Emett Mathias Rock

October 30, 2009

Logan, Utah

8 lbs- 19 1/2 inches

Hello!!! i know its been a month! I have been so busy with work, church, family & trying to get baby things ready for my little guy. He WAS DUE NOVEMBER 12 but came early! 2 weeks earlier than anticipated. If anything i thought he was going to be on Samoan/Poly time and come like 2 weeks late, but Emett is more like his daddy... very punctual and early to everything!

It has been such a blessing, seriously who would have thought that such a tiny little thing can bring such a huge spirit into our home!?!? Our home feels so differently now. He brings a warmth and a joy i never thought I was missing.

You know that feeling when you first get married or fall in love, you are soooo happy and heart full of joy and happiness? Well motherly love is a whole different feeling! I cant explain it. It's the kind of love that allows you to go without sleep for days and function on 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night to make sure they are fed, have a clean diaper, and are comfy. You want the absolute best for them! i love staring at him. It is a lot of work and they require so much time and attention. It is so fun though. It is work though that's for sure.

Here he is just 6 days old! My darling son Emett Mathias Rock

It took us forever to decide on Emett. but i love the name it suits him, he'll be an athlete, and NO I DID NOT name him after a twilight character! his middle name Mathias is after my only brother :O)

Here is is daddy in the recovery room. Levi is sooo good with him! the wall in the back says Cherish the little things... how appropriate! Emett looks so much like his daddy. They say babies change so much within the first 6 weeks so i am still waiting to see if he has any of my physical features. Even his eyes are a glossy bluey gray color.

They look so peaceful when they sleep

awwwww i love you baby!

7 has always been my lucky number! All through middle & high school, club travel volleyball and college my jersey # was always #7 so i had to take a pic of the room we stayed in for 3 days @ hospital.

Levi is walking baby Em in his new stroller which we LOVE!

Thanks mom and sisters (on levi's side)

Proud PAPA!

b/c of the swine fly craziness they didnt allow any visitors during the entire stay at the hospital so that was sad :O( g'ma and g'pa Rock drove all the way from highland to look at a picture! LAME!

Here he is with Grammy Faye who flew in that night on a whim. Thanks mommy!

Ok so I was dialated to a whopping 7 CM! No pain and well i was contracting but didnt feel anything! WHAT A BLESSING!

I went in for my weekly check up and asked the doctor if it would be ok to travel to Orem for a halloween party being so close to my due date, he said we'll see how far along your are dialated....

he looked at me in shock b/c just the week before i was only at a 3! i felt fine and he said I needed to go up stairs to have the baby right away being dialated to a 7 and letting me leave was dangerous b/c the cervix was so open and nothing was protecting the membranes (whatever that means) and it could get infected and blah blah...

i wanted to cry! i was not ready to have a baby and i was sooooo scared! i told Dr Olsen that i had to be at work in 10 min and that i had too many things going on that weekend and if we could push it to the following Monday........ I KNOW! What WAS i thinking!????!!!

honestly i was just scared and not prepared to have a kid that soon, plus i felt fine. the usual cramping but nothing like labor pains like they show on the movies. (lol i like that i base it off of that) but for reals though.

so I went to work and called Levi and he was like WHAT??? NO YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL! so i helped some customers at the bank for a while (about 2 hours) and my boss and co workers kept trying to push me out the door to get to the hospital. I called my mom and she booked her flight right away, Levi went home and packed my bags, ya know, the ones i was supposed to have packed weeks ago to be ready.

i came home ate some lunch took some profile pics and off the hospital we went!

I was craving ice cream on the way and i begged Levi to take me to Cold Stone but by then he was annoyed i didnt listen to doc and go to have baby hours ago, so we didnt get my ice cream :(

Here is my last profile shot at home.........

I pushed for a little over and hour and POOF baby was there. I went from a 7 to an 8 in an hour and so on. I loved my epidural and was texting my family and friends through the labor process LOL my sisters was like "dude for reals Lithie, who texts when they are in labor?"

What can i say? i felt great and was excited!

Our first family photo........

Levi's first poopy diaper change, he is a natural......

on our way out! Homeward bound! my mom, levi, me and baby.

Levi loves that stroller lol

he looks chunky here but he isnt....
