We headed out to California with the in laws!
Isaac did pretty good in the car, he only had one screaming fit
We made the 10 hour drive in 11 1/2 hours which is pretty good with a baby
But we miss daddy but he has been fixing up the house a little bit
First night not great sleep
Tuesday we went to see the cooks where grandma works and they all swarmed to greet him so he got overwhelmed and cried the whole time
Then he took naps and I watched some tv shows
We went to target and he played with the kitty
I tried pumpkin pie pop tarts, not too bad
Then we had dinner for the missionaries
Realized I look a heck of a lot better now then I did when I first was married. I looked better when I was pregnant then I did when we first got married lol
Another rough night! Sigh
He takes great naps though
He had a really cranky moment today and nothing worked so I put water on in the bathroom and set him in the old carseat. He chewed on his pacifier strap I walked away then it was suddenly quiet, I go to check on him and he is asleep. It was hilarious. Then we want shopping! I got the last two flare jeans in my size at Aeropostale and a cute sweater and Isaac a cute outfit and his first Christmas ornament :)
Had yummy red robin
Cold and rainy today.
We stopped to see the johansons, love that family
Then I decided to put Isaac to bed in the old carseat (it reclines but still keeps him up right more) do not judge me because I just needed to try my options
Put him down at 9pm and woke up at 2. I fed him and he slowly fell back asleep and slept until 4 and then struggled a bit and went back to sleep until 6/7 =]
Oh my goodness. Which means I slept great and I need an old carseat like this.
My thought is the extra prop is what helps him (maybe his acid reflex is worse?) (even though we did just up his meds a week ago) a phone book under the mattress is not enough apparently
My poor baby, I should of realized but what's proped up more and safe for your baby at night?
I am so blessed to have an amazing little boy :)
We headed out to LA to the temple. Only they changed the times but didn't online so we missed a session (I have still yet to finally do one since Isaac) :(
So I was pretty upset and sad
Afterwards we went to try the ice cream sandwich place only we couldn't find parking since it was the time everyone was getting off work. Then tried to drive down a certain way but got lost and hit bad traffic so we were stuck in the LA area for longer then planned. Thankfully Isaac slept the whole time. Then Joseph came over and brownies were made. Isaac went and played with him no problem which was great. We all talked then had ice cream and brownies!
Thursday night.... Not a fantastic sleep night again. I can't wait to get back home so spencer can have a turn with Isaac. This has been great and I've done pretty well without him but now I need a break from Isaac. A vacation for me would be 4 hours or so without Isaac or even a full night sleep but I pump so that's crap. I can't wait until I'm done pumping, I'm so done with it all. I want my body back.
Sorry most of this post has been semi negative it's probably because most was written at night which is when I get frustrated.
Did I mention I have to give a tall Sunday? Yeah I'm not looking forward to it at all, I'm actually really upset about it which is not the right attitude but it's hard when your sleepy
Friday we got up and headed to Charlie browns. I love that store! So of course I bought a few awesome things!!! Then headed home and got ready for the movies with Erin. We saw gravity in 3d,amazing! It was kind of scary cuz you felt like you were in space ahhh but really great!
And nice to kind of have a girls evening.
Then I got everything packed and ate dinner and we headed out to the airport. Everything went fairly well. The flight was delayed a little while but Isaac did pretty good. And no crying when we took off he fell asleep off and on. Sat by a great guy who has three daughters and joined the church about 7-8 years ago. And he still has the passion which was inspiring :)
And spencer bought us two kittens! The girls name is hazel and the boy is almond. They are 3 months old. Poor almond is sick with a cold so we need to take him to the doctors on Monday. Poor guy!
Giving my talk on Sunday that I threw together. Probably need to take Isaac to the doctor again and I need a LONG nap
Just life taking it's course
You are going to have to deal with no pictures for a little while. My laptop charger stopped working so we are down a laptop.

Rolling over
Isaac pulls his pacifier in and out of his mouth now, the little stinker
He is a lot better on his tummy!
He weighs 13.4 lbs and 24 inches long
His doctor moved so we have a new one, he is great but Isaac doesn't seem to like him yet.
We got a higher dose of reflex medicine so hopefully this helps with his issues at night or we will have to go back and talk other options.
