Another Baby Project!

Ok, I know I JUST posted about baby projects, but heres one that my mom and I started about 2 months ago. We worked most of a Saturday and then put it away and finally finished this up last night. I had looked around online and found the idea that I wanted. I REALLY debated just buying this, but for that price I could just buy a whole new car seat.. so I spent a little less than $30.00 in material, ect. I had enough for the car seat, a matching blanket, and I have left overs that im going to make a boppy cover for my blue boppy.

Would have cost $100 before tax/Ship/Handling!!


Heres the car seat one of sisters gave me in the past, and the top is from the car seat I used from the boys.

Baby Blanket

Soo with all this bedrest Ive found one things atleast to keep me occupied!! I decided to crochet my little girl a blanket. Ive crocheted lines of things in the past and then get frustrated when the ends dont match up and then gave up. So of course this happened again but I would just take it out and fix it. So this blanket took LOTS of time but im am soo glad I finished it and that I made it for MY daughter. Its soo great to see the finished product of a project. Pete asked me last night "What are you going to do when the blankets done". He knows I HATE sitting and doing nothing. I already have the next one in mind. =)

Rylans EKG/Echocardiogram

Yesterday was Rylans Doctor Appointment with the Cardiologist. About a month ago the doctor heard a heart murmur and just wanted to check it out. He did SOOO well and loved the doctor, he even tried to hold the doctors hand (i think he was trying to do his own ultrasound really) but everything looks good. His murmur is INNOCENT. The doctor said they like to call it a "musical heart" >> they just make more noise then other kids. Once their diagnosed with innocent murmurs thats that.. it wont be a problem in the future but he'll always have it. So as you can imagine were THIRLLED that our baby is just fine.

Valentines Day!!

This Valentines I wanted to do something fun for the boys!! I made a trail of hearts from their bedroom into the family room were they had a basket full of goodies and a card. They LOVED that!!

Then for breakfast we had scones with pink frosting and some fruit. Then Pete was off to a job and I met up with his side of the family. We hung out there for a while then Pete met us there and we were off to bowl. The kids had lots of fun, Jaiden bowled for the neghbor guy on accident =/ oops!! Thankfully he didnt mind that it ruined his score.


Rylans ball got stuck half way down the lane once. Then it was back to the house for me to get ready for dinner. I made a candelit meal with some fun valentines glasses with heart shaped ice cubes. The boys helped me the day before make Petes favorite pie!!



The boys got COMPLETELY covered in flour (Jaiden even tried making a beard> of course it was straight to the bath after that, DOnt worry, the bodies aand feet only got in the flour after I was done with that part =) haha) Overall it was a great Valentines.

Pregnancy!!

Yesterday was not a great day. I woke up and my lower stomach/uterus was in pain. Not contractions but VERY uncomfortable. I was real worried! I took the day off work to just stay in bed completely. Crystal came by as usual and took care of my boys. My mom came in to help with the boys until she got there. And my dad gave me a wonderful fathers blessing! This morning was my doctor appointment and I was certian something had changed. It HASNT!! My cervix is still on the short side but steady from my last visit which is awesome! So ill continue to keep it real easy. As far as the babies heart that had two potential problem areas/holes>> They have now filled!YEA!! =) So todays doctors visit went extremely well, as well as it could of.

Some fun facts about our baby so far:
*She 2lbs. 2oz. now, right were she should be
*She is EXTREMLY active. Although her kicks dont fill that hard.
*She has been head down since about 12 weeks. And hoping shell stay that way
*Shes fiesty, if one of my boys bumps my tummy, she usually kicks 'em right back.. yep, shell fit into this family =)
*She kicks lots, but when daddy tries to feel, she stops

Funny Boy!!

Last night as the boys are kissing my belly good night, Rylans rubbing my tummy feel fast in a circle and says " Its ok Baby, your just round like a Ball" .. the things kids say are just too funny!

Our Time Spent on Bedrest!

Nohting too exciting has happened in our lives soo far since I stuck at home. I do go to work everyday still and have my legs propped up most of the day. Ive been able to get out of the house a little. Petes been playing in the basketball tournament for our stake and I LOVE going and watching him play. Its the only time I get to. I wasnt going to go but my mom insisted I get out of the house. She told me shed wheel me in a wheelchair and chace after my boys (I told her Id walk =) ) But I was glad to get out.
(Jaiden w/Amber Andersons baby Mavrik)
(One more good thing/ Hot dogs.. So I dont have to cook dinner =) )

I got out for a doctor appt (Although not glad when I saw another doctor , mine was delivering, and she told me Im gaining to much weight and that throughout the rest I should only gain 5 more lbs. >> What, my baby will gain more then that. Plus, look thorugh my records lady, I GAIN during pregnancy and MY doctor never complains (60 with Jai, 40 with Ry) UGH!! But overall ok.

I give my boys haircuts about every two weeks and they were getting a little scruffy looking. I debated calling my sister to cut there hair but figured I could sit on the stool while doing it. Keep in mind Pete was off at basketball. I should of just waited =( So I doing Rylans and finish up and throw him in the bath then get to Jaiden. He must have snuck off with the trimmer and took it straight to the top of his head. I had no choice but to shave my baby BALD!! He looks like a little cancer patient. When I took him out of the bath I dry Ry hair and he asks why im not drying his. I laugh, knowing he doenst realize what I meant when I said I got to cut it all off. So I told him to go look in the mirror " Ahh, weres my hair at" is what he had to say about it. Although he thinks he looks cute/ Not so much!! And hes liking hte attention of everyone rubbing his little head.
(You can see his bald head a little in this picture)

Since I cant be moving around much, when Pete is gone. My kids resort to TV or XBOX most of the time becuase that keeps them from fighting and me from getting up and down over and over again. Heres Ry playing snowboarding!!

Also to help Pete out a little, The boys help me get food out to cook, With Petes help, and Jaiden is incharge of helping clear off the table after meals. Hes been such a great helper!!
