B is for Baby Smile
So I promised myself that I wasn't going to be one of those mom's that was obsessed with her kid - well........too late - I think I'm addicted. I love everything about him - even in the middle of the night. BUT to explain this picture - Today was my first day back to work....kind of - I'm just doing a couple of hours here and there of home health. ANY WHO - I dropped a very awake Dylan off to my sisters before my first appointment. I was about a mile away when I got this picture sent to my phone! Maybe it was the lack of sleep - but I almost cried. Dylan has just started smiling back at you when you make silly faces at him. I haven't been able to catch his smile on camera yet. But my sister did! Made my morning great - and the fact that I only got 4 hours of sleep worth it. Everything seems better when Dylan smiles!

A is for Adalynn
I thought this would be a great way to start this out. My name has always defined me through out my life. I think that my mom who also suffered from a odd name (Ordella) felt that she had to pass the curse on! (Just Kidding - Mom!) Some times I've loved it - most of the time I've hated it. When I was younger I would always wish my name was Britany - don't know why - just thought it was a lot better then ADALYNN! Most likely cause everyone would know how to say it. But I do have to say that my name has helped me though - I would always know who really knew me - and who didn't by how they would say my name. Most of the time it was the people that I didn't like that would say my name wrong and it would just make me not like them that much more. I always had a easy last name (Park) until I got married. So at least when I was being called (i.e. at the dr's) they could call Ms. Park - and I knew it was me. Now all I get is a long pause.........and then Adddddddalynn?????? Grrrrrrrr!
To say the least I am glad to have a crazy name - made me a more well rounded individual. I don't think I'll be passing the curse on to my children - but I'm glad for the character it has given me :)

WISCONSIN
I wish I had more pic's but my camera decided to go on strike while we were out there and I only got it to work for a little to get pic's of Dylan.
While out there we also went to Ty's best friend's wedding. OH MY GOODNESS weddings are a whole lot different out there then here in little ole' Utah. It was really fun to experiance it all. Thank goodness I had my sis-in-law Kim to explain everything to me. ;) I also had my 25th birthday out there! Ty was so sweet and threw me a birthday bbq! It was really sweet and really fun! It turned into more of a pool party - and we ended the night playing Wii. Quite fun!
But now we are back to reality and trying to get use to it..... it's hard - it really is! Tonight I mowed our lawn - that hadn't been touched since before Dylan was born....I won't need to go to the gym for a while! ;) Oh gotta run - time for me to be mom!

I'm Going To Get Bad At This
This is our first little family picture! Dylan was pulling faces the whole time and looking everywhere but at the camera!
As I was saying Dylan was making A LOT of funny faces! He has such the personality already. OH - he has also developed the need to make noise ALL the time. He doesn't cry - and he's not in any pain - he just likes to make noise. He'll be dead a sleep and just grunting and cooing. I'm not a heavy sleeper - so i won't lie - he's kept me up! Ty just say's he's trying to tell everyone a story........a very LONG story! :)Now for the explination about the title to this blog! Tomorrow we leave for our vacation to Wisconsin. We'll be gone a week! So don't expect a blog from me for about a week and a half. I think I'm really going to need to recover - but when I do bounce back (and get the virus off of our computer) I will have lots of news and pic's to show. Ty will be in a wedding, Dylan will be getting blessed, and I will be turning 25! Have a great week and a half!

Gettin Things Going
So here is a pic of me and my little man about a week ago. After this pic was taken I took a nap - cause I saw how insainly tierd I looked! Now I don't look so tierd and I'm starting to get things going.Our renters are moving out here in about a week - so I've been showing the apartment like crazy. I want to have somone moving in Aug. 1 (if not sooner). Ty and I are going to Wisconsin for a week and I want everything in place before we leave. **** So if anyone knows someone that needs a 1 bedroom apartment in Provo - send them my way****
We also have Ty's mom and Neice Amber coming into town on Friday - They are going to spend some time with us then head down to New Mexico so they can meet Ivie. Then we are going down to New Mexico the last weekend for Ivie's blessing and to bring Rose (Ty's Mom) and Amber back up to catch their plane. THEN a couple of day's after they leave we are leaving for Wisconsin - Ty's best friend Andy is getting married Aug 3rd - and then we are blessing Dylan August 5th! (My birthday!) ****Does anyone know where to get a cute little boys blessing outfit???***** I'm getting tierd just typing this!
OH ALSO UPDATE - I've been calling T-Mobile every day about my stolen cell phone. They are crazy - Ty and I have been with them for 4 years - and all they could do is take $2.75 off of the charges that were made. (I'm going to keep on calling!)
Gotta Run!

