*She weighs 14 and a half pounds (chunker)
*She is short and stubby only 23 inches
*She tried rice cereal last night and LOVED it
*She sleeps 8 hours if not more during the night
*She loves to smile
*She is trying to roll
*She loves to tell stories
*She loves her mama:)
I love this little girl SO much and am so greatful for her! Happy Holidays everyone!

Update

Not much has been going on in our family lately... Just loving Miss Oakley! We took her to her 2 month appointment and she is 11 pounds! She is getting chunky and is FINALLY in the 54% range! The past visits she has only been 7% or less so it makes us happy she is growing. She is smiling a ton now and loves to listen to her mama babble on and on to her:) I am so blessed to have such a perfect little angel in my life!

7 weeks

I have been such a slacker at putting pics up so here are a few of our little chunker:)

One month old!

It has been awhile since I have blogged... Oakley will be 1 month old tomorrow. It is so crazy how fast time flys! I love her so much and could not picture my life without her. I will post some pictures of her tomorrow. I am loving being off work and spending every second with Oakley. She fascinates me daily. I am so greatful to have her in my life!

Oakley kate Pedersen

Oakley is here:) She was born on Sunday July 26 2009 @ 9:58pm. She was 4 weeks early, but is amazing! Here is a pic from when we took her home. I love this girl So much!

Labor Pains

On Sunday night I woke up to having some lovely contractions every 5-7 minutes, but thought I was crazy and tried not to wake Jason up or worry too much. After spending most of the night up I finally got up to get ready for work and went in. My contractions by this point were getting more intense and closer together so I called my doc and she told me to go into Labor and Delivery to get checked out. I went in and got monitored for a few hours and I was having the contractions at this point every 2-3 minutes lasting about a minute to a minute and a half. I am such a WUSS because I thought I was going to die! lol I have no idea how women do it:) They decided Oakley needed to cook a little longer and gave me some meds to stop it all. I am having contractions now every 10-15 minutes which is better, but still not lots of fun:) This is kinda gross, but I lost my "plug" yesterday morning as well so my doc said I am well on my way to getting Oakley here:) She said it could be anywhere from hours to a couple weeks! Its so crazy to me that she could be here anyday! I have had some good advice and help from friends that have had babies that I appreciate SO MUCH! I think I would be freaking out much more if it weren't for them. I will keep our blog posted on any updates or if Oakley decides she is ready to come:)

Crazy week

It has been a crazy week! Jasons dad has been in and out of the hospital since September and they could never figure out what was wrong. In early June he went into the hospital for emergency sx and got a lot of his intestine taken out. They told him recovery would be about a week... Over a month later he was still in the hospital because his body was not getting any better. They did another sx about 2 weeks ago and found out his intestine was all mushy and dying and there was nothing they could do about it. The family on Thursday decided to take out his breathing tubes and let him just have medication and oxygen to ease the pain and to let him pass when he was ready because the docs said he would have no quality of life if they kept him on the support. He survived the night Thursday and passed peacefully in the hospital with family at his side around 11:45 Friday. We had the viewing Monday night and the funeral on Tuesday. It has been very hard to watch just because he was only 49 years old. I wish my husbands family the best and want them to know I love them:)
On a lighter note Jason FINALLY decided on Oakleys middle name!!!! Yay!!! Her full name is going to be Oakley Kate Pedersen:) I am so excited and think Jas did a really good job on picking it out. We are getting so excited to meet her and so nervous at the same time! It is hard to believe Jas and I will have another life to look after. I went into the doc's today and I am measuring a little big, but right on track and she also informed me im border line of having preclamsia... I knew it all along! I have been swelling like crazy for a few months now and I am glad she is finally thinking it could be an issue. She just said she will keep watching me week by week and if she thinks taking Oakley early is necessary we will discuss it at that point. Only 29 more days though!!!! Yay!

