The Eddington's Experinces

Santa/Davy/haircut

2011-01-08T14:33:00.000-08:00

Roscoe met Santa for the first time this year at the church's Breakfast with Santa. I thought he was going to cry; instead, he was infatuated with his beard...

Christmas morning was awesome, too bad we were bad parents and didn't really take any pictures!

This was Roscoe's first Witten Christmas. We drove to Pahrump at night so he could sleep the whole drive there. Roscoe met most of his family and we were excited for him to meet Davy (Mila too, but she couldn't make it).

While we down there, Aunty Ruth gave him his first haircut!!! Aunty Sheri helped too. Thanks-a-bunch Ruth and Sheri!

I have been so bad... My time seems so limited the past several months.

Here are some updates:

Roscoe got his first boo boo, Kila accidentally jumped on his face while he was laying on our bed.
She scratched his chin...
Poor baby, he cried so hard. And to make matters worse, later that day was his first vaccine appt (2 months)!!!
(I know he's fat, with no neck!)

Halloween- We dressed up as Yo Gabba characters...
Shane-Muno, Me-Foofa, and Roscoe-Brobee

Yo Gabba Gabba Live - Thanks Ruth and Scott
It was a lot of fun... The show was during Roscoe's nap time so I knew it was going to be hard. At first, he was very excited - his eyes were so wide!!! He finally fell asleep while at the meet and greet....

Roscoe is mesmerized by Yo Gabba...

I haven't uploaded the pictures yet. I was so mad at myself for forgetting to
bring my camera to church but we did get some pictures of him
in his outfit at home.

Ashlee's pictures

Sorry, I've been sick...

2010-09-10T10:10:00.000-07:00

So, I know I said I was going to put up pictures of Roscoe a week ago. Well, I got sick!!! I had the flu with 104 temp for almost a whole week!!! Poor Shane, became the main parent for the week since I needed to rest as much as possible. Thanks babe, you're the best!!!

We're planning on taking more pictures with Ashlee soon for his announcement...

On his way home from the hospital...

Roscoe is doing really well. He spits up a lot and is very alert. He doesn't like to sleep during the morning half of the day much but I'm trying to introduce him to his crib a little bit at a time. He sleeps pretty well through the night most of the time. But we are still struggling to put him down after his 3 AM feeding. Once we lay him in his bassinet, he's up. He'll stay up for at least an hour before Shane or I can get him back to sleep. So I'm looking for advice on that if you have any??

His blessing day will be September 26th!!! So if you can make it, we would love for you to be there on his special day!!!

Roscoe's Arrival!!!

2010-08-25T13:33:00.000-07:00

He's HERE!!!

After days of waiting, Mr. Roscoe is finally here...

Tuesday 08/17

OB appointment, dilated to 3 cm still. Dr. scheduled for an induction; however, Wednesday was all full. I was placed on a waiting list!!! My Dr. was leaving Thursday for a weekend get-a-way and wasn't going to be around. She hinted toward us that if I had any contractions at all to go in and get admitted that way I have a bed and when they call her, she will come in to start the induction.

Wednesday 08/18

Around midnight
We thought my water broke (according to the test, it was not amniotic fluid; however, we still think it was) Drove to the hospital, got admitted and put on the monitor. I was dilated to 3.5 cm. I was having contractions every 5-7 min but didn't know this since I didn't feel a thing. Instead of calling my Dr., the nurse had the on call Dr. evaluate. His evaluation: send her home!!! WHAT!?!?! The plan was to call MY Dr. so she can tell them to keep me so she can induce me...

6 AM
Woke up with contraction pains. Timed it for 2 hours, 1 min contractions 5 min apart. Call the Labor and Delivery to see if I can go in now. They said, "NO! wait til they are 3 min apart"

Noon
Contractions started to hurt more and more. Decided to just head to the hospital.

12:30 PM
Admitted into the Labor and Delivery. Hooked up to the monitor to find that my contractions were now 7 min apart but dilated to 5 cm. The nurse asked if I wanted any pain medication, "Yes, now would be great!!!"

