Merry Christmas to US!

Today was a hard day! Robby woke up went to work and I started off my day being a mommy and studying for a final I had to take today. Robby came home early so I could go to SLC and take my test. Everything seemed great but when I got home my husband looked at me with a very serious face and said "I have some bad news." I looked at him and and for a second I thought someone had died or was hurt. He then said "I got layed off". I instantly started to cry so many emotions ran through my mine and we didnt see this coming at all. Those of you that don't know my husband, he never never cries, ever! He hardly ever shows any emotion and he started to cry and we just hugged eachother and cried together. It was a HUGE shock. Right before the baby Wes was born Robby got a HUGE raise and a company I-phone so who would have thought this would come three months later?? I know everything will be okay and that is why we have been building a savings, for times like these right? I am just sad because I know I will have to go back to work now. With the pay Robby was making I was able to stay home and be with my baby but there is no way he will make was he was making, it was such a blessing that we did get that pay for the months that he worked. I am blessed that when I do go back to work my mother in law is just up the road to help us out. This is mine and my husbands first real trial as a family. Ever since we have been married we have never stressed about money and have always been able to go and do whatever we want. This is such a humbling experience for sure and this is the first time I have personally been affected by the economy and it sucks. I know that we are blessed and we have so much friends and family support and we will be okay. I know our heavenly father will watch over us and keep a roof over our heads. But Merry Christmas to us! haha!

Blessing Day

Great Grandpa and Grandma Welling, Grandpa Welling, Robby and baby! The fun 4 generation picture!

Today was such a wonderful day! My sweet little Wes got blessed by his dad. Robby did such a great job and I cried, I am such a baby. We had so many family and friends come support Wes on this special day it was great. Thanks to my in-laws for letting us have the luncheon at their house there was no way our place could have accomodated 70 people. The blessing outfit he wore was the outfit that Robby wore when he got blessed almost 24 years ago. The little tux looked so cute on him. Thanks for everyones love and support we couldn't have done it without you!!

His blessing outfit that his daddy wore too.

Cute Dad and son

All Smiles

I love being a mom to this baby. He is such a happy baby and just smiles all the time and I love it. I get to wake up to these smiles everyday and it is such a joy. I was watching 16 and Pregnant the other day on MTV and this teen mom was explaing what being a mother was like to her friend and she related it to being in PRISON!! What!! I love being a mother and don't know how anyone could ever think it would be like prison. Being a mother is a wonderful blessing and I am so happy to have a HAPPY healthy baby boy!! Oh and he is kinda laughing, almost there!!

He loves his bath time!!

Halloween Fun

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We were able to hitch a ride with Robbys parents to visit his brother 12 hours north! The little guy did so good! Didn't really fuss too much and slept the entire way. When he was awake he just smiled at me and Robby. For the most part he is such a happy baby I love it. I love how he is starting to smile and he is almost laughing! Can't wait for that. Little Wes was a chicken, he really didn't enjoy his costume too much so he basically was just in it for pictures. I was a pig and Robby was a good sport and was a cow. Overall it was fun and always good to get home after a long drive.

One of the cutest chickens I have ever seen!

Introducing Weston Keith Welling

1 Month Old and getting some cheeks!

2 weeks old

2 weeks old

- Just a couple hours old!!

It has been awhile since I have posted anything for two reasons. 1- I have been super busy, I am taking three classes right now and being a new mom I am constantly doing something and 2- I don't even know if anyone reads my blog so why go to all the work to post stuff. My good friend Janee and Grandma have asked me if I have updated my blog latelty and now I can tell them I have!!

Our little Weston Keith Welling came into the world on September 7th 2010 at 7:01 p.m.! Weighing 8 lbs and 1 ounce and 21 inches long! It was a huge surprise to both me and Robby because my Doctor kept telling me my baby was measuring soooooooo small and that is why he pushed my due date back an entire week and half about! RAGE! Me and Robby couldn't be more thrilled with this little guy, he is a very calm baby and does not cry unless he is hungry or gassy

:(We did find out he was allergic to milk and protein so he has to be on this SUPER expensive formula! It ONLY comes in a 16oz can and costs about 26 dollars a can! We hope he will grow out of the protein allergy!! I stopped breast feeding when this all happened. If I were to continue breast feeding I could only eat really really lean mean and vegetables! With all of the stress with school and being a new mom I felt too overwhelmed to always watch every little thing I ate so...Hopefully better luck with the next child!

Names...

I never thought that naming a child would be so hard. Growing up there were always names I loved and knew those would be the names I would choose but little did I forget that my husband has to agree as well. We agreed on the name Weston early on and that is what people call this little guy but I will randomly shoot out names to Robby to see if he likes them such as Boston or Porter, or Caleb and he usally says NO...but the other day I asked if he like Kaden and he said YES! So now that might be the name of our little guy. I just can't decided. I never thought how hard it would be to just pick a name! Hopefully when I see this little guy I will just decide what he looks like more a Weston or a Kaden!

