One mOnth Tommorrow!!

I cant believe a whole month has passed by since our sweet girl has joined our lives. I feel soo blessed to have this amazing daughter. She is soo precious and sweet. Shes SOO easy going and hardly cries or fusses. Shes still sleeping lots through out the day and in a wholes months time the longest shes ever been a wake was 3 1/2 hrs straight. Usually its about 1 hr max. She wakes up 2 x's in the night ( 3 hrs span) At two weeks she had already gone camping and got her toe nails painted pink ( that right were mixing up the real girly with the outdoor girly.. Keep her well balanced =) ) Her poor eye has a blocked tear duct ( Jaiden and I had this when we were born) She just looks sometimes like shes starting to get pink eye.. Just the gunkies not the pink. I LOVE getting her all dolled up.

Petes 1st place Soccer!!

Pete started a playing indoor soccer with some friends the past few months. Its been alot of fun to go and watch every Thursday nights >>> even the 10pm games! Its alot faster pace than my little boys and lots of fun to watch. Even the crazy awesome girls bounce these balls off their heads (hence why I dont play,, Im not that tough =) haha). Tonight was the final game and they took FIRST PLACE!! YAY!! He signed up to play next season too.

Camping!!

2 weeks ago was memorial weekend so Me and the kids went camping from Sunday to MOanday ( Pete had to work monday so he couldnt come) with some of my family and my little Sister Celestials in Laws. We went to the same spot they had fathers nad sons. It was alot cooler than I thought it would be. I wouldnt have dared take my 2 week old camping except that my parents brought along their trailer so we had a/c and beds to sleep on. It was lots of fun!! I have always been a camping girl>> more so than my husband likes to camp but its growing on him. THe boys had lots of fun roasting hot dogs and marshmallows. Shooting the potato guns and bow and arrows and riding the 4 wheelers. I cant wait to take them camping again.

Past 2 weeks with 3 kids.

Ok.. so Ive now realized that once your on your 3rd baby life hardly slows down even in the first week. We have been go go go and having tons of fun with our darling baby girl. I took all 3 kids to Kadences first check up. It went remarkably well. The boys were actually very well behaved. We havent missed even one of the boys soccer games. Thats right, Newborn and all we were out there cheering them on. Jaiden has been doing awesome. Hes still amazing as always as offense but hes been playing goalie this season and really likes it ( or so he says, I think he still needs a longer attention span, he let a few goals in this past saturday as he distracted by the time the ball comes., Oh well). Rylan on the other hand is not much into it this season. His games are all about noon (naptime and 90 degree weather, dont mix). As far as finally staying at home with my kids.. IM LOVING IT. We been very progressive and weve had lots of fun. Weve been going to the park lots, playing outside on their slip n slide and weve even gone swimming at a friends house. Our little one is the best little baby and has gone along for all of it. Shes just such a good, content baby. I feel so blessed. Shes a great sleeper to and only wakes up once during the night. A few nights ago she even slept all the way through. Pete gave me a night off friday night and woke up with Kadence in the night. Him and I have even manage to fit in a date night ( Yes, I already left my baby.. only for a movie down the street and Pete pretty much forced me =) haha. I wasnt too thrilled but I managed.) All in all Im handeling the 3 kids thing pretty good and more improtantly loving it (except when im nursing her and the boys are being buggers and I cant do much about it). Jaiden is the best big brother I can imagine. He loves Kadence soo much and constatly wants to hold her and love her. The other morning we woke up to him laying on a pillow on the ground next to her swing in our room were she was sleeping, just waiting for her to wake up =) Rylan loves her too but is mostly ok with being able to give her a kiss every now and again. Shes still sleeping pretty much all day long but when this girl is awake she is one squirmy little squirt. Even the doctor said something about it. She hardly ever cries, Ive only heard her cry a handful of times, mostly shell start to swirm when its time to eat. But when she doesnt cry I think its the cutest little sound. We love her so much and are soo ahppy shes here and ours!!

