I would like to blame social media for my lack of blogging! I'm always on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest instead of on here. BUT I'm back and will try to be better!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Life Update: We are now living in Amarillo, TX for the summer. Kristian is doing a internship/research here. He is in the last semester his 2nd year of a 4 year Doctorate program. In August we will be moving to Houston so he can continue with his 3rd year. Half way done, WOO! I am nannying 3 days a week for a family here in town and getting to spend all my time with our crazy boy! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of Beckett, He is getting SO big and growing TOO fast! He is pulling up on everything and eating everything! He is a wild man! He hates to be held and crawls on one knee and his other foot, it is so funny! Beckett is super loud and jibber jabbers on and on.. He says "da da da da da". Kris thinks it is directed at him but it is not! We couldn't love our little man anymore.. if you can't tell!?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In May, Becks got to met his cousin Mason in SLC

He rolls over now as soon as he is on the ground, loves to stick his fists in his mouth, babbles non-stop, and is an all around happy little guy who loves attention.

It is only 2 hours from us here in Beaumont. The day was pretty foggy but it was a warm 60 degrees and we enjoyed as much as we could. We went to the beach but did not get in the water or even close to it really. We had such a fun day though just getting away. We have to take advantage of our time while we are down here in SE Texas.</div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6CPs5z6NQuI/Ty8PzJ6dkLI/AAAAAAAAAtE/0en_uHfikTo/s400/DSC00729.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705796624410579122" /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DwsAKdnwiLg/Ty8Py71ayBI/AAAAAAAAAs4/u_s50gE5p1U/s1600/DSC00713.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

I'm back at work full-time and Kristian is back in school full-time. He goes to North Houston 2 days a week for clinical rotations and I close 2 nights a week at work. Needless to say we barely see each other and it is an evil game of pass the baby. Luckily, Beckett is great and doesn't seam to mind all the shuffle.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">He is 3 months old now and starting to be more active. He loves to stand up all the time while we are holding him. He gives smiles out like they are candy. And he is also talking tons!! Which is what this video is of.. We love him SO much! It is the highlight of my day when I get to go pick him up!</div><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MTf-dIj5aoI/TyIbp-PDeEI/AAAAAAAAArM/xKC0m5oKEPQ/s1600/DSC00662.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MTf-dIj5aoI/TyIbp-PDeEI/AAAAAAAAArM/xKC0m5oKEPQ/s400/DSC00662.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702150486099195970" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"></div>ash+krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13624073720497433679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743917769544963470.post-28651011065519089022011-12-06T18:14:00.000-08:002011-12-06T18:55:29.474-08:00Ugly Sweaters and Toupees<div style="text-align: center;">Not a lot has changed around here. I'm still on maternity leave and spending all day with my baby boy. AND I'm still obsessed with him. I think it gets worse daily! Time is flying by and I am not ready to go back to work at the first of January. I would stay home if I could. Funny thing is I thought I would have SO much free time not working and get SO much stuff done. NOT, between Beckett eating and me pumping it takes a lot of our day away. Here is a catch up of what we've been up to the last couple weeks besides those two things. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Beckett was SO tired from playing..</div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IW7Jo3mPvys/Tt7OhX3uX5I/AAAAAAAAAp4/k6j6b_pvg_E/s1600/DSC00369.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IW7Jo3mPvys/Tt7OhX3uX5I/AAAAAAAAAp4/k6j6b_pvg_E/s400/DSC00369.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683206852526890898" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">His first time in his bumbo..

They were asked to speak to the Audiology program students at Lamar, where Kris attends. For those of you who don't know his dad, Kerry, is an Audiologist in Amarillo and his mom, Nancy, is the office manager. This was Kerry's second time speaking and Nancy's first. From what I hear they did great! I'm sure they will be back next year!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Friday night was the Audiology program's Christmas party.

Is it weird it seems like longer?!? He is growing everyday, he weighed 10lbs a couple days ago at the doctor so I'm sure he weighs more now! He is a great baby and we are so blessed. I would like him to sleep a little longer at a time but I'm sure he will figure that out soon. He had a 4 hour sleep last night from 12am-4, it was amazing. I'm guessing it's because we finally got him some good reflux medicine that allows him to relax. Beckett likes to sleep on mommy and daddy, in his bouncer, and on his bobby but not in his crib. He makes the cutest noises when he is eating. He likes his diaper changed but hates when you change his clothes. He also grabs my hair whenever he can.. I find it all over him all the time. We just love our little man! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you can't tell already.. I'm one obsessed mommy so don't mind the picture overload..

When we left the hospital he weighed 6lbs 11oz. A week and a half later, mommy's big boy weighed 8lbs 4oz and grew 1.5 inches! It is SO crazy that he had gotten that much bigger! He doesn't fit in any of his newborn clothes anymore. I'm so glad he is thriving. He is also doing lots of other big boy things.

