Bradley is here

Bradley Martin Creps was born August 25, 2012
He weighed 4 lbs 13 oz and was 18.5 inches
he was born at 32 weeks and 6 days so he was 7 weeks early and did great health and size wise
he was put on the CPAP for a while and under the billy lights for a little bit.
He was only in the NICU for 2 1/2 weeks

Delivery was somewhat easy... Annas was definetly easier.
with Bradly we went it to go to a doctors appointment (because we had been going to the doctors everyday because we were on bedrest because of my blood pressure and protein) so we got to the doctors and my blood pressure was high so they decided to book us into the hospital over night. then the next morning they decided we were going to have the baby for my healths sake so they enduced me. Then they came in and broke my water around 5 and he was born at 6:37 on Saturday the 25th of August. then they took him to the NICU and we went back to our room and we got to check out on Monday.

july events

I know its a little behind but here is a catch up of what we did in july

first we went to the demolition derby up in heber.. no we didnt get pictures of the actual cars we did get videos but it wont load on here for some reason.. but this is a tradition for us just cause we love to go and we wouldn't miss it. This year also was one of the best ones i have been too.

awesome sunset at the derby

It was one of my good friends wedding and i was a bridesmaid for her (shalena & Chris) yes I was 30 weeks pregnant and in a wedding at the end of July and I didn't die almost did but i survived. It was a super fun wedding and we loved being apart of it.





We also spent most of our summer at the Owls games cause they are free on the pass of all passes. Anna loved going to the games and trying to find Hoot the owl.

This is Riley trying to get in time with Anna before Bradley comes he did such an awesome job giving her time to play and prepare for the baby

Anna spent most of her summer in the water, whether it was at seven peaks of running through the sprinkler when I got to pregnant to go to seven peaks

ultra sounds

When we get pregnant we get tons of ultrasounds just because we are high risk.. so we usually get an ultrasound at least once a month which is so awesome because then we are constantly seeing our baby.

this is our baby boy.. we usually don't like them to do 3D pictures cause they are creepy but he was just in a perfect position to get a good one..

not so prepared

Ok Ok so we have been getting A LOT of grief about buying everything for this baby.. well thats what we do.. so im creating a blog (maybe more to come) of things we still want and need for this baby

Now we don't want to hear any more grief for being prepared for this baby!!

Baby Bradley lately...

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything but that is because I have been busy with baby stuff..

First off I went to my 20 week appointment and they said everything looks great and that im really a week a head... which is super nice to hear. Now I get to start my monthly appointments at ALL 3 doctors WAHOO (the only exciting part is we get an ultrasound every month now till he comes)

here is me at 20 weeks...  A LOT bigger then I was with Anna

Also we have been trying to buy used stuff for him since money is tight with a new baby so for his room we are going modern with Orange, blue, grey and white. Im going to be making the bedding but here is our lovely paint job

Also we repainted our rocking chair and took it from brown to white and I will be recovering it in a grey fabric (hopefully chevron fabric to match the walls)

We have been buying most of his clothes from yard sales or on KSL (since i can find any cute boy clothes i figured i don't care if they are used) but we have got most of his clothes folded and put away

One thing we did with Anna that  I loved was we would buy a package of diapers every paycheck so we are doing that now.. we have enough diapers till he is 5 months hoping to get enough till 9 months old.

I am going to try really hard to nurse well with him since it didn't work so well with Anna (we only made it 2 months and most of it was pumping in the NICU) so I figured I would make a cute nursing cover so look at how cute it is

And we have gone through several ideas for strollers first we bought a sit n stand but then we realized it was huge and Anna didn't care for it so no use in using it.. so we sold it.. then we thought maybe just a carseat holding stroller but we use them to much when they get older so we found a super cute travel system that was nice and small but it was $200 so looking on KSL (love that place) we found this awesome stroller.. it normally sells for $400+ but they were selling it for $90 so Riley talked them down to $85 (go Riley) but it is so Awesome. Plus we found a super cute and nice carseat at Kid to Kid for only $40 so we saved $75 by buying used and I loved the stroller 10x more

it folds down to a carriage style.. awesome right

We have had fun getting everything for this little boy and only have a few more things to get. It will be so nice in a couple of months knowing that we will have everything for him and not have to rush out to buy it all!!

check back later to see more fun stuff we will be doing