4th of July weekend

Jason and I decided to get away for our last time before Oakley came into our lives.... My family always goes to St.George every 4th of July so we spent a few days with them. We just relaxed, went swimming, bought WAY 2 much for Oakley, and ate tons of food:) It was nice to get away.
I finally found the perfect curtains for the nursery and a couple other odds and ends so I am hoping to get it all done by this weekend:) It is hard to believe there is only like 35 days left until we get to meet our baby girl:) I love her so much and am so greatful that she was brought into our lives!

THANK YOU

I just want to tell my work friends thank you so much for the baby shower last night! I had so much fun being with all of you and Oakley is going to be one stylin kid:) I am excited to get her here and to be able to use all of the fun things you all gave her. Thank you again!

Happy late Fathers Day!

I didn't get a chance to post it on Fathers Day but I wanted to tell my pops Happy Fathers Day! He is an amazing Dad and I love him so much! Happy Fathers Day to all the other papa's out there:)

7 months

I am not very good at putting up belly pics, but here is a quick one I took at 7 months:)

Docs N stuff

I went in for my glucose test on the 29th of May and got put on bed rest due to high blood pressure, and what my hubby likes to call cankles:) I went in a week later and got the ok to go back to work Part time... It is so nice being back! I still have those lovely cankles and I am trying to take care of my self and Oakley. My glucose test looked great which is a relief! I always stress about all of that stuff:) I keep counting down the days and I think there is roughly 64 left! I can't believe it! I started experiencing contractions, hot flashes, being way uncomfortable this past week and I honestly love it. It sounds weird, but I really like being pregnant(even with my sexy cankles) I am getting closer to getting her room all finished and then we get to play the wait game. I really can't wait to have her here! :)

77 DAYS!

Oakley comes in 77 days (give or take a few) It has flown by so stinkin fast! She is growing like crazy and getting so strong! She is very active now and is not shy anymore about letting others actually feel her move. I am having so much fun enjoying her in my belly. I can't wait until we get to meet our beautiful baby girl!

And her name is....

We finally came to an agreement on a name... and her name is going to be OAKLEY!!!! Jason gets to choose her middle name, so for now she will be Oakley Pedersen. I knew being a brat until I got to name her that would pay off:)

Crazy Cravings :)

These are just a few of my crazy cravings lately!!!! I think it is so funny how you want the strangest things when you are pregnant. I love shockers SO much:) I have been counting down the days til our baby girl is here and there are only 93 days!!!!

Happy Mothers Day

I just wanted to tell my Mom Happy Mothers Day! I love her so much.
She is the best Mom ever!

Doc's

I went to the doctors today and I am measuring two weeks earlier then the due date they gave me. The doc is going to measure me at my next visit and if it is still like that she said she will change my due date:) Our little girl is 15 cm long and 1 pound 2.5 ounces, She is a little chunker:) I can't believe how fast time is flying by!

Car Seat

I am so excited about our car seat we bought for our daughter! I had to put a picture up to show everyone. Jas thinks I am a nerd because I have already tested it out in the car. I cant wait until she is here. Only 3 months and some days:)

DANG HORMONES

Goodness I am moody! It has only been for the last two weeks and I am seriously a nut case! I feel so bad for my poor hubby to have to put up with me. I cry over everything and anything and I get mad over everything. I just want Jas to know I love him SO much and appreciate him putting up with me:) Hopefully I will get back to normal soon:)

Names(grrr)

Help!!!! Jas and I can't agree on a name for our daughter! I am in love with the name Oakley and he hates it! He thinks of the sun glasses brand when he hears it. LAME!!!!:) He likes the names Ashley or Brooke which I like, but I have friends with those names and they are pretty common. So I need your help on which name you like best.... Oakley? Ashley? Brookelynn? Help!!!!

Phew!

I went in last Wednesday for my 20 week appointment and got the testing done for down syndrome and all of that. I got my results today and everything is NORMAL!!!! I am very relieved! We got the baby measured and everything is right on track:) They told us she is for sure a girl so Jas FINALLY believes it. NERD! She is growing like crazy and I can feel her kick me now. She was being stubborn during the ultrasound trying to get all her parts measured, so she already is taking after her daddy! :)
