Ammon

I love this little guy!

>Sweet bruise I got from a couple of nurses who tried three times to get an iv in this arm... I was kind of pissed but I was in active labor during that time.

Baby Boy is here!

Born Monday April 8, 2013 at 9:01 am.

Ammon Vasque Weimer

7 lbs. 11 ounces

19.5 in. Long

We love him!!!

Climber

I was vacuuming the house this morning

And I look over to see this little man...

He had climbed on the chair all by himself. I gave him the "what are you doing? You are too cute. Is this dangerous?" look

He gave me the cutest smirk.

He is not the most agile kid because he is so chunky.

I am ready for the baby to come because I have been feeling nauseated and tired the past two weeks. But at the same time I know it is going to get all chaotic up in this house! Luckily today is the last day I have to watch sarge all by myself! Blake has flex Friday tomorrow and lorraine flies in tomorrow even though she is staying the weekend with her other grandkids... I can't hog her the whole time! :)

Last night we went to the park. Blake played with Sarger and I did a light jog around and around the park. I am hoping the jogging will help... I definitely get lots of contractions but not the ouchy kind yet.

Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter!

We got to eat an scrumptious dinner at my sister-in-laws house with all of her family. We had a wonderful time! The weather was gorgeous! 

I am 38 weeks! I am due next Saturday! Crazy pants! 

The kids all had an Easter Egg Hunt. SArger liked getting the eggs and putting them in the basket. His mother loved opening the eggs and eating all the goodies... hehe. (Sarger hasn't had any sweets yet)

I love this picture of all the kids standing in height order. It was hard to get Sarger to stand still.

Sarger just wanted to stay in the backyard and play all day/evening long. It was a blast!

I am so glad that I know my Savior lives again!

Happy Easter!!

Lunchtime

Plain Greek Yogurt with pineapple.... yum yum!

Naps continued

Well ladies and gentlemen... it seems since yesterday, my little man has decided that he can take naps again! No more crying hysterically when I put him down! All is well when babies take naps! Seriously though, it is difficult when kids don't take naps. He is sound asleep right now getting the much needed rest he needs for a strong healthy body.

It seems like this past week he has "mentally grown" (I know that sounds weird). He notices things differently and pays attention to other things. He is clingier to Blake and I. He is such a sweet little boy. I love this age.

He likes to spin around and around until he falls down. He still only has 4 teeth. He likes to walk everywhere.   He goes to the fridge when he wants milk. He loves his buddy Apollo even though Apollo stays away from him most of the time.

I am 38 weeks tomorrow! This little guy is going to be here before I know it. My mother-in-law is coming next week. I am so thankful that I will have help! My body is definitely getting ready for labor. My joints are all loose and I am achy from head to toe. I get lots of contractions everyday. I am sleeping ok at night. Luckily I am not huge when I am pregnant. I just have to eat a protein shake in the middle of night and drink lots of water. I stopped lifting weights since last week because I am just stiff and sore everyday. We have not figured out a name yet... we talk about if every night. I am getting excited.

Naps

Sarger has decided he hates taking naps. Its been since last Friday he cries for his whole nap time. He is so tired when I out him in his crib. I know he needs a nap. Is he just trying to get out of his nap time? Is he scared of something? He's not sick. Its every time I put him down. And even at night when we put him down he cries for a while. And then he is waking up at 4 am and won't go back down again and so we just let him cry for hours. What's going on?! Its hard to see him cry but I know he needs his nap to grow healthy and strong.

This morning

It's Friday!

Sarger found these pillows and pulled them out of our guest room. He loved playing with them.

After breakfast, he always gets his books out and flips through them. For breakfast he has been eating shredded wheat with a little bit of honey and strawberries. He loves it.

Walks

We love to go for walks!

I love this little boy!

He now waves bye bye... its in the video too.

Christmas!

We flew to Rexburg for Christmas with all of Blakes family! We had a blast in the snow and we all went sledding a few times. Good food, good times!!

Sarger is 1!!!

This is a pic of Sarger taking his 1 year old birthday bath for the day.

I love this baby boy. I can't believe Blake and I survived a whole year of this cute baby boy! 

Sarger is opening up his Birthday presents (and Christmas presents... don't tell him!)

Oh my goodness, Blake and I were dying laughing. Sarger was SO EXCITED about his new toys. He was giggling and clapping his hands like crazy. It has been fun watching him play with his toys.

Halloween.

The day after he was born. So tiny.

Our Christmas present in 2011.

Ever since he was born he is super alert and active.

This picture is so tender of him.

He has such a special spirit that he brings into our home!

Making him laugh is the best sound in the whole world.

His pregnancy was the worst, hardest period of my life that I have EVER gone through (The night I went into labor Dec. 26, 2011). 

He was so worth all the pain and sickness though!

Happy Birthday SARGER!!!!

It's a......

BOY!!!

We are super excited! 

We went to Arizona for Thanksgiving. It was so beautiful there. 

