new posts.........(dont read if you are going to be offended)

BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!

So, I have been told by a few that I need to post some new stuff. Seeing as how we have no new news I am not sure what to post. I guess I could post that Mike still has No Job, But nobody wants to hear that. I could post that I am just like my mom and HATE Christmas, but then you would all think that something was wrong with me. Now I know your all going to ask why I hate Christmas so here it is. I hate Christmas because, ever since I could remember it was just a time of stress. I remember my mom always yelling at us that we were ungrateful for this or don't deserve that. Now that I am a mom I find myself doing the same. I also hate the whole gift thing. We have never had the money to buy what is wanted for our kids, yet always find a way to get them at least one thing they want. I just hate the stress of trying to find it and deciding what to get. Then you have the decorations, I hate the mess of getting them out. The mess it makes in finding the room to put the tree up. UGH!!!! I guess I shouldn't be this way, but I am my mothers, daughter!!!!! Did I mention my birthday is right after Christmas and on my sisters birthday..... and for those of you who don't know, I come from a family of 8 kids!

I know some of you will say that Christmas isn't about the gifts. Or that I need to get back to the true meaning of Christmas, but lets get real you all have felt this way at one point in your life. Besides try explaining it to my 6 year old why Santa isn't coming. I think from now on every year right after Thanksgiving I am going to become Jehovahs witness. (that's just a joke)

As for a post we are all fine. We are still alive, but wishing we could get rid of these sore throats that keep coming and going. Hunter had his eardrum break a few days ago and it now keeps draining. He will see the ENT on Monday for that. Brock has been fighting something, needless to say he may not pass the first grade because of all the school he has missed. The only one who hasn't been sick is sweet Kilee. She has been good to me and sleeps for 8 hours a night. The only problem is it starts at 7pm.

Well Merry Christmas to you all, hope you got the right present for your kids!

The cutest and craziest kids ever...............

Kilee is getting so big she loves the kids and all the attention she gets! She has a very cute bond with each of the kids. She also has Mike wrapped around her finger!

This is the pretty dress that Grandma Arnes got for her. She looks so cute in it. Kilee however needed a nap when this picture was taken!

This is what happens when your afraid of light, but want lights!!!

Yeah for Kenzie!!


This is Hunters new best friend! The dog seems to get lost every now and then. But by the way Hunter hold her, you would to!

Just a cute Picture of Kilee!!!!

(Kenzie and Kortney made the flower on her head, we have tons of them)

Kilee is 4 months old...........

Pictures by Aunt Susan!

So Kilee is 4 months old and a very good baby! She is so good at just being......She is starting to chew on things. Her hands are her favorite. She also LOVES the TV, I took her with me to the theater, it was so funny to watch her eyes go so big, and she just stared. She is still a tiny little thing but my kids always are. She weighs 11 lbs (10%), 23 3/4" long (25%), head is 40 1/2 cm (25%). She loves her brothers, and smiles so big when they talk to her. I think Brock is going to be her favorite which is good because Kenzie and Hunter have a special bond!

The Movie and My feelings about it!

OK so I went and saw "Twilight" tonight (thanks Steph, I don't think I would have gone had you not asked) So here are my thoughts, I think that Edward was way to pretty for a guy. I know he was suppose to be gorgeous, but to me that means a little facial hair and muscles. Plus, I am not really into blonds, and what was with the long hair sticking up in the front? Maybe because he traveled so fast that's how it looked? Anyway, I do think that Bella was way cute, and the rest of the cast was very well chosen. I know Aunt Lori you are going to hate me but..........Jacob was SO CUTE!!!! I just have a thing for dark hair and skin. I also agree with her that the scenery was way nice, Mike may see it just for that (I don't think I could sit in a tree though.)

Breaking News!!!!

You heard it here first (unless you were watching the news to)! they are going to make the next book "New Moon." YEAh for me that means more JACOB!!!!

Hunter turns 4!

Here is him and his Sponge Bob cake, Yeah cake!!!

Hunter playing with some of his toys!

Blowing out the candles (he really was happy!)

His most favorite thing BOWLING!!

