10 month old baby !

First month with baby
I have a confession.
First month with the baby was the hardest experience I've experienced in a while. Let me explain.
First off I had to have a C-section and it was tough for me because I have never spent so much time in the hospital nor have I ever had surgery. Not only did I have to recover from major surgery now I had to care for a new life! :) A blessing that I'm very grateful for (we had been praying for a little one ever since we got married). All I'm saying is that having a C-section is a lot of pain and it takes much longer to recover from a vaginal birth. I've heard this from many women I know personally so I'm not just making this up.
The next reason why it was so hard is I think the first month you worry so much about the baby and you are new and constantly learning every day. I still am learning but now I'm more in a routine and Timothy has a much better schedule now. I am not complaning I am just being honest because truth be told this is the biggest change that's occured in my life besides getting married. It takes me a while to adjust to change but once I get it down I feel like I accomplished something great. I am so happy and proud of my hubby and I. We are raising a beautiful child, and living in our dream house. I am very thankful and I can't believe Timothy is about to be 4 months old in two weeks. :)
We love you so much Timothy and I love seeing your smiley happy face every day. Thanks for being such a good boy.
What a blessing
I am feeling so blessed to be a mother. I absolutely love it so much. Timothy is growing way too fast and I'm extremely happy that he is being such a good boy on most days.
I can't believe he weighs around 15 lbs and sleeps through the night. He has been sleeping through the night since he was about 2 1/2 months. I am really lucky that he is such a good happy baby on most days. He brightens my day and gives me a greater purpose on earth. I am so happy that I have a baby to spoil and love unconditionally. I sometimes think that I can't believe Heavenly Father trusted me with such a beautiful child. I continue to be amazed by watching my son grow and learn. I am so thankful that I can stay at home and raise him. I mainly have to thank my husband for that huge blessing. He works so hard for us and is always so loving and understanding to me. I don't think he realizes how much I love and appreciate all he does for us. I love being in love and having a sweet family.
Timothy is such a loved little boy and he has two set of grandparents that can't get enough of him. I am a lucky girl and Timothy is a lucky boy.
I know every mom says this but I truly mean it. My little son is such a handsome and loving boy. He is photogenic and modeling already at the age of 3 months.
Love you BUBS!

Running out of time
I can't believe I have six weeks left!!
Time has gone by super fast as of lately. The first months were definitely going slower than they are now.
I am kind of surprised that I am approaching the due date. I thought it would never be here. My baby shower is coming up and I am so excited. I am excited to see everyone.
I keep trying to imagine what Timothy will look like but I honestly have no idea. I just want him here already so I can hold him, squeeze him, and kiss his chubby cheeks.
I still have a huge list of things to get but I hope to get them all this month. We are running out of time but I know we will be fine.
:)
I will post some sweet pictures very soon.

Moving like crazy!
I am so excited that I can finally feel my baby more than little flutters. You can actually see the movement the baby is making in there. I think he's going to be an active busy little boy. I am so excited to meet this little guy.
This week Chris finally felt the movements I've been so eager for him to feel.
I'm glad to know that this pregnancy is finally getting close to my last trimester. WOO HOOO!!!!

