60 push-ups and counting

For the record, Mr. Wilson only did 2 more pushups than I did last week!  Woot-woot.  So far so good.  And if you're feeling jealous, today's the perfect day to start a pushup training routine ;) 


How is it that just when you think your husband would be shipwrecked on the seas of life without you he surprises you by being a lifesaver?  Of course I wouldn't be doing pushups without him, but I'm referring to much bigger fish: baby sleep.  We all know it's a challenge to figure out a young one's sleep schedule and make it happen.  At 13 months T-bird doesn't sleep on-the-run anymore.  And who puts him to sleep at church two Sundays in a row?  Dad.  And when Mom is completely exasperated by night wakings who says, "Oh- there's lots of ways I can put him to sleep. . . " ?!  Dad.  And who actually does it?  Dad.  It's incredible. 

T-bird is now enought back-on-track sleeping that I don't anticipate any Daylight Savings Time disasters, which is more than I can say about peace of mind than last week when each night brought me closer to the dreaded time change.

So I would like to give a shout out to my dearest Mr. Wilson.  YOU AMAZE ME!

Baby Spencer!

Spencer David Wilson was born on Monday at 5:42 am, at American Fork Hospital. A few hours later John and I agreed on a name for him at last. He was 7 pounds, 5.2 ounces, and 20 inches long. He has dark fine baby hair. It is so soft! He has a very red complexion compared with Thomas, and a fuller face and darker hair. My mommy has come to take care of me and we are having a great time in spite of having a flu bug which has gotten to several people unfortunately, including my mom and my sister and Thomas, but not John, Spencer, or me. Everyone is on the mend so we are praying for no more sickness! I delivered with the Mt. Timpanogos Women's Health Center and Claudia was my midwife, and Joanne was my doula and Kimmi my nurse. Karyann my sister, and John were also there and it was a great experience to have such a devoted team! I can't begin to tell you what a completely different experience it was compared with Thomas' birth. Everyone was emotionally there as well ...

Sweepstakes! Paige wins MONEY!!!

Don't you love starburst? http://www.starburst.com/ Yes, this is a promotional blog entry because of how much I love my Grandma and Grandpa, Pinatas and, Starburst! Oh, and money. Once upon a time in the summer of 2009, Paige went on a family reunion trip to the middle of nowhere after which reunion John blogged about life preservers on horseback. (Follow links on the right to read John's blog) Before we returned home to the safety of our own life jacket-less lives, we enjoyed a pinata with the cousins. Hiding behind the tree from which the pinata swung violently, I safely would look out for breakage in the pinata and subsequent candy wreakage on the grass beneath. Finally my moment arrived! Among the 20 grandchildren or so present, I dove into the mass of cousin arms and legs and grabbed at all candy visible and invisible (the candy under Colton when he decided to lay on the stash for its protection). I realize now that the failures of my youth to gather pinata can...

Part 2: The Hospital

Disclaimer: This is my personal record of Spencer's birth. It is the short version, and don't be fooled it is not short. Leaving I knew around 1 or 2 am that I could go to the hospital, but decided I could also wait a little longer, and I didn't say anything. Then when I said, "do you think we should?" to Joanne she said, "Yes" and was all about making that happen right then. We arrived at the hospital just after 3, so it was probably a quarter 'til when we left. She said she would follow John and I over and we loaded up the car. I had a contraction on Main Street and it really hurt and I was pretty worried about having more but the second one I pushed on the roof of the car, and it tucked me into my seat and wasn't so bad. The third one was okay, pushing on the roof didn't help so I tried to relax my arms instead and it was short lived anyway. We parked, and I started walking slowly toward the doors. I had a contraction on the sidewa...