When he is in his back he rolls to his sides
A few times he has rolled from his back to his stomach to his back and his stomach so an actual full roll :)
It is getting harder to change his diaper lol
His giggles are so cute! When spencer jumps towards him and says boo that makes him laugh
He now screams and yells a lot, getting to know his voice
He loves to watch tv, but I try to only have it on a few times in the day
I absolutely LOVE his giggles!
I put him in his side to sleep and lately he has rolled to his tummy and woken up lol we think sometimes he moves and bonks his head into the rails...
Still haven't got the breaker fixed in our home which has taken a lot longer then we thought
I wish I could get rid of all my clothes (except a few items) and start over with a new wardrobe and have money for that.
I always get rid of a lot but somehow I still have a ton of things. But I should down size again
We found our missing box but think we are missing one more still...
I really need to find time to ice my wrists...
Off to California with the in laws driving then flying back on Friday
I'm excited and nervous
My baby is growing up and learning new things. What a big boy :)

Owning a home
This post is written daily so it's just random happenings in order. Slowly getting the house ready, finding things here and there we need to fix
Having carpet sure makes it feel more homey which I didn't feel with the hard wood floors
I defiantly need to be better with patience in all situations.
It's harder to be patient when you have lack of sleep because your baby can't sleep longer then two hours at a time at night. And seems to only sleep best when they are in bed with you (don't give me a speech on how babies shouldn't sleep in bed with you. It's my child and our decision)
I miss the days where he would wake up after 4 or so hours, I feed him and he fell back asleep for another 4 hours. I will take that back any day. I need rest.
I try to take naps with him but there are things I HAVE to get done while he sleeps and then I go to lay down and he wakes up.
He is taking better naps at least an hour now sometimes more.
Once we get into our house hopefully we can get on a better daily routine again and maybe then he will sleep better
I feel so scattered having things here and there but very soon all should finally be at our house
Isaac seems to laugh the most at night time. He laughs when we bounce him on the bed or when objects hit him in the face (soft ones don't worry)
He falls asleep almost instantly when I hold him in a certain position when he is ready for a nap or bed. I just have the mom touch. Other people can get him to sleep too but mine is almost instantly.
He is so peaceful when he sleeps
He loves being naked so each day we let him be for a few minutes.
When he is in his belly reaching for a toy he flips over onto his back lol not on purpose but I love it.
My wrists still hurt which haven't made moving very easy but pulled muscles take a long time to heal
The beginning of fall!! My favorite :)
We are getting everything moved in. Just a few things were left behind for now.
Now the fun if unpacking. I'm really excited but also nervous because this is the first time I will be living without my mom with Isaac. I know that's weird cuz most people are alone from the start and I know she is just a street away but I'm still nervous about leaving. So I will probably come visit a lot
Our ac and heater don't work sooooo it's 60 degrees in our house and I'm freezing!!!
We are missing a box of our things we have looked everywhere we can think of. I just don't know where it could be. It has some of our plates, cups, bowls and our microwave turn table (that's what we know we are missing)
And I go and lose the keys to our shed.... Nothing is in it yet but ah I don't usually lose things but lately I feel I'm losing my mind lol
Things are getting organized :) it's looking more like our home it's crazy that we own a home!
It's a little scary being in a new place with all the new noises but I'm slowly getting used to it all
Tried Isaac in the bed. I lasted until 4am. He woke up every thirty minutes then every hour then every two hours once we put him in bed with us. Exhausted!! I just don't know why he isn't sleeping through the night. He is earn (not hot), changed, fed, burped, and has medicine. Maybe he needs a higher dose of medicine. I don't know
We did our last costco trip.... Sad to be done but if we ever need anything I know I can ask my mom or sister
And next time we are going to try winco!
Well I guess Isaac and I are driving with the in laws down to California Monday and then flying back Friday. In excited but nervous because it's the first time without spencer for traveling and sleeping. I really hope Isaac is good for me so that it will feel like a vacation.
We don't have internet until Friday so it's just a written post for now

3rd month post
Soooo I forgot
to blog for awhile, life has been crazy so I will post the beginning of his 3
months and the end.
talking up a storm and the other video is him laughing from daddy
Beginning of 3
months old!
