Oh how I wish!!!

Isn't it funny when you get older how your wants change! I remember not long ago all I wanted was clothes, shoes, and the next hot phone! Now that I'm a mom and a wife; my wants have changed. This dyson is my next toy I want! I can not wait for it looks AMAZING!!! It would be perfect for our new place with all the hard wood floor and rugs!!! COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL I CAN GET THIS!!!

The Healer

I found this video on a friends blog! It made me start thinking about how this time last year we were having problems with the pregnancy! I remember how scared Cory and I both were about what might happen but, the peaceful feeling I got the night I had the blessing. I knew that everything was going to be ok and that are little one was a fighter and that he was going to make it!! Thanks Kristen for posting this! I really needed it! I hope you guys enjoy it!!!

Love,

The Merrills!!!

Oh How I miss it!

So this afternoon I found a channel that showed College Gymnastics!! Can I tell you how excited i was to see this? Anyone who knows me knows how much I love this sport! When I was younger my gymnastics teacher Jenny would take me to watch the UofU compete. It was the funniest thing ever! I use to dream of being on their gymnastics team! Oh how I still love to watch it! Maybe one day I will be able to talk Cory into taking to watch them again! I've already tried to convince him that this was the sport for Devyn. He didn't agree so much!! So one day if I ever have another little one and its a girl! I already got her future planned! We will see how that goes!!!

Love,

The Merrills

Christmas now is better then never!!!

I know its kinda late for Christmas pictures but I figured now is better then never! We went to my mom's for Christmas and it was a blast to see everyone!

Christmas eve we had a family party and Jessica (my cousin) came with her little girl! Who is only 2 weeks or so younger then Devyn! It was fun to see her and she is a doll!
Chrismas morning i didn't get alot of pictures because of all the excitment. Devyn made it fun to have Christmas this year even though he had no idea what was going on. He was very spoiled!

Some Randomness

I foud these way cute pics of Devyn and some of his cute cousins

Baby Devyn Duane Merrill

I was waiting to do this post because I don't have any of the pictures from the hospital.. Me being so smart forgot to charge my camera so my mom has all of them.

When we found out we were expecting; we were very nervous. We didn't plan on having kids tell

for a few years,but apparently some though he needed to come now. We couldn't be happier. We had

a little scare after we found out. I started bleeding and we spent a good four hours in the ER. I had blood

sitting under the baby wasn't hurting him just had it there and they weren't sure why. So I was put on bed

rest for about three months. Which was really hard for me; I hate not being able to do stuff. I was able to go

to work which helped out a lot except that I was throwing up all day long. My co-workers were amazing

and helped me with whatever I needed. We felt like the due date was never going to come; with two weeks left

they told me my due date was switched from the Sept 26 to Sept 20. I was so excited and ready to be done.

So the 20th came and went and the Sept 26th came and went. Besides my date being changed I wasn't even

dilated or aphazied at all. Can we say STRESSFUL?? Finally they decided to start me.EXCITED!!!

I went in on the Sept 27th; Cory's mom took me since Cory was working cause they weren't starting me tell

after 5. She was so awesome to come and sit with me for 4 hours. We just sat and talked the whole time. My mom

was on her way with Karrie and my dad. Finally they but the cervidal in and I had to have that in for 12 hours before

they could start the potasin. Tell you what 6:30 couldn't come fast enough. I was only at a 2 1/2. I thought I

had felt pain NOT EVEN CLOSE! I wanted to be a four so I could have that dang epidural. After that it only took about

a hour tell and I was at a 6 and they broke my water. Then half and hour later I was at a eight; that was at 12:30.

They had me start pushing at 1 and he was born at 1:17.

Devyn Duane was born on Sept. 28 2010 7.5lbs 19 1/2' long. We couldn't be more excited to have this little addition to our family. He is such a joy.
