Ada Beth

Tonight I logged onto our blog to think about starting it up again and the last post I was working on was Ada's birth story... And now we already have another little one and another birth story to write about. Time is flying and again see the need and importance of keeping some sort of record of events in our lives.

Sunday January 26th, 2014

We had just finished packing our hospital bags for our baby girl to arrive Tuesday the 28th when I would be induced and Quinn and I were resting on the couch around 9:30 pm after a long day. Our baby girl always got the hiccups, so when they started again I didn't think anything of it. The hiccups were still going and right as I was about to tell Quinn to try and feel them... My water broke! I was suddenly sent into a panic. I couldn't remember what to do. Is this something that we need to go to the hospital? Quinn assured me it was but of course I needed confirmation from the nurse at Logan Regional Hospital. We had our bags pack and we headed off to the hospital only a few blocks away.

I wasn't contracting.. yet! So they started pictocin. The monitors didn't pick up my contractions so they kept upping the dose. Finally the nurse check and I was dilated and soon would be ready. My doctor wasn't to be in until the morning so tried to hold things off until he would arrive. After an epidural I was feeling (briefly) okay with waiting. He arrived.

 And shortly after our girl did too!!!

My favorite picture of dad and daughter.

 She could hold her head up pretty well the day she was born!

 Heading home from the hospital, She was so tiny, especially in her car seat!

 First time in her crib.

Although she slept for the first couple months in a cradle next to our bed

 Great Grandpa and Ada

Happy Valentines Day! :)

Getting so strong!

Great Grandpa, Grandpa, Dad, and Ada

Morning walks in the stroller

We take so many pictures it's hard to pick just a few! But we can't help it she's so adorable and we don't want to forget any of these precious moments!

2014 Another Year and Even More Adventures!

Holy guacamole! So it's only been almost 2 years since we have written on this blog!
We have been posting on Facebook a lot instead, if you haven't noticed just  a few pictures here and there ;)
So here is a quick recap of what we have been up to!

We are always doing school work. But thankfully Quinn only has 2 more semesters! Woop!

We love Charlie! This is him at our apartment by Adam's Park in Logan, UT.

Hiking while we were living in Smithfield, UT.

We went to a One Republic concert with my sister, Emily and her friends. It was a blast and one of our last concerts for a while...

Seriously this place is BEAUTIFUL!

Quinn and I also started new jobs! I got a job at Macey's Pharmacy as a Pharmacy Technician and Quinn started working at Anderson's Seen and Garden in downtown Logan!

On June 19th 2014 we found out about an addition to our family!

I had been sick for a few days and thought I had the flu because a couple weeks before I took a test thinking I might have been pregnant and it was negative. So I waited a couple days thinking this "bug" would pass. Finally I took another test and sure enough I was pregnant. We went to the doctor to confirm it :) We were definitely not expecting this adventure quite yet, but we are grateful!

Of course we went to a few Jazz things for Quinn. Love you babe... So much! Haha.

We announced the pregnancy to the world!

(2nd Trimester)

We are surrounded by beauty here.

Almost Halfway!

Our Baby Girl!

Gender Ultra Sound

Unfortunately, my TTP (Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) started to make the pregnancy complicated. So I had to go down to the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, UT every other week. Thankfully I had a great support system! :)

22 weeks

Family Shot! 

25 Weeks

"It's beginning to look like Christmas!"

Logan Canyon, December.

We have been working on our little girl's room and finally made something crafty for it!

Late December and I was 33 weeks along in this adventure!

January 2015

We added a new addition to our family, Max!

We actually got him from a coworker at my work. He is a toy poodle mix and we sure do love this bundle of energy.

He was a great adventure to bring into our lives right before our next addition was due to come!

:) we have a soft spot in our heart for these creatures!

Happy Two Year Anniversary!!

We just keep growing more and more in love with each other! And keep leaning on one another for support through these amazing and difficult but rewarding adventures!

Another year to us, babe!