As of late..

Last week we had the fun chance to head to Arkansas to visit Robbys sister and her family. They also needed our help moving. I wasn't too much help since I am prego and my back hurts but Robby was a huge help to them and we always love seeing them when we get the chance! Robby sister has the cutest children and it is always not stop laughing when you have big boy Walker in sight. It also got me excited for my little man because she just had a baby boy named Wyatt a couple months ago and he is so stinkin cute.. I can't wait to see my little guy. The one this about Arkansas is that is not only hot but has humidity. My feet swelled up like a balloon. We had a great time and were sad to leave!

My pregnancy is moving along! I am 30 weeks a long now and have 10 more to go and can't believe how fast it has gone. I am ready to be done being pregnant. I don't enjoy it and I am getting swollen and that is no fun either. I went to my doctor the other day and he got mad at me for gaining too much weight in one week. I have only gained a total of 16 pounds so I don't know why he was being so weird about it. I am right on track and I feel like I am just retaining water so that is why I gained 7 pounds in 1 month. But overall I am getting way excited but I am also so scared, I hope I can be a good mother. Here is a picture of me at 30 weeks!

Excitement!

Today I went to a doctors appt! The doctors office I go to I get an ultrasound every time so it is so exciting to go becuase I get to see my little dude! He now weighs 1 pound 14 ounces so almost 2 pounds! I can't even believe how big he is getting it is crazy. I also gained a lot of weight last month! A total of 6 pounds in one freaking month, but its okay because my baby is growing and I will grow too. I have gained a total of 13 pounds so far and I am 26 weeks a long so about normal I guess my doctor says. We got some 3D pictures of our little Weston today. It is a picture of a picture so it doesn't look too great..but if you look closely you can see his little face and his arm. Its so cool to know that in just 3 months I will be holding this little man!! I took this picture of me today at 26 weeks! My face looks so huge, a part of me keeps telling myself that I am carrying some of my baby is my face haha!

Pregnancy 411

24 Weeks Pregnant

Baby weighs about 1 pound and 4 ounces.

Weight Gain?: So far I have gained 7 pounds.
Stretch Marks?: I don't have any yet but I know those don't start coming till later so we will see...
Name?: We always loved the name Weston from the start and when we found out it was a boy everyone calls him Weston so thats the name. Weston Keith Welling. Keith is after my grandpa Strong who passed away when my father was only six months so I was never able to meet him and now his name will live on!:)

Maternity Clothes?: Yes, I still can fit into some of my jeans and even button them but maternity clothes are just much more comfortable and my sweet mother in law was so nice to take my shopping and buy my all these maternity clothes.

Sleep?: I can still sleep at night the only thing is I sleep on my back and always find myself waking up in the night switching to my side.

Food cravings?: Mexican food, I love bean and cheese burritos! I also love chocolate milk which I never really cared for before I was pregnant.

Best moment of the week? Having Robby feel Weston! Finally he was able to feel him, it was cool.

What I miss?: Being able to run and fit into my clothes. Before I got pregnant I gained about 15 pounds being married so I first off started this pregnancy off the highest I have ever weighed in my life and I was looking at old pictures when I was a 125 pounds and I will never complain again about being fat because I was so skinny!! 11 out the 15 pounds I gained was just from last fall semester. I took 6 classes last fall and I was constantly sitting at work and then sitting at school and never worked out once not once in the fall semester so I look forward to getting back into shape after this baby.

Pregnancy is a lot different than I expected. I have been pretty sick and now I have a lot of back pain. But the the pros do weight the cons for sure. I love feeling him and I love going to the doctors and seeing him in the ulrasounds. Me and Robby just can't wait to meet him..

Healthy Boy

Thursday I went and got my "Targeted Ultrasound". It was a 20 minuete ultra sound where they checked everything and made sure all the major bones and organs are developing at the same rate. As for all of that he is happy healthy boy. He is moving all the time, but every time I grab Robby to feel him he suddenly stops. Naughty boy. But we are happy and excited to see what he will be like. We got this 3D shot of him at 22 weeks. It is cool to see his little face.

It's a Boy

Me and Robby found out that we are having a boy! We are so excited! I knew all along it was a boy and according to Robby he doesn't make girls yet....So we are excited and I slowing starting to look pregnant but people probably just think I am getting fat!

New at this

So I decided to get a blog because now that we are having a child and our lives will be interesting I know loved ones that don't have facebook would like to see how we are doing. So this is my first official post and I feel weird!