I think Brock was happier about this present then Hunter was, he does love these gloves (if that's what you call them)

Hunters Birthday is really today, but it is to hard for the family to all get here on a Wed. night so we had his party on Sunday. It was a lot of fun and a lot of people. I had been sick all the week before and going to work so it was kinda just thrown together. So sorry if you didn't get an invite and wanted to come the only people that got invited were the ones that asked about it. I am so bad!!! It was a fun day, I made barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, a salad and chips. Of course we also had cake and ice cream. Hunter was so excited and could hardly wait to blow the candles out. He started asking about his birthday after his cousin Maddy's birthday (which was the 25th or so of Oct.) I just cant believe he is 4 already! He is such a good boy and so nice (most of the time) He is so solid, he only weighs 5 lbs less the Brock and can take Brock down anytime he wants. He is going to be our sports player, he loves football and while we were at Wal-Mart he found some baseball helmet. Well he decided that they were football helmets instead and went and found a football. We thought we had lost him, but nope he was playing football all by himself in the isle. It was so cute!! For his birthday he got a lot of great present and he loves them all!!!!

Thanks to everyone for coming and maybe next year I will be better prepared!!!!!(I wouldn't hold my breath though)

Halloween '08

These are the pumpkins that the kids and Mike carved. These are also the pumpkins that magically grew in our flower bed all summer. It was way fun to watch them grow, it took over the whole flower bed and the grass in the front. We got a lot of comments about the plant. We figure they grew from the year before pumpkins that were left there while it snowed.

The pumpkins in the dark!!! SCARY!

Kilee was a bunny rabbit and the bow was one that Mikes sister gave her that I fixed a little! She was good for a little while, then she was done by the time we got to grandmas house!

Brock resting after doing his pumpkin. He did most of the carving on his own this year it was way cute!

This is the crew! Mckenzie was a hippie, Brock was Anakin (from Star Wars) and Hunter was of course Darth Vader. We went to my sister Robyn's house first and went in her neighborhood a little bit. Brittany came with us she was a mermaid and Josh also came and he was a motocross guy at first then he changed and was an army guy! We had a lot of fun, but it was a long night. After we went to Robyn's we went to Mikes moms neighborhood and meet up with his sisters. That was a fun neighborhood, and they have a lot of older kids that go so Kenzie, Josh and Brittany didn't feel weird as they are almost to old for this anymore. Hunter gave out after about 10 houses so he went back to Grandmas. Well we all know that his candy was for Mike and I, plus I was having a moment. So I grabbed the mask that came with Brock's costume and I went Trick or Treating. Kenzie and I had a blast (we took of and left Brock with Mike.) It was fun to act like a kid again and spend time with Kenzie goofing off!! She really is like my little sister a times (that's what my sisters all tell me anyway)

Sorry it took so long to post. As of Oct. 3 Mike has been Unemployed. His work laid off all but 4 guys, and well he was one of them. With this we decided that I would go get a job were ever I could get one and he would look for one that was going to pay him at least what he was making. I now work at Maverick gas station. Its a hard job but its OK. Its kinda funny because the people I work with are amazed that I don't want to work there the rest of my life. I am hoping and waiting to get back on with Labcorp (the company I worked for before I had Kilee) but they are on a hiring freeze until the new year (something about the stocks.)Mike is collecting Unemployment and that is helping, he has been really good at keeping the house clean and the kids homework done. He has been going out looking for a job every chance he gets, but with no education its hard. He has experience in construction but there is not much building going on in Utah right now. I know we will get past this I just hope it goes by fast!!!! Keep us in your prayers!

Rude People...........

