Here I am after a super yummy thanksgiving meal about 7 hours before my water broke.
Here's Ethan's long birth story for those couple of family members that were asking. My water broke at 1 am the morning after thanksgiving. The contractions started shortly after that, and at 6 am they were 3 minutes apart and I couldn't sleep through them, so off to the hospital we went. Unfortunately when we got in the car my contractions slowed down to 10 minutes apart, and by the time we got to the hospital my labor practically stopped. So I tryed some walking and other things to get it going again, but I was still progressing slowly. I was only dialated to a 4 after being at the hospital for 15 hours. The doctor said that Ethan was "LOP" (a posterior position) and that I probably would have progressed faster if he was anterior. So I agreed I should get a little help from pitocin. After just 2 hours of pictocin I was dialated to a 6 and was extremely exhausted and ready for some sleep! So I asked for an epidural, and was able to rest a little. The nurses had to keep increasing the pictocin because my body would get used to it and my labor would slow down again. Well by 6am the next morning I was finally dialated to a 10 and the nurse said I could try pushing. Then after 5 hours of exhausting pushing Ethan came at last. He was born at 11:15 am on November 28th. I am very grateful that the doctors were supportive of me to try for a VBAC. They were so patient with me and I was able to have a successful VBAC after all. Hurray!!!! Jarom did an amazing job as my coach, I was so glad he was there to help me through it all. We also had a wonderful doula who helped us throughout the entire labor and delivery.
Here I am with Ethan shortly after he was born. I felt like my eyes were going to pop out each time I pushed, and you can see how swollen they are. 
He weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long.
A very proud daddy.
We are so grateful to have him here. He is such a sweet baby. 
Kaleb wasn't able to visit us in the hospital room because of the whole swine flu thing, so I asked my mom & dad to bring him to the hospital as we were leaving and they let us visit in the waiting room before being discharged. Kaleb got to hold Ethan and kiss him for the very first time.
First time riding in his car seat.
Here he is at a week old. 
Kaleb's been such a good big brother to Ethan. Every now and then he would ask, "I hold baby" and he would snuggle with him and give him kisses. So sweet!! I love having two boys!!
Thanks for stopping in and visiting!!
A few of these sets are new, and a few are from a local consignment store. I couldn't believe that at some stores new pajama's can be as much as $15.00-22.00 a set. Yikes! Don't even get me started about how much shoes cost for a toddler. 
Anyways, I feel like I found some good deals though! 
It was playing in Spokane at the beginning of September and I figured it was a once in a lifetime chance. 
I couldn't believe he was actually going to perform live!! He's got to be close to 80 years old now, but he's still going strong!!! When he first stepped onto the stage the whole audience clapped and cheered so much that he had to wait to say his first lines. It was amazing to see him perform live!! 
(There's a good shot of my 32 week pregnant belly) After the dinner we went to play ping pong. 
It's hard to tell in the pictures, but I used two different shades of blue for the opposite walls. 
I couldn't find any nautical kids borders that I liked, so I decided to paint my own. 
It was a lot of work, but once I got started I was determined to finish. Painting the border was actually pretty fun. I felt like an artist with my paint pallet and brushes. 
We stopped at my friend Rachael's house on the way and got to visit with her family for a bit. Her son Kaden is the cutest little guy!! 
After visiting with Rachael, we headed off to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple for my cousin Mike's wedding. 
It was a beautiful wedding, and so much fun to visit with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins again.
After the reception we made the extra 4 hour drive to the Dickinson family ranch in Cedar city, after driving 6 hours earlier that day from Montana!! We got there at 2 in the morning and were very tired!!!! As you can see the Watts family reunion's are not very small. Jarom's Grandma & Grandpa Dickinson just finished building a beautiful new house at the ranch. We really enjoyed visiting with the family.
One day they planned a carnival for all the kids. Here's Kaleb with his carnival tickets. 
Jarom also did a bubble show for the whole family. 
We loved it!!
We also got to see the newest addition to the family. Jarom's older sister Rebekah just had her 2nd baby girl Kiah. Her she is with Jarom's mom.
We wish we could've stayed longer, but after a couple of days it was time to make the long road trip back home. On the way back we stopped at a hotel in Boise, ID. Kaleb enjoyed riding on the luggage cart. Don't you wish you could be small enough to do fun stuff like that again.
After driving 40 hours in 4-5 days we were all exhausted and promised each other there would be no more road trips!!! Well, that is until next year. 
Pregnant!! Yup that's right I am for sure...
PREGNANT!!! Hurray, we're so excited!! The news came as a bit of a surprise, since we weren't officially "trying", but we've been wanting to have another baby anyway so it worked out great. I've been having morning sickness, throwing up, and being tired and hot lately, you know, all the fabulous early pregnancy stuff. Unfortunately, we've already had a little scare of possibly losing the baby. So we've been hoping and praying that things will work out okay for this pregnancy. The good news is that we've had wonderful 
He's learned how the say ball, baby (although he always says babies), bath, book, (
He loves playing with his daddy. 
He also enjoys building towers with blocks and crawling up on as many things as possible. He's so much fun to have around and we feel so blessed to be his parents. 
Work is going good. It was a hard adjustment for Kaleb and I at first. Kaleb would get overstimulated easily, especially during our busiest and loudest times. He also had a hard time sharing Mommy with other kids, and used to cry each time I would leave for a minute to use the restroom. He's doing much better now, and barely misses me during bathroom breaks. It's been a bit hard on us both physically too. We've both been getting all kinds of sicknesses from the kids there. We've had cold after cold, and Kaleb just recently had pink eye. Now that we've been working there for awhile though we've adapted better, and Kaleb and I love playing there with all the other kids. There's also two other pregnant women that work there, so we like to chat about being pregnant and what not.
