Introducing...
Donovan and I are proud to announce the arrival of Dexten Randy Norman!!!
Dexten weighted 6 lbs 13 oz, 20 inches long, and was born at 10:22am on Feb. 8, 2010 which was 16 days early.
MY LABOR STORY-- (They may be boring to some but i am just writing it down so I can remember)
I went into labor just after 11pm on Sunday after the Superbowl. I had contractions all night but they were not consistence so i didn't think I was in labor. About 4am they started to get strong but still not consistence so I just waited. When Donovan got up at 5am to go to work we decided to call the hospital and see what they thought. They told me to come in and get check out. At this point I was crying and didn't want to go to the hospital because I was scared I was in labor and my doctor was out of town for the week which meant if the other VBAC doctor (Dr. Cox) was not on call I would have to have a C-Section again and I didn't want it. We got to the hospital at 6am and they hooked my up to monitors and check to see if I was dilated. The nurse said I was in true labor and I was about 4 to 5 cm. She saw my doctor was Dr. Jones and he was out of town and they on call doctor was Dr. Dyer. She know i didn't want a c-section so she called Dr. Cox but he was also out of town. She talked to Dr. Dyer and talked him into letting me do a VBAC which he never allows. When he came in and check my to see for sure if I would be able to handle a VBAC he said I was a 7 to 8cm. So, they moved me to a labor and delivery room and started my IV and penicillin. After the lab came in, which was like 5 minutes, they called for my epidural which I got about 8am. They waited until the penicillin was almost in before they broke my water at 9cm. About 9:30am I started to feel a lot of pressure and the pain from contraction so they check me about. I was ready to start pushing at 9:45am. At 10:22am, Dexten was born. I was so happy that he was born and that Dr. Dyer let me do a VBAC. Everything went great and we were home the next day.

A couple of weeks ago we found out that we are going to have another BOY!!! We so so excited (Donovan is extremely excited). The baby is healthy and is measuring right on with my due date. With Teagan, they kept changing my due date cause he was measuring small so I think this baby will be bigger then Teagan. As soon as i can get the ultra sound pics on our computer, I will post some.

3 1/2 Months Worth of Updates!!!
Our New House!!!
On May 1, we moved into our new house. I love it. It was mostly update but there is still alot of updates that I want to do. But our new address is 824 Filmore Ave, Pocatello, ID 83201!!!
Teagan Turns the Big 1!!!
For Teagan's birthday we had a double birthday party with his cousin Dillion. We had a water party in our back yard. Teagan didn't care for anything that day but enjoyed playing with his cousins.
4th of July
For the 4th of July we went to the parade and then out to American Falls to go boating with my parents. We later had a bbq at our house and watched it rain and flood some of Pocatello. That night Donovan's parents came over and we watch the firework from the school and then lit some off of our own afterwards. Teagan enjoyed the fireworks alot. I think he liked the bright colors.
Family Reunions!!!
This year we have had a lot of family reunion. The first one was in Hyrum State Park for the Andrew/Ross Reunion!! That was a fun reunion. And the last night, they do skits and I got to see my father in law wear a tutu!! I was so mad cause I forgot my camra. He was pretending to be a maid like one of my old employee did. He used the line from "Tommy Boy."
The next reunion was the Gravatt's reunion up at my Uncle Eric's cabin in Island Park. Teagan had a blast playing in the dirt and hanging out with a banch of kids. We even got him to float the river which I was so nervous about due to the fact he is scared of the water.
Off to Bear Lake for the Norman Reunion. The first day we got there it was so windy that sand was just getting in people's eyes so we decided to go into town for the rasberry day's. That was a lot of fun. There was games, food, and different little booths to pay things. The next day, was so much nicer. Teagan was able to play in the sand. We got to go on a boat ride and Donovan and I rode on the tube for awhile. Later, Donovan went water skiing. Teagan slept through both boat rides.
Scout Mountain was the next reunion for just the Randy Norman family. That was a fun/cold reunion. The first night we went to set up our tent and found out we were missing a pole so we had to run quickly to Walmart to buy a new tent. We had to set the tent up in the dark which wasn't that fun. That night it rained all night. In the morning when we woke up, it was still raining and cold. To get out of the rain we went to Outer Limits. Everyone had a blast. All the tickets we got, we gave to Randy since it was his birthday. He was so excited to pick out prizes. When we got back up the mountain, it was sunny and much warmer. On Sunday, we just sat around playing games and the kids got to do some crafts which they love to do.
Our Newest Addition
On August 6, we got a Germany Short Hair Pointer. It later ran away that night. The next morning, I had all the Country Coach drivers and one of my brother's driver looking for the dog. When the pound opened, Donovan called and found out that someone on Meadowbrook. We were so excited we found him. His name is Ruger!! Since we got him, we have gone on walks almost everyday and Donovan and Teagan plays with him at night.
BABY NORMAN #2
We are excited to announce that we are expecting a baby on February 24. We are so excited for the new addition and Teagan can wait either. So far this pregnancy has been going really good. I really don't have morning sickness which is so nice. I have been trying to teach Teagan that there is a belly in my stomach and every time he just says "Belly Button."
Teagan
He is some just random pictures of Teagan. He is growing up so big and so fast. He has been walking since he was 11 months and he recently learned how to run and climb. He also is starting to learn new words and like to just talk, talk, talk when he is in the mood.

