Introducing Beck

After months of not knowing what I was carrying around in my womb, we finally got to meet our baby boy! Beck Monroe Terry was born Aug 11th, 2009 at 6:13am. He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz, was 20 inches long and had a full head of hair. He was delivered at Timpanogos Hospital in Orem.

And here's how it all went down....Monday night around 2am I started having some good contractions so I awakened Jake and told him if he wanted to shower before we left, now was the time. He gave his mom the wake up call and she headed over while we packed a bag. We got out the door around 3am and made it half a mile up the road before we realized we left our bag with camera and all sitting on the front porch. So we flipped around, grabbed the bag and were back on our way. By this point my contractions were pretty strong. I rode in the fetal position most of the way to the hospital. When we arrived it was 3:30am. After checking me out, they admitted us and sent us to our room to wait for an epidural. It took an eternity! I finally got one at 5:40am after I was fully dilated and ready to push.
The Doctor showed up at 6am, put on his gloves and took a seat. Thirteen minutes and 6 pushes later, out came our little boy. It was awesome not knowing the gender up until then. Needless to say we were thrilled! We hadn't fully decided on a name yet so he was Baby Boy Terry until the following day.
We're all home now and doing great. Beck is such a sweetie and the perfect addition to the family! And on a side note, I'm excited that I can actually see my toes again :)

7 Years

It's been 7 fabulous years since we tied the knot. I'm constantly amazed at what a great partner, father, and friend Jake is. I couldn't have found a better match. Here's to plenty more. Love you babe!
