

Nolan has been wanting a baby since the day we were married. He is so good w kids and I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband. I know he is going to be the best dad.

 

5 LBS 15 OZ. 19 INCES LONG

SOME OF OUR SUPPORT AT THE HOSPITAL!

Jalene and my sister- in- Law Jodi were 2 that were there for support during the delivery along w Lindsey. Shane and Jeremy (Jalenes lover boy) joined us after. My two little nephews couldn't wait to meet their new cousin. Notice them playing Dr. in the back ground. My delivery was so laid back. Dr. Chalmers was sitting back telling jokes letting the nurses do their thing while I was TRYING to push. There was one time I was right in the middle of pushing and he made me laugh so there went that chance to get her out.  Everyone was impressed w how fun the delivery part was. I only pushed for a half hour. The hours before were very long though. 

DOES NOLAN LOOK HAPPY TO BE A DADDY?

MY NEPHEWS AND NIECE-   BROCK, BREX, AND ARIANA. 

They all love to hold her and know not to touch the baby w dirty hands. Brock and Brex said, I better wash my hands so I can hold her. If you know who their mom is you'd understand. They know all about germs and being clean. Jodi your the best mom ever.

 

MY DR. (DR. ROBERT CHALMERS) I SERIOUSLY LOVE THIS GUY!

I found Dr. Chalmers by a referral when I HAD to get in on a friday because of serious pains. He was the only one open that friday. I was 5 1/2 weeks along and found cysts on my ovary. He was so personable and really cared about me as a patient. I wasn't just another number. He is new to ST. George, moved here from Alaska. I was so impressed w him that we just decided to stick w him. The only thing I will miss about being pregnant is being able to go and see him. (Sound a little weird??) He really is the best so I recommend that any of you who need a Doc, go and see him. HE'S THE BEST YOU'LL EVER FIND.   Thanks Dr. Chalmers for being there for me through my pregnancy and taking care of me. Youre the greatest. 

NOLAN LOOKS SO PEACEFUL W HIS NEW LITTLE GIRL!

ISN'T IT SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE WHO HAD THE BABY LAYS IN THE BED??

Nolan was so exhausted. After 2 nights of no sleep he finally crawled in the bed w me. He wasn't a fan of the hard couch and recliner.  I was up and at em. I showered and got ready for the day. I was a little....Ok, REALLY sore but felt so much better not being pregnant. I was ready to go home and so was Nolan. We asked if we could go home early and Dr. Chalmers agreed to let us go for good behavior :)

 

OUR BEGINNING

Well I guess it's time to start blogging since its the THING TO DO. I have no idea how to do all this but hopefully I'll get the hang of it.

Nolan and I have been married for a little over 2 years. We were set up on a blind date believe it or not. It was love at first sight and we spent everyday together from that day on. It was kind of a shocker for everyone that knew him because he had never had an OFFICIAL girlfriend. He was just a "PLAYER" I guess you could say or just not interested in being committed to one inparticular girl so just played the field. So, I basically won his heart as he did mine. We were married a year later in the Salt Lake Temple. It was an amazing day and I married an amazing guy. I think I got pretty lucky and knew that I couldn't let this one go. He treats me like a princess and even puts up w me which I'm sure is rough at times. He is my best friend in the world and we are definitely very happy together.

OUR HONEYMOON!!!

We went on a Eastern Caribbean Cruise for our honeymoon before we had to start "REAL LIFE" together. We had to go to Cinnamon Bay where my other boyfriend "Kenny Chesney" loves to spend most of his time. It was beautiful.

BINGO ANYONE??? ONLY 10.00 A CARD!!!

Who wins bingo anyway??? I never win anything and definitely NOT bingo on a cruise ship w how many people??? Nolan begged me to let him buy 2 bingo cards. I thought it was rediculous but said whatever. The numbers are being called and we kept getting closer and closer and when they called out the last number, we both jumped up and yelled BINGO... WE WON.. I couldn't believe it.

$750.00 later I wasn't complaining about the $20.00 to buy the card. What a perfect honeymoon gift.

WHAT'S BETTER THAN A GREAT TAN AND ICE CREAM???

There is nothing better than being able to lay out in the sun and then have all you can eat soft serve ICE CREAM and pizza. I'm not a fan of the pizza but could eat the soft serve ice cream all day long. WAIT..... I did. I love that stuff. The laying out part I think I went a little over board. I got heat stroke one of the days and passed out.. I was sprawled out on a table IN MY SWIMMING SUIT w people all around giving me salt water. Why I'm not sure but I somehow survived the moment that I really thought I was gonna die. BUT, my hubby helped me through it and I learned a good lesson. Drink more water if your gonna lay out for to long. I'm an idiot.
