Spenzer Joseph

So I am EXTREMELY slow at blogging but I think having a new born is a great excuse. So I am a mom of the most adorable little boy I have ever seen. He came to us on Sept. 2 at 10:07 p.m. after my water broke at 5 am with no contractions. I was put on PIT after 5 hours and nothing. At 2pm I was dilated to a 7 and that is where I stayed. At 8:30 they said I should start thinking about a c-section. Joe and I prayed about it and decided that we would do what the doctor thought would be the best. At 9:30 they prepped me and took me to the operating room. Joe was so amazing through the whole day especially when I started freaking out about a c-section. He held my hand the whole time as he watched them cut me open and pull out the baby and sew me back up. I heard Spenzer cry and then they took him into the nursery. I didn't get to see him before. The doctor held him up but I only saw the bottom half of him. As they were sewing me up we were waiting for them to tell us his weight and length, but they never did. They took me to my room and Joe went and checked on our baby. After several minutes he came back and told me that Spenzer was having some breathing problems and he was on oxygen, but doing ok. Later I found out that some breathing problems was almost having to put a breathing tube down his throat because he wouldn't breath. The Respiratory Therapist told us that Spenzer turned around faster than he has ever seen a baby do. He went from needing a tube to only needing oxygen for a couple hours. Prayers were being said for my little guy. So Joe brought me pictures when he came back to the room but I didn't get to see him until 4am, 6 hours after he was born. Lets just say I wasn't resting very well because I was worried about my little man and I wanted to see him, but I couldn't get in a wheel chair yet and he couldn't leave the NICU. When I finally did get to see him I had the hardest time putting him down or letting Joe hold him. I was so in love and that love just grows each time I look at him. We had to stay in the hospital until Monday afternoon. When we got home Joe went and bought a recliner so I could be more comfortable recovering.

Life as a mother has been the most wonderful most tiring thing I have ever done. Joe was able to be home until Saturday. When he left I just wanted to cry. In fact I think I did. Joe has been able to be here every couple days which has been nice even if only for a couple hours.

Okay enough reading a boring story, here are some pictures of my adorable son. I don't have many recent ones because I take them with my phone and I haven't transferred them.

ENJOY!!!

Prego Belly

So I decided to take some pictures of my pregnant belly. I am 7 months. Enjoy these might be the only ones

12 Days with Joe!!!

So Joe came home for 12 days. In that 12 days he accomplished so much I can't even name it all but I will list some of the things he did.
Minor repairs to the 4 wheeler and 5th wheel
Replaced 2 faucets for the outside hoses
Installed 2 air conditioners both he had to put in new outlets, one had to build a stand for
mowed the lawn
cleaned out the shed including taking out a pet box that had 100 or more screws in it
took me camping for 5 days where he did most of the cooking
cleaned part of the house
cooked most meals while we were home
spent time talking to the baby
Reformatted his computer
Installed a sub woofer in our surround sound
Did several loads of laundry
Installed boards under the couch so no more tennis balls would go under it
Played in the pool with my niece and nephew
I know he did more but I can't think of it all

Okay now the list of what I did
Folded all the laundry
helped clean the shed
relaxed while camping
made bread
went to the doctor

Some how I look extremely lazy compared to Joe, but he wanted to do all that and I tried to help wherever I could but, Joe is one independent man. All I have to say is that I am so grateful for such a wonderful husband who makes me so very happy. Its hard to think I deserve such an amazing man by my side. I can't wait to have his child and watch him be a wonderful dad and raise our son together.

IT'S A BOY!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long, but I have been busy. Joe and I will be having a baby boy in September. His name will be Spencer Joseph Dye. Everything is good and healthy with me and our Spencer. We are both so excited that we get the boy we wanted.

BABY!!!!

Well I am sick of looking at my dog every time I turn on internet, so I am updating it finally. Joe and I are having a baby this September! We will find out May 6th whether we will have a boy or a girl. We both want a boy so that we have a big brother for our little girls. I have started thinking it is a little girl though. I guess we will see soon. Pregnancy has been an interesting experience for me and I'm not sure how much I like it. I haven't thrown up at all but I do get nauseous regularly and I have been extremely tired. My second trimester has brought on cramping but everyone has told me it is normal. Ok so enough about the bad. The good is that I am totally looking forward to being a mom and Joe is excited about being a dad. We both are nervous though. I hope to be more diligent in updating my blog now that I have something to blog about.

Crazy Dog

So back in July Joe and I got a puppy. We were going to Bed Bath and Beyond to use a gift card when I saw a guy selling puppies so I got excited and said we should go look. Well Joe hasn't learned to ignore me when I see puppies so we went and ended up not going to BBB and bringing home a cute little puppy instead. Her name is Jasmine. She is a lab Shar Pai mix and is absolutely adorable. Joe told me he would build a dog run so that she wouldn't be stuck in the house while I am at work. She isn't a huge fan of being out there all day but she is getting better. She has been a lot of fun and does keep me company while Joe is gone. She loves to play fetch, especially with apples, she pees whenever she is excited or when she gets in trouble. Today she decided to start playing in the bathtub. Don't ask me. I was watching conference and she went and climbed in the tub and was just hanging out. I put water in it and she got out but wanted to drink the water and then eventually just got in with the water and pulled the plug.

I would include more pictures of her but my phone is being dumb trying to get pictures off it and blogger is being dumb uploading pictures. Maybe some other day. She is a lot of fun, but at the same time she is hard work. I guess it is training me for when we have kids. Including the waking me up several times in the middle of the night.