1:45 PM
IV, didn't hurt at all to my surprise. They numbed my hand up with lidocaine first and that hurt more than the actual IV.

2:35 PM
Got my epidural!!! Yay!!! It was awesome... I was somewhat numb. I was able to move my legs, they just felt tingly. At first, I was like crap, it didn't work, but then Terri goes, "so did you feel that contraction you just had?" um... NO!!! Sweet!

3:15 PM
The nurse check my cervix to find that I'm dilated to 7 cm, 95% effaced at station 0.

6:15 PM
Another cervical check, now I'm dilated to 8 cm.

6:45 PM
Dr. Davis finally arrives and break my water. No gush of water as I was anticipating and no pain! Dr. Davis also put me on pitocin to speed things up.

7:45 PM
I'm now dilated to 9 cm and 100% effaced.

9:00 PM
I'm dilated to 10 cm and it was time to push. I never felt any heaviness or urge to push. Started pushing and I knew it was going no where. Shane kept on saying, "You're doing great babe, almost there". I wanted to kill him! He was sooo lying to me.

11:30 PM
Dr. Davis gets mad at me... She goes, "I don't even feel like you're pushing. You're not trying"
At this point, I was ready to cry. I was pushing as much as I could. I knew I wasn't pushing correctly. I so regret not taking a Lamaze or birthing class. Now, my Dr. felt that the epidural was blocking my sensation to push correctly so she took me off the epidural and up my pitocin!!! AWG!!!! The next 15-20 min. were the worst. The contractions were so painful, I told myself - I'm never getting pregnant again. LOL Started to push some more, but at this point I was so tired. I didn't have any energy left in me. I called it quits and asked for a c-section. My Dr. tried to talk me out of it, "Just push alittle bit more and then I can help you." But I knew that wasn't true. After she left the room, we asked the nurse if I was really that close and she gave us a looked and said no. You can tell she was waiting for me to ask for the c-section. Once I did, she was right on it. They had to call in the on call anesthesiologist and I couldn't wait anymore, I told Shane, "I want the epidural, NOW!!!"

Thursday 08/19

12:45 AM
Roscoe arrived via c-section weighing 7 lb. 6 oz. 19 in. long
The c-section was great!!! Didn't feel a thing. It all happen real fast. Why didn't I ask for this a long time ago??? I did however; hyperventilated, since I hate oxygen mask. Shane kept on telling me to calm down and breath in and out real slowly.

I will post pictures next time!!!

Roscoe's Nursery

2010-08-07T11:08:00.000-07:00

So I have been waiting and waiting to put up pictures of the nursery since technically, its not complete. But I can't wait any longer and it looks like the incomplete project won't be done for awhile. Shane is still working on Roscoe's name for the wall. It will be going right between the crib and the chair... So just imagine his name on the wall right there!!!

Maternity pictures

2010-08-03T11:59:00.001-07:00

Last week, Shane and I had a little photo shoot with Ashlee and my sister, Claire. Here are their creations...

A big "Thank You" to Ashlee and Claire

(When we were taking this picture, Shane was the look out guy. He screamed "Car!!!" and all 3 of them ran of the road leaving me behind staggering to get up off the street with my big fat self!!! I felt so loved... LOL)

(According to Shane, "His Creation")

38 Weeks appointment

2010-07-17T18:40:00.000-07:00

Some pictures from one of my baby shower at Terri's...

Thanks Mom, Claire, Terri, Cathy and Ashlee...

Random pictures...

I am now 36 weeks.... Crazy! At this point, I'm done with work, yay!!! I will be off for the next 4 months on my maternity leave. So therefore, I should now have time to maintain this blog. haha who am I kidding...

