Hudson Parker Sayre

Baby boy born May 25, 2012 at 9:22pm.

7 pounds 3 ounces, 19.5 inches long and completely perfect! We love him so much!

4 More Days!

Until my due date...
I have been really hopeful that this baby boy would make his appearance a bit sooner than Saturday, but apparently he is enjoying himself in there.  For the past few weekends my dad has come home and said, "you don't look miserable enough to have the baby yet!"  Which of course I have completely disagreed with him!  I think this past weekend I think he might finally have agreed with me I am getting miserable!  I finished work on Saturday for the next 8 weeks, my parents took me and Jason to La Jolla for a little dinner celebration, and I came home and realized I was sick.  My weekend has consisted of laying around and feeling horribly sick with the flu!  Now I can't wait until I feel better and can get this baby out!

And now some bump pictures...

The last being the most recent, do I look ready to pop?  People keep telling me how small I look, funny because I actually was measuring a week ahead my last appointment! yikes!  Stay small baby!

V-Day and The Bump

For those who don't know, Jason has started working at a Mexican restaurant called Joe Vera's in Provo.  With his school schedule, work, and my work, we are basically on opposite schedules most of the week and don't see as much of each other as we used to.  On Valentines, of course Jason was working, so we celebrated by eating french toast at Kneader's for breakfast. Yum!  I also got very cute scavenger hunt around the basement :)  (Although some of the clues were written on some not so cute Walking Dead Valentine Cards....)

Today my brother and his wife arrived for LA with my cute nephew Asher!

He makes me want my own baby boy to be here already!

We went to Joe's and Jason served us.  It was fun to see him in action :)

I also realize I have been horrible about taking and posting bump pics to document this pregnancy.  It took a while for me to actually feel like a cute pregnant person instead of looking like I ate too much, and I am afraid the cute prego phase didn't last to long, I am almost in my third trimester and starting to feel big and uncomfortable.  But here are a few bump pics!

19, 20, 22, and 25 weeks.

So far my pregnancy has gone pretty well, but I can't lie I am getting more and more uncomfortable each day!  Work is still just fine as long as I take breaks to eat and sit down for a while.  Because I do a lot of standing on hard concrete floors, my hips have been super sore!  Sleeping is getting tough, hence this late night post!  I wake up having to pee or switch sides with a dead hip every hour or so and lay awake exhausted for a long time before falling asleep.  I haven't been having too many weird cravings, first trimester I craved salty things and hot dogs and mozzarella sticks, now the thought of eating a hot dog or salt and vinegar chips makes me sick!  Currently I just can't get enough ice and bananas!  Weirdly I read craving ice is a form of Pica (craving non-food items) and can be a sign of anemia, yikes!  But it is crazy to think I have only 98 days to go until this little baby is here!  I can't wait!

Top 2011 Hairstyles

In lieu of updating you on our lives as of late, I have decided to post something much less overwhelming and bring to you  my Top 5 Hairstyles of 2011!

In no particular order, they are...

Scarlett Johansson's Bob

I almost worked up the courage to chop my long hair to something like this.  It such an easy cut, and styled here so perfectly natural, the care-free hair that always seems much harder to get than it should.

Lauren Conrad's Tie-Dye Tips

LC always has such healthy and beautifully ombre colored hair, this colored version was a fun alternative to the usual blonde.  Dyed tips were so in this past year, most were far from stylish, but Lauren nailed it with both her colorful tie-dyed tips as well as her peach ombre.

Jessica Biel's Ombre Hair

Her subtle ombre so perfectly represents 2011's natural and more subdued color melting as opposed to the past's dramatic dark to platinum hair color trends.  Her color was one of the top requested colors clients requested to me this year.

Steven Tyler's Feather Extensions

Feather Hair Extensions are what I would say was the biggest trend of 2011, and lets be honest, Steven Tyler definitely wore them the best.

Emma Stone's Red Hair

Emma was blonde for some of 2011, and while she looked great then, the red she returned to was the perfect shade of red. Healthy and soft, and the perfect tone for her skin.

 

A Merry Okie Christmas!

Happy Holidays from Oklahoma!  Jason and I are here with the Sayres for the holidays.  Pictures will be posted soon.

I would just like to share the fact that my blog has been found by two people both searching,

"Tacky Christmas Tree Topping"

to my last year's Christmas post....

 LOL!

Dear World, I'm Pregnant!

Say hello to little Baby Sayre!

We are so excited!  I am somewhat of a slacker, I am 15 weeks along and just announcing to the Internet that I am pregnant.

Today we went in for our 15 week appointment, and I am pretty sure they forgot about us, we ended up sitting in the exam room for over 30 minutes before we heard the nurse outside the door tell someone we were in there.

  Finally the intern came in to get the heartbeat and Jason asked if it was too early to find out the sex (which we knew it was, but were hoping.)  He said usually they wait until 20 weeks and I wasn't scheduled for an ultrasound.  Shortly after he left my doctor showed up with the ultrasound equipment and said he'd try to figure it out before Christmas. I was sooo excited!  Apparently baby was moving around way too much, and he said he was leaning towards a girl but wasn't sure. 

This was no surprise to me, seeing as everyone who guessed thought it was a girl, including Jason.

 Then he said he'd see if the ultrasound tech could come in and take a look, so finally after waiting around for another 15 mins with goo on my belly, this time more excited than annoyed, they came back in and the ultrasound tech tried, and said she thought it was a boy, but the baby would hold still long enough to tell.  There was no way I thought it was a boy.  The doctor told us if we wanted to know before Christmas we could go to the mall and they could find a better picture.  But the tech told us we didn't need to spend money on that and took her into her room with nicer equipment and confirmed it most definitely is a boy!  They were sooo nice, I am so grateful for the extra time they spent with us!

After our appointment we went and got burgers from Parker's drive in, which I had never been to but always wanted to, sadly they are closing at the end of the year.  This was Jason's mom's tradition when she was pregnant with him, and even funnier is how we found out today the Dr. Parker who delivered Jason still practices at the clinic we go to!

We both have always wanted a boy first, and are so shocked and excited!  It is weird to completely change plans, we had the perfect name picked out and I had been thinking this was a baby girl for a long time, and now we have no clue what to name a boy!  Jason already has plans to buy camo from Cabela's, and jersey's for the baby.  

Now that I saw this little baby inside me it seems so much more real, we can't wait to meet him!

Yay for Fall!

I know, I know I am horrible blogger. I feel that I have so much to post about that I don't know where to begin! I'll make it easy on myself and start with today. Hopefully I will get around to our trip to Oklahoma for B.C. and Katie's wedding, seeing our cute new nephew Asher for the first time, and everything else soon.

When I got home from work my iPhone had arrived! For some reason Jason thought it would be a great joke to hide it from me. It didn't take me long to find it in the dirty clothes, but apparently he thought that would be the last place I would look. Since i NEVER do laundry... Proved him wrong!

This evening we took a drive up the AF canyon. I love all the beautiful colors up the canyon in the fall time. It is fun to basically see the progression of fall as you drive higher and higher, starting with green trees and ending with trees already half bare and orange. Here are some pics from Instagram which I am already spending way to much time playing with!
