Megan is here

2009-12-27T16:31:00.000-08:00

Megan was almost a Christmas baby. She was 40 minutes to late. Sharisa went into labor at 10 in the morning and we went in about 6. They broke her water at 10:45pm and Megan arived at 12:45am on December 26th. She weighed 7lb 10oz and was 19.5 inches long. We are so excited to finally have her here.

2009-11-12T15:37:00.000-08:00

I know that I am a slacker. Here are some picture's, some of Hanna's birthday and a few others. Everything is going well with us. Hanna is growing up way to fast. She is so much fun. We can't wait for the new baby to get here, only one and half months to go. I am deffinetly ready to have her here and not in my belly. My goal is not to be pregnant next year.

2009-09-18T20:12:00.000-07:00

IT'S ANOTHER GIRL
We are way excited. I can't wait for her to be here. But I am a little nervous. Hanna is all over the place and she keeps me busy.

2009-07-30T10:43:00.000-07:00

Well Hanna, my Mom and I went to Las Vegas this past weekend. My mom went to a consert Saturday. I wasn't going to go with her, but my cousin from Texas was there for the week. she was leaving Friday afternoon. So we went down Thursday. We were staying at some friends house for the weekend. Well we went to dinner and hung out with my cousin Friday night and the went back to our friend house. It was like eleven o'clock and we were way tired. Hanna was on the tile crawling around while we got ready for bed. I grabbed the keys to get something out of the car. On my way out I dropped the keys and when I went to grab them I saw a scropion, very close to where Hanna was. She had been crawling around and I am pretty sure that she crawled over it or really near it. The scariest thing is that Hanna picks everything up and puts it in her mouth. She could have very easily reached for it. We think it might have been dead, but you can't be sure. They play dead until you touch them and that is when they strike (at least that is what I have heard). Anyway I freaked out and grabbed Hanna off the floor. Needless to say we packed up and went to a hotel. So our free stay in Las Vegas turned into $200. Even after all of that we still had a pretty good time. But I am even more sure now that I would never live somewhere where it is that hot and has scorpions.

2009-07-14T10:53:00.000-07:00

I know it has been forever. There has been a lot going on around here.

Hanna has three teeth and another one on the way. She is crawling (well mainly army crawling, but she is getting the hang of it) all over the place. She is climbing on everything. She walks along the couch (and everything else that she can get up on). She sleeps through the night. She is getting so big, I can't believe that she is going to be one year in three months. She has the bluest eyes and the cutest smile.
Kim is getting ready for his deer hunt. He is having a great time. Other than that he isn't up to much.

I am just being a mom and having a great time at it. I am just getting used to the idea of having another child. I am very excited and can't wait to find out what we are having.

We had a great 4th of July. We went to the parade in Parowan with my mom. After that we went to my parents for a BBQ. It was a lot of fun. We had watermelon, so we took Hanna's clothes off and gave her a grind. She loved chewing on it. When she got down to the end of the one side Kim went to turn it around and Hanna started having a fit. She was liking her watermelon a lot. When we got home we lit off fireworks. Hanna never smiled or cried, but we think that she liked them. Every time they went off she would kick her arms and legs. When we did the sparklers she kept grabbing for them. It was a good day.

Hanna loves to go for walks. She just holds the tray and looks around at everything. When we pass plants on the side of the sidewalk she reaches out to try and grab them.

Hanna also loves to swing. Kim and I took her the other day and she just starrted smiling. She had a great time.

OOPS!!!!!!!!

2009-05-13T16:41:00.001-07:00

Yah, we got a big suprise (shock) the other day. We are going to have another baby. I am due January 2, 2010. We are excited, now that we are past the shock. It will be quite an adventure. It didn't seem real until I went to the doctor and heard the heart beat. It is so cool to hear a heart beat of a baby the size of a piece of rice.
Hanna is growing so fast, she is seven months today. She has her first tooth coming in. Its not to far but I can feel the tip of it.
Other than that we are doing good.

Lovell Family Report

2009-04-28T12:11:00.000-07:00

I know it has been forever since I wrote. It is crazy with a little one around.

