Isn't he so cute!!!


So here we all are on Halloween. We went to a Murder Mystery Night at our friends house. It was a pirate themed party and Adam was the Cap'n. He needed a parrot as part of his costume but since we couldn't find a parrot costume for Kevin to wear, Adam had to take a puppy dog instead. He sure is a cute puppy dog. We had a lot of fun and we will definetly be doing another murder mystery game.

Getting Kevin here

Wow, it has been a long week. A long but WONDERFUL week. The long awaited arrival of our little bundle of joy finally came. We went in on Sunday night the 14th to get induced. Kevin didn't seem to want to come so we had to make him. It was and intresting night, it went fast even though we didn't sleep too comfortably. We were definetly going off adrenaline.
The whole process was actually quite quick. The doctor broke my water at 9:30 and I about died of pain until they gave me my wonderful epidural at 10:30. The Doctor said he wanted a baby by lunchtime and I think Kevin must have heard him because I was completly ready to push at 12:30. I went from 5 Centemeters to 10 in about 45 minutes. I couldn't believe it was time to push and that they had already called the doctor. About 45 minutes later we had a baby. Kevin Russell Endsley was born on Monday October 15th, 2007 at 1:16 p.m. 8 lbs. 6 oz. 21 1/2 inches long. He is all that we wanted and MORE. Those in attendance included Adam Endsley, Jennilyn Stuart, Grandma Stuart (with Grandpa Stuart right outside the door getting the play by play from Grandma) Nurse Carolynn, Dr. Gray and of course Ashley.
WOW when he came out I was so completly overjoyed. That human being just slipped right out and he was a WHOLE person. Adam was able to cut the cord and then they layed him right on my chest. He was crying quite a bit but as soon as I talked to him he started to calm down. He layed on my chest for a while and I could not believe the Joy I felt. He is our little miracle.

Now 5 days later I am still amazed at the amount of love I feel for him. Everytime I see him I love him even more. He is an amazing baby, and he sleeps great, eats great, and is pretty much happy all the time. Adam is also so very excited about being a father and you can tell that he loves him so very much. Yesterday was his first day back to work and I think it might have broken his heart a little to have to leave Kevin.

I hope you guys enjoy the pictures, I will try to get more, but babies are hard to photograph. Thank you all for you love and support. It has been a long 9 months (probably because it was 9 1/2 months) but it was so worth it and we look forward to having at least 5 more. (a tiny inside joke just for Adam).

Thanks again.

THE ENDSLEY FAMILY

Presenting Kevin Russell Endsley

Grandpa Stuart feelin' quite proud.

Oh how sweet!!!

Just Relaxin'. Look at those sucker cheeks.

I love this baby soooo much!

Look how little compared to Daddy. He's got a lot of growing to do to be tall like Adam.

Daddy's first diaper change... and it was even a poopy one!!!

OVERDUE

SO here I am... 11 days overdue. Can you believe I am still semi smiling. This baby doesn't seem to want to get out of me. I keep trying to tell him that we will love him and still feed him and let him sleep as long as he wants when he gets here, but apparently I have made it too darn comfortable in there for him. I really wanted to go into labor on my own, but if I haven't then they will start me on Sunday night the 14th. Then he will most likely come on Monday. So at least we will have a baby by Monday the 15 of October... no worries that I was due on October 1st. Though I am at that point where I would do anything to get this kid out of me, Adam and I are mostly anxious to meet the little guy. We are however reminiscing in our last few days as just the two of us. Tomorrow we will make sure the house is in order and that EVERYTHING is in place. Then maybe we'll go to an afternoon movie (since we won't be doing that any time soon after the baby is born). The day is really quite free and open so we will have to have some fun. So as soon as Kevin Russell Endsley is here we will let everyone know via email/Text msg./ or telephone. We love you all and we will keep you posted.

My baby shower in St. George on the 4th of October. It was so much fun. At one point we had 5 preggers women there. I was glad I made it to the shower and I wasn't in labor or something. I definetly look like I should pop that baby out any time soon... but here it is 8 days later and yes... I am still pregnant.

Cedar Canyon

So here's Adam when we went up to Cedar Canyon on the 29th of Sept. The colors of the leaves changing were so beautiful and even though it was Really cold, we all enjoyed ourselves very much.

One Week and Counting

So here I am one week from my due date and everyone wants to know how I am feeling. Well... I am feeling a lot of things right now. Tired being one of them. I finally reached the point where I am just plain DONE being pregnant. Not that I have not loved this stage, but there comes a point where the curtains need to close and the play should be over. The only problem is, I don't have any control over the director of the play to tell him to end the show. But I am keeping a good attitude and staying positive. Hopefully my good attitude will show Heavenly Father that I am ready for the prize at the end of pregnancy... the baby of course.
Adam is being so patient. I keep telling the baby to come out and he just says... "He will when he's ready". I think he just wants to enjoy what little time he has left to sleep through the night. Which I guess is fine. I mean I like the whole sleeping through the night thing too... oh wait I don't sleep through the night. (I have to get up too much to visit the ol' Jon Jon.)
But really. I think I am just emotionally ready to be the mom and to see my cute little Kevin and to see how Adam reacts to it all. I want to hug this baby and show him how much I already love him. I know that my love for him will only grow stronger when I finally get to meet him.
Well that's pretty much it for now. I will keep everyone posted.
Luv ya'll

The Baby's Room

So we've pretty much finished the baby's room. Doesn't it look nice.
The rocking chair you see was Adam's mother's. It's a perfect place to sit and we feel grateful to have it for a while. We've had the changing table up for about 3 weeks, and we were just waiting for the crib to arrive (it came the same time the changing table came but it was broken). So when it came Adam put his effort to it and got it set up Friday night. Then Yesterday (saturday) I spent the whole day painting and washing clothes. I painted the star you see hanging up above the crib (it was brown) and the shelf (which was also brown) and the little corkboard/picture frame coat rack thing (which was a light blue). . Adam hung it all today so it looks pretty official. Next I plan on putting Kevin's name above the crib in block letters.
We washed all of Kevin's clothes and put them away, then we put the bedding on the crib. For my baby shower in Cedar my friend Crystal gave me a Diaper cake (which is essentially layers and layers of daipers). They filled the whole top drawer of the changing table!! Too bad that will probably only last us two weeks. CRAZY!! OH well.
I am feeling pretty excited to finally have the room done and now all we need is baby Kevin.
