P.J's first holiday!!

HALLOWEEN!!

Jamey and I carved some pumpkins! Jamey got lucky his pumpkin barely had any "goop" in it! Mine  on the other hand, I swear it got mine, Paislee's and Jamey's "goop" Jamey decided to keep his traditional and stick to Halloween themed. I kinda got a little lazy and grossed out by the first pumpkins goop that I stuck to letters HAHA! Mine is the "H" for Hines, and "P.J" for Paislee Jo!! (:

My mom bought Paislee a witch costume, and a little black beenie! We tried to make a witch hat, and make it pointed but we couldn't figure it out. And Uncle Jamey decided to make Pais a little broom!! (: I love staying with my parents it's always fun to be around them, and I love how they all show their excitement about P.J. Jamey has brought over friends from school to show off his neice. So far everyone he has brought over tells me, "she is all he talks about" I think it's really cute, and before bed he always comes and kisses her goodnight, even if she is sleeping. Grandpa and Jamey are slacking on the diaper changing though. (;

New Job, New Baby, New Town!

Will got a job in Elko, Nevada working in a gold mine as an "explosion operator" He is pretty excited to work with dynamite and other explosives.. However, I am not as excited. I'm actually pretty scared. When he first got the job, he was supposed to be an equiptment operator and work with what he calls "real life tonka trucks" I guess the trucks are massive? Anyways, two days into training, the big boss told him he is switching jobs, and will be working with explosives. He works a weird schedule that is still complicated to understand HA! He comes home on his days off, which are 3 days, 4 days, and then 7 days. It's hard being here in Boise away from him, but I am staying with my parents which I LOVE, they are so much help with baby Pais. Will and I are still deciding whether we will move to Elko, or live in Boise, but I am really glad to be out of Ontario that's for sure!! (:

October 21st 2012

Paislee Jo was BORN! Even though she was a whole month early weighing only 5 pounds exactly, I am proud to announce the birth of my baby girl! (:

Tuesday the 16th, I was looking forward to going to fiesta for my birthday with my family. BUT instead I found myself lying in a hospital bed due to severe preeclampsia. I was in the hospital being monitored every fifteen minutes to check up on my blood pressure, then every two hours for medication. Craziest birthday I've ever had. It seemed like days lasted forever, the 21st came around and my doctor told me I was going to be induced, expecting to be going into labor that day.. I waited around 7 hours, only for my doctor to tell me I had to go under for a c-section. I have never had a surgery ever in my life and I started bawling. Not only was I scared William wouldn't be there(he had to leave to Nevada by noon) which by this time it was 7:30pm and the doctors were ready to go. Will stuck around and got to be apart of Paislee's birth with me, which was the most important thing ever!! I was sad though because he was only there for maybe 2 hours at the most. The following Tuesday came around.. the 23rd and I was finally able to go home!! I had three blood transfusions, I lost a severe amount of blood after my surgery, and ontop of that I had high blood pressure still. But I am doing much better now!

William, Paislee, and I are all staying in Boise with my family until we move to Nevada! (:

October 21st, 5lbs, 17in, 8:07pm!!

She usually sucks her pointer finger, and her thumb!!

ALREADY FOUR DAYS OLD!! (:

Paislee's Room!

Baby P's room isn't quite finished yet, but here is just an idea of what it will look like in the future!! She has zebra print and pink decorations!! The picture is bad because of the lighting but I am so inlove with everything!!

William has an app on his phone which is called "I'm expecting" every week it tells us the growth of the baby, pictures of what the baby looks like, and tells us just about whats going on with the baby. So this week on Monday as we were getting ready for bed, we got the phone out and started to read since every Monday is a new week for me. On Monday I was 32 weeks along, so we start reading and scrolling through and it said that the baby could be coming sooner than planned and to start preparing for the coming home bag. Immediately I wanted to jump out of bed and get her outfit started but Will was too tired so we waited until the next day! (: We looked through EVERY outfit which took us over an hour!! Will was worried Pais would be cold so he perferred a jacket outfit, which we had two of, but then he saw the lady bug outfit and NOW WE ARE STUCK. He loves the lady bug outfit with the lady bug hat, but he is scared she will be cold so we can't decide whether we want the monkey "daddys girl" outfit or the lady bug outfit! On a good note, we will be taking both for everyone at the hospital to help us make our decision HA. We finally have her diaper bag, and going home items ready though! She has her carseat, which should be here October 5th! And she has her blanket, and her diaper bag full of items!! I can't wait for this little munchkin to be here already!! (:

Baby Shower Fun!!

