Baby

Dear Baby,

As you get bigger and bigger you are becoming more and more real to me with your little knees morphing my belly as you roll around and wiggle your feet in my perfect little mommy cradle of squishiness.

Since you are expected to arrive inside a month I'm getting so excited! There's no real way of knowing when you'll come, so there's no real point in counting down to the exact day, so I say- we've arrived! This is it! You're coming soon, and however long you take it will be soon. Since I have plenty of things left to do to prepare for your arrival I can wait a few more weeks. Here they are:

Install carseat into car with doll in it to give your brothers fair warning that you are coming
Cook a bunch of freezer meals for desperate times
Find my baby clothes and wash them for you
Find a place for baby clothes to go in our house
Sew at least 2 baby carriers
Order muslin blankets online and decide if we're really going with white
Buy a diaper or two
Pack my hospital bag
Cut your brother's hair
Write out my hospital plan

I'm still enjoying procrastinating these things, so you just keep enjoying growing bigger. You're doing great.

Love,

Mom

Becca- Mom said that was miscalculation, 2 weeks late = not acceptable. Ha.

Lou I'm sure your baby is growing even if she is still the size of a pea.

Thanks Genevieve! Texas is great, I really like it so far, we are in Coppell. Your blog reminded me that I should add finding a baby name to my list!

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 ...

A Pregnant Post by Paige about Pregnancy

Here's the belly progression: 6 Months 8.5 Months Warning! This post may contain personal musings about pregnancy. It may read like a journal. It may contain baby excitement and overall feelings of joy. So I have been stepping on things lately. Mostly toys. How is this possible, you ask? Those of you familiar with my adroit walking skills may be puzzled at this point. I know I was until I took a shower this morning. And I couldn't see my feet at all; not a hint of them, no toes, nothing, not even when leaning forward could I see anything but a belly button sun on the horizon of a large earth belly. And that is why I've been stepping on things. Thomas' toy hammer, a plastic giraffe, the zipper of John's coat . . . The loss of my peripheral vision going down is apparently complete. I can't see where I am stepping! What a frightening feeling. I have also been walking into common household objects with my belly. Doorknobs and chairs. Major medial disco...

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...
