To start there is a funny story to this first picture. So I was feeding Tristan and needed to go to the bathroom. So I laid him down and put his binki in his mouth. No lie this is what he did.....

I promise I had nothing to do with it. Great. My son is already trouble. :D
Tristan has still occasionally been throwing up so on saturday John and Mike Wray gave him a blessing. It made me smile when at the end I looked down at him and while he is passed out he let out a big smile. It was cute. Today I called the doctor and she gave him a perscription for reflux medicine. So lets hope this works. Poor little guy.
My baby is too cool for milk mustaches:D

Just like pops

He even sticks his tounge out at his mom

My amazing family

My boys:D

3 weeks already?

Well Tristan is already 3 weeks old. Whoa!! Time sure does fly. I looked at Johnny today and said "Wow. We've kept a human being alive for 3 weeks. Dang we are good. Only 18 yrs to go!" These past 3 weeks have been the most AMAZING weeks (minus getting married and honeymoon of course). They have been very tiring but totally worth it. Tristan is such a good baby. He only barely cries when he is hungry or when he's being changed. It's fun to just sit and watch him because he has the most intense dreams. For the most part they are happy and the occasional sad one. He will open his eyes and they roll back in his head and all around. It;s kinda creepy looking. Our favorite is when he starts to laugh while dreaming. It puts a smile on my face. So we have had a pretty eventful weekend/week. On Sunday morning around 6:30 there was a knock on the door and when Johnny answered it was the people from upstairs. All of a sudden Johnny comes running into the bedroom and told me that we flooded again. So we go out into the kitchen and there was a couple inches of water on the ground and water was pouring like a waterfall from our ceiling.

Turns out a pipe in our utility closet burst. So they helped us to get our table and desk out of the kitchen cuz they were getting water all over them. The landlord came over to fix it and dry our carpet. Tristan and I went upstairs cuz it was FREEZING in our house cuz we couldnt use the heater. Then when we came back down and I plugged in our little heater it blew up. Yes blew up. I was pissed. I was just sitting there thinking nothing else could go wrong. Then on Monday morning I woke up to Tristan throwing up. And everytime I fed him he just threw it right back up. So I called the doctor and she said to do small frequent feedings which I told her I already was and she told me to call again if he still was. So then around 3 i called again and they told me to bring him in. She said it could either be a bug or something I ate or pyloric stenosis. So she sent us to get an ultrasound of his tummy. Well his ultrasound looked fine so she said probably a bug. He didnt throw up at all the rest of the day or night. But threw up Tuesday morning. So I called back and she told me she wanted me to pump so I could monitor how much he was eating. And he has been fine. A little fussy and gasy but not throwing up :D I felt so helpless and sad for him and just didn't know what to do. Im just glad he is feeling better.

I had to wrap him cuz he kept going threw clothes

Just watchin tv :D

Long awaited pictures and info

Ok so here goes. On monday we had a dr appointment and while we were there we had the dr strip my membranes. Then on Tuesday I went with a friend who took me on some bumpy dirt roads in his jeep, then Johnny and I went to the mall that night and walk around for more then an hour. After we went to Mimi's cuz I was craving French Oinion soup and while we were there my contractions were about 6 min apart. I got absolutely NO sleep that night because everytime I would try to fall asleep I would have a contraction and they were pretty strong. Then wednesday morning around 8 I finally got out of bed and decided to jump in the shower. By this time my contractions were 4 min apart and killing. So after the shower I called Johnny and told him it was time. Well he wanted to make sure so he had me call the dr and ask if I should go. So I did and the nurse could just tell by my voice that it was time to go. So I called Johnny back and told him to get home. Then I called my mom and just got my last minute things ready. John made it home in about 4 minutes and I was kinda mad cuz I know he was speeding. We then left and swung by mcdonalds cuz I hadnt eaten yet and knew I would be for who knows how long. We finally got to the hospital and instead of having John drop me off I just said hurry and park. And of course the only spot available was in the back right hand corner furthest away from the hospital. So I waddled and tried to hurry to get into the hospital. By the time I got to the room and all hooked up my contractions were 2 1/2 minutes apart and 3 cm dialateed. So we just sat waiting and the contractions just kept getting stronger. The nurse kept asking if I wanted the epidural yet and I kept saying no. Then they got so strong and I was figting back tears so I finally said I was ready. After that I was in heaven. Didnt feel a thing. The nurse checked me again and said I was 7 cm and then she just looked at me kinda shocked and said "your water just broke and your now and 8." Then I was fully dialted only a couple minutes later. So they notified my dr and she said she had to wait for her husband to come home and should be there in about 30 min. So I started getting worried that she wouldn't make it, but she did. So after 7 hrs of labor and about 20 min of pushing Tristan was born. Then they handed him to me and had Johnny cut the umbilical cord and that was the best part. Just seeing this amazing little purple baby that was mine. Looking at him and how perfect he was made all the ups and downs of pregnancy and labor and delivery worth it. He is such a happy little guy. He hardly cries(knock on wood), he smiles a lot. Hes already trying to roll over. He gets to his side and cant go any further. We were kinda worried at first at how Ryder would be around him but he immediatley gave him a kiss on the head and was very calm around him. Whenever Tristan makes any sort of noise or if Ryder is sleeping in the other room and comes out he has to check and make sure Tristan is ok. It's very cute. I'll stop babbling and finally put some pictures on. Enjoy my bundle of joy :D

About an two hours before he came

Right after he got cleaned

I love his little fat cheeks

HE"S HERE!!!!!