Kadence Aubri

Kadence Aubri was born 5/5/09 @ 10:32pm 6lbs. 8 oz. 18 1/2 inches long!








I put a post below with how it all happened but It was not like we planned.. The hospital was full so I wasnt induced by them but did it on our own and I did it without the ephidural.. NO not by choose. Its pretty long but its has MOST the details.

Induce/Labor/Delivery

Ok.. Soo, im going to go into some short details so feel free to skip this post or if you wanna know a little more details about my delivery, its here..

So the night before being induced I barely slept of course. Too anxious to rest. I woke up at 2:30am and showered and got everything completely together. Pete & I took the boys over to my parents house at about 4:15 and headed for the hospital. When we got there they told me all the beds were full and that I could either wait there or go home but I might as well go home cause it would likely be atleast 4 hrs. So we did. When we got home I was able to take a 1 1/2 nap. So then we get a call from my doctor and there are 4 woman waiting for rooms and it looks like it wont be happening today. He said we will reschedule for thursday evening and IF it freed up he would of course call me (I thought possibly a week before Id be holding my baby but her lungs werent ready and now I had to wait longer =( ) I got off the phone and just bawled. I was sooo upset. I thought I was for sure going to be holding my baby that day.. and even though it would only be 2 more days.. whos to say they wouldnt be busy then. So I had to text everyone ( i was in no shape to talk) that was planning on being at the hospital that it wasnt going to happen. My friend Amber wrote back.. have to thought about castor oil? I thought, no way.. what if I go into labor and they dont have a room for me (But a this point I really could of cared less if I had t oshare a room with someone. I didnt want to try castor oil but was totally down for the idea of trying to send myself into labor. So Pete, Amber, Tara , and Ashley and Me all went to Buffalo Wild Wings to get some HOT wings. Then the plan was to go walking, but I changed my mind and decided to go straight for the castor oil since that was more likely to actually work (we had called up a few people we knew It worked for and got all the details) After we got the castor oil we went to Ashleys house so I could be by the bathroom ( Castor Oil is kinda like vegetable oil and its really a laxative, its works to empty the bowels and also trys emptying the uterous. I drank 4oz. in a large glass of orange juice. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be (id do it again) about 3 hrs. passed. During that time I got anxious so we went for a walk, tryed a little excersicing video =) haha. My sisters baby shower was that night so we left to releive her from my kids. I started having contractions as we were leaving. When we got home I started getting a some diarhea and more contractions. I took a bath because I was getting uncomfortable and then decided it was time to go to hte hopsital ( Yay!! Its actually working!!) So we walked my boys over to my moms. When I was at the door my sister and her pregnant friend were there and I started to cry in pain and figured I better leave quick before worrying them too much. So Pete and I are driving to the hospital, its about 6:30 and traffice (WONDERFUL) I was not feeling good. Finally we get there and we had to wait in the waiting room for about 20 min (I went to the bathroom 2xz while waiting (PLEASE dont let me have diahrea while im pushing htis baby out) So we get back in the make sure im in real labor and I am and dialated to a 3. My dr. has now been at the hospital on call for 12 hrs and is ready to go home, he admitts me but doesnt really wanna