Trying To Catch Up

I am so sorry for not keeping up on my pictures we have been really busy this last month. Well we have been living in Spanish Fork for a month and a half now and it's been great! I've made alot of friends in our ward and everyone is really welcoming. Our landlords are the best they have a really good garden and when ever they're picking they give us a bunch of tomatoes, squash, and zecinni( I have know idea how to spell that word) They are great! So the title for all these pictures is "Trying to Catch Up" and it really is all of these pictures are what have happened in the past month and a half to now. They're mostly pictures of Takoma.LOL I just can't believe how much she has grown in these two months. She will be three months on the 29 of October! WoW!! So just to let you all know there're a couple of poop pictures in here so if you think you will get grossed out I probably wouldn't look at these. These two pictures happened about a week ago. It was bath day for Takoma and I could tell that she was really excited. She loves taking baths. I was splashing some water at her and then I saw some bubbles appearing from her you know what and then a second or two later all of her poop started coming out. I totally freaked out, I grabbed my girl out of that tub and put her in her towel. I didn't really know what to do I told Takoma that was pretty discussing and all she could do was smile. I couldn't help but laugh and then I realized that I should probably clean up her mess which wasn't to fun but what can you do. I hope you all enjoy the rest of the pictures.

We decided to go to the park one day just to get out of the house. There's also a library next to the park so we check out some books to read while we were hanging out. Takoma slept the whole time.

so cute

I don't know why but for some reason Takoma woke up at like four in the morning. I was really surprised becase I'll get her in bed by nine or nine-thirty and she'll sleep till seven. Anyways After I nursed her I was to tired to take her back to her crib so I let her sleep with me and Cameron this one time.

okay so Cameron was playing with Takoma and he kept on putting her back to his cheek and he started to notice that he's cheek was a little damped and he couldn't figure out why till he actually looked at Takoma's back. He was so discussted but was laughing at the same time.

yuck!

Usually when I have all of my things done for the day I will take pictures of me and Takoma just to pass the time. It's so much fun taking pictures with her.

She just stared smiling these past few weeks and it's so adorable!

she's modeling for her mommy in her sun dress.

Kiss Kiss

TAKOMA'S FIRST SUNDAY IN OUR NEW WARD

This is Takoma's first Sunday in our new ward. Such a cute outfit! She slept the whole time in church. YaY (FYI Takoma is a month and a half old in this pic.)

Cute Pics of Takoma!

This is such a cute picture! This is my dad holding his first grandchild. He is now a Grandpa!

Here's Takoma getting some sun through the window!

Look at her big tummy oh my gosh she is so cute!!!

Nap time. By the way her shirt says I love my daddy.

Takoma's First Bath!

Takoma is three days old and I couldn't wait any longer I wanted to give her a bath. Not because she was stinky but I have been looking forward to getting her in the water as soon as possible! I can't wait to take her to a pool and play with her! As you can tell by these pics she didn't like it at all but she does love taking showers with me so there's some good news!

My mom got to help me give Takoma a bath and boy did I need help. Takoma did not like getting wet at all! Thanks mom for helping me!

Look at that cute face!

Bringing Takoma Home!!!

These two pics were taken when we came home from the hospital! Yay!! I was so happy to be back home and it was wonderful to bring our baby girl home as well.

TODAY IS THE DAY!

So I had my check-up at 39 weeks and it went great! I was dilated to a 3. I asked my doctor if I could get induced since Cameron and I are moving in the middle of August and he said that is fine. And the best part is that he said he could start me the next morning! We were so excited and nervous at the same time. These two pictures were taken right before we went to the hospital. This is me at 39 weeks.

And Cameron at 39 weeks

We arrived at the hospital at 7:00 AM

Can't you tell how excited my husband is about being a daddy.

Alright so we came to the hospital at 7:00 AM and at 7:00 PM I had only dilated one more cm. Yeah I was only at a 4! So the doctor told me that I could get some real food since nothing was really happening so I asked my mom if she could bring me Wendy's and within minutes after I was done eating I started getting contractions! I was in so much pain it was unreal.(Can't you tell by the picture) I was able to get the stuff that takes the edge off but it didn't take enough of the edge off for me. I went from a 4 to an 8 in thirty minutes! By then I was begging for an epidural and I was lucky to get it because by then I was dilated between a 9 and a 10.

This is me after I got the epidural. Life was great.

Yay!!! She's here Takoma Aria Ruppe came to us at 10:45 PM on Wednesday the 29 of July of 2009. She weighed at 6lbs and 9oz. and 20 in. long. She was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen. When the doctor put her on my chest Takoma peed on me. Not to mention she peed like a boy, not kidding her pee was like watching a Old Faithful go off. I had to make sure she was a girl because I had never seen a girl pee straight up before. Well Done Takoma!

She is so precious!

We are now a family!

Here are the nurses that helped with the delivery. We have Becky to the far left

Jennifer on my right side, she was my nurse for the evening and we have Susan on
