luke and michele skip to main skip to sidebar wednesday september 9 2009 man i suck at this hello again i know i know it has been forever since i ve updated this thing so now i m giving a re cap of how everyone is i was pretty busy for a while working and taking care of viv but now i m only taking care of viv my lovely job laid me off in july if anyone missed that memo i was pretty dang ticked because i had been there for four years but i realize i m a lot happier now w out all the stress i wasn t a huge fan of turner gas but change is hard so i stayed because i was comfortable now i hold down the fort i cook dinner almost every night clean water plants pay bills take out the garbage and have viv following me the whole time luk e is going to the university of utah now and only has about 5 semesters to go be fore he has his bachelors in business management and finance he also works full time to provide for his family i m so proud of him and am impressed by what a hard worker he is i know he has a lot on his shoulders but he rarely ever shows it unless i pester him about how he s doing with everything now for viv she has the most out of anyone going on she started walking at 7 3 4 months old and complete ly by passed crawling and no she doesn t not have developmental problems from this she loves books and he r baby doll however she does throw her sometimes she say s ba when she sees her ball and baba when i ask if she wants a bottle when you say stomp your feet she will do just tha t and points to her nose when you ask her where it is i can t believe how fast babies learn things she s starting to drink milk and eat big kid foods but isn t a big fan of juice which is nice since cavities suck she will usually eat anything mommy and daddy are eating though preferably over her own food vivian is also starting to climb up and down on the furniture this is fun and she gets a kick out of it so i just watch to make sure she s safe she loves being outside and if there s a rock or a hose near she ll grab it and have fun for minutes she has a short attention span ha ha as a family we travel to st george as much as we can sometimes i go without luke so i can have some good girl bonding time my family also comes up to see us as much as they can since viv has been born my mom has seen her once a month which i think is pretty darn good we also took our first camping trip together this year i will say i don t recommend taking an 11 month old camping in 100 degree weather unless you have a hotel to go back to so they can cool down i hope it will be better next year when she is almost 2 i m probably forgetting a ton of things but that is what happens when you don t update your blog in many months thanks for reading and i ll try to update this again soon

yesterday august 21 was vivian s 2 month doctor appointment she now weighs 13 lbs 5 oz and is 24 inches long the doctor says she is growing very well and is in the 95 for her age i m not sure if this is a good way to tell whether or not she will be tall i was in the 95 when i was a baby and we all see how tall i am anyhoo she is doing very well the doctor suggested we put her on a new lactose free formula because she seemed to be having an allergic reaction to the regular stuff i guess she was having a hard time breaking down the proteins which caused her tummy to hurt making her think she was hungry this made her eat every hour and a half now when i called the nurses and asked them if this was normal they said sure just keep feeding her boy were they wrong i think i ll be talking to the doctor directly when i have concerns from now on hopefully this new stuff works so she can eat less be more comfortable and sleep longer after the general check up it was time for her shots she got 2 in one leg 1 in the other and some liquid stuff she had to swallow she drank the liquid stuff up really fast it must have tasted good when it was time for her shots luke held her hands and i closed my eyes she cried for a second but it wasn t anything worse then i ve heard before and she quieted down once her bottle was back in her mouth i was very proud of the little peanut once we got home she took her afternoon nap and woke up very unhappy i think her legs were sore from the shots because when she moved them she would start screaming now this was a cry i had never heard before it was nearly impossible to change her little diaper listening to her cry mom even had to cry too i gave her some children s tylenol and eventually she fell asleep on our bed once she woke up she seemed to be doing a lot better thank goodness she got another dose of tylenol before she went to bed for the night and didn t have any problems after that today aug 22 she is 100 better mommy and she both slept in however because they were so pooped from the day before posted by michele and luke at 3 03 pm 1 comment monday october 20 2008 life as a mom hello everyone it has been a while since i last wrote but things have been a little busy vivian was welcomed into this world on august 21 2008 the day after her dad s birthday i decided to be induced so my family could be up here for it and because grandma was stressing out a little bit i didn t have any contractions by her due date however it still worked out for the best because the little peanut was bum first so thos e contractions would have never started after 10 hours of sitting there going through the contractions the doctors discovered this tiny problem and 30 minutes later vivian was here via c section the whole delivery went great and vivian weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz and was 22 1 2 inches long vivian and i were in the hospital thurs sunday and boy was i glad to go home she was also a little juandiced at first so while we were there they put her on the bilirubin bed other then that she did great since she has come home with us life has been totally different she is my everything my days are now based on when she takes a nap and when she eats which is about every hour and a half this made for an incredibly hard time nursing i felt really bad at first but then i realized she is happy and growing strong and that is what really matters if i didn t have to work i would probably spend all day just staring at