come back that night so tells them to let it all happen natural ( Dont break my water or give me pitocin to speed up, thanks doc is what im thinking) So we get into the room and my contractions start slowing down. Im feeling something but its not even showing on the chart (WHAT.. I could beleive it, she said maybe they were like braxton hicks but they werent contractions.. I was pissed cause I was hurting) She said it would likely be the next morning when I deliverd (The boys were almost 4 hrs flat, but induced by pitocin) so im thinking maybe I dont deliver quite as fast on my own (This is all about 8:45pm. So nurse comes to check me and I feel Kadence kick REAL HARD and then I feel fluid leaking out. I told her I think it just broke, she was under the impression it had already broke.. I told her not that I knew. So she checked and it broke. I was dialated to a 5. Within about 10 min I started having HARD CORE contractions one on top to the next. She checked me again and I was at a 7!! At that moment I thought.. im not going to be able to get the ephidural! THIS IS MY WORST NIGHTMARE!! I ask her " Can I get the ephidural" she calls for it. Within minutes im dying and she knows somehtings happening she checks again and says im at at 8 pushing 9 and I dont have time for the ephidural!! She literally just barley covers me back up and Im screaming that the baby head feels like its about to come out of me.. she flips the blanket back off and im at a 10. At this point I definatley have a whole new 10 in mind on a scale of 1-10. I am screaming and crying and grunting. Finally the pain eases up a little and its just horrible pressure. there telling me not to push that were waiting for my doctor but my body was pushing on its own. Ok.. so the next 10 min it just horrible and Im making all kinds or noises but the nurse was so awesome and kept praising me aand telling me I wasnt getting a break at all inbetween, they were non stop pain. I remember I kept asking if we could just do it with out my doctor and that I really didnt care if he was there =) At this point I just wanted her out. Finally he got the and they tried to get me to scoot down and bend my knees. I barely was able to scoot down and I could barely force myslef to bend my knees. Pete had never watched my boys come out and preffers being by my head but I guess I was kicking to nurse so she asked him to help hold my legs. I was prayer alot in my head and I know thats why I pushed ONLY 1 X and my beautiful baby girl was out!!It was the most intense pain ever and I cant not understand why anyone would CHOOSE to do this. I looked down and the first thing I thought was wow.. shes tiny, SHE FELT enormous!! She was gorgeous even right after she popped out!! I oculd stop looking at her but of course i tore so I had the undergo some more pain while he stiched me back up. That was painful but nothing compared to before. The nurse asked her name and I said Kadence and then though (wait this all happend so fast i didnt ask Pete the middle name he chose) So I looked over and asked him " Aubri " I LOVE it!!! So Kadence Aubri Almanza was born 5/5/09 10:32pm (10 hrs after castor oil) and 7 hrs after some contractions but 41/2 after they were close enough to count). Weighing 6lbs. 8 oz. and 18 1/2 inches long. My smallest baby thankfully was the one I did without the ephidural!! So all in all she has been my hardest pregnancy and delivery but I would od it all again in a heart beat. Plus she is SUCH a good baby. The boys have taken uunbelievably well to her. Jaiden would hold her 24/7 if we let her and Rylan is soo sweet to her. She is totally putting up great with them to and there constant kisses and touching her. We love her more than words could say and cant believe she ours!!

