Shellie Pictures...More to come soon!

Here's some more pictures of our Family! I promise I'll write about her birth story very soon! My to do list is VERY long and I am oh so tired and sore....

Hospital

Just a chillin. This is the second day. I don't dare put a picture of me from the first day. You can literally see through my skin I am so pale from so much blood loss. So here's to the second day!

Emry meeting his baby sister for the first time. He absolutely loves her and can't stop kissing "baby"

Hugs for baby sister

Day we came home from the hospital. She SOOO does not fit in the seat. She is so stinking small! This peach outfit is what I cam home from the hospital in. It almost fits her despite the pound differences in our birth weights

Daddy and Shellie. Shellie looks like my mom in this picture

Baby feet

Sleeping Angel

After her first sponge bath. She SO doesn't like baths yet...

Emry Loves kisses for shellie "baby"

Shellie Lynn Anderson

She's arrived! We have a long story to tell but I can't keep my eyes open so for now here are a couple pictures until I get more downloaded.

She arrived Friday morning the 13th. She's perfect and we now have our very own lucky charm.
We had an emergency C-section to get her out but that's part of our long story. she's 6 pounds 9 oz and 19 in. big for 2 weeks early.

her first picture


eyes open

YEA BABY!!!

HAAHA ya you all thought I would be saying we finally had the baby but sadly I know she will be staying in. Even though I REALLY REALLY want her to come out and Wednesday would be perfect so if you could pray for that we'd appreciate it! HA

Anyway at the end of April a few of my girlfriends did a baby shower for me and it was so much fun! These are the only pictures I have since I didn't bring my camera.

This last weekend was my college graduation from Utah State University. It was a really long day but so much fun! We got lots of errands done including getting my ring fixed just in time for my hands to be so swollen I can no longer get it on and off :( We also went out to Golden Corral for lunch before hand since It's been Devin's choice for a long time now....someday I'll make it back to Iron Gate Grill...oh the monkey bread!

The best part of the whole day was Emry! My side finished reading their names but the other side was still going. Luckily I was on the very end of my row(good thing because the chairs were very close together and a 9 month pregnant lady would not have fit well next to all the Tongons surrounding me!)Anyway I told Dev he could let go of Emry and let him come to me because he of course was saying mom mom mom mom mom thee entire ceremony. He ran to me, it was so adorable. Jumped into my lap, gave a big hug, turned around and jumped off before I had time to catch him. I thought he was running back to daddy but at the last second he veered right and ran onto and across the stage!!! MY LITTLE GRADUATE! oh i almost died laughing as did thee entire front of the crowd. Seriosly the best part of the day. I love my little baby boy. Except he's not little anymore :(

That's all I can think of that's been happening.....next post will be welcoming our baby girl to this world!!!

36 Weeks and counting....

So I apparently suck at blogging and pictures. I just found Christmas pictures on my camera? Have a seriously been that busy or lazy? Anyway it was fun to go through all the video's and pictures of christmas and Emry's birthday and this Easter.

This was christmas making our first house together. Yes Devin put a snowmobile on the roof out of licorace. First he's carving them into pumpkins, then on my gingerbread houses next he'll be making birthday cakes!

Only picture I got with him looking at the camera. This the Easter egg hunt in Green River that was way crowded and Em got one egg before I stopped him from going into the crowd. I was terrified of him getting trampled by all the ADULTS pickin up the eggs! UGH

As I talked about before here is the crib we got because of the recall. I haven't decorated her room yet but at least it's painted and the crib is put together! Yes I did it ALL by myself too.

I was having a horrible day. Not just bad but the worst day I had had in months. Emry was frustrating me so much, my body hurt, I just wanted to cry and ended up yelling at the top of my lungs in the bathroom. Yes I scared Em and he came running to see if I was ok. Then hit me. BAD DAY!!! I finally got Em to go to sleep and laid down myself to take a much needed nap( I think I was at 60 hours of no sleep at this point), DING DONG! UGH I was soooo mad. it happened just when you are about to be dead asleep so of course you can't go back to sleep. I didn't get it and ended up talking to my sister who told me I should go check the door. I did and this is what I found....

She sent me tulips! No she didn't predict that I was going to have a horrible day that day it just happened to be perfect! That's why we're sisters and best friends. So I cried and it made the day a little better, well until Emry woke up and proceeded to hit and kick me and make life more miserable anyway he knew how. Oh well I love my tulips!!!!

