Trace and I had our first official mom and son date night! Dinner and a movie, minus the dinner (we ate at home)... okay, actually I just decided to take Trace for his first movie in the theater experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am happy to report, for 2 1/2 years old, he did great! </div>

Trace has 3 favorite blankets. A brown one, a green one and a yellow one. They are just baby blankets so I guess its a good thing he has more than one so they actually cover him up at night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He doesn't have to have his blankets all the time but if he does want them he wants all three. There is no leaving a blanket behind. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It actually works out perfect when he snuggles up next to Rylee on the floor to watch a movie- he has one blanket to share and two to keep for himself! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Rylee Marie Walter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Born November 24, 2011</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weight: 6 lbs 14 oz</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Height: 19 inches </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rylee decided to join us on Thanksgiving Day! <br />
Her entrance into the world was... quick! I guess I expected I would have more of a warning that it was time to head to the hospital (like when I had Trace). But this time we barley made it. We were getting ready to head over to M.Jay's for our Thanksgiving Feast when I started feeling contractions (1:00pm). I continued getting ready and was foolish enough to think I would still get to eat my Thanksgiving meal! But the contractions were coming too close together, so instead of heading south to Payson (M.Jay's place), we headed North to American Fork (our hospital). It was a pretty scary drive from then on and by the time I got to the hospital (3:15ish) I was fully dilated. Rylee was born at 3:49pm. It felt like a mad dash to get her here but once we got her everything has been nice and calm. So far she is a relaxed, easy going, sweet baby girl!</div>

But once Rylee came home with us he became very interested! For the most part he is dealing with the new addition very well. He loves to give her kisses!</div>

Ever since Trace turned mobile he has been interested in the TV stand and all the fun gadgets that go with it (DVD player, DVR, DVDs, stereo, etc.). Nate and I have been talking about getting a new entertainment center for awhile now to help baby proof the house. In the meantime however we attempted to put barriers in front of the TV to help keep Trace out! These worked for a little while. But obviously not anymore!! Trace is figuring out new ways to get around them (or over them!).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nBJPVumh4AM/Tax2XidLOGI/AAAAAAAAAEA/tMam6r0GCNo/s1600/100_1994.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nBJPVumh4AM/Tax2XidLOGI/AAAAAAAAAEA/tMam6r0GCNo/s320/100_1994.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596978583672928354" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-16CrVnko58Q/TayL-RlmdsI/AAAAAAAAAEI/Ud95uKF3oMQ/s1600/100_1995.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-16CrVnko58Q/TayL-RlmdsI/AAAAAAAAAEI/Ud95uKF3oMQ/s320/100_1995.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597002338903946946" border="0" /></a>Nate and Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00973500952175365798noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127940678127880264.post-6135641587109540292011-01-17T14:16:00.000-08:002011-01-17T21:55:14.685-08:00Half a year old!<div><div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JyvbToBkhUU/TTTC3VD4kgI/AAAAAAAAABc/3AtFyJlAYSQ/s1600/100_1894.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JyvbToBkhUU/TTTC3VD4kgI/AAAAAAAAABc/3AtFyJlAYSQ/s320/100_1894.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5563285695511433730" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Hello everyone!

