Ryder's Blanket
Saturday I got a wild hair to pull out my sewing machine and make something. I went and bought some super cute fabric for my project and came home and proceeded to make Ryder a blanket. It took me forever but it's the cutest thing I have ever seen. I intend on practicing a lot and make him some more super cute things......

Ryder's 1st Tooth!!!
I am so excited! Ryder has been trying so hard to cut his lower two front teeth and his doctor said he thinks they'll be in by Halloween. He has had a really runny nose and bad cough lately so I know he has been teething. Well, this afternoon he was laughing at me and I saw something funny....I screamed with excitement and said to Ryder, "Oh my God, buddy, you have a tooth!!! I have to call your Daddy!!!" So, I called Braiden all excited and said "Guess who has a tooth?" He was like, "Who". Who do you think, retard!!! Anyway, you would have thought I won the lottery. I'm a dork. As soon as I can get him to cooperate with me I will put some pictures up of his tooth!

I can't believe it's been 6 months!
August 30, 2008
I can't believe it has been 6 months since little man was born. I felt like I was pregnant forever and it was never going to end. This is why I take so many pictures....so I don't forget about the time that he was little because, before I know it, he will be grown.
So yesterday I took Ryder for his six month doctor's appointment to get his exam and shots. He weighs 19 1/2 lbs and is 27 3/4 in long. They said he is in about the 80 percentile for his age bracket and he is right where he needs to be. Also, I am so excited because last Sunday Ryder finally rolled over on his own...I know, it took him forever but baby bear has a big head and I don't think he could pick it up, but he has been doing lots of tummy time so his neck is much stronger. Now he is rollin' over a lot and trying really hard to scoot, so hopefully he will be crawling in no time!
Practicing his "rollover" technique...which he finally mastered on August 24!
He loves his ducky!

BABY BEAR 4 MONTHS
JULY 11, 2008
SO, MY BABY BEAR HAD HIS 4 MONTH CHECK UP TODAY AND HE IS 17 LBS AND 26" LONG!!! THEY SAID HE'S A BIG BOY AND THEY SUSPECT HE WILL BE AROUND 6 FEET TALL!!!! HE RECEIVED 4 SHOTS AND AN ORAL VACCINE TODAY AND HE WAS SUCH A GOOD BOY. HE MADE MOMMY PROUD. HIS DOCTOR IS ALSO CONCERNED BECAUSE RYDER'S HEAD IS SOMEWHAT FLAT IN THE BACK; IT'S STARTING TO ROUND ON THE LEFT BUT NOT SO MUCH ON THE RIGHT. HE JUST ENCOURAGED LOTS OF "TUMMY TIME" AND COME BACK NEXT MONTH TO MAKE SURE IT'S PROGRESSING NICELY. IF NOT, HE WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH TESTS AND POSSIBLY WEAR A HELMET. SO, I AM HOPING THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THAT ROUTE, BUT WE'LL SEE. OTHER THAN THAT MY LITTLE MAN IS DOING WONDERFUL AND HE IS AS PERFECT AS EVER!

Ryder's Arrival
February 29, 2008
So, I had been pretty miserable the last week I was pregnant. Ryder's shower was the 24th and I pretty much just sat the whole time because my whole body was so swollen.
I worked on Monday, came home and didn't even sit down. I told Braiden to get up, we are going to the mall. I thought if I walked a lot, maybe I would go into labor. Well, the more I walked the worse the contractions got. They were back to back no minutes in between. So Braiden decided we should probably go home, get ready for bed and then we'll sit down and start to time the contractions. I get all ready and sit in front of the tv and the second I relaxed, Ryder relaxed. This went on every day and night that whole week. I worked every day, and at work my mom kept asking, "Are you in labor, are you in labor?!!" I'm like, "I dunno????" I have never been in labor, so I was pretty clueless how all of this labor business worked. I didn't take any birthing classes...I just don't do that kind of thing, and I figure the baby is going to come whether I took the class or not.
Friday comes and it's my day off. I always made my doctor's appointments on Friday. Well the Friday before I saw the nurse practitioner because my doctor was on vacation and she said to probably not go anywhere too far away because I was dialated 3-4 centimeters. She was super rough and I bled a lot that day and had horrible cramps...but no baby. So, when I see my doctor this time, I tell her how miserable I've been and I asked her how I would know if I was in labor. She said that she knows I am not in labor because I was talking to her. My mom went with me to this appointment because she wanted the doctor to know the history of quick labor/deliveries in our family. So, she goes to do my exam and has the most confused look on her face. Stops, looks at my chart and goes for it again. She said, ok, do you mind having a Leap year baby, because you are 6 centimeters. Then, I got nervous, because I fully expected her to send me home disappointed and I would have to go another week until God knows what.
I go to the hospital around 10:30 and the hooked my up to the iv and gave me some pitocin to get regular contractions, doctor came over at 12:15 to break my water. After that the pain kicked into high gear and the contractions would not stop. Finally, at about 2pm or so and 8 cm dialated, I got my epidural...which is a gift from God by the way. I fell asleep and around quater to 4 I told the nurse I was feeling a huge load of pressure, he checked me and said I was 10 cm. So, at about 4:00 I started pushing and Ryder was born at 4:46pm! He was the most beautiful baby I had ever seen!

The last few years....
As many of you know, Braiden and I dated in high school for two years. After our junior year, we went our seperate ways. After five long years, we were reconnected via email and have been together ever since.
We were engaged on March 16, 2005 and married on October 28, 2005. Braiden was still enlisted in the Marine Corps until October 2006 when he was honorably discharged.
In July 2007 we found out that I was pregnant with our first child, a BOY, which we found out on October 25, 2007. He was due to arrive on or around March 12, 2008, but he decided he wanted to make an early appearance so he arrived on February 29, 2008 instead....YES a Leap Year baby! We named him Ryder Jaxon White and he was 7lbs, 8oz, 20in long.