OK so just a random blog here.
If you are a reader of my blog you know that I have been having problem ever since I had my baby. Well I decided not to sue the Dr. (it cost way to much, yes I called) but I did decide to go to a different Dr. When I decided to do this (2 weeks ago) I called and asked for my records. At the time, I also wanted them just in case I did decided to sue. Now remember this is the Dr's. office that I use to work at, plus he delivered Hunter. So I have known these people for years. Well today I finally get the call to pick up the copies (2 weeks later)and the lady that I got them from was so rude!! It is a big file but really she has nothing else to do, her job is to copy records and make appointments. Then I go back to the lab area to see my friend that still works there (lab area is an actual room and anyone can go there, Labcorp rents it from this Dr., just so you all don't think I am just walking around the office in places I shouldn't be) I pass 3 people that ALWAYS talk to me when I go there and none of them even said Hi! I could see if it was busy, but it wasn't they were at lunch!!! OK so maybe they are mad that I no longer want to go there, or that I no longer work there, or just don't want to be nice to me anymore, but really is a Hi so hard to do!!! Oh well I guess I wont be asking that office for a job anytime soon!!

update on Kilee............

Kilee Brielle had her 2 month appointment this last week. She is getting big at least to us. She now weighs 9 lbs, 4oz., and is 22 inches long. which is the 20% for weight and 45% for height. Which is good when you start out at the bottom. She is now starting to smile and loves the boys to talk to her.I think she likes Kenzie better then me. Just last night she wouldn't go to sleep, Kenzie was next door babysitting. I took Kilee over manly to keep Kenzie awake, and Kilee went right to sleep. the little stinker, I had been fitting her for a full hour. She is getting better about holding up her head as well, which is good since I am bad at doing "tummy time." She seems to be getting over her stomach problems, but is still confused about pooping. Funny I know! She is getting so big its hard for Hunter to hold her now, which is scary because he still tries. I have to lock her in her room just to take a shower. Hunter gets really stressed out when she cries and ends up sitting on the toilet while I shower.

Its a good thing she is so cute, with all the trouble she has caused me! From my previous post I have decided not to do anything. I kinda knew before I posted I just needed to vent. I am still feeling like crap. I think I am going to go to a different Dr. My stomach is still cramping up and I am still taking meds. to keep comfortable. Luckily Ibuprofen works. I am just feeling really tired still as well. Even after getting straight 6 hours of sleep. It just makes trying to get a job hard. OK so one of these days I will post without complaining.

taking a poll..........

OK so i am going to take a poll. First I must tell you that I am going off the pretense that you are all adult that are reading this. As it might get a little graphic .

I will first tell you the store for which the poll is needed. As you all are aware I had a baby on July 24, 2008. After I had given birth I was unable to deliver the placenta. Why I am not sure, the Dr. waited then decided that he needed to "go in after it." He did this by pulling the cord until the placenta came out. Well he then put his hand inside to make sure he got it all. Well at this time he tells me "your bleeding a lot and I can't tell for sure that we got it all, so hopefully we did." Well on I go with my recovery. I had an appointment with my "regular" OB at 5 weeks post partum. I told him at this time that I was still having some lite bleeding. He tells me its OK and not to worry about it. I tell him what the other Dr. had said about "maybe getting it all" and could it be that they didn't get it. He tells me that he most likely did get it all, and not to worry about it. So on Sept. 3 I had surgery to "tie my tubes." For this surgery they had to put me to sleep. Everything went fine, except I had a hard time coming out of anesthesia. I did however have some really bad cramping.
Well After surgery I had a 2 week post op appointment. I have yet to stop bleeding, and now its (oh how to say this) Not smelling very pretty. So I once again mention it to my Dr., he decides that maybe I should have an ultra sound, just to make sure all is good "as I'M sure it will be" he says.
So this last Thursday I had the ultra sound. It was scheduled for 11:30 and I was to see the Dr. right after. Well the girl that scheduled my appointment. didn't notice that the Dr. was out until 1:00pm. So the wait was on. Finally at 1:45 I see the Dr., low and behold....I have a golf ball sized mass in my uterus. Yep the Dr. left me a present. So now I have to go in (at 6AM mind you) and once again be put under and have it removed!!!!
So here is the question........................How many of you would be talking to a lawyer? I have told several people in my neighborhood the story and they all said they would be getting legal advise. Mike of course thinks I should. I however think mistakes happen. I didn't have all the bad things happen that could of. Plus this whole Drs. office knows me, as I use to work there (not for them though.) Also I don't even know if I would have a case.
Anyway, I will ONCE AGAIN! be going to the hospital, to bad they wont pay me for this....I have been trying to go back to work at nights!!!!!!

