WE are coming to UTAH!!

2009-10-12T10:56:00.001-07:00

Hey guys we are coming to Utah in two weeks and I can not wait! we are coming in on Tuesday the 20th. We will be in Idaho Falls the 21st and Twin Falls the 22 and back to Utah the 23. It is going to be so much fun! I miss Utah so much. I would really like to get together with everyone up there. I talked to my cousin Megan and she said she that we could get together at her house for a big family get together I would love to see everyone. Let me know what nights work best for you so we can plan it. Maybe like a pot luck or something like games. The only bummer of the whole trip is I have to stay with the In laws I guess Ill have to get over it. Other then that things are going great. Logan just talks up a storm, he loves singing with me it is so cute. He also Loves me reading books to him, he got mad at me the other day when I stoped he likes to just sit there and see the pictures and hear my voice. He still is not sleeping through the night but is getting way better. It is mainly my fault but I am working on not having to have him right next to me. We took him of dairy a couple of months ago and This weekend I wanted to see if he out grow it and if I maybe Prematurely took him off. Well within 24 hours of putting him back on the dairy he had blood in his stool and back to a really fussy baby...So back to soy and he is back to being Happy. Has anyone had to use soy? It makes Logan have a very hard time going to the bathroom , and his stools are so BIG not kidding like the size of a golf ball no messy diapers for me (is great but I feel bad for Logan cause it hurts him) Ian calls them Soy balls. Dr. said to put brown sugar in the Formula but I have noticed it helping any suggestions? Other then his stools hurting him he is doing great and getting way big. Hope to see all my Utah Friends in a couple of weeks!

2 Month

2009-09-17T22:17:00.000-07:00

Logan had his two month check up and shots. He was a big boy and only cried for a second and when he got handed back to me he just snuggled and stopped crying. He did real well the rest of the day as well. I do have to admit I spoil him just a little :) but can you really spoil a baby. I love that I get to stay home and give him all my attention. We kinda had a rough start. He would scream for 13 hours and sleep for only like an hour at a time. I did not know what to do it was WAY hard. Finally one night late my mom came out to help and noticed that 10 min after I feed him is when he would do this freak out thing he used to do. He would scream and shake it was horrible. She said that is what Jaime (my sister) would do. I enjoyed breastfeeding him, some people have a hard time with this but I was doing fine. But, I saw what was going on so I decided that we would see what would happen if I took him off my milk. after a couple of weeks of trying different things we put him on Soy milk and it was a complete change and new little boy over night. It takes two weeks to detox your body of milk so I started the Journey of NO milk. It was not as bad as I thought it would be but the pumping was hard to keep up on. SO after the two weeks Logan like the laziness of the bottle and I lost my milk. I really wish I could feed him 1ST because it is SOOO good for him and also it was going to help with money. But I he is a happy little boy and I am a happy Mommy!:) He still is not sleeping real well through the night but I will take that over the screaming any day. Now he just wakes up and I feed him and he goes back to sleep.
back to his appointment.. He is following in his Dads footsteps. He is 23.8 IN and 12 lbs 9.2 oz. That puts him in the 75%. he was 22.2 in 10lbs1.9oz on his one month and his one week he was 7lbs 4.8. I know a lot of information but its been a while.
here are some Pictures to enjoy!

RATED "R"

2009-07-01T17:51:00.001-07:00

So here are some pictures of me a couple of weeks ago. My mom says they are rated R and I should not post them... I on the other hand love my prego body. ( I wont post ALL of them just some I think are fine)

***UPDATE***
So as you can see with the counter that I am due in 6 days... Well Its going to be sooner then that. I am on my way to the hospital in like a half hour. Last week I brook out in a Major Rash (I guess prego people get this in the ninth month) It sucked My whole body was bleeding because i could not stop itching my self. I went to the Doctor and I guess this rash is a sign that your Liver could be failing. SO I took a blood test to see how everything is. In the mean time my body did not want to kick start its self into the whole labor process so On Monday morning I had to go sit in the Hospital for 2 hours. they had to monitor the baby and put something in my cervix to help start it...If I did not start this I would have to have a c-section and we all know that is my biggest fear I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE to go through that again. Well in mean time Test came back good but my blood pressure is getting a little high and Because I still do have the rash they want to get the baby out. So I went in again to the hospital today for 2 hours had another little pill up me and then I go into night at 9. They will give me some stronger stuff and they have to monitor the baby b/c his heart beat is dropping and this stuff they give me could kick me in labor and they want me there. Then in the morning if this is all working and my body is thinning and starting Dilate They will induce me. If it does not work and they induce they will have to do a c-section. Long story I hope you got it all I only had a min to type and I know the spelling is Horrible. ALL in ALL Everything is fine. I love my DOC he is amazing! I will post pictures as soon as I can. WISH ME LUCK!

