2 Months Already

Oh Man! This little cutie is growing up way to fast.  Just a few little updates about her.  She weighs almost fourteen pounds so yes she is extremely CHUBBY!(or should we say fat).  I love all her little chubby roles and boy does she have a lot.  Korver is the sweetest baby very rarely will she cry and the only time she even gets a little fussy is at night.  We still have our nights and days mixed up, but it is getting a little better.  She wakes up around 12:30 and will be up until 1:30, but she sleeps until about 9:30 in the morning after that 1:30 feeding.  So I am pretty happy about that.  She is finally starting to smile real smiles and not just gas smiles.  She has the cutest little dimple and I can't wait until she smiles all the time.   She has finally found her hands and she is always putting them in her mouth.  When she sucks on them she sounds like a little piggy it is really cute. She has had the worst rash on her cheeks and we can't figure out what is causing it.  Lotion does not help it, but vaseline seems to.  We are madly in love with out little Angel and I am thankful every day to have her.

You can see her little rash in these pictures!

Korver my chubby little 1 month old

 














Man am I am in love with this cute little Chub Chub and I can't believe she is already a month. Time goes way to fast I do not want her to grow up. Korver doesn't really do much besides sleep, eat and poop. I could include crying, but she really hardly ever does that. I have been so blessed and lucky to have had three amazing little babies. She is so good that sometimes I even forget about her. When that happens I feel like the worst mom in the world. I am glad that she finally is starting to want a little more attention. She loves me and I love that she loves me. She will instantly stop crying just by hearing my voice. She loves to snuggle and squishes right into you. It is almost like she molds her little body to yours.(Sweetest thing ever) Everyone that holds her comments about how snuggly she is. She has rolls upon rolls by far my chubbiest little baby. She has the longest toes, I really need to take a picture of them and post those suckers. She has already had her first cold and we have been battling a stuffy nose for weeks. At her two week check up she weighed 9 LBS 10 OZ 20 inches long. So she had already gained a pound at her first appointment. Dr. Barton was surprised because they are happy if they just weigh what they did when they were born. Not our sweet Korver she is an over achiever already. Her sisters adore her and can't get enough of her. I am so happy they love her so much. And she actually puts up with them quite well even when she is napping she can just sleep right through their loudness. She always needs to be burped after feedings and she has spit up a total of five times so far. Really she is amazing and I just thank Heavenly Father every day for such a beautiful baby.

Just a little shout out to my other cuties. Bentlee is such an amazing big sister. She loves Korver and helps me out with everything. She started preschool in September and has loved every second of it, just like I knew she would. She even already has a little boyfriend named Luke. I had no idea that the boyfriend thing would start so soon. Bentlee is beautiful and she has the longest hair, it has finally reached her butt. Is is sad that I am envious of my five year olds hair. Miss TaTum is a spit fire. I just love her to death she keeps me on my toes all day and makes me laugh at least twenty times. In my sister Rikkis words that kid is so weird and she really is. Her new favorite thing to say OH MY GOSH! I have no idea where she heard that at, but she thinks she needs to say it all the time no matter how much she is threatened. She told me and Jamie the other day that we were DISGUSTING and we needed to get out of her face with our gross slobber kisses. Funniest thing I have ever heard a little kid say. She loves to dance and wheres TUTU's all day long. She even has her own balleray in her words that she will perform for you if you ask her to. She loves to sing everything even if she doesn't know the words. Proud mom moment of today was we were watching Rock of Ages and no joke my awesome girls new the words to every song in that movie. I have taught them well. Well here is a few more pics of the kids that I love with all my heart.

She is here!!