See in this picture: 

no sweater = warm

no jacket = not raining

smile = loving life

Nice and warm and no rain!

I can't believe I am 20 weeks now! "Woah oh, we're halfway there!"

But it really does go by faster the second time around. I am busy with an 11 month year old. 

I love this time of year. 

November - 9

I am so thankful for my little dog Apollo. 

I am so glad he is my first child. He is so caring and loving. He is always there for me. I am glad we rescued him from the crazy pet owner he had growing up... poor guy.

He is amazing with little kids. So patient, gentle, and kind. He and Sarger are buddies. He is the first to know when I am pregnant because he will come and lay by my tummy and he doesn't do that normally.

He makes me get outside to take him on walks. I never regret going on a walk or run with him.

He doesn't shed and he's the perfect size dog for us.

We love to take naps together.

He is very protective of baby Sarger ever since he was brought home from the hospital...haha 

(And yes, Apollo is sitting on my lap while I am nursing... he had to be where the baby was)

He loves going on hikes or any outings. We are so glad you are in our family Apollo!!!

November - 4

I am thankful for a modern day prophet, President Thomas S. Monson. I am also thankful for the First Presidency and the 12 Apostles.

Today, we had Stake Conference. We were able to hear from Elder Quentin L. Cook, one of the 12 apostles.

I am so thankful that these men that are called of God to be Prophets, Seers, and Revelators for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints. 

I know these men are truly called of God.

Happy Sabbath Day!

I am making pumpkin chocolate cookies... delicious!

It is a gorgeous November Oregon Day!

Happy Sabbath!

November - 3 Beautiful Heartbreak

I am thankful that I was able to attend

"Time Out For Women"

on Saturday! 

It was fantastic! My friend Jackie Beattie went with me. It was in Portland from 9am - 3:30pm. It is sponsored by Deseret Book. They had speakers and Hilary Weeks performed multiple numbers. Wow, Hilary Weeks is amazing! 

She performed this song, Beautiful Heartbreak with this video. 

 Check it out!

It was an uplifting day. The theme of the day was "Seek the Good". 

The more positive we are about life, the more positive life becomes. It is truly amazing. The more negative things we pick out about our life, the more negative our life becomes. Our mind is so powerful. The thoughts we think become the kind of life we have. We can create the kind of life we want to have by our thoughts. It is such a great reminder of how I want to live my life. I don't want a hard, sad life. I want to have a joyful and wonderful life. I will seek the good in everything. 

P.S. I am feeling a lot better than yesterday. Still on the mend but a ton better.

November - 2

November - 2

I started feeling really sick yesterday, Thursday, afternoon. Blake even came home a little early to take care of me and Sarger. I started throwing up at 8pm and continued every 2 hours until 4am. And then I only threw up once this morning at 9:30am. I couldn't sleep all night and my stomach was killing me! I hate, HATE being sick! 

I called the offline nurse early this morning to ask what I should do. I get worried since I am pregnant and nursing that I am losing so many fluids. I need extra fluids for my two babies. I talked to a doctor and he told him to keep him posted on my condition. He said that I have a viral bug. Since I stopped throwing up by the time another nurse called me this morning, they didn't have me go in to get an IV of fluids.

I have just been laying around all day... it drives me crazy... I hate being sick. Have I told you that yet? This nausea reminds me of when I was pregnant with Sarger... how did I do it?! 

I am so thankful that Blake has his flex Friday today. Luckily, he has work off to take care of Sarger and me. What a blessing that I happened to be sick when he could take care of us. 

I am thankful that Blake is a worthy, Priesthood holder and that he can give me a blessing of health and strength. Blake is my best-est friend and companion in the whole world and I am truly thankful for him and his life. 

Here's a  random video from Sarger swinging on the swing at the park

November - 1 Giving Thanks

It is November 1st!

I saw this on another blog (Caroline's) and I wanted to copy it. I want to blog each day this month about at least one thing I am grateful for. There are SO many things I am grateful for. 

(Warning: These posts might be kind of lame for you readers. But you don't have to read them :)

I am thankful for the sunshine and the rain. 

It has been raining a lot here in Portland and I am not quit use to it yet. I have to stop and think that it helps gives nourishment to all the plants and trees. I still need to get outside even though it's cold and rainy!

And let's not forget about the sun. Without the sun, it would be complete darkness. We would cease to exist. I love the warmth of the sun and the happiness it gives me.

Happy 1st!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

We had fun going to my sister-in-laws and going trick or treating at a shopping center. My three nieces looked so cute.

I cooked up some delicious Tilapia fish, rice, and green salad for dinner. We had about 30-40 trick or treaters come over to our house.

I really wanted to take Sarger trick-or-treating even though he doesn't eat candy. But I loved it growing up. Blake did NOT want to come with us due to embarrassment but I finally convinced him to come and not be visible to the home owners. Sarger and I just went to a few houses. It was really fun, for me!

Sarger had fun taking the candy out of the bag and then throwing it back in. I love my little dargon boy.