I can't believe Hanna is getting so big, so fast. She is almost seven months old. I love being a mom, it is the best thing ever. Some new things that are going: Hanna is rolling over like crazy. She still will only roll over to the right and back, but she gets where she wants to (eventually). She turns in circle and slowly pushes herself where she wants to go. We are certain that she will be crawling very soon, she gets up on her on her hands and knees. Hanna is eating three meals a day and only about four-4oz bottles. She is talking like crazy and is a great baby. She is still a little wobbly when she sits on her own, but she is getting better every day.

Kim is as accident prone as ever. His back is still bothering him. The other day he sliced his finger with a razor blade at work. He had to have six stitches. Other than that not much has changed with Kim. He is still enjoying shed hunting every weekend. He is having a lot of fun working on is garden. He drew out for the deer hunt and is very excited about that. Kim is the best husband ever and a wonderful father.

I am not up to much, just being a wife and mother. I am definitely enjoying the nice weather and being able to take walks and hang out outside. I just wish that the wind would go away.

Here are some pictures of the past month or so:

Hello!!!!!

2009-03-11T19:25:00.000-07:00

I know that it has been a long time since I have written. We have not been up to much, just hanging out.

I had the TV on the other day and I laid Hanna on the floor on her belly. She waws quite content just watching TV for awhile.

Just A Few Things

2009-02-10T15:13:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to give an update on the things that we have been up to. First off Hanna is sleeping in her own room now and is doing very well with it. She is going to bed earlier and only waking up once or twice, depending on what time she eats before bed, before seven. Last night Kim put her to bed and she wasn't asleep when he laid her down, but she just laid there and played with herself. We could hear her on the monitor talking. She has started to talk more and make fun noises. She has also started to squeal, it is so cute. She is doing better with her cereal, but we are still having some struggles. We took her swimming for the first time last week. It was fun. She wasn't quite sure what to think about it. She never cried, but she didn't smile or kick. She only lasted a little while before she started shivering. The other day I asked Kim to take the laundry baskets up stairs and then come back down and get Hanna. Well he didn't want to make two trips so he just put Hanna in the laundry basket. That is about all that has been going on with us lately.

Cereal

2009-01-29T18:16:00.000-08:00

Today Hanna got to try rice cereal for the first time. She tried to eat the spoon like a bottle, she kept turning her head to the side burring it in the side of the high chair. I don't think she mind it so much as she had a problem with it not being a bottle. Next I think I will give her the bottle first and then try the cereal, maybe then she won't get so mad that she isn't getting anything to eat. I figured that it would be messy, so I fed it to her in her diaper and a bib. It was a good thing that I did because she did make a mess, not to bad but it would have beem worse on her clothes. Hopefully it will go better tomorrow.

Just a few thoughts

2009-01-29T14:28:00.000-08:00

Well everyone is always getting on my case to update my blog with pictures (don't worry there coming) but I wanted to also give an update on Hanna. She will be four months in two weeks. I can't believe that time has gone by so fast. It seems like I was just worrying and stressing about her getting here healthy and wondering if she would ever come and now she almost four months. I love being a mom, it is the best thing ever. She started smiling a month and a half ago and it still melts my heart every time she looks up at me and gives me a big smile. She is the happiest baby. She sleeps through the night, she might wake up once, at about 3 or 4, to eat and then goes right back to sleep. Then she usually wakes up between 6 or 7 to eat and then sleeps until 9-9:30. It is great! She has also started focusing her eyes on things and she will follow me and Kim with them when we walk past her. She is starting to notice more things and get entertained by them, usually for no longer than a minute. She is very stuborn, but that doesn't seem to suprise anyone. She hasn't lost any of her hair and it seems to be turning a shade of brownish-red. She hasn't rolled over yet, but we are working on it. She is always so happy and fun to be around. We love her so much and are blessed to have her in our lives. Here a few of random pictures.

Merry Christmas

2009-01-29T11:00:00.000-08:00

It has been crazy around here, but I finally have a minute to tell you about christmas. We were in Delta Christmas Eve and part of Christmas Day. Will and Julie went to Mexico in Nivember and wanted to share their experience with us. They stayted in a time share in Mexico and at the time share they had ropes that would block off people trying to sell things. These people could only cross the rope if they were invited. So for Christmas Eve Will and Julie acted as these people. Julie gave us all paper money and they stood behind a rope with all the souveniers that they bought. It was quite fun and entertaining. After that Julie and Gabe showed us all how to do the Mexican Hat Dance. That was quite funny.

