another long night.

Here I am again around 4 AM with my sweetheart. She's so exauhsting, but everytime I look down at her lil face I know it's worth every sleepless moment.

We're going to St George this weekend for baby Gordons baby blessing. We are so excited to see Gordon, and Owen. it'll be fun too see all the new cousins together!
im especially excited to go swimming :)

Devin got a new job at Osmond Designs. For those who don't know what that is, it's a very nice furniture store. The ones you walk into and drool, and wish you could have a home that looks identical to the displays. The key word is "Wish" though. It's very, very expensive.

Oaklie is finally asleep.... so i'm headed back to bed.
thank goodness.

Oaklie

She only came 9 days late...

I was finally enduced 9 days after my due date. Giving birth was nothing like I expected, it was so... easy. I am all for epidurals! I do have to praise all those mommies out there that have gone through labor and given birth NATURALLY... because when I was dialated to a 4 I could only imagine the pain that would follow as I slowly dialted the rest of the way. THERE WAS NO WAY I was going to wait for that pain, so I buzzed for the drug that will forever have a place in my heart. The Epidural! It was amazing the difference I felt. There is no way after having that epidural i'll ever choose to go through a natural birth. But once again.. those who have, and that will again, More power to you!!



Oaklie Alis Bascom
born June 14th 2011
7lbs 15oz 20 in

When I first saw her, I could have sworn she was a red head. Devin and I both looked at eachother and I know we were thinking the same thing... OH SHOOT. She was beautiful and I would love to have a red head. But we both didn't imagine a Oaklie with red hair. so we were both sort of panicing about what new name we were going to have to come up with by the time we left the hospital. luckily after her bath she was blonder than blonde... she was our Oaklie.

It's 4 AM and Oaklie is 3 weeks old.
She's up every 3 to 4 hours and since I supply the food, I'm the lucky one to get up with her at night. Which i'm perfectly fine with since Devin works full time to support our family. I'm able to sleep during the day, while she sleeps. I give Mega props to all those moms that have two + kids that can't take those precious naps. I wouldn't survive without them. It's been a fun 3 weeks with our baby. definatly a life changer. It's way interesting watching Devin with his baby girl. she's so loved by him. I've never heard so much baby talk coming out of a grown man before! but it's so adorable. she's going to be a daddy's girl 100%. She already is.
