Utah State Fair 09

So before all this baby stuff happened we went to the state fair. It was a lot of fun! We got some pulled pork stuff for dinner (wasn't that great..) and Oakley got a HUGE $6 corn dog! Then we headed over to the animals and Oakley rode on a pony, which she didn't want to get off of. We walked around after that then decided to go see if there were any rides that she could go on and she picked out the little train ride. She was so excited and Dylan and I were kind of sad to see her go on it all by herself! She is getting so big! Where has the time gone?! We then went and got corn on the cob and it was soooo good! All in all it was a good day! Can't wait for next year!!

Pictures from the hospital!

-Kane Timothy Miller-

He's finally here! Kane came on September 19, 2009 at 3:13 am. Here's how things went:

-Early Friday morning I had a doctor appointment and he checked me, said I was a 3, stretched me to a 4 and stripped my membranes. Man that hurt!

-4:30 that afternoon I started having contractions and I was getting way excited but I didn't want to get my hopes up because I've had false labor so many dang times! I waited at my mom's until about 8:30 then decided to go to the hospital because I started bleeding a little bit. (Because of him stripping my membranes) When I got to the hospital they hooked me up to the monitor and checked me and I was at a 4+ then waited an hour and came in and said that today was my lucky day and Dr. Ward was going to break my water! Yippy!

-10:15 pm he came in and broke my water then I waited in my room for a little bit and decided I was bored so I got up and started walking and man oh man that did some work! I couldn't wait any longer and got my epidural. 30 minutes later the nurse checked me and said "Oh ya you're ready!" I thought he was going to fall out of me while I was waiting and the doctor finally walked in. I did a test push and then they got things ready and I pushed 3 times and at 3:13 am Kane was here! He practically slid out! But he weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. and was 21 inches long. He had no complications for being so early (36 1/2 weeks) and I was able to hold him right after they cleaned him up. He's so tiny and perfect and we are so blessed to have him in our lives now! We love you Kane!

A new addition!

We officially have a pet! Haha we got a fish! Actually 2! Dylan's mom had gotten Oakley this little fish tank for Christmas and we finally put it together and went and picked out two little gold fish. We asked Oakley what she wanted to name them and she said "Scubbers" haha so we have Scubbers and Scubbie! Dylan and I are hoping they don't die on us and he's terrified that Oakley is going to be devistated if they do but I know she won't understand. So for now this is our first set of fish!

Fatherly Love!

Dylan is the best daddy I think a little girl could ask for. Dylan was gone for the first 9 months of Oakley's life and I think he has made up the time perfectly! She adores her daddy and I love watching them together! They are always laughing and playing and he is the first one to get her if she ever starts crying. Oakley totally has him wrapped around her little finger and he'll pretty much give her anything she wants haha! But I couldn't ask for a better husband and father to my kids. He's the best! I love you baby!

Beecher Family Campout

Every year the Beecher side of the family goes on a campout. Its probably what I look forward to the most each summer! We go tubing down the river (This year I couldn't go because I was pregnant..bummer..) and we have now made a family tradition of having a glow stick parade, kinda weird but so fun! We get hundreds of glow sticks and dress eachother up and go walk through the camp ground and sometimes we even get people that cheer for us. Its pretty funny. Then we always have a yummy dutch oven dinner the last night and its soooo good! Oh I love camping! OH! and this was the first year that Dylan was able to come with us! He loved every minute of it!

Guess I should update!

Well I am now 28 weeks pregnant! At my last doctors appointment he said he would induce me between the 6th and 10th of October so that Dylan could have everything scheduled with work. (Thats if I don't go sooner!) But I'll be staying down with my parents for the last couple weeks incase that does happen and I won't have to deliver in the icky Rock Springs hospital.
More exciting news! Dylan and I have talked about buying a house down in the Bountiful/Centerville area because this is where we want to be for a while. Dylan will still work up in Rock Springs and just come down on his weeks off. Hopefully it will save us some money because Rock Springs is so dang expensive and it will be nice to be closer to family and friends again!
And little miss Oakley! Oh goodness! That little girl is growing up too fast! She amazes us everyday with all the things she's learning. She is understanding more and more that she is going to have a little brother and she comes and says hi and good morning to him everyday then gives him a big kiss! Its so cute! At the moment she is obsessed with Elmo's World and Yo Gabba Gabba! (Stupidest show in the world but it keeps her entertained) Without fail we watch at least 5 episodes a day... lol But its ok!