The TOUR

2009-06-05T19:22:00.000-07:00

On Tuesday we took the hospital tour. It was fun going and seeing where it all goes down. It made me real exited to have Little man come. I am getting really anxious I can not wait to see his personality, what he looks like, and the fact that he will not be kicking my ribs any more is a perk too. As much as I LOVED my doctor and the Hospital in Utah I was with before the move its fun because I get to deliver were I was born and of course HE WILL BE A TEXAN!
Here is the delivery room I would love to Deliver in..

This room is the dream recovery room

or this one

It could be worse

I guess this is the room that will do

As long as I don't have a 10 lbs baby I will be fine. My friend had her baby and it was 9lbs 22 inch long and came a week early! I sure hope I don't go late... have you seen my husband I am a little worried.
Other then that I am doing great. My hands are getting swollen and it hurts to grasp/hold anything, my ankles really have not got big I thought they would but i guess my hands are taking it all. I told Ian I put my self on bed rest because he is so heavy on my pelvic bone that it hurts so bad to walk/stand and if I do its to the rest room. Ian is so good to me he just laughs and plays along. He rubs my feet and back like every night. I am so lucky he is so good to me. I cant wait to see him with the baby he is going to be a great dad! I am just a little worried about me being a good mom:)

A new Background

2009-06-02T11:23:00.001-07:00

I am so HAPPY! Its still not as cute as some pepes but I FINALLY figured out how to get my background changed and add some fun stuff! I have not been sleeping much lately so I was able to spend a couple of hours reading and playing with the blog and here you have it a new background...Now all I have to do is remember to update it:)Does anyone even still Look at it? Once baby comes I will have more in my life to blog about.

BaBY Shower

2009-05-17T18:26:00.000-07:00

I have had two Amazing showers the past month. One in Utah and one in Texas. My mom and Me drove to Utah a month ago and had a great time, I really miss Utah. And then some of my friends gave me a shower in Arlington. They were both so much fun and Little man got a lot of cute outfits and fun things to do.
Here our some picture from the Texas shower( the Utah shower for some reason I look fat and bad so I am still deciding if i will post any from that one):)

2009-04-19T21:39:00.000-07:00

So Ian could not wait until my belly button would start to become "an outty" Well its not there yet but any day now its going to pop. I kept telling him that it was not going to happen to me but I think I am wrong. I have a couple of scares on/around and they are defiantly stretched. One from surgery when i was in High school and another from back in the day you know when belly piercing where cool (where they really that cool?) either way Its coming out... And so AM I!Its fun filling him move and interact with mine and Ian's hands touching my tummy. The other day you could see his little body pocking out over on one side So Ian but his hand there and they started to play. Ian would put his hand there and he would kick and then they just kept playing back and forth. It really started to hurt me I am not kidding I was sore there the next day. And then tonight Ian went to kiss baby good night and he kicked him right in the face It was funny. Things are going great. I am crazy busy getting ready for my drive to Utah!! Its going to be long I wonder how many potty breaks we are going to have to make. I cant wait to see my Friends and Fam. Everyone keeps asking me what my Baby Theme is but I really don't have one. I am not much on the whole baby stuff. So here is a picture of what I am using. It is not that great of a picture sorry. Its mainly just stripes poka dots and argyle. I am throwing in a classic football and basketball print in the quilt for the bed. That's right I am because me and my mom are sewing the crib set. I did not like anything i Saw in the stores so I am doing it with help from my mom. I can not wait to see the finished project. And just for peps who want to see how I look a picture of me. I did not gain any wait from day one to 7 months (I lost a lot in the First tri) But in the last week I gained 10 pounds a whole new story I will fill you in when i get results back. but for know Enjoy the Picture.

What a week

2009-03-18T20:19:00.000-07:00

Last week Me and Ian celebrated our 2 years together. It has gone by so fast. I cant believe its been two years. I don't feel old enough to be married for two years let a lone be pregnant. But I guess I am going on 26 and its OK that I am pregnant and married. We went out to eat last Saturday to Simply Fondue (its like melting pot) It was good but not the melting pot I wish we would have made the drive out to Dallas, It would have cost the same and we would have gotten a better meal. But it was fun, Ian had never done that kind of eating out, and he enjoyed it.