Saturday the 22, My mom and the rest of my family threw a baby shower! There were so many fun games, such as guessing the name of a song that had the word "baby" in it, the game of pins where you cant say the words "cute" or "baby" and my most favorite but HARDEST GAME EVER, was melted chocolate candy bars in diapers. The diaper had a number on it and you had to guess which candy bar was which number. I thought it would be a lot easier, but I was WRONG TOTALLY WRONG.

There was so much snack food it was crazy!! My brother Jamey wanted to cut out a stroller out of a watermelon, so my mom and brother made a baby and a stroller out of fruits! YUM.

My aunt Tiffany made the yummy fruit jello's and put them in baby food jars and decorated them sooo cute!! I didn't want anyone to eat them... they were just WAY TOO PRETTY!!

Then came the decorations, which I don't have a picture of.. bummer! But everything was zebra, pink, black, and a little cheetah print!!! LOVE IT ALL. It turned out very cute!! The cake was made by my aunt Krystal, my dad's youngest sister, she takes after my dad's mom and LOVES to bake!! I had sent my Mama (Grandma) a picture of a cake with a foot sticking out in the belly, I saw it on facebook and wanted that cake!! So she showed my Aunt Krystal, and TADA here it is!! She even added the "Paisley" pattern since we are naming our little girl Paislee Jo (:

Baby Registry Dilema!!

At first I had HORRIBLE luck with my baby registry.
1. I registered online, and everything I registered for ended up being online ONLY. So I had to go to the store and re-register for EVERYTHING.
2. My crib set I loved so much, well it went out of stock for almost two months!!
3. My car seat that I fell in love with, not too girly, not too pink AHH. it was just PERFECT! went out of stock too!!

NOW I'M HAVING AMAZING LUCK!!
1. My crib set came back in stock about a week ago, so my mom jumped all over it and BOUGHT EVERYTHING for Paislee Jo!! I'm so excited, it looks even more cute in person!!
2. NOW I just got an email saying my car seat has come back IN stock!! WOOHOOO!!! I am beyond excited! I couldn't find another car seat I liked, I have looked on so many websites and I just haven't found one that is my style. Yes, I want it to be girly-ish so nobody thinks Paislee is a boy, but every car seat I've seen is WAY WAY WAY TOO MUCH PINK. Which just isn't my color ha!!

FISHING! (:

Over labor day weekend Will and I joined my family fishing, along with my Aunt Tiff and her family! Will and I have been wanting to go fishing for so long now, but never got our fishing license's. So Will finally got his and we have been fishing a lot lately! Will has been going after work, and we went everyday over the weekend! (: The last time I went fishing I think it was about three years ago, and Will hasn't been in years also! You could say we are beyond excited, and having a blast with the fishing!!

Crazy CRAVINGS!

I am now 29 weeks pregnant, and my cravings are getting worse! Food Food Food!! I crave rice mixed with cheese, chicken and olives! Yum! My favorite! Crazy bread, which Little Caesars should come to Ontario, PLEASE? I don't want to make any special trips to Nampa just for crazy bread! Who doesn't love cheap pizza? It would be a good investment for this little town!! (: Also PIZZA HUT! It is so tempting, I live across the street from Ontario's Pizza Hut, and boy does it make me hungry to look out across the street from my back porch to a red sign saying PIZZA! Another thing, I crave Idaho Pizza's salad bar, I went and got a salad not too long ago, and decided this should not be a craving I have! It's an expensive one! HA. Everything else is pretty cheap! But this big belly sure does love food, which explains the 15 pounds I've gained so far!! Thankfully still NO stretch marks, or my belly button popping out!!

School without me!

My little brother Jamey, well not so little anymore just started his senior year without me!! We've always been really close, but now that we don't live together I feel we have an even better relationship! We are always texting, calling, chatting on facebook, or whenever I come visit we are still hanging out! I sure do miss him lots, but I know we are always going to be close(:

Last year my mom took our picture together outside in the back yard, which we were joined by our two dogs! (:

Jamey is the funniest kid ever! He has me laughing all the time!! My favorite thing to do is watch him play baseball, which I cannot wait until February when his season starts back up!! It's his senior year so I want to go to as many games as possible, that is until he makes in to the Major Leagues, then I'll be out in the stands with my season tickets(:

I just love being myself with him! He thinks I'm weird probably for never taking a normal picture with him, but he understands my goofy sides!
Hey look its Tiff in the back, she is really blurry though! This is the day my mom had surgery and Tiff made the family dinner, so I tagged along with her to see the family!! I love living only an hour away, it seems like forever away but at least I can drive over whenever instead of paying money to fly on a plane just to go visit! Also I love living close to my aunt Tiff, I love babysitting her 3 kids, we always have so much fun playing on the kinect, or Hoss' favorite game is the four wheeler/motorcycle game!!

