Ryker J Winegar

Well I guess since my little man is going to be 2 weeks old tomorrow I should give ya'll an update one  everything going on in this house. 

His birth.. 

 Well he was due on July 26th and we tried everything we could to get him here but he was just too stubborn to come.  He liked being in my warm belly, where life was easy. So since he didn't come, we had an induction scheduled for Aug 2nd. I was the first one on the list and they called me at 5:30 and asked me to be there at 6:30 am. So I got up cause I couldn't really sleep anyway and got ready to head to the hospital. Cam woke up like 5 min before we left ha. When we got there, they got me started on an iv and we met all the nurses. The doctor didn't come till like 8.  He broke my water and then they started me on the pitocin. I don't know how long it was until I ended up getting the epidural. I  know they that the contractions started getting a lot closer and I had a few bad ones and then one really bad one and I was like okay get the nurse. After the epidural I was in heaven, I even fell asleep for a little bit. I was fully dilated at like 12:30, but he still needed to drop down some so we sat there for like 2 hours and before I started pushing. Once they told me that we were going to start pushing I got really nervous and I threw up. Cam has a weak tummy and he said he almost threw up too. oops. ha Then we started at like 2:40ish and he was born at 3:13 pm at 7 lbs 7 ounces and 21&1/2 in long.  I thought I was going to be an emotional wreck and start bawling like crazy when I saw him but I didn't. Surprisingly. All I could think was how beautiful he was. He is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my whole life. I love him soo much!

First time I got to hold him

7 lbs 7 oz
21 1/2 in long

He's so adorable!

                                                

Proud big sister!

Kisses from Daddy

I love him!

Taking a nap!

Ready and Waiting

So here I am, 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant sitting in the recliner watching some tv.  Cam is at work and I'm bored and sooooooo so ready for this little guy to come.  Tomorrow is the 24th of July and I wish I lived closer to home so that my doctor could be right there and I could attend the AMAZING festivities of Fairview, Ut!  But let's be honest here, I am like 4 hours from home and Washington county doesn't really go  all out like Fairview does so I have not a clue what I will be doing tomorrow, on my Christmas Day in July.  It's all good. I can deal with it. I don't have all the energy in the world anyway and I would probably fall asleep half way through the derby.  I know I definitely couldn't sit there the whole time. I would go crazy and my back would hate me even more than it already does.  So I have accepted the fact that I will miss out this year. Next year I will be celebrating the heck out of it though!  We will also have a little guys birthday right around the same time and that will be something to look forward to as well! :) Hopefully he makes his debut some time soon.!  We are ready for him, my mom says I gotta wait till the 26th so that she can be done with all of her things this month and then she can just come down and stay for a bit. Which is my due date, and only like 3 days away, so I'm okay with that, but we are ready for him anytime. just sayin :)

Here is a little pic for ya.. I'm about to pop!

Prego Pics!

So we are getting closer and closer to little Ryker being brought into the world.  This past week I've been helping Casey get ready for my baby shower.  It's been fun hanging out with her a lot again.  It's almost like we lived together again. :) haha I miss that girl sooo much!  It was like we never went a day without seeing each other.  She is seriously like my other half.. Besides my wonderful husband Cameron of course! 

Anyways.. she has a ton of cute ideas for this little baby shower and I'm super excited for it.  We have made a bunch of decorations for it and we came up with the idea that we should display some pics of me being pregnant.  So we got Cam and we went and took a few shots.  (and by a few, I mean a few)  I believe we did get some real good ones though.. And here they are! 

As for the pregnancy.  Things are going great.  Just under 4 weeks to go. Woo! That is so crazy.. He is moving soo much.  He loves to kick me in the right ribs, not so much the left, but the right.  ALL THE TIME! My hands are soo numb like all day because they are so swollen that the circulation is being cut off and that sucks. But that's really been the worst for me so far. I think a lot of it has to do with how hot it is here in st g all the time. 

Well we are very excited for this little guy to come into our lives.. can't wait to meet him! <3 

XOXO -sky

"I am a child of God"

Okay so can I just say that it has been awhile since I have been to church.  We are really trying hard to get back to going and becoming temple worthy so we can go through the temple.  If you add up not going to church for some time, going to a new ward where you know nobody, and a family ward at that so we are like the youngest can be a little scary.  My whole plan was to go to sacrament meet the bishop and get him our records so that they could be transferred to the right ward.  So skip to after sacrament, I asked Madi if she just wanted to go home and SHE was the one that said "No, I want to go to primary! I'm so excited for primary!!" So we stayed, took Madi to primary, found Sunday school and braved my way through Relief Society.  Afterwards I was very thankful. Of course it was the 4 year old child who was braver than me today!  I love her for that!  She is such a talented and special little girl!  She wasn't shy at all either, her teacher said she just jumped right in and helped out in class.  She even met the bishop and said he was soo nice cause he gave them all suckers.  I'm so thankful for the hearts of children and how awesome they are at keeping us adults in check when they don't even know.  It makes me even more excited for when our little Ryker is here!  I love the gospel and I'm so excited I finally dove in to start the journey of eternity with my family!

