coming home

Well I realized I left my blog with Bradley still in the NICU.. well he's not in there any more he actually got out of the NICU on September 12 (2 days after Anna's birthday party thank goodness) it was a fun but stressful week. Anna got an eye infection the day before he came home so we sent her down to Grandma Vals for the weekend. Also the day before he was suppose to come home he started to desat (lower oxygen levels) so they decided to put him on oxygen (booo) and a monitor (the same one we had with Anna). We thought we were going to get out of there with a cordless baby but nope he thought we were getting off to easy. So with the NICU when your baby comes home on something they make you do what is called a "Room in" which means you have to stay in a room there (which is like a hotel room but way smaller) luckily we know a few people there and had already done all this with Anna so we only had to stay like 8 hours which was awesome so I went home got riley we went back to the hospital and did our room in and were home that night.

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