Kids!?!?!?!?

OK really quick, Brock is so much better tonight. He still is coughing but its not the tight bark cough of last night so no ER!!! Yeah!! On to another little observation. I thought tonight I would check my email and catch up on blogs. All the kids I thought were in bed. Well as I was sitting here, Hunter comes walking in. He wants to sleep in my bed. Now I have no problem with my kids falling asleep in my bed and then moving them. Yes I can still carry them, all but Kenzie of course. Anyway, he comes in and says he wants to watch a movie. So I tell him to get his pillow, and lay down and mommy will put it in in just a minute. Now remember just minutes ago he was running around the house and saying I'm not tired. I have been sitting here for 5 minutes and , thinking he is going to start getting mad that his movie isn't in, I look at him. No lie he is fast asleep!!!!! He does this a lot one minute he is talking the next he is asleep!!

Why is it we don't fall asleep that fast?

I wanted everyone to also know that Robyn, my sister, fixed my baby. I don't know how , but she did something. Kilee has been really giving me a lot of grief the last couple of days. Thursday night I actually had to go sit on the front porch while she screamed. Well Robyn watched her last night, and today she was an angel. This morning she was all smiles, coos, and kicking. I didn't even have to be holding her and she was happy. She ate really well then went to sleep and slept for 2 hours. She hasn't slept that long in the day for a few weeks. Then she woke up and actually ate for longer then 6 min. Which she normally does. After she ate this second time she played a little with Aunt Tammy then off to sleep she went. It was about 3:30-3:45 at this time. She slept until I woke her up at 8:30. It was so nice, scary but nice. I kept having to check on her to make sure she was alive. I had enough time to make some bread, and cinnamon rolls. Which are so good and easy to make but that's a whole other blog. Natasha and Kristen you both would love this stuff.
OK so I will tell you on this blog because I love it so much. My ward had an enrichment night that they invited the people for a company called Pantry Secrets. They basically have a recipe and some products that help you make dough. With this dough you can make just about anything loafs of bread, cinnamon rolls, bread sticks, and pizza to name a few. The joy of it is it only take 1 hour, from start to finish, to make dough for 4 loaves of bread. I didn't believe my friend who told me about it, but tried it today and its true. The other joy of this dough is it is easy to freeze. Jess (my friend) makes up few batches one day and then freezes it and has it when she needs it. It was so cool the dough was actually rising as I was getting it in the pans. The only down fall is you have to use a mixer of some kind. Either a Bosch or a kitchen aid mixer that will kneed the dough for you. I borrowed my sister Robyn's and I figure if it freezes so good why not take a day and make up a few batches.
They have a web site so if any one is interested just let me know and I will get you the info. Tomorrow before we eat all the bread and rolls I will take a picture and post it so you can see how well it is. I just wish you could see how fluffy and soft the bread is. It makes Rhodes dough taste like dust!