So I'm starting to get sick of being pregnant; but, I'm much more nervous about the delivery. I hope Roscoe decides to stay in up to his due date. Having to get up to go to the bathroom 4 times a night is getting old and when you have a low bed, trying to get up and out of bed becomes a problem. It is such a pain to do things; like bend over to pick something up, carry a basket of laundry, tie my shoes, and put on my underwear, oh and forget about painting my toes... what toes??? I can't find them anymore... I have demanded that Shane paint my toes sometimes this week. He HATES feet so I don't think I'm going to win this battle. But its worth a try, right??? Also, the stretch marks are hideous!!! I'm super sad... I want my old body back... According to Shane, after I deliver, I must start p90x (w/ him)!!! Thanks babe!!! I was already planning on it...

My next check up is Wednesday...

Baby BOY!!!

2010-04-06T21:56:00.000-07:00

2009-10-06T14:35:00.000-07:00

Today, is Shane's birthday.... He is now 23!!!!

Shane is still going to school to become a Paramedic. He just finished his didactic part and is now starting his clinical part (Hours in the ER). So in addition to work, he is gone 3 days a week for 12 hour shifts in the ER. An example of how busy he is:

Today (his birthday) he is working a 24 hour shift

Wednesday - 12

Thursday - 12

Friday - 24

Saturday - 24

Sunday - 12

Monday - 12

Tuesday - 24

His next day off is next Wednesday!!!

I only see him when he gets home at 8 PM to sleep!!! :(

I think he is doing way tooooo much and I know he is going to be in a really grumpy mood real soon...

Anyways, this blog was suppose to be about me expressing my love and appreciation for him.

Shane:

You are the best husband ever!!! I love how hard you work to give me what I need and want. I'm so glad that I was blessed with a spouse who have dedication an passion in everything that you do. I love that you always think ahead in planning our life and even though I might not like certain aspect of it, I know that you are doing it more for me than yourself. I pray that Heavenly father will bless you with the opportunity to be hired onto a Department as a Firefighter, so you can do what you love. I love you!!!! I'm so proud of you!!! Happy Birthday!!!!

Sealing @ the Oakland Temple

2009-06-20T18:17:00.000-07:00

* forewarned, possibly too many pictures, but had to show off all of Beth's great photos THANKS BETH!!!*

On May 30th, Shane and I were sealed for all of time and eternity!!!!

We were able to share that day with many friends and family. Thank you so much everyone that were able to be there with us on our MOST SPECIAL day!!!

Here are some great pictures from that day... ENJOY!!!

Again, Thank you BETH!!!!

Graduations!!!

2009-06-06T13:30:00.000-07:00

This is graduation time!!!

3 of my friends graduated recently and it got me thinking.... It's crazy to think that 4 years ago, Shane and I were just graduating from high school. And now, I'm married in the temple to my bestfriend, have my Bachelor degree, a job, a home, a family of dogs and hopefully soon,

A REAL BABY!!! (cross your fingers).

Heavenly Father have blessed me so much and I'm so very grateful that I was able to meet my eternal companion at such a young age and that my parents raised me to always plan and organize my life so that it WILL, all fall into place, like it did for me.

I hope to all of my friends that graduated, that they may find jobs that will make them happy.

Congratulations!!!

Also last week, Shane and I welcomed home a dear friend of ours, who has been gone on his mission in Georgia. He is finally HOME!!! We really missed him and glad that he is back home with us. Now we just need to find him, his eternal companion!!!!!

What's wrong with this picture???

2009-04-08T15:15:00.000-07:00

Faith in God

2009-04-08T14:47:00.000-07:00

I was recently called to be a Faith in God leader. Yesterday, was our first meeting and when it was over, I needed 5 excedrins.

WOW!!!! Girls are loud and crazy but fun too!!!

Anyways, I have to say, my other calling as the Nursery leader is much easier.

I have 8 girls and all of them want to go first in everything we do. Which is great, but not when they're all screaming "ME FIRST, ME FIRST" in my ears. But I have a solution to this. Terri recommend me to write out their names on notecards and randomly pick names. I hope this will work. I think it will.

