Sneak Peak!

Here is a little sneak peak of what 

Addie wore for her party!

I finished it... and lived to tell the story!

I must get some sleep now :)

Ultrasound Picture!!!

I thought since I have been lacking

in the updating department.

I would be kind and show a pic

of our littlest member of

the family!

I had my second doctor's 

appointment yesterday!

All went well. The doctor said

everything looks good with

baby and mom!

So surgery was scheduled for

next week.

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

I am nervous, but trying

to hand it over to the Lord!

It is hard knowing the risks involved

with surgery.

But the benefits out way the risks!

So I have been trying to get a lot

 of things crossed off of my list

before I go into the OR because

I will be bed ridden for 1-2 weeks

after surgery... BOOOOO!!!

This weekend we are

having Addie's 4th Birthday

celebration!

We are doing it at Pizza Hut.

I would need to be admitted if

it were at my home! It is a disaster

and has been since Christmas :(

I just can't do it all!

The theme Strawberry Shortcake!

I am in the middle of making a

crazy cute skirt for little miss thing!

Lots of polka dots and lots of ruffles!

I will show you a pic when it is complete!

That's all for now!

Preggo Update!

Hi all...

I wanted to post on Tuesday

but

didn't get home until

almost 9pm...

I was gone from

11am - 9pm

LOOOOONG Day!
and 
yesterday was equally
as long and I had NO
energy!

Anyways,

I had my doctors appointment.

Everything looked

good.

I got to have an ultrasound :)

The baby was waving it's

limbs around and

had a heartbeat of

171 :)

For those of you wanting

to know the nitty gritty

my cervix is looking good too:)

I had a small contraction 

during my ultrasound,

which I couldn't feel,

but the tech could pick it

up on the monitor!


I was at my appointment 
for 4 hours
like I said it was a long
day!!!


I go back next Thursday
and get my
surgery scheduled!
Not looking forwar
to that!

Oh and I talked to my
sister last night and
they decided to wait
to get married until 2011.

It seems like an extra long
time to wait, but they talked
it over and decided it best 
for everyone!!!
I am so happy I will be able to
go and not be pregnant and
be able to participate:)

My Baby is the size of a Fig

Why is it so dang hard to

grow a person?

I am emotionally,

mentally &

physically

TIRED!

I can't get out of my funk.

I am still in my first trimester...

quickly approaching my second!

Hoping that my energy comes

back even a little!

My contractions have been

better! Thank goodness.

There is nothing they can do

in the 1st trimester anyways.

 I've been doing A LOT of

 laying on the couch already.

Crosswords have been my 

friend and my enemy :)

I like the easy version!

We have been watching a ton

of movies! I mean a ton!!!

A week ago today, my sister

moved in with us.

It has been an adjustment

for all of us and I'm sure it

will continue to be for awhile.

At least until we are all in a groove

of what our responsibilities will be!

It's hard to hand over your

home and children to someone

else why you lay on the couch.

Thankfully it is my sister and

I fully trust her and am 

completely comfortable with her!

My poor husband now has

4 girls to compete with in the house :)

Someone said he should get a dog!

I think a new baby is change enough.

He thinks so too...

maybe we will have a boy

to add some testosterone to the mix.

We will see in a few more weeks :)

I have a doctors appointment 

tomorrow afternoon.

I'm sure I will be getting a ton of

info for the coming months!

I'll hopefully update you

tomorrow or Wednesday!

Contractions!

Welp...

It started last night.

Can't believe how early this

time around!

Although, maybe I had them

with every pregnancy, but

didn't know what they

felt like til last pregnancy.

Had them all the time with Addie.

I just did too much...

giving those girls a bath can

be a brutal task.

Guess I won't be doing that

for the next 6 months!

Okay, going to go lay on

the couch and watch

Little Einsteins with

the kids!

RE-Opened!

Okay girlies...

The shop is now open!

I was a little hesitant. I got to used

to the whole Christmas break thing.

It was nice to not have any

responsibilities for Etsy or

photography.

Now back to reality!

I am currently trying to CLEAN out the shop.

4 Years Old and Pneumonia!!!

Four years ago today I was in the OR getting ready to meet

my spunky little girl! Oh how our lives would change!

This a picture of Addie only a few hours old...

Little did I know how wild and crazy this child would

become!? or How many walls, chairs, blankets, floors,

tables, TV's would be colored on?!

I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!

Here you are just a few weeks ago... getting ready for dance class.

Little did I know for your recital you would dance

beautifully, following directions like a champ,

until about mid-way through you decided you

needed a rest and laid down in the middle of the floor

for about 10 minutes! Yep, the other girls danced over you.

This is Addie, spontaneous and crazy... but we love you, every bit of you!

You are so spontaneous and fun that this morning you

were woken from your peaceful slumber only to have to

take your sister to the ER.

(Alaina had a temp of 105.2˚ F)

You were so cheerful and excited it was your birthday.

You joyfully announced to every nurse, doctor and security guard

that it was your birthday today and you are 4 now!

It was probably the best birthday breakfast known to man,

because the nurse gave you two popsicles and a sucker!

Followed by a coloring book and some crayons...

you were in heaven!

You also got to watch the Disney channel all morning,

which is extra special, because we don't have cable

or dish... just good ol' rabbit ears :)

I'm so happy you are only turning 4 and can't

remember any of your other birthdays

so no complaining from you! You are just happy to

be around and riding the coat tails of your sisters

illness watching cartoons all day :)

Now I am praying that no one else gets sick...

especially me! I am just now getting

over the all day pregnancy sickness,

not to mention that I have been battling

this cold/sinus thing since

Thanksgiving.

We've had

enough sickness around

these here parts to last a lifetime!

Oh and just an update...

previously I said we would not

be getting any flu shots.

Well that has changed when the doctor

called us and recommended Alaina

to get the H1N1 because of her history.

Plus, now that I am pregnant I am

waiting to hear what my OB says on the 19th.

Not that you really care, but I didn't want you

to think we didn't and then we did!

Oh and a big P.S. my sister is coming

to live with us next week. She is going to be our

nanny. To help me with the kids and make sure

I lay low and to help Jeremy out!

Can't wait, should be nice :)
