rything in the house is going to start to be moved up higher or hidden there are new things he discovers everyday like electric cords that make me worry i love the adventures of raising a curious little boy posted by unknown at 9 07 pm 6 comments friday august 9 2013 fair time this year we decided to get more involved with our community living in a small town means that even though events aren t as large as those we are used to hmm clark county fair and world ag expo it isn t as scary to participate in them so i decided to do something brave and entered a quilt i made for william into the fair bryce tried his luck at the tri tip cookoff the week before the fair we went to a children s rodeo we cheered on children from our local congregation ward they did so well and were so proud of themselves poor little william is going to have to face the fact that when he gets older we are signing him up for mutton busting nothing cuter than children riding sheep my quilt did well i was so excited to get a ribbon given there were only two quilts in my division i still and am pretty darn proud of it william wasn t the biggest fan we went two days once with the 11 year old scouts and then again the next day for the cook off he did enjoy the animals and his first taste of snocone i heard his first scream of impatience because i couldn t shovel the delicious treat in fast enough i was looking online at a contest they had to take a picture in front of the jerome county fair mural there weren t too many entries so i am trying my luck to win a gift card we ll see if i win sunday on friday we were joined by our friends the woods the girls and i went and looked at the animals so cute it makes my heart happy to see baby animals i also took some photos for work let me tell you it is so hard to find clean cows for those of you who don t know i work for a publishing company that focuses on cattle dairy bryce made some delicious tri tip the game was rigged because the fire fighters were selling t shirts at the same time and the money was going in their bucket but it was all for charity all the proceeds went to breast cancer research everyone had a great time and that is all that matters william s favorite part was going home i am glad we participated this year i hope that we can start doing more and more in our community posted by unknown at 9 26 pm 2 comments thursday april 25 2013 12 weeks william facts i am totally aware that most babies probably do the following things at the exact same time as william but i just want to give an update about what we have been up to today william reached 12 weeks this little guy is so fun to have around he loves to smile talk and sing he always has something to babble about and lets you have it when you aren t paying enough attention to him he comes with me to work everyday about 4 hours and sometimes is nice enough to sleep the majority of the time those days are great other days he needs to be held and cuddled good thing i have a sling that i stick him hopefully he gains something from going to work everyday like how to design or about cows or how not to double task with a screaming child he loves to snuggle and be held close william is bottle fed and lets you know when he is hungry he moves into position and starts sucking your arm apparently that is where he thinks his food comes from he is drinking about 4 6 oz every three hours we give a little milk cocktail of half reflux costco formula he seems to be doing great and is getting plump william has started to sleep through the night now this past week he has gone to bed around 8 30 and wakes up at 4 30 5 let me tell you blessing from above we moved him into his nursery and i think that has made all the difference he sleeps snug as a bug in his crib and has a cute little snore every so often he likes his binky in at night to help him sleep that can be a curse as it wakes him up if it falls out too soon now for william s tricks william can bring his fingers together and look at them he can move them to his mouth and suck on them he can bring toys to his mouth to suck on them pictured is his favorite toy alligator that grandma miles made for him he loves to cuddle with it he also lets me know when it has fallen off his lap we also use the alligator to sing him his favorite play song three little monkeys swinging in a tree teasing mr alligator can t catch me william will look at mom and dad when they talk to him he loves when dad comes home from work and gets excited sometimes he tells dad off for being away so long william also loves to blow bubbles we have him wear mittens for the dual use of wiping his face and avoiding scratches babies have such sharp nails william weighs 13 lbs 5 oz and is 24 inches long we feel so blessed to have this little guy in our home he is so fun to be with and we can tell he has such a happy personality posted by unknown at 8 17 pm 3 comments sunday april 14 2013 delivery i really enjoy reading delivery stories so i thought i would share my own william was due the 27th of january the day came and went and then a few more days came and went and i thought it was getting ridiculous that he hadn t arrived no contractions no broken water maybe a mucous plug my doctor told me she rarely lets her mothers go over 41 weeks and said she would induce me on the 31st so the morning of the 31st i walked into our little 20 bed hospital in jerome and signed in i hardly slept the night before because i was so excited nervous i was feeling at ease that everything would go normal but had no idea what to expect i told the nurse a woman in my ward a church all of my birth plans it was going to be all natural these were the most important things no epidural no pitocin no pain meds baby remains with me the whole time the doctor came in around 8 30 and broke my water it was the most awkward feeling of my life sitting in the hospital bed and feeling like i was wetting myself my mom and bryce sat there watching me waiting for things to happen i finally told them to find something else to do because it was just too embarrassing i also had requested that they turn away whenever the nurse did an exam which is funny because at the end i could care less around 2 00 things started to pick up and i started to have painful contractions right away i told the nurse to call the anesthesiologist epidural please i realized very quickly that i could be here all night with that amount of pain and i wasn t going to have it i kicked bryce and my mom out of the room while they prepped and placed the epidural once everything was situated and only working on half of my body boo my entourage returned the doctor then called and told me since i had the epidural i might as well get some pitocin to help things move along faster by this point i had backed out of my entire birth plan but honestly didn t care the next few hours were a blur of just waiting around until 6 00 i started to move into transition and remained dilated at a 9 for four hours the pain on the right side of my body where the epidural didn t work was throbbing every time i had a contraction my sciatic nerve would be pinched i sat there moaning as my mom and bryce tried to comfort me tell me to breathe and press on my back i demanded ice chips be shoveled in my mouth i told my mom after that had it not been childbirth and i was in that much pain i would have killed myself to end the pain i literally sat there in the bed contemplating death i cried i begged