7 lbs 20"

Some of the pictures are a little graphic... BEWARE! :)

Had to stay on oxygen for all of my labor. My heart rate was really high while Isaac's was really low. :( Don't I look like I'm having some serious fun???

Sweet Brian trying to keep my blood pressure down. Trying to help me relax and know that all will be well. We were done with this pregnancy... WE WANTED ISAAC HERE ALREADY!!!

I got to have a Popsicle every two hours... and I made sure I got it. Man was I thirsty those 20 some odd hours!

Time for the c-section... not real excited about it... BUT I did just want to be done. Glad Brian was sitting right next to me and my Mom was able to be in the room too... since she is a nurse and knows my Doctor.

GRAPHIC...

Pulling Isaac out of my tummy... you can see the umbilical cord. It was wrapped around his head TWICE... that is why his heart rate dropped with my contractions and he never dropped into the birth canal. So grateful for technology these days! Saved my sweet boys life!!!

He's out safe and sound... with a good pair of lungs... my oh my! He wanted to stay in... it was WARM in there!

He may be slimy... but I still think he's cute! BRAND SPANKING NEW!!!

Doing the new baby tests!!

First time with MOMMY!!!! FINALLY!!!! Amazing how you instantly love them so unconditionally! I do look like I was hit by a train... then again I kind of was! Some women make it look so easy... NOT ME! I had to stay on oxygen for another 24 hours. I'm in no hurry to do that again! I am just going to enjoy my sweet angel!

SO PRECIOUS!!! Haven't even had my bath yet... and I'm still so cute!
Nice thing about a C-section... no cone head! He just looks perfect!!

Enjoying my sweet Angel!! Can't believe he's finally here!

So tiny... love his little hands... with the long fingers!

My sweet nurse who helped me out so much! I loved her!

Proud new Daddy!!!

He was so relieved to finally have him here safe and sound! What a precious gift from our Heavenly Father!

First bath... with the Nurse and Daddy's help!

Think he's proud??? :)

Very first family photo! Too bad I look so great...

Alrighty Dad... I'm ready to go skiing!!!

I had so many wonderful visitors!!! It meant the world to me!

Love Britt... such a great nurse... even if she wasn't ever MY nurse! :) She still took care of me!

Isaac LOVED to be held like this... and Brian felt more comfortable holding him like this! :)

BEST DOCTOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Dr. Smith for taking such great care of Isaac and I!!!!

My two boys bonding!!!

Loved taking Naps together already!!

March 2010...

March 2010...

The beginning of March I was able to go on Katie's choir tour to California. We rode on buses down to Las Vegas where they did a workshop at UNLV. [Poor Katie got a SHOCKING experience in L.V..] Then later we got the AWESOME oppurtunity to go see the Broadway "PHANTOM OF THE OPERA". It was truly amazing! It was so unreal. It was fun... it was Katie's and my first time seeing it on Broadway. Then we went to the Bollagio to see the fountains. That was neat. We didn't get on the buses until about 11:30 pm that night. We were so excited to see the buses. We slept on the buses the rest of way to California. Well... we tried to sleep. It was brutal. We were so excited to see the IHOP at 5 in the morning. Needless to say we didn't sleep real great. We got to go into Disneyland the first two days in California. They had some great workshops there and then we just got to PLAY in Disneyland and California Adventure! It was AWESOME!!! Who doesn't love Disneyland? SERIOUSLY!!! I know I DO!!! Katie hadn't been to Disneyland [only Disneyworld - poor girl! ;)] So that was fun! Then we went on a boat cruise. We were hoping to see Whales... instead we just got sea sick. Poor Katie didn't do so hot there. She just rested on my shoulder the whole time. Felt so sad for her. Then the kids did a fireside right across from the temple. That was cool! The next day we got to go to Disneyland again! [After they had a great couple of workshops at different colleges!] We had a lot of fun... then we did some shopping in downtown Disney! Got some super fun things!!! I LOVE DISNEYLAND!!! The next day was brutal again... we drove straight home on the buses... and once we hit St. George we were in a SNOW STORM the rest of the way. We were so excited when we finally drove into the Heber valley. We all were anxious to be home.