He chews on his pacifier strap
Also chews on both thumbs at the same time
He curls his feet together
He giggles a little but not a whole bunch yet
He is heavier and stronger
He drools even more... Bibs here we come
He is very alert
He grabs his pacifier sometimes
He tries sitting up in his carseat but can't so gets angry
Seems to be eating a lot more now
We've had some rough nights lately so im

We've had some rough nights lately so im
not a very happy camper. He squirms a
lot like he has gas but whatever we try isn't working.
And Monday night he fell asleep 4 times but wouldn't stay asleep for more then 5 minutes. Sooo I'm exhausted to say the least
We think he may be starting to teeth
He is about 12 lbs
It's crazy how you never think your gonna talk about their poop but you always end up doing so. For example his poop has been green for a few days and i read it can be a stomach bug and if it doesn't go away then to take him in. Other then that he seems fine though
I am so lucky to have this precious baby boy he means the world to me. It's crazy how I love him more each day.
He is always accomplishing something and I'm always giving him praise of some kind. It's so neat to watch them learn and grow
I especially love how they find their voice it's adorable all the cute new noises/sounds they make
If the USDA loan thing doesn't come in by the 6 th then we will be looking for an apartment instead somewhere else. We have to think ahead just in case and be happy for either option. It would be sad if we didn't get the house especially since we did all we were supposed it and it would be the USDAs fault but such is life. We will keep you updated
On a side note I never shared that spencer and my wedding photo made it into Kelly clarksons tie it up music video! It's awesome, go check it out!!!
I think I have mothers wrists they hurt from lugging a baby around all the time. My hands aren't used to twisting that way.
I also think I have a bruise inside around my right hip cuz I always put him on that hip.
I feel like I'm falling apart more after having a baby then during pregnancy lol

Okay so now
towards the end!
He is just growing up so fast and I love him to pieces!
He is just growing up so fast and I love him to pieces!
He still is
not sleeping fantastic at night. AH its killing me but some how I always make
it through the day without a nap.
He puts
pretty much everything in his mouth. He CHEWS on his thumbs and puts his whole
fist in his mouth
I’m losing my
mind so I can’t remember everything that has happened.
Umm we got
the house, it was a CLOSE call but finally! It’s stressful but we are making
it.
My parents
have been a GREAT help!
Lots of work
but we have it all painted and carpet comes tomorrow! Everything is in the
garage waiting for a spot in the house =]
I’m losing
weight, once I stop breastfeeding I’m probably going to gain like 40 lbs lol
I’m wearing
wrist things cuz my wrists are killing me. My knees are finally better but my
poor wrists now are killing me. We’ve had family visit here and there and that’s
been pretty fun.
I am the
primary chorister so that’s pretty exciting! A little stressful but most
callings have their moments.
The X Factor
is back on, so LOVIN that!!
Anyways
picture of inside the house soon to come.
Isaac is my
joy, he has his cranky moments but he is getting longer and older every minute
and I just love him! His smiles and giggles brighten my life!
He does seem
to like to sleep on his side lately so we try that when he wakes up.
His acid
reflex medicine seems to be helping him and so he sleeps a little better at
night. Still no crib, I will try more once we are finally in our house.
He went swimming in the pool, he didnt hate it but he didnt LOVE it.
First day of
Fall, ahh love it autumn is my favorite season.
A lot of my
clothes are too big for me so eventually we will have a yard sale and then
maybe I can go on a small shopping spree lol
I will do
better at blogging once we are in our house and things have slowed down a
little bit.
oh yeah we took him to the doctor around 3rd month, he is 12 lbs and has a little acid reflex and some colic and he is teething soooo it explained some of his fussiness. SO he is on some medicine and tylenol for teething. oh snap!

Blue eyes
(I've probably forgotten some things and forgotten pictures oh well)
He moves his head back and forth while being fed occasionally
He cries bloody murder before bed almost every night which I'm starting to be okay with. As long as I've tried everything I can then I hold him to comfort him until he is ready to calm down. So now I don't worry too much.
He is close to giggling
He almost always has an explosion (dirty diaper) when my mom holds him, it's hilarious!