What a night

OK just a quick note. Last night we took the three little kids to Robyns house, she was nice enough to watch them while we went to Corbins football game. I was so needing a night off, and looking so forward to the break. Well after the game, about 10pm, we pick the kids up. She tells me that Brock has been coughing hard since about 8:30. I think OK well he has been coughing for a few days its probably his asthma kicking up. So I call Debbie and borrow her nebulizer. Why you might ask do I have to borrow hers. Well we're (the Doctor and I) are fighting over if he has asthma or not. Anyway, was really tight and as we were driving home I told Mike we should take him in to the ER so that we have documentation that he was coughing so bad. Since this seems to always happen when we cant go to the Dr., like at night. So we drop off Kenzie and a sleeping Hunter and off to the ER we go. when we get there its packed with people, being high school football night I guess that's how it is. I fill out the papers and think we are going to have to wait, well we didn't it was so nice. We get in the room and the Dr. comes in fairly quickly. As a side note, I worked at American Fork Hospital year ago. We did a lot of draws in the ER so I got to see a lot of the Dr.s at work. There was this one particular Dr. that I did not like at all. He had really bad bedside manners, almost rude and put off that you were there. So yes you guessed it he was on, ugh. Anyway come to find out Brock wasn't having an asthma attack but has...........drum roll please...............CROUP!
Just what I need with a new baby in the house. So, they gave Brock some kind of breathing treatment and a steroid. Well the treatment required that we had to wait 3 hours. I was given to him at approx. 12 am. So I am thinking OK we will be done by 3 and I can go home feed the baby and go to sleep. So the wait is on...... Just as the nurse comes in and tells us we can go Brock has a really bad attack again. So yep...........another treatment and another 3 hours. Luckily Brock is little and I could sleep with him in his bed. At this point the nurse suggest that one of us go home and get some sleep. So I sent Mike home and unfortunately had to keep the baby. Only unfortunate because hospitals are the worst place for them to be if they don't need to be there. But when I am the only one that can feed it what has to be done, and I HAD to feed her.
So now we are home and if he happens to sound as bad as he did last night we are to bring him right back in...........which will mean an admit................did I mention I hate the change of weather. Maybe we better really think about moving to a more even climate.

Time to Update............

OK so the baby is finally asleep with out being held and all is quite for a minute. School has started and going good. I just wish that the school would realize I graduated. With all the homework that they bring home its crazy sometimes, and lets be honest the parent does more work then the kid!
We haven't been doing a whole lot lately. At least anything fun to write about. With McKenzie and Brock at school all day, Hunter gets bored. He always get into trouble when I happen to be feeding the baby. Just the other day I hear the toilet flush. Thinking that he has gone to the bathroom I tell him good job. Well that's when he comes into my room and informs me that the fish had to go swimming. Yes you guessed it he got the fishing net and caught his gold fish out of our tank, and flushed the poor thing. The funny part was I thought well at least it was the fish that Mike didn't like. When I went to look at the tank, he had flushed all but one fish! When he told me that he flushed them it was funny because he started to spin saying that the fish swimed like this. Guess he watched Nemo one to many times!! All I cant say is at least he was home. I have very good neighbors that know when Hunter is out by himself, to catch him and bring him home!!! You would think Kilee was my second child not my 4Th!!!

Kilee has been a very trying baby! She has had a really bad stomach, and so its been hard at night. I think she may finally be growing out of it, but I don't want to get to excited. On the 3rd I had surgery and am so happy to say I am officially DONE having children. It is such a nice thought that now I can move on to the next part of life. What that is I have yet to find out but I do still have a new baby in the house so maybe in a year I will know.

go team!!!

MIke lives and breathes for this team! sorry fam!

Updates.........

OK so my updates are a few and far between, but I do have a new baby in the house. I have a hard time finding time to read blogs let alone post one. We have been really busy this last week. Debbie's to littlest have been out of town so we took the opportunity and had a girls day out. It was a lot of fun but tiring at least for me. We of course went school shopping then out to lunch/dinner (it was a little late for lunch but a little early for dinner.) Robyn kept my 2 boys, which they loved. It was nice to be able to have some time with just Kenz. I have been doing a lot since I had the baby. I have been feeling really good, that is until today. Today I just want a lazy movie day. Why is it that when you want a lazy day your kids don't?

As for the pictures, Brock loves to hold Kilee and go to sleep at night. As for me anything as long as he goes to sleep!!!! He is the worst to settle down, I hope that going to school will change that.

Hunter has been OK with the baby, the hardest part is he wont let anyone else do anything for him. We did take Kilee to the Dr. today for her 2 week checkup and she now weighs 6lbs 7oz. and is in the 10th percent for her age. I think its funny because all my kids have been really low for there age. Except Hunters head size and if you have seen Hunters head you would know why!

As for the rest of us all is OK. I just really miss getting a full nights sleep, and i think its funny when people tell me to take a nap. As if I have nothing else to do, did I mention that its been 2 weeks and I have only done my hair twice! shower a must hair not so much, frizz is in right!

The cutest pic...........