May 5th!!

I went to my very last Doctor appt. today!! My Obgyn talked to the Perinatologist, who did the Amnio, he told him it showed about 5 days till her lungs should be mature. So were gunna go with 8 to be on the safe side. So Tuesday May 5th I will for sure be induced .. If I dont go into labor on my own. He said my cervix is paper thin and Im still dialated to a 2. BUT .. I dont want to go sooner, just because of her lungs. Soo we will have 3 birthdays within my small family within 5 days! Pete B-day is May 4th, hers will be May 5th (Which is also a good friends B-day) and Rylans is May 9th!! Oh ya>> My dads/Petes Moms is May 13th, which sometimes lands on Mothers Day. So lots of Birthdays within a short time period but we'll take it!! I just dont want her to come a day early on Petes B-Day!! Soo for real this time we have less than a week till Ill be holding my Baby Girl!

Not Mature!!

I got my Amnio this morning and It really wasnt even close to as bad as I had expected. My doctor came in just for me because he was off today.. but im glad because he did it great. I didnt want to see the needle so I tried looking the other way BUT of course the ultrasound screen is there. So I found somewere to look I couldnt see either. Once the needle broke the skin.. I thought, not bad, I can watch this.. So I watched on the screen the needle going thorugh my skin and into the water spot. I watched as the water area kinda srunk. It was weird. Mostly just felt like a shot in the tummy. Soo Ive waited most of the day anxiously waiting for the results. And of course... Its NOT what I wanted to hear. Her lungs are not yet mature.. So, the induction is OFF =( I feel like I could cry. i just got my hopes up so much I guess. Ill survive though, she will eventually be here. My OBGYN in moving my inducution back to next tuesday tentatively. Ill hear from my other doctor about the detail of the results tommorrow morning.. Like how NOT mature they are.. Or if just barely or what not. Soo Tommorrow will just be a regular day in our lives.. But suckier cause I wont be in labor =/

Brittneys Farewell!

Today a good friend of mine from when were little had her mission farewell in her Singles ward. Me and my sister Celestial went to listen to her speak. Me & Brittney were really good friends when we were little and she moved up to St. George toward the begining of High School. Even though thats not far we really didnt hang out but over the past 4 or 5 years weve kept in touch and gotten together every once in a while. She's one of those friends that even though we dont talk much, when we do I feel so close to her still. Im sooo EXCITED for her and know she'll do great. Her talk was AMAZING and I felt so much Love towards her and was wondering why no guy has swept her off her feet yet =) One day!! She leaves for Hondurus (Spanish Speaking, and very poor conditions) in about 3 weeks, May 12th.

Boys/Pregnant Girls NIght Out!

Soo Jaidens has been noticabely wanting Daddies attention so Pete and I decided they needed a boys night out. Pete and Jai went to a Movie were Jaiden was spoiled with Hot dogs, soda, and Popcorn. After they went to the arcade and got Pizza. Jaiden was real excited when he got home. Rylan was a little bummed when they were going to leave but me & Him got Mcflurries from McDonalds and he was satisfied. Then Saturday I had a PREGNANT girls night out. We had one more girl to go but family was in town so she couldnt make it. Sooo we tried to figure what a bunch of pregnant girls could doo .(( Something fun, no movies, we ruled out bowling, laser tag, and some other stuff) We ended up going to eat at Red Robin and then going to King Putt for some indoor glow neon mini golf. It was a BLAST!! And pretty funny watching all these big belly women bending down as we put down/pick up our balls. THen after Golden Spoon was having a free ice cream night, so we hit up that too. It was a ton a fun!!



Me(37wks.3rd/girl) Celesital(30wk.1st/boy)Denise(26wks.1st&2nd/boy&girl, Melissa (26wks.1st,girl) Brittney (14wks.1st/?)

Induction?!?!

At my last Appt. My doctor told me he would induce me early but he wants me to get an Amniocentesis done to make sure her lungs are mature before doing so. I was pretty hesitate at the whole thought of it ans were leaning against it for a few days.. but today I up and changed my mind. Im doing it. So MOnday morning Ill have it done and by later monday well have the results. If there mature then Ill be induced the next day @ 5am. Im feeling so excited and anxious. I just hope there mature and we dont do it for nothing. So hopefully well have a baby here within a week!!

Easter/Soccer!!

Im a little behind.. Easter was a beautiful day, we slept in, woke up and have some cinnabon cinnamon rolls that we bought the night before and were off to church. Then it was off to Petes parents to relax and have some dinner.

Here I am this past weekend @ 36 weeks (Gained total of 40 lbs. so far =( . Getting huge.. everywere I go I get comments and most people think im due any day!!

Everythings been going good with the pregnancy, last check I had for her size she was measuring right on and was 5lbs. 7 oz. that was about 351/2 wks. Dr. Appt. yeasterday he said Im close to 2 dialted but not much change.