He sucks on his fists a lot
When he is sleepy he likes to play with our hands and he rubs his eyes now
I now put him down for naps every hour in a half to two hours and he only sleeps for 20-40 minutes
Always trying to sit up when he is laying down lol
When I try to take a picture of him with my phone he looks at it like what are you doing lol
He also sucks on his bottom lip sometimes
And is really good at holding his head up and standing
I bought him some teething rings, I'm trying to get him to stop sucking/chewing on our fingers but he likes it too much.
He loves to take walks with us
And he talks and talks sometimes and squeals
I never thought I would love his stretches but I'm starting to love those
Lately some things will make him SCREAM and just not sure why
1. When we sing happy birthday and then blow out the candles
2. We walked past ambercrombie and Fitch and he screamed I think cuz of the strong smell
3. Certain houses he will once we walk in and I think cuz it's new and most the time he gets used to it and then calms down but sometimes he doesn't
He had his first bad rash and thankfully butt paste made that go away
I got an app called the wonder weeks and its a must have in my opinion. Tells you when they will probably be fussy an for how long
Sorry it's been awhile I just haven't taken the time to blog cuz I haven't been in the mood too
We bought a blu ray player so that's pretty cool since our play station doesn't work anymore.
We've been to this restaurant called la jolla groves at gateway and they have great desserts!
I got a new phone... iPhone 4... It's okay but I should of gotten a different one or stuck with my original phone. But I wanted an iPhone so I would of been upset if I didn't get to try it.
I'm still pumping.... Occasionally we will do formula if I'm behind but not very often. Can't believe I've made it through 3 months of pumping. I either am gonna try to get him back to just through me or pump this whole child and next one work hard to keep them on just me.
It's emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausting being a parent. Always trying to keep them happy and healthy and helping them reach their milestones. Your always doing something but I try to take some me time once a week to just get out of the house and take a breather.
But I also love it more and more and have those moments when I randomly feel overwhelmed with love for Isaac it's pretty awesome
I seem to keep losing weight but now im starting to eat a little more so hopefully that will help
I haven't really done good at starting to exercise or learn things but after we get settled in our house I plan to get Isaac and I on a better schedule
There are something's that I'm not gonna know how to do once we aren't living with my parents but we will manage
We have all sorts of fun and exciting plans for our house. Hopefully all of it works out. The soonest we can close is the 30th of this month. The latest is September 6th if the rural loan doesn't get done by then then we pretty much won't get the house. Soo hopefully all works out
I keep wanting to look for dining room tables and thing like that but until we get the house we don't have anywhere to put anything yet
I will take pictures once we paint and get some things settled in.
I have our paint colors picked out for the house finally and now deciding on carpet color
Our room: 3 light blue walls 1 silver/grey
Isaacs room: 2 light blue walls 1 light green 1 silver/grey
Spare room: 3 silver/grey walls 1 light green
Bathroom: 3 light purple walls
Kitchen: 4 silver/grey walls
Living room: 3 silver/grey walls 1 dark green/blue wall
Hallway: silver/grey walls

10 weeks
10 weeks old
We are doin formula every other feeding cuz I was stressing out cuz I couldnt keep up. So now I'm more calm and know he is getting enough and my extra milk I have been freezing or refridgerating.
He loves to chew and suck on our fingers.
It's so funny to watch he struggle to put his whole fist in his mouth.
He likes to stand and sit up more then lay down somedays
We tried to bumbo and he kind of likes it.
He watched some mickey mouse club house that was cute
So he eats now 4 to 5 ounces sometimes 3 so we are getting him the right amount now.
He has been scratching his face at night so I need to remember to put his gloves on. Lately he has a screaming fit at night for a couple minutes, I think cuz he doesn't want to go to bed lol
He still loves going on walks
And also now cries when someone else takes him from Spencer or me. And they can't calm him, I feel bad cuz its not that he doesn't like them he is just comfortable with us. And then they give him back to me and it takes me awhile to calm him down but he will calm down for me or Spencer.
He still slobbers like crazy.
He wiggled in his sleep and makes silly noises day or night. And gets up every 4 hours at night or 3. Sometimes 5 but not as much as he used to :(
I just love him to pieces.
We try to do more tummy time so we can strengthen the muscles he needs to crawl.