Brad's homecoming, Easter, & Jazz game
Well I noticed on one of my friends blog it has been 2 months since I updated our blog. On March 23, Donovan turned 24!!! Also on that day Brad (my brother) came home from his mission in Seattle.
We spent most of Easter weekend in Utah at Donovan sister's house. I first want to let my cousin Rochelle know that I am so happy for you on getting married. You and Isaac are so cute together. Good luck and sorry once again we didn't make it to your reception Friday night. On Saturday morning, they had an easter egg hunt for the kids. Teagan didn't really know what was going on but he had fun being outside.
That evening, Donovan and I went to the Jazz game with all the Gravatt's. Thanks to my grandparents who bought everyone tickets. The Jazz played Golden State. We went early to see if we could get any pictures of the players close up. There was only one Jazz player.
On Easter Sunday, we went to my parents old ward to here my brother speak. He did a great job!!!
On April 30, we will be closing on house!!! I am so excited to buy a house so Teagan has somewhere to play outside and I can plant a garden (even though I don't reason know how but it can't be that hard). When we get into the house I will post some pictures.

Teagan 9 Months Check-up
Today I took Teagan to his 9 month check up. At this appointment he only had to get one shot which he handle really well. He only cried when he heard the shot click at the end. His weight was 20 lbs 15 oz. To me, I think he weights much more than that. He is 28 inches long. He is get big. In the picture above, if you look really close you can see his two front teeth. This is Teagan's favorite toy (the banana chair). He climbs on it all the time.

Much needed update!!!
So Donovan started this blog right after Teagan was born but hasn't done anything to it since. So I decided to figure out how to do this blog thing so people can stay updated. Right now, Donovan is laid off so he is staying at home with Teagan while I work full time at Country Coach. Some days when I am short driver he will come and help me. When he does that, Teagan comes and hangs out. Everyone at my work is so good with Teagan. Some of my drivers treat Teagan as if he was their kid.
Teagan at 6 months!!! He as playing with this toy when I left the room for a minute. When I returned I found him like this!!! He was so peaceful sleeping there that I just left him there until he woke up.
Teagan is growing everyday. The past two weeks he has had a double ear infection. But other than that he is a happy boy. He got his two front teeth in around Christmas Day. He learned how to crawl on January 15. He is now pulling him self up and standing next to the couch or whatever else he can stand by. He also likes to walk around holding onto your fingers. He is growing up so fast.
This is Teagan's first picture!!! He was 6 lbs 9 oz. 20 in.
