Seth Ethan Sargent

***Update- I literally decided the name walking out of the hospital... He just looks like a Seth to me, and I know a pretty amazing man with the same name :) Man does he have some big shoes to fill***
"Dopey" finally arrived... I really thought he was never coming... spent the morning getting a massage and pedicure then went into labor in the cafe rio line... Drove home from Park City with contractions 1-2 minutes apart, picked up daddy, left the big sister screaming that she didn't want to stay with Grandpa she wanted mama to stay home, made it to the hospital with plenty of time... He came just before Midnight last night, the 19th. Weighed in at 8 pounds 2 ounces (I knew he was bigger the Sienna) and 20 inches long... He has hair, not as much as his sister but quite a bit, looks more like a Sargent to me, then the Winterton babies. We have not named him yet, kind of feeling like a bad mama... Hopefully I will decide tonight! Wish me luck! All I can say in Merry Christmas to us, best present ever!

Christmas Pictures

Every year for Christmas we try to get Grandkid pictures taken. I swear it get's harder every year (especially with 2 little girls the same age.) We had one of my sister-in-laws really good friends take this the day after Thanksgiving and I think they turned out great! It's so fun to see the changes every year and see how the kids personalities develop... The above shot is the only belly shot I have of this pregnancy. I was 35 weeks and I love how it turned out.

This pretty much sums up Sienna & Brooklyn's relationship. They are 6 weeks apart, Brookie being older and they pretty much just "tolerate" each other... But this last time they were here they did play pretty well together... I know they will be best friends and they are so lucky to have each other so close in age.
This is my brother & his cute family. I LOVE how this picture tunred out. I know I'm a little biased but I'm pretty sure they have the cutest kids ever. I truly love that I have a big brother and we have had so much fun with these guys. They went to school in Oregon the same time we were up there so we relied on each other A LOT!!! Savi is Steve's baby girl through and through and Porter was all mine... That kid LOVED me, even if he doesn't remember now! I wish they live closer but it's so fun when we get to see them.
This picture cracks me up... Porters smile, Little miss Brookie, she was so stubborn this day... And of course my little Bienna... We tried to get her to kneel down by Porter but she was to busy twirling in her dress...
Oh man this child... She was such a cheeser this day... But the good thing is, it shows her personality and thats all that matters. Plus, Granparents think any picture of their grandkids is the best anyways!!!
Thanks Whitney for taking these!

So I now believe that we have stopped this baby from coming so many times, he doesn't think that we want him...
I made it to the safe zone, I'm off bed rest so hopefully that will push me over the edge...
I really don't want to complain but I am so DONE!!!
Every time this kid moves I feel like he is sticking a giant knife into my left kidney.
It's really time!!!
On a side note Sienna got in trouble on Sunday night.
Daddy got after her so she ran up to her bedroom.
He went up to talk to her and she was hiding under her blanket.
He told her he wanted to hold her and she told him
"she didn't need him"
then Steve told her he still loved her and she looked at him and said
"you say you sorry daddy?"
Steve felt kind of bad after that...

Happy 11 Years Babe...

Today is our 11th wedding anniversary.
I can't believe we have been married so long. I know I say that every year but it goes by so fast...
Unfortunately baby brother decided he wanted to try and make an early arrival. I wasn't feeling good Wednesday night and thought I was getting kidney stones. By 11:00 that night I was hovered over bawling in pain. We called the doc, were admitted to St. Mark and found out there were no kidney stones but I was in labor. My contractions were coming 1 minute apart and I'm pretty sure the look on Steve's face was priceless... I don't think he knew it was that bad when we left for the hospital. I just didn't want to be one of those people who showed up thinking something was going on when nothing was... Needless to say I was in a little trouble for lettng it go on as long as we did... At this point in the pregnancy they decided to let me contract and see what happened. I was far enough along to deliver but they were still nervouse to have him come this early. I contracted all night until about 9am with the help of morphine and then the two doctors taking care of me decided to shoot me up with a small dose of the drug to stop labor... Luckily after that, they stopped and the pain went away... I was sent home with orders to only get up to use the bathroom and that any tiny little contraction I would need to come back ASAP... I was told when it happens it's going to go fast because I'm so far along so I'm just praying I don't deliver this little guy at the top of Parleys. Lucky for me my doctor lives in Park City and she said she would just pull over, pop her hatch and deliver the kid right there... Personally, I would prefer to have the drugs... LOTS of drugs! Baby boy did great through all the stuff... He's a trooper... They were prepared to deliver him Wednesday night so everyone was surprised I didn't go... I just wanted him to have a little longer to get a little bigger... We're hoping to make it at least one more week but Steve is betting I don't make it past the weekend... He doesn't think I make a good bed rest person... But in the end, I have to do what's best for the baby... Who want to leave the hospital with their baby still in the NICU??? SO.... Pray for one more week, that's all I need... What a way to spend our anniversary... 11 years ago we were just coming out of the temple. Now, we're preparing for baby boys arrival... (Who still has NO NAME!!!)

Due Date...

Well, D-Day is approaching rapidly... I thought I would be a little more prepared this time around!
I was so wrong!
I don't feel like I am ready in the least to have this baby boy arrive.
With Sienna, I had the bags packed, crib assembled, clothes washed and every little detail prepared.
This kid has nothing ready... I take that back, I did get the car seat down, that's good right?
I was hoping to go a week over with baby brother but at this point I just want him out!
I am beginning to wonder if you can actually explode with pregnancy.
Sometimes I feel like he is literally tearing my skin from the inside out! I swear he's going to weigh 30 pounds by the time he gets here.

On the upside, this pregnancy has been pretty fun. Seeing Sienna's reaction to the growing belly and the little nudges baby brother gives her is priceless. Too bad she's to young to remember.
The thing that I am stressed the most about is loving the second one as much as
I love my first! I know it sounds crazy and I'm sure my heart has enough room in there somewhere but it's still pretty scary. I just don't want to take anything away from her
or make her resent me in any way. It's going to be a BIG change for her.
She has been the center of our universe for almost 3 years!
I remember when my little sister was born. Granted we were six years apart but man I did not like that girl. I don't think I liked her until a couple of years ago.
Sienna informed me last week that she didn't want baby brother to come and when he get's here she's going to "hit him" Seriously, where did that come from?
My other major concern now is what to name this kid...
I literally feel like he is going to be nameless until he can name himself. I have the name that I want but daddy is not agreeing. I'm hoping he just gives in when he gets here and I get what I want. At this point he is either referred to as "baby brother" or "Dopey"
Sienna is determined that his name is going to be Dopey Sue Sargent.
Wish me luck convincing her otherwise.
That girl is pretty strong willed...
So, if anyone has any name suggestions, please send them my way!
I'm not lying when I say we have no name what-so-ever that we agree upon!
In my defense, I let Steve name Sienna...
So it should be my turn, right?
