Kimber 1 month

I can't believe my little girl is already growing so fast. I know a month doesn't seem like that long, but really the time sure does fly by. I love this little girl so much. I cannot believe how attached I have become to her. She really makes me smile and melts my heart. I feel like I have already known her for years and I can't imagine life without her.
She has already gained over 3lbs and grown an inch so to me she looks bigger everyday. She is still so little though. She is a happy baby as you can see from the picture. She loves to eat! We are having chats about being patient and not being so high maintenance when it comes to meal time. :)
She is having some reflux issues still so she sleeps propt up in her bassinet and I have to burp her like crazy and keep her upright after she eats for awhile. Her spit up has gotten less since I have been doing this. It makes me sad to see her hurt when her tummy is gassy and hurting. :(
She truly is a sweetheart! We love her!

Kimber Elizabeth Robson

Kimber was born April 7, 2010 at 1:05am. She weighed 6lbs, 11oz, 19 inches long. I was induced on the April 6th and after 15 hours of labor she finally arrived.

My labor was actually quite fabulous, I was a little nervous to be induced because everyone said that the pitocin makes your contractions stronger, and since I have never experienced labor before it kinda scared me. I didn't think it was that bad at all. I waited to get my epidural until I was about 5cm and after I had the drugs I was in heaven! Bless you epidural! I dialated from a 5 to a 8 in about an hour and then to a 10 and hour later. My lovely nurse let me sleep an hour before I started pushing which was nice...bless his heart too. Yes, HIS heart, I was so embarrased to have a male nurse when he first walked in, but he was my favorite nurse I had that day and he helped so much. I was hoping to have her before midnight so she could share a birthday with the Savior and the Church but she wasn't quite ready to come before midnight. :)

Kimber is a great baby. She eats like a pig, she sleeps almost all night and is awake most of the day with some naps here and there. I really don't think I know of a newborn who is awake as much as her, luckily she just chills though. She does have a fussy time of day. It hits at 7pm on the dot and lasts for about 2 hours. Her tummy hurts during that time. I have her on gripe water and that seems to help.

She has a fun personality and smiles a lot in her sleep. I like to watch her. I think she looks like Randy, but sometimes I think she does faces that look like me. She is beautiful! We love our baby girl and we are so happy she is here!

Baby Bump at 8 months!

FINALLY I know! (no laughing, or pointing fingers)! haha. I can't believe this has taken me over 3 months to do this. I am so sorry. Now, I am over 8 months along!!

I am feeling very good. I have loved being pregnant! Of course, I have had my complaints of aches and pains but for the most part, I could do this over and over again (if I feel this good every time). And I have only gained 12 lbs! Actually, 12 lbs from my doctors scale and 8 lbs from mine- I'll go with my scale. :) I think I owe all that to my morning walks. I have been having some Braxton Hicks lately that are making my body sore, especially my back. Oh please oh please don't let me have back labor! Ouch! I am now starting to go to the Doctor every week for those lovely exams every mother just loves! :)

Randy and I completed 4 birthing classes and a breast feeding class. I am so glad we did both of them. Now, we will be champs right? ha! :) I have to say that I am honestly more nervous to breast feed than give birth. Please send me some positive vibes for breast feeding. I am sure it will be fine. I don't know why I am so nervous about it.

I survived two baby showers and thank everyone SO much who came and helped us out and gave us SO much cute stuff! Our nursery is almost done, just doing the finishing touches. Yay, we are excited! We can't wait to see this little girl we already LOVE so much! We haven't decided on a name yet. We have our list of 5, but will name her after we see her.

ONE MORE MONTH!

My top 5 reasons I enjoy being pregnant.....

1. I love feeling her kick, love it, love it, love it. It is such a reasuring feeling to feel that. It's our "little secret" and I can just picture those tiny limbs of hers kicking me. LOVE IT!

2. My sweet husband is so kind to me and pampers me with foot rubs, back rubs and tickles almost nightly! And, he hardly ever complains and does it for a LONG time. It is so nice to have him do that and feel relaxed. Thank you Randy-you really are the best!

3. I am finally showing enough to have people ask when I am due and not just think I "eat everything" and getting big for nothing! (with this being said, baby bump pics to come soon, I promise) I just need Randy to take some of me.