Christmas Morning wasn't to eventful. We didn't really start Christmas until about eight-thirty. We all took turns opening our presents. And after that we all just had a relaxing morning. Later that day we went to my parents for our Christmas with them and my dad's birthday.

All in all Christmas was a lot of fun. The best part was Christmas Eve.

Every year with the Lovell's we do home made gifts. This year Kim had my name and this is what he made me. He took one of his antlers that he found and glued battery operated candles to the top of it. He used a ton of glue to get them to stick. It was awesome and I love it.

Hanna was Blesses on her daddy's birthday, December 7. Kim was so nervous to give the blessing, but he did a great job. It was a very nice blessing. We had a luncheon afterwards with our friends and family. It was quite uneventful, but a lot of fun.

Christmas Calender

I made a calender for Kim for Christmas. I took twelve different picture of Hanna. Each picture she had a different outfit on for that month. It was a lot of fun to do the pictures. Shellie and Julie helped me and it took us all day to do. Hanna was quite the little trooper. She was only asleep in one of the pictures. Here are a few of my favorite pictures.

Thanksgiving and Grandma's birthday

2008-12-28T12:53:00.000-08:00

I know that it's past Christmas, but I was having trouble getting these pictures to work. We went to Thanksgiving at my grandparents in St. George. All the family was there except my dad's two youngest brothers. It was way fun. We ate dinner and then we played bingo and a dice game. The price for bingo was a doller each time you got a bingo. My cousin Gabe, who is about four kept winning and he was so excited. By the time the game was over He had four dollars, He was so excited. Grandpa gave him another dollar and Gabe couldn't stop smiling. It was quite entertaining with all of my little cousins. We had a lot of fun.

We had a suprise party for my Grandma's sixtieth birthday. Mu Grandparents were suppose to leave the day after Thanksgiving to go to Hawaii, but that fell through and my Grandma was very sad. So my Aunts decided to have a Luau for her Birthday. They did a great job setting up the church and they even had Hawaian dancers. The dancers were bery good and the head lady even taught my Grandparents how to dance. It was quite funny. We had a lot of fun.

Sorry that I haven't updated in awhile, I am still trying to get the hang of it. Not much has been happening, just getting use to being a mom. I am loving every minute of it. Here are a few new pictures of Hanna. Hope you enjoy them.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2008-11-03T14:57:00.000-08:00

Hanna was a bunny rabbit for Halloween. She was so cute. We went to our wards truck or treat. I have never been to a trunk or treat, we had a lot of fun.

So Cute.....

2008-11-03T14:24:00.000-08:00

Sorry that it has been awhile since we added to our blog. Things have been crazy. We are all still trying to get used to things. Hanna is doing great. She is a very good baby. She only cries when she's hungry. For the most part she just sleeps or just lies around and looks at everything. Kim is amazing with her, he absolutely adores her. He always fights with me to hold her. He has a hard time sharing her. I am having a great time being a mother. I am enjoying her very much. Here are some new pictures.

First 2 nights

2008-10-17T16:26:00.000-07:00

Hanna is home now Sharisa is doing really well. We both had no sleep the first night, Hanna thinks that when the sun goes down that it is day time. She will get the hang of it. She has jaundice so we have the lights home she lives in the suitcase right now. Thanks for all the prayers and love we really appreciate it.

She is hear. Hanna was born last night at 10:00 Pm, she weighed 6LB 9 OZ she is 19 inch long. She has lots of hair and it is not red or blond, it is dark brown. Sharisa came in yesterday because she did not fill Hanna move all night. Hanna was stressed out and ready to come so they induced Sharisa. They came into the room and broke her water about 9:30 Pm and then she went quick. So we are way excited everything looks good. I will try and put a picture on here.

Update on Baby Hanna

2008-08-01T16:21:00.000-07:00

We went to see the specialist in St. George last week. He said that they aren't exactly sure what causes the shortening of the cervix, so they aren't exactly sure how to fix it. So he said they take every pre-causion that they can. He said that everything that our doctor is doing is good and he wouldn't change anything. He seemed to be very optimistic that the baby won't come for awhile longer. It helped us quite a bit to here what he had to say.

We went to our doctor yesterday and he said we are loosing a little ground. He said that his first concern is my water breaking and his second concern is me going into pre-term labor. I always thought that once your water broke you were in labor and would have your baby at any time. Apparently they can hold of the labor or the baby coming for awhile. He said he had one lady that went another two and a half weeks after her water broke before she delivered. If my water does break then I will be put on bed rest in the hospital. He still seemed pretty optimistic that I will be okay for awhile longer as long as I stay off my feet.

