12 WEEKS & 28 WEEKS TO GO

We are so excited to have baby number 3 coming into our house. I don't know who is more excited Rylan & Paislee or me! Jordan and I have talked about having another baby for a long time, well actually I have talked and Jordan has rolled his eyes, but we finally decided about Thanksgiving time we were ready to add the last little spirit into our home. We tried for quit awhile before my doctor finally talked me into surgery to cleaning everything out so that I could get pregnant. I went into the hospital the day before my surgery to have the pre-blood work done and sure enough the doctors office called that night to let me know the surgery was off and I was PREGNANT. I don't think the poor lady on the other end of the phone knew what to do when I told her to shut-up and then started to cry. Due to the fact that I was supposed to have surgery the next day I really couldn't hide from the family that I was pregnant. My levels were low so they had me come in a few times to do more blood work (I HATE NEEDLES) and continue to monitor my levels. The baby started out a little smaller than the doctor liked but we are back on track now. I have been feeling good, just a little tired and even that seems to be passing. We have decided not to find out if we are having a girl or a boy. I have driven my husband crazy by keeping every baby thing I have ever had, so we are ready for either sex. Other than my stomach growing faster by the minute I am truly loving every minute of being pregnant.

We are due Feb. 11, 2011 12 weeks

10 MINUTE WARNING

I told Paislee she had 10 minutes and I was coming into her room to vacuum. I also told her that whatever was not picked up was going to be sucked up in the vacuum, so she better get moving. When I walked into her room this is what I found:

AND YES SHE WAS SITTING ON HER BED WAITING FOR ME TO COME IN!!!

TARZAN

Wednesday we were able to make a VERY quick trip up to see Tarzan. It was so good. I was a little nervous because I had to bring the kids, but they did great. Rylan sat through the whole thing and really liked it. Paislee was done about half way through the second half, but she also really liked it. Rylan got to see his very best friend from Utah. He is so funny because all he really cared about was if Kaylee was going to be there. They played and played.

SUMMER SWIMMING

This summer I have gotten a lot of grief because we have spent a lot of time at the pool. But really what else is there to do when it is 110 degree's out side?

LIED DISCOVERY MUSEUM

I had some family come into town for the 4th of July so we decided to take the kids to the Lied Discovery Museum. The kids had a ball and it was fun to catch up with the family we don't get to see very often.

SUMMER SWIMMING

We got lucky to have dad come swimming with us today

4TH OF JULY

This year we got to celebrate the 4th for 2 day!!! We started Saturday with a barbecue at Aunt Peggy's. The boys playing their usual basketball gameThen Sunday we had homemade icecream and fireworks over at my moms. Waiting for everyone to get to Grandma's

Waiting for it to get dark the kids played in the jumper

The boys played HORSE

FINALLY IT GOT DARK

Rylan was so excited to help Uncle Jeff do his first Fireworks

PAISLEE'S LEG IS FREE

Paislee got her cast off today. You would think that would be exciting for her and I, but it really is not. She finally got to the point that she was walking with her cast and now we are back to scooting on her butt and a lot of screaming to be carried places. The doctor told me it will probably be about two weeks before she will fully use her leg again. Let me just tell you how unhappy I was to hear that. We are spending a lot of time in the pool to try and get those muscles re-built faster. She is even enjoying riding her bike again. Anything to get those leg muscles working again!!!