Ultrasound pictures
The above ultrasounds were taken at 21 weeks.
Ultrasound at 18 weeks.
These are some of my favorite portraits that we have of our little guy already. He is too precious. I think he is going to be a little shy boy like Chris. At 18 weeks we went in to find out if we were having a boy or a girl and he wouldnt let us. That's why everyone kept telling us that we were for sure we were having a little modest girl. I felt like my predictions were being confirmed. But no! Its a little boy. I found out the sex at 21 weeks. I'm excited to finally know what we're having so we can start preparing the baby room and to shop for our babys things. EEKKKK I can't wait to shop till I drop. He is going to be spoiled. xoxoxox
Specialist visit
Okay so I dont know about you but going to specialist sounds very intimidating. I was so scared. I was just thinking in my head, gosh why can't I be normal like most of my friends and go to my normal dr and be done. But no I have to have this dumb high blood pressure issue.
To get an appointment I had to be referred by my Dr and the soonest they could get me in was two weeks. My appointment was this past Wednesday at 8 in the morning. How lovely!! I hardly slept the previous two nights because I had been working very hard on my final project for my art class. The good thing was that I found the place all by myself and that I was the first one there. I was very on time. :)
I waited for what felt like forever! SO annoying and I had to see about five or six different people. Finally, they called my name in and I went to the Ultrasound tech room first. Let me tell you it was so nice.. Big, and the lady that did all that was awesome. She took about 80 pictures with the ultrasounds and gave them all to me on a CD. :D I am very excited about that. She also told me what the sex is. I wasn't expecting to find out but I was super excited. So she found the babys legs and stufff.. and we're having a baby BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in complete shock since I honestly thought I was going to have a little girl. Thats okay though because we are going to have so much fun with either. I was super excited that I just wanted to call Chris (since he wasn't able to go with me :( ) , but I couldn't because it said not to use your cell phones in the room. He was sleeping anyways. Then, after the thirty minute ultrasounds the Dr came in and told me everything looks good. After that I got sent to a medical assistant where I had to wait another 20 minutes only so she could take my blood pressure and tell me it was a little too high... As soon as I finished with that lady she sent another Dr and he interviewed me about tons of things and questions. He then concludes to tell me he doesn't want to put me on medication yet. He told me that I need to come back in a week because I will get my blood drawn today and theyre going to check my blood work and urine. Greattttt! So there I go and wait another ten to fifteen minutes so I can get pricked. YUCK, I honestly hate needles with a passion. So the last thing that they did to me was take a little tube thing of my blood. Finally, I got home around ten and I got to wake up my hunnie and tell him that he is going to be a father to a cute little boy. Chris was supper happy and then we called everyone to let them know.
What do I have to look forward to next week?? Well I have my regular Dr appointment on Tuesday and then on Wednesday I have a check up at the specialist. WO HOOOO who doesn't love the Doctors office right? Nothing like wasting a couple hours of your day. I know that I'm having the wrong attitude but it's very annoying to have two appointments in a week. Im just venting right now but honestly I feel blessed and not to mention blessed to have a little boy on the way.

Ob visit num 3
It was all going great and then went a little downward.
We started out with the normal getting weighed, then going into the room with the nurse taking my blood pressure. At this point I knew I wasn't feeling good at all, like I said I had a very stressful day. I had to be on the dumb computer for seven hours for an online test, and then finish a project that took forever!!!!!! My headwas throbbing and I just felt sick. I just felt so worried and anxious so when the nurse told me that my blood pressure was very high and it wasn't good I wasn't surprised. I was sad, upset, and I didn't like the news at all. Then they checked the babys heart beat and I felt much better when they told me that the baby was doing good. Once the Dr came into the room he told me that I need to come back in a week so he can check up on me and my blood pressure, and then if things remain the same I need to go on a specialist. GREAT! just what I want to hear. Anyways so after he told me that it was Ultrasound time. WOOO HOOOO. My parents and sister came to find out with us. They came into the room and the doctor started looking for the baby and then we saw it :D
The baby was moving around like a little shrimp or sea horse. I was so happy to see it moving around and active. He pointed out the spine, thigh bones, the head and the heart. The baby was in a position where we could not see what the sex of the baby is. BUmmer. We were all very excited but my baby was facing down and on the ultra sound we got just a side view. I have to admit I kind of went in there thinking we might not see what it is and that's okay it won't be the end of the world. Plus there's always next time.
So our Rudd baby decided to be stubborn and not let us see what it is. My next appointment will be december 20th, so we might find out then I dont know.
We sill love you Rudd baby even though your being a little stubborn :P

Week 13 & 14
Have been very busy.
Im trying to stay up to date with all the activities going on and my house wifely duties.
Im feeling much better for the most part and havent had an incident in over a week! I have to admit that I've been pretty lucky to have been this fortunate to not get sick as often as some girls do. Im so thrilled about getting over my first trimester. I feel awesome and Im excited to have entered the second trimester.
I honestly feel huge already but I know Im not because I can still wear the stuff I was wearing right before I got pregnant. I just can see my stomach rounding out and im looking a little more prego day by day.
I haven't posted any pictures of me yet because I don't feel so pretty and I've been feeling pretty crummy about myself. (Which honestly is a new thing to me) But I went shopping and found three neww things that are going to help me in the fall/winter season. I got a very good deal at ross so that defidently helped me get even more excited about what I was buying. I bought be two dressy long shits, and a grey/black stripped dress that's very comfortable.
But I will post a few pictures that I like of myself.
Basically week 13 and 14 went too fast and I have been trying to get used to sleeping on my back or sides from now on because I know it's easier if I get used to it now and prepare myself for the future.
Throughout these weeks I've notice smells don't bother me as much, and Im not as tired throughout the day, I can see I've gotten some more of that energy I've been missing and I've been doing much better with my daily chores.
I must keep thanking my amazing husband for being so sweet and patient with me each and every day. He has been so helpful and loveable. He knows that I have a hard time being in the kitchen so he has no problem going in there and making dinner almost all by himself. He is such a good husband. Baby Rudd and I are very lucky to have Chris in our lives.
Did I mention we find out the sex of our baby the week of THANKSGIVING :)
We are so happy

