Ring around the rosies

Ewww, nobody ever told me kids puke!

Jared came to visit me last night at work and it was taking him some time to get Izzy out of the car so I whistled at him.....cause he is hot, he then turned around with a really grossed out look on his face saying "She just puked everywhere". I was never a puker as a kid or an adult, even when I was prego! I told him bring her inside and we would take her into the decontamination area and wash her off..... exactly what was needed! It was a mix of chicken chili and mac and cheese, I wanted to call in the hazmat team! The smell was horrible! We slowly unstrapped her seat belt and peeled her shirt off, trying to keep the mess out of her hair. I then popped her into the sink and washed her off, Jared got to clean the car seat out! I think the car seat got the worst of it. I am not one to handle people puling! I know you are all wondering how I can handle it on the job, well the thing is .... I DONT! I dry heave with my patients. Izzy wasn't even bothered by this at all, she wanted to play! Sorry you had to read about this really gross experience but I was REALLY grossed out!


The video was just after we cleaned her up!

Oh what a crazy year!

I have so much to say but I am so overwhelmed! Well since the last post I went from having a little infant to a little girl that squeals and runs while playing hide and seek from Mom & Dad! We have had an amazing time learning how to be parents! Isabella took her first steps to me while visiting me at work on June 24th, just before her first birthday. She has since figured out the world is so interesting now because she can walk and climb everywhere on her own! She sleeps through the night (from 8pm to 8am) which is amazing, I know she is my child! I love to sleep! She has been developing an attitude and has figured out she can grunt and squeal when she doesn't get her way. She also gets very shy and pouts with her head down and bottom lip to the floor when she is in trouble or someone she is uncomfortable with talks to her. I have been back to work for some time now and we have some amazing child care providers who she totally adores! When we pull up to their house in the morning she starts squealing with delight and wants to go right to them.

Jared continues to work very hard as a security supervisor at the Eureka working the night shift, he is asleep during the day and we only get to see him for a very limited time in the evenings. We miss him and can't wait for his hard work to pay off.

I am working at the fire department where during the rough economic times things have been a roller coaster of emotions, however the job itself is still amazing and I am learning so much every day and hope to some day be half as good as some of the amazing guys I work with.

Fall is finally here!

We have had a very confusing month.....It gets cold, then hot, then cold, then yes you guessed it hot! We finally have our eighty degree weather and we are taking advantage of it. We have been taking as many trips outdoor as we can! We went to Idaho twice to spend time with family, do a little fishing and camping. We went to Vegas to the springs preserve for the trick or treat with Caleb and Reese! We attended our ward tent or treat.... and yes we camped! Isabella has been growing so much and hitting milestones every day. She rolled over from front to back, she is now taking pacifiers now. She had her first full on laugh with daddy....I missed it cause I was at work. She unfortunately had a double ear infection this past week, she sure was the happiest sick girl I know though. It is amazing to wake up every day to Isabella's smile, she has such an incredible little personality developing. She is a morning person, her mornings begin with her playing in her crib by herself till she notices us standing there then she gets the biggest smile across her face and starts squealing with delight. She loves to smile at random people and make friends. She has the biggest most beautiful blue eyes! We have had so much fun playing with her and figuring out how to be parents!

The happenings

Alot has happened over the past few weeks, we have been non stop! We had a ton of family around for three weeks. We are so blessed to have such great friends and family in our lives. Grandma and Grandpa LeBaron came and stayed for two and a half weeks, it was so fun to have them here. We had her blessing on Aug 2nd. My bonus mom Jodi cut up my wedding gown and created a replica of my wedding dress for her blessing dress. As Jodi handed me her all dressed up my heart just was overwhelmed with how amazing this little person in my arms was mine and relys on me to teach and care for her. Isabella is an amazing blessing and joy in my life, I now understand when people say you don't know what love is till you hold your first child. She is my little angel and has brought Jared and I closer than I ever thought possible. Thank you to all of our family and friends for making this time in our lives so special.

Picture Day

We had our family photo's done on Wednesday, it was planned to take an hour or to but Isabella quickly reminded us who was in charge. When we got there we were a little early so while Jared and Sara got everything ready I fed Isabella. We did the family photos first which were so fun and then came time to start posing the girl. We did everything from sticking her in a tea cup to hanging her in this beautiful fabric. We did about five wardrobe changes and some fun pictures with my turnouts as well. In between all of this she wanted to eat every clothing change, I think she felt picked on. It was so much fun but it was definitely a long day. I cant wait share the finished product, she sent me a few and I fell in love with them.

Welcome Isabella Nicole LeBaron

On the morning of June 26th we woke up after a great nights sleep in a suite at the Bellagio,

we were finishing working a program with InHouse Physicians and it was our last day. I started contracting at about 9am so we finished packing up the clinic and Jared walked to the business center to send off the packages and they had problems so I went all the way down there to meet him which caused me to contract every 3-5 minutes. We were suppose to go to his cousins wedding reception that night but decided we wanted to do a little shopping then drive home so as I progressed we would be closer to St George where I was delivering. I started to contract even stronger so Jennica talked us into just driving home dropping off stuff then onto St George. I wanted to shop a little to make sure I would stay in labor so we pulled into St George and went to Target, I got out of the car and walked twenty feet and decided I better go to the hospital. We checked in around five UT time and they watched me for two hours and I changed one cm and her heart rythm wasn't very reactive so they decided to keep me and let me labor. I labored all night, she was posterior (facing up instead of down) causing a very hard long labor. I only progressed a little and the Dr broke my water around 5am and I got an epidural. The epidural was awesome, I could still move all around but I was numb. The fetal heart rate started to look even worse and so the Dr tried to rub her scalp which is suppose to cause her heart rate to increase but hers decreased and she started to concern the Dr so he did a C-section. I was broken hearted that I tried so hard to get her out without a c-section and it didn't work but once I saw my perfect little girl It all made it worth it. When they showed her to me as they rushed her out of the O.R. I started to cry because she was so beautiful and perfect. When Jared brought her into meet me and she cuddled right into my face, I fell in love. I can't even describe the love I feel for her, she is amazing. It was incredible to see her daddy just become like a child and fall in love with her. The look in his eyes was undescribable. We are so happy to have her be a part of our family, I have waited for her so long! I love you my sweet angel Isabella.
