Family photo Shoot

a couple weeks ago we went to get Hadley's pictures done and then decided to get a family shot to. Hadley did great. I had scheduled the appointment while she should have been asleep but she had other plans.. We got there and she decided to wake up right as we started taking pictures, but she only was crying in one shot and then just looked around for the rest. Even being stripped down her diaper she was a happy little girl... we love how they turned out, our baby girl is just to cute...

and on a little note-- Last night Hadley rolle over 4 times,,, thanks to darla for putting her on her tummy.... to crazy

Oh What A Christmas!

this is how Hadley spent Christmas morning

Christmas was lots of fun this year. And having Hadley made it all that better, even though she has no idea what went on and was asleep through most of it, it was fun to have her there with the family. We got to Logan on Christmas eve and spent that night and Christmas morning with my family. Hadley's grandpa loves her just a little bit,,, he was holding her every chance he got and was mad when we took her away from him and was even willing to take a night shift position so Ben and i could get some sleep...Jena, Derek, and Kamdyn came up this year and it was so much fun. I love Kamdyn she has the cutest little voice and just talks all day long. We spent Christmas with Ben's family where we ate to much food and played lots of Mario cart and Guitar hero.. and where we almost didn't make it back to Smithfield because of all the snow.. The snow which made it impossible to get back down to SLC so Ben could go to work the next day, that was Ben's little Christmas miracle. So we ended up staying in Logan from Wednesday to Sunday,,, that was a little to long for me. We had 2 nights of Hadley staying up, Christmas eve she was up till 4 and Christmas night she was up till 5:30 but after that she was great.. we loved being up there and spending it with our families... we have the best family ever!!!!

1 month old already

I can't believe my little Hadley is already 1 month old!! how time flies. Ben says it feels like it's been a month but for me it feels like we just brought her home from the hospital.. She is getting so big and starting to make faces and she loves to sit with her daddy and watch him talk to her... she is so beautiful and i can't imagine our lives with out her...

Where did my good girl go

So Hadley has been a really good baby since she came into the world. she sleeps well and eats well and then when she is awake she is a very content baby, all she wants to do is look around and be held and talked to.

well last night someone took my sweet little baby and gave me one that didn't want to sleep... Hadley is usually up till 12 or 1 so last night at 12 i fed her and then rocked her to get her to fall asleep, she fell asleep and i put her to bed. 10 minutes later she woke up, after an hour of this little game i was pretty tired and handed her off to Ben to get her to sleep. At 2 this morning i woke up to her crying, Ben was having the same luck as me. so i took her and yeah for me she fell right to sleep... but once again the minute i laid her down she woke right back up.. this went on till 4 this morning and then she finally was to tired to wake back up...

how i love my daughter but last night i could have given her away!!!! and tonight's not looking good either,,,,, Wish me luck

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

the cool but WAY to expensive glass tree

one of my favorite trees

our finally finished christmas tree

Hadley looking at the lights on the Christmas tree

So we've had a pretty uneventful couple of weeks,... Hadley and i have been hanging out at home while Ben is at work and when Ben comes home we have been watching lots of movies and hanging out as a family... Friday night we went with the Ramey's to the festival of tree's, we had a really good time looking at all the cool trees but there was WAY to many people but still fun. I think that we might need to make it a tradition and go every year.,,, I finally got our tree up and decorated after 5 days... 9 feet is a little intimidating when its all put together,,,, And we finally got some snow at our house on Monday which really made it seem like Christmas time but to bad for us it melted by that night... Hadley had her first doc apt. and is doing great, she's growing and gaining weight..


Finally i have to send a big thank you to Jena and my Aunt Cokie for getting my most favorite blanket finished and in my hands,,, i love it!!!! it turned out better then i thought it would.... so thank you

Best Daddy ever!!!!

I have to say that Hadley lucked out when she got Ben for a dad.... He loves her so much and can't get enough of her! no matter what time it is, what he's doing, or what he needs to do if she's around he has to hold her.. If i have her he wants to take her from me and if she's not being held well that's no good,,, he has to pick her up.. she loves to hear his voice all ready and when she does she calms down or looks around to find him ( yes i know she can't really see him yet but she tries) i love him so much and am thankful that i have him here to help raise her.... we are the luckiest girls in the world!!!!

SHE'S HOME!!!!!

Well we are finally home and VERY happy about it... Hadley has been doing great and seems to love being home as much as Ben and I do... We love her so much and are so glad she has come to our little family... My mom has been so nice to volunteer to stay with us for a few days to help out.. so here are a few pictures of our little princess

SHE'S HERE! SHE'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey all, this is Kara's sister Lisa here, letting you all know that a baby GIRL was BORN this morning around 7:15 a.m. weighing 7 lbs 4 oz. (i don't remember how long she is- sorry!!!!) She came VERY fast, and upon arrival, ruptured her mama's cervix in 3 places!!!!! yeah- the pain!!!! Kara's doing great, Ben's doing great, and..................

HADLEY MARIE

IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

She's got a FULL HEAD of gorgous brown HAIR, a perfect little baby nose, and baby mouth, and sweetest lil chin.

we love her!!!!!

we love Kara and Ben!

it's hard to tell, but this girly is definitely Kara's- she's sucking her finger- no, it's not the exact 2 Kara sucked until she was 20, but it's begun!!!!!!!

proud Daddy
the new family a la Jensenkisses on perfect cheeks
when I took the lil beanie off to look at her locks, Conli said, "oh man, I really wanted Hagleigh to have pink hair." (no, the haGleigh, is not a typo- that's how she says it.)
Max could've held her all day. YEAH for cousins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh the Joy's of pregnancy

Yesterday morning i woke up to two things... number one-- Ben was gone for work already, there has not been a day since he started this job that i haven't woke up when either his alarm went off, he got in the shower, or when he leaves. But yesterday i rolled over and he was gone, then i looked at the clock (8:00) and thought how nice it was but i wanted to go back to sleep,- having no job is boring-- after 20 minutes or so i couldn't fall back to sleep and number two- i noticed my VERY active child wasn't being so active but shrugged it off and got up to go eat breakfast... as i sat and ate and watched a little news she still wasn't moving- this is not normal-- she is ALWAYS moving.. so i waited a little while longer, still no movement and so i drank a little pop to see if that would wake her up.... after an hour or so i started to get really scared so i called my doc and asked her what she thought,,, come on down she told me... oh yeah on all days, Ben was suppose to be going to Logan for court but instead he came home and went to the hospital with me.. we got there and got me all hooked up... the nurse said she looked great strong heart beat with lots of spikes and very receptive to my movements and pushes on my stomach but they wanted to monitor me for a half an hour anyways YEAH for me. the doc told her since i was 38 weeks and having contractions (which i had been having for 4 days) that she should check me... i was dilated to a 3 and 90% effaced but my contractions weren't strong enough to make it worth me staying there... so i have been home now for 2 days having painful contractions but not painful enough to help my child be born....

oh i LOVE being pregnant...
