Hayden's Here!

At 9:49 p.m. on September 25, 2008 Hayden Blosch Sanford was born at Mountain View Hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Hayden’s Stats:
- 6 lbs 9 oz's.
- 19 ½” long


Hayden and Zenica are both doing great.

Zenica started having consistent contractions around 1:30 p.m. and they got stronger and closer together each hour. By 4:00 p.m. they were about 4-5 minutes apart and painful enough that she wanted to get to the hospital.

They held off Zenica’s labor for an hour or two since her doctor got called into a
C-section for another patient. These couple of hours were the longest so we killed time reading and watching Oregon State work over USC.

Anyway, Zen’s blood pressure was a little low, so they got that boosted up and once they increased the pitocin she progressed pretty quickly. They checked her at 9:30 and she was fully dilated, so within minutes Dr. Hall was here and after 2 ½ pushes, Hayden was born.

About 45 minutes after he was born, I went and picked up Alex (Connor was sound asleep) and she was so excited to see her new baby brother. She was so sweet with him and Zenica. When she left she was so happy, she was doing cartwheels (literally) in the hospital hallway and on the grass.

We need to give a BIG thank you to the Stacey family for watching Alex and Connor while Zenica’s parents made their way up from Utah. They were a real life saver!

We are very blessed that Hayden is healthy and I’m especially grateful Zenica is healthy.

Zen is amazing. I am blessed to have such a wonderful, beautiful wife that is an awesome mom. There’s no question that having three will challenge us, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Welcome to life and this wonderful world Hayden!

Laundry, Laundry and More Laundry…

So can you guess what I did yesterday? That’s right continuing to try and get ready for this little boy to arrive - and anytime now would be great!
I have taken out all of the baby clothes from the bins and have decided to wash everything before it’s too late. Unfortunately, I still only have one dresser but thankfully a second (non-broken one) will be delivered today!
I think I’m just hoping that once I get everything done that I’ll magically go into labor - wouldn’t that be great? I’m trying to be patient, but it’s hard when my belly keeps getting bigger and more uncomfortable.
Also this weekend would be a perfect weekend to have a baby because it’s BYU’s bye week and that means all the attention would be on me and the baby.  I’m really just kidding. Whether it’s this weekend or in two weeks I have the best husband that will always put his family first and for that I am so grateful.
Thank you Ryan for everything you have done and continue to do and for your sake and sanity, I really do hope we have the baby sooner than later.

They’re Sharing a Room…

It’s been some time since my last post, but not too much has been going on other than trying to get ready for the baby. We have decided to put Connor and Alex in the same room and it took me forever to decide on how to decorate a room that a boy and girl would share.

I finally come up with this idea after finding some bedding at Target. Ally’s room went from lavender to white with a brown accent stripe and we put pink and blue polka dots above each of their beds. Thanks to Nicole and her Cricut I was able to get all the dots I needed to put up on the wall.

The worst part about it was painting a purple room white. It took me and Ryan forever to get the purple all covered up with multiple coats of primer and paint

I still have a few things that I’d like to find to accent the walls and Connor’s blue dots don’t match he’s bed perfectly, but it works. Here is a before and after picture of their room.

Also Connor and Alex slept together for the first time last night and did better than I expected. Connor was jabbering at Alex and she kept telling him it was time to go to bed. She even went and tucked him in when he got out of bed. Hopefully they like being roomies for a little while.

Baby Trinity

Yesterday my brother Shaler and his wife Dani had their very first little baby. Her name is Trinity Blosch - she weighed 6 lbs 11 oz. and was 19” long. They were a little nervous because that cord was around her neck and hands, but everything turned out great and mom and baby are both doing well.

Congratulations guys we are so excited to see little Trinity in person this weekend.

Scrap Booking Challenge

A few of my friends put together another scrap booking challenge for the month of August and September. The challenge is 31 layouts and a mini book. It’s just what I needed to motivate me to get some of these things done before the baby comes.

Here is what I have so far - 17 layouts and a mini book. So the mini book isn’t quit done, but everything that’s left on it is easy and should take no time at all. Now I just need to get working on a lot more layouts, but I am halfway done and September hasn’t even started. I’m feeling pretty good about this challenge - so thanks to Janet and Nicole for coming up with it!

Alex’s First Day of Preschool

Today was Ally’s first day of 4-yr old preschool and she was so excited. She goes from noon-2:30 p.m., but she could hardly wait this morning - at 9:30 she was already asking if we could go. I tried to explain to her that we would go after she had lunch, but she was so ready to go, that was tough for her.


When we finally got there she was so eager to show her new teacher, Miss Sara, all her school supplies that she brought to share - it was really cute.


I had another ultrasound so Ryan picked her up today and she told him that she had a really fun time, but that one of the boys in her class was hitting her leg and that made it hard for her to listen to the teacher sometimes. Some of the kids in her class are the same, but Ryan said it seems like she’s made some new friends too and she is of course excited to go back next week. Hopefully it will be a really fun year for her.
