Introducing Reagan Olsen

Reagan Olsen made her enterance into this world on October 19th at 8:13 AM.  Our sweet little girl weighted 7 lbs 2 oz and was 20 inches long!  We had a wonderful birth experience and I hope to have that up soon, but for now enjoy some pictures of my sweet babe :)

The home stretch!

Just a couple more weeks until our due date!!  Baby girl we would love it if you would come now :)  But we will try and be patient and keep preparing until you decide to come.  I went to my 38 week appointment and things are looking good.  Your head is down and you are sitting low just like you should!  I am dilated to 1 cm and am 70% effaced.  We are working on finishing up the nursery right now so I should have some pictures up soon once it is complete! :)

Labor Day 2012

Can I just say how much I LOVE camping!!  Our family Blackhawk trips are always my favorite and I look forward to them every year.

 

Cute Matt and Julie :)

Kyle, me, and the baby belly!

Cutest Nephew ever!

Hangin' with Uncle Kyle

Love my grandma Bradford!

Great dutch oven food was had by all!  Julie and I tried a new dessert this year: Peanut butter cheesecake swirl brownies!

More of the belly!

Craig's last Blackhawk trip before the mission!  We'll miss you over the next couple years Craig!!

 

I wish I had more pictures to share.  I get so caught up in the fun that I usually only have my camera out for a little while.  We had lots of fun.  We played games, had great food, napped, read books, sang songs, and played animal noise games with the neighboring camp grounds.  Its crazy to think that next year we'll have baby girl with us!

30 and 32 week pics

Baby girl is very active during the day and lets mommy sleep during the night :)  She gets stronger and stronger every day and it has been so fun to feel and see her move.

25 Week pic and How pregnant am I!?

Thought this little chart would help people know how far along am I.  I count everything by weeks, but most people want to know how many months.  I am now 27 weeks = 6 months = end of the 2nd trimester!  I will be getting my 27 pic up pretty soon.  I just gotta  have Kyle take one of me.  Next week I enter the 3rd trimester!  I can't believe how quick its all moved and yet its taking forever!  I'm very excited to meet baby girl!

21 and 23 week pics

Me at 21 Weeks.  This pic is not very good and I think it makes me look bigger then my 23 week pic, but I have been having some more morning sickness lately so that my be a contributing factor.

This is me and my wonderful friend Cheryl :)  We were able to celebrate her baby to be last week with a fun baby shower!  I'm about 21 weeks in this picture.  Cheryl is due in July, i'm so excited for us to have babies so close together!  Alisha hosted the showe and made just darling :)  We decorated onsies which turned out way cute!  This one below is the one I did.  Both of these pictures came from Alisha's blog.

 This is me today at 23 weeks.  I'm really enjoying feeling baby girl's movements.  Its very reasurring to have her let me know she's doing alright.  Just the other day she even let Kyle feel her with a couple good kicks.  He was so excited!  I've got my monthly appointment with Dr. Nance today and we should have the full results of our ultrasound. 

18 & 19 Weeks

Here is me at 18 weeks.

We were able to have our ultrasound on May 31st.  We had the opportunity to see our little baby and make sure everything was developing as it should.  My favorite part about the ultrasound?!  Finding out that we are having a little GIRL!!!  Baby girl is growing perfectly, but she is a little small for my first due date of Oct. 14th so they moved us back to Oct. 25th!  That is the day after our anniversary!  Crazy stuff! 

We had a fun gender reveal party with family and some close friends!  We had it at our church pavilion.  When the time came to tell everyone Kyle and I had an Elmo pinata already stuffed with pink candy that we had people take turns to whack!  It only took a few hits before my dad got up and cracked it open!  Everyone is so excited to meet baby girl Olsen! 

Me at 19 weeks

It's a GIRL!!! First gender specific gift from Grandma Applegate :)

Very excited parents!

I did have my mom get a video of them breaking open the pinata, I'll have to upload that when I get the chance :)

14 and 16 week pics

Sorry all my pics are retarded.  But it gives a little idea of where the belly is at :)  I'm 19 weeks now and next week we will be 20 and can find out what we are having!! Woo Hoo!  Don't forget to put your vote on my poll on the right side of the blog!

BOY or GIRL?!

We are getting so close to finding out what our little sweet baby's gender is!!  So I've created a poll on the side of my blog for all your guesses!!!  Everyone guess!!  You've got a 50% chance of guessing right!!  Woo Hoo!   Once we find out and announce it to family I'll let the wonderful world of blogging know!   

Trevor and Krista

KONY 2012!!

Kyle's Birthday!

My wonderful Sweet hubby turned 24 this year!! We didn't do a whole lot for his birthday this year with all the house stuff going on. He had one request this year. Kyle asked for
chocolate mousse instead of cake this year. It turned out so yummy and I will
be posting the recipe on my food blog as soon as I can locate my camera. I also
got Kyle a nice tackle bag for our fishing endeavors and Tron on Blu-ray. The
biggest present Kyle got was our new home!! We closed the day after his
birthday and moved in this past weekend! We love it! I'll have to get some
pictures up once it is all put away.

Happy Birthday my wonderful Kyle!

Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

I have always loved Valentine's! I know people complain that it is a lame holiday, but what could be better then a day set aside just to say "I Love You" to those you care about. Ya I know we should say it and feel it all the year long, but life is so busy and rushed that is just doesn't happen. That's why I'm grateful for Holidays like Valentine's, Mothers day, Fathers Day and Thanksgiving. It gives you one day out of the year to remind you of love, mom, dad, and how thankful we need to be. It is wonderful!! So if your a holiday hater, stop it right now. haha

Kyle had work and school on Valentine's so we celebrated early and went and got massages at Solase in Orem on Saturday. It was glorious! On Monday night I made Kyle and I a nice dinner and we exchanged cards. It was a nice evening just me and him. Then on Tuesday I invited my dear friend Bethany over for a girls night to make pizza. We had a blast :) Later that evening after pizza and some serious girl talk Kyle got home from School and was able to watch "Music and Lyrics" with us. He thought it was fun to have 3 girls on Valentine's day haha. (Me, Beth, and Grandma) He is so sweet!

February has been an awesome month so far! Kyle's birthday is next week and we are scheduled to close on our house next week as well! Woo Hoo! Yay for February!