Kenzie got this picture of Kilee with her eyes opened and I LOVE it!!! Hunter and Brock both love to have Kilee "sleep" by them. The other picture is Kilee in her hospital bed. She always sleeps with her hand up by her face!!

Here she is.......

Kilee Brielle Arnes was born July 24, 2008 at 12:24am. She was 6 lbs 2 oz. and 18 inches long.

She had a ruff start at first, because she was a little early she had a little trouble breathing. Then they found that she had to many white blood cells which meant she was fighting some kind of infection. Needless to say this landed her in the NICU for the duration of her stay in the hospital. She then became jaundice and had to go under bili lights. After an extra day in the hospital she was released to come home. We brought her home on Sunday at 6:00 pm.

As for the boys they love her so much. Brock wants to hold her constantly and Hunter loves to give her kisses. Brock would rather hold his sister then play with his friends. I just hope it lasts. Hunter likes to hold her but not as long as Brock does. Hunter likes all the stuff that she came with ie.... her binkies, and her swing are his favorite. We have to keep taking them away. I don't mind as long as he stays potty trained. Kenzie loves having a little sister and is such a big helper. I don't worry at all when she has Kilee. She loves to get her dressed and yes we even painted her toenails already. As for me I forgot how tired you get after having a baby. Even though she sleeps a lot I still have other kids and things to do. We need to get on a schedule and get to bed earlier then maybe I could get to sleep before midnight. Oh well all in due time.

And the Wait is On............

So I have nothing to blog about now. Still no baby, and I have been put to bed. OK so the bed rest is mainly because if I am up and doing something my feet swell and start to hurt. Plus I have a headache (go figure).

The kids are getting really antsy and bored. Poor McKenzie she has been put to work keeping track of them. I am having a hard time because she is still a teenager. Plus who wants to spend the last month of spring break playing with your younger brothers. She will have it made up to her this fall, when Aunt Debbie takes her to Washington D.C.

As for the little boys, they are wild as ever. Mike did take them on Saturday to go camping for the night with his family. It was so sad, Brock didn't want to come home. When they got here he wouldn't talk to me for an hour. Then he started to cry and I had to promise him that his cousin, Tyler, could come spend the night. I have been promising this for a while so this is nothing new. I was really shocked that they did so well with Mike camping. At home they will NOT go to sleep unless the TV is on. So I thought for sure they would have a hard time going to bed. Oh no Hunter laid down and was out within 5 min. Brock took a little longer, he loves to talk. So mike took the top off and had him start counting the stars. He counted for a min. then pulled the blankets up over his head and went to sleep. I loved talking them on the phone about all that they saw. Apparently,The Chipmunks, Alvin, Simon, and Theodore live up big cottonwood canyon. They also love the beaver dam, which is really a beaver dam. They had a really good time, and loved having dad to themselves.

As for my weekend I spent Saturday talking Debbie's ear off, and Sunday laying in bed after church. As for church I may have to wait until after having this baby to go back. The seats were so hard, even the cushioned ones. Plus our church starts at 8:30, which was really hard after being up since 5am. Yes one more reason to get this baby out maybe I can get some sleep.HA HA HA, I know. Did I mention how glad I am that this is my last?

Sorry just had to vent........and cry!

So today has been a real emotional roller coaster ride. I went to get my amnio done, Which I might add is very painful. Well the doctor missed, not once but twice. Then he basically told me that I was the one that was trying to rush this baby along. Mind you this was the same Dr. that just yesterday sent me to the hospital to have this baby. Yes I will admit that I am tired of being pregnant, its not really the pregnancy but everything that has come with it. I have been so mad all day, and lets just say if I wasn't so close to the end, I would get a new Dr. So basically he tells me that I have to wait until I am 39 weeks and then they will induce me then. Which is 2 weeks away and i am fine with that because that's what I have planned all along. But, my Dr. the one that told me they would deliver me at 39 weeks is going to be out of town until Aug.3. So, unless I actually go into labor I have to wait until that week. However, all his appt. are taken so I would have to wait until the next week to actually see him. Anyway to make a long story short NO BABY until hell freezes over!!!!!

