New Addition and More...

The morning of Friday, August 12, 2011, I was induced by that night at 10:18pm the newest addition had arrived. He was born at 7 lbs, 13 oz, and 20 inches long. Labor and delivery went well. I am so glad that my mom was there with me during labor and my sweet husband was with me through labor and delivery.

Nana and Kaleb

Because of Kaleb being born late on August 12, we had to stay at the hospital until August 14th which by passes Adam's 25th birthday on August 13. Since we were at the hospital we celebrated his birthday when we got home on Sunday. My mom made him a cake and dinner.

Moving along to August 20, 2011, Adam's and mine 1st anniversary. We went out as a family during the day (mom, me, Adam, and Kaleb), and later that night Adam and I went to Olive Garden by ourselves while my mom/ Nana watched Kaleb at home. I loved the time alone with my honey, but I couldn't stop thinking about my baby that was only a week old when I left him the first time. 

My mom was here in Rexburg with us for 2 weeks. In this time we went out several times before Kaleb was born and afterwards. We ran errands, we walked to the school to show mom the new additions, we went to monkey rock, we went to Deseret Book Store, we bought Kaleb's blessing outfit, we went bowling at Fatcats, we went miniature golfing, out to eat a few times, got snow cones, went to Kiwi Loco, went to the library, and the fair, we gave Kaleb his first bath, and went to the duck ponds and etc.

Our First Vacation

Adam and I had the pleasure of taking our first mini vacation 4th of July weekend. 

July 2 - Saturday morning we left early heading to Salt Lake City, Utah. When we finally got there we started looking at sights immediately. Later that night it took us 45 minutes to find Golden Corral which we finally got to and I wasn't even excited to eat there anymore. I was too hungry to care where we went. Then we asked the waitress directions to get back so we wouldn't get lost again...that didn't help. It took us 30 minutes to get back to the hotel. 

July 3 - Sunday we stayed at the hotel all day because it's Sunday and all the sites are closed. We watched enjoyed having tv because we don't have it here at home. We went to Wendy's for dinner. 

July 4 - Saturday we headed out for more sights. We had a blast. We then headed back to Idaho Falls for the firework show that was supposed to be the best on this side of the Mississippi river! It was awesome! I haven't seen a firework show that cool ever! While waiting for the firework show to start we laid in the grass talking, people watching, and playing UNO. It took us a long time to get home because traffic and because we were told to go another way which would take us away from traffic but it was weird, lots of constructions, and a longer route. Oh well. We finally did make it home at 12:00am. 

We had a blast. It's back to school. Ugh...only 3 more weeks left! 

One Small Gesture

Today was a bad day. A lot on my mind and being pregnant made it emotional. My wonderful husband, Adam, didn't know what was wrong but he held me tight and wouldn't let go. He showered me with hugs and kisses. I then had to go off to work. When I came home I gave him a small kiss, went to the bathroom for the millionth time today and started on dinner. He stared at me and mentioned I hadn't noticed yet. Noticed what? I then looked around my small apartment, everything looked the same. 

THEN I noticed a BeAuTiFuL red rose sitting on my table. My sweet Adam then came over and hugged me and gave me a kiss. This small gesture of buying me a rose made all my troubles wash away and it became a GOOD day.

I truly do LOVE Adam Harrison Patton!

ANY SUGGESTIONS?!

Here lately I have been getting little sleep. Last night I got approximately 1 hour of sleep. I can't get comfy, pillows don't work, and my son that isn't even born yet likes to keep mommy awake! Not to mention this is affecting my dear husbands sleep. Adam is so great that he rubs my back and holds me close even if it is 3:30am. If ANYBODY has ANY suggestions please let me know. Otherwise I'm going to ask my doctor for sleeping pills on Monday because if this doesn't get fixed I am going to become a dead and grumpy zombie walking! No wants that. It will be a long 9 weeks if it doesn't get fixed.

2 DOWN, 1 TO GO

We have officially reached the 3RD TRIMESTER this past Thursday! Only 11 weeks and 2 days to go and Kaleb Harrison Patton will be brought into this world! Adam and I are slowly but surely getting ready for his arrival. We have bought most of the big things that Kaleb will need once arrived: car seat, stroller, pack n play, swing, bouncer, and we have 3 boxes of diapers. 1 box for newborn, size 1 and size 2. We have a few clothes from Grandma Patton and Aunt Selena. I'm hoping that the last couple of months go by quickly. I'm ready to meet my son.  <3

Happy Mom's Day!

I am so blessed with having such a wonderful mom! My mom has always been my role model and still is, and probably will be for all eternity. My mom is the most loveable, adorable, beautiful, kindest, loving, compassionate, funnest person I have ever known! She is so much more than all that even so. 

My beautiful mama on the right!

I love her very much! 

I can't wait for August to come around so I can see her!

Love you mama!
