How Teagen came into this world

Monday I got up like any normal day and started cleaning the house, and so excited we were going to go to the state fair that night. Around 11 I started getting light cramps, thinking it was nothing I just kept doing things. At noon I asked the midwife and she said to just keep doing my daily activities and let her know if they get worse. Rob got off early and went to the store for some food and got lunch at cafe rio and came home. The contractions were every 4 to 6 min. When rob got home and we called the midwife and told her they were getting worse, she said she would come over and check me in a couple hours. Melissa (the midwife) came over around 8 and checked me I was at a 1 but I was fully effaced. She was going to leave but decided to stay and said that i might take all night. My dad came over at 9 to give me a blessing with Rob.
My water broke at 9:50 and then my contractions came a lot harder and faster about every 2 minutes, I ended up on the floor that was the most comfortable place for me to be. My mom over around 10:00. At 10:45 Rob got Melissa from the other room and she checked me again and I was at a 10 and I felt like I needed to push so I started pushing for about 15 minutes before I wanted to get into the water. Heather the midwifes apprentice came sometime around then and did everything after that. We didn't have time to fill the tub they gave us so they filled up our bathroom tub. I was pushing in the water till midnight but it didn't seem that long. I would push for 20 seconds then I would totally relax almost sleep, when he crowned they kept saying he has so much hair and I could reach down and feel him but I didn't really want to I just wanted to get him out.
He came out at 12:06 and they laid him on my chest and it was the most overwhelming feeling I couldn't believe he was my baby. He only made some noises when he came he didn't really cry then he was just looking around. He stayed laying on me for 15 minutes until the umbilical cord was done pulsing then rob cut it and they got him wrapped up and rob held him while I got out of the tub and warm. I got so cold after I was shaking really bad. I just wanted to get into the shower but Melissa wanted me to get in bed and eat something and breast feed him before. Rob was able to weigh him and get his length and footprints. After everything mom and the midwife left we were left by ourselves with this baby, we were kind of nervous but it turned out ok he slept most the night. My grandma changed her flight to the next day she was supposed to come in the next Monday but I was so happy she was able to change it to the next morning. My mom picked her up from the airport and they came over. She stayed with us for a week and a half, it was so nice to have her there to help and for me to spend that time with her. My mom was such a big help and everyone asked if we needed anything. We are so blessed to have the family we have and now to have this brand new baby in our lives. Thanks to everyone that helped us.

Maternity photos

I was finally able to get rob out and get some maternity pictures done yesterday. We had some time after rob was done working so we went to Wheeler Farm and took them. I think they turned out really good. I will post them soon.
We have almost everything ready for this little guy to come home. We just need a few little things. I finished the room this weekend I just need to vacuum and set up the pool. We just need him to stay a couple more days till my grandma comes in Monday the 21st.

Rob's 26th Birthday

For Rob's birthday I wanted to do something special for him so the day of my shower the boys took my dad golfing for his late fathers day gift, everyone was together so I took him to dinner at Tucanos Brazilian Grill that night. His parents, my moms and dads family all came. It was a lot of fun and the food was pretty good too. They made rob and my dad get up and dance for the birthday song and they got a a free ice cream that I put candles on and we all sang to him. We had a good time I was really happy the whole family got to be with us.







Tuesday was his real birthday and he thought he wasn't getting anything else but i had been saving for almost the last year and I got him a Wii. He was so excited after work we went to best buy and got a game for it and another remote. His parents got him a game and a gift card too so we got another game. He was really happy to play it. Its a lot of fun to play together and spend that time with each other before the baby is born. Happy birthday Rob I hope it was a good day.

Showers, showers and more showers

I was given 3 showers by family and friends. My first one was given to me by my friend Jayne, it was a lot of fun. We ate yummy sandwiches and had really good cookies and apples with this toffee cream dip. Then we played the diaper candy bar game. Then we opened presents, I got some really cute blankets and things. It was a really nice shower and I am so glad that Jayne was able to put it on for me. Thanks Jayne.

