Plus One

June 15 2011, 36 weeks pregnant,and a breeched baby.


I woke up that morning not knowing that I was in labor, I had my weekly doctor appointment that morning and we were going to pick a date to do the c-section (as Jasper was breeched.) I went to work for a few hours and told the girls that I just really felt weird and not like myself. I went to my appointment and just as we were going to pick a date, my doctor said lets just check you first, I remember her face and her telling me that she was getting kicked a lot and that surprise!!.. I was at a 4. She told me to go to the hospital just to be safe and that she would let the other doctor know I was on my way. I left the doctors and called Toms cell, he didn't answer so I had to call him at work. I told him what was going on and he asked if he needed to come up to the hospital, I told him no because I really thought they were just going to monitor me and send me home later that day. I told him I would keep him posted, so we hung up and I called my mom, She was very shocked and talking to her I started to get worried that I might have this baby today, but still I just thought no im just going to be monitored. As I got to the hospital Tom called and said that everyone at work told him to leave and be with me.( Which I was very grateful for.) They got me into a room and got me hooked up to all the monitors and I was a little uncomfortable but I wasn't in to much pain. Still didn't realize that those were contractions.. lol My doctor came in and checked me again and this time I was at a 6 .....I remember him looking at the resident with a shocked/ concerned look and said well it looks like were having this baby today. He told us that he had one before us then we would do ours in about a hour and a half. Tom asked if he could go home and get a camera and things for me, as I had nothing ready,( I thought I still had a few weeks! )He told Tom there wasn't time and threw some scrubs at him to change into. Thats when it all sunk in that I thought I cant have him now, hes not ready to come out, im not ready! But it wasn't up to me, He wanted to come out now! About a half hour later they came and got me in the OR and ready to have my baby. It wasnt how I pictured that moment to be I thought I would be in labor for hours have to push and push or maybe still have a c-section, but being able to have all that time preparing yourself for your baby, not within 2 hours of going to the doctor.
As they started to cut, Tom just held my hand and squeezed hard it when they pulled him out, all of the sudden our lives changed, the moment I have been longing for, for 5 years was here. I became a Mother. As they brought him to be cleaned I saw my baby just looking around taking it all in and I could feel his sweet spirit, a spirit that Heavenly father choose for us. It was the most amazing feeling ever.
Jasper Evan Schmitt was born at 2:30pm, weighing 5 pounds 12 ounces and 19.5 inches long. He was perfectly healthy for being a preemie. I was and still am so thankful for that.




He was just so small.




A week after we had him we moved into our new house. Talk about alot of things happening all at once, A baby one week, new house the next and within a month Tom will be starting Dental School.. When it rains it pours for the Schmitts.
Growing and getting some chub on him.


I just love him.

Utah and Baby shower

This past week I went out to Utah for a quick visit to my family and a Baby shower. My trip started off a little rough, by getting stranded overnight in the Denver airport due to a freak snow storm, so after much scrambling around we got me safely to my moms house and I got to spend time with the people I love the most. It was sad that it was so short but after baby boy comes flying out wont be easier....... but ill have more time to come out if i want.


These are the horses that come to visit Mom and Dads.
Sweet darling Julia I love her and miss her so much already! she just smells wonderful and is just so kissable.
Ryan didn't like me too much this trip, it was too short for him to warm up to me. I hate it that we live so far apart that its like that when I see my sweet little nephew.
Darling
My sisters and Mom put together my Shower, Amber was the mastermind behind it all , and for those of you who know my sister, anything she does always turns out amazingly beautiful. It was a Milk and cookie theme.
These are the cups that we drank out of.
Milk table
And the beautiful way she put all the cookies together!






My wonderful sisters, who I am grateful are good examples to me and are such a support to me in my life. If I can somehow manage to be half the moms that they are I will be happy.
And my Wonderful mom who is the best motherly example I could ask for.
These are my sweet sister in laws who came to the shower, and its fun because we are all pregnant. Suzanne is about 15 weeks, me 32 and Amy almost 40.
Beautiful Amber
This picture makes me happy, in only a handful of weeks that baby on my chest will be my own sweet little angel that I have waited so long to have. I cant wait!

Christmas

Christmas was a little different this year, But different is good sometimes.

Tom and I flew out along with the whole Schmitt clan to Utah to spend it with our families. And It was wonderful! I cant tell you how much it sucks that my whole family lives out west, it makes it hard to see people and to share memories with, but I think we did good this year.

Time flies and the kids who were just babies the last time you saw them are now running around talking laughing and are so big. It makes me sad a little bit.
Toms mom made all the boys matching pjs and all the girls these cute hats.
One day we had a big Schmitt gathering, I didn't get a picture of all 30 of us but it was a crazy and good day. Toms Grammy carved us this huge Santa which is amazing and we love it!
Christmas eve and Christmas day I think were my favorites! We got to spend those two days with my Parents and sisters. It been years since we all have been together. it was good to laugh and be our little family again.
Christmas day after we did present and ate we had the kids put on the Nativity. It was good, next year it will get better :)
But you cant tell me those are not the cutest Joseph and Shepard ever.

Eva loves the movie Tangled so this year she pretty much got everything Tangled including the wig.
I wished we all lived closer, I already miss them so much!!!
