Florida

Yes, I'm finally in Florida.  I've been here for a full week now and so far so good.  Fort Myers is nice, not too big.  Just really hot and humid.  I don't have any pics yet, but I will be getting some to post soon.  Wyatt is finally growing.  For those of you who don't know...I was sorta starving my son.  It's not as bad as it sounds, he was having a really hard time nursing.  I could not figure out what his problem was, but I thought he was fine.  He was just really fussy all the time.  I took him to the doctor before I left Idaho and found out that he had only gained 4 oz in three weeks!!!  I know bad.  So now I have the priviliage of pumping 7-8 times a day so I can make sure he is getting the amount of milk he needs.  He is a different baby now.  He is happy all the time, sleeps better, and is just the cutest little boy ever!  Everyone here loves him.  I make dinner for guys and girls in the office almost every night and whenever they are over here everyone fights over Wyatt.  It's funny to watch the boys carefully pass him around like he is so fragile.  

There are 5 girls in our office this summer.  Obviously there is more drama than in the past summers, but for the most part they are cool girls.  One of the girls, Jill, has become my personal trainer.  She kicks my butt!  I've only gone with her a couple of days so far, but I can't move.  On Thursday we worked out our legs.  I  knew I was out of shape, but after working out with her I was  in more pain than I have ever been in post workout.  It's a little difficult sitting down, standing up, walking, pretty much doing anything.  The worst is carrying Wyatt in his car seat up and down three flights of stairs to our apt.  Today we are doing arms, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be out of commission for a few days.  Let's just hope all this pain pays off!  I'll let you know.

My First Mother's Day!

Sunday was my very first Mother's Day. It wasn't exactly how I had pictured my first Mother's Day to be. Probably because Nick is in Florida and I'm still in Idaho. Don't get me wrong it was fun to spend Mother's Day with my own mom, but it was crappy that Nick wasn't here. To make things less Mother's Day like the two moms in the house (my mom and I) made dinner and dessert. It probably tasted better than it would have if my two brothers and dad would have made dinner, but I know my mom felt bad that we had to do it. At least we didn't have to do dishes.

My highlight of Mother's Day where these beautiful flowers that Nick sent me. I figured he would just forget all about it. I need to give him a little more credit. I love my husband. So even though it wasn't my ideal Mother's Day all that matters is that I have Wyatt to be a mom to. I am so lucky to have such a cute precious baby. Being a mom is the most amazing thing ever. I have a new found respect for my mom. She is an amazing person who I owe a lot to. I couldn't ask for a better mom! Oh, and Wyatt's present to me, he rolled over for the first time!

Naps...Finally!

So, Wyatt has been having some problems taking naps lately. He will fall asleep and his arms will start twitching, which wakes him up. Then he won't go back to sleep, or will only sleep if someone is holding him. Anyway, it has been driving me crazy so my mom told me to try putting him on his tummy for his naps (I know "back to sleep" but I was getting desperate). It works though, he has started taking 2-3 hour naps twice a day. It is so nice!!! I can finally get stuff done.He was taking his afternoon nap and had his butt clear up in the air. It was too cute!
Sound asleep, he even drools when he sleeps once in a while. But doesn't he look so comfy?

Blessing Day!

Wyatt was blessed into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on March 30, 2008.  Nick performed the blessing.  It was very special.  Nick said he wasn't nervous, so I was for him.  We had a lot of family and friends come to support us.  There were 15 men in the blessing circle.

Photo Shoot!

Jason West took these pictures of Wyatt, and I photoshopped them.  Yes, I am learning how to photoshop and getting pretty good at it.  Now Jason just has to teach me how to take good pictures.

Wyatt Aaron Wilson

On February 13, 2008 our lives were blessed with a little angel... Wyatt Aaron Wilson.  I went into labor at 12:00 am on the 13th and he was born at 2:53 pm after 2 hours of pushing, 6 lbs 13 oz, 18 1/2 inches long.  Just a little piece of advice...GET THE EPIDURAL!  He was a little weird looking, Nick will be the first one to tell you that, but I have never been happier in my life.  When the doctor put him on my chest for the first time I felt a love deeper than I have ever felt.  I know it sounds cheezy, but it's the truth.  Now almost two months later I couldn't image my life without Wyatt.  Yeah the sleepless nights are not fun and all the crying he does at times can drive me a little crazy, but I love him so much.  I can't believe how much he has grown and now even smiles and coos (my favorite sound in the world).  With a wonderful supportive husband and a beautiful baby boy, my life could not be more perfect!