36 Weeks

The next shower was the following tuesday with Rob's family. This one was at his aunt Elaine's house. We ate food and played games and his other aunt made a really cute paper book that had poems and stuff in it. Then we opened presents and i got a lot of things we needed. His mom got us our rocking chair, which we set up that night.

My last one was given by my sister at my grandpas house. It was so nice she went to so much to make it look really nice. She made little diaper cakes to put on all the tables that had blue and brown table cloths. This one was my side of the family from my dad's, mom's and Leisa's families. It was a really good turn out. We ate, played games and opened presents. We got so much stuff from this one we only needed a few more things to be ready. Thank you so much to Rissa for going through all the trouble I love ya.

The Zoo!

I was able to go to the zoo this last week with my mom, brother and sister. It was a lot of fun. We have not been there for a long time. It was nice to get out of the house but walking that long and up hills you don't realize how many hills are at the zoo until you are 8 and a half month pregnant. We had a good time though it was nice being able to spend the time with just us.



The new baby Giraffe

Braedy wanted a picture of him and the black bear


These penguins were funny hopping up and down off the stairs all together


He had to rid the carousel


Such a cute face Rissa wanted a picture of it.


This mom was practically getting tumbled by her babies it was really funny.

Getting ready for baby

So i am 37 weeks this week. These last 2 months have been busy. I got to go to Arizona and spend a weeks there with my grandma and 2 aunts. It was a little warm but we got to go shopping for baby stuff and just hang out. I was able to eat at Eat-A-Burger twice. They have the best burgers ever, I cant wait until there is one closer to salt lake. We went to every store there is baby clothes, toys, or material. I'm so glad my hubby was ok with me leaving him for 7 days, I missed him but I was really happy to spend that time with my family. I really miss them living by me.
I have been stressing about a changing table or dresser because we didn't have one yet, then my grandpa had one of his tenants leave from one of his shops and they left a couple little dressers behind. We took 2 of them and I sanded them down and we had paint left over so we just painted them to match the wall.

They were so gross as you can see they had this wax on them that took forever to get off but the end product turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.



I have just been cleaning up my house and getting it ready for baby and guests. I cleaned, painted and put towels up in our guest bathroom. We kept our cats litter box in that bathroom so it had litter and hair on the floor no matter how many times a week I cleaned it but now she is gone it will stay nice. Before it was just bear walls with no color and now it looks like a nice bathroom.
We got out tub and supplies this week we just need to figure out where we are going to put it now. It is just a kiddie pool that we blow up and fill with water. It is coming so fast we cant believe it. I have been a little busy to get everything ready and hope to see this little guy soon but not too soon.

8 Months

I am now 8 months today. I feel good my stomach is getting in the way of things a lot now. It is coming so close we are excited and nervous at the same time. This month is going to go so fast we have our last trip of the year to bear lake and then I have showers every weekend after that. I am so blessed to be able to have this little guy we are so happy that he will be part of our family. This picture was taken at 7 1/2 months, so i am a little bigger now. My midwife said everything is moving along great. He moves almost all day every day I think he will be a very active kid.

6 Months

I am now six months along now. I am feeling pretty good these days. The baby's room is painted and we have the crib set up now. We are so happy with the way it turned out I just have a couple more things set up then I will show pictures. Here is a picture of my tummy some of you have been asking for.

Here are the photos from the ultra sound we took at 18 weeks:

Its a boy

We found out its a baby boy. We found out when i was 18 weeks. I am now 21 weeks and feeling so much better. I'm not sick anymore and not so tired. We haven't found a name yet so for now we call him baby Chuck. Now I have to start thinking about the room, we still have a lot of stuff to clean out of it and start painting. I think I have a good idea of what I want the room to look like I just have to get it there. My mom is getting my crib and Robs parents are getting the changing table. Photos coming soon.

Were Pregnant!

I just wanted to tell everyone that we are expecting a little baby in September. We are so excited and nervous and so many other things but mostly excited. We get to find out what the baby is next week. We are hoping it is a girl, Rob thinks he knows its a girl, so we will find out.

