Always about Ian

Ian is doing so much better. He is off the oxygen and only had to have it for about a week. He is getting so big now. He will be 4 months on the 29th. He is drooling constantly and loves to put everything in his mouth, especially his fists. He is a really good baby (for the most part) but I think he is for sure a mama's boy. Almost everytime I leave to run an errand and leave Ian with Nick, I come home to find Nick frantic and Ian crying and as soon as he sees me he stops crying. Nick is really sad about it and thinks that Ian doesn't like him. I think it's just a phase that he will hopefully grow out of soon. He laughed for Nick today so that is a start ha ha. Here are a few pictures. I can't seem to be quick enough to catch a smile, but he is still adorable..

Poor Baby :(

What a CRAZY week! My poor baby had to be admitted to the hospital last Monday for RSV. I took him to the doctor because he had a cough and when I got there the doctor tested for RSV and the results were positive. He also hooked him up to a monitor that checks the level of oxygen that he was getting and he wasn't getting enough oxygen so he sent us straight to the hospital. We were lucky because Ian was the least sick baby with RSV. We spent 2 days there and they sent us home with an oxygen tank and hopefully he can get it off by tomorrow!




Also...we moved to Bountiful! We found a very cute apartment and moved over the weekend, pictures soon to come!!!

2 Month Stats

I took Ian to the doctor on Monday and here are his stats:

Height: 93%

Weight: 78%

Head: 54%

Looks like he is going to be tall! (Hopefully he will be a basketball player.)

super baby.

So..is it normal for a baby to roll over when they are only 7 weeks old?!?

well mine did. All I can say is,

I have a Super Baby.

Ian's Birth Story

I was induced on November 29th. Nick and I arrived at the hospital at 7 a.m. and the doctor broke my water at 8 a.m. and things started moving super fast. By 11:30 my contractions were about 2 minutes apart. I couldn't take it any longer so I got the epidural at 12. I was so nervous for this part but let me just say that the epidural was AMAZING! I couldn't feel any pain and by 3 it was time to start pushing. I pushed for 46 minutes and Ian was born at 3:46 p.m. He weighed 7lbs. 13oz. and he was 21 inches long. It is pretty cool because my husband weighed the same and was the same length when he was born.

After I gave birth I was experiencing a lot of back pain. I couldn't even move without hurting myself. It was awful. The nurses said it I probably strained my back during labor. I got lots of pain meds that helped a lot!! Everything was going fine and we were enjoying Ian so much when the anesthesiologist nurse came in and told me that the girl who performed my epidural messed up and put the catheter in too far in my back which created air pockets around my spine and because of this I might experience an extremely bad migraine that could start a few days after giving birth and last up to a whole week. I had about a 30-50% chance of getting this head ache.

Everything was going fine on Wednesday when we came home and I was feeling fine until that night. I started experiencing a terrible head ache that went from the front of my head all the way to the back of my neck and shoulders. I would feel fine if I laid down but when I stood up I was in so much pain. I couldn't even enjoy or take care of my brand new baby. It was awful. Nick was having to take care of me and Ian. By Friday I couldn't take it anymore. The head ache was unbearable and it actually caused me to throw up. The nurse said if I got the head ache and my pain medication wasn't working then I would have to go back to the hospital and they would have to perform a blood patch. A blood patch is where they take blood from you and insert it into your spine so it can fill up all the empty space around my spine that was causing my head ache. As soon as they inserted the blood into my back, I felt a million times better. The head ache was gone instantly and I felt great! I was so happy that I was finally able to enjoy my sweet baby instead of being miserable.
Everything is going fine now and we absolutely LOVE our brand new baby. He is perfect. I will be posting new pictures soon. I lost the cord to my camera so as soon as I find it I will be posting pics of our lovely boy.

INTRODUCING..............

Ian Nicholas Moore
7lbs. 13oz.
21 inches long

1 WEEK!

I went to the doctor today and my blood pressure was not high (unfortunately). So I have to go in on Friday to the hospital for a stress test and if my blood pressure is high, then they will induce me right then, but if it is not then next Monday the 29th of November at 7:15 I will be induced and our little boy will arrive. I am SO nervous! I hope all goes well. Can't wait to get labor over with. It's gonna hurt.

:(

So we went to the Dr. on Thursday and...my blood pressure was still high so the Dr. did an ultrasound and everything looked good so he decided to keep me on bed rest and try to let this little guy cook in my tummy a little bit longer. (unfortunately). I am so impatient. I just want to see him so bad, it is killing me! I go back to the Dr. on Monday and they are going to check my urine for protein cause I guess if I have too much protein in my urine it can mean that I have toximia and that aint good. So we will just have to wait and see.......until then..........gotta get back to watching 16 and Pregnant! See ya.

Holy Crap!!

I had my 36 week doctor's appointment today and................

my blood pressure was high, so I have officially been put

on bedrest. Just Great. I go to the doctor again on

Thursday and if my blood pressure is still high then I

will be induced. This is both exciting, yet terrifying!!

I still have so much to do! He isn't supposed to arrive for

4 more weeks!!!! Good thing I have a wonderful husband, mom,

mother-in-law, and best friend to do most of the work for me! :)

Well, that's all for now. I better get back to laying on the couch!

I will be sure to give you an update on Thursday!

A little late I know.......



We had an awesome Labor Day this year. We ended up going to watch my husbands dad's band play at Antelope Island for the Balloon Festival. It was so much fun! Their band is way good and it's always fun to listen to them play. We also went up to Bear Lake with Nick's family for the weekend. We had a great time!

Spoiled Baby.