He weighed 6lbs 15 oz. and was 19in long. Here is the story of how he came to join our little family..</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On Saturday I tons of lower back pain and was not able to walk more than a couple minutes at a time. I thought it was just the pressure from the baby dropping because he hadn't dropped yet. Well I guess it was because that night around 9pm I started having contractions. This was a normal thing during the whole last week though so we started timing them, they were 12 minutes apart. At 11pm they were 10 minutes apart but I was in SO much pain! I decided to lay in our bed because it was closer to the bathroom and my stomach was not feeling good. By 11:30pm they were 6-7 minutes apart and I had Kris packing my hospital bag as I lay on the bed instructing him.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">At 11:45pm we left the house for the hospital, my contractions were 5 minutes apart and I was sure this baby was about to shoot out of me. We called our parents on the way and told them this baby was coming! We drive up to the hospital and out of pride I do not let Kris drop me off. Since it was late though the main hospital entrance was closed and we had to walk around to the ER entrance, uhhhh! When we finally made it to labor and delivery after our half mile walk, I could barely talk to the nurses as they start to weigh me and hook me up to the machines. They finally check me and I just know I was ready for my epidural.. NOT.. I was a 2! A 2.. are you kidding me?!? They tell me that I have 2 hours to progress or they are sending me home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">As the 2 hours pass, I kept contracting every 5 minutes. Every time I contract though I am throwing up at the same time and gripping the side of the hospital bed. My husband was awesome and would hold the container for me, he thought I was dying and you could see the stress on his face. He told me it was more a feeling of helplessness. Luckily after 2 hours of this every 5 minutes they check me again, I'm a 4! WOOO! They admit me and get they get on the phone with the on call doctor (which was not my doctor.) Fortunately, I had been given special permission from MY doctor to call him at home if he was not on call. Kris and I decided to wait though until I was closer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When we get admitted they moved me to my own room to moan in, Yah! The poor people on the other side of the curtain from us probably thought I was dying and being over dramatic. I was not screaming, by any means, but I did not make light of the fact that I was IN pain and IN labor. The nurses kept telling me to breath but I swear it made me feel better to moan loudly.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In our room the nurse put me on some pain medicine through my IV and I also got me a shot in the hip so I would stop throwing up with every contraction. The pain medicine did not work though, I could still feel the pain and I was still moaning. At 6 am the nurse checked me again and I was a 5, they said I needed to be a 6 before an epidural. She called the doctor though and got special permission to give me one. 6:30am came and I got my epidural.. Ahhhhh.. SO much better!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">7:00am, we got a new nurse, her name was Brooke and we loved her! She was amazing! We told her that my Doctor had told us to call him and she told us to go ahead and do it. Kris called him at home and he said he would be there in an hour! We are so grateful to him for being willing to be there for us. I can't imagine anyone else delivering my baby. 8:15am my doctor gets there, he checks me, and I'm a 6, but I have stopped contracting because my epidural has relaxed me so much. The nurse starts Pitocin and he breaks my water. After 15 minutes though they pull me off the Pitocin because my body is taking care of the contractions by it's self again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">At 10:15am I was dilated to a 10, time to push! Our nurse Brooke starts coaching me through pushing and breathing. With every push our little man's head kept crowning and then going back in. Finally, Brooke calls the doctor to come back in. He walks in the room, looks at me and says, "if your having a contraction, don't push!" Beckett was ready to greet the world. Then with the next contraction I gave it all I had.

Kris and I both started crying from relief, excitement, and an overwhelming feeling of peace. Just thinking about it now is bringing back those same feelings.

And the truth is it's because we are boring aka super busy with boring stuff. This pic above was taken at 24 weeks. I'm 27 and a half now. Getting excited to enter the 3rd trimester on Sunday! We will be moving next weekend to a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom town home to make room for our little boy coming in less than 3 months. I'm SO excited to have an extra room so I can start setting it up his stuff. We have bought nothing besides diapers and a couple outfits for him b/c we have NO room right now. Going from 630 sq feet to 1100 is going to be awesome!<br /><br />Kris is in his 2nd summer semester with school and it is kicking his booty! He still has a 4.0 but cramming in all that info, along with being the hearing aid specialist at Sears 20 hours a week, is a lot to fit in. I'm am so proud of him and his sacrifices he makes for our family. I'm one lucky girl.<br /><br />I have been working on average 50 hours a week at Buckle. My manager was out of town for meetings and took a week of vacation so I got to feel the pressure and responsibility of a 3 million dollar business. No thank you. She can keep her job. There is so much to do and I can never get it all done. I do have to say though that is always something new everyday and I'm thankful for the management experience that now where else can teach.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">We are excited for upcoming events that I promise will produce more photos. Moving next weekend and my Amarillo baby shower in 3 weeks. Stay tuned!<br /></span><br /></div>ash+krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13624073720497433679noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743917769544963470.post-82849195700956029042011-05-24T16:40:00.000-07:002011-05-24T17:12:04.498-07:00IT'S A.....<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333FF;"><b>BOY!!!!!</b></span></span></span><div>You can definitely tell it's a boy!

I don't want to buy anything with out a coupon now and have definitely caught the bug! . I only had one coupon for each of these so it looks like my next hurdle is figuring out how to collect more Sunday papers.. If you don't use yours feel free to send it my way!</div>ash+krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13624073720497433679noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743917769544963470.post-35408504114731122762011-05-15T17:47:00.000-07:002011-05-15T20:10:24.803-07:00The Burp..<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">I will be 17 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I have to share this story.

Well, we couldn't find one so we decided to look at all the huge homes in the neighborhood we found. BUT I guess all the turning around and U-turns got to me because I started feeling nauseous.

And then it happened...</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;">I burped and threw up ALL over myself!!!</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:verdana;">In my hair, all in my lap, all over my hand and face too because I tried to catch it.
