Play Date with Shorty & the Kiddos

Mommy & Taybugz

We had a blast. I looked forever for a place to take the kiddos to play, since it is just way to cold outside for the park right now.. So i found this place online called Rafiki's. We decided to get together and check it out. This place is so fun. The girls had so much fun! They have a deli inside and a lil coffee shop. Not only is it toddler friendly, and kid friendly... but its also for the parents, they have comfy couches in there where parents can relax and read a magazine or just visit, and at the same time can watch their children play. I love having a place to take Taylor where she isn't having to be told No all the time, she can run jump play and climb and everything is padded, and just great. We had so much fun. And I hope we get to go again. The most time i got to spend with Jennie. Just visiting and catching up with her was so fun. It reminds me of all the old times that we had together, and its such a bummer that we just don't make time for eachother any more.. and to make matters worse, they are movin across the country =(

Talon Deaver... looks just like mommy and daddy

What a lil studd

Taylor and Kirsten spent all their time on this lil slide... each one saying weeeeeeee as they go down, and getting totally stoked afterwards =)Playing blocks together, they are so good together.Snack and Drink time... Kirsten is laughing at mommy... apparently she is funnyTaybugz with her mouth full of juice. lol.

Back to Idaho!!

Even though i was only home for a week, it was so worth it. Im a lil tired of the trip back and forth every week.. but this will be the last time for awhile..hopefully. I miss my home, i just want to go home for a longer time. Like at least a month would be nice. Mom's Birthday was Tuesday, so Taylor got her a card, that she picked out herself, and some pink flowers, it was very sweet. Wednesday was my doctor's appointment, I couldn't wait to get some information finally, and we get our first ultrasound...

My appointment with Hughes was at 11:15am.. and they called me about an hour early, and asked me to switch to the first appointment of the day as they were runnin really really late. So we did a swop, and I jumped out of bed and through myself together, lucky I woke up to my mom sittin on the couch, so she was able to watch Taylor. So Jennie didn't have to race over to watch Taylor as that was the original plan. I actually made it there on time too... I weigh 126 lbs. And I am 12 weeks 4 days. Not to much to the ultrasound pictures.. but it was so good to see our baby!

Now the question is.. What are we having.. a Boy or a girl?? Everything is okay, and there is of course no explaination of the pain i feel every once in awhile in my side... but as long as the baby is fine, i can deal with it!! My next appointment is scheduled for February 23rd 2009. So I get to go home for at least 2 or 3 weeks!!... Woohoo... hey its longer than a week.

Good to be Home!!!

Home sweet Home... its so good to be here. You won't even believe this.. but we have been so back and forth from here to Idaho, that I haven't had any time to do anything around the house.. I probably have about a month of laundry to do, a house to clean, our christmas tree and decorations are still up, and I have boxes every where... Any one want to help me??... Well considering Im only here for a week, and i feel like Sh*te.. I don't really see myself gettin to much done! This baby is making mommy so sick... I hope this isn't goin to be like my first pregnancy.. I was sick for 7 months with Taylor, and I really didn't get out and do much!! So lets hope for this just to be in the beginning.

Bed Rest...

I can't even tell you how much fun being put on bed rest is. At least while Im grounded to my Mother's house, my aunt Deb is in town. We didn't get to see her much, but seeing her once in a great while is always great! Just the time goes so fast and we always wish she can stay longer. I wish i was at home... That was the plan, I was suppose to go home with Brian, and now i have to stay here another week, without a car, without a place to go, just chillin around the house unable to do anything!!...
just needed to vent a little. thanks for listening. You can bet im counting down the days til Brian comes back to get us... Which will be Friday!! And we will go home on Saturday!!!... thank goodness

