Oh and I forgot....

I forgot to post these pictures a while back.
Here is a picture of Brooklyn right after she had to get her blood drawn due to the swine flu. It was so sad :(


Also on Thanksgiving day Santa visited the Budge home and brought some presents for all the kids. At first Brooklyn did not know what to think of a white bearded man dressed in a red suite.

But then I told her He was going to bring her presents on Christmas day and she loved it.

Have a very Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas

Wow, I cant believe how fast this year has gone by especially these past few months. Even though we were down for a couple of weeks in the month of November due to the swine flu, but we all survived and got right back in to the holiday season and were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. This year was full of adventure, in March we were able to take a cruise to Mexico. In May we were deeply saddened by the passing of our wonderful father and grandfather Robert Budge, we cant wait till we can reunite with him in the life to come. In August we became parents to our beautiful daughter Brooklyn who we just adore and love so much, she is such a joy to have around and brings much happiness to the family. In September we were able to move in to a Home and just love the extra space and privacy of being home owners. In October we became annual pass holders to the happiest place on earth (Disneyland) and enjoy going about twice a month. Brooklyn is so alert now and just loves to be out and about. In November Cindy came down to visit and we were able to enjoy her company. My sister Lindsay was also able to take a break from her busy life and spend a few months in California. I will be so sad when she goes back to Utah. I will miss just calling her to come right over for a photo shoot with Brooklyn. Well during this Christmas season we hope you reflect upon our Savior and His birth. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Stay away we're sick

Now knows how my baby feels and what her symptoms are. Major headach and fever , chest pains, Hurts to breathe, body achs, deep chest cough even though it feels lie nothing is in there, hurts to cough. And her Dr. said it was a stuffy nose, this feels more like flu to me. I just wonder how she is survivng, even though she is sick she still can let out a smile or a coo every once in a while when she gets her strength back. i just want to ball up in fetal position and cry. Please pray for us.

A lady came up to us and said oh this must be the first time out with the baby let me take your picture, to bad I was so concerned about getting the food out of my teeth. Oh well. Well we have survived two weeks home with the baby. I can't believe how fast time is flying. After dinner we went to Sam's club to pick up diapers wipes and formula. WOW. Your life really does change once you have kids. Well it was a wonderful anniversary. I am so happy I have eternity with my Family.

Our Princess

Delivery Day

39 wks 5 days

Well as you guys have all been waiting for, details. So on Tuesday Aug. 11, 2009 I checked in to the hospital at 8:00pm. They stared me on a cervix softener the whole night and nothing really happened except I dilated to 2cm. The next morning around 8:00am they started me on pitocin(if that's how you spell it) and then the Dr. came in and broke my water(which was the weirdest feeling) after that things started happening so fast the contractions came closer together and so much more stronger. Around 12:00pm I couldn't take the pain any longer so I got an epidural, about that time I was dilated to 4 cm. After the epidural kicked in I got to take a nap for two hrs until I woke up in pain and feeling so sick. First thing I thought is, you are not supposed to feel anything once you get the epidural, and i was feeling every contraction, second, I felt so sick I had to throw up(which I did). So i called the nurse to see what was going on, once she came in she checked me and was like oh my gosh you are already 8cm dilated so she said I will come back in and 1 1/2 hr to check you again. Well 30 min went by and I felt so much pressure like I needed to push. So I called the nurse back in to see what was going on. She came in and checked me again and she said ok you are ready to push I was already 10 +2 cm dilated. Every thing happened so fast I couldn't believe that it was already time to push I was so anxious and nervous to finally get to see the little princess I have been carrying in me for 9 months. Well after a whole hr of pushing Brooklyn Jane arrived at 4:43pm.

Here is our Princess

5 Days old

We just love her so much and cant get enough of her.

She is getting so chunky. Look at that double chin.


So precious.
