Blessing day and Misc....

Mea wore the dress my mom, my aunt, and myself wore when we were blessed!
Thanks for coming everyone!Mea and her friend Crew (Tyler & Ashley's boy)This is what happens when daddy takes pics.......So happy......And this is what happens when mommy takes pics :( hahaMeali'i's first cabin trip

Meali'i was so good on her blessing day. We were glad that she wasn't screaming during the blessing. That would have been horrible! We had fun seeing everyone and hanging out for the weekend! Meali'i is 7 wks today. She is getting big and chunky so fast. She smiles all day and loves when I give her to Jason! She concentrates so hard on his face, it's so cute! She's almost cooing. We can't wait for that!

Small Kine Pics

Here are a few pics taken by Meali'i's daddy :) Wassup everybody!!

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday dress!

Mauka (Mea's cousin)

Here are a few pics from the last 3 wks. I can't believe she will be a month old on Monday! It's going by fast and we are having a blast! I forgot to say how big she was when she was born. She was 7 lbs 2 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She is definately bigger than that now! She is eating all day long and is getting the cutest double chin! ha

Here she is!!

Well, she is finally here! I started having little cramps Sunday morning, but didn't really think anything of it. We went to church and they started getting much stronger. We decided to go to the hospital that night at 1:00 a.m. I got an epidural at 3:45 a.m., the greatest thing ever!! Things were progressing for the first few hours, but slowly. So they gave me pitocin at about 8:00 a.m. and that definately worked! I went from dilated to a 4 to a 9 in an hour. I started pushing at 9:30 and she was born at 11:21!!! As for her hair, we were just as shocked as you guys probably are. It is totally red, but it makes sense coming from Jason's family. She totally looks like Jason to me and I don't see any of my family in her so she's already a daddy's girl! We are so excited and know it will be a lot of work, but worth it! The #1 question....name!?!?! Well, we decided to go with Meali'i Ella A'alona. I will put more pictures up soon!

Baby Shower

Me & hubby on Valentine's Day

The cutest cake ever! I didn't wanna cut into it!

Jason's sisters, Chelsea & Alexis decorating onesies

Last Saturday my aunt and cousins threw my baby shower for me. I couldn't have asked for a better shower. The cutest part was everyone that came decorated onesies for me. It was in Vegas and I was 37 wks prego. We thought it was a success because my water didn't break or anything crazy! I am down to 12 days and Jason and I are soooo excited, we can't wait any longer! Jason is a little upset because this week is spring break and we are stuck in Cedar City because it's too close to my due date; however, we will try and make the best of it! For all you girls, I am dilated to a 2, 80% effaced, and she has dropped and in position! Doc doesn't think I'll go past my due date and he thinks it should be an easy delivery. Hopefully he is correct! P.S. The first pic is just a random one we threw in there :)

Random....

Hangin out in Vegas

Brotherly love......J and Kai at New Year's 31 wks

These are random pictures, but what the heck! Everything has been going well with us. Jason is doing good in school, getting anxious to be done and nervous to find a job, but we are trying to stay positive. We started birthing classes a couple weeks ago and we are loving it. They seem very helpful and believe it or not Jason enjoys them too. Actually this week I'm going to be out of town so I definately wasn't planning on Jason going by himself, but suprisingly he said to me the other day, "I think I need to be there"! He's so funny, but he is learning so much and doesn't want to miss anything. What a great and dedicated daddy already! Sorry about my boring belly pictures, but I always said I would keep posting them until I get lovely stretch marks! Sorry all you men, but it happens! But luckily I haven't gotten them....yet....hopefully...thanks to Jason and cocoa butter literally 2-3 times a day! I never really believed in it, but you never know!

Almost into 7th month!

Ok ok....I'm sorry for taking sooooo long to put up a new belly pic. Here's what happened. I lost my cord for my camera to put into the computer so I have to do my blog when I'm in Vegas and use my parents camera. I'll try not to go that long again! We had a great Thanksgiving with my family at the cabin. Jason and I had Jason's neice Moana (20 months) during Thanksgiving for 3 weeks and it was so fun! It got me ready for my own child, except I just hope ours is as easy as Moana is! I have been feeling great still and my tummy is getting bigger and bigger everyday!! I am excited that I hit double digits today and only have 99 days left until my due date!! Hope you all have a good and safe holiday and we will see some of you in Salt Lake soon!