Emry running across Grandma Shinrock's yard on Easter morning. It took a lot of convincing to keep him picking up his eggs and treats. He really just wanted to play play play. We celebrated Easter in Utah this year with my mom. It was fun and Devin and I were able to spend Saturday together for our Anniversary(sealing). We went to Draper temple, Ikea, Texas Roadhouse, and a few more errands. The day was VERY VERY long but worth it to spend that much time alone with Devin.

I am 34 weeks in this picture. She has dropped drastically since this picture. I still feel huge! I am now 36 weeks. 3 Weeks to go. We're inducing on May 20th in Utah. I can't wait. Yes I am literally counting the days and marking them off on my calendar. We have had a lot of things we've been trying to get done. Now that sledding season is over, Devin has been able to get a few things done on the house which means I have been able to get more done on the house. I am really close to being able to decorate shellie's room, though I should probably do Emry's first. We have a little more painting to do upstairs and a ton of touch ups and then all our big projects will be done! We're not messing with finishing the yard this year,. Devin build a makeshift fence to keep the kids on the grass and in eyesight when they play outside. That's all I care about. We're excited for more sun, and less wind so we can roast marshmellows and enjoy our backyard. Someday we'll have a BBQ grill.....

Coming up is my baby shower this weekend(Thank you Ali and Leslie!) and the next weekend is graduation in Logan. After that it's two weeks of torure of nothing to do but wait for baby day.

I think I have caught myself up now(as far as I remember) which isn't much these days!

Something NEW!

So I just had to relay my good news! So last summer we bought a used crib at a garage sale and slowly have been sanding it so we can restain in NOT RED. After about 24 hours of work put into this crib, I decided maybe I should look up recalls again. Yup it was recalled! Oh so much work down the drain! BUT I was able to take it to Walmart and after hours of pleading with them they exchanged it for a new crib. It's not quite as nice as the one we got at the garage sale but holy cow its new!!! I don't have to paint it or sand it or do anything!!! We haven't had anything at all new for babies(except Emry's Mattress) so its sooooooo nice to have something pretty and new for once! Once I have it put together I'll start decorating Shellie's room and get some pictures up!!! YAYYYY!!!

So I have needed to update my blog for while with something interesting but I just don't seem to really want to be on the computer much but here you go. We've had a few things going on recently but nothing too interesting. We'll start with some pictures:

Daddy and Emry goofing around after church. Daddy is so proud of his thug man! This picture is growing on me!

We got to celebrate Emry's birthday with some of his friends. He did great at blowing out his candle!!

This picture seems really weird but Emry is giving baby sister Shellie(we think her name is) kisses. It was really cute and I look really really big here. I was probably 29 weeks here.

This last weekend I was able to do the Bountiful Baskets that a friend told me about. This is the food we got for 15 bucks! I was impressed. I have already used the spinach and tried the grapefruit and mango. Things I would never ever buy or normally try. I'm excited to make the asparagus for Em tonight and as soon as I remember to buy flour at the store I'll be making zuccini bread. Hopefully we like it. It was also fun to go and volunteer at the event. I have NEVER gone to do something by myself since Emry was born! It was nice to be alone and actually doing something none errand like!

IT'S COMING!

May 7th I finally get to graduate from college FOR REAL!!! I finished my class yesterday though classes don't end until May 5th. I am anxiously awaiting my diploma to be in my hand!!!

Devin and I celebrated 3 years yesterday! We went out to our favorite restaurant on Saturday and spent the whole day doing fun things for us and Emry. It was AMAZING to actually have Devin home on a Saturday! I can't wait for snow season to go away, granted it means that he'll have to start working on trucks and I STILL won't see him but at least he won't be gone alllllll day long hours away!

In the next couple weeks we'll celebrate our Temple anniversary as well. Hopefully we'll actually get to go since we pretty much haven't gotten to go since that day. My awesome friends are throwing me a baby shower at the end of April so I have that to look forward to as well. Then Graduation then I'll be staying the final 2 weeks of pregnancy in Utah. We're inducing on May 20th! It's nice to have a day to look forward to! I am 32 weeks almost right now. Hopefully it goes by fast!

Oh I was able to get Emry's room all painted up this last week too. It literally was a 5 day project for me. Man were my arms hurting after all the taping and prep work, then the actual painting. Now we just have to finish the crib and the one hundred little craft projects on my list and we'll be ready for baby! That's all for now....
