Bow-ooh

Thomas has finally learned to say boo after 16 months of peek-a-boo lessons!  Although it was my first word, there is only so much you can pass on directly to your children, sigh.

The greatest accomplishment t bird is making each day is learning new words.  Yesterday he learned "off," and it was hilarious because the most important thing anyone could ever do in life, of course, is to take off a pen cap for fun over and over, and therefore, he needed to learn the word 'off' so I could cooperate before any screaming ensued.  We enjoyed this pasttime for several seconds before boredom crept into the room and we moved on to banging the keyboard and other lively activities.

Tomorrow is the Nestle 5k and Thomas and I are gonna go for it together!  Woohoo!  I hope that I will have better luck than last year at winning something afterward.  Does that sound selfish?  But they have such great prizes and winning is so much fun!  I would love to win a little bike for Thomas.  He thinks bikes are the niftiest thing.  He's had many near-death experiences trying to get close enough to touch one.  From speeding 4 year olds on the sidewalk, to pulling Dad's bike down on himself, Thomas is surprisingly resilient in his determination to have one someday.  

For the first couple months of preggerness, I looked forward with eager anticipation to the day when I would post my own baby countdown on my blog and alas, when the day came that I announced my preggerness, I had forgotten!  So here it goes, and I hope you like it.

Speaking of hopes, I hope John manages to stay dry tonight under the stars.  I hope he comes home smelling of campfire and fun times.  I hope that he is safe.  I hope that tomorrow we have the awesomest day ever!

Okay, I will stop blogging now and go to sleep.

Seeya.

Goodnight.

Bye.

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...