He eats from 6 to 8 ounce bottles now.
He will either help hold the bottle or hold my finger.
I tried the crib but I just couldnt do it yet. I hate to leave him in a room all by himself even though I can hear him on the monitor but he is getting to long for the bassinet
I've been trying to figure out paint colors for the rooms in our house. That's fun and stressful.
The earliest we can close is august 30th so im hoping its then not the 10th of September
I'm really excited but also really nervous to own a home. It's a big responsibility.
My ear is better not 100% yet. I can hear a little more and its not swollen and only hurts a little bit. In time I'm sure it will be 100% better
We are doin formula every other feeding cuz I was stressing out cuz I couldnt keep up. So now I'm more calm and know he is getting enough and my extra milk I have been freezing or refridgerating.
He loves to chew and suck on our fingers.
It's so funny to watch he struggle to put his whole fist in his mouth.
He likes to stand and sit up more then lay down somedays
We tried to bumbo and he kind of likes it.
He watched some mickey mouse club house that was cute
So he eats now 4 to 5 ounces sometimes 3 so we are getting him the right amount now.
He has been scratching his face at night so I need to remember to put his gloves on. Lately he has a screaming fit at night for a couple minutes, I think cuz he doesn't want to go to bed lol
He still loves going on walks

Two Months Old
Two months old!
Thursday he was hungry so I fed him a bottle but 2 wasn't enough but I hadn't pumped more yet wo we decided heck why not try the old fashion way. And he latched and ate for like two minutes.
So we try here and there and he latched 3/4 times.
Saturday he ate for ten minutes! I was a proud mommy! I don't know if it will last cuz I'm constantly worried I won't have back up in a bottle if he doesnt latch.
He smiles more but still has fussy moments. I realized if I put him in his crib when he naps he sleeps better and longer so that's our new thing.
He goes to bed around 10 ish and sleeps until around 3 ish and then sleeps until either 630 or 830 :)
He likes tummy time a little better but still doesn't last long.
He likes sucking on Fingers like ours not just his own.
Almost every single time we lay him down to change him he screams. It's so frustrating but I know it can be normal.
We finally got his newborn pictures and so I made an amazing baby announcement!
Sometime we will try and put him in his crib to sleep....
We tried it once and after an hour he screamed. I just hate leaving him alone in a room :(
Monday was his appointment. He is now 10 lbs and 11 ounces. He was in the 50th percentile but now down to the 12th so it causes concern but he is healthy so if by his 4 month appointment he isn't bigger they will have to change something. He is now eating 3 ounces or more but I did read they should be up to 4-5 ounces. At least he is healthy.
He is now 22 3/4 inches long!
All looked and sounded well then came the shots :'( I hate being a mother in cases like this. I know shots will keep him healthier but the painful process kills me. I hate seeing him cry like that. It shows how much I love and care for him though.
Also his doctor is leaving so he will get a new one :( which I'm sad about because dawn Powell was a great doctor, hopefully this guy will be too.
Oh and can't do half formula half breast milk if I don't make enough because Isaac does not like the formula, he can tell the difference even if he is starving so that means I might have to start pumping more and making sure I'm making enough food for him. Oh boy
I have an ear infection, I have no idea how I got it. And it has messed up my jaw so now its hard to eat things. I'm putting drops in my ears until Thursday, hopefully when the swollen goes down it will put my jaw back together. So I'm kind of deaf in one ear which helps when he screams lol
Our closing date has moved to September 10th, ahh we are so close but so far away.
I'm still waiting to kind of feel back to normal but that may never happen lol
I could start working out again but I worry about it. When Isaac has a better napping schedule I will be able to plan my workouts a little better.
I have a list of things I want to learn and I'm really excited but not sure how to go about it yet and where to start.
I dont want to sit around and watch tv all day but its easier then keeping a house clean lol
It's harder to keep things organized right now since we are so close to moving and getting things a little better organized there. Sigh I'm bad at cleaning. I have no drive 75% of the time. Also the day is over before it begins sometimes. It's hard enough eating every meal. But I'm slowly getting better at that.
And need to do more church things as well.
We are surviving I think... Lol
I said I would add more pictures from last post since they were't loading but... that wont happen cuz i can't remember what ones they were, sorry.
