Katelyn's Blessing

On October 18th, Dave, Katelyn and I flew home so that we could bless Katelyn in Utah, where our family could come to see her. She looked so beautiful in the blessing dress my mom made for her. Wow, maybe one of these days I can learn to sew as well as she does. She even did the beautiful embroidery. Katelyn was so good during church and woke up during the blessing just in time to look around to see who was there. She never cried, she was just curious. Here are some photos that we took of Katelyn as well as of our families. As you can see, we were having a great time. :)

She's a swimmer!

Today was Katelyn's first time in the pool and she loved it! Well, almost. She didn't cry and that's close to loving it. I don't think she quite knew what to do when she got wet, but as you can see below, Dave is a master teacher and taught her how to float on her back! Only 7 weeks old. What a quick learner.
Look, she floats!
All tuckered out. She has really slept well tonight after her day at the pool. I think we just found a new addition to her bedtime routine. What a cutie. :)

She's getting bigger!

Little Katelyn is 6 weeks old! She is just adorable and I love to hold her and kiss her! She made my day today when I walked over to her while she was in her bassinet and as I said hello to her, she gave me a big smile! I loved it! Hopefully I'll be able to catch one of her smiles with my camera so I can post it.

Getting Katelyn ready

Our cute little Katelyn was wiggling around before and after her bath. Don't let the distressed look in the second clip fool you... she loves to take a bath! Her cute little cry in the second clip is very characteristic of her. What a cute baby. :)

It's a girl!! Katelyn Ariel Price!

Yes, we are parents! Our cute little Katelyn Ariel was born on Sunday, August 26th. She was 7 lb 10 oz and cute as a button. We love every second of being parents. More pics to come. She is my new favorite subject to photograph. :)

New plans!

Plans have changed, or been solidified, this week as to where our baby will be born. I went to the doctor on Monday, the day before we had planned to drive, and because I had dilated so far, she didn't want us to drive and in fact, has scheduled me to be induced on Sunday. In two days!! So, our baby will be born on August 26th, which is actually my dad's birthday and Dave's parents anniversary. It must be a good day!

We're so excited and feel really blessed that so many things have fallen into place. I went to the doctor again on Wednesday and had dilated even further. This little baby is excited to be here! I'm officially not due until September 4th.

Dave and I have been enjoying this week of rest, requested by the doctor. It's even been a little cooler, which is nice. No more 100 degree days. We'll be moving to my parents house tomorrow (Centerville) so mom can help us out and make sure that we're doing everything right. :)

Back to Arizona!! (Sometime....)

Well, I sure haven't done a very good job of keeping up on this. Well, here's the latest. Yes, we're excited to get back to Arizona, though of course sad to be leaving our family and the beautiful mountains. It's been a wonderful summer and today is Dave's last day of his internship with NuSkin. Where did the summer go?

I'm due on September 4, so less than 3 weeks now! Both the baby and I keep getting bigger and bigger. Even bigger than you you can see in the picture, but that's the most recent picture. This morning my doctor told us she is nervous to let us drive to Arizona next week, but she didn't stop us. :) The plan is to drive on Tuesday, August 21st. For now. We're looking at all of our options before we make the final decision and that might not even be made until Monday night. We are really making a habit of this last minute decision making stuff!!

The picture is of Dave and I at a spring at his grandfather's cabin. We even got to hike to it! Let me just say that it's a different experience when your lung capacity is cut in half, but we really loved it. :)

I'll post the picture of Dave's recent 5k shortly. He got his personal best just a couple weeks ago! Go Dave!
