Dylan Ann Cook

June 28, 2012

It is so crazy to think that a little over a week ago Dylan was not here. I don't really remember what it is like without her here anymore. She is perfect in every way and is such a good baby. 

 

My labor and delivery went so well. I'd say I had it pretty easy and loved every minute of it! I had a scheduled appointment at the hospital for the 28th of June. The hospital called that morning at 7:30 am and off we went! Pitocin was started, Dr. Ott broke my water, and contractions got strong fast! I can say that for those who go natural are amazing, I sure wouldn't be able to do it! A few hours after my pitocin started, I got my epidural and oh how wonderful that was! I progressed very quickly and started pushing at 3:20 pm and Dylan arrived at 4:08 pm weighing 7 lbs 5 oz and 20.5 inches long. I will never forget that first moment I held her in my arms and the love I felt at that moment for her and Braeden. What a great experience that was for the both of us. 

 Recovery has been so good and not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Dylan only cries when she is hungry, tired or needs a diaper change and she sure is a good eater and I am very grateful for that! That is one thing I was so worried about was breatfeeding and she is a champ at that! 

She really is the perfect baby.

40 Weeks Today

June 21, 2012

Well I made it to my due date.. hope she comes soon! Had an appointment yesterday and I am almost there.. so my doctor said he will probably be seeing me real soon!

Wish me luck!

The nursery

So I am just about done with Dylan's nursery. Yep Dylan Ann, that is the name we have decided on! Still need to get a side table and a book shelf, but for now I am done since she wont really be in there for a few months. Here are some pictures!

I also have been working on our living room too. We moved in to this place and then I was sick and didn't want to do anything... so I finally have decorated! Still need to put pictures in frames though, but I will wait till Dylan comes.

And I love watermelon

Almost there!

I can't believe June is here already and only 18 more days till my due date. Time has just gone by so fast! Things are progressing and I am measuring right on schedule. It is crazy to think that she really could come any time. We are sure ready for her to come! The nursery is almost done and I will post pictures later this week!

Arizona and Mexico

Well we went on our last vacation before the baby comes! We drove down to Phoenix and spent a few days there with Braeden's family and then we all drove to Mexico for a few days. It was so fun to spend time with family and we all had a wonderful time. 

Now it is time to get ready for our little girl to come... only 8 more weeks! Here are some pictures from our trip. Enjoy!

Mexico

Getting close!

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going! I am just keeping busy and trying to get things done around the house.

Conference weekend my family drove from Washington to Salt Lake to come visit. My brother is leaving for his mission at the end of this month and I am so glad I got to spend some time with him before he leaves! My mom and aunt also threw me a baby shower and it was so fun to get together with family and friends. Thanks for everyone that came and for all your support! Getting all this cute stuff for our little girl made me realize that she is coming so soon! I can't wait to have her in my arms :)

We went and stayed in Vegas one night with our good friends Travis and Amanda. It was lots of fun!

Visiting my Great Grandpa Wood

Here are a few pictures from my shower:

My family plus my grandma and grandpa Wheelwright

Bowling with my brothers, Travis and Nathan and man was it hard to bowl! Can't move like I use to!

My brother Travis and I. Next time I will see him will be in two years!

Halfway there!

Okay so I have had several requests for a picture of me.. I didn't want to do it, but here you go! I took this picture last week after my 20 week appointment and baby girl is growing good! I can't believe that I am already 20 weeks. I just wish time would go faster though.. I want our little girl to be here already so I can hold her! Things are going much better for me though.. still have my bad days, but I am feeling great!

We moved into our new place back in Oct, a week before we found out I was pregnant and I was able to unpack most everything and then the sickness started. Yesterday I finally unpacked my craft room and now hoping one of these days I can hang up all our home decor so our place actually looks like home. Then I can start working on the nursery! Lots to do with little energy!