4. This is the only time in my entire life, let me repeat, "my entire life" a doctor has told me to "pig out" over the holiday season because I have only put on 2 lbs. I seriously don't know how I am doing it, too me I seriously feel like I eat tons and I look perfectly plump! I think its because I started way heavier than I wanted too so I am just growing because of the baby. If I ever decided to do the HCG diet I guess it would work for me. Thank you pregnancy hormones..... I feel the weight packing on soon though. :)

5. I can take a nap everyday if I want and I almost do everyday. Boy, do I love those afternoon naps!

I look forward to just over 3 months when I can hold our sweet little princess. I daydream about her all day. What will she look like? What will her sense of humor be like? etc. It makes all the uncomfortable sleepless nights, throwing up, trips to pee, clothes getting snug, restless legs, backaches and "cankles" worth it. (by the way I love that word "cankles", its so funny) They are not attractive though! I love this little girl already!

Drum roll..........

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!! Haha, I think it is so funny because this whole time I have been almost positive it was a boy. We were a bit shocked to hear it will be a girl, but super excited of course. Now, what to name her? I had my boy name. I am excited to shop for a girl though!
I was at Target yesterday and there's a whole bunch of cute stuff for girls compared to boy stuff. Yay for girls!
I am excited for Randy to have a girl, I think he's been in shock because he really hoped for a boy, he'll LOVE his little girl though. I know he will be smitten!
Happy Birthday to Randy today too!!

oh boy, or girl...

We find out in a few days what we are having. We are so excited! This whole time I have been thinking, "feeling" it will be a boy. Randy hopes for a boy too, although I think a girl would melt his heart. I guess we'll find out the real truth soon. Yay! Any guesses on what we are having?
I am starting to feel way better now, I haven't thrown up since my first trimester, and my happiest update is I have only gained 1 pound so far. Yes, I do understand I have 20 more weeks to go though. :) The nurse was pretty proud of me. Well, we'll let you know when we know.

Latest happenings in our world...

I am so mad at myself that I never carry a camera around with me! Why can't I be like my friend Holli who can't go a minute without snapping a shot of something (it would bug me in high school), but that talent needs to be passed down to me now. :) I have never liked to be in pictures so maybe that's why I don't carry one around with me. I'll do better about that so these posts aren't so boring. Here's the lastest with us...

Everyone join together and sing, "Hallelujah with me" we got released from nursery yesterday! Oh my gosh, I wanted to cry when we walked out of the Church building. :) It was a fun calling, I was just more than ready to be done. Maybe we'll get Sunbeams next? We're movin on up.

Have you ever wanted to meet a "celebrity"? A few days ago my sister in law, Chelsea was able to open for Chuck Wicks (Country Singer) at the Queen Creek Performing Arts Center. Chelsea is doing a great job at getting herself out in public to get her music out there. She was invited to open for him and all I have to say is.....she rocked it! I was/am so proud of her! She even got a standing ovation on her last song that she wrote. It was super cool. Super proud of you Chels! Well, I guess you could say being related to someone who has the "hook ups" has it bonuses. The key is after the performance you tag along with that certain person, and things like hanging out on the tour bus and eating pizza with the star happens. I have never had that opportunity before. I don't know if any of you know Chuck Wicks, but he's becoming big with his music, he has a few single hits on the radio, he toured with Brad Paisley last year and he was on Dancing with the Stars with his girlfriend Julianne Hough this past season. Yeah, he's a cutie! It was neat to meet him, but I have to say, being on a tour bus like that was my highlight. Seriously! It was funny because I kept looking around while everyone was talking and he kept asking me if I was bored. Kinda random, but no Chuck I am actually enjoying your bus! :) We were able to chat for awhile and then we went to a VIP Chic-fil-a party with him and his band. They were all really nice. Do I have pictures to show proof? No, I don't, so this story could just be made up. Haha. Thanks to Chelsea we will be able to get our niche in Hollywood. (Chelsea has pictues to prove this)

Last but not least. I have told some of you, but some don't know. Randy and I are expecting! I am due April 2nd. I had my first ultrasound about 3 weeks ago. I have to say it was one of the best experiences in my life to actually see the baby move and see that there was actually a baby inside me. I was touched. I will find out what the gender is in about 4 weeks. I have been really sick, I don't think I have ever thrown up so much in my life! I could tell you some stories, but I will hold off on those. :) I never knew "morning sickness" lasted all day and night! Why the heck do they call it "morning sickness"? Who came up with that phrase? A man I know it! :) Now that I am passed my first trimester I am starting to feel better. We are super excited. Thanks to all for your well wishes.