So that was the first time I had really ever been away from Isaac... HARDEST THING EVER!!! Oh man... I missed him SOOOOOOOOOO much! I had to call EVERY day to check on him, and I welcomed many pictures daily from my parents of him. It helped ease the pain of being away from him a little. But not much! It was not easy! I survived... and so did he. BUT IT WAS HARD!!!

The rest of the month was PRETTY quiet.

Helped my parents do some more packing at their house. Got some skiing in when I could.

THE BIGGEST EVEN TOOK PLACE ON THE 25TH!

ISAAC TURNED ONE!!!

I couldn't believe my baby was ONE! The last year went by so fast! Then again... having Isaac filled up all of that time! :) It was the best year I have ever had. The most rewarding, joyful, happy, and wonderful year! He has been the light of my life!

We were going to go to the ZOO... but the weather was not great. That evening we went out to my parents house for his big birthday bash! We had our families and close friends over for cake and ice cream... and presents of course! He was spoiled! :) [Of course!!!] The cake was the best... he didn't hesitate at all. He just dove right in and enjoyed himself! It was classic! We got some great pictures! I am so grateful for my sweet little Angel and the joy he brings me. He truly is my life... he is the reason I am here on this earth. He means so much to me. I now know why my mother always says she loves me more then I love her. I love my mother dearly... but there is just no comparision to the love you have for your child. It is so 100% unconditional. I would do ANYTHING for my sweet precious boy! I am so grateful the Lord would trust me with such a precious spirit and such a huge task of raising him to be the man he needs to be. It's overwelming... but so worth it! I love him with all of my heart. My heart bursts with the amount of love I have for him. He brings me so much joy that I never knew was possible to even have. I love my sweet Isaac Henry!

February 2010...

February 2010...

I started February off by going and staying in Heber with Katie. Bruce and Alison went out of town and so Isaac and I went up to be with Katie for a few days. We had fun! Played lots of games and visited a lot.

We helped Emily move into my parents house. She needed to be out of her apartment, so she decided she would move in with our parents for a time.

We watched a lot of the Olympic's this month! It was so fun to be able to watch them!

We helped Janice move to Heber!

I learned how to make a super yummy, easy Winter White Chili. I made it a few times in February! It's so good!!!

January 2010...

So now that I am finally onto 2010 I am going to do my posts by MONTH... that is until I am up to date and current! :) So ENJOY!!! Sorry I am still so BEHIND... I am trying...

January 2010...

Well... it was my Birth month!

I started celebrating as early as I could get away with it. Mom spoiled me like usual and we went shopping. Got a few new things! Had lunch together... then we went out to dinner with Brian, Emily and both my parents were there! [And of course Isaac!!!]

ON my birthday...

Brian and I went out to dinner and a movie. We went to Gateway and ate at Tucano's. YUM! I love Brazilian food! Then we went to see "Blind Side". It was such a wonderful movie! I had a great birthday celebration!

Isaac continued to get more teeth. The teething process is not fun! He is so miserable when he is teething... but I can't blame him either. He did get two teeth this month.

I tried to get out skiing as often as I could. It was nice to have my ski pass to Solitude. Brian of course skied much, much more then I did. It was fun I got to go skiing with Katie also. We just took it nice and slow... my kind of skiing! :)

Isaac continued to grow and eat as much as possible. He was doing great on the baby food!

At the end of the month... the Anderson's went to the Mt. Aire cabin. We had a good time! Played lots of guitar hero. LOTS!!! It was fun!

What a great January!!

Kidney stones - 8 months pregnant

Oh the misery!

So I was 8 months along and working at the Inn at Solitude Mtn Resort...

I all of a sudden got a really sharp pain thru my left side

and it didn't go away.

So I was pretty sure it wasn't labor - but I didn't know what was going on.

