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!