Other than all of that I am doing fairly well. I am not having hardly any more cramping, so I am feeling pretty good. I am quite bored, but I know that it will all be worth it in the end. Everything else is going good. We will continue to keep you all updated.

Baby Shower

2008-08-01T16:15:00.000-07:00

Shellie is throughing me a shower on August, 23. I just wanted to let everyone know that you are all invited. It will be held in Parowan, UT. If any of you would like to come please RSVP to Shellie at 477-9990, as soon as possible. Hope to see you there.

2 Night in the Hospital

2008-07-18T17:20:00.000-07:00

Well it has been a while since we last posted a blog. So I am sitting hear in the hospital bored out of my mind and thought that I would get everybody caught up on are little baby edventure. Sharisa is now at 26 weeks and she has been having some trubles for a while now. She was put on light bedrest about 3 weeks ago because her cervix has been thinning. She is supposto be at a 40 and over the last 4 weeks she has gone from a 35 to a 27 to a 21 to a 10 anything under a 25 means that she could have the baby at any time. Well yesterday she was put on strict bed rest and this morning she was having bad contactions and she came into the hospital so they put her on some Ivs and gave her some more staroides to help the baby grow quicker and then they did an olrasound the baby weights about 2 pds. The baby looks good. We are hoping and praying that she will hold on the the baby at least 2-3 more weeks. Other then that things are ok with us. We are looking forward to having a little girl.

IT'S A GIRL

2008-05-24T21:23:00.000-07:00

Well it is a girl. Last week we went in to see the doctor for an ultrasound, we thought we were having a boy because of the last ultrasound and the doctor told Sharisa not to buy any blue because he was not 100% sure. She did very good at not buying too much. So when we went last week we were doing the ultrasound and Sharisa and I kept saying that are boy was getting big, then the doctor said I don't think you are having a boy, you are having a girl. So we are having a little red headed little girl. We are so excited, I think I have Sharisa talked into naming it Sophronia Kim Lovell I don't think I am going to win that one.

!!!!!!EXCITING NEWS!!!!!!

2008-02-21T15:52:00.000-08:00

I am pregnant. It has been a long, hard road but we finally made it. We are way excited. I am only about six weeks along, so this is going to be a long 9 months.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MAXWELL KRAMER NIEDERHAUSER

2008-02-21T10:29:00.000-08:00

Well I guess I will start here. My brother Max died on October 20th, 2007. I will admit that it was the worst day of my life. He died in an ATV accident while racing on the beach in California. He was only seventeen, but had lived more fully than most eighty year-olds I know. He loved to race and was really good at it. He was a great snowboarder and loved every minute of it. He was never afraid to try anything, no matter how dangerous it was. He was deffinetly a mamas boy and always wanted her around. He was a senior at Parowan High School and would have graduated in January 2008 (walked in May). He was always working, even if he wasn't getting paid. He was a hard worker and loved to help others out. I will never forget what a wonderfull little brother he was and everything that he did for me and his family. He will forever be in out hearts.

WE LOVE YOU MAX

2008-02-21T10:01:00.000-08:00

Sorry I havn't updated in awhile there has been a lot going on. We love our new home and have been painting with fun colors. Kim's ankle is doing much better. It is now shed hunting season, so Kim is out in the mountains most of the time. I am just working and not doing much else. We have a new baby nephew on the way, he will be here in April. Other than that there has been a couple major things happens in the last four months...

Kim and his ankle

2007-09-14T19:16:00.000-07:00

Well Kim sprained his ankle on the 12th. It didn't slow him down to much. He is back at work playing secretary. The first day back at work he was hating life. He was so bored learning how to do paperwork, he thought the day would never end. He did find a new appreciation for us office workers. He his getting a lot better at the work and learning a lot more. I am sure that he can't wait for the day he gets to go back to delivering.

2007-09-12T15:09:00.000-07:00

Our most recent exciting news is we bought a house. It's not anything fancy, it is just a town home. It has three bedroom and two 1/2 bath. The house is just big enough for the two of us and the start of a family (eventually). We got to pick out the paint, carpet, counter tops, and tile. We only had three different choices, but still we felt like we got to do a little. We are so excited to have our new home.
