Having a baby!

Yep, good old fat pictures of me at the hospital. I absolutely HATE those pictures right before and right after you have a baby, but oh well, i am over it!!! My doctor was my sister's best guy friend growing up. Everyone asked if that was weird, it was kind of, but i knew that he TRULY cared about me and my baby which was nice, and he did a great job!The labor was really fast . I only pushed for like 20 minutes which was awesome, but then we had complications afterward with blood clots and throwing up and all that fun stuff afterward. But like always it was a wonderful experience. For some reason, i LOVE having a baby. I love the labor and pushing part. Probably cause it is so rewarding and i feel like a tough mamma!!! =)It took us till the very last minute to name her which we decided....Samantha Ryan Ebeltoft

Matti learning to ride a bike

Last summer Ryan just decided to teach matti how to ride her bike without training wheels.It was successful!!! But the funny thing is after like the 2nd time trying she did the falling into a bush!!!! She got scratched up a little bit, but that didn't stop her. I am so proud of her! She loves it so much and still needs practice, but she is just getting so big. Love that girl!!

ONE of my goals this year......

One of my goals this year is to be better at blogging. I really suck at this stuff!!! Well, so my excuse was that i had like 600 pictures on my camera and it would reload all of them onto my computer and it would take forever. so i started cleaning my camera out and still need to finish, but no more excuses cause i want to start using this as kind a journal too.....so here it goes!!!

My trip to Sanfrancisco....and Jackie's wedding

One of my older brothers, Ryan and i flew together to go to Jackie's wedding. We flew in to see our other brother Jared and his wife that was due that week and stayed with them.We went out to eat that night, and then the next morning we drove to the wedding. It was so good to see the kids and jackie. I was 8 months pregnant and had about 5 or six weeks left. So during the wedding me being a sissy and prego, cried.....no BAWLED the whole freakin time!!! Luckily i was wearing sun glasses!!! It was really one of the hardest things i have ever had to do. Watch my sister in law marry someone else and watching those kids walk down the aisle towards a whole new life. I love them so much and pray for them all the time that they are happy and doing well. It was a hard and good experience at the same time. I am glad that i got to go. After the wedding ryan and i stayed the night with my folks in a hotel and then left the next morning to go back to jareds to stay a few more days. We ate out a lot, went to san fran, and then the night before we left katie went into labor and we stayed and watched ben for them so they could go to the hospital. It was really cool how that happened and we got to go see the new baby before we went to the airport. What a fun trip!!!!
