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.

Pictures.............

I told my friend that I put pictures on my blog. I just looked and I havent put any pictures on since May. My bad I will tell you the reason, I hate do go through and download and name the pics. I do have a lot that I can put on so I will do it today and then post them. Sorry for not doing it before.

A quick update!!

OK so for those of you who are wondering, I went to the Dr. today and found out that he will let me have this baby in about 2 weeks. I have been having blood pressure issues so hes hoping that I wait that long. I go in next week for my 36 week check up and he will see how far dilated I am then. With Hunter at my 36 week check up I was a 3 and 80%, at 37 weeks I was a 4, and at 38 weeks I passed a kidney stone, lets hope history doesn't repeat itself to much. This baby is a lot lower then he ever was, and I am having contractions every night. If I am a 4 after 37 weeks he will break my water and let me have this baby, which will be about the 17-18th of this month. I am a little nervous about going at 37 weeks, but we will make sure the baby is OK before we do anything. My Dr is going out of town from the July 21-Aug. 2, so if I cant have her that weekend then I will most likely have to wait until after the 2nd. At any rate I am now to the point that he tells me "you could have her any day" which he did with Hunter and it made me so mad!!!!!
It was kinda funny, my Dr. informed me that the hospital has decided to not let people who have had previous C-sections be induced. This is funny to me because since McKenzie (who I had a c-section with) I have been induced twice. You would think that after 2 successful VBACs (which stands for vaginal birth after Cesarean) they wouldn't care.

Anyway that's the update on the baby news. I am not really ready for this baby to be born quite yet. I still need to put up the crib, paint the changing table, wash her cloths that I have. I just don't really care at the moment (is that sad). With my blood pressure and kids I have headaches all day plus who wants to be outside in the heat. All that does is make me swell.
