We went to Boise this last weekend and had a FABULOUS time with the family.  We left Thursday night and thought it would take us 5 hours to make it there, BUT realized, hello, that we have a newborn that likes to eat every three hours (and mom likes to get him out of the car seat every 2 hours to stretch) and the eating takes about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to eat.  So a 5 hour car ride turned out to be a 7 hour car ride.  We stayed at David and Blair's home and were treated like a king and queen.  These are the little cousins...Abby, Preston, Meghan, and Taylor.

We are finally home from the hospital. I am doing much better, but it was scary there for awhile. I do feel like an 80 year old woman taking my blood pressure medications. Yes, my pressures are still high, but the doctors are hopeful that I will be completely back to normal. My kidneys and liver are almost to where they should be. I am just so blessed to have such a good little baby!! In the end it was all worth it!!

Preston James Teare

Tuesday, June 10, 2:45 am - 7 lb 10 oz @ 20 in

The labor and delivery was quick, however rough for Sarah.  Little Preston did and is doing so well.  Sarah was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia after delivery.  It usually happens before delivery and would effect the baby.  Fortunately, little Preston is perfectly fine.  I'll save the typing and have ya just hit the link to read up on it.  It was rather scary seeing her suffer so, and being so sick.  We are grateful for the many prayers and thoughts.  She is doing so much better now and lab values are normalizing.  We just need her kidneys to catch up with the progress.  Hopefully if things continue on its course, she can come home within the next couple days.  

Preston is SO adorable.  I sit and hold him for hours and just stare.  I don't even realize the time going by.  It is just so surreal to be at this point in life and to experience something so special.  I am indeed blessed and very excited to be a father.  I don't think I have ever seen a baby with so much hair!

Will this baby EVER come?

So I am still waiting for this baby to come!!  My due date was yesterday. Ugh!! My dad calls me everyday to know what the status is... NOTHING!!  So I have done quite a bit of internet searching and am finding great things that I would either love to do OR buy (if I had lots of money). 

Number 1.... I LOVE this purse!!  I found it blog searching... Amy Butler pattern... Camille I think she mentions you in one of her (or your) quilts-What a famous friend I have :)

Number 2..... I LOVE this purse...Storksak...It looks like an awesome diaper bag.

As you can tell I am looking hard for a diaper bag.  I failed already at ordering a purse and sent it back due to it being so boring.  Oh my husband LOVES (I should say likes) this purse....Petunia Pickle Bottom - Scout-

Basically I am just waiting maybe to see what kind of baby I will have before buying a diaper bag...I feel like it is such a huge investment!  Knowing me in the end I probably won't purchase one and will carry all of my son's stuff in a plastic baggy. 

This last weekend I decided to put on a surprise birthday party for Josh. I don't know why we are into surprising one another at the moment, but I figured this was the best time for Josh to have a party. Lets just say he was shocked. I realized that I didn't get a lot of good photos. I blame that on the pregnancy. We had a great BBQ and thanks to all who could make it!!

I gave Josh an early birthday present. You see every night we both struggle with stuffy noses (okay it is really me that drives Josh crazy with my clogged nose). So I thought he could try this and see if it works. It is called a neti pot... It is very interesting, but it does the job well. I have not laughed so hard in a long time watching Josh attempt the neti pot.

I had a surprise baby shower that was put on by my dear sweet sister-in-laws, Amanda and Alicia. I received some fabulous gifts and am now ready for the baby. My mom knitted so many baby sweaters and made a bow tie quilt that is just adorable! Yes, and my stomach just keeps getting bigger everyday. I have about 3 more weeks until this little man comes into our lives.

Here I am 7 months pregnant!! Sorry I haven't posted like forever, but Josh has done such a great job at keeping the update. Lets see my life is still the same.....I am finishing up my nursing class and am dreading doing another. Last night Josh and I were trying to figure out a hobby for me and I kept saying work and school. So if there are any suggestions on hobbies I would love to hear. ALSO if there are any suggestions on what to buy for the baby.......like brand of car seat, crib, diaper bag and so forth....Oh and does anyone really use a baby carrier like the sling?

Our sexy new purchase.  2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS.  Midnight blue... oh and 24/33 mpg :) Well, we'll see...