Future grandparents
My parents have been hilarious throughout this pregnancy.
This is going to be their first grandchild and they can't wait. They are being so awesome and helpful. I have been having so much fun because I do kind of take advantage of the situation because I love being spoiled. They take such good care of me and I absolutely love every minute of it.
When we first told my family (the day after we found out) they couldn't believe it. I don't know why but they were shocked. I told Chris we should bring the pee stick because my family will want to see it. He thought that was weird but obviously he doesn't know how weird my family is. Ha ha.
My dad really really wants a boy and honestly Chris and I don't care what this baby is. We want it to just come out healthy. I just happen to think that I have a girl growing inside of me.
My mom is so excited she can't stop thinking or talking about it. She has already bought some small toys and little nick nacs. She cracks me up. A few weekends ago she showed me this Yellow SHOE she attempted to make by crocheting it but since she doesn't really know she only was able to make one and then didn't remember how to make the other one. HA HA!! She's soo adorable I love my parents so much.
I know they are going to spoil our baby crazy. Im so excited to see what Rudd baby is going to look like and be like.

I think this babys parents are crazy
DO you think buying a crib when you're about two months pregnant is too soon. Maybe?
But you'd be impressed with our shopping skills. We weren't planning on doing it so soon but we saw it at Target, we loved it, and got it for a fifth of the price it originally was.
I will post a picture very soon because I am so excited about our sweet deal. Chris had this huge smile on his face and wanted to call both our moms so we did.
I love my husband he's so smart and I know he'll be the worlds best father in the future. Thank you baby for the AWESOME idea although at first I was hesitant because I think it's a little too soon. You know whats best for our family and I appreciate your love.
Its a 4 in 1 crib, dark wood, and a good brand. What else do I want?

I DISLIKE SMELLY PERFUMES OR COLOGNES.
OH my GOODNESS!!! I dont know what to do about this current situation. My smell senses are crazy. I know its normal because I've read about it and my friends tat have been pregnant tell me that its the hormones. The only thing I can is just deal with it. Its honestly driving me nuts.
I want to kindly hold a sign that says please please please keep your smelly perfumes to a minimum because I will throw up on your face. That'll be my disclaimer to them. Ha ha . Truth is I havent thrown up yet, however Ive wanted to like almost every day. I dont feel so great sometimes and I dont feel like myself. I am trying very hard to smile and be happy but I didn't think it would be this hard. The fatigue is killing me. I need so much sleep and I need more time in my day to get all my things done. I am praying so hard that everything will work out because I dont want to be stressed or worry all those around me. I am being taken very good care of. Most people that Im close to are being sensative to me and putting up with my moodiness, but its the strangers in the class, store, work, anywhere!!!
Let me give you an example. Tuesdays and Thursdays I have a very interesting class That I take from 7:30 till 9:00, and I sit to this very cute nice girl. I think she's super nice and friendly to me so I get along with her. Well yesterday in the middle of class she whips out her strong peachy flavored lotion and puts it all over her hands. I wish I was brave enough to kindly ask her to please not do that because it makes me want to barf and my senses are very sensative. I dont think I will and I think ill just wait until it happens again and if I feel so bad Ill just have to tell her im prego and so on.
Today - this guy walks in with his CHEAP COLOGNE that hits me in the face as soon as he walks in. Ewwwwww it doesnt even smell good at all.
Hopefully I survve my first trimester without choping someones head off.
I will be patient and smile. I am very thankful for my family, husband, and baby. Right now its just hard to take in being pregnant, working, school, being, sick, and being a descent housewife.
I know i'll get through I just need to get used to this. :P
I need to go to the temple soon. I need a girls night.