Honestly, beside the throbbing headache. I love this calling. I get to feel young again. The girls are all awesome and I'm excited. As my sister told me when I called her to vent, she simply replied,

"Well, I guess Heavenly Father wants you to work on your patience."

And I will work on it.

But, I would love some advice and suggestions if you have any. Thanks!!!!

I made a basket of prizes for when the girls pass off each Article of Faith... They loved it...

So I came home from work to this...

They do it every time, but I just always forget to shut the door... At least they're having fun when Shane and I aren't home...

Here are some funny pictures of the girls:

Uncle Aaron hiding Lexi... I know it's blurry...

Well I guess it's not Lexi... stupid me... Shane came home and informed me that it's actually, Cousin Olive... whoops... But it is still adorable...

My Brother, Henry, talking or maybe yelling at them... I'm not real sure... But Kila is really listening...

And last but not least... Kila lovesssssss the

Heater...

I found her asleep with her head rested on the wheel...

HOW CUTE????

Updates...

2009-01-14T18:08:00.000-08:00

I have been so busy and I forgot my password and recently just changed it...

Therefore, I am now here to update...

1. I got my job back... but now I'm only working 2 days/wk

2. Shane is starting Paramedic school in 2 weeks

3. We had a lot of family over for the Witten Christmas Party

4. Cousin Lola and Olive came to visit Kila and Lexi

5. Lexi got spayed this week...

Shane dropped her off since he was off that day... It must have been really hard for him since they are both very close. Well...

She is feeling better even though all she wants to do is cuddle which is fine with us... We have been watching The Office past seasons as a family...

But the sad part is that whenever Shane goes outside to either get the mail, throw out the trash or run an errand... Lexi is totally freaking out... I think she thinks he's leaving her again... It makes me sooo sad...

Twilight!!!

2008-11-21T15:40:00.000-08:00

Twilight was bad... Shane and I watched the midnight show. We waited in line since 9 PM. I knew it wasn't going to be awesome... but I didn't expect it to be as bad as it turned out to be...

First off, I wasn't too sure about Rob Pattinson. Edward??? I didn't think he fit the part. But he did a lot better than Kristen Stewart. She didn't get into the character at all... She made lines that should have been emotional and heart felt,

CHEESY

because of the way she was acting.

In addition, the effects were poorly done. But the worst part for me was the scene where the Cullen Family were supposed to defend Bella. Seriously,

I LAUGHED!!!

It wasn't scary or frightening at all. They should have made them look more aggressive. If you haven't watched it... Do so, just for the scene when James comes during baseball... I was laughing soooo hard...

But... I still

LOVE

the books and Rob Pattinson was better than I expected (except when he first smelled Bella... He was suppose to be in pain but his attempt at it was HORRIBLE...)

Please people... Watch it and tell me what you think about it...

Fire, Fire!!!

2008-11-18T15:30:00.000-08:00

Well, I am now aware of how to right click on a Mac (Thank you Claire). The help is no longer needed...

Here are some pictures... I need to get more from Terri...

Shane getting into his turnouts in 60 seconds...

DONE!!!

I really like this picture...

Thank you everyone for all of your support!!!

Our first blog, WOW!!!

2008-11-17T18:10:00.000-08:00

So I was

laid off

last Tuesday... Worst day of my life!

So now I'm sitting here with free time. I bought a book today, Chasing Harry Winston, which I just started, but I really can't read all day. So my next project is.......

BLOGGING!!!

I told myself that I wasn't going to create one until I was pregnant but that didn't work out. MySpace got a little lame... and so here I am starting a blog...

Enough about me...

Shane recently just graduated from the Fire Academy on Thursday (good timing, since he can now go back to work...) I am soooo proud of him!!! I will post up pictures of the Graduation as soon as I get them from my sister. Shane and I have a Mac and

I LOVE it.

But I'm just so lost half of the time... I miss right clicking... I can't save the Graduation pictures from her MySpace to my computer...

HELP??? ANYONE???
