He's HERE!!

Cohen Todd Kitchen
was born Saturday, June 20, 2009 at 9:05 am in Orem, Utah. He just couldn't wait to come play with us so he decided to come exactly a month early. He weighed 5 lbs. 10 oz. and was 18 in. long. He flew out with a full head of hair. (literally flew out....the Dr. had to jump back in his chair to catch him) The delivery was amazing...my dream delivery if there is such a thing. I woke up sat. morning at about 2:30 am feeling a little different but not know for sure if I was in labor. I watched the clock to find out my contractions were exactly 7 mins apart. I started getting so giddy and excited I couldn't stand it! I woke Brock up and in no time the contractions were 4 and 5 mins apart, or in other words I was movin' fast! We then sat for a few mins not really knowing what to do, so we decided we'd better get our bags packed. We were taking our time at first, having fun and getting so excited, but then I kept reminding brock "ok, now we need to hurry!" I had no idea how far into labor I was, when we got to the hospital I was mentally prepared for them to send me back home. Little did I know, they checked me and I was dilated to an 8! They hurried me to my room, gave me an epidural when I was at a 9, and a few pushes he was out! Such an amazing experience, and I loved every minute of it.
Cohen is the sweetest, most beautiful little boy I know and we can't keep our eyes off him!

On the verge of cracking a cute smile for the cam...

Dr. Weibell....one of the greatest men I know.

Victory....I made it!

This is one of my favs....Love the finger in the mouth.

The 'bink' is almost the size of his tiny head.

He was looking right at the camera for us.

Here are my sweet boys snuggling.

This is what Brock and I do in our free time now.

Mr. GQ already knows how to work it for the camera.

We LOVE this baby boy more than we ever thought was possible, and are VERY proud to be his parents.

*Baby Shower in St. George*

Baby showers are awesome! Though I have to admit, I felt so guilty and a little overwhelmed cause we got HOOKED UP!! Big time. Thanks to all my amazing family and friends who came to support baby Cohen. Oh, it was just great. I was just happy to see everyone from my beautiful home town. I miss seeing people I know.... THANK YOU to my cutest sister in law EMILY for making the shower darling, with her cute games and decorations. THANK YOU to my sweet mama and mother in law for hosting and all that you did to make this happen. I am one lucky girl, and baby Cohen is one lucky little boy!

cute diaper cakes and advice box--thanks em!

 oh we're cute! {minus my chubby face}

Em is due in Dec. with her 2nd babe.

My girls from high school! So fun to all be together again.

I'm the fat one in the middle....ha.

We couldn't stop talking....high school reunion.

My darling husband with all his diaper changing gear on.

That was his gift from the shower, and knowing him I'm

sure he'll use it a time or two. Love him!

Ready or Not....

Here comes Baby Kitch! We are getting so excited we can't stand it. We finally got our car seat and stroller (gift from mom and dad Mathews, THANKS!) and we also were given a brand new, darling bassinet from our sweet sister-in-law Brit (thanks a million Brit! Baby Kitch can't wait to sleep in it). So I thought I would post a few pics to show them off cause I am so in love with them...

Oh and.... we have been really liking the name COHEN. Cohen Kitchen has a nice ring to it... We're testing it out. Every time we talk about him we call him Cohen and it seems to fit so far! I guess we'll see when he comes out. *Hurry up and get here already Cohen! I'm not sure if I can wait 38 more days.... 

I'm so excited!

2 YEARS....Happy Anniversary!

I can't believe it's been 2 years! Time keeps flying by faster and faster. We got married June 9, 2007, but this year we celebrated a few days early. This year our anniversary is on Tuesday and we actually have a birthday class on that day, which I think is pretty funny. So we decided to celebrate on the weekend! Brock got off work early and it was my day off so we were able to spend all sorts of time together! That night we went to dinner at my all time favorite, Cafe Rio. Can't get enough of it and I have craved it all day long my whole pregnancy. My pork salad tasted extra good, probably cause we were celebrating. :) We then went and saw the 3D movie "UP". Very cute show, and so sweet to see it in 3D. What a fun night we had!!

pork burrito and tres leches dessert

pork salad.....OH YUM!

finished the whole thing.....oh course.

Happy Anniversary Sweetie! What an amazing two years we have had together. I wouldn't change a thing about it, even the hard times. They have only made us stronger and closer together. We have so much fun together and what can I say...we make a dang good team. Everything is better when we're together. You make me one happy woman, and I can't wait for you to be the best daddy ever! You still make me laugh everyday and I thank you for that. Thanks for being by my side always. I LOVE YOU. FOREVER.
