Baby, baby, baby

Hello little one,
It's Mommy. It' been a few days. Well your Daddy made it home safe on Monday night. Back to work today. I went to the Dr. yesterday, he said something about a stressed uterus/irritable uterus so I am supposed to be back on bed rest. Well the Dr. said "Get off your feet and keep your feet up" and light duty blah blah blah. Well today Emily came out and we drove around and got lunch and Brandon got mad at me. I understand where he is coming from but I don't want to sit at home alone doing nothing. :( on a good note though on Tuesday I got to see you again and your little heart beating. It's just so amazing. You are already bigger then a few weeks ago. :) You're growing so fast I just love it. And I watched a video about all the stuff you are starting to do now like your kidneys are starting to work, and you're peeing. Doesn't sound very pleasant but it's pretty interesting knowing what you are starting to do. I can't wait til you are here though that's the most exciting part. I am ready to meet you but you are not ready to meet us. Well baby I love you and I might write again later.
Keep growing strong.
XOXOXO

Being an adult is frustrating...

Hi baby,
Mommy again. Just letting you know that being an adult is frustrating so enjoy your child hood as long as you can.
Here is what's going on. On Tuesday I went to the Dr. because my body is not doing so well and I had a feeling there is something wrong, at that appointment they put me on bed rest and did a U.A. Today I was supposed to get my results back and the Dr. I saw was not there so they can not get the results :( very upsetting. I also feel like they should have be doing something more to make sure you are o.k. and instead they are making me wait a week and half to see you and make sure you are o.k. When this bleeding and cramping started a week ago, that means that it will be 2 weeks before I even get any sort of answers. Just so you know for when you are older, when it comes to Dr's you must be very persistent. So I have been contemplating going to the hospital to make sure you are doing OK. I am going to do that tomorrow. It's unneeded stress on you and me.
I talked to your Daddy today. Last night he went out with uncle Greg and someone wanted to buy your Daddy's guns so your dad, who had paid $450 for both his pistol and shotgun made $3700 off of them from some guy. Your Daddy turned around and bought an even cooler shotgun and still has $2000 left. I sure hope you learn how to bargain like your Daddy. Just wait til 4th of July and you see how many fireworks your Daddy gets for such a little amount. It's something your Grandpa taught your dad before he went to play with the angels. I think it will turn into one of those family traditions. Which is awesome because family traditions (especially good ones) are great memories. Your Daddy and Grandpa called them OIT's Old Indian Tricks. (yes you are part native American from both my side and your daddy's).
Today your auntie Emily came over and we went to Walmart (I know bed rest) but there was some things I needed for us (like stuff to make the house smell better because every time I walked into the kitchen I almost puked) and some other random stuff I probably didn't need.
Well baby I think I am going to go for now. Remember I love you and I wish you would give me some sort of sign that you are doing good. :)
Love you always,
Mommy.

Hi baby

   Mommy here again. I know this is what the 3rd time today??? I guess now is a good time to tell you bed rest is very boring :(  Oh well price I pay to keep you healthy & safe. I will do that anytime from now and until forever. Speaking of keeping you healthy and safe how is my womb? I am guessing dark and wet? Well all jokes aside I really do hope that my insides are keeping you safe and not stressing you out at all. I guess those are just somethings I wonder about when I start cramping and bleeding.
   The Dr. said that my cervix isn't dilating which is good because that means I am not miscarrying you but we still don't have a reason for the blood and cramping yet. Just patience and being bed ridden til we find out :)
   So today your auntie Tara was kind enough to bring me lunch (teriyaki) but since being pregnant with you I have been having a hard time eating meat, I ate the rice. I am beginning to think you might be a vegetarian??? Oh and she also brought me back a coconut cream pie. yum. You're gonna have to thank her for that one day I already did my thanks and since I normally wouldn't have cared for it I am putting this one on you.
  So here I am laying in bed getting fat. :/ I should probably stop while I am ahead huh?
  I talked to your daddy again and boy do I sure miss him. Its awfully lonely here with out him. Well I told him a joke that I heard today wanna hear it?
  What kind of bees make milk?
  BooBees haha. You'll get it when you're older. Your dad called me a dork. Well your dad sent me some pictures of his road trip so far, so I am going to post them for you to see.
 He sent me this picture with no u da ho underneath, haha you will get it one day. :) you're daddy is silly
This is him driving through Utah. It's OK honey I have never been on a road trip that far away either but one day we will all travel together.
And here Daddy made it to Wyoming. Where it is snowing. At home it was sunny, we will be sure to tell him later how he missed out huh?
  Well honey it's just about time for Mommy to put the computer away and do some more pointless lying around. Your daddy's friend brought me some movies to watch maybe I will put one of those in.
I love you Baby Falk see you in October :)