This weekend was a busy one. Ill just write about soccer. We had the boys first soccer games and they werent too far apart.. just enough time to run and grab food and come back.. but most of the games will be about 3 hr gap inbetween =( The weather was great. Jaidens game was first ( his team has 18 kids.. almost twice of what were use to, he played goalee most of the game. Im not sure its his thing. I think he really likes the feeling of making a goal and he didnt do so great. He got real board waiting back until someone brought the ball toward him ( he was paying attention to his shadow or swinging his arms around, then when they would come toward shim sometimes hed miss or we would have to yell his name to get his head in the game again. Next game they will switch and someone else will be goalee. Rylans game was at 11:15 and of course I got sunburnt but noone else in my tan family did!! Rylan did AWESOME. He is such entertainment out there. He gets soo motivated and gets right it to the ball. Ill have to video him next week. No goals this weekend but took the ball down lots and even when his team mate was going the wrong way and we were yelling turn around and that kids didn't Rylan didnt hestitate to get in and turn it around himself. Hes really good for how small he is!! I am very excited for this season. As for Daddy.. the first week my parents watched the boys and I got to watch Pete play. Its alot different than the little kids. More intense and its amazing how they so willing bump the ball off their chest or heads (there a reason im on the sidelines.. im not down for that). Then last week Pete wanted the boys to come and watch him.. although he didnt do much of that. And just as I thought.. I like watching my husband paly soccer just as much as basketball.


jaiden wating on the sidelines for his turn, happy as can be




Rylans team doing their warm up stretches (arent they so dang cute)




I had to put this picture up.. My boys just have personallity out the door and it shows in this picture!!

Watch Out Girls!! /And Funny Stuff!!

I want to post what kind of girl trouble im already antisipating from my 2 yr. old in the future.

I have 1 that hilarious and 1 that just happened yesterday @ church. Theres lots more like it too.

Last soccer season Rylan had the ball and was taking it down the field.. he was really pretty close to getting a goal when 2 (about 5 yrs. old) cute little girls walked by the field toward the park. Rylan STOPS DEAD IN HIS TRACK (looses the ball of course) and his little head follows theses girls as they walk by... Ya know.. the way thats sooo obvious he was chekcing them out. IT was HILARIOUS and half the parents were cracking up.

then yesterday at church:

Toward the end of sacrament meeting we ended up sitting in the back by Amber and Jordan. Sitting with them was there niece Chloe Lichty. Im next to Chloe and Rylans on the other side of me
Rylan: Whats he name (Holding up two fingers)
Me: Chloe
Rylan: No whats her name (Still holding up his 2 fingers and pointing to them) ** Realizinf hes asking how old
Me: Oh, how old is she?
Rylan: Yea
Me: I think shes 4 (She might be 5)
Rylan: (Very Exstatic) OH!! LIKE ME!
Me:No, shes older than you.
Rylan:I wanna say hi
Me: Ok

He then hops off his seat, stands were she can see him and says HI!! Waving his hand and smiling a little flirty smile.
He eventually sits back down.
Soon she hops up to walk over the her mom
Rylan: WERES SHE GOING? (In a worried voice)

Then just a second later she walks back and Rylan has this big ole smile on his face as he stares at her

Amber caught all this and said to me " Your in trouble"

Of course he would go for the older girls ( oh yea.. amber asked chloe if she thought Rylan was cute and she said "He has a MOHAWK" HAHA.. TOO CUTE.. I guess his mohawk is a turn off for her)



Here Jaidens Funny stuff yesterday>>

Right when we get home from Church Jaiden decides he wants to pee his pants just as were getting the changed out of the church clothes (i know, I know hes 4.. and NO, this is NOT normal.. he hasnt peed his pants in who know how long) So I told him to take off his wet clothes and go wipe down his no peed on legs.

He comes back butt naked (He is Very Compfortable naked, I dont know why) and point to his pee pee.
Jaiden: MOM!! Hes in BIG trouble
Me: Why?
Jaiden: Cause he PEED all in my pants
Me: Well dont you control you Pee Pee?
Jaiden: NO!! My Pee Pee CONTROLS ME!!

HAHA!! I had to tell Pete this one>.. I told him hes raising a typical guy (Enough Said =) )

Ready for the Beach!!

I wish I would have gotten a picture of this .. but heres the story!!


