July

Not much happend in July. We were just adjusting to a having a sweet new baby boy in the house. It was exhausting but we adjusted well!

Hated his first bath as you can see...

Probably my favorite picture ever. Don't you just want to squeeze him?

One month birthday. We celebrated with a cupcake and a little baby that didn't get to eat one.

4th of July. I didn't take very many pictures

24th of July

oh how I love this picture....

Here are some newborn pics

Peace out.

After I heard this for the first time, I just wanted to snuggle my baby boy for the rest of the day. I've always been a Swiftie and this proves that she is beautiful, inside and out. Check out rockstarronan.com to read the whole story.

June

June started out really slow and I was very large. We were living in Manti by now and I was having so much fun spending time with my family and Kurt's parents. But I was so ready to have this baby boy. He was just getting so big. There aren't many pictures of me in my last days of being pregnant because I was just so over taking pictures.

My mom, sister, sister-in-law, and best friend threw me a shower right before my due date. The quality of this picture is terrible because it's from my phone and I don't have a cool smart phone but look at how big my belly was. I'm wearing flip flops because that is all I could wear. My feet were soooo swollen.

Okay I thought long and hard about posting the birth story and i'm sorry to say that I don't think i'm going to. I even typed it all up and here are my reasons for not posting it, a) it's kind of personal b) it was a rough labor and delivery and c) it is really long! So if you're just really dying to hear it I leave me your email in the comments and I'll send it to you.

After 12 hours of labor...

He was born June 19 at 7:30 am.
He was 8lbs. 8oz.
He is my sweet baby boy Maddax Korry Marchant.

My sister is a spaz

Hated his first bath.

His cousin Deacon. They are two months apart.

The vacuum marks. They had to try twice to get him out. That's why there are two circles on his head.

Melt my heart...

June continued...

{Here are some pictures we took in June also}

It's only been five months...

Dude, I haven't blogged for five months and let me tell you, a lot has happened. Like a lot. Like I had a baby and that changes just about everything. I don't even know where to begin. What to catch up on and what not to. Okay here is what i'm going to do I'll start with May, and do one post until I get to August since it's the beginning of September.

Let's start with May.
I graduated in May from SUU with a BS in Elementary Education. I was eight months pregnant and waddled across that stage to get my diploma and it was great.

Receiving my pretend diploma

Couldn't have done it without these girls. We were together 24/7 during the BLOCK. I love them.

While we were all together Nicole and Gentry threw Allison and I the best joint baby shower ever. It was so much fun and they put a lot of work into it.

Sister

Nicole and her pregnant friends!

I love my mom and my sister.

Like I mentioned above I was eight months pregnant. I wrote some of my feelings at the beginning of May on how I was feeling about almost becoming a mother. I will share them on here:

"I'm 35 weeks TODAY! Woo! Although I feel like i'm 48 weeks. I have one big belly.
I crave popsicles, smoothies, and other fruity or sour things.
I'm anemic and having some trouble keeping my iron level and blood count up. Scary.
I found some stretch marks on my hips the other day and ruined the whole day for me. But once I threw a pity party for a day I moved on and realized I would take stretch marks over not being able to have a baby.
The boy either loves or hates music. He moves like crazy in church.
Heart burn is the worst.
I'm wearing Kurt's shirts and having a hard time finding cute outfits to wear.
Feeling the boy move will never get old. Everyone says that but It's so true.
I'M NOT READY!

Seriously though I don't feel ready for him to come. Reality hit when I opened the bag of newborn diapers and I thought, "Omg, a tiny human little body is going to fit in those and i'm responsible to take care of him." Then boom. The anxiety all came at once. I don't have enough blankets, or binkies or diapers. I need socks, and onsies and burp cloths. What do I put in my hospital bag and when do I pack that?! I want a cute diaper bag, but which one?! Oh don't worry the list continues! Everyone tells me i'm overreacting because I still have one more baby shower, but it doesn't help. Hopefully I can get a grip and finish out this pregnancy feeling prepared. I'm not working on a nursery because I will do that when we move back to Logan in August. So you'd think that would lighten the load a little but it hasn't yet. I'm grateful for Kurt. He can calm me down and make me feel better for awhile but it comes right back. I'm losing it! Ready or not he is coming in five weeks give or take a week and I really am excited to see his cute little face."

After reading this right now I realize all that was for nothing. It's amazing how everything just works out and If you don't have something you find a way to do without. I'm such a worrier and of course it was totally for nothing :) and I had my second shower and was showered with many gifts from wonderful family and friends.

Well I hope you look forward to June! That one is a doosy.

This month is such a special one it's birthday time for.....

US!!!!

I love that Kurt and I have birthdays two days apart. It makes for an awesome week of celebrating and eating cake. This year was fun because Kurt's friend that he goes to school with, his birthday was on the 21st so we invited him and his girlfriend over for some cake and ice cream. Well Kurt's other school friends found out and wanted to join us in the partying. It was a rockin' party.

March 20- Kurt's birthday, Cake and ice cream with friends

March 21- Paydon's birthday, Kurt and I chilled that day and ate left over cake and ice cream

March 22- My birthday, shopped all day then went out to eat with all of Kurt's school friends, then games. I forgot my camera so I'm hoping to get a copy from one of the wife's there.

On Friday we hooked up Kurt's high school/lifelong friends Luke and Brad and their families. We stayed at Brad's house and played more games, ate some delicious food and got some good laughs in. Saturday we went bowling, and drove to Salt Lake to shop at the new City Creek Center which was amazing. I can't wait to shop there more!! To end the weekend we ate at the Cheesecake Factory and headed back to Logan to teach primary on Sunday.

Note: I look so sick as in deathly ILL in these pictures and I don't usually post pictures that I look disgusting in but these were the only pictures I took that weekend.
