My Sweet Baby Tyler

My baby turned 3 weeks old yesterday. Time is flying by with her. I can't believe she is almost a month old.

We are getting into the swing of being parents and love it. Tyler is such a good baby. She sleeps better at night then she does during the day. I am loving that for sure. She eats like a horse and has already gained almost 2 and 1/2 pounds.

We sure love this little girl.

Tyler Anne Hunt

Born March 23rd @ 3:17pm

7lbs 9 oz.

20 inches long

She has her dads weird long toes. :)

We are head over heels in love.

All is well in life.

Due and Green Dots

Before you all start saying to me"your due date is only an esitmate" I will tell you first,

I know that.

So there.

I just read a blog of one of my sisters friends who was due the same day as me and has her little guy and I am just jealous. I am so ready to meet this little girl. I miss her for the 3 days she's supposed to have been here already. If I make it to Friday (which seems likley to me) than we will smoke her out. She's being evicted- but she has an even better place to stay.

I am at a training for work this week and I love it! I figured I'd work until Tyler comes rather than sit and wait and I am glad I have this distraction. As many of you know I work with victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. As I have attended this training I have been given so much hope that my daughter will not be a 1 in 3 statistic to this epidemic. I am grateful for those who believe in being good people, as I believe that most human beings are. Please check out this website and content- you can do your part- zero personal growth required. :)

Amazing Martha, AKA Bobbi My Sister

So lets just say that when it comes to "cute" or "craft"...I just don't have it.

Lukcily, I am related to this really cool chick who is!!

So it came time to nest, or something like watching another bird build a nest, but it was fun.

Her daughter has this really cool shirt that says "Owl love you forever" with this cute little owl. So we decided that when it came time we would put that in my little one's nursery. So Martha slapped this up on the wall freehand...she is amazing!!

How cool is my little chicks nursery? Bobbi and I decided that if my girl comes out a girly girl we will trade and I can have Maggie. LOL! Her little one is such a tom-boy and I worry there's too much pink already...that's why her crib is blue. I suppose I'll probably love her just the same if she wants to be a princess...but I might cry secretly in my closet too.

She helped me make some other really cute stuff for her room.

I am so excited for her to come and see her new space. (and to get the heck out of me) :)

Oh yes...and we are naming her Tyler.

38 weeks and 4 days but who's counting. I am dialated to a 3 and 80% effaced as of last Wednesday...I think I should sue my doc for saying "any minute now"....all these lame false contractions too. I am BEYOND excited to meet our little girl. I am impatient to see her and be done being pregnant. I am looking forward to her, and hopefully "any minute now."

She will have a smashing bedroom to sleep in with a nice soft owl blankie too.

Thanks for everythig, Aunt Bobbi!!

Pregnancy Update

Well... first things first. I am alive. I heard of morning sickness and figured I could handle that once a day. Try, at 7 weeks I was so sick everyday all day I literally wanted to die. I kept having to remind myself that I wanted this child. Even after Zofran and B vitamins and Unisom and eating every 2 hours (and barfing it all up), nothing has helped. I am still sick everyday although it has lightened up within the last 3 weeks or so. I still throwup about once a week and nights come early as I get barfy around 7:30. I am still keeping the pharmasutical companies in business (You're welcome, Lamar :) with my 8 hour Zofran and Phenergan regimin, but I am alive and feeling better.

Feeling better and worse at the same time...getting bigger and my body is diong things I never imagined...like growing!! 12 weeks

15 weeks

19 weeks
Don't mind that I look like a troll.

We also found out this past Monday that my suspisions were correct. We are having a girl.
She's as onery as her mother but finally cooperated in showing the ultrasound tech her parts. :)
Everytime they would try to get a picture of one of her legs, arms, etc she would roll away. Finally towards the end, we got some good shots.


These have really made this come to life for me. To see her move in there and now feeling her move, has given me more hope that I can make it through while feeling like garbage.

Here she is in all her glory...the last shot of the day. She didn't want to show us her face. Even though she's still kinda mutant...she is so beautiful to me. Dan and I are excited that we are almost halfway to meeting our little girl.

Secret Donut

My uncle Jesse makes the best donuts in the world. Period. Everyonce in a while we drive to the M&W in Nyssa, OR to pick up a dozen. They are sooooooo good. The other day I went to pick some up but Bobbi wasn't going to be there when we handed them out so she asked me to save her one for after we all went swimming.

I love this picture of my sister and her little boy, Wilson. They are hiding outside on the lawn with the donut I saved her so they don't have to share.

It was fun to watch them share this "secret donut."

I am so excited to have moments like this with my little kid. Secret donut time. Lol.

And...you're not that far along

So lets say we were a little off on the due date. After my second doctors appointment Friday it was concluded that I am NOT as far along in this pregnancy as previously thought. So today was another ultrasound to figure out exactly what my due date was. They took me a month backward! LOL! I'm ok with that really, I was just excited to be done being sick this week...no such luck. I am only at about 8 1/2 weeks. So when we found out that we were prego, we were BARELY prego. Funny how that works sometimes, but we are still so excited none the less. Our due date is March 17th. St. Pattys Day. Good chances are this little bugger is coming out with some gnarly red hair too. :)

Here is our little gummy bear!