We welcomed "Korver Rain Rogers" on Saturday September 15th at 5:18 AM. She weighed 8 Pounds 8 Ounces. I went in on Friday around 7 PM so that they could induce me. I was five days past my due date and dilated to a 2 maybe a 3 if they were generous. I had been contracting consistently for three weeks two minutes apart, but they weren't strong enough to make me dilate. By this point I was extremely frustrated and tired. So when my doctor suggested inducing I jumped on board even though I swore I would never do it again after Bentlee. So any way I went in and they had me feel out all the paper work then around 8 they started the pitocin. At eleven Doctor Ott came in and broke my water and informed me that I was still only dilated to a two, but 95% thinned and little Korver was still wedged up in my rib cage. I was honestly thinking she was never going to drop and I was preparing myself for a c-section. So a little side note I have always had an epidural when they have broke my water so it was a really gross/weird feeling being able for the first time to feel my water being broken. Every time Jamie would make me laugh I could feel a gush. So after my water was broke they increased pitocin and my contractions really started to feel painful and were incredibly close to each other. So I got the epidural- I give kudos to people that go natural, but I just think you are crazy. I would much rather sleep and feel completely comfortable than feel any pain. After my epidural my nurse Talya(Jordan Merrills wife who was amazing) checked me and I finally was a four 100% thinned. This was around 1 AM. So at this point I was finally starting to feel a little numb, but only on one side my left. My right side I could completely move and had 100 % feeling in it. So the Anesthesiologist came back in and manually gave me some more pain medicine. My right side finally had a little relief, but I could still feel the contractions on that side. I tried to get some sleep and slept for about an hour when all of a sudden around 4 Am the pain was completely back on my right side and I could move my right leg completely no problems. At this point I was pissed they had my pitosin up to the max and my contractions were extremely close together and strong and I could feel them completely on my right side. I called my nurse and she had the epidural guy come back in and he gave me more medicine I couldn't even look at him. I knew if I did I would of ripped his head off and I could not even really act like it hurt that bad, because if I said one thing Jamie would of ripped his head off. Jamie was already pissed of and kept saying he has one freaking job and he can't even do it right. So needless to say I just kept breathing through the contractions and didn't even let out a sound, I was pretty proud of myself. After he left I had a little relief but I could still feel contractions. Right after he left around 4:30 I could feel Korver she finally dropped and I new it was time. I called in my nurse she checked me and it was go time. She had me give one push it was kind of neat because I could actually feel Korver moving down, which was a new feeling for me. She told me to stop pushing while she called the doctor. I called Rikki and told her to hurry because it was go time. (Rikki came and took pictures of the delivery my mom was going to, but I went from dilated to a five to a ten in less than forty minutes so my mom could not make it.) Thank you Rikki for stepping in last second. So back to the story, my nurse left and I was just laying there shaking to death- and man did it hurt. I totally understand now when women say they have the urge to push. I wanted to push so bad and get her out. Finally everyone was there and ready to go and three pushes later out came little Korver. She looked so cute and tiny to me, but all the nurses kept saying wow she is a big baby. I think she seemed so little because my baby is three almost four years old. Korver had a ton of black hair out of all my babies she by far has the most hair. She is the sweetest little thing and I love her so much. It is really amazing how much you can love someone. You think you could never love someone as much as you love your first baby, but you can. She was breastfeeding twenty minutes after she was born and has been amazing ever since. She sleeps like a champ. I wake up every morning at five to feed her and she goes back to sleep and sleeps until ten or eleven. Her nights and days are mixed up or I really think she would sleep all night. I have to wake her up every three hours during the day to make her feed or she seriously would sleep all day. The girls love her and I have been really happy with how Tatum has handled being dethroned. She has taken it like a champ. I sure am one lucky momma and I love my three girls very much.