Stupid People!
Monday, July 09, 2007
This last weekend - as I mentioned in my last post - Ty's brother and sis-in-law came up to see Dylan. It was the first time for us to see their baby Ivie! First of all I have to mention the to-die-for eyes that she has. She is going to be fighting off all the boys with those eyes!
They invited us to go boating with them - and we couldn't turn them down. DON'T worry. All I did was sit on the boat, in the shade, and hold Dylan. It actually felt great to get outside and feel the wind in my hair!
Here is Ivie and Dylan in their cute little life jackets. Dylan's was a little big - and he had a crazy heat rash to match it!

This is Ty Surfing. It is some what like wake boarding - but your feet are free and you get up close to the boat, throw the rope in, and surf behind the boat! Ty did really good for his first time!
Another cute pic. of Dylan and Ivie! Both of them pretty much slept the whole time!
That night - we went over to my brother-in-laws - for Ty to help him put up some sheet rock in his basement. Conner was dieing to hold Dylan - and Dylan looked so relaxed in his arms I had to take a pic!

1 Week And Counting
BUT - I have been getting better a lot faster then I thought I would. Thanks A LOT to my mom who has come over everyday - cleaned my house, done laundry, walked the dog, watered the lawn, and cleaned surfaces that hadn't been cleaned in a long time! She and Ty have to yell at me still to take it slow - and to take my pain pills when I'm in pain (I don't like the way they make me feel)
This weekend we got a fun treat! Ty's brother Phil and his wife Sarah with their baby Ivie came up to visit Dylan! Ivie is so cute! And I know when Ivie and Dylan grow up a little more they are going to be best of friends! I'll post pic's next time of their meeting.
Well - I think I hear my little man calling for me! ttfn

Story Time
Wednesday of last week (27th) I was sent to the hospital to get some testing done. One of the tests was to see how much Amniotic Fluid I had. They like the score to be 6 or higher and I was at a 4. With that failing score they decided to induce me. So at about 4 o'clock that afternoon they started my labor. As the night progessed so did my contractions. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - but bad enough that I couldn't get comfortable OR sleep. At 4:30 the next morning they started the Pitocin. I still wasn't progressing though - so my dr came over to "find my cervix" <- long story - and to break my water. I was told that it wasn't going to feel good AT ALL - and that the dr. was telling me to get a Epidural. So like a good patient I listened - and about a half hour after I got the epidural (8:30) I got my water broke (9:00) and found out I was only at a 2!!!! It seems like as soon as they did that we started having problems with Dylan's heart. I had a AWESOME nurse that had went through almost the same thing with her baby 3 months before - so she knew exactly what to look for and what to do.
I was actually falling a sleep for the first time in who knows how long - when she came in and told Ty and I that within 20 min's I was going to be taken back, given a C-Section, and have a baby! It was the scaryest thing! But everyone taking care of me (including Ty) were amazing and helped me settle down! Ty was by my side and watched the whole thing! The only bad part was that after Dylan was born I only got to see him for a couple of seconds - and then it was a hour before I could see and hold him.
Slowly but surely I'm starting to get back on my feet - and I'm able to do more and more each day.
OH - the other scary story - on Friday night Ty forgot to close one of our doors all the way and Timber ran away! Tim had been out and about for 6 hours by the time Ty came back and noticed. THANK GOODNESS one of our neighbors saw him and took him in. For a little I thought that I had just got a son and lost another! Pathetic I know - but I was really sad. BUT now all is well and we are one happy family!

The Burn Lotion!

This is what happened! (Sorry that you have to look at my swollen legs) Everywhere I put the lotion......it BURNED! From the top half of me you can't even tell I was in the sun that much! I've been living with the Aloe Vera with Liticane and Cocoa Butter Lotion. <- They've been my best friends!
Last night was the longest night of my life though! Because most of the burn is on the inside of my leg it was hard to lay on my side....and with me being so big I can't lay on my back! Then the blankets.... (aurgh) Today it is feeling better -but still really sore and the few times Timber has come say Hi - well - I've been close to tears!
On a different note - I have offically started my Maturnity Leave (12 weeks away from work) - but I have another appointment tomorrow morning and if nothing's still happening I'm going to just work half days....until something happens!! I'll keep you all updated!

Frustration!
ALSO at my last appointment she felt and said Dylan was going to be about 7 lbs some odd ounces. I can handle 7 lbs! I guess one of my worst fears is that I'm going to have to push a 10 lb baby out. 10 lbs = not fun.
Ok Ok - Now I am just whiney! Sorry for all who are reading this! Today is just one of those days ;)

Martha Stewart Eat Your Heart Out!

