I loved being a mom, even though didn't get much sleep! I was so grateful that we were blessed with this handsome little baby!

Brian loved being a dad, he was so cute with Derek!

When we came home from the hospital, Derek had jaundice, so they had a billibed delivered to the house so it would help the jaundice go away! Brian laid him on a blanket and let the sun shine on him before the bed was delivered! Derek was suppose to be on the bed all the time, it was really hard to not be able to hold him except for feeding him. He cried a lot, but we had to keep him on there so the jaundice would go away!

Here are a few pictures of Derek just 2 days after he was born! He is just so cute!

We didn't know until our baby was born what his name was going to be! I was about 2 weeks late with Derek, it was miserable! Derek was wanting to stay in there as long as he could! The doctor ended up inducing me because of that! When Derek came out the umbillical cord was wrapped around his neck so he had to go straight over to the nurses to be checked out! Derek didn't cry, all he did was grunt, it was so cute!

Time went by and Brian and I found out we were going to have a baby! We were so excited! I went to the Doctor's office to make sure I was pregnant and after the doctor's appointment I went out to my car and found out I had a flat tire, and there was a lot of snow on the ground! Brian was at work and he forgot his cell phone! My brother came over and helped me! We weren't sure if we wanted to tell people right away, but we told his parents that night over the phone and told some others we were close too! We told everybody else on Christmas and the days following that! The first part of the pregnancy wasn't too bad except being tired all the time and a little sick! We both couldn't wait to find out the gender of the baby! We both felt like we were having a boy but we didn't know for sure if we were. Turns out we were right, we found out we were going to have a little baby boy!

Brian and I were married at the Manti Temple in 2006!
