Clean Up!

I spilled cough syrup on our floor this week! Another red stain to add to the list. But I bought some stuff I think will take it out. Mya was so cute though. She saw us scrubbing the carpet, so she had to come help! I love that girl! She gets more and more fun every day!

This is right after Mya was born! I haven't written anything about this day, so this will mostly be for me. Holy cow, the memories from that day! We checked in the hospital at 9:00 am and 12 1/2 hours later, I had her! I was started at 10:30 and the labor only lasted 11 hours. And no, it wasn't awful labor for those 11 hours. Since I was started, we pretty much just hung out and watched movies until it was time to have her. At one point I told Justin to go get food because it was taking so long (he had Arby's)...while I ate ice chips and sucked on suckers. I think around 5:00 I had them start the epidural and it got more intense as the night went on. Justin did fine during labor, but the epidural is what got to him...actually, the epidural is what hurt the most, but it is so worth it! As far as actually pushing, it only lasted 45 minutes (which the nurse told me it usually lasts about 1 1/2 hours for most on their first child). It was really an amazing experience. She was born at 9:29 pm on Sunday, January 13th. She weighed 6 lbs 1 oz (or afterwards when they took her in the nursery, they told Justin she was really just 6 lbs flat, but I just go by what the initial weight was) and 18 inches long. Not long after, my parents came in and that's who took this picture. Then it was just us for the rest of the night. I was starving and so tired! The hospital had a "school lunch" packed for me. I've never been a fan of turkey sandwiches, but that was the best turkey sandwich I've ever had...and the chips and juice...It all tasted so good after all of that. After I ate, I slept for about an hour while Justin just held Mya and soaked it all in. Then I held her for a while...just stared at her, then we put her down and slept. I have such vivid memories of sounds and experiences from that night and the next few in the hospital. It was amazing!

Going Private

So Channel 5 news did this story about blogs that I've decided to go private. Let me know any of you that follow this blog and I'll send you an invite. Here's the link to the story for any who are interested: http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=4699330

Mya Has A New Cousin!

Trichelle had her baby! Zaden was born yesterday afternoon. We went to the hospital to visit them yesterday and today, and he is just so cute! Mya got a little jealous though when I was holding him. Congratulations Joe and Trichelle! He's a keeper!

Halloween

Halloween was so fun! I loved dressing up and dressing Mya up. I was impressed, Justin even dressed up! (As himself with clothes I don't let him wear throughout the year...then just added his redneck teeth).

Mya went as a lady bug. We've dressed her up in it 3 times, so I think she'll be glad not to get in that again.

After getting all dressed up, we went to each of the grandparent's house to show her off (and of course to get my mom's traditional homemade doughnuts!).
The last 2 years I've made navajo tacos and banana bread, but with a baby this year, it was more fun to visit longer and just relax. After Mya went to bed, Justin and I watched a movie. So it was a fun and relaxing year. It goes by so fast though!
