Catch up time

So I am the world's worst blogger in the world. It's funny because I am always drafting a blog post in my mind as I go thoughout the day, but I never actually make it to the computer to write anything down which is terrible. I'm going to try to prime the pump and just write something today so that it will encourage me to write again soon.

A big thing happened since last time I blogged... I started couponing among other things! I feel way awesome for doing it. Ok but that's actually pretty small in comparison to having a baby which really is the exciting thing of my life really. She has changed everything and its amazing.

Just for a catch-up here are some pregnant pictures:


And because I am really bad I don't have very many. I wanted to be awesome like Venna and take a picture every week to see how it progressed, but then I was too lazy to get in the same outfit every week and take a picture. So this is me in the beginning and the date on the picture is January so I guess it was when I was about 4 or 5 months along. (I had the hardest time telling people how far along I was in months. Way too confusing for me. Technically there are 40 weeks of pregnancy which would equal 10 months but the first 4 weeks don't really count. Then you get these print outs at the doctor that say you are in your 4th month or whatever and it really means that you are 3 months along. So confusing and I might still have it wrong. I was so happy when I could just tell people how many weeks left. That was much easier.)


This is when I had three weeks until my due date and 4 weeks until she was born.


And this is Jared and I when we were going to the hospital. Really weird. Ok no I just like this picture.

I feel very fortunate with how the pregnancy went. I didn't get sick, I didn't have any complications, I wasn't too uncomfortable and she came out healthy. My only really weird thing was that my eye sight became really bad. It was making me nervous because I had lasik surgery not too long ago so to have my eyes go bad was a terrible thing. I was thinking that I needed to get glasses again, but I read in the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" book and it mentioned in there that some people's eyes get bad during pregnancy and then return to normal afterwards. I breathed a sigh of relief when I read that, but I talked to a few ladies who told me their eyesight didn't get better. How bizarre huh? I think mine are getting better slowly because I could actually see the numbers for the hymns in sacrament meeting last week which was such a luxury. Seriously my eyes were so bad that I almost thought it was scary to drive, but I did it anyway and somehow everyone and everything survived.

Finally the main event. Our sweet little baby Londyn Rose Garns. She was 8.7 lbs and 20 inches long. I could not believe it when they told me that was how much she weighed. So crazy that a baby that big was hanging out it my stomach.
I like this because it shows off her little mullet in the back. It's so thick at her neck and right on top. Very stylish.

She just looks so helpless and smooshed in this so I had to include it.

Here's the Fam that night she was born.

She's 3 days old here. She loves having her arms up.

This is when she was 4 days old.

Here she is 10 days old. I love that I caught this on camera.

And this is that same day. She's just hanging out on her changing pad which she loves and makes sure that she lets out her rockets there. Just putting her on that pad makes her go. It's pretty amazing. Everytime she does go we always congratulate her and tell her good job which I never quite feel as encouraged and rewarded in my experiences.

I'll put up more pictures of her later. She's such a cute little bundle. We love her.