Our baby is already spoiled and he isn't even here yet! All of our friends and family are so excited for the baby boy to get here. Kaley and Jeremy (sister and brother in law) went out and bought him a very cute baseball outfit that I cannot wait to put him in! Todd and Jordyn (friends) are also super excited and they bought him his first BYU onsie. There is no way anyone is gonna let this baby be anything other than a BYU fan!

(I tried to post pics of the outfits but my blog isn't working properly, so I will post them later. You won't want to miss it!)

WE'RE HAVING.......

A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nick and I went to the doctor today to get our ultrasound to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. My mom wasn't able to go with us but it was great because Nick's mom was able to come and she got to video it for us which was great! We were wanting to have a boy as our first child so we were very happy and now we can start working on his nursery and start picking a name, (which I think is the hardest part!)


Can't wait to meet you little guy.....hope the rest of these 20 weeks fly by!

2 days!!!

There is only 2 DAYS until we get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl!! The doctor wasn't able to tell us at our 16 week ultrasound which really bummed me out, so hopefully they will be able to tell us on wednesday. Keep your fingers crossed!!

I hate waiting...

Waiting..waiting..waiting! I absolutely hate waiting.
Waiting to find out if our baby is a boy or a girl is KILLING ME!
We might find out in 2 weeks but I am so impatient, I
just want to know NOW!

I had a dream last night that I had a baby boy and he was
really well behaved and so stinkin cute! I hate waiting
and I am so impatient. Hopefully we can find out
what we are having so I can actually start buying
things. Keep your fingers crossed!!

ultrasound #1

We had our first ultrasound today and we finally found out my due date! I am due on
December 13th which means I am 11 weeks. We are so excited and can't wait! Here is
a picture of the baby. It is hard to tell where it is but there is a dotted line that shows
the baby from the top of the head to the bum.

BIG NEWS...........

So....Nick and I found out that we are going to have a BABY! We found out on April 11th. We haven't gone to the doctor yet but are going soon. We think that I am about 6-8 weeks but aren't sure. I will let you all know when we find out!!

One Fun Night!

My husband had the BRILLIANT idea to volunteer himself to bring a grill to work
for a lunch party. It would be fine if the grill wasn't still in the box and not put together
AT ALL!! So last night we spent the whole night putting together our grill which was in
about 50 pieces. It ended up being really fun and didn't take as long as I thought.




















It looks great and I can't wait til we get to use it this spring and summer!

help...

I have seen a few people that have youtube videos on their blogs. Does anyone
know how to do this? If so...please help!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Sista! I hope you have a great day!

sad.

Goodbye Ronnie! We will miss you. Good luck with the Grizzlies!

Lame I know but I am obsessed...........
















Melanie, please don't die. Phillip needs you.

Kevin and Forrest

Dear Kevin,

Your daddy and I love you so much but you are getting really big. You are almost double the size of your older brother Forrest, who I think truly HATES you. He growls and bites at you every time we let you out of your kennel. What did you do to make him so mad?! Forrest never used to get mad at anyone until you came along.......Oh well, I'm not giving you up now....he will just have to deal with it!






Dear Forrest,

Please be nice to your brother Kevin! You used to be such a nice boy and now you are turning into a bully. Work on being a good example for him. If you growl and bite, he will do the same thing to you, and he is double your size. Pretty soon he will be able to put your whole head in his mouth so be careful. We love you!

Decisions.....

So.........I finished hair school and have been graduated for almost 2 years and I worked at a salon for a year and a half and I didn't like it very much. This puts me at a cross roads..I have an amazing job working for my dad from 7am to 1pm. I could get a job working part time in a salon, or go back to school. Nick works at the university of phoenix and I could get 80% off school if I decided to go back. I am currently interested in getting a degree in communications to become a film critic. Crazy and random I know but I think it would be so much fun. I am thinking that I will probably go back to school and I can keep my current job and do hair part time on the side. I just hope its not too much for me to handle. Ahhh I don't know what to do........any advice?!

Christmas

Christmas was amazing! On christmas eve we went over to Nick's parents house. We got awesome gifts, some of which include the new HTC Hero phone and a new grill and a present from a few different countries in Europe which was really cool. On Christmas Day we went over to my parents and got a new kitchen table and jazz tickets!! we had a very joyus Christmas and we are sad it's already over. Now I have to go back to work Monday which I am not looking forward to. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 2 week break!

Oh and I got Nick this for Christmas.......

moving!

Nick and I are moving to Layton. We found a three bedroom apartment for a really good price and we couldn't pass it up! It is a littleolder but it will do just fine for now. Its right by Nick's work so he can even ride his bike in the summer (which i doubt but we'll see!) ha ha. We are moving in tomorrow so i will post pics when we get all settled!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

We had so much to do on Thanksgiving. Our day started by having a wonderful breakfast with Nick's family. His dad is a wonderful cook and made us abelskievers. For those who do not know what those are, they are kind of miniature pancakes but fluffier and much better! We then went to my grandma's house and had a huge thanksgiving meal with my mothers side of the family. It was sad because my grandpa past away a few years ago from cancer and it's always hard to celebrate the holidays without him. We had the opportunity to go around and have everyone say what they were thankful for and I said my husband. Cheesy I know ha ha but I am very thankful for everything that he does for me. He is such a great husband! I am also thankful for my grandma and how strong she has been. She is almost cancer free and we know she will beat it! After we were done at my grandma's we had to go up to my aunt Cindi's house. I purposefully ate very little at my grandmas so I would have room for more food at my aunts! We had a really fun time. Nick and I played guitar hero rock band with my cousins which is one of my favorite games! (for some reason I really like to sing which is so not like me!) We also celebrated my uncle Brett and cousin Jake's birthday, so Happy Birthday you two! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, now bring on the gym cause I really need it!!!!

New Moon..

Going to see this tonight. Hope I like it..........I also hope

I don't fall asleep. It starts at 11:15!