A mother's love

    This is something that I wrote for you shortly after finding out I was pregnant. I just want you to know how much I love you and I always will.
   I used to think there was no such thing as love at first sight, until I saw your picture on the screen.
   I used to think it was foolish to love someone you have never met, until I knew you where in my belly.
   I am in love without even having met you, I am in love without knowing who you are and I am more in love with the man that helped me create you.

Adventures of Mommy and Daddy together Before you greeted us

Hello little baby,
 I was just thinking maybe I will make a collection of memories that you were unable to share with us (and some you are way to young to even think about sharing with us like ahem vegas :) )
  I would say our first adventure was the cabin which I briefly told you about. Here are some pictures though. I hope that you enjoy it.
 Here is uncle Seth and I on our way to Missy and Tim's for the cabin. Your uncle was catching up on his beauty sleep. The date on the picture is wrong, it was actually December.
 Here is princess Shauna your second cousin (long confusing family history thing we talked about previously)
 Here is your daddy after we got back from the cabin.
Here is Dylan and Daddy and Chuck I think they were crabbing or shrimping or something up at Great Grandma's house at the canal. This was spring of 2010.
  Here are some pictures of your Daddy's 21st birthday. One day you can tease him about these :)
 Your uncle Seth. This was when he was in high school his senior year.
 This is your Daddy's birthday cake autnie Amanda and I made for his 21st.

All about Mommy and Daddy

Hello little baby,
   It's Mommy again. I just talked to your Daddy on the phone, him and Uncle Greg are in southern Oregon and they are driving fast of course. So I figured since I did a mild introduction of family it's time to introduce Mommy and Daddy and how we met and fell in love.
   Aunt Missy and Uncle Tim (another confusing family history of why they are aunt and uncle but we can get into that when you are older just go with it ok) introduced us. Your daddy was over at Tim and Missy's one day when I went to go pick up your uncle Seth. Your daddy thought I was cute and asked Missy for my number I agreed to let your Daddy have it. We started with simple phone calls and text messages. Then for New Years Daddy and I went with Tim and Missy to their cabin to have some winter fun. After (I think 3 days) of being together all day and night we kinda hit it off. Pretty soon I was ditching all my friends to go hang out with Daddy. Instead of spending my normal birthday with Britney out having fun, I spent it with Daddy where he took me to dinner and a movie. The next day we went to go pick up Uncle Seth from his house where we got into a car accident. That was not in our plan but I guess it was God's. I guess God likes to make dramatic entrances when he wants to get his point across.
   See the reason I say that is because your Daddy kept asking me to be his girlfriend, and even though I really liked your Daddy I was scared to be in a relationship. The night of the accident when the officer asked me if Daddy was my boyfriend I just agreed and from then on we have been together.I guess that accident brought us together in ways we didnt expect. That is why I say it was in God's plan, and although I think God could have gone about it in a more suttle way he did get his point across huh?
    Now lets talk about you. I am sure that's the part you are dying to hear about anyways huh?
Just to be clear even though we didnt plan you, doesn't mean God didn't. He had other plans and just when Daddy and I thought our life was great God gave us something greater and that is you.You probably want to know how we found out huh? Well you can thank auntie Rano for that one. We where supposed to go out for girls night but she wouldn't let me go unless I took a pregnancy test because I had some symptoms of being pregnant (which I brushed off and assumed I was just going through womenly cycles and possibly getting sick on top of it). Well Miranda was right I was pregnant, and I was in shock. I was in such shock I made Miranda take a test just to make sure we didn't get a bad batch. :)
    So we didn't go out. Well actually we did we went out to Jack in the box and got some cheese burgers and fries. :) and Starbucks and got some coffee. The next day I practiced how I was going to tell your daddy all the way home from Bellingham. The closer I got the more nervous I got. Finally after what seemed like days of driving I made it home and I saw your big handsome daddy in the drive way taking his dirt bike out of the bed of his truck and for a split second I forgot what I was so nervous about.
    So I went straight to our bedroom pulled out the positive pregnancy test and started unpacking my clothes when your daddy came in all smiles from a good weekend of riding. He kissed me and asked me how my weekend was. We made small talk then I said "I have something to tell you, but I can't look at you while I say it" so I covered my face with a pillow and your dad looked so worried.
     Me: "Well I guess I will just come out and say it"
     Dad: "What???"
     Me: " Well Miranda made me take a pregnancy test and it came back positive I am sorry I had no idea. So we never ended up going out."  I peeked my head over the pillow and he was smiling...
     Me: " I don't think this is very funny so you should prolly quit smiling now..."
So we decided to go tell your Gramma Jodi (who lived just 2 houses down). As I got into the truck I started having a slight panic attack where I told your dad that your gramma doesn't live far enough away for me to gather my thoughs. Your dad made a joke about having a babysitter right next door :) After we told the family auntie Tara jumped up and down, Daddy, Gramma, and I cried. Then we called Grandpa Ron on the web cam (he was far away in another country for work) and your Grandpa Ron cried. It was very emtotional. Here we are just one month later and ready to meet you and you are not nearly done cooking yet. So I want to say take your time because we want you to be just perfect, but I wish I could turn on the speed bake because I am ready to meet you. :)
  Well little baby that is the background of mommy, daddy and you, our little baby.
We love you little baby keep cooking to perfection. See you in October.

