My first baby dot com

So, there's this NEW website called myfirstbaby.com and it's for new mom's to go to and get advice and post videos and watch videos of other first time mom's and share experiences etc. Once a week on a show called "Better" some of the video's are aired on TV... what does this have to do with me you ask???

I was chosen to be a "first time mom" for the website! A couple months ago my mom heard about this and called and told me to email these people my picture and tell them I want to be a part of the program, but she couldn't really remember or explain exactly what it was. I thought she was silly and I didn't send in my picture, but she kept nagging me, so I did. They wrote back to set up a phone interview, and that went great. They asked me to send in a video of myself to see how I looked/acted on camera. Then, they picked me and sent me a FREE FLIP video camera, and a FREE Graco CARSEAT & STROLLER!!!! Now I have assignments of what I need to take video's of and share my experiences :) (some of them are really silly/ weird that I'm trying to give advice on things that are no-brainers! LOL)

Now you can go to myfirstbaby.com and search cblance and see my video's and profile, and COMMENT on my videos, I don't have any comments yet...a little help??? :)

Anyway, NEATO eh? They also contacted me this week saying they liked my video's and wanted my local news to do a piece on my involvement...cool :)

Video, one week old

here's some video I took of Everett, you might think it's boring, don't feel obligated to watch, i just want to capture him at every stage

;)

And 5 days old

HAPPY SABBATH

A little something to brighten your already happy Sabbath :) Everett and I didn't go to church today, BUT we did dress up, I wore a dress because well, it's the most comfortable item of clothing I fit into, and Everett is sporting this ADORABLE onesie with a bowtie attached, a gift from one of the sisters in my ward, I think he likes it, and I can't stop giggling about it...enjoy the fruits of our photoshoot :)

LOL!!!! Cross-eyed! He does this often, it always cracks me up!

P.S. I looked down at my feet yesterday, and they were COMPLETELY normal!!! As in, NO swelling whatsoever!!! I can see my ankle bones, my veins, and the tendons or bones or whatever on the top of my feet! They are a beautiful sight to behold, I'm so weird, I can't stop looking at my feet and SMILING! LOL!! hahahahahaaaa Welcome back feet, now I can wear more than just my one pair of reef flip flops! (My feet haven't looked normal since beginning of December!) YEAH!!! A small but meaningful celebration of getting parts of my body back! (My tummy will never be the same, but hopefully I won't look 5 months pregnant for too much longer, any special work-out/ eating healthy to get your body back tips??? I am all ears!

At the hospital, and then coming Home

So, here's a video of some cuteness at the hospital, and then coming home from the hospital, he's already changed since then, and he's only 5 days old!!! I'm glad I have been video taping him, I don't ever want to forget how precious he is at every stage...I love being a mom

Labor and Delivery

So I could type up my hospital experience, but we video taped periodically at the hospital, and when I watched them, I was cracking up at myself, so tired, and loopy...but anyway, this was the process of labor for me, I was induced beginning at about 10 pm Friday night, and had Everett at 12:58 pm the next day...enjoy the video :)

Don't worry, I didn't film the ACTUAL delivery ha ha ha...gross.