Ok so this is just a short post to say that: Tristan Cade Terry has arrived! He decided to finally come yesterday evening at 6:39. He weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and is 20 inches long. When we get our pictures up onto the computer I will post them along with the rest of the "yummy" details. lol. Thanks to everyone who has called or come by. We love you all.

The end is close

So my "due" date is in 4 more days. Im at the anxious, nervous, restless stage and so ready to have Tristan in my arms. So is John. When Tristan does come Johnny is taking a week off of work to be home with us. The other day he text me and said "Can Tristan be here yet?" I asked why and he said "because I dont wanna be at work. I wanna be with the 2 of you :D" It brought a smile to my face and made me miss him. If I had it my way neither of us ever have to work again so we can spend every second together. Neither of us really get any sleep at night. He has been taking sleep meds so he's not too tired at work. We both just toss and turn and are too anixous. My back, tail bone, and hips are in killer pain whenever I lay down so I try to stay up as much as possible so when I do finally lay down I can just pass out.

We had an appointment yesterday and because our dr had her baby last week we had a different dr. It was kinda weird having a different dr. She was looking over my chart and was looking at my weight throughout the pregnancy and other things and just said "you are lucky. Your weight has stayed a consistant gradual increase, You have no swelling at all. Im jealous." I just smiled and said thanks. Even though it seems like its taking forever, especially these past few weeks, I am thankful that he is taking his time and is gonna be healthy. Also my mom is coming out on the 6th now so she will see him as only a week or even less old. Which I am happy about.
I just thought it was funny that I can FINALLY use my belly as a tray. Ha.

Ok so I had to share this.

Apparently our economy is so bad that they had to put these sticky notes on sale. Wow!! You save a penny!! Better get over to Macy's and buy them before they cost a dollar again:D oh man. Some people.

Well hopefully next time I make a post will be to say that Tristan has arrived.

Surprise!!!!!!!

No Tristan isn't here yet. On friday Johnny and I went to dinner at Los Hermonos. Yum. While we were driving there I called my mom cuz I hadnt talked to her that day. She asked what we were doing so I told her we were going to dinner and then had to hang up so we could order. Johnny and I are just sitting there talking and had just barely started to eat our food when all of a sudden this lady just stopped just before our booth. (ours was in the corner against the wall so there was nowhere else for her to go) So I look up at her and thought to myself "This lady looks familar.....where do I know her from......wait she looks like my mom.....HOLY CRAP!! ITS MY MOM!!!!!"
So I jump up and just grab her and start bawling. Then I noticed my little sister standing behind her. So I let go and grabbed her and just started crying harder.

We sat down so I could regain myself and try and breathe. My mom was worried that she was going to put me into labor. I asked her why she was here and how come I didnt know about it. Her and my little sister came out to come to my baby shower. She was the one person I really wanted there for it and had up until that point thought it wouldn't be possible at all. Back to dinner. I ended up only taking 2 bites of my meal cuz I just couldn't calm down enough to eat anything. So we just sat at the restaurant for a couple of hours talking and then emma came and slept at our house and my mom went and slept at Maury's house to help get stufff ready for the shower. Then on Saturday Emma and I woke up and got my mom and went and got breakfast and some last minute shower things. The shower was fun and the gifts were great but I was exausted afterwards and we all crashed that night. Thanks to all who came and thanks to Cynthia and Maury for doing the whole thing. Well monday came way too fast and that meant my mom and Emma had to go home. So I took them to the airport and dropped them off and as soon as I was off the airport property the tears started rolling. It was way too hard to have them leave so soon. But they will be back in 3 weeks. Thank you mom for coming. I love you!!!


I am now 37 weeks and so ready to be not pregnant and to have Tristan in my arms.

Pictures

Well Im now 36 weeks and so ready to be done. But he needs to stay in there untill at least Feb 11. My mom, Emma, and Josh come out that day from Cali and I want them to not only see my belly in person but I also want my mom to be here when he's born. On Sunday John and I went out to Megan's house to take some belly pictures. It was a lot of fun and freezing in her house but worth it. I already knew she was an amazing photographer but this shoot blew me outta the water. It was her first maternity shoot so we were experimenting on how exactly to do it. Thank you once again Megan. You truely are amazing!! :D Go check them out at: www.photosbymegang.blogspot.com
