Only Half Crazy

Aaron ran his first half marathon on Saturday. He did so good. He ran the Timpanogos Half Marathon. They started at Tibble Fork up American Fork Canyon and finished at American Fork High School. He said it was a pretty run especially running down and out of the canyon. We are so proud of him. 

This is how Bridger waited for Daddy to cross the finish line

What a stud! His time was 1hour 58minutes 34seconds

Ashlee also ran the Half Marathon, she did great as well. 

How fun for them to run it together. I can't wait until next year so all 3 of us can run it.
CAN'T WAIT TO BE BACK IN SHAPE AND HAVE MY OLD BODY!!!
 . . . Speaking of that, I have decided to blog about getting back into shape and all that jazz. I figure blogging about it to the world can do nothing but help.
Seriously though I know having sweet Bridger was totally worth gaining 60lbs, yes that is right I gained 60lbs being pregnant. DON'T JUDGE. I would not take any of it back, obviously totally worth it!! But now that he is here and healthy and cute as ever, I would love nothing more to get back to my old self.
I got weighed today and was totally bummed out, so depressing! It felt a lot like this. . .

I will admit it, it is a bummer I am not lucky like some of those woman out there that bounce back 3 weeks after giving birth. LAME! But I have excepted that and am ready to love the gym again. Since having Bridger I have been weening myself of sugar. I must admit I was addicted while pregnant. It is so hard! I crave it so much I swear. I have indulged a couple times but I am getting better after being weighed I am not even tempted.
I used to love working out and I know I still do but it is going to be so hard at first. They say it takes about 4 weeks to make a habit and to even start noticing a difference in your body. That sucks because obviously I want it now. LAME ONCE AGAIN. But I guess it makes it more worth it that way.
Kind of feeling this way. . .

So I guess you have to start somewhere. I am just excited and ready to start feeling a lot better about myself. I keep telling myself I am going to be a HOT MOM! I have a hot hubby and an adorable child it only makes sense, right?! LOL. So here's to that. . . I am defiantly one to put up inspirational quotes and Victoria Secret Models all over the house to keep me motivated, and it defiantly helps. Also having the Olympics going right now that defiantly is super motivating. So here is one last thought and it defiantly is so true and what I want to live by :) 

So here's to the start of my journey and too looking good naked!

Also can't forget a cute baby pic. Bridger is so happy in the mornings we will catch him smiling and smiling so big. Love this little man!

All About Baby

I thought I would never have time to blog with a baby but it seems I make sure I make time because I love to post his daily pictures we take. It seems I can't wait to blog about our little man. 

I am excited to start getting into a daily routine. Bridger is kind of on a schedule but he still is in newborn mode and still sleeps most of the time. I really cant wait for him to sleep longer than 3 hours at a time at night. It helps he is cute. I don't mind waking up with him :)

He has the cutest little yawns

 He also loves to sleep in his swing

 Little man had his 2 week check up, but he had it a 3 weeks and there is no doubt he is a growing boy.

Bridger loves his tubby time. He loves having warm water poured on him

 {Pioneer Day}
Little man looked so cute on July 24th. I love his little suspenders. {these onsies are so easy to make}

I can't believe our little man is already 3 weeks. He is getting so big and is it possible he is getting cuter and cuter?!

 We also had fun swimming with family on the 24th. It was such a nice day.

 Everyone says Bridger looks like his daddy. I wish I could see it. I don't even see me in him. I didn't realize how hard it is with your own to see who they look like.

 Bridger doesn't smile back at you yet but in the mornings if you touch his cheeks or chin he will give you the cutest little smiles. I love seeing his smile I can't wait till he smiles back at us.

Life Lately

Oh how we are loving parenthood. It is funny how it changes you so fast. That is "change" in a good way. When I used to see people and their baby's were crying I would always wonder "How do they know what they want?" I didn't realize with your own you just do. Luckily there is only a handful of things that can be wrong. We are so lucky Bridger is a good baby. As long as he has a clean diaper and is fed and burped he is a very chill baby.
I love when he is awake he is just so content and loves looking around.

We defiantly love, love, love snuggle time with him. I hope he stays a snuggly baby.

