Sadness!

Life has been absolutely crazy the last couple of months! Hence the no blogging. I am hoping that life will slow down so I can be better about blogging.
In August I started selling Paparazzi Accessories which is very fun/affordabe/fashionable jewelry for only $5.50. I have been very busy with craft fairs and parties. I really enjoy doing it.
In September we blessed Hallee. Dusty's dad Curtis performed the blessing for us and did an amazing job.
October brought Halloween. Hallee was the cutest little pink skeleton that you ever did see.
November brought Thanksgiving. We spent Thanksgiving at Lynzi and Aaron's in Pocatello. Food was amazing! The Monday after Thanksgiving Dusty's dad did not feel well and went to the ER in Soda. They then transported him to the University of Utah in Salt Lake.
Dusty's dad has been on the list for a liver transplant. Unfortunately he was unable to receive a transplant and as a result lost his very couragious battle with liver problems. This Christmas is going to be hard with out him. He was such an amazing person. He will be greatly missed. I could not imagine losing a parent. It breaks my heart to see Dusty and his family go through this. I know that Papa is ok now and is no longer suffering. I just hope that we can always remember to never take anything or anyone for granted. Remember the true meaning of Christmas this year.
I just want all my family and friends know how much you all mean to me. I am sure I don't show it enough.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Summer!

Summer is finally here I think. We are doing awesome I am just loving being a mom. I get tired time to time and could use a nap but Hallee does pretty good sleeping at night. I started back at work last Monday and I was fine taking Hallee to daycare until I got in the car and I completely lost it. I am not one to cry like that but I did. The daycare here in town is awesome they do soo good with Hallee and she doesn't mind it at all. Dusty is doing great. He is soo excited for the blackfoot river to open on Friday. He gets to take the day off and go fishing. We are soo excited to go camping this weekend. It will pretty interesting for our first time camping with Hallee. Two weeks ago I finally got her pictures taken and they turned out soo cute. Thanks Amanda!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy 4th of JULY!!!

Time Flies!

Wow Hallee is already six weeks old today. This has been the fastest six weeks of my life. I have really enjoyed being off of work to be home with her. I go back to work on Monday and am dreading leaving her at day care. I know that I am going to cry. It will be very hard.
Hallee went to the Dr. a couple weeks ago for a check-up and she neede to be back up to her birth weight which was 5 lbs 14 oz and she weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. The Dr. was very pleased. She is such a good baby and sleeps pretty good through the nights. She is starting to really smile and me and especially Dusty. We absolutely love being parents and are totally in love with Hallee.
Yesterday was mine and Dusty's three year anniversary. It has been a great three years and many more to go.

She is here!

Wow that went by fast. Our BEAUTIFUL little girl has finally arrived. Hallee J Ayers was born May 4 at 12:44 pm and weighed 5 lbs 14 oz and 20 3/4 in. long. She had no problems what so ever and neither did I. I went to the Dr. on the 3 the day after my due date and he gave me the option to be induced or wait to go into labor on my own. I wanted to be induced. We went to labor and delivery at about 2:30 am on the 4 and they started me on cytotec which helps to soften your cervix. We tried to sleep but it didn't really work. We walked around labor and delivery to help things along I did start to contract, but they weren't very strong or consistent. Dr. Cox came to check on me at about 8:30 am and I was 75% effaced and 3 cm dilated. He decided to break my water and start me on the PIT. The PIT was started at 9 am and I was very ready for the epidural by 9:45. I had a lot of back labor and Dusty and Lynzi were awesome at massaging my back for me and letting me squeeze the crap out of their hands during contractions and my mom can give a great foot massage. Thank goodness for those wonderful epidurals. The nurse checked me a while later and I was complete and she had me push a few times and we were ready to get the Dr. and get this baby here. I started to push right around noon and she was born at 12:44 pm. I was so overwhelmed and excited to have brought this beautiful little girl into the world and Dusty was and is such a proud daddy. He is soo good with Hallee. One of my favorite features that she has is her daddy's crooked pinkies. We are soo happy and life couldn't get any better.

38 Weeks!

Wow time has flown by again. Lots to catch up on. Last week I went to the Dr. and I was only measuring 34 weeks and was 37 and the week before I was measuring 35 weeks. Basicall that is not good. He ordered an ultrasound and everything look good fluid was ok she was just small. So this week he measured me and I am measuring two weeks behind instead of three. He is not too worried because she is proportionate in her measurements and is confident that she is just going to be a small little girl. She is weighing about 5 lbs 7 oz as of last week. I am dilated a little and am very anxious. I have been feeling really good just tired then I will get a spurt of energy.
Dusty and I are getting very excited, nervous, and anxious. I am ready to meet her and can harldy wait. The ultrasound showed that she has a lot of hair maybe the wivestail about heartburn is true. I will definitely not miss that once I have her.

31 Weeks!

Wow how time flies. I am now 31 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good. I get heart burn alot and pretty bad but that is about it. I am now going to the Dr. every two weeks. I went last Wednesday and had lost 11/2 lbs. Not sure why but I am still measuring where I should be so he isn't too worried yet. I am doing my best to gain the weight that I need to. Dusty and I are getting excited for her to get here. Here is a picture of the belly at 30 weeks!

3D Ultrasound

On Thursday I went to the Doctor again for another check up and everything is going great. I had an ultrasound to see if the placenta previa had moved and it had so that is great. I also had a 3D ultrasound and it was awesome.

Belly at 24 weeks!

We are doing good and I am just getting bigger. I gained my last two pounds so I weigh now what I weighed when we found out we were expecting. I am very glad that the sickness is behind me.

It's a Girl!!

So this last Thursday we had our ultrasound to find out if we were having a boy or a girl. We both wanted a boy because Dusty is the last Ayers to carry on the name, but we are having a GIRL and couldn't be more happy. Dusty could not stop smiling and I am soo excited because girls are going to rule the house. She is about 8 oz. right now and growing like crazy. I am feeling a ton better but still have to gain 2 more lbs. until I am at my starting weight. I never thought having to gain weight would be so hard.
We are getting excited for Christmas and for Dusty's 24th birthday. We have been busy working and enjoying life. I am excited to start looking for baby stuff and of course lots of pink camo!!
