Baby Hair

Well obviously nobody was expecting Chaela to come as early as she did. The earliest date we had on here was the 8th. And it looked liked the majority of the votes were for the 12th. Anyway for Caitlyn's first baby all the nurses and doctors were really surprised on how fast the baby came. We went to the hospital at 4am on Wednesday 11/07/07. And at 12:48 the blue alien showed up. And then after she was cleaned off and blood started flowing we realized it was Chaela. She slept all the way through the first night and is still sleeping a lot still. She's a great baby...well this is my first one, but from what I've seen and been told about other babies anyway she is amazing! She weighs 7 Lbs 10 Ounces, and is 20 inches long. She has a check up tomorrow because she's on the verge of having jaundice. Being a dad is the best thing ever! The feeling is indescribable. I love it! I'm pretty sure Chaela has gotten a lot more sleep than I have, but it's worth it. It's just awesome! Caitlyn is doing well. I'll let her write more later. Anyway the little one came home this morning at about 9am. It's funny how something this small can have me wrapped around her finger.

I Have "Finished the Fight"

Well as Bungie puts it...Finish the Fight. The catch line from Halo 3. And I have now unlocked all the skulls, awards, and armor that you can in Halo 3. Amazing! So this shot to the right is a picture from actual gameplay. They have improved the graphics by quite a lot I'd say. My free month of xbox live has run out. I achieved the last award right before my free month expired. Close call. And now I have another free month with Caitlyn's profile now. New email address equals one free month of xbox live. Yay! So yeah. Hey Jason on your profile I've unlocked the Hayabusa Armor and a few other helmets for ya. Hey if anyone wants different armor let me know and I'll get it for you. I'm taking requests. So anywho I had Tucanos yesterday. It was a company dinner. I love free meals! They didn't allow any family to come though so that was kinda lame. Anyway the end of this week is Caitlyn's due date. So we're all in anticipation and taking predictions for when Chaela will come. The due date is this Saturday November 10th. The winner gets to change Chaela's diapers over Christmas. :) Anywho this is my new armor. It's a little bit of everything. The katana on my back is the armor you unlock for getting all 1000 Gamer Points in Halo 3. Well that's the way the cookie crumbles.

One week!

So I'm due a week from today, and today is almost over, so that's like 6 days. Crazy! I have 2 tests and a 10-page paper due this week, too. Lovely. But I've finished the test that's due Monday (they're both take-home) and I've got a decent start on the paper, which is due Tuesday. I'm going to finish it tomorrow hopefully, and I'll finish the other test Monday or Wednesday, so I'll be ready to go as soon as I'm done with all that! School-wise anyway.

Our house is a huge mess right now, and my mom is getting here on Thursday, so we need to get it cleaned up so she doesn't know how messy we really are. I've done a good job deceiving her so far, because last time she was here in the beginning of September it was really clean. Haha!

So I really want to get everything done and I want my mom to be here, but I also want this child out at soon as possible. At this point I just don't want to go 2 weeks late. That would suck. I'm hoping for the 15th at the absolute latest. I'll get the doctor to induce me that day because the next day she'd be able to do it would be the 19th, which is 3 days before Thanksgiving, and my family is coming here (plus I think the Dr's office is closed all week or something, I want to work for them!). Why can't babies come out when you want them to?!?!?!

995...What a good year!

So of course this post is about Halo. What else would it be about? Anyway I now have 995 points out of 1000 points for Halo 3.
P.S. BYU is nuts! Sorry random I was just reading the police Beat. No kidding this was one of the posts: Oct 27: A male individual was reported yelling in th Eyring Science Center. When the officers arrived, they discovered he was actually singing along to music playing on his iPod. And 2 days later...Oct 29: A 19-year-old male was reported viewing inappropriate material on the Interent in the Harold B. Lee Library. An individual who saw him viewing this material turned him in to library security personnel. They interviewed him and banned him from the library. He apologized, saying he realized what he did was wrong and he will never do it again. Oh okay at least he "won't do it again." I thought that was pretty funny.
So anyway as far as work goes I'm ready to quit. In fact I'm applying for the Utah State Hospital (It's a Mental Hospital. It's kinda scary that we lived this close to an insane asylum) which is walking distance from our house. It's a cut in pay, but it'll save on gas and it has state insurance benefits and they only take $10 out of my paycheck. So if I can get that job then It'll actually be the same amount of money considering well save on gas and $250 on insurance. YAY! Okay so this wasn't about Halo, but here's a picture for all you Halo fans.

Happy Halloween!

Hey everyone! Not much new here, just wanted to say Happy Halloween! Will and I aren't doing anything tonight, just hanging out and waiting to see if we have any Trick-or-Treaters. We have some kids in our apt complex, but our primary is doing something at the church, so we'll see. In the meantime, we've been eating a lot of the candy ourselves...