Also as I am venting, I asked him for something for my nausea. Seeing as how in the last week I have been in the hospital 3 times for I.V.s. But because of my insurance I have to get it pre-authorized. Well his office didn't get the authorization until 4:30. I then called the pharmacy to make sure that it went through. Oh no...... and now its to late, and the insurance company is closed. FOR THE WEEKEND!!!! So basically I will be once again in the hospital for I.Vs come Monday. Did I mention how pissed off I am and would NEVER go to this Dr. again!!

Family Reunion

Brock going down the slide at the family Reunion!


Hunter loved this slide!

You cant tell really well but this is Josh and Hunter and this is what the slide looks like!

YES!!! even the "cool" big kids got into the fun!!
This is McKenzie I couldn't get one of her going my camera ran out of Battery!

I added this picture this is my Uncle Claron Taking his Granddaughter down! He was the only adult brave enough to go.
We love this reunion. Not only is it the only time we ever see my dads side of the family, but they also have it at a really cool place. Its like a little park, with tons of trees. Its in Wellsville, which is up by Logan. So its not ever really hot. Plus they have a lot of things for the kids, a teeter toter, swings and of course this slide. There is a rope swing that you can play on that goes over the creek but nobody has ever used it to get in the water!

Not today...........

OK so today was suppose to be"the day." since I am writing this you can guess that it didn't happen. I went to my appt. and the Dr. said that I was ready and to go to the hospital. Debbie, McKenzie, Kenzies friend Alex and I then head to the hospital. I was so excited, I couldn't believe he was actually going to do it today. Well I get to the hospital and of course another Dr. is on call, which means he doesn't really want to take care of me. So they start all these test and give me fluids (I had been throwing up for 2 days) The tests came back fine, and this Dr. wasn't sure he felt good about delivering me at 37 weeks. There is still a chance that the baby might not be ready. So, tomorrow I get to go in for and amniocentesis. If you don't know what this is, its were they take a big needle and pull amniotic fluid out and see if the lungs are developed. I am OK with doing this test, because I would feel really bad if I had her and she ended up sick in the hospital. If the test comes back that she is OK, I will be having this baby tomorrow!!! The good news to is, my Dr is on call!!! So lets hope she is ready, I don't want to spend the next 2 weeks like the last week!

So here are a list of things that still need to be done before the baby comes:
Laundry-----Started, probably wont get finished.
Babies room------Bed still not made, she wont sleep in it anyway for awhile.
House clean------- No but do I really care.... Not right now.
Everything bought that I need------no guess we might be taking a trip to Wal Mart on the way home!!!

So as you can see I still have things that need to be done, but at the moment I could careless. So if I do have this baby and you come to visit once we get home. Be advised my house may not be clean, but lets be real, with 2 boys is it ever really clean.

Anyway wish me luck and I will keep this posted!!!

Update......

OK so that's funny, I blogged like everyday and then nothing for a while. Oh well! Some of you might have noticed my blog has had a make over. This is a big THANK YOU to my cousin for doing this for me!! I could never figure out how to change it. I now feel like I have joined the COOL blogging world.

So on to baby news! No I haven't had her yet, but I have been to the hospital now 3 times for testing and other stuff. I really hate going to the hospital when you know your not going to have you baby. On Friday I was really sick and dehydrated so I had to go in and have fluids and my baby monitored. Then on Sunday I had a really bad headache so I had to go in again and have my blood pressure checked and get pills for that. Then on Monday I had a reaction to the blood pressure medicine that they gave me. So off to the Dr. I go. While at the Dr's. I had to do a stress test, well the test showed that my baby wasn't moving, heart rate was fine she just wasn't moving. Plus I had started being sick. So off to the hospital we went. I had to get more fluid and they did an ultra sound to make sure the baby was OK. She passed and is about 6 lbs. now. My regular Dr. was on call, which was good, so I am no longer on strict bed rest!!! I think its funny that Dr's. can be so different. I think my Dr. is sick of seeing me and wants me up hoping that it will put me in labor. I will hopefully be having this baby this Thursday, it all depends on if I am dilated more. So the wait is on, once again and I have come to the conclusion that. I am so thankfully this is my LAST!