for someone to remove the baby by hand i cried some more i complained i couldn t take it anymore what else was uncomfortable was i had my least favorite paul simon song stuck in my head for hours over and over again war time prayers seriously nothing better than feeling like death and having a dumb song in your head there were also precious moments in the midst of everything it was a very spiritual experience knowing that a little soul was about to enter this world and i was going to be his mom i was so excited for him to come and so nervous that everything would turn out ok at about 10 00 the nurses called the doctor and said it was time to push they rolled me over on my back and bryce took one leg and my mom took the other it was as if there was no pain at all my doctor was impressed with my pushing skills saying she rarely sees a woman who has an epidural push that well we joked for the whole hour i pushed and finally i worked the baby out william was born at 10 49 it all happened so fast they placed him immediately in my arms bryce quickly said he looked like predator and i was just overwhelmed by the experience i laid there holding him trying to calm him down after what must have been just as traumatic experience as i had it was such a blur of them cleaning me up and taking pictures that night bryce and my mom went home to sleep and left me alone at the hospital i was honestly a little peeved that bryce left but that quickly turned around as i had one of the most spiritual experiences we laid there in the hospital room little baby william in my arms and i smelled him and kissed him and knew he was a gift from god it was also amazing to know that my mom was there to help me i had reservations about anyone but bryce being there but i felt so relieved to know my mom was at my side encouraging me and supporting me i am sure she enjoyed witnessing his entry into this world posted by unknown at 12 29 pm 5 comments tuesday february 5 2013 that baby boy s in the ice box again our little baby hey everyone it s bryce i don t write on the blog much well i don t ever write on the blog but i decided to go ahead and write something since we had what i like to think of as a milestone in our life the name for the post is one of my favorite childhood sayings from a client we had in our home that is how i always knew i was about to get in trouble for getting in the fridge well we had a baby that s it well that s not totally it we had a baby on 1 31 13 kristen gave birth to a sweet little baby boy that was 8 lbs 3 oz and was 20 inches long we have been anticipating this for a long time now i think it s been about 9 months or something like that the sleepless nights crying pooping crying peeing crying etc it is all completely and entirely worth it it is worth every minute every second of having him here with us the miracle of it all is that somehow god chose us to be his parents this is a new adventure for us and wait for it william his name is william william phillips as it turns out william is actually a baby i questioned this for about a half a second when he first came out but he is indeed a baby a baby boy at that kristen and i have thought that it would be really funny if he came out a girl since we already had everything decorated to look like a boy s room yeah still would have been kind of funny if we had to change it to lil y or lilliam or some more girly name william is now 4 whole days old at the very minute i m writing this actually we decided on william because we both really liked the name and thought it was nice easy to spell and a strong name his middle name is john kerry named after both of his grandfathers and his great grandfather all great men and all will be a great influence for good in william s life oh and phillips is the last name i thought it sounded good before we decided the next morning at the hospital what a great joy it is to have this little baby in our home he is a little bundle of wonder and didn t come with instructions or directions on how to change him or understand what his crying means at different times he came as a little perfect baby that will continue to grow and start to show us his personality he is quite the blessing in our home and we can t wait to see how he changes i was talking with my mom tonight about how children and life but mostly children come just how they are supposed to and we have the right amount of trials in our lives this talk stemmed from me telling my mom about the lds stake conference we had on sunday where elder jeffrey r holland one of the 12 apostles of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints came and spoke to our stake in a special stake conference at the end of his talk he left an apostolic blessing for everyone and specifically left a blessing for the children and new babies blessing them that they would be safe god gives us trials as he sees fit whether it be a crying baby at 2 in the morning a baby without instructions or something harder like death or dismemberment however our trials come in this life they are what we need and what we can handle having a new baby is challenge for both of us but it is worth it alright i know everyone especially my mom is asking for a lot more pictures than she has seen so i ll add a few at the end now the new mom immediately after birth what an amazing woman kristen is the little baby the next day with more normal color and head shape the outfit that was planned to take william home in the doctor said we could take him home as soon as he peed for the first time which happened to be a few minutes after we put him in this outfit he soaked it all the way through so we put him in a bear costume instead he enjoyed it and was a lot warmer than previously while we were still waiting to finish up at the hospital uncle don aunt cathye and hennessy came to visit the new baby uncle don was so excited for us and to get to hold him i think this is a great picture of them with william grandma carolyn giving william his first bath i think he liked it posted by bryce at 8 16 am 6 comments friday january 18 2013 one more week this past week i discovered hypno birthing i know a little late in the game new age yes but let me tell you it has been amazing it has been relaxing and filling me with positive vibes last week i was struggling a lot with fear and anxiety about the birth i would have nights where i couldn t sleep because i was afraid something was wrong with the baby or something could go wrong little things like thoughts of a cord tightly around his neck emergency c sections breached deliveries i think from the very beginning of this pregnancy i have been afraid of the worst being diagnosed with a sub chorionic hematoma sch early on and bleeding was a very emotional downward tailspin for me and prevented me from embracing the child growing in me for a long time i started to read and listen to all the horror stories of what could go wrong and totally absorbed myself in negativity these things have been on my mind for months i needed to let them go lets face it every woman has a warrior story when it comes to their bodies and motherhood whether it is a struggle to want to become a mother birthing loss adoption or infertility woman need to find support from others during these times we find solace in knowing we are not alone that things go wrong and that we can overcome i think i had placed myself in a mindset where i forgot to see the good joy victories and miracles ...
