Zhanna Grace 4-15-12
Good 'Ol post delivery In N Out!
She's finally here! Well, my water broke a little after 5 am Sunday the 15th. I was in bed and it was such a funny feeling, and I continued to leak for several hours afterwards. With Luke, my mid wife broke my water so this was a whole new experience for me. We arrived at the hospital about 30 minutes after my water broke and we just waited and waited. The nurse wanted to test my water to see if my water REALLY did break and so they had me put on a "diaper" and walk around for an hour. So we did and I kept leaking and so after the hour they were able to confirm that my water broke...HAHA!!! Well, my contractions just got stronger and stronger and I was very ready for my epidural! Overall it was pretty uneventful, just trying to rest and hanging out with Marcee, April and Alex who came to visit.
Next thing I know I'm fully dilated and ready to see our baby girl! The nurse said that only pushed for 3 minutes and then she was out. She was born at 4:46 pm less that 10 hours after I arrived at the hospital. She was crying before her feet came out, so Zhanna got a very good Apgar score of 9.9. She is absolutely perfect with a full head of hair.
Thank you Lord for this long awaited miracle!
Baby Shower #1
My friend Kim and I. She is 3 weeks ahead of me.
The most amazing Taco Bar!
I was so blessed and I can't wait to see this precious baby girl!
6 months
Wow, 6 months already. I thought it would take forever to reach this point in my pregnancy. I absolutely love being pregnant and feeling her move more and more. It is such an amazing feeling, even though it sometimes keeps me up at night. God is blessing us beyond what we every imagined and we continue to look forward to see where He takes us. Luke is getting more excited about having a sister and I'm getting used to having a little pink and purple around. Not my favorite colors, but I know I can't avoid them. HAHA!
My last day of work will be here before I know, so at this time I have a lot of work to do to plan the last seven weeks of lesson plans. I still have my yearbook coming in after the birth, so I will find myself back on campus to do the last of my Yearbook requirements. I will miss all my
"other kids" here on campus, but excited for the time off.
Christmas 2011
Christmas this year was not as eventful as lasts, we were going to have a repeat of it by returning to our favorite national parks since my pass was still valid. Since I'm pregnant and needing to go to the restroom every half hour we thought hiking through these park would not be the best :(
So we had a nice, quiet, just the three of us Christmas. It was also the 15th anniversary of when Matt proposed to me...wow 15 years already! As I reflect back on 2011 God has truly blessed our family! Never did I think I would ever get pregnant again and that miracle there continues to prove that God is listening and will answer in His time. We have grown closer as a family and have a deeper understanding of who God's love for us and who He really is in our lives. I definitely want to know Him more this 2012.
There are so many things to look forward to this new year. Baby Z will be with us in April and Matt and I hope to purchase our first home.
Thank you Lord for the the trials and the blessings in our life.
It's a Girl!
After waiting a week after my ultrasound we now we know you're a girl.We had the technician put either boy or girl on a card and I gave the card to the baker who made the cake to be pink or blue. Not even Matt and I knew. The following week on 11/11 we cut into the cake in the presence of a few of our closest friends and to our surprise it's a GIRL!
Can't wait to see you Zhanna Grace Cutler
12 weeks
It's pretty amazing watching my once little belly grow. Just shows how awesome God is and what He continues to create. I am so grateful that God chose Matt and I to have another child and to raise this one to love and worship our creator.
We can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl which should be around early December.
Little Mexican Jumping Bean
Well, here you are! We finally get to see little you! You are another answer to prayer and we are so excited to meet you in about seven months. You have a big brother and he can't wait to hold you. We prayed for you for so long and we are so full of joy over the news of you coming into our lives.
Still in Shock!
Two months
After eight years waiting on the Lord, not always patiently, I am finally PREGNANT!
Saturday, August 20th I took a test and I was standing there shacking when I FINALLY saw two lines. I still didn't believe it so I took another one and another one the following morning. I just couldn't believe it, after all these years! I look forward to seeing how God will continue to show off in our lives, for He chose this particular season in our life to have this baby.
We feel so humbled at the fact that we have had so many people pray for us regarding having a baby. When we made my pregnancy public we had quite a few people just start crying over the happy news and hearing then tell us that they have been praying.
What's funny is that I had been waiting to start my cycle so we can start the artificial insemination process, and we didn't have to! WOW! Still in awe over all this!
