Grandma and Grandpas House!

This weekend we got to go visit grandma and grandpa Welch's house! It was so much fun! We all had a blast! All of the cousins were there and had so much fun playing all weekend. Presley already loves it there and loves when grandma holds her! :)
Presley is sometimes a cheater when it comes to tummy time haha. She likes to rest and take a break.

Thanks for letting us come and play! We had a blast and especially loved the zoo and snowcones! :) We will be back soon!

Joel's Soccer Tournament!

This weekend we got to go to Cache Valley and watch Joel play in a soccer tournament. It was so much fun and he did great! Their team did really well, and they were ahead but the other team scored in the last 19 seconds of the game making it a tie. So they called a shoot-out (best out of 5) and sadly we lost by one goal in the end. But they did amazing and had lots of fun!
Presley and I rooting for the red team!
My mom and Stetson came with me to watch and cheer on Joel! It was a lot of fun. Thanks for coming!
Our little family! Joel came to say hi at half time.
Stetson was a riot and loved watching Joel play. He kept yelling, "Run Joel run!" and "YEAH!" every time Joel would kick the ball. hahaha I loved it!
Presley cheering for daddy from the sidelines!
Stetson loving on baby Presley. He was so cute with her! He would kiss her feet and give her hugs. I just love that little boy. We will have to visit them in Vegas a lot so they can continue to be little buddies!

Here are some of the many visitors that came to visit us and baby Presley in the hospital. She is definitely one loved baby! We can't get enough of her and all of these sleepless nights are totally worth it! Although I'm sure I may be singing a different tune in the nights to come haha. Right now I am just running off of adrenalin and I stay awake just staring at her she is so perfect! We love our little girl very much and are in awe that she is all ours. We are totally enthralled by her!

I'm trying to document everything so that my sister that is on a mission can stay in the loop and keep updated. She made me promise to post lots of pictures, so this is for you Britters! Love you and miss you like crazy!!

Presley Claire Robbins

Miss Presley Claire arrived to this earth at 3:53 pm on July 7, 2011, weighing in at 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches tall. She is perfect and absolutely beautiful! We are so in love with her and already can't imagine life without her.

The day started off at 8:00 am. We were scheduled to be induced so we made our way over to McKay Dee hospital and by 9:15 am they had me all checked in and started on pitocin. The pitocin jump started my contractions right away and labor was in progress! A little after 10:00 or so my doctor came in and broke my water. That right there really got things going and my contractions started getting stronger and more painful. After a couple hours, I was ready for the epidural! I was hoping that I was at least at a 4, but wasn't wanting to wait any longer! After the anesthesiologist came in and gave the epidural to me the nurse checked me and sure enough I was at a 4+ hooray! I was progressing right along! The epidural was great and helped so much with the contractions! I labored for another hour and the nurse came in to check me again and I was at a 7! Whahooo! Things were moving right along and I was getting more and more excited to meet this little girl! The next hour I was checked again and the nurse looked at me wide eyed and surprised and said, you are at a 10 and 100% effaced! We are ready to go! She called my doctor and within the half hour we were pushing! I pushed for 15 minutes and little Presley was out! We did skin to skin right away which was amazing! It was the most incredible feeling in the world. She was so precious and cuddled right up to me and calmed right down. Joel got to fulfill his dream and cut the cord! haha. Everything went perfect :)

She got a great APGAR score, a 9, and she passed her hearing test and all of her little exams. She is so sweet!

We absolutely love being parents and feel so blessed to have her in our lives. Labor went really good and was so smooth. I had my two very best friends with me through the whole thing, my mom and my sweet husband. I couldn't have asked for better coaches :) they were amazing and I'm so blessed to have them in my life. Thank you so much you two! It was a perfect day! :)

GrAdUaTiOn!!

We did it! And the cool part is that we did it together! Joel and I both graduated on Friday; April 22, 2011 from Weber State University. He graduated with his bachelors in Communications: Public Relations and Advertising with a minor in Japanese and I graduated with my bachelors in Family Studies and a minor in Criminal Justice. Yay for being college grads! :)

Thank you so much family for coming and supporting us! It meant so much! We love you!

Joel and his buddies pretty excited to be done!

Showing off the baby bump! (for posterity reasons of course! I had to document so baby girl could see that she was part of the graduation party)

My friends and I messing around before line-up. Getting ready to walk! :) Woot!
We are all grown up! :) Well kinda.... :)
haha so I know that I look higher than a kite...don't worry, I wasn't of course! But I thought this picture was pretty funny so I just had to post it! There is nothing better then ending a post with a good ol' jumping picture right!? This shows our true excitement hahaha :)

Preggers :)

21 weeks! yucky pic....don't judge :) it was purely to document!
24 weeks
26 weeks

So now I am about 29 weeks and haven't taken a picture of my belly to document yet, but I'll do another post with more pictures. She is growing and it is so fun to see how much my belly changes every week! She is a little kicker, which is good! I love that she moves around because when she is more chill I worry about her! But if she is moving around I know she is ok. Funny how I am already a paranoid mother :) I just get more and more excited to meet her every week!

Today was officially my last day of classes!! It was an amazing feeling (a little bitter sweet though, I will miss seeing all my friends and learning in class-I know...I'm a nerd)!

I aced my final and now I am done! I graduate on Friday and then I will officially be a grown-up :) haha. Now with school and my internship being all done I get to start working on baby girls nursery! I can't wait!! Oh how life will change; but it will be a good change! I can't wait to be a mommy.

Life is good! :)