Isabelle, my cuddle bug!

Izzy is our puppy who is not just a pet, but more of our little baby! She is SPOILED like CRAZY! She loves to play all day, and sleep all night. She is a huge cuddle bug, no matter where you are sitting, laying down, or anything she is always following me. She loves to be in the kitchen and eat up all the veggies or fruits I drop on the floor. Apples are her favorite!! Lately I think she has been getting jealous, the spare room use to be where she would always play and hide her toys, but ever since we have set up Paislee's room she isn't too excited to play in there anymore. Izzy sure does love to cuddle my baby bump though, I don't know if it's the sound of the heartbeat, or maybe getting kicked haha, but its her new favorite spot to take a nap.

Everyday she waits by the window for William to come home from work. Then she runs outside to give him lots of kisses as he yells "Izzy Izzy Izzy" in his little voice he does, she gets EXTREMELY EXCITED and pees everywhere. We learned in our last home she needs to go outside as soon as he gets home so we don't have accidents in the house or she will be put in diapers! (which she hates)

sad face for the diapers!!

Bath time!! She loves loves loves to take baths! If you leave the door open while taking a shower, or a bath she is the first one to pop in and try to get in the shower with you!

Next she loves CAR RIDES. If you say "bye bye" she gets extremely excited also!! One of her favorite things is to ride up front, or ride with her head out the window!! We just love it, but realize we can't take her EVERYWHERE like we wish!!

Sometimes she is a little odd, and begs to be put in Paislee's crib, or in her stroller. Don't know where it came from but usually whenever Will or I go into P.J's room Izzy begs to be put in one or the other.

She is just the cutest haha! (:

Bigger Belly, Smaller Bladder

Kenzie another family friend of many many years was one of the first friends to find out. She got way

too excited and had to take MANY pictures.

 

 

 

After 19 weeks I decided I better start taking pictures just to have for memories!

 

 

July 12th was finally here Boy or Girl time? Funny story, a few days before finding out I told William it felt like the baby was doing sommer saults... We go to the ultra sound and as crazy as it sounds our baby was doing headstands, and refused to have her picture taken. (takes after her dad with the hating pictures) In both of the pictures she is hiding her face in my bladder and the rest of her body is straight up in head stand position. Looks very uncomfortable to me, but I guess we have a gymnast inside. Anyways, it was a girl! At first Will wanted a boy, but shortly after feeling, and seeing her reactions to his voice, he decided he would much rather have his daddy's girl.

22 Weeks!

24 Weeks!

Trip to the Zoo! I was supposed to go on a family float on the Boise River, but I chickened out since it was freezing around noon when they decided to go. My family friend Clayton Pennington was celebrating his birthday at the Zoo with his kids, and parents so I tagged along with them. Being 26 weeks pregnant, walking around in the heat which it got really REALLY HOT about 20 minutes after we left, I realized I probably would rather be getting wet but the Zoo turned out to be extremely fun with Kenz and her family.

The latest picture being a little over 27 weeks, man oh man, my bladder feels "pea sized" I didn't think it was possible to use the restroom so many times a day!

More pictures to show later now that I am 29 weeks along!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little Munchkin Paislee Jo Hines

Will and I have been asked multiple times how we came up with her exact name, well let me share with you(:

Our first concert we ever went to together was Brad Paisley, At first Will hated country but now I like to think he enjoys my stations a little more than in the beginning(: So as we found out we were expecting it took forever to come up with a little girls name. William was dead set that we were having a boy and refused to come up with any girl names because he thought it'd jinx our chances of having a boy HA, sure enough its a girl. We both decided we wanted something meaningful and that we kept our family names involved with our kid's names. Paislee was one that we both loved, spelling "Lee" because on my dad's side my grandma's middle name is Lee, including many other family members as well. Then Jo as the middle name after my mom who is Danna Jo.  Hines of course being our last name!

Paislee Jo Hines, "P.J" or "Pais" six weeks, five days.

Hines Wedding

William and I met over nine years ago at one of my dad's softball games summer of my fourth grade year. He was coming out of the Vale Pool and I was walking towards the pool. One my family friends daughter knew him, and she introduced us. I always lived in Boise, he always lived in Vale but over the many years we stayed in contact, dated here and there, and sure enough are now happily married.