24th of July, Brian head and other happenings in the Rogers household

We had a great 24th of July. We headed to my grandma Rohdes lawn around 8:45 and the girls got a ton of candy. Me and Rikki made these really cute skirts for our girls, I think they turned out even better than we imagined. They really looked so cute. After the parade we headed home and relaxed for the races. I have to say the races were a little crazy this year. I did not even have time to take pictures of the girls because the announcer was talking and going to fast. In Bentlee race he said go before moms where even behind the line. There was a mom right in front of Bentlee so of course I did not get a picture. After the races me Bentlee, Tatum and Darbye headed to Cedar so I could get some groceries for our Brian Head trip. We got to Brian head about six thirty and went swimming. Brian Head was so much fun we played games, did crafts and pretty much just got to sit around and relax. It really was just what I needed. The only complaint I had was the bed holy Crapoly it was like sleeping on a box. I don't think the matress had been changed since the 1960's. This usually would not be a problem, but being 33 weeks pregnant waking up in the mornings was not the most pleasant thing. It took me about twenty minutes to get out of bed and for everything on me that seems to dislocate in my sleep to pop back in to place. But seriously a four day trip and that was my worst complaint. (I can totally handle that lack of sleep is something you just get use to when you are a mom right.:) The girls loved Brian Head I think they had a blast and that really is the only reason I went. They had a treasure Hunt, and Scavenger Hunt, we tried glow in the dark bubbles and the swam a lot. They really did no want to leave, and to be honest I really didn't either it was nice to be in a place where they could just run around get dirty and have the time of their lives without worrying about someone stealing or running them over. Trips like this make me really sad that my kids don't get the opportunity to grow up on a farm like I did and really have the freedom to do pretty much whatever you want. I went to the doctor last week and really thought he would check me, but I guess I am measuring a little small so they moved my due date ten days (I haven't even told my husband this because I don't believe it hehe I know exactly when I got pregnant so I am going off of that and not my measurements, for some reason me and Jamie have pretty small/average size babies) . This news was just a little frustrating for me, but I am so thankful to be pregnant and that so far this little girl seems healthy and happy so I am willing to be pregnant for a few more weeks if that is what it takes...but I don't think it will. So I guess I am not officially due until September 19. I am really hoping I can do some mental stimulation and tell my body to go into labor around August 31st. I would be 37 1/2 weeks by then. My sister Rikki was able to do that and it worked if only I was that lucky.

More River Photos

Here are a few more photos from our time spent in the river this year. We have had a few boring weeks with the rain and the flash flood warnings we have sure missed playing in our favorite spot. Hopefully we will be able to head down there in a few days when it heats up again... (I am by no means complaining this weather has been amazing, but my kids seriously whine ever single day about wanting to go down to the river.)

New Family Photos

We got to go a couple of weeks ago and have some family photos taken. The only bad part of taking family photos in the middle of the summer means I am a single mom in all the photos. Jamie is a fire fighter for the BLM so come summer time he is pretty much gone 24/7. I am not complaining because the money is really nice in the summer time and it is his job (you do what you have to). So instead of family photos for my little family Leslie Truman just took some photos of my girls. They really turned out so cute I think they might be some of my most favorite pictures of them so far in their lives. Another reason I was ok with not doing a family photo with the rest of my siblings is because I am extremely preggo. So it didn't seem right taking a family picture when our family would be adding a new face in just a few weeks. So hopefully after this little girl gets here and I lose a little weight we can officially get a family photo. I did want to do a little shout out to Leslie Truman she did an amazing job with all my little nieces and nephews it was a little crazy, but she pulled out some amazing photos of everyone. Here are a few of the pictures she took. The first one is my fave...

I sure think I have some cute girlies and I can't wait to add a new one to the mix.

The River...

Oh my goodness it has been a long long time since I blogged. I have been a little overwhelmed with thinking about trying to catch up, but I finally decided against it. I am just going to start with the most current happenings and go from there. This summer has been so hot and being extremely pregnant it makes me honestly want to just sit in my bed under the air and read all summer long(Oh if only)... Me and Jamie live literally fifty feet away from the Virgin River so me and the girls spend hours and hours each week there. They have so much fun and I can just lay in the cool water like a beached whale and relax. It really is one of my most favorite places and theirs to go. Here are some cute pics of the girls playing their little hearts out.