Sensative Perla
Right now I am very sensative. I will cry just about every day for no reason. I will catch myself driving home and feeling all kinds of sad because my husband is working. Or because I don't feel so good I start crying a little bit. It kind of makes me laugh because I know it's silly and I can't really help it.
Lately i've been having appetite issues. It's hard for me to find things I actually want to eat. Nothing looks good, I am hungry but it takes me forever to figure out what to eat. I can't believe this is happening to me. I've never been picky in my life until now. Ha ha.. It's okay though today I feel like I'm doing a lot better.
Something driving me nuts recently are .. SMELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can feel like im going to throw up if I smell something that bothers me. I dont like those strong food smells. Im sure this is weirding Chris out. Sorry babe, I wish I didnt have to be so sensative right now but hopefully I get through the first trimester and it gets better.
Now dont get me wrong I am so happy to be pregnant. It has been the best blessing we've received. I am very grateful and I dont think it could've happened at a better time. I am counting my blessings every day :)
Something to look forward to:
Next next Tuesday we made an appointment and Chris will go with me !!!! Im so excited for him to see an ultrasound for his first time. Its the coolest thing I have seen. Ill post every detail about that appointment.
Love you my Rudd baby <3

OB visit
Was very scary and nerve racking for me. I had to go all by myself which made me even more nervous. I wanted Chris to be next to me so bad. I didnt know what they were going to do and what I would be finding out. I was so excited all day and I couldn't wait for it to be 2:00 pm. This was my very first visit to the OB and this doctor as well . So it was a day of firsts. I had so many things running through my head and so many questions I wanted to ask him.
My doctors name is Dr. Tutt and his office is right by my house. I will be delivering at the hospital right of the freeway and highley. I am soooooo excited!!! His entire staff were awesome and very welcoming. As soon as I walked in I felt so good about it. I filled out all the paper work and time went by relatively fast. The nurse did the normal things before the doctor comes out and then he asked me some questions. Since im irregular and I wasnt sure at all about how far along I was he used a transvaginal ultrasound and he took a cute little picture of my baby bean. He took pictures of it and gave me one!! And this baby already is gorgeous. Ha ha Just kidding I cant tell yet but Im sure the baby is. Then he told me that I was about 6 weeks along. Honestly, I wish I was further along because I can't wait to meet our baby. Im so excited to be a mom and raise a child that looks like us. Our families are very excited for us to have our first child.
So then I asked him some questions and he explained to me some things that I needed to know and then he did some other things and told me that I would come back in two weeks to hear the heart beat :) I made sure the next time I scheduled it my husband would be able to make it. I will post an update to what we find out then.
I honestly was amazed by how awesome technology is and seeing the baby on the ultrasound. Although I can't see much it was a great feeling to find out Im really pregnant and that so far the babys doing great! I will keep doing what I have to do so that it will all work out.
I will be doing blood tests and doing all the fun pregnant things at the next appointment. YAY!!
I will post the ultrasound once I get a chance to scan it.
My doctors name is Dr. Tutt and his office is right by my house. I will be delivering at the hospital right of the freeway and highley. I am soooooo excited!!! His entire staff were awesome and very welcoming. As soon as I walked in I felt so good about it. I filled out all the paper work and time went by relatively fast. The nurse did the normal things before the doctor comes out and then he asked me some questions. Since im irregular and I wasnt sure at all about how far along I was he used a transvaginal ultrasound and he took a cute little picture of my baby bean. He took pictures of it and gave me one!! And this baby already is gorgeous. Ha ha Just kidding I cant tell yet but Im sure the baby is. Then he told me that I was about 6 weeks along. Honestly, I wish I was further along because I can't wait to meet our baby. Im so excited to be a mom and raise a child that looks like us. Our families are very excited for us to have our first child.
So then I asked him some questions and he explained to me some things that I needed to know and then he did some other things and told me that I would come back in two weeks to hear the heart beat :) I made sure the next time I scheduled it my husband would be able to make it. I will post an update to what we find out then.