{Burrows}
Poor little Burrow is not used to not being the center of attention. But he is doing very good with Bridger. He doesn't really care for him. He does notice him though. Sometimes he gets a little curious and likes to sniff him out. He has came and snuggled a bit next to us and Bridger. I am not worried at all with him around but I never have been. I just hope Burrows turns into more of his protector in a sense.

{Not to worry we never leave Bridger alone around Burrows and he never gets super close enough to get a good enough sniff}
One of the onsies I made with little suspenders. This kid is so cute though he could make anything look cute! :) I am biased though.

{Grandpa Turner's Funeral}

When Bridger was born, that night Aaron's grandpa came into American Fork Hospital with pneumonia. He was in the ICU. He suffered from Alzheimer's and when they get pneumonia that is a sign that they will be passing soon. He gave everyone a little scare but then he turned around and even gave everyone a peak of his old self. He went home to his nursing home and a few days later her started actively dyeing. On July 13th 2012 he was able to finally go home to his Heavenly Father and be rid of Alzheimer's. It was such a blessing for him, no more suffering. It is bitter-sweet he will be missed so much!

The Funeral was so beautiful

Bridger finally got to be held by his sweet Great-Grandma Turner

My favorite picture of the day.

Don't I just have the hottest hubby.

First Week With Bridger

Our little Bridger is one week old already. He is our little man. We love taking pictures of him, we just can't get enough.
{Sweet Sleeping Babe}
Bridger hates being swaddled. He loves sleeping with his arms up above his head. It is the cutest thing.

I love when he is awake. I love seeing those big blue eyes.

Bridger is so lucky to have Aaron as his daddy.

{1 Week Old}

We love being parents to our little man. Crazy it has already been one week.

Bridger Aiden Turner {A Birth Story}

My word where to start. We have a baby and we are so in love with him! We absolutely love being parents. It really is the best job in the world. 

{Birth Story}

After waiting and waiting and waiting for just a hint of labor I hit 41 weeks. We got the call from the hospital on Sunday and they said I was the first on call for being induced on Monday. Sunday night was the longest night ever. I am surprised we even got any sleep. 

At 6:15 am on Monday the hospital called and said to be there in a hour. That was the longest drive ever. I was so nervous and excited, we both were.

{41 Weeks Prego} Last prego picture                                       

When I got to the hospital I was still at a 2 and only 70% effaced. I had been that for 3 weeks. The doctor came in at 8:30 and broke my water and about a half hour later they started me on pitocin. Right away contractions started. Boy oh boy did they hurt and they were just mild ones. I told the nurse I was ready for the epidural and 5 min later the anesthesiologist was there. I was nervous for it but it was not bad at all. All I felt was a little pinch and it was done. Thank goodness I got the epidural when I did because my contractions turned into whoppers right after.

By noon I was a 5 and by 2:30 I jumped to an eight. We were so excited we defiantly thought we would be parents not to much after. But I stayed an 8 up until about 8p.m.
Then we were kind of stuck. The baby's heart rate kept dropping and it wasn't during contractions. So they thought they might have to do a C-section. They nurse prepped me and everything just in case I needed one I would be ready.  For an hour they had me lay on my side to see if that would help any. The baby kept a steady heart rate for an hour and at 9 the doctor came in a check me and I was ready to push. No C-section needed. The doctors could not believe it.
 I pushed for about an hour and at 9:57p.m. on July 2nd {Bridger Aiden Turner} was born.

He came out screaming, the doctor didn't even have to suction him.

I could not believe he was mine

It seems that extra week did him some good. He weighed 8lb 8oz and was 19 1/2 inches long

{We are a family}

{Proud New Daddy}

Everyone was so excited to meet Bridger. He had his own fan club waiting for him in the waiting room.

We had a great hospital stay. The nurses were awesome and super helpful. But by that second day we were ready to go home.
{Coming Home}

Bridger did not like his car seat. He hung onto the straps for dear life. You would of thought he was going on a roller coaster ride.

We are so grateful for this little man in our lives! He is the absolute sweetest thing. We are so in love with him!

We are also so grateful for everyone coming to visit us in the hospital and all of the waiting everyone did while I was in labor. We are so grateful for the amazing support we have from our families. Bridger is so lucky to have such an awesome family.