I'm back!

Okay so I finally got internet! YAY!! I'm very very excited about this. Hopefully you will get to see me more often! ;) with actual pictures. I just have a few today.. Updating on how this pregnancy is going.. which is great so far. I have 5 weeks left as of today! :) I cannot wait to meet the little guy in there! Things have seen to go by so fast.. To go from this

11 weeks

to this.. 

34 weeks

in a matter of 23 weeks. 

 He is growing strong and kicking me more and more and more! By the way, his name is going to be Ryker! I love it! We thought that it was a not very common name but lately I have heard it soooo much. I've had that name picked out since high school and I'm so glad that Cam liked it too! I think it's only going to get more and more popular though which I'm not very excited about. We liked that it was different. I'm finally starting the whole "swollen" thing. My feet and hands are soo swollen. And my fall asleep at night all the time and then they hurt so bad in the morning.. I can't wear my rings and I hate it! haha 

As for what else is going on in my life, I've finally gotten a break from a work which is really nice! But Cam has been in phoenix for the past 5 weeks straight. I'm getting so sick of that place and I hate that the only relationship we have throughout the week is over the phone. I miss him so much.! 

On a side note Colton has moved in with us for the rest of the summer so I have someone to keep me company! But he thinks I'm a boring old married woman cause I'm tired all the time and don't ever want to do anything but lay around mostly! 

Well that sums it up for now! I'll be back soon! :) I promise! ;) later gators. 

Okay I know that I haven't blogged in a long time. But I have been SUPER busy with work and everything. Not having internet sucks too. So when I get done with work I just want to go home. Therefore, I don't get on here at all. And blogging from my phone is no fun at all.

Here are the updates of our lives..

-Cam got a new job! Which we are both very excited about. He will be programming and installing home automations for Sound Solutions. It's something that he has always wanted to do and he is very smart when it comes to these kinds of things! He is learning a lot. He comes home every night and explains someting new to me that he learned and a lot of the time it just goes straight over my head! One sad part... He will be traveling now. He just left for Phoenix this week. I don't know the last time we went 5 days without seeing each other. That is going to be the saddest part for me. :(

-I get to go home this week!! I've been saying for the past couple months how bad I want to go home. I miss Fairview soo much! I love living in St. G but Fairview will always be home to me. I miss the fresh mountain air and everything about it! My little brother is graduating from High School! Yay! I'm so proud of him!

-and last but definitely not least...
 Our baby is growing sooo big! I'm 30 weeks and a few days along now! He is healthy and moving around like crazy! I can finally say that it is so hard for me to bend over and pick up things and I can't paint my toe nails anymore.. I hate shaving my legs and I have the hardest time sleeping. I've never in my life had to get up in the middle of the night to go pee. Now it happens every single night. We bought me a body pillow and it has helped a lot but it is still hard for me to sleep sometimes! So, I take naps whenever I can! Cam wants the baby here soo bad. He says all the time I wish he could just get here! haha It's the cutest thing! He is very excited to have a son! So am I though, don't get me wrong! :) We have been keeping his name a secret and we have known what it is for a long time. He took quite awhile for our families to found out since Madi knew. But it lasted a lot longer than we expected. So we have started to slowly tell everyone what it is.. I think I'll keep it a secret on here for a little longer though.. just for fun!

I know that I really suck at blogging. I promise that I'm going to start trying to blog more. Especially for memories. Like a journal, through marriage and life and such. It's just hard cause I don't have internet at home and so when I'm at work I don't have any pictures to post so I'm like well I want to put pictures on this post too so I just read everyone elses and don't post anything on mine.
I should have a picture of this on my phone but I don't. Maybe i'll take one and post it later.. On March 6, 2012 Cameron and I went to the doctor and we found out what our baby is... Wait for it... We will be having a little boy! Which we are both very very excited about. It works out really well for our little family since we already have Madison. I love that little girl like my own. I'm so happy that her mom supports me being a step mom to her when she is at our house. It's a blessing. So, having a boy will be very exciting. I've always wanted to have a boy first anyways.. Cam is so cute about it too. He always says little things about how he will finally have someone to give all of his hot wheels too. Or build legos with. It's cute. I'm very excited about our future! It's been a crazy get go but I truly believe everything happens for a reason and this little boy was meant to come to earth now. I'll get a picture of the ultra sound and post it. But for now, here is one of me at almost 20 weeks.




The baby is growing great and he is right where he needs to be. I have felt little tiny movements in my belly. Just little flutters.. I'm excited for when he is bigger.. although I'm not looking forward to him kicking my bladder and such. I'm very excited to be able for when Cam can feel him too! Yay! We are so excited and happy!
We also found a place to live. It's a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom and for now it will work out great. We have plenty of room in our bedroom that a crib can fit into and Madi can still have her own room. We only signed a 6 month contract. So we'll see where we are money wise and if we can get into a bigger apartment by then or not. Madi may have to share with the little guy for awhile but she is very excited about it and sharing is something she loves to do! <3