her but since i do have to work i squeeze it in when i m not playing with her luke is also adorable with her he has gotten better at giving her a bath and he is still working on changing her diaper he doesn t like how much her legs wiggle so far her favorite times are when she s naked and when she is eating she has recently started smiling so just putting her on the bed and tryin g to get her to do that is fun we ve also realized that from the nose up she looks like luke when he was a baby and from the mouth down she looks like me she also has the chubbiest body ever but it is absolutely adorable i just want to kiss her cheeks all day so as you can probably tell i love being a mommy getting up in the middle of the night really isn t all that bad poopy diapers come and go and it s great when the crying stops because you made everything all better just looking at her makes me feel so blessed tomorrow she will be two months old i can t believe how fast time has flown by i m just trying to take in every minute of it posted by michele and luke at 3 36 pm 2 comments friday august 15 2008 6 days and counting well today is friday 08 15 and baby viv has 6 more days til she reaches her due date she s technically due the 21st but i see her going a little bit past that i was 10 days late so it would be karma ha ha i packed a bag for myself and baby last night so if anything does happen we re good to go i also cleaned the house did some b day shopping for luke and paid bills that were due close to that time hopefully i ve got everything taken care of so i can have a breather when she gets here now i just wait posted by michele and luke at 10 15 am 3 comments monday august 4 2008 we moved since luke s grandma remarried and offered to let us live in her house for 2 years while we saved up money for our own place since she is now living with her new husband well this weekend we finally moved into it here is a picture of our new backyard however moivng wasn t easy it is amazing how much stuff you can accumulate throughout the years that you didn t even realize you had we have a food processor weird we had a lot of wedding gifts in storage since our apartment kitchen didn t have much counter space but it was like a second wedding when we pulled all our stuff out again one thing that made the move 100 times bett er was hiring movers being 37 weeks pregnant i couldn t really do much so the movers moved all of our big furniture down three flights of stairs for us it was a stress relief for luke as well we moved all of our own boxes ourself and still have a few to pick up but we ve got all the important things out it has been nice putting our own furniture and pictures up in her house because it is beginning to feel more like our home it will definitely be a great place for baby vivian s first 2 years now that we re in i also get to start washing all of the baby s sheets and clothes so they re ready for her to wear when she gets here i have been looking forward to doing that i am glad that i technically have three weeks until the baby is here thought because we have a cat daisy who hides under our blankets most of the day hoping she will magically pop back up in her old home so i have 3 weeks to get her adjusted to the new house before we bring a baby into it whoever says pets aren t like kids obviously hasn t had a spoiled cat like ours jk ok so i m not she is very spoiled well that was our weekend i hope everyone had a good one as well posted by michele and luke at 10 10 am 3 comments hot mama so my work threw me a little baby shower and this is the super sweet shirt they made me i just wanted to show you all they also took me to olive garden which was very tasty thanks guys posted by michele and luke at 10 00 am 1 comment monday july 14 2008 big weekend so we did it the nursery is pretty much done with the exception of the inside of the closet to your left you ll see the before picture pretty bad i know we had to tear off all of the wallpaper then patch the holes and finally repaint it the top is a pale yellow while the bottom is a little darker yellow luke s mom painted most of the room since i couldn t then my m om came up this weekend and we put all the new furniture together ourselves the dresser was by far the hardest thing to put together after all that was done we put the bedding on just so we could see how it looked i think it looks pretty dang good if i do say so myself it makes me feel good to have the nursery done i just want to stand in there and wait for vivian to come i m so glad my mom could be here to help set up the rest of it too she wanted to help so much when she heard we were starting to paint but it is hard when you live 4 hours away besides i d rather her be there for the finished pro duct anyway rather then just help paint then not come up again until the baby is here luke was great he wanted us to have the entire weekend to ourselves and we did i really enjoyed it i had so much fun with her luke s mom and sister also threw me a baby shower this weekend they did such a great job i really do have some awesome in laws we only played 2 games thank goodness then opened presents and ate the rest of the time baby viv got sooo much stuff it was over whelming but very nice of everyone who ca me now i just need to get myself a baby monitor mattress pad and a few other odds and ends sure i ve got 6 weeks left but having all this done takes a bit of the stress away now luke and i just have to work on moving all our stuff once his grandma moves her furniture out the big move in date is august 2 it ll be nice to finally be in there so i can start working from home until this baby comes this weekend i also found out that i have group b strep i looked it up online and let me tell you those websites aren t the most pleasant places to look up that sort of info i texted my friend mel and she gave me some reassuring advice though which made me feel a little bit better so technically i got rid of one stress with the nursery being finished and replaced it with another ha ha isn t that how life goes i just want her to be ok that is my main concern right now posted by michele and luke at 12 14 pm 5 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom luke and michele blog archive 2009 1