As for the rest of the kids. Brock and Kenzie are ready for this baby to be here. They both came with me to the hospital yesterday. Brock has decided that it wasn't that scary and wants to watch me have the baby. NO he will not be watching. I am very lucky and need to say Thank You to my sisters. Robyn and Debbie have been really great to help me with my kids and driving me all over.

I need something......

OK notice the time as I am blogging this..... Yes its 5:09 AM! I am having what my Dr. calls getting ready for baby sleep problems. Today its been kinda bad, I have actually been up since 2:30AM. The sad thing is there is nothing on T.V. at this time of the day and it hurts my head to read while in bed. So what do I do with my time, I blog stalk. Which is like reading, I know but, sitting up doesn't hurt my head (don't ask because I DON'T KNOW!) Anyway, its a good thing that for the next 2 days I cant do anything, maybe I will get some sleep (yeah right!) I have a feeling that its going to be a call out to the aunts kinda day. So for those of you aunts (you know who you are) be for warned.

As a side note, Mike started his new job at work today!!! He is now in the yard instead of on a truck. This is nice because he will be close to his car if I happen to need him to hurry home! The bad part is he has to be to work at 5am instead of 6, and it will cut down on some of his overtime! However, he will be off most likely at 3:30-4:00pm so when I go back to work I can get something that's starts at 5 or 6 and wont have to worry about leaving the baby with just Kenzie.

Anyway I guess I will now eat something and hope that I can go back to sleep! I cant even clean my house if I wanted to, so lets hope that I can sleep!

A little update.....

Me and my little boys!!!

Brock the last day he had long hair!!!

Brothers for life! Friends for a minute!
Hunter loves to have his picture taken that's why I have so many of him. I also put more pictures on, I was looking for one of all 3 kids and didn't have any recent ones. Sorry Robyn I will work on it!!!

Just a quick baby update. I had to go into the Dr. this afternoon, I thought that my water was broke. Come to find out I was just losing my mucus plug at a very slow rate. While I was there he also checked to see if I was dilating, I have been having contractions for the last few days. I knew that I had been dilating just because I hurt so bad. What I didn't know was I am already at 3cm. This is really good, but for now it kinda sucks. For the next 2 days all I am suppose to do is lay in bed. The Dr. said that if I go into labor for real before Friday they will have to stop me. After Friday I will be 36 weeks and can have the baby. I do have a "real" appt. scheduled for Friday, so if I am more dilated then I may have a baby by this weekend. I just thought I would let you that were wondering know.

Last but not least............

Random pictures of us being us. I just realized that I have two of the same pictures, and none of Brock. My bad! I would take the duplicate pictures off if I knew how sorry!!!

I am done for today! But check back I have lots of pictures that need to be shown!!!!!!

Brock's Graduation...........

They had a little program the kids put on, it was so cute. Brock was excited Grandma Toni, Aunt Michelle, and his cousins came to watch. It was a fun but sad day for him. He had a little crush on his teacher and was sad that he wouldn't be seeing her again. Good thing I have a picture of them together, and he looks at it often.

I know that I have a lot of pictures and blogs for today, but I promised Brock that I would put these pictures on. This is his graduation from kindergarten.

Fun in the sun..........

OK so at Gardner Village they have this store called Just for Girls. With me having a girl I had to go in and see what they had. It was such a cute store, I was way mad that I didn't have more money. Anyway they had these baby sunglasses that everyone decided they needed to try on. I did end up buying the yellow ones that Brock has. I also got the cuties headband, but you will have to wait for the baby to see it!

Gardner Villiage...........

So the day that school got out for the year, (yes I know its been awhile) we took the kids to Gardner Village. It was a lot of fun, we like to look at all the little shops and I got to take some much needed pictures. The kids loved feeding the fish and they were huge, then we found some baby fish. They have a cute little bakery there so we got some food and then went to the candy store of some candy it was a fun day. The only down fall was the petting zoo was closed so Hunter couldn't ride the ponies so we have to go back to do that.
