Here are a few pictures of Maleaha I thought I would share

My First Bath!

I am so behind on blogging, it seems like every time I sit down to blog something happens and I have to leave it for another time. But Miss Maleaha loves her bath, and she didn't even cry her first time in the tub. She takes after her Mom with loving baths. She is now started to kick her little feet in the tub and loves to have the water trickeled on her, she just hates getting scrubed clean she just likes to sit back and relax!

Maleaha & Ryder!

A couple of weeks ago my best friend Kasey who had a little boy Ryder who is now three months old came over for a visit! Maleaha got to meet her first baby friend! It was fun to get together with our two little ones and compare is amazing how fast they grow! Ryder seemed so big compared to Maleaha only because I am used to looking at her little self all the time. Soon she will be just as big, and I will want her back to being little! but I also can't wait for Maleaha to start laughing and smiling like Ryder! He is such a little Stud and has a cute personality and the cutest laugh he wasn't too happy until after he ate and they were leaving, but I did get to hear a little laugh and got to see his sweet smile!

Here are some pictures they both started crying when we laied them down to get their pictures taken. But look how cute these two are! They will soon be best of friends!!

They were just fine until we moved them right next to eachother....

Then they weren't too happy....

They are so cute!

I can't believe that my baby Maleaha is already here, it came and went so fast, and it has now been a little over two weeks! I know I am a bad blogger, but I am finally going to post about my experience and show my cute baby girl off!

On Friday morning I had an appointment with my doctor, I was anxious to go, but figured I would get the same news I had gotten the past two times I had been in. That I was still the same and no big changes. My doctor decided that after checking me and I was still the same with no changes.... besides my blood pressure on the rise, that it would be best, if it was ok with me, if we induced me that day! I was all alone at the Dr.'s office that day, Jared was working so I had a big decision to make on my own! The doctor left and gave me a few minutes to think about it and decide what I wanted to do. He was telling me it was kind of risky if I was wanting to wait and go into labor naturally, and thats what I was most scared of. My biggest fear through this whole pregnancy was "How am I going to know when I am in labor. I don't even know what contractions are!" So with his advice and me wanting to get her out of me already I decided I was going to do it. So he called the hospital told me that they could get me in sometime on that Friday I just had to wait for them to call and let me know they were ready!

So after leaving the doctor I am a mess. I call Jared let him know what the doctor said and luckily he was home for lunch. I told him the hospital could call me at any time so he couldn't go back to work! Then I called my Mom who was gone to Arizona to visit my sister and her family and I just start bawling after I tell her I was going to have Maleaha that day! I was so excited, nervous, scared, almost every emotion at that time. I was a little sad my Mom wasn't there, but I thought my sister did it three times without Mom there I can do it too!

When I got home Jared was there, he couldn't believe that we were really going to have our baby sometime soon. I told him all about the doctor visit and the talk with my mom and sister. Then I almost forgot the most important thing FOOD! haha my doctor told me to eat something small because he didn't know how soon they would be calling me. So I told Jared, I have got to get something to eat, we ran down the street to McDonalds, got a coke and a snack wrap and I was satisfied, I knew I wouldn't be eating or drinking anything for a while so it was nice to have a big Coke! After a while the hospital still hadn't called me, so I called to see if they knew when I could come in. They told me at 4:00. So we had an hour of time to kill by then, and it drug on.

At 4:00 we get to the hospital and check in, get into the room and everything was happening so fast. I got changed into the bed, got asked a bunch of questions, and before I knew it they were starting me on patocin. They told me they would check me about every hour so an hour later I had only dilated 1cm to a 4 and the doctor came in and broke my water. Then he told me I could get the epidural any time so I was like I'll have it now! I got the epidural and it was fine, if I would have seen the needle I probably would have freaked out but I was surprised it didn't hurt at all and it worked very well I am so thankful for that!

After a while had past I get checked again and I was dilated to a 10. The nurse was surprised

and told me that we would wait probably one more hour and then start pushing. It was a little before 11:00 and on came all the lights. She started getting everything ready for the doctor, and explained to me what to do and as soon as I was starting to feel contractions or pressure I would be pushing.

I ended up pushing for about an hour and my beautiful baby girl was born at 11:53 that night.

