Ava’s Video

This is my first attempt at making a video. I know it's a little rough, but I've had my computer for about a year now, and I'm just now learning how to use it. So please bear with me as I piece everything together. This video is of my pregnancy, and birth of our baby girl Ava. Don't worry, there aren't →


Wecome: Ava Coleen Tyler

Wednesday evening, Chris and I checked into St. Rose Sienna Hospital for my induction at 7:30pm. I began my Cervidil at about 9pm and let it work through the night. At about 2:00am I got Dilaudid for pain, after that, I didn't feel a thing! I got my epidural at about 4 or 5am, and I literally couldn't feel it →


The time has come….

Today was my final Dr. Appt with my OBGYN, and I have an induction date. TOMORROW NIGHT, @ 7:30pm at St. Rose Sienna Hospital??!!! I was NOT expecting to go this early, It's only about a day earlier than I thought, but it's still a shock. Trying not to panic, getting really excited to see our little girl..... I want it →


Ready or not…. Here she comes!!!

As I creep closer and closer to the end of my pregnancy, I am beginning to feel the anxiety of birth. I just finished the chapter in "What to expect when you're expecting",  and it only took me about 3 weeks to get through the chapter that talks about the labor and birth. I was only able to handle about →


Kankles

I'm not trying to gross anyone out with a huge photo of my feet, but I think it's necessary to show a picture of my swollen feet and ankles to clearly demonstrate exactly my point. My body is jacked up. I've got about 5 weeks to go, and I'm having a serious case of edema. In the last 4-5 days, my →


My Baby Shower

On Tuesday of this week, my friends Kari and Amy threw me a baby shower. Kari hosted the party at her house, as she is the hostess with the mostess. Everything looked great. When I walked in there were sooo many ladies there so celebrate with us, and the decorations looked awesome! It made me feel so good to see →


33 Weeks Pregnant……UGH

HEY!!! WHO'S CALLIN' ME CHUBBY AND SWOLLEN??!!!!  oops, oh that's right...that was me! :)


27 Weeks and counting…

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be feeling like at 27 weeks. However, it's more weird than I ever imagined in my mind that it would be. She's moving around all the time, and sometimes it genuinely startles me because I forget she's in there. It's the strangest sensation to feel her roll across or to watch my →


Baby Room….Officially started….

In the past, Chris and I have been NOTORIOUS for going crazy with our little house projects. Really, I can say that this has been no different. From the exact time we started, to the time we finished, it had only been about 24 hours. In that time we completely assembled all baby furniture, prepped and painted the ENITRE room, →


It’s Official!!

After obsessing about the outcome, having dreams about that final moment before they tell you..... .....It's OFFICIAL........ WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE MARTITA RUNNING AROUND OUR HOUSE......THAT'S RIGHT..... WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!!!!!! Now I know that is a random ultrasound photo...but I thought it was so cute and lets be honest. She unfortunately still looks a little bit like an alien at →


M.I.A.

I know it's been awhile since I've written anything. I try to keep up on all this because it's my only way of journaling, and I've been a bit of a slacker. I've been busy with my 2 church callings. In the same week I was called as the new Cub Scout Bear Leader, and also to the Ward Activities →


Shocker of the Year

I know many of my friends and family will probably die when they hear that Chris and I have decided to take that final HUGE step into adulthood......a.k.a....... parenthood, so make sure you're sitting down. Here it is people. Chris and I are pregnant!!! After 8 1/2 years of being together, we are finally going to have a family that →