Yep 10 weeks...ER scare

yep 10 weeks, due august 11, 2009... crazy. No i didn't go to the doctor.. i actually went to the emergency room. brian came last weekend to get us, and i raced around all morning sunday gettin things together, gettin ready to walk out the door.. and i got a horrible pain in my side.. i fell to the ground in tears, cuz i was cramping so bad on my left side.
mom watched taylor, and brian took me to the emergency room... i had 2 people ahead of me, and i was in alot of pain. We finally got in, i had no answers for anyone, i didn't know my last period, i had to explain the whole birth control thing, and then i had no idea how far along i was...
the doctor comes in... and gives us the biggest scare ever.. he was fair warning us what could be the problem, and what would need to be done. He said it sounded like a ectopic pregnancy and he asked me if i knew what that was.. and i did and immediately felt sick to my stomache... tried so hard not to cry, and he explained to brian what it was... and he said if that was the case then they would have to eliminate it, and if i was in my early weeks, we could do it by a pill, but if i was further along, it would have to be done by surgery. Im freakin out.. and thinkin OMG, im goin to lose my baby and im goin to have to go into surgery... i was a basket case... we were there for 5 or 6 hours, gettin lots of tests done, blood work, and then they took me in for a vaginal ultrasound, and we were in there for about 35 min... and nothin is being said, im layin there staring at the ceiling, and lookin at everyones faces.. trying to get some what of an idea what the heck was goin on...

finally i asked, and of course the lady doin the ultrasound, super nice, but explained to me, that she wasn't suppose to say anything, that the doctor will deliver the results.. so i asked do you know how far along i am.. she again said i can't tell you, but i will show you my numbers...
and she showed us the baby, from what i could tell the baby looked like it was in my uterus, so that made me feel a lil better but at the same time i didn't want to assume, and be told otherwise... we got to hear the baby's heartbeat... this was brians first time with all of that, but of course couldn't enjoy any of it, cuz we didn't know if everything was okay.

we get back to my room, doctor comes in, tells us everything looks good on paper, the baby is okay, he can't pinpoint the pain in my side, but ovaries and everything was good, and that the baby was indeed in the uterus.... however, he said your body is tellin you something, so we can't be quite sure, he said becuz everything looks okay on paper, doesn't mean that there isn't something wrong with the pregnancy, it might be too soon to tell. he referred me to hughes for an emergency room follow up, he wanted to compare my blood count from that day to my follow up... he said with being pregnant the numbers should double on a daily basis with horomone levels ... so if my numbers are up then everything is good, if my numbers are down, it means something is wrong.

I called lifestages on monday, told them everything that the doctor told me and the soonest i can get in is jan. 28th, and its right after they open... if anything happens in the mean time im suppose to go back to the emergency room.

so it was very scary, he put me on bed rest for the week, which feels more like house arrest, i have no car, and im stuck in this house... i begged brian to come get us this weekend, even if we will be home for a week, and have to come back... but you know how things go with my mom when im here for awhile.. and sunday i had alot of help from mom and coley... as for yesterday and the rest of the week... no.
im really annoyed, i still have the pain in my side, not as bad as it was that night i went in.... but i have a prescription for the pain, but pretty much im just stuck with it...

Im wondering, if it might have something to do with my rib... remember way back when i had that whole issue with my rib, and to this day i still can't lay on that side at times. the only thing is, there really is no way to tell without an xray, but i can't do that while pregnant, so i reallly don't know what to think..

well anyways, i wanted to clue you in on everything over the weekend. i really haven't done much since i've been here again... but as crazy as it will sound, i am leaving this weekend, goin home for a week, will be back next weekend and here for the week... and then i need to be here until feb 7th... kylas baby shower... then i can go home hopefully for awhile.

Happy 2009!!

Coley and Taylor on new Years EVe... almost 2009

New Years was mellow, and nice. We went to a New Years Party out at my dads... He had some friends together and a band. Taylor had so much fun.. she kept stealing the carrots and veggies from the table, and she was the first one out on the floor to dance.. that would be our Taybugz.. she does like to get down and boogy.. lol.

We went out to my Aunt Sue's for the rest of the night. Brian and mom had alot of fun. we all visited and chatted. We got to see Ryker again, and taylor got to hold him. She didn't want to let him go though. lol. Keri got the bottom lip and the really sad face from Taylor.. so she gave him back to her..lol. They all played games the rest of the night. Im so glad that brian and mom and a good time. I had my hands full with Taylor.. lol. She kept wanting to play with the not so nice kitty. Even though the cat was hissing at her and batting its paws at her, she still wanted to play with it. lol. We were out very late, in fact Taylor fell asleep on me while we were sitting on the stairs.. lol. Lots of fun though. Great way to bring in the new year... and the best part... It was my first new years with my husband, and I actually got a New years kiss =)

Look how good of a mommy Keri is.. awwww...
