Wastlund Family

Hinckley Victoria Wastlund Born Thursday, September 26, 2012 2:09 a.m. 7 lbs 14 oz. 20 inches long I was induced a week early because Doctor Lunt was leaving town.  We waited all day long Wednesday  to be called to go in to labor and delivery, but kept getting pushed back further and further.  I was to the point of calling and saying forget it because I had not slept the entire night before in anticipation and was already very exhausted when Dr. Lunt called and asked me to come in.  I was finally admitted and started on the pitocin at 7:15 p.m..  I was dilated to a 3+ when I got there and Dr. Lunt about killed me trying to break my water (which apparently did not want to be broken) to get the contractions going. In 4 hours I only dilated another 1 cm. and I was getting very discouraged.  I have had all of my babies naturally and without an epidural and I did not want to ruin it on this last one. I was very emotional about not having my mother with me at the birth (although

If you have never been to the Church History Museum before, it is definitely a great place to go on temple square.  Fishing like Nephi  Building a tower  Planting a garden  Learning how to dance  Thanks Breckan for the awesome tip!

  The young women and their leaders threw me and Sis. Roth a double baby shower this last Tuesday night.  I felt right at home with these sweet girls, and miss them terribly.  They tied a baby quilt for me with all the Young Women values.  This baby will certainly be preparing early with 3 big sisters to look up to.  The young women each gave me gifts of service that I am looking forward to cashing in on. Anything from cleaning bathrooms to yard work, meals and babysitting.  I also left with some adorable outfits and enough pizza and pasta to freeze and feed my family for a week!  We played g uess your leaders baby picture!  And this disgusting game of smelling the diaper and  guessing the food. Thank you for the fun night!

 My kids look forward to Tuacahn every year.  I even got $15 tickets later in the season when the weather was a lot cooler. I am so happy they have been producing so many kid appropriate shows lately, we can't wait for Mary Poppins next year!

Since my last post about my mother, she has finally been diagnosed!  It is not a great diagnoses but we are thankful there is at least a plan now.  She has Stage 4 acute Leukemia, and is now being treated at the Huntsman Cancer Center in Salt Lake City.  She has begun her first round of Chemotherapy and has been fighting nauseousness and anxiety.  My dad is still by her side every day, although he was able to get an apartment provided to family of the patients near the hospital. My brother Jamen flew home from Afghanistan for a few weeks to spend some time with my mom.  We just don't know how the Chemo is going to work and she has progressed so quickly that he wanted to see her while she was still strong.  We had a family fast last Sunday on her behalf.  3 wards and various friends also joined us.  We pray that the lord will surround her with angels and lift her up during this trying time in her life.  We know she can make it with enough faith if it is the Lords will!

Grace chose macaroni and hot dogs and of course watermelon (her favorite) for her birthday dinner.  She was definitely spoiled by her family and friends!  She had the option to go anywhere she wanted in Saint George, and she chose Grandma and Grandpa Wastlund's pool. She loves the diving board.  Taylor also figured out that she is big enough for the diving board! Happy Birthday to our little sweetheart, we love your spunk and kind heart!