I painted these and then crazy glued the ribbon on - and crazy glued my fingers together! But it was fun! I tried to use more "manly" colors - and Ty approved.

This shows you where I hung it! All that stuff you see in the crib is things I've gotten from other people. Yesturday was like Christmas - my cousin Melissa stopped by and dropped off ALOT of baby boy clothes that her little boy grew out of before he wore. AND then my sister Heather dropped off ALOT of clothes that my sister Stacy had gotten together for me. THEN my mom came over tonight and dropped off some more gifts! I'm getting spoiled! Or should I say Dylan's getting spoiled!

Fun Fun Fun
Since then we've been busy with life. This last weekend we went to a Prenatal class at the hospital. Quite interesting to say the least. I did learn a lot of new things - so I think Ty and I are now ready to have Dylan!
Here are the picture's I promised - The Rocking Chair is my mother's day present!
And this is the swing that my sister's got for me! So much fun!
This last week I also had my baby shower for work and got lots of cute clothes, diapers, and necessities! Monday, June 04, 2007
Crazy Weekend!
On Saturday my sister bought a new truck so we spent the day finding just the right one.....which took all day - but it was worth it!
Then we noticed that I was swelling REALLY BAD - and just in one leg. I really did look like the Michelin Man....
We actually measured my ankle and it was almost 11 inches - and that was after I had been laying down! SOOOOOO we called the dr. on call and she told me - just to be safer then sorrier to go to Labor and Delivery and get checked out. While there we found out that I'm ok - b/p was a little high - and I was having contractions every 5 min's! I had no idea - and couldn't feel any of them and they were pretty good ones. BUT they sent me home saying to lay down A LOT on my left side and lay off the salt :(THEN on Sunday - TY was suppose to come home - but because of bad weather his flight was canceled :( Weather is worse today then it was yesturday - so everyone cross your fingers that he will be able to leave and come home!
The rest of this week should be fine - I'm having my work baby shower tomorrow and then then next day we are having a card making party! :) I'm such a girl! I'll keep everyone posted on the happen's though!

I MISS MY HUSBAND!
BUT last night - was - WoW! Amazing! My mother's day present finally got into the store so we got to go pick it up. It was a glider rocking chair! Ty picked it out and he did a great job - it matches the nursery perfectly! ALSO my mom gave me some baby presents AND Rubarb Pie (yum) THEN my sister's Heather and Christina surprised me and went in together and got me the swing I really really wanted. Soooo last night Ty and I stayed up ate some pie and put everything together. We didn't get to bed till after midnight - but it was worth it! Made waking up at 4:30 a little hard - but it was worth it! :) I'll get pic's up soon of both my presents!
It's so exciting to see everything come together for Dylan!

I Can Bring My Baby Home!


Now I just need to get a swing and I think I'll be set! :) All set for June 26th or 27th! Not any sooner! Ty is actually going out to Wisconsin this coming weekend for a wedding! My sister Heather is going to stay with me just to make sure I'm ok! It will be sad to not have him around - BUT - I know he'll be having ALOT of fun and he deserves it!

Superwoman has Limits
Ty and I were all ready to go down to New Mexico for the weekend when today (after only having 4 hours of sleep last night) I started blacking out at work, and having dizzy spells that would last a half hour or so at a time. Everyone was telling me to go home BUT of course I didn't listen. When I did get home it was so bad I was sick. So of course I call my sister (she knows everything ;), and her advise......"Adalynn, why don't you slow down? You are almost 9 months pregnant!" (Of course I had to be talking to her as I was headed to my second job) And it hit me - I am only human - about to give birth to another human - maybe I should slow down. Not totally stop.....but slow down. One of those "ah-ha" moments! So I thought I would share it with all of you - and let all of you know I'm starting to slow down. And yes Superwoman is human and does have limits!

I'm a Auntie.......again!

For Nicky!
Ty insisted on doing a close up of the belly!
Ugh! The only way I even let these pic's be taken is for the sake of knowing in a few months I'll look back and smile. But right now - ugh! Tuesday, May 01, 2007
Babysitting!

