busy

The month of December has been so hectic! Between my dads accident, our car blowing up, Mother daughter trip, and finding and buying a new car. I have not had a chance to get into the holiday spirit. I can’t believe Christmas is only 5 days away and that my baby is almost two months old!

Getting SO Big

busy few weeks

It has been a busy few weeks for this new little Logue family! After giving birth to my beautiful baby boy I started having horrible stomach pain and I thought it was normal for just having a baby until I was at the ranch on Saturday and the pains started getting worse and worse. On Sunday I was woken up by sharp stabbing pain in my low right side of my tummy. I dealt with the pain and went to the doctor on Monday where I was told to go over the ER and get a cat scan. After being in the ER for several hours we finally got the results back from all of the tests and they showed that there was nothing wrong but a really bad infection.
I went home and with the help of my wonderful mother and husband I fought through the pain and fevers all night. The following day my doctor wanted me to come in for another exam to see if he could figure it out. After my exam my doctor sent me over to the medical and surgery center where I was told that I was going to have surgery that afternoon to have my appendix taken out and while they are inside he was going to scan my insides and fix whatever needs to be fixed…
Thank goodness my mom came up to take care of Braxton for me or I would have been a bigger wreck then I already was. Ryan came over and helped Josh give me a blessing and around 8:00pm on Tuesday I went into surgery.
I was under for about an hour and in that hour the blew my belly up like a balloon, made four insertions, took out my appendix, unkicked my large intestines, and removed a growth off of my small intestines….
I am recovering slowly but I am sure I will be feeling better soon.
Thanks for all the phone calls, thoughts and Prayers. a HUGE thanks you to my mom who has spent so much time this last month taking care of me and my family I don’t know what I would do without her. THANK YOU MOM!

BABY BRAXTON

Braxton Cade Logue arrived healthy and strong on Friday October 29th at 12:17pm weighing in at 7 pounds 15 ounces and 20.5in long… Both josh and I are so excited for him to finally be here and cannot get enough of him… he is our little pride and joy! Braxton we love you little buddy.





He is getting so big already
More pictures to come!

There is just one thing missing... My Baby

Little Pumpkin

We got a little bored and painted my baby bump into a cute little pumpkin...

Baby

I wanted to get maternity pictures taken but I kept putting it off so we could save up some money to get them done professionally. Well that has not happened and now I am way past the “cute” stage of pregnancy, so last night I decided to take some myself… Let just say photographing yourself is not easy. But with Josh’s help we got a few that turned out…

Everyone says “You are ALL baby” (so nice to say :s ) so I guess I am just waiting to have my 30 pound baby lol please NO.
I am down to the last month of pregnancy I only have 17 days till my due date and I am getting more and more excited ever minute. I have finally given in and accepted the fact that I am totally freaked out about labor and delivery. I want him out of me soooo bad but I am NOT looking forward to getting him here. I guess I have just realized that I have to do it and that is getting so close. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that he is not too big.

It’s October!!!

We all should cheer because it’s FINALLY here!

It’s getting cooler outside…
The leaves are starting to change color...
The holidays are getting closer…
But most of all BRAXTON WILL BE HERE!!!

To josh and I it seems like we have been waiting for October to get here for forever. And I guess we really have been. I know I have been waiting to be a mommy sense the day I was old enough to hold a baby. But I guess in all reality it’s only been 9 months (note: the LOOOOOOONGEST nine months of my life) But the day is almost here that Josh and I will be parents. Braxton will be here soon and I can’t wait!

Thankful

I have been feeling So Thankful for so many things and wanting to write them down to remind me of all the things I have…
-My amazing husband Joshua
These last few months have been full of excitement but fuller of stress and grumpy pregnant woman and Josh as been so amazing. He helps me do whatever I need done and keeps me a sane person.
-Braxton
How can I love a baby so much that I have not even seen? One that kicks the crap out of me and rolls around and never stops moving? I have no yet figured it out! But I DO! I can’t wait for him to enter this world so not only me but everyone else can love on him.
-My House
Who knew someone so little could need so much stuff!!! Our little one bedroom home is full! But I am so thankful that I have it a roof over my head and a home to bring my son home too…
-My mom
This woman is amazing. I don’t know how she does it all! She has 7 daughters and I think we all call her a million times a day! The closer I get to having Braxton the more and more I call her… sorry momma
-My Mother In Law (Julie)
This is another woman that I just don’t know how she does it all… She is always here for Joshua and I if we ever needed anything.
-The gospel
Just knowing that my heavenly father is always by my side helping me every step of the day is enough to be thankful for.
-Computer
Yeah I could not live without my computer. Being home alone all the time I would go crazy without my computer.
-Friends
My Friends are always here for me whenever I need to talk/vent.
-Bath Tub
I am in the bath probably 4 or 5 hours in a 24 hour day! I don’t know what I would do without!
-My phone
Um… I don’t know what I would do without my phone… I am glad that I can keep in touch with family and friends.
-My car
Everyone knows how big of a POS my car is and how many problems it has given me. But when I stop and think of all the places it has got me it makes me thankful I have it.

And the list goes on and on...

1st Anniversary

One Year Down! Eternity To Go!
On Saturday the 25th of September Josh and I celebrated our One Year Anniversary… Its crazy how time flies!
This year has been crazy, fun, and stressful but with so many memories that can never be forgotten. I started dating/loving Josh over 4 1/2 YEARS AGO… and the day I married him I thought I could not love him more then I already did. But I was soooo Wrong... I love my husband more and more every day. I don’t think i could make it a day without his love and support. I can’t wait to see what are lives have in store for us...

