Hello!! I'm alive! I did it.
Oakley Julie Niu was born on March 30, 2010.
She weighed 9 lbs 7 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long!! Yup, I have small babies ;)
We just adore her.
I am doing well, trying to recover, but just THRILLED to not be pregnant anymore.
Thanks so much everyone for your love, concern, & congrats. I'm so blessed to have such incredible friends & family.
I have tons of pics, but too tired and exhausted to post em right now. One of my best friends Aubrey came to visit me at the hospital and meet Oakley, she is an incredible photographer and took some quick pictures of my lil sweetheart. Check out her blog for the recent pics.

I went to my appointment today, I FINALLY PROGRESSED!! SO....TOMORROW'S THE DAY!!! I'm getting induced at 7:30 AM... Can't wait!! I have mixed emotions nervous, excited, anxious.. CUH-RAZY it's finally here. WISH ME LUCK! :]

p.s. check my sister's(jayni) blog for updates.

GOOD LUCK!!

My sister's cheer squad is going to Nationals in California to compete , they leave on Wednesday. Last weekend they had a cheer showcase and showed us all what they have to offer.
Jett, Jayden (my nephew), and Bryton were loving it!

Yup, couldn't get a good picture of them all looking. UGH. Whatever.

Her cheer squad is really good! They have had 4 competitions this season and have taken 1st at all of them!!




They are State Champs and got this banner put in their gym at the AFHS as well.

We had to squeeze this picture in. There is a girl on her squad named Oakley :)

GOOD LUCK AF CHEER!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

An update on the Pregnancy..
I was planning on getting induced Saturday, the 27th or somewhere around that day.. but when I went to my Dr's Appt on Wednesday the 17th it all changed :(
First off my Doctor was delivering a baby, so I had the option to reschedule, wait for him to be finished delivering the baby, or to just see his partner. I drive all the way to Provo for my appointments so I def wanted to just get checked and see if I was dialted or anything, what was going on. So I decided to see his partner who I've never met and let him check my cervix! ugh. Awkward.. It was fine, whatever! He was really nice. BUT pretty sure I'm dialated to only a 1/2 centimeter. My cervix is NOT softened. She is head down, but hasn't even dropped!! He also told me that she's already about 7 1/2 pounds. (2 1/2 weeks till my due date) WOW. I have small babies ;) So pretty much... I left in tears. I was SOOOOOOOOOOO BUMMED! So I don't want to get induced if she hasn't even dropped. That would take FOREVER! My doctor is out of town this week, so I go back on Monday the 29th to see if I've progressed at all. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASEE say I have. I've been trying EVERYTHING. I don't care to go into labor necessarily, I just want to have some progress by the time I go on Monday so that he'll induce me next week. My birthday is on the 31st, I don't want to share my birthday really (I know, selfish) and I don't want an April Fools baby.. but WHATEVER! I'll take what I can get. ANY DAY-ANY TIME!! "I'm hangin by a thread" I'm SOOO ready! SOOOOO anxious! SOOooo uncomfortable!

St. Patricks Day

For St. Patricks Day I made green eggs, green kool-aid, and green pancakes. I took pictures of them, they looked SO GROSS! So I won't post the pics.. hahaha. But the boys LOVED them! Maybe I should make them green more often so they'll actually finish their breakfast.

I painted my fingernails green, but didn't want to take a picture of my hands right now being so pregnant and all.. ;) Oh and I ate like 27 bowls of Lucky Charms too. Mmmmm...
GUESS WHAT WE GOT TODAY?!?! Stadium of Fire tickets for Saturday, July 3rd and CARRIE UNDERWOOD is the main event. I've LOVED her ever since American Idol and I can't wait to go!! The 4th of July is my FAVORITE holiday. I love parades, bbq's, hot weather, swimming, red white and blue, fireworks, family.. etc.. and just to top it off.. Carrie freakin Underwood!! Yipeeeeeeeeeee!!

Thanks to Jayni's father-n-law we got the tickets before they even go on sale to the public this Friday
Jett has been BEGGING Enoch & I to go swimming. So we FINALLY decided to take him. Of course I wasn't about to get in a swim suit.. so I watched them swim at the Lehi Legacy Center.. This is how Jett was pretty much the whole time.. hahahahha I'm WSI certified and def need to teach them how to swim!! Anyone that knows me.. knows that I LOVE to go to the pool in the summer.. we'll see how this summer goes with 3 kids.. hahaha I'll be a NERVOUS WRECK!

My really good friend's Amanda & Hayley threw me a baby shower!! They seriously had it lookin SO DANG CUTE! I got a lot of CUTE STUFF for my baby girl.. I could NOT be MORE GRATEFUL! Thank you SO MUCH for EVERYTHING and to everyone that came!
