Stupid People!

Grrrrrrrrrr! So - everyone knows that I lost my cell phone! It's been terrible living without it the past week or so! I lost it at the hospital - just as I was checking out. Since I knew I had lost it there I talked with the nurses, gave a report to lost and found, AND had Ty stop by the hospital and see if he could find someone who knew about it. OF COURSE nothing turned up. So - today I decided to check our cell phone account. Well - someone found my phone and decided to start calling Mexico on it. They have charged about $150 in international phone calls and text messaging. Which my cell phone company told me I have to pay. AND they have also used most of our minutes - which we can't get reimburssed. I've filed a police report and am filing a complaint with the hospital (I'm pretty sure it was one of the cleaning ladies). I have all the phone numbers they called - and am hoping to get someone fired! <- I'm really mad! It is mind blowing how stupid people can be. I'm just glad that I found out about it. I can only imagine what our bill would look like if I wouldn't of checked our account! I'll let everyone know when I get my number back. In the mean time......Grrrrrrrrrrr!

So - now that I'm home all the time - you will all probably all notice a lot more postings appearing on my site. Hope you don't mind.

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

I've offically been a mom for 1 week! And to tell you the truth it is awesome! It's really crazy to think that something so pure and perfect came from me and Ty. I know, I know - give it a few years and I'll be singing a different tune. :) To tell you the truth the only bad part of being a mom is ALL the emotions that come with the new job! i.e. Last night Ty came home with the wrong size of diapers (he didn't know they had different sizes) - and I lost it - I seriously was in tears.....over diapers! What next! Side Note - THANK YOU Nicky for the words of advise! You know exactly what to say and when to say it......I think we've been friends for too long - just kidding - not long enough!

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

Proud Daddy!

Proud Mommy

(that looks like she got hit by a truck!)

Proud Cousin Talley

She won't put Dylan's pic down - takes it everywhere!
Ready to go home!

Story Time

So - for all of you that I haven't called.....I AM SORRY! For the first couple of days I was completely out of it - and now - I've lost my cell phone some how so this is me calling everyone and telling you how it went.
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!

Introducing.....

DYLAN ROBERT THIEL

Born: June 28th, 2007

Orem, Utah

Weighed 7 lbs 4 oz

20 inches long!

The Burn Lotion!

Soooooo to take my mind off the fact that I am still pregnant my sisters "kidnapped" me and took me to the pool to hang out and soak up some rays! It was really a nice day - not too bad - a little over cast! Perfect pool day weather!

Well - all of you know that I am about as white as white girls come! Usually when I go out in the sun my legs are the LAST to get any color! I usually have to go to the tanning beds for them to look a little colored. Well because of that my sister gave me some of her "tanning lotion" I put it on my legs about a half hour before we left the pool. Well......

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!

Ok - yeah - I think it is offically setting in. Everyone and their dogs are having their babies - except for me. (breathe) Girls that were due after me are having contractions - AND I don't think I've had one yet! I shouldn't be frustrated - but at my last appointment I still wasn't dialated OR efaced! And I have been doing EVERYTHING - EVERYONE has suggested. Ok - well everything except for the Caster Oil (yuck) .
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!

Soooooo - I don't know what I was thinking - BUT I took a trip to Roberts and got the creative bug. I think now that without my second job I'm having too much time on my hands and feel like I need to fill it with crafts! Watch out! Here is what I started with!
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

So I finally got my husband back!!! He was suppose to fly out Monday - and his flight got canceled AGAIN! I was about to die! But then they switched him airlines and where he was flying to and I got him home around 11 o'clock Monday night!
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!

Today is my mom's birthday - and we're about to leave for her party! She's 69 years old today! Happy Birthday Mom!

Crazy Weekend!

Oh my goodness! I've made it.....kind of! This last weekend was a little crazy. Of course from my last blog - Ty was gone - so my sister Heather and my Neice Talley came to stay with me. They really did help me out a lot - making it so I didn't focus on the emptiness of the house.
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!

Ty left this morning for Wisconsin! He is headed out there for a wedding - for one of his best friends from High School. While he is out there he gets to go to our nephew Nolan's birthday party. He is going to have so much fun!
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!

After A LOT of procrastinating and a couple of BAD dreams (one of the dreams was about not being able to bring Dylan home) - Ty and I went out and bought the car seat and stroller! I honestly think I was a little in denial that I was going to have a baby - and that's why I put it off for so long. But now that D-Day is only 3 and 1/2 weeks away - I thought I better get the ball rolling! I'm so excited now - and each time I see them I smile!

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

For all of you out there that know me pretty well - know that I like to be busy. I'm not one to sit around and watch time go by. In fact I have been famous on making myself a little too busy at times and undertaking too many things all at once. I love it though - and I've often called my self Superwoman for doing all of it so well. But today I found out I have limits. (gasp)
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!

This is my new little neice Ivie Rose Thiel! We haven't been able to meet her quite yet - but this is the pic that my brother-in-law sent us! We are heading down to New Mexico next weekend to see her......and her parents! :) We are so excited for them! Congrats Phil and Sarah!

For Nicky!

Ugh! I can't believe I am posting these! But this is Adalynn 8 months pregnant - in all my glory! For my dear friend Nicky! You owe me!

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!

Babysitting!

So last night my sister Christina and my brother-in-law Ben went to the Gwen Stefani/Akon concert - and while they went - Ty and I helped babysit Conner and Haylee. As you will notice there are no pictures of Haylee - BECAUSE - she was not a very happy baby - let's just put it that way. She really gave Ty and I and our neighbors a upclose and personal look at what it's going to be like with a baby! Eeeeekkkk! Too late to go back now! Just kidding!

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.

Ty's Celebrity Look Alikes

Happy Easter

WoW! I am soooo sorry for those of you that check my blog! I have been a major slacker and for that there is no excuse. Spring is here - as most of you know - and that means a lot of things. 1 - Everyone is getting married and 2 - Lot and Lots of yard work.

Since Ty and I are married the first doesn't really apply to us. BUT the second is consuming our weekends. As most of you know we moved into our house in September. Not leaving a lot of time for us to get our yard the way we would like it. So this spring we have found out that our yard needs A LOT of TLC. My first surprise is that I have tulips

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
