Absolutely perfect!

Well I don't even know where to start, life has been absolutely crazy these past few weeks! I went into pre term labor a few weeks ago which is soo normal for me, I was hoping to avoid it this time around but no such luck. So usually I take my terbutilane pills and am on slight bed rest, well that didn't work so we went to full bed rest which you know is sooo easy when you have 3 very active boys running around! We have had so many amazing friends and family members swoop in and pick up all the pieces for us, dinners coming in, carpools taken care of and between my mom and Ryan, kids and house in 1 piece. Ryan has been unreal, he gets up gets all the boys ready for school gets Cole gone, Crew to the bus and then he and Cash head off to who ever is watching Cash for us that day. Then around 2 Cash is brought home and my mom shows up to take care of the rest of the day and Crew and Cole coming home from school. It is soooo hard to not be able to be their for my family, it makes me sick to my stomach, I miss them sooo much, even though I see them I feel like I am not with them, kinda hard to explain. So back to being on bed rest, I started having more contractions one night and started to time them, at this point I was 33 weeks that day. I had been to the Dr and was not dilated and doing good just needed to stay down. So anyhow Sandi had called and I told her what was going on and so she said she was coming over to watch the boys so Ryan and I could head to the hospital, which I was not going to do because I was convinced they were going to go away and I would be fine, well she came over and between her and Ryan they convinced me to go to the hospital, so off we went. Sandi came w me so Ryan could stay w the boys, I new we would be home quick and Ryan is not the biggest fan of the hospital, don't blame him! They got me right in, checked me and to my surprise I had gone from nothing to a 3 and a half and 60 percent effaced in just a few hours! Crap! I guess this was not going to be quick, so they admitted me, UGH! I was their wed thru Sunday and it was the scariest most miserable days ever!!! They put me on magnesium which is absolutely horrible it makes you feel like you have fire running thru your veins and it relaxes your entire body to where you can barely function, it was horrible!! I couldn't even watch TV I was soo miserable, so I just layed their and prayed for this little baby to stay put. By Sunday they had gotten my contractions under control and switched me to a terbutilane pump, it was a little machine that went into my stomach and constantly gave me my meds, this way I was able to go home, YIPEEEE! Still felt like you know what but at least I was in my bed now. I am sooo thankful for my amazing husband and boys, for Sandi and Ben for taking care of my kiddos and getting Crew to all of his football practices, my sis for taking my kids and making them feel loved, my mom for doing the same and also keeping my house running! My mother in law Patti has been amazing helping whenever needed and Rhonda and Steve for taking Crew, Cole and Cash to Crews football games and then spoiling them completely! They love it! I wish I could name everyone but I can't so just know I am beyond thankful for the love and support we have received. We need to get in another week and a half to get her to a good point and then she can come, we are almost there hopefully my body will cooperate!!

Quick little trip!

We were able to take a fun last little trip to Vegas before our new little buba arrives. It was sooo relaxing and an absolute blast! Like I have said before our Vegas trips are not what you typically think of Vegas, We shop, eat, sleep in, get massages, eat some more, and lay by the pool. Just completely relaxing and fun! Lisa and Bob Gunnell went with us and we always have such a good time with them! It also looks like we went on this trip just in time, one week later the contractions started and I am now out for the count for about 4 more weeks now. Oh I can't wait to get this little girl here, safe and sound!


30 1/2 weeks

I am soo behind!!

I probably shouldn't post these two pics but I had to they are unreal! Thank goodness this was my belly with Cash, look at that thing it is hanging!!!! This belly alot better, thank gooodnessss!! Just a reminder to myself:) All done!

Ryan and I at dinner with my fam in cali, 6 months prego.
Wow, I am sooo behind on post's and so sad that there are soo many fun moments I have not captured this summer, I wish I only felt good enough to blog a little more. Hopefully once this little bubba comes I will be able to be a little better about keeping up on my blog. Probably not, but I will sure try. I am almost 30 weeks now!!! Yipeee we are getting closer and I am beyond excited to met this baby girl! If this is like my others I've got no more than 6 weeks left,max, I have not thought much of it but as I was trying to nap after church today I could not fall asleep all of a sudden it hit me I really don't have much longer and could end up on bed rest any day! Holy Crap!! Too much still left to do and not much time I need to get a move on it, ASAP! This part now you don't need to read its for me and like I have said before I tend to forget how not fun my pregnancies are, a few months after I have a baby all I can remember is that my belly was so cute and I felt amazing and that look and this end result we should have another! Ummmmmmm Wrong!!! Well the end result part is right but the rest, nope not so right, funny how we tend to forget things:) Not so fun pregnancy is an understatement and if it can go wrong while I am pregnant it will! My mom always says I like to do things the hard way and boy is she right!! Like I said I am going on 30 weeks and still have horrible headaches, I have these lovely veins in my right leg that are the biggest, ugliest, and most painful things ever, they are disgusting and they continue up my leg into a really fun area! Can you say PAINFULL! I wear a supportive stocking on my leg every day and if its not put on right when I get out of bed I can't make it down the hall way without about falling over. I was standing in the kitchen the other day and my stocking was in the wash, well Ryan walked in and was freaking out, hurry, hurry, go put that thing on your leg that is disgusting!!! Thanks babe, Love you too. I Started early contractions which is normal so terbutilane here I come, I am not too fond of that stuff but if it keeps this buba in then I will take it. And now my latest fun pregnancy side effect, siadic nerve, probably spelled that wrong, oh well any how never had that with any of my others. What the heck! I am sooo not complaining, just a little reminder to my self. I am soo thankful for this pregnancy and soo thankful I am almost done.

Good Morning!

I couldn't resist taking this picture. Cash was happy as can be eating his cereal and watching his morning cartoons. Tooo Cute, love that little bum!

We took our annual summer trip to Ocean Side California, and had a blast! It was a little cold this year but didn't stop us from having fun. We headed out to Disneyland one day and Sea world another, it was so much fun. Ryan and I love taking our boys to these places it is so neat to watch them get so excited over everything! Cash was amazing and loved every second of it, but leave it up to me to forget my camera for his first trip to Disneyland and also Sea World!! His expressions at the Shamu show were priceless and I have no pics, I am soo bumbed. Anyways it was a great trip as always, walking down to get hot chocolate every morning, eating peach pie from Marie calendars and shopping at the outlets, I look forward to it all every year and am so thankful for the fun tradition my family has kept going for so many years.
Cole coming in from catching a wave, the water was freeeezing I have no idea how they did it! They didn't seem to mind though, I guess I am just a big wimp.
I was dying over his little wet suit it was soooo cute I could hardly stand it. Not to many cute pics though he was not wanting to cooperate:(
This little man did not want me to take his picture, every time I would ask him to look or say cheese I got yelled at! I had to be sneaky to get any pics of him, little stinker!
How handsome is my Crewser, so studly in his wet suit!
Soo cute! Cash and Ellie hanging at the beach.
