April 2009

Well Morgan will be 3 months on the 18th of this month. Oh man how time flies!! It seems like a few days ago when i had her. She is really starting to develop her own personality. Although she takes after me in many aspects. We have started to realize that she is left handed and hates doing something if that's not what she feels like doing at that point. She hates laying on her stomach, she is def. a morning person, she will sit in her crib and laugh at 3 in the morning if she happens to wake up. She hates being woke up if you wake her up she is grumpy, but if she wakes up on her own she is the happiest baby in the world.

March 2009.

Morgan is finally 2 months. Kyle and I are happy as heck with our little baby girl!! She is so freakin' smart. we love it! At her Dr.'s appt. she is 11 pounds 14 oz and 24 inches long. She focuses on things like you wouldn't believe. She talks to anyone or anything that will listen. She hates laying down.. She would rather sit up and watch tv or play. We sit her up and she will actually sit and watch an entire movie with us. She is at the point now that she is awake most of the day and to get her to take a nap is def. a challenge. She sleeps through the entire night now.
Kyle and I have both been laid off from our jobs. We are living off what we have pretty much right now but both looking. We have been through many challenges in life but i think that if we make it though these challenges that have been thrown at us, we can make it through anything. Life throws many different challenges to everyone but the challenges aren't anything that we can't handle.

February 2009

We have been parents for a month now.. Morgan is one month old and happy as can be. She already using her legs to move her. Up until now we tried everything to get her to sleep through the night but we finally mastered it... the secret is bathtime right before bed and then feed them. it works wonders the bath calms them then the food makes them fall asleep. The first night of doing that she slept till 4 the next morning! It was fabulous!!! She is already laughing and smiling and actually staying awake for a few hours at a time. I would say she i a little advanced for her months. LOL. She had her 1 month dr.'s appt. and he was actually suprised. We got lucky she didn't have jaundice or anything. Being a parent is everything everyone has ever said and more!!

Labor and Delivery...

My original due date was January 17th, 2009. My water broke the morning of the 17th at 6:15 AM. I was actually scheduled to be induced that morning. Kyle took me to the hospital that morning and since my water had broke they didn't have to induce me (thank goodness).!! I wasn't having any contractions so they had me walk the halls like a million times... Then they gave me the potosin to try to speed things along. Although it didn't speed anything along. I didn't start feeling anything till like 4 that evening. Thats when i had them give me the epidural (by the way i would recommend the epidural to EVERYONE!), then even at that point I was only feeling the little contractions not the big ones. Once a friend who is a massage therepist came in and started massaging my feet and my sides is when my labor really started. At that point the nurse swas checking me quite frequently and finally after quite a long time i was finally dialated to a 10 or so the nurse thought. She said that the baby was facing the right direction and that i was dialated far enough so she had me start pushing. I was pushing for about 20 min or longer when Dr. Tindall came in and got pissed cause I was already pushing the baby was sunny side up and i also wasn't dialated far enough. He went on a rampage pretty much. At that point I started throwing up and it was intense enough they thought it was going to cause me to deliver the baby. Finally Dr. Tindall came in and i was dialated far enough and it was time to push. All I really remember from that cause i was so tired was in between pushing Dr. Tindall was talking about how he came to be a doctor, pushing took forever, and I was falling asleep. They kept having to wake me up to push cause I was so tired. Finally she was out @ 1:59 AM on January 18th, 2009. She was 8 pounds 6 ounces and 20 inches long. Dr. Tindall put her in my arms and it was LOVE instantly. My baby girl was finally here and wiggly and alert as ever. Dr. Tindall said he has never seen such an alert baby just born.

The Beginning...

Kyle and I got together August 23rd,2008. I was 4 months pregnant. He was on a wildland fire in Nevada and I had just moved home the month before from my soon to be ex husbands house. I found out that i was having a baby girl on August 29th, 2008. Kyle and I were going back and forth between 2 names either Tylar Rianne or Morgan Rianne. We ultimately decided on Morgan Rianne. We got an apartment together September 9th, 2008. Even though Morgan is not his... he went to every Dr. appt. with me that he possibly could, he helped me pick out her name and he put up with getting no sleep. LOL. right before we moved in together Kyle's grandpa passed away which brought us closer together cause he learned the true value of life. As the pregnancy progressed I just kept getting bigger and bigger and grouchier and grouchier. Kyle stuck with me through all of it. Kyle worked as a firefighter/EMT for White Mountain Lake Fire District, and I worked at Snowflake Medical Center in the billing Dept.. On Christmas Day Kyle did something that no one thought that he would ever do. He proposed to me. He sent me on a treasure hunt through his moms house to find my ring. It took me about an hour to find the dang thing. LOL. To be honest I was getting really upset... I'm not one that really likes suprises. And this was a definate suprise. But it was the best Christmas present i have ever received in my life!!