It was such a great experience, I was so nervous about how labor was going to be, but it was fine! I couldn't feel a thing thank goodness for that epidural and it was super fast! I had a great husband there helping me push and counting for me, and my nurse was so nice and encouraging!

I did have a fever during labor which the doctors were pretty worried about, so after I held and got to be with Maleaha for about an hour they had to take her away and then they told me that she had to be in the NICU because she may have gotten an infection because of my fever.

Maleaha was in the NICU until Sunday. My friend Kristin from high school took care of her the first night and it made me so happy! I actually cried when I saw her in the room holding my little baby girl. She even put a cute bow in her hair and made sure she was well taken care of. She had to receive antibiotics to make sure the infection would be gone if there was one and then she would be out of there!

this picture is blurry but she got the cutest baby in the nursery!

Sunday Morning we were told her tests looked great and that she would be able to leave whenever I got discharged. It was a long day and I was ready but nervous to come home. We would be doing it all alone, with no help from the nurses and she was just so little! But we have made it a little over 2 weeks and we are doing great!

24 weeks

I am so dumb latley and I blame it on this pregnancy! I am only 24 weeks silly me!

34 Weeks!

I can't believe that I am already 34 weeks along! I finally feel like I can post a picture where I don't look just a little chubby I actually look pregnant! I think so anyways! I swear my belly gets bigger and bigger everyday, I am starting to get a little more uncomfortable at night time all I do is toss and turn... trying to find a comfortable position. Other than that I went to the doctor today and for the first time sence like one of my first few visits they had nothing bad to tell me! I was so happy! My blood pressure was normal, weight was good, urine sample was fine, and I am measuring right on the money the doctor told me today. I do have to do my glucose test next month and I am not looking forward to it. I just want to get it over with already, and now I am going to see that nasty drink sit in my fridge for an entire month! I can't complain to much about this pregnancy compaired to others mine has been pretty simple and easy! I am so thankfull for that, and hope that I continue to stay healthy. But one thing I will complain about is my heartburn! I hate it I never had it before being pregnant, but lately it has been like every single day, even if I don't eat anything hot or spicy, I get it especially at night. I am so thankfull for tums! I just love spicy food so its so hard not to eat things like that!
Besides being pregnant Jared and I are both staying busy with school and work. I am so exahusted from both! I have been working so much getting ready for the holidays. I am not excited to be working tons over the next two months, balancing school with work and being pregnant is hard, I am ready for a break from both! But I am ready for all the fun exciting holidays to come, this is my favorite time of year, besides the weather!

It's a... GIRL

Jared and I are so happy to tell all of you that we are having a baby GIRL! Yes, we will add another girl to the Mora side, but she will fit in so well with all of her beautiful girl cousins! I am so happy and couldn't be more excited to have a little baby girl! I know I told most of you that I wanted a boy, but I just kinda knew it was a girl, so I wasn't surprised when we were told that we would be having a girl! It took practicly the whole ultrasound to find out she was a girl because she was moving around so much, that we couldn't get a clear for sure shot of her. But finally she flipped just the right way and we got a clear picture that shows she is a girl! It was so amazing to watch the ultrasound, and actually kind of tell what she will look like, and now it is even more fun to picture what she looks like with a little help from these pictures. I already think she looks like her Daddy but can't waite to see her in person.

She moves around like crazy and everyday her kicks and punches get stronger and stonger. I just sit is awe watching my stomache move up and down all day, especially while I watch TV during the commercials ill just sit and watch my stomache when she is moving in there! I love getting a good punch from her she is always letting me know she is in there which I love. It is so fun experiencing all these different things while being pregnant, and it is so weird how much I already love her. At the ultrasound appointment they gave me a DVD of my ultrasound, and I could watch it everyday and never get bored with it! I am so excited and have been feeling pretty good besides some back pain and my tail bone bothering me! I can't wait to start decorating and finding cute baby things! We have yet to pick a name but the two that I like most are Maleaha not sure how we would spell that one, and Sophia so we will see Jared likes Maleaha and I love both, I am just not ready to say either one for sure, but you can let me know what you like better, or if you have any cute name ideas that would be helpfull too!

My Baby Girl!

Yup, she is definatly a Girl!

She looks like her Daddy in this one!

I love her!