I am done! Sooooooooo done!

I am so done with this lovely pregnancy stuff for so many reasons for number ONE I want to see little Braxton so bad… I am not getting more than 3 hours a night of sleep. I get dizzy all the time sometimes so bad that I lose my hearing and most of my vision (standing, lying, or setting). I look like a Blow Fish! I am swollen EVERYWHERE… I can’t move without feeling and hearing popping, cracking and gridding pelvic bones. GRR.. HEARTBURN!!! I literally think my chest is one uncontrolled forest fire all the time! My vision is getting worse every day I can’t see anything. I have no energy! I pee all the time! And I look like Gus Gus off of Cinderella NOTHING FITS ANYMORE…
I know I know enough with the complaining!
On a good note I am 35 ½ weeks Pregnant only 4 ½ weeks to my due date! Braxton is healthy and is continuing to grow, he is now 5lbs! He is very active and loves his daddy’s voice and goes crazy when he gets home from school or work and starts talking. The ultrasounds pictures show that he has loooong eyelashes, chubby checks and a boodha belly! :D He is going to be so dang cute! I am so excited for him to be here!

BABY SHOWER!

My baby shower was so much fun! Rachel, Molly, and Julie put a lot of thought and planning in to it and it turned out AWESOME! There were so many people there and I received so many gifts…
THANKS EVERYONE THAT HELPED!
AND
THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING IT WAS TONS OF FUN AND FOR THE GIFTS!

WE ARE NOW ALL READY FOR THIS LITTLE MAN TO JOIN US!!!

Fathers day

Good Things to Come

Good Things to Come
“Some blessings come soon, some come late and some don’t come until heaven. But for those who embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ they come.”
Lately I have been struggling to understand why bad things always happen at the wrong time. My mom always tells me “Everyone has trails… If it’s not money it will be something else like illness or marriage issues.” When I look at it that way I would rather be broke and live in a camp trailer with my wonderful husband then have cancer or be going through a divorce. But sometimes it’s hard to look at it that way and I guess that’s what I have been struggling with. I sometimes just want things that other people take for granted for example drawers for your clothes, counter space so I can cook, a bathtub so I can relax, money for food AND bills and the list goes on forever… It seems like whenever it seem things are going to be ok something else happens like a dang cut in pay or broken down car… I am sure we have all been there…

Life has been crazy stressful lately and my emotions have been on fire and yesterday I was to the point that I thought I could not take it another day so we decided we needed to go to the temple. Well today the devil was workings full blown to see that we did not make it.... we woke up to a nasty mess! Are swearing had somehow backed up and was all over the floor! Josh was heading out side to see what was going on and slipped on the dang stair the ending result of a swollen head and wrist (luckily no superglue or stitches needed.) after cleaning up the mess and getting Josh put back together and some Tylenol in him and off to work. Not feeling the greatest myself I went and got back in bed and not 10 minutes later I threw up… at this point I knew the devil was working on me 100% and my stubbornness kicked in. NOTHING was going to stop us from going to the temple… I then heard that Josh was working and somehow got hit in the head pretty hard with a shovel (once again luckily not superglue or stitches needed.) When Josh got home from work and was feeling good enough to go we headed right to the temple before anything else happened and we really had a good time. I then came home and found this AWESOME Video/Talk and I think everyone should watch it.

Sorry for this post of complaints but I guess I just need to get it all out… I know I will not live in this trailer forever and that there is GOOD THINGS TO COME!

Dr. App

Yesterday I had a doctor’s appointment to get my official ultrasound by my doctor. Josh and I were both really excited to see our little baby again but scared at the same time because I have been having tons of dreams that Braxton was going to be a GIRL… We went into the ultrasound room full of excitement and too see how the baby is growing and looking more and more like a human. Doctor Sanders started our ultrasound and I could not put any of it together no hands no legs no head. It seemed like forever before Dr. Sanders said anything… Finally he said “He is so big and so low.” I can’t get a picture of his face… Then he continued to ask “What did the other ultrasound tech tell you? Boy or Girl?” I said BOY! He then moved it around a little and watched me try to figure it out and then FINALLY…Look at me and said well…she… Was right… he then pointed to each Cute CHUBBY leg and then right in the middle of each leg and took a picture then said “if it’s a girl she is going to need some major surgery,” lol

I was excited to find out that out our baby boy is still a boy and is doing really well… he is a big boy he is already 1 pound! I was a little disappointed that I did not get any pictures of his face or anything. But maybe next time… :D

Life

On Memorial Day weekend Josh and I went camping with our friends Nick and Karina… we found a awesome camping place in Tropic surrounded by trees and a pond with fish. The only down fall was it was a bit on the cold side. We still had a blast eating good food, fishing and playing games and just being able to relax.




GRADUATION
June started off with josh and I attending two graduations… One in Virgin Valley and one the next day in Moapa Valley! Sorry i do not have any pictures of Jaci from the Moapa Valley graduation. I was too busy fanning myself with the agenda so i didn’t pass out from the heat and lack of oxygen that was in the gym





We went Swimming…
We had so much fun! The waterfalls were so pretty. It was a long bumping drive but it was worth it. Thanks Hares for spending the afternoon with us.
You know you married a redneck when he looks like this... haha gotta love a good farmers tan.



This last weekend Josh and I decided to go to Richfield and visit Maggie and Grandpa Mark. The weather up there was so nice and it is so green and pretty. We had an awesome time & it was good to see Maggie and Mark. Thanks for letting us come and visit!!!!