Parker's Newest Movie

For those of you who don't know my little brother is a talented actor. His latest film is called Scout Camp. This is about a group of boys that go to scout camp and what they go through. It is really funny. I got to see this at the LDS film festival a couple weeks ago and everyone loved it. You can watch the trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsuIzeqgSYw and if any of you want to go see a good family movie it will be out in theaters in a couple months or on DVD later this year. Either way you should go and support him cuz he is my brother.

Our Hawaii Trip - Sorry its long

We went to Hawaii a couple weeks ago and it was so amazing. We left on the 13th and got in around 3:30. MY aunt Debbie and grandma were already there so they picked us up from the airport then we went to out hotel to unload our bags and headed out on the town. We went over to the world market were we shopped and ate dinner. We headed back to the hotel to go to bed. The next morning we had to get up early so we could get ready to go to the temple. Rob and I were going to get sealed today. We got ready and headed to the temple we had to drive to the other side of the island and we went a different way so we were like an hour late. This temple isn't busy so it was ok. The sealing was so special. I am so thankful that we were able to do that in Hawaii with all the people that I love. It meant so much to me to see my family there. We were sad that Robs dad and my aunt Jaime were not able to be there with us. After the sealing we took picture on the temple ground. I got a really pretty dress I found one for such a good deal that I decided to get it. The pictures turned out really good for it raining a little when we got out but it cleared up when just me and Rob took them.







After we were done with pictures we changed and went to lunch in this little restaurant that was in 51st dates. The food there was so good and our server was was really funny.

After we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. This place is so fun if you haven't been and you are going to Hawaii you should go. They have shows of all the different dancing and you go around to different parts where you learn about Tahiti, New Zealand, Hawaii, Tonga, and a couple other country's. At some of them they had tattoos of what there tribes did. We just keep getting more and more.


We also ate Poi and learned how to throw spears and how to make fish things out of leafs.

We went to go get dinner and came back for the show that night. The show was so good. They did dancing and rituals and really neat stuff with fire. It was really fun.



Saturday We packed up, checked out and headed to our ship. We waited in the long line and were finally on the ship. After we unpacked we had to go to the safety drill. We were just laughing the whole time they had to tell us to be quiet. It was a lot of fun.

All day we just hanged out unpacked and went to dinner. The ship left around 8 and we were off.
Sunday we were in Maui. That morning I went running and Rob took pictures. It is so peaceful to run in the morning on a ship when the sun is coming up. When we docked we got off and rented our van and headed to the beach. We went snorkeling in this cove the waves were not that good but we saw some cool fish. We rinsed off and changed and headed to our luau. The food was ok but the show was good. We got these drinks in a coconut that was shaped like a monkey. It was right on the ocean and we got to watch the sunset.


Monday we went on a bike ride down the volcano. This road is the only road in the world that goes from sea level and up to 10000ft. They took us to about 7500ft.

We went down at our own pace it took about 2 and a half hours. There were a couple hard spots but it was fun. We stopped for some lunch on the way. But we made it. Then we headed to a beach to get some sand and watch wind surfers and kite boarders. Rissa wanted to learn how to so bad it looked like a lot of fun. Then we headed back to the ship.
Tuesday we were in Hilo on the big island. We went and saw the volcano national park we saw the crater and then went to the lava tubes. They are these tunnels that the lava made and now we can walk through them.


There was this other part were you can choose to go down this other tunnel that has an end but it has no light. It was creepy but fun just Rob, Rissa, Debbie and myself went. It had been raining off and on all day so it was kind of cold for Hawaii. We left after that and went to this little place that does blown glass. They weren't doing any but we got to look at there showroom. I got chopstick holders mine is pink and Robs is green. We like them.
Down the road to the macadamia nut factory a tree had fallen down blocking the road and hitting a power line, we had to frive around the trunk. When we got to the factory they were sending workers home and the power was out so we couldnt see how they crush the nuts but we got to go to the shop and buy stuff and sample some things.

Then we went to this rainforest zoo that I found that was free. This was so cool there wasn't anyone there and they had some different animals. The tiger was so pretty he kept walking around watching us.