">After Trace was born and we got to take a peek at him the nurse took him away because she concerned about his breathing, he wasn't keeping his good coloring. Nate went with them when they took him down to the NICU to check things out. I wasn't too concerned, just thought they needed to clear out his lungs and he would be alright but when Nate came back with a worried face I knew that wasn't the case.</div><div style="text-align: center; ">Turns out Trace had pneumonia and spent his first week of life in the NICU. This was a bit of a rollercoaster ride. He would look like he was getting better then something else would come up. Not to mention how stressful life in the NICU can be, on baby and parents. We had a strict schedule to follow. We didn't get to hold Trace much either, he was hooked up to so many tubes and monitors. I got to hold him more and more once they finally let me start feeding him. He eventually developed jaundice and had to be put on two sets of bili lights. That cleared up within a few days, the anitbotics they had started giving him was clearing out the infection in his lungs, and slowly they were able to take him off the oxygen. Things continued to get better and better and he even gained some weight! Turns out he was able to go home after he finished his antibiotics with no medication and no oxygen. We are so grateful he was able to pull through this like a champ!</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Room #2</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TEDpiDvd5qI/AAAAAAAAAtk/U0gsDqATgAA/s1600/Name+NICU+rm2.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TEDpiDvd5qI/AAAAAAAAAtk/U0gsDqATgAA/s320/Name+NICU+rm2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494648316721227426" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Trace's room!</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TEDoXYAip5I/AAAAAAAAAtc/SMY0kL4rJ1w/s1600/100_1436.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TEDoXYAip5I/AAAAAAAAAtc/SMY0kL4rJ1w/s320/100_1436.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494647033671362450" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Trace's information board- Trace is the BOSS!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TEDp0tHOiEI/AAAAAAAAAts/V-wb-j68y3o/s1600/Trace%27s+board+NICU.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TEDp0tHOiEI/AAAAAAAAAts/V-wb-j68y3o/s320/Trace%27s+board+NICU.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494648637064382530" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">So many tubes!

Sense I've been in Logan at school and Nate has been in Spanish Fork for work I decided to give him a call even though I wasn't sure if this was real thing or not. We started timing the contractions, they were about 8-10 minutes apart. The Dr. said wait until they are 3-5 minutes apart. Nate decided to jump in the car and come up anyways but we were both worried we were jumping the gun and that I might not even have the baby for another day or so. But to be on the safe side he headed up to Logan. </div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">I was schedule to give a presentation that morning in class, so I went ahead with my plans. When I got to class with my roommates (classmates) they arranged with the professor to make sure and let me and my partner do our presentation first. </div><div style="text-align: center; ">When she announced it to the rest of the class she said "we're going to let Emily and Tia go first because... well... Emily is in labor!" </div><div style="text-align: center; ">I'm sure they all thought I was crazy, but I really wanted to get as much school work done as I could before having the baby. So I stood up and said "I have no idea if I really am in labor but I I do know we only have 8-10 minutes to finish our presentation!" (With all the questions it ended up being much longer).</div><div style="text-align: center; ">That was probably the worst presentation I ever gave. I did feel some contractions but they weren't bad at all and we finished the presentation without incident! </div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">After Nate showed up and I finished wraping some things up with my professors, we went to get something to eat, picked something up from the bookstore then headed to my apt. I tried to take a nap, it had been a late night and an early morning so I was already tired. At about 3:00 that afternoon my water broke. This happened just as Nate ran out to get the laundry he had started. I was mad at him for not being around when I yelled for him, you know because it was all his fault!! :) So we rushed to the hospital. When we got there they took their time getting me checked in, of course. This was all new to me and though I may have looked calm I was kind of freaking out and didn't appreciate their lax attitude about getting me ready for this. Turns out I was already dilated to a 5 1/2. Once they figured this out they picked up the pace! </div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "> Trace was born later that evening at 9:45 pm!</div><div style="text-align: center; ">Weight: 6 lbs 7 ounces</div><div style="text-align: center; ">Height: 19 inches</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; ">Here are the proud and happy parents with the screaming and unhappy baby!</div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TD-AJIadLXI/AAAAAAAAAr0/byKk8YpbrL4/s1600/100_1412.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qeCgCTnc-3E/TD-AJIadLXI/AAAAAAAAAr0/byKk8YpbrL4/s320/100_1412.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494250964780920178" /></a>Nate & Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588498455723309409noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127940678127880264.post-45662948832194222832010-06-06T22:12:00.000-07:002010-06-06T22:51:30.594-07:00The small, temporary move!<div style="text-align: center;">School starts tomorrow!

So for now we'll just hope I can "survive" this summer- especially with a little one on the way!</div>Nate & Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588498455723309409noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-127940678127880264.post-29237176057456824562010-06-02T08:19:00.000-07:002010-06-02T09:17:12.442-07:00Memorial Camping<div style="text-align: center;">For memorial weekend we went camping with some friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;">There were 12 adults, 16 kids, 8 horses, 7 dogs, and 1 sheep! </div><div style="text-align: center;"> Yes... a sheep!