Belly Oils & Cream
Thanks to one of my best friends in the world I was able to get some good advice about creams and oils for the prevention of stretch marks. Candice suggested I go to Hi-Health and get their JASON brand oil and cocoa butter.
I had no idea they sold those types of things but it makes sense because it has supplements and supplies for beauty and health. I had gone straight from class to the Hi health and I was so excited because I have been wanting to go get some goodies from there since I found out about the baby baby. I want to take care of my skin so that I wont be left with tons of stretch marks. I am willing to sacrifice anything but I am going to take care of myself and be smart.
I can't wait to use my oil and cocoa butter tonight.
I highly recommend going there if you want some of this good belly stuff. It's better to start getting use to this now than doing it too late when Im too big.
I am so excited I just want to go home and try it on. I know I am getting excited ove nothing but it's my first purchase to the baby baby. :) I didnt even have to spend as much a I thought. I thought it would be at least $30.00 but I spent half that much. I love it when I round up and end up spending much less.

First weeks...
Baby baby!!! You make me so tired already ;)
My body is not use to all these hormones and body changes I'm experiencing. I've been getting so much advice, help and support with my pregnancy. As much as I love it I am exhausted. Sleeping for me has been one of the hardest things. I have so many emotions running through my mind. I have so much to do and I don't know where to begin. I need to just relax and take a deep breath.
I haven't gotten sick persay but I have days where Im not feeling too hot. The other night I was so tired and my body was soar but I just couldn't wind down. My stomach was hurting i was tossing and turning but I am lucky enough to have a caring husband that will do anything to comfort me and bring me water-even though we're both dead tired from our long hard working days.
The previous 2 weeks though I had been having some pretty serious heartburn. YUCK! I hate that feeling. I dont like that horrible taste in your mouth that you get. I've been eating crackers and fruit to help me with the horrible after taste. Honestly though besides that it hasnt been too bad. Every now and then I get super sleep. So sleepy I have to try and pretend to sleep with my eyes open. O JOY!
To top it off as soon as I found out I was pregnant is the same day I started school. I have over done it for this semester. I signed up for five classes, working in an office, and doing photography. WOW!!! I am excited for the semester to be over already. The good thing is that I know this will make the semester fly by and that means being close to have my baby baby. <3 This week since I can still get a full refund I decided to drop my least favorite class because of the teacher. She made it very easy for me to decide. I was sitting at work thinking and thinkin about my baby. I was thinking about what is best for the future and what is more important to me. I seriously had this knot in my stomach because I knew this was going to be very rough on my body. So I talked things over with Chris and we taked about my classes but then it didnt become clear until the next day. I could almost feel the weight lifted off my shoulders and a good feeling come through my stomach. That's how I knew I had made the right decision to take it down to four classes. :D The roughest days I have in monday and wednesday, im going 9-7 straight with no break. But the rest will be a piece of cake. I am being smart and eating in the morning, having lots of good snacks with me, and then eating once I get off. I am getting the hang of it.
I am lerning what I can and can't eat. The Do's and Dont's . It is tough. Never in my life have I wanted sushi as bad as I want it right now. Ha ha . I have never hd it but just because I know I can't thats why Im tempted. Im being very strong and trying to do everything for my baby. I am drinking so much water, fruits, veggies, and the prenatals.
Here's the purpose of this blog is:
1. To record, for journal purposes.
2. For Chris and I
3. For family and friends
4. And of course for my baby baby.
I hope this blog also informs others about pregnancy and all the fun things it comes with.
Love you BABY BABY

To our future baby girl or boy,
We love you so much !!!
We found out we were pregnant with you on my birthday (August 15th) and honestly it's the best present Ive ever had. Im so excited to have you and raise you. I love children so I just know that having a kid of my own will come kind of naturally to me.
Your father and I get on our knees every night and thank the Lord for the oppurtunity to bring children into this earth, we pray that you will be born healthy and strong . We also pray for us to be prepared and be good parents.
As soon as we found out we were pregnant we were so happy that we couldnt stop smiling. I had told some of my best girl friends so they could help me out with some advice about being pregnant or not. I have to say your mother is blessed to have the the friends that she has & family. They are always willing to talk and give me some awesome advice.
Your dad and I promise to give you everything we have, to raise you right, and to give you unconditional love. I love you so much already my baby. I can't wait to meet you my little angel. WE love you and want these months to go by sooo fast!
I will do anything to make you come to us safe and healthy.
I am so thankful for this oppurtunity to be pregnant and create a baby.
We love you tons
Sincerly,
Your parents
