.Sweet Baby Chandlar.

So I finally have some time on my hands to post a little something about our precious baby. Chandlar Rae is exactly one week old today. I never realized how much fun it would be to have her finally here. She is such a pleasure, and Skylar and I can't get enough of her sweet spirit. I love being a mom and knowing that she is all mine. Its such a great experience to go through something like giving birth. Words cannnot explain the emotion. Skylar has been nothing but generous to both me and the baby. He does everything he can to help out. I love my husband and I couldn't do it without him. I love watching how sweet he is to Chandlar. Its so cute how he holds and talks to her. As for Chandlar.. her specialities are eating sleeping and pooping. She is such a good baby and I'm very thankful for that. I'm also glad how healthly she is. I was very surprised to find out that she was a 7 pound baby. I'm so excited to watch her grow and learn new things. My life will never be the same, but I can't imagine it with out her. I'll be sure to keep you all posted on how we are doing. Thanks for all of you who care about us and for those who have done so much for our little family.

ITS A GIRL!!!......

Ok I know that a lot of you are anxious to know about our baby so I am going to tell but remember this is usually Chanells job so no guarantees!!! Chandlar Rae Godfrey was born on Monday September 29th 2008 at 7:29 am. She weighed 7lbs 14oz and is 20 inches long. As you can see from the picture she has tons of dark curly hair and we love it!! Chanells labor at the hospital was about 10 hours, not to mention the labor she was in all day before we went to the hospital (I guess thats what happens when your water breaks and you don't go to the hospital until 6 hours later:) but we didn't know that it had broken so we are innocent:) Chanell and Chandlar are doing GREAT!! We are happy to be home today where it is much more comfortable but I will have to admit that the staff at Banner Gateway Medical Center were all amazing and really made us comfortable and our stay there was pleasant. Well this is all for now, once Chanell gets some rest I am sure she will delete my boring post and give everyone all the details

Big Disappointment :(

As most of you know I'm getting close to having my baby. My due date is on Monday ( Sept 29). Yesterday, Skylar and I went to the doctor hoping that there would be a little progress. Much to our disappointment nothing has changed at all. I still haven't dilated and I have only effaced a little. The Doc was surprise as well to see that the little rascal wasn't ready. He didn't seem too concerned, but if I still don't have any progress next appointment he'll schedule me to be induced. I really hope that nature will take its course and I won't have to go through the induction. I've been so ready for this pregnancy to be over, and I hope things will go well. I know that Heavenly Father is watching over me, and I know he knows whats best. Lets just hope something happens real soon. I guess you never know.....things could happen real quickly. I could be in labor tonight and have her in no time. But I guess we'll see what happens. Hopefully next time I post something I'll have some good news to write about and a new little addition that we have long been waiting for.

! CELEBRATE !

I had a baby shower that my sister Jessie put together for me on Saturday. It was so much fun to see all my friends and family there. Thanks to all who were able to make it and to those who couldn't but still gave me a gift. I appreciate it. I am very grateful for all the gifts I received. Its going to be so much fun to use them on our bundle of joy, who will hopefully be here soon. I'm 38 weeks today and counting down. I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday, so hopefully He'll tell me that I'm at least dilated. The last two appointments there hasn't been any kind of progress (other than that I'm beginning to soften) so I'm hoping for some good news this week. I'll let you all know if there is any sign of me having this baby any time soon. I'm beginning to think that I'll be pregnant forever. : [

Woods Canyon Lake

A couple of Saturdays ago Skylar and I met up with our friends, Jason and Emily & David and Traci for a fun and relaxing time at Woods Canyon Lake. It was so much fun to be with friends and get away from the heat of the valley. Skylar and I woke up early to drive to Christopher's creek to meet up with our friends. From there we went and had a nice picnic by woods canyon lake. Later that night we enjoyed each others company by playing games, cooking some steak and eating some yummy desert at Traci's cabin. It was a fantastic day and we are so grateful that they invited us. I can't believe all the amazing things we can do here in good ole Arizona!!

Happy 25th and Other Things!!

Skylar's 25th Birthday was Saturday and and we had a fun time celebrating. I decided to take him out to one of his favorite restaurants called Vito's on the night before. We had some good times with our friends, and we enjoyed their awesome pizza. Skylar's not a big fan of pizza usually but he loves this little Italian restaurant so I wanted to take him here for a real treat. It was a lot of fun. I should of taken a picture of the people who joined us but I forgot I had our camera until the last minute. But thank you Anthon, Amy and Jermery for coming with us. Then on Saturday I surprised him with his presents ( he always seems to find out every time what i get him), made him breakfast(which rarely happens) and made his favorite dessert peach cobbler,which I ruined because I'm an air head and forgot about it. But we still manged to eat a little bit of it and had a great time doing so. Even though there were a little quirks I still hope he had some fun. I can't believe how old he's getting.... just joking I love you sky and I'm so glad we got to spend the day together.

Other than Skylar's birhtday I am happy to annouce that I am finally 32 weeks a long, so that means I only have about 8 weeks to go. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. Skylar and I are both waiting very anxiously for the big day to happen. I think I am lot more nervous than Skylar for obvious reason, but it will be over before I know it. We have began our collection of baby things and have been very lucky to get our big purchases for a very great deal. It's been a lot of fun getting things together. Anyway, I just wanted to post this for people who were wondering how things have been. I'm hanging in there and getting things done as best as I can. I have to admit... its been a lot of fun experiencing this whole thing we call pregnancy.

Welcome Home Anthon!!

On Thursday July 10th Skylar's little brother returned home from is mission in New York. It was so exciting to be at the airport with the family to welcome him home. It was a great experience. After his arrival we went and ate some mexican food, swam and had a good time catching up with Anthon. It is so neat to see how much he had grown up from his experience as a missionary. The next day we drove up to Snowflake to spend more time with him and the family and had the chance to hear him speak in sacrament meeting. What a great time we all had. We are so grateful that he was able to serve a mission and that he is finally home. Welcome Home Anthon, we love you!!!