My introduction

Hello little baby,
    It is I your mommy. I decided to start this since for some reason my insides decided to go a little crazy and Dr. said "bed rest til you are better". Don't worry it's not your fault its my body. I am excited you are such a tough little baby for putting up with my uncoporative body :)
   So on Thursday we got to see you and your little heartbeat. You amaze me already and I just can't wait to meet you. I love you so much. '
    Daddy is away for a week picking up "Uncle Dylan" who is really your second cousin but all that is complicated and I am sure he will want to be called uncle anyways. Well Dylan just graduated from college and Brandon (your daddy) went with Uncle Greg to pick up Dylan from school. So they drove all the way to Wyoming.  While I am on bed rest without your daddy here to keep me company and you don't talk yet I guess I will do all the talking til you get here which I don't mind because as you get older you will relize mommy likes to talk :)
  How about we talk names??? Daddy says we are not chosing names until we meet you since "we wouldnt name a puppy before seeing the puppy, why should we name our baby first with out seeing how she/he (sorry we dont know what you are yet) will react to the name?" He has a point but when you get older you can ask him why he compared you to a dog :) Although of course all I think are names. I like Ryan for a little boy and Tyler-Lynn for a little girl but I am not getting alot of positive feed back on those.
   I think we are set on middle names though. Would you like to hear? Well I am going to tell you anyways. Scott for a little boy, (that is both of your grandpas names, your Daddy's middle name and your Uncle Danny's middle name) and maybe Ryan or Michael I like Ryan that is your Uncle Seth's middle name. And Michael is my cousins middle name... I like the idea of family names and I like strong names too. So I think we are going to work with those if you are a boy.
   However if you are a girl (don't worry honey if you are a girl I am not leaving you with just a boy name for a first name :) ) I like the middle name to be Michelle (that was my mothers name, your grandmother) and Lynn. Lynn is your grandma Jodi's (Daddy's mom) middle name and also Auntie Tara.
  I sure you hope you like those and respond positively. Well baby it is almsot mid night and I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open (as you can prolly tell with all the jibberish non sence blogging). So for tonight I think I am done. Since we have the family history just about introduced I guess we will continue tomorrow.
   Mommy and Daddy love you keep growing healthy for mommy and daddy.
