The latest

They sure do change quickly! Right when I think I got our schedule figured out for eating and sleeping, something changes. Walker is finally putting on the weight and he is getting longer I swear everyday. He is way more alert now and his legs are sticking out straight more and more each day. He's smiling a ton and is starting to out grow the newborn clothes but the 0-3 mths are still big.

Mommy and Daddy are doing good, I think I am finally adjusting to getting sleep in spurts. All in all things are going good!

1-15-11 update

My life has definitely changed from eating whatever I wanted and from sleeping at night, to where now I can't eat dairy products or peanut butter and I only get sleep in increments now. But what can I say I love this little guy so it's totally worth it, except for I do love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (oh boo). Anyways, these pictures were taken today when Walker and I went on our first little walk together, I finally got to use our stroller, yeah!

Walker McKay Capell

Walker McKay Capell was born on Christmas Eve 2010 at 4:56 pm at Sutter Memorial Hospital in Sacramento California.

Eric and I went to the hospital on December 23 for a scheduled non stress test since Walker was over due (original due date was December 14th). During the testing the contractions weren't anything major and his heart rate was great, but when we went to check the amniotic fluid the nurse said that we weren't going home that they would start to induce today. We'll that was told to use around 1:30 but the induction didn't start till around 6. Once they started to induce it took a while, and I mean a while for the medicine to kick in but once it did, the ball got rolling. After an hour and half of hard manual labor little Walker was here. Eric and I couldn't be more happy with the way things have turned out and to make this day even better we found out that Eric was accepted to the University of Wyoming for Fall of 2011! YEAH! Merry Christmas to us right?

Relief Society Dinner

I do have to say our wards Relief Socitety Christmas dinner was amazing. We had great food, awesome decorations, fun entertainment and great people. On the menu for the day was: tri-tip, salad, baked potato, a roll and yummy cheesecake for dessert.

Pregnancy

To be completely honest this pregnancy has been really easy for me, except for a few minor bumps along the way, but really nothing to complain about. I started out this pregnancy, honestly not even believing that this was possibly true and that something would happen and I would miscarry. Well here we are 37 weeks into this and it has flew by. What has made this experience even better is that their are other friends of mine who are pregnant with me and we are all due around the same time. It is so nice to sit around and talk about things that you are experiencing and what others are going through because it makes you feel even more blessed that your pregnancy has gone so smoothly.

I found out we were pregnant while Eric was at work. I know I probably should of waited, but I have taken pregnancy test before and to me this was just like any other, it would come out negative. We'll obviously it didn't. Took one and didn't believe it, took another and I was like ok what do I do now. I waited for Eric to get home from work and as soon as he walked in I showed him the two test and he said "so what does this mean?", me "We'll umm babe were pregnant". To both of our disbelief we were so shocked and me being a little paranoid was like we can't tell anyone, so we waited a little over 3 months to tell people.

I haven't thrown up at all this whole pregnancy, as of my last appointment I have only put on 14 pounds (but i must say that I have lost some muscle), I haven't had any problem with swelling and I have been going to bed the same time Eric has been, but that's probably because I don't take naps during the day like I should, but I hate naps.

I can't believe this pregnancy is coming to an end and we will be starting our little family. The timing couldn't be more perfect for us. Eric and I were both able to finish school, we have more money in our savings, we're living in a great place that has great rent, and we also live in a very supportive ward where we have made such great friends.

I guess to say the least this is what I am thankful for this holiday season.

In the Mail

Today I got this hat in the mail. Eric wanted to get this for me for Christmas. So of course I had to try it on to make sure that it fits. I ordered it on Amazon for $1.99 and even better we used our swagbucks to pay for it!

Below is another surprise that came in the mail. I received a $10 gift card from Rite Aid. I guess I "spent" $25 in their store on certain products. But you know I actually didn't spend that much with the coupons and the register rewards I use. I was totally not expecting this. I just love getting things I do not expect, it makes it so much better. I can't wait to find some good deals to use this on!
