Weston's First Day of Church

I've been meaning to post these pictures a while ago. We took Weston to sacrament meeting for the first time a couple Sunday's ago. He looked so cute in his tie onesie. He slept through the whole meeting of course. Like father, like son I guess:) .

Family Update

Weston- He will be one month old in just a few days! We took him to the doctor a few days ago after two evenings of hours and hours (seems like an eternity) of crying and not being able to really comfort him. I thought for sure he was sick, or had a cold or something. Turns out he was just fine and healthy, but has a little "colic" the doctor says. They think he has acid reflux so they gave us some medicine for it. Doesn't seem to be helping yet, hopefully soon. Poor little guy seems like he has gas though all the time and that it's painful :( I've already cut out all dairy, chocolate, and gassy, spicy foods, and any thing else I could think of that might hurt him, from my diet. I'd hate it if my milk were causing the problem. So I'll try some gas relief medicine too. It's a little frustrating, but he is doing well otherwise and cute as can be. We just love him so much. Oh yeah, and he was 8 lbs 8 oz at his doctors appointment, growing like a weed!

I went up to Logan for a few days. My parents are so awesome, they volunteered to wake up and feed him at night so I could get some sleep. Wonderful! I'm feeling a little sleep deprived even though I only wake up twice to feed him, I guess I have a really hard time functioning without my straight 8 hours :) I'm seriously such a wimp! He is completely worth it though and here are some recent pictures of Weston and of his stay at grandma Krogh's.

I love it when he goes cross-eyed.

He loves his little play gym.

This is the first time I put him on his tummy and he actually enjoyed it and didn't start freaking out.

Hanging out on grandma and grandpas couch.

He wore his cute moose pajamas the grandparents gave him for Christmas, they are my favorite.



I think he is starting look more like Kyle. What do you think?

Two Weeks

I can't believe Weston has already been with us for two weeks. He has been so much fun, he is such a sweet baby. I think I'll keep him:) This is what we've learned about our little guy so far.

He is stinking cute. I just stare at him all day long. He is finally starting to open his eyes a little more and keeps them open for longer periods of time.


He likes to sleep on his side.

He is a wiggle worm. He hates to be swaddled and has to have his arms free. He is strong and already kicks off his blanket. This is what I found the other day, not sure how he got the blanket all over the place like that.
When he is really out cold, he sleeps with his mouth wide open. It's cute.

He loves taking naps with Daddy.


Bath time is a very traumatic experience for him.


He gives some pretty good "crusty" looks that make me laugh.


He has lots of people that love him. My mom came and stayed for a few days to help out and so I can learn from the pro. I am so grateful for her help, she is amazing. Thanks Mom!

Kyle's family came to visit too. My mother in-law gave us some frozen meals and chicken noodle soup. She was so sweet and helpful. Thank you grandma Emmett!

Grandpa Emmett

And lots of cousins and aunts and uncles

Weston's Birthday

Weston came to earth on Jan. 5th, @ 1:58 a.m. and he is so perfect. Rather than go into the details of the birth story, I will just say it hurt, it was long, frustrating, exhausting, never felt anything like it, but it was SO WORTH IT. We love him more than we could have ever imagined. Here are some pictures of his big day.


Weston and Mommy

Weston and Daddy. This pretty much sums up how we all felt after a long day and night.

Wes had lots of visitors at the hospital. Grandpa Krogh.

Welcome Home Weston!

Look Who is Here!

After a lot of waiting and a lot of work he made his appearance on Jan. 5th, @ 1:58 a.m.
His name is Weston Kyle Emmett and we are SO in love with him.

7 lbs 11 oz; 20 inches long of pure cuteness.
Story and many more pictures coming soon when I have a minute, promise:)

The Real Meaning Of Christmas

I saw this video today and I guess the pregnancy hormones got the best of me. I couldn't stop crying. I will never fully comprehend the emotions, the faith, the responsibility, and the hardship Mary must have felt to bring Christ into this world. This Christmas especially, I am cherishing the fact that I am rounder than ever, completely exhausted, but yet so blessed to bring a baby boy into this world and to be a mother.
I just pray I can teach him to understand what Christmas is really about, as does this child telling of Christ's birth understands it.

Merry Christmas Everyone

Oh Baby We're Gettin' Close!

Well since baby is going to be here in 3-5 weeks I thought I'd do a classic "pregnancy post" as to not disappoint anyone. Here I am about to burst it seems at 35 weeks! However, I'm feeling great, nothing to complain about, no swollen limbs, achy back, leg cramps etc so far, but I guess I may have a couple weeks before all that comes. ? The "extra baggage" in the front is getting a little old I must say, and I find myself fantasizing about doing hundreds of crunches and other such things. :) BUT, I'm focusing on the positive and this is what I do like about pregnancy I've decided.

1. Maternity Pants, now, they aren't so bad. I don't have to worry about forgetting to zip my zipper up after going to the bathroom. It's awesome. I seemed to have done that frequently before I was pregnant:(

2. I've become even more health conscious. It's not that I ate unhealthy before, but being pregnant I've really tried to watch what I'm eating, how much, etc.. After all, I'm eating for a little guy too! It's become a good habit and hopefully one I can keep at!

3. The "expectant mother" parking spot at the local grocery store. Thought it was the dumbest thing before I was pregnant, now I'm thinking, hmmmmm, not such a bad idea. I just used it the other day at a packed full parking lot. I was in no mood to shop which isn't uncommon. I hate shopping. Even though I'm perfectly capable of walking from the back of the lot, it was rather convenient and I was okay with it.

4. Feeling him move. He's been moving lots and lots lately and I love it. I couldn't feel him move until I was almost 24 weeks, not sure why, and it always worried me. Now I'm worried he is going to kick right through me sometimes! He likes to jab his foot at my ribs as of late, but I'm grateful to know he is okay in there:)