In baby news: she's not here. Sad. One of my friends had 2 separate dreams that I'd go into labor today, but alas, it seems she is not a real fortuneteller. Dang it! When I went to the doctor on Monday, I was 1 cm dialated (out of 10, for all of you not-knowing people), which is better than no cm, but not that great. I guess that's ok, because I'm due next Saturday. It seemed to me like the doctor thinks I'll be just about on time. Good for my mom, who's coming the 8th, but I am SO ready to get this kid out.

Ridiculous!

Did you know there's nothing on TV at 6:30 in the morning? There is not. Now you know.

Unfortunately for me, I have been awake since Will left for work at 5:30. At first I stayed in bed and prayed that I would fall back asleep. After about a half an hour of that I gave up and called my mom, because it was 8:00 her time, and I knew she'd be awake because she's a mom, and they get up crazy early. I'm beginning to understand why. At least if I were actually a mom I'd have a baby to entertain me! Sigh.

So now here I sit. It's almost 7 and the only thing on is the news. They just showed some Hawaiian women doing a hula. That was cool. I'd rather be sleeping. Even worse is that I didn't fall asleep until after midnight. Frustrating, since I climbed into bed at 10! I guess I should be grateful that I haven't had trouble sleeping until now, when I only have 2 weeks and 2 days left until my due date. Not that I'm counting.

This whole pregnancy thing is extremely uncomfortable. I don't like to go to class most days of the week because I can't walk across campus anymore without extreme pain because apparently this child is laying on my sciatic nerve. It's the huge nerve that starts in your back and runs down your leg. Ouch. Her most active time of day is 11pm-midnight, right when I would be able to fall asleep if she weren't kicking me as hard as possible in various internal organs. Pregnancy is a blessing. In disguise. Sorry to complain everyone! I'm sure after she's born I'll have an easier time recognizing it, but at 7am on a Thursday when I'm about to spend 8 hours on campus, chances of that are bleak.

But don't think I'm too down everyone, because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Woohoo!

Halo 3!!!

Yes it's a Halo 3 update! Well I have found all the silver and gold skulls and now have unlocked some sweet armor. The Hayabusa Armor! So I have all but one armor unlocked now. The Security armor. So anyway Chris Oakeson came over the other night and we all played some Halo. I was up sniping him when he came behind me and I fell off my sniping spot so I found my friend Mr. rocket launcher and took care of the problem. One of my favorite game modes is called Infection. Where one team are humans and the other are zombies. The zombies are almost as fast as an ATV. So it makes fun for running away. Well anywho it's fun! Even though Caitlyn won't admit it some of the time she enjoys it as well. Here's proof...and Caitlyn is the one with the shotgun.

Yay! A Whole Year!

Today is our first anniversary woo hoo! We did most of the celebrating yesterday because today is Sunday. Will already posted about all that, though. We bought our pumpkins yesterday yay! Will says he's only carved pumpkins once or twice in his life. Can you believe it?!?! We're big pumpkin carvers in my family. I'm so excited! Also we got a tiny little mini pumpkin and wrote "Baby Chaela" on it and we're going to stick it inside my pumpkin, haha! It's ok, I already know I'm crazy.

Anyways, this past year has been great! I love being married to Will and I'm so excited to be starting our family this year, even if it is sooner than we planned. He's so great! I can't believe it's less than 3 weeks until my due date! Yay!!! Can't wait to see all of you guys again and I'll have a baby! Weird.

Also right now we're watching "The Princess Bride." Mawwige... mawwige is what bwings us togeva today...

One Year Anniversary!!!

Wow! Yes I'm posting two in a row! Well it's October 21st. Caitlyn and I have been married for one year now! Yay! Happy Anniversary! We went to Sizzler last night! MMMMM! Love it! And then we went to Chuck and Larry. It was a good night. Today we're carving pumpkins and roasting a chicken for dinner. Mmmm!

Fine I'll do it

Alas, I have come to write in what the world calls a blog. A bog you say? No no a blog! Oh a blog, I think they should make that into a rap song. It would be in the top ten on MTV I'm sure of it. What's going on in my life? Mainly working and playing is the life at the present. I have finished my 40 hours of training in the control room at work and so now I can start covering shifts in there for an extra $2.50 more an hour. Yay! But that'll be mainly on my days off. So actually it would be overtime, blah blah blah boring, next topic. I've been enjoying my xbox 360 for the sole reason of Halo 3. I traded my Wii for a 360 and I'm loving it! For all those who are Halo fans let me just say Halo 3 lived up to the hype and more!!!! Love it!!! Well here's my post. This was for you Jason and Caitlyn. Much Love!!!!
