Makayla Noelle Osborne

Makayla Noelle Osborne


She's finally here! Makayla Noelle Osborne was born Monday, Dec 7th at 2:45 p.m. She weighed 8 lbs and 5 oz, and 20 1/2 inches long.

We love her so much and are so happy for her to be in our lives.

Labor and delivery turned out a lot better than expected. Monday morning around 8 am, I started having some contractions that started out 5 minutes apart. I had been having a lot of braxton hicks contractions for the last couple months, so I figured that the contractions were nothing. The braxton hicks contractions usually don't last so long, but the contractions I were having weren't going away and were getting stronger and stronger. So that's when I called Cory to tell him my status. I felt so bad because it was the Monday of finals week and he was just about to go into his first final. I don't know what it is about our girls...Miley was also born in the Monday of finals week!
I called the doctor to see what we should do, and said that we should go ahead to the hospital. But by the time Cory got home my contractions were pretty much gone! So I called the doctor again to tell him the contractions were basically gone. But he still wanted me to come in to see. I felt so dumb being there, I really felt that we were going to be send back home....but to our surprise I was dilated to 5-6 cm! Our doctor was going to coming within the hour to break my water! It seamed so surreal, I couldn't be having a baby today! So the doctor came, broke my water, and left....but he wasn't gone very long! Makayla came 55 minutes later! She may have come sooner, but we had to wait for our doctor. I got very lucky this time and didn't even tear! Recovery has been so nice. Makayla had a few bruises on her face and one big one on top of her head from coming so quickly....other than that she is perfect!!! She looks exactly like Miley, they really are going to be asked if there twins there whole life!

Here is our pride and joy....

ONE SMALL STEP FOR MILEY...

ONE SMALL STEP FOR MILEY...

Finally after fourteen months Miley is a walking fool. Okay, so not really but to us it seems that way! We've been waiting for this day for so long, and it's just in time for the next baby to come. Were so proud of Miley!!

Cory video taped this himself, so it's all over the place...but at least you get the picture. And this was taken before bedtime, so she's a little grumpy.

P.S. On a side note, baby Makayla (that's the name we've decided) should apartently come early....but that's what I was told with Miley at this time. I'm all ready dialated to a 2, same as with Miley. We'll just plan for the baby coming on her due date (dec 22nd)...who knows though!

Halloween

So I know this post is really late, I totally forgot to up these pictures up here! Things have been really busy around here, I think everyone wants to get there hair done for Thanksgiving and in before I have the baby!

Sorry I didn't take a picture of either Cory's or my costume. They were both pretty pathetic. Cory wore a green shirt and green shorts and put a sign on him that said 'gone green.' He made that one up all by himself. I wore all black and safety pinned a black widow symbol on my belly...and I was a black widow. Ha ha, I know pretty lame!

Miley made a really cute Ladybug this year. She didn't care for the hood part, but at least we got a few pictures of her wearing it.

This video makes us laugh, she was trying so hard to chase this little boy, but the floor was just too slippery!

Growling and Barking

Lately Miley has been growling like a bear/lion all the time! We can't get her stop! It can be kinda embarrasing especially in the middle of sacrament meeting! She's also good at barking like a dog.

This weekend my friend Melissa took a few pictures of me pregnant. I wanted at least one good picture of me with this pregnancy, and I got a bunch! Thanks so much Melissa!

I've never been good at serious posed pictures, this one makes me laugh :)

Fall Days!

Half Moon Bay

About this time last year, we headed out to half moon bay with Cory's sister and his mom. We had fun walking around and taking some fun pictures with all the pumpkins. This was one our favorite pictures:

I know were so mean to leave her crying in the pumpkins, but we just thought it made for a really cute picture. (she was only 2 weeks old)


So we decided to make it a tradition (at least while where living here) to make it out to half moon bay to pick a pumpkin, and take some cute pictures.


It's not that we purposely made her cry, we really thought that this would of made a cute picture! She just got really scared when we left her alone. It did actually make for a cute picture, and now we have two really cute harvest pictures of Miley crying.

Here are a couple more pictures of our fun day!....minus the traffic! haha

Our smiley Miley!

Utah/Idaho

Utah and Idaho

We had such a busy 2 weeks! During Cory's break from school we drove the long 13 hour drive to Utah. The drive wasn't all that bad since we drove straight through the night, so Miley would sleep all the way through. While we were there we were able to visit lot of friends and family.

We were only in Utah for just a few days before we drove up to Rexburg, Idaho. Sadly, Cory's grandma passed away so we were able to attend her funeral. I never got to know Cory's grandma very well before she passed, but I was telling Cory after the service that I felt that I now know her better because of all the great stories shared about her life. She seamed like a wonderful woman, and I am so grateful that we decided to use her name as Miley's middle name. "Miley Kay"

The Osborne Family at the Cemetery.

Cory and I enjoyed being back in good ol' Rexburg. It brought back some great memories of when we were first dating and when we were newlyweds. We hadn't made it back there in about 2 years! I really wanted to see the Rexburg temple, since it was being built when we left. Unfortunately it was closed, but we were able to walk around the temple grounds to see it.

Rexburg Temple

After our weekend trip to Rexburg, Cory drove back home to California to get back to school on Monday. While I headed back to Utah with Miley for a week to see my family a little bit more.
During our week stay, my parents and I drove down to St. George for 2 days to see my Grandma Smith. My Grandma hadn't seen Miley yet, and I also haven't seen her in a long time as well.

Man, did we do a lot of driving in those short 2 weeks! Miley held up pretty good, so it made our road trips a lot easier!


Here are a few more picture of our trip!

Miley scoot'n around my parents house. She was a really good mop!



Miley and my parents dog lizzy. They were BEST friends during our stay, Miley would follow lizzy around the house all day!

We were able to drive up provo canyon and see the gorgeous fall colors. I think this year was the best, I was in awe with all the beauty!