**Our boys have been asking about going to California were their cousins live. We told them we cant go till after the baby is here. We told them we will go to the beach too.

Yesterday Rylan found his lifejacket from last year. He took off his shirt, put on his lifejacket, swim trunks, flip flops and even sunglasses.
Rylan: Ready to go to the beach
Me: We have to wait till sisters here
He leaves the room and comes back a few minutes later with an ultrasound picture of her face
Rylan: Ive got sister, ready to go to the beach!

I thought it was too cute.

Easter Party!!

Yesterday we had a Easter Party at Grandmas house with the cousins, and some!! (Some of the cousins brought their other cousins and then my mom brought over a few kids from the ward) I think we had about 20 kids. We played a few games, ate lunch, and did an egg hunt. My neice Jade turns 2 tommorrow so we celebrated her birthday and had cupcakes too. It was alot more hectic than I imagined.. even with 9 adults. Once they were done with the egg hunt everyone went home. It was a fun, short, crazy party!!
Me 341/2wks. Celestial 271/2 wks

Heres just a cute picture of how the boys are all about daddy when he comes home (who can be closer =) )

Boring Blog!!

I feel like I have nothing to blog about lately. Ive been stuck mostly at home and dont get out much (I cant wait for changes). But I guess the boys in my life have gone on having fun wihtout me =) and I should post a little about that. Petes been staying busy, he plays Basketball 2 days a week with friends and started soccer one night a week also this past week. Ill put pictures up this coming week im sure. My boys are loving their soccer practices as well and this week I fianlly get to go watch!! My Sister Celestial who has been watching my kids during the day has been doing lots of fun things with my boys and with the nice weather. They've been lucky to have her, cause Im not much fun lately!! Heres so pictures of the boys this past week.
Their Decorated Easter Eggs they dyed with Leshal this morning
Little Pirates!!
I came home from work to find my son with a bandaged eye. Leshal said he insisted on having it.. And then I believed her when he wouldn't let me take it off for a FULL 2 days. I dont know how it didnt make him crazy.
We went to a friends house for a BBQ last weekend and the boys had fun with the mini golf!
Rylan having fun on his bike while Jaiden was at his Priamry Activity.

Pregnancy!!

29 weeks


33 weeks

Everything is continuing to go steady and well. My heart was pounding pretty hard about every other day. I mentioned it to my doctor and he took me off the procardia (Stuff helping sotp contractions) That night I had quite a bit of contractions but they werent close enough to be to concerned and they eventually went away. Today I saw my OBGYN. Not much has changed with my cervix.. so Hes really not too concerned with me being on bedrest anymore! HURRAY!! Ill still be taking it easy, just not too easy! Heres two pictures to updaye how Im looking lateley. Im 34 weeks and 2 days but the last picture I took was 33 weeks. Im feeling pretty uncomfortable. This morning Pete woke up and said how great he slept.. I told him how I slept " LIKE CRAP" I swear I woke up like 10 x's from a dream of me in labor only to find myself in my own dang bed =( Not cool. Im just soo anxious for her to be hear. Even though I technically have about 51/2 weeks left, I feel like the end is HERE. I mean since 24 weeks I thought she would be very early (So im thankful thats not the case, but its not helping with the waiting).

More Pregnancy!!

So Monday I went to my OBGYN. He did the Beta Strep test already just in case I deliver early and he also checked my cervix. He said im about 75% effaced and he a finger slipped in my cervix so i was atleast 1 cent. dialated, possibly more but he didnt want to probe around to see because all that stuff can just make it all happen faster. So Ill see him back in 2 weeks since im going to the perinatologist every week. So today I went to the perinatologist.. I was anxious to see if the 75% effaced is were ive been (since I have an abnormally short cervix) or if change was starting to happen. Im kinda confused by it all, he looks at if from the inside were OBGYN looks at it from the outside, they cant tell if im even dialated by ultrasound untill my cervix is gone. So by my understanding the perinatlogist is measuring whats there, and the OBGYN when they say your effacing is measuring whats NOT there. Its confusing. Either way.. once agian im pretty steady.. a little shorting and little more funneling but not much. Kadence hair was hanging down into the funnel which was fun to see and her eyes were open for a few seconds! They did montioring and NO contractions during it. So I think I just might make it to my goal of atleast 2 more weeks, the doctor set his goal. After that maybe ill set anohter goal for a week or two. They also did another fetal fibronectin test (ill get results later today) so if its negative big chance I wont deliver in next two weeks, if its positive it doesnt nessecarily mean that I will though.