This is Ty and Conner - showing off their "guns"!
I have no idea what Conner was trying to do - BUT - he wanted his picture taken with his face like this!
This is his Elephant he HAD to take a picture of!
ALL and ALL it was a good night! Very eye opening! ;)

The Crib

So this is the crib that we got for Dylan. We got his room painted so it's not a lime green - and now it just sits there. I walk by his room every time I head to the bathroom (which is a lot;) and it is like a haunting reminder that in not too long there is going to be a baby in there. :) <- I'm so excited!
Other then that Ty and I spent yesturday up in Salt Lake at the Genealogy Library. Yeah makes us sound REALLY old but it was fun. We worked on his Grandma VanCuyk's side - and learned a little Dutch. We also went and looked at a book that was written about the Thiel side - it was a lot of fun. We had a lot of the information we found - BUT we also found some missing childern that will be happy to be with their families again I'm sure! We still have lots of work to do!
Just thought I would post this pic. of Timber - He LOVES to look out the window and watch EVERYTHING. Especially the neighbor cats that like to walk by and tease him.

Happy Easter


Second surprise is that I have lots and lots and LOTS of dandilions. When I was little I loved to play with them - now I despise them.
Timber is loving being outside more - he liked the snow - liked to eat the snow I should say. But he didn't like to get cold. 
Here is a pic of a slice of me Ryan, Haylee, Preston and Conner - They came over last weekend to help us take some things to the dump!As far as Ty and I we are keeping busy - my stomach is getting bigger and June seems to be sneaking up on us WAY too fast. I've started going to the dr. every two weeks now. Pretty soon Summer will be here and so will Dylan! I'm excited and scared at the same time. It's a first timer thing I'm sure :)
I promise to keep up on my blogging better - Happy Easter

Genealogy....I am doing it!
As far as all the other stuff I've been up to - it's been keeping me busy! We ordered Dylan's crib - and have started cleaning everything out of his room. Timber LOVES his new training class - I'll have to take a picture of him. Sooooo Cute! Mexico - we are going to go to Mazatlan with Ty's family on a family vacation! It's not till November BUT we are already counting down the days! AND yeah - things have been going good in our neck of the woods. When I get home I'll download some of our latest pic's!

I know, I know...
This last weekend I was soooo mad. My little nephew Ryan had his birthday party. (He turned 10 - isn't that crazy) Any who - all he wanted was a Tamagotchi v-4. It is like a gigga pet (for all you old timers!) Any ways - I searched all of Provo - only to find that everyone was sold out! Oh I was hot! Made me start thinking how it's going to be when I have Dylan - and I go searching for toys.....ahhhh!
Other then that I've been busy getting bigger - and working! ;)
OH OH OH - I found out some very disturbing news today. Daylight saving is coming early this year. March 11th early! Isn't that sooooo wrong!
K - so before this blog get's any weirder I'm going to post a picture of Dylan and sign off!
TTFN my friends

The Baby Bump
So incase everyone was wondering what I look like pregnant.....you needn't wait any longer. This is me 5 months along! And that bump is just big enough that it makes me uncomfortable in everything I wear, ugh! And that baby is sooooo active! For a while I was thinking that I would never feel the baby move and then BAM, not a fludder, not a twitch, but a big kick directed at getting out! It's been fun though feeling Baby (since we aren't finding out if it is a boy or girl that is the name we've choosen). Just wanted to post this real quick - more pic's will come of Ty and the dog! Ty has a "baby bump" of his own! ;)

What To Do With The Nursery
I thought this first one would look good - cause we have wood floors!

I'm not a big fan of the green....but I love the ceiling.
-k- so tell me - 1,2, or 3.....or a combination! Thanks friends!
Tuesday, January 09, 2007
UPDATE!
As far as Ty is going - his blood just won't thin out! Which means he is house bound. Poor guy is getting so bored - but has a great attitude knowing that he'll be up and walking around in no time. He has 3 appointments on Friday so we'll be able to tell everyone more news then.
Other then that - life is good - we are starting to plan how we are going to decorate the baby's room - and how we will rearrange everything else in the house. Lots of projects that is for sure.
I'll try and get more pic's up of how things are looking around here. Until then ttfn.

Crazy, Scary Weekend
This weekend was one that won't be forgotten! Other then it being the start of a new year - Ty got a real big scare. On Saturday he had started having chest pain that would last about a hour and then go away. At first he didn't want to go to the hospital - but after telling him that chest pain is bad no matter what - we agreed that if it happened again we would go to the e.r. 4 a.m Sunday morning - it started again. At the e.r. they found that it was a blood clot in his right lower lung. It is a huge thing - and all the nurses kept on telling us how lucky Ty was to be alive and told him he had cheated death. He was in for 2 days but is now home where I want him to stay! He is on medicine to thin his blood. One of the meds - would have cost $502 if we didn't have insurance! Thank goodness we have insurance - it cut the cost to almost nothing. We have A LOT to be greatful for this new year! And Ty made a promise that we wouldn't ring in 2008 the same way we rang in 2007!