[I'll be honest... I was wondering if I was just having a sudden attack. NOPE!]

I didn't know what to do... I was working by myself.

I let my manager go for a ski break.

It was slow and really boring anyways.

Thank goodness Brian was working that day.

I called him in a panic and told him he needed to come down and get me.

He was there pretty quickly.

He strapped me to a back board [semi-embarrassing] and took me over to the clinic.

They asked me a lot of questions - while I was throwing up in their waste basket.

They ruled out labor and decided it may be kidney stones,

but that I should probably go to the hospital.

Brian asked me if I wanted a ambulance... I told him

NO, JUST GET ME THERE!

It was the worst car ride ever... I was in so much pain.

I just whimpered, cried, and screamed the whole way down the canyon.

[Driving Brian crazy!]

Got to the emergency room and they sent me straight to the Womens Center.

They gave me shots of morphine in my butt [OUCH] and started doing tests.

They decided they were pretty sure it was kidney stones.

They took me over for x-rays on my kidney. [My left side]

They couldn't see my kidney - my colon was pretty dang full.

YUCK!

I stayed for 24 hours - on wonderful morphine!

Then stayed on Loratab at home!

Needless to say I didn't go back to work after that.

Instead I curled up on the couch and didn't go far from there!

I went back to the hospital about a week later for another stone.

Was there for 12 hours.

Then I passed another one at home...

decided it was time to do something about my colon.

Tried different things... don't need to list them! :)

Ended up taking a colonoscopy prep to help it along.

NASTY STUFF!!!!

It was midnight when I started.

My sweet husband and parents stayed up with me.

They watched a movie while I was in the corner in agony.

Of course it was a comedy so they kept laughing and enjoying themselves...

while I am just writhing in pain!

Felt some what better after that night.

By this point I was finally dilated to a one...

my doctor told me if I got ONE more kidney stone...

he would start me now that I was at a one.

He didn't want to just keep waiting.

It was probably stressing the baby out AND I was sick of the pain!

Plus he wanted to figure out what the deal was with my kidneys.

Well... I got ANOTHER ONE.

So Tuesday morning, March 24, I had finally had enough.

I called the hospital and they said they would call me back when

they had a room available for me to come in and use.

It wasn't an hour later that they called.

SO IT WAS TIME!!!

Here I am in all my misery!

I have my phone just in case I would need it...

and a heating pad to help with the pain.

It hurt to lay all the way down,

So I had to prop myself up a little.

Tell you what... I didn't sleep great!

The Loratab knocks me out!

As you can see...

sweet Mom getting me in my prime!

Family Shower ~ 3/19/09

Love the great Peterson family!

We debated whether or not we were going to be able to do this shower.

By this time I believe I had had 2 or 3 kidney stones.

Talk about miserable!!!

I would much rather be in the most miserable part

of pregnancy before having kidney stones.

This day I was feeling pretty good. Still didn't really get ready.

This alone drained ALL of my energy.

I didn't get off this couch.

Literally!!!

People brought me food,

handed me the presents,

THEY WERE MY SLAVES!

Ok, not really... just wonderful to help me out in my time of need!

Opening my awesome presents!

I love that no one around me is smiling...

they all look really bored!

HAHA!

The awesome crew! Love my sisters & cousins!!

Thanks Sisters for putting it together!

My sweet Mom & Aunts!

Ginni & Kay!

Me, Mom & Tammy!

[In case you didn't notice... look above my aunts...

Yes that is Kim laughing and Christy pointing to her butt!

LOVE THEM! I laugh every time I see this picture!]

Brian wasn't so sure about getting to open a "BABY" present.

That's my department!

But I knew what it was already... and figured he would be the one using it!

SWEET!!!

Thanks Grandpa & Grandma Peterson!

It was their tradition to give each grandchild a hiking pack

for each first great-grandchild born in that particular family.

The aunts have done a GREAT job keeping it up!

Thank you!!!

It has been used A TON!!!