* On a differnent note , I LOVE all this baby stuff. As much as Pete could watch basketball all day long, I could watch baby deliverys on TV ALL DAY long. I wish TLC and Discovery Health played that and only that constantly. Im completely amazing by it all. One day I WILL go back to school to either be a RN and be in delivering babies with doctors, or be an Ultrasound Technician. I LOVE all of that kind of stuff. Im pretty sure my kids already understand were a babies comes out because all the shows I watch =/ Im not really one to hide the truth and dont think It doesnt much harm to them to KNOW as long as they dont SEE how it happens. Jaiden HAS already asked how the baby gets out and I told him through the privates. =) Some of you probably thinks thats crazy but I dont. I figure why beat around the bush. He just said ok and dropped it.

Soccer! Soccer! and More Soccer!!

Ok.. so Ive never have been a huge fan or soccer. But when its my boys playing, its a different story. So we put the boys in soccer Spring and Fall and skip out on winter and summer (the weathers just to extreme for that) So soccer season was approching and Pete and I talked about what the plan was since now our boys will be on different teams because of the differnet ages they are now. (Which means 2 different practice days and two different times on Saturdays for games). Plus add a brand new baby into the mix>> I wasnt loving the idea. BUT, Pete won on this one.. we couldnt choose which boy got to play this season and who sat out.. and for Pete it wasnt an option to have noone play (Plus, we really do enjoy the quality family time it brings). Pete told me he would be incharge of soccer and that it would help me out once the babies here Id have those nights to myself with her.. and I appreciate that, BUT .. I would feel horrible, I mean its been a FAMILY thing all along and then I feel they would resent the baby because now that shes here its not.. So once Im off bedrest and shes here well all be going to it all!! To top off the busy soccer schedule Pete is doing a co-ed adult soccer league with some friends Thursdays. Ive never seen him play soccer, so well see how good he is. But since the stake basketball tournament is over this will be fun for him. And im sure the boys will totally love watching their daddy do what they love to do.

So by the end of this soccer season im sure Ill be ready for the summer break but Heres to anohter fun filled, busy soccer season!! Youll be seeing lots of pictures once I get them!!

Changes!!

Over the past little bit and in the next little bit were having lots of changes happen.

For starters Pete switched Jobs. He was at Cal Air and has now been at T Brothers Tile for 2 weeks now. So far hes liking it and he needed a change of pace. Were both real excited for him.

For about the past 5 months My sister Crystal was at our house watching our boys. The plan was for her to continue watching the kids once the baby was here, but plans change and she was ready for a change of pace to (Keep in mind, crystla is the sister who watched Jaiden when I went back to work when Jai was 6 months and up unitll we put the boys in daycare when Rylan was 9 months, so Thanks Crystal for all the help).I would just stay home now but since Im suppose to be relaxing and our medical bills already our pretty outrageous already (Im working to pay for babysitting and bills).. Celestial has stepped in and is watching the boys until I deliver this baby. Then the plan is for me to stay home with the kids!! I couldnt be happier !! (Ill work a little at night and on Saturdays for some extra income for the time being)

So those are 3 pretty big changes if you ask me .. new job, stay at home mom, and new baby!! But were excited for it all and hope everything works out great!!

Steady Cervix!!