We headed back to the ship and got ready for dinner. That night everyone went to the Italian restaurant but Rob and I went for sushi. It was so good and no one was there yet so it was nice and quiet. It was all you can eat so we keep ordering roll after roll. We only didnt like one roll. We were so full at the end but we got desert Rob got a fruit plate and I get this ice cream dish, it was 2 little balls of ice cream in this sweet dough with chocolate shavings it was different but good. Our sushi chef was really funny too. We had a good night with just us.

That night we sailed past the lava hitting the ocean we got some pictures but you could mostly see red and smoke but it was really neat to see that.
The next day we were in Kona the other side of the big Island. We got the car and headed to this special green sand beach. We had to drive 40 min on the highway then 3 miles down a really bumpy dirt road that took another 30 min. Then we hit the part where we had to stop and start walking because we didnt have a jeep. We walked another 3 miles. It was long and muggy but it was cloudy so that was good. When we finally got there we stayed for a bit and started back up. We got green sand and black sand on the same beach.

They say that the whole beach will be all black sand. We were so tired when we finally got to the car. On the way back to the ship we stopped at a coffee plantation were we got to see the trees they grow on. We had to hurry to get on the tender in time so we went straight to the dock. We saw the Kona temple on the way this was such a small temple but it was pretty. We dropped the car off and got in line. It was taking forever and there was a little bay that people were swimming laps in so Rissa and I went swimming for a bit. The water felt so soft and cool. We went out a bit and could see the bottom that was about 15 ft. We saw the line going faster so we hurried and got out. We made it back on the ship.

Thursday we were in Kauai we did our only excursion through the ship. We went kayaking up a river. Our tour guide was so funny he just liked to have fun. We started up and he told us about some history about tribes way back when. We kept splashing each other along the way. When we got to our destiny we got out and hiked up a path that was so full and green. Along the way there way a rope swing that we got to go off into this little pool in the river. Only Rissa, another guy, Rob and myself went off. Me and Rissa kept trying flips and stuff. The water was so nice. We kept hiking up the trail then we hit these little water falls. We took some pictures and a couple of us in the group went up to the higher ones. Then we hiked back and took a boat back to where we left. This was our favorite thing we did. The guide made it worth it. Oh and we got to swing off the swing that Indiana Jones did in the lost arch. The rest of the day we looked at shops and walked on the beach. We got to pick an clam for a pearl and I got two purple ones. Lucky, I know. The next day we went to this time share thing that we got 100 dollars and looked at some shops then went back to the boat because it left early that day. It was raining when the boat left so me and Rissa went hot tubbing. Rob went to take some pictures. We stayed in the hot tub for like 2 hours is was fun in the rain watching the ship leave the dock. Later that day we were supposed to see the part of the island where they filmed Jurrasic Park with the huge waterfall but it was raining so it was covered in fog so that was sad we didnt get to see.

The next morning we were back Oahu we got off the ship, got the car and checked into the hotel again. And headed to the flea market. We got alot of stuff there but it was raining the whole time. We got wet. But it was warm. Then we got some food and went back to the hotel to chill. That night we went out to eat at that world market they had a really good mexican place in it. Then we shopped and ate this really good yogurt that had tons of fruit on it. it was yummy. Then we went back to the hotel and went to bed. About 12:30 the fire alarm started going off. We were on the 23rd floor. Around 12:45 we decided we needed to take some things we needed if we couldn't get back to our roon down the stairs when we were about to leave they came on and said everything is ok so the elevators were working again. We went outside to get away from the noise. It didnt stop until 2:00. We were not very happy but its funny now. Sunday was our last day. We had to take grandma and Debbie to the airport around noon. Then we went to pearl harbor stayed there for a couple hours.

Then we headed to the pinapple farm. This place was so big it had a huge shop and food in the back. Outside you could tour the property, they had this garden with all the different kinds of pinapple, that was cool there are some weird looking ones.

We still had a couple hours until we needed to be at the airport so we went to dinner at Red Robin. Then we dropped off the car and headed to the airport. The flight was ok we slept almost the whole time. The sunrise was so pretty. We had a really good time but were glad to be home 2 weeks is a long time to be away and we missed our puppys. Im so happy I am sealed to Rob for all eternity.