Some of you may be getting bored so feel free to skip this post.. I just want to be able to read back at how things went this pregnancy just because, or IF we decide on more kids, I will have this problem in future pregnancy!!


Soo. I had my check up on my cervix today, and will continue having htem weekly until I deliver. Tommorrow I hit the 32 week mark!! (I remember at 24 wks praying Id make atleast 28 weeks.. look how far weve made it) My cervix is STILL at a 1.5 which is same as last week and a few weeks prior always.. Which is great. Although I still have the same amount of funneling, but its all steady. I am still taking my progestrone suppositories nightly and am on the procardia (uterine relaxer, to stop contractions) every 6 hrs. Ill continue the progestron till 35 weeks but the procardia till 36 weeks. BUT .. heres the good news, After 35 weeks Im OFF of BEDREST!!! Because since shes had the steroids, if I deliver they technically consider that term. He said at 35 weeks with steroids theres a 90-95% chance she'll come right on home with me and not even need the nicu...SO thats 3 more weeks people. I cant wait. Im soo thankful Ive made it this far because even if she were born now, shed be ok. He said I COULD go term.. but he doubts it. So before to long my Kadence will be here!! Till next week ... =)

Welcome Alyssa Taylor Sanders

My brother Gary and his wife Lindseys little sweet daughter arrived last Thursday March 12th!! Since im not allowed to be moving all around they were awesome enough to bring her to us Sunday!! She was precious as can be! I know the boys loved her and were soo excited holding her. They were actually really good taking turns and being nice. They did try tuching her face lots though, Who can resist when there soo tiny =). Seeing the boys with her got me excited for our little one but also a little more nervous>>> This will be a WHOLE new experience with two rambuxious little boys to keep an eye on with her around as the last time I had a newborn Jaiden was 17 months (they were close but Jaiden didnt bother Rylan too much).

Pregnancy/Cervix/Steroids

Ok.. lets back track a little, 2 weeks ago at my appt they found that my cervix had gone from a 2.5 to a 1.5.. (2.5 is when they put me on bedrest because normal is 3-5) also they found they I am funneling (Imagine a funel and thats what I look like) dialating you open from the bottom, funneling you open from the top. Soo they told me I needed to be taking it even easy than I had been. I was told on my back for 23/24 hrs a day. So I had an appt set for this morning for follow up BUT two days ago I was having quite a lot of cramping and sharp pains in my stomach ( but they were constant so I didnt think it was normal contractions were they start and stop.. but I still went in to get checked out) the doctor was out but theY put me on the monitor and I wasnt having contractions, also they did a vaginal swab thing that test fro a protein your body releases 2 weeks before you go into labor, that came back negative. I went back today to see Dr. My cervix and funneling is steady since 2 weeeks ago which is great news but still very short.. Baby is doing great.. shes 3lbs. 8oz now and we saw a little hair on her head =) (My favorite part of today). But dr. says I WILL deliver early its just a matter of how early.. So I got a steroid shot today and Lucky me gets to go back for another at the hospital tommorrow. It was probably the worst shot I ever had.. Burned and was in me for like a whole 2-3 minutes =( but Im glad I got it for the baby.. He said it helps produce a cell that babies usually get around 35 weeks (Im 31 tommorrow).. It helps with lung developement but also something in the brain, helps the intestines and if the babies born if helps with infections >. All kinds of good stuff!! Soo It looks as though I wont have her in next two weeks per that test but after that I guess well see how things continue to go.

Maternity Pictures!!

Go to http://imagesbykrys.blogspot.com/ to see a sneak peak of our photo shoot this past Saturday. Im 30 weeks exactly in them and LOVED the way they turned out. Also, you'll see the name we decided on (Or my husband gave into =) ) No she doesnt hate me by showing off my stretch marls.. I told her to show the before and after so anyone who might let that hold them back, WONT. Thats why we go to the proffesionals. We took some with Pete and the boys too so Im sure Ill post those once I get them. And these are only a FEW of all the great ones she took.