One our actual anniversary day we went to Burger Street for some good hamburgers and fries, then walked around Lowe's ( I love doing that) and got some Ice cream from the best Ice cream places Braums. And then went home and called it a night. I know sounds like so much fun.

The reason why we walked around Lowe's is we put an offer on a house. And it need some work so we where looking at the paint we would use and all new appliances. But we found out Monday that they did not accept our bid:( I thought we offered good we did not ask for less then the asking price, but when you deal with a foreclose i guess this is the game we had to play. It sucked waiting but I guess we are supposed to live somewhere else, I feel real good about that. I really did like the place and wanted it but I just don't feel sad which really makes me feel like we are supposed to live somewhere else.

Last but not least, Baby news... Last week I spent 4 hours at Harris hospital out in Ft. Worth my amazing mother came with me so the wait was not to bad. I thought it would be like a quick appt. but boy was I wrong. I had to go out to him because he specialises in High risk pregnancy. After 4 hours I found out I am not at high risk. Why did I have to go you ask...
Well when you fill out the whole family background thing when you first go to a doctor You have to put all your close family info, Well My mom had a baby die at 6 weeks due to heart problems, So I really did not think much about it my sister has had 5 babes(don't worry I will not have that many) and all of them where fine in fact the doctor never even checked one that. But my doctor wanted to play it safe and sent me to the specialist. I guess it really did not hit me until i was there that there could have been something wrong with little man. But all is well I have a healthy baby and everything looks great. I was neat having the doctor go through the whole baby's parts and measuring in debt everything to make sure he was growing right, much more detail then what you would normally get. But it was fun i saw him open and shut his mouth a couple of times.

Anyways long post but her is a picture of my belly.

So I really Need Help

2009-03-02T15:43:00.000-08:00

I Have been trying to change my background for like a Half hour and it wont take. Kristen I need your help again. I know you told me like 6 months ago how to do. I am doing exactly what it is telling me to do. add gadget copy past save you know the whole thing. I really just need some one to sit down with me and do it for me. Maybe one day I will learn. Until then you don't get to see the cute back ground I picked to announce What I am having sorry. but, I guess I will still let you know.......

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!!! he is 1 pound 2 oz and 10 Inches. I can not get a very good picture of the pictures they gave me but who can really tell on most of them any way. But all looks good!

ABOUT time Update

2009-02-26T18:45:00.000-08:00

So i know its been a while.(sorry) I will try to make this short...but don't count on it. There is a lot to fill you in on.
First,
We moved to Texas the week of Christmas. What a move that was. It turned into a blizzard the whole drive down. What would normally take 20 hours took us 36 hours. We are so grateful that we made it safe and for members of the church who opened their home and let Me, Ian and my little brother stay at their house in New Mexico.
Ian got a great job working for Frito Lay. Its a great company and he seems to be enjoying it. He as to get up at 2:00am so he stays pretty tired. But it is going to make it that I will not have to get a full time job and can stay home!!!

Why would I want to stay home???? Well the BIG NEWS... After taking Two test and the last 3 months of having a date with Mr. Toilet, Being so tired, and can not stand the smell of anything... I AM PREGNANT!!! WE are so happy. It was not an easy road getting here, and know that we are it is so SCARY! I told my mom the other day that I am not old enough/ready for a baby she said "Emily, Your 25 I had 2 kids by then. I guess I am not so young to have a kid. It is scary but I am way excited.
I am due on July 8th. On Monday we find out if it is a girl/boy. I can not wait to start shopping(maybe I should go get a job so I can get all I want:)
Just when the Throwing up ended and I was felling much better... My tummy Popped. Everyone has been asking for picture but i really have not been showing. But in the last 2-4 days I just Popped and It does not fell very good (VERY doable over the throwing up) So here is the Picture...I will keep you posted.
Hope you enjoyed this random all over the place update. Let me know how all you guys are doing!

Things a changing

2008-12-03T14:44:00.000-08:00

So Here is the BIG update... It all started 3 months ago when Ian and I where fishing in the Bountiful lake. One the way home I said we should drive by the our house:) (its just down the street) Now normally he would have just said sure but this night he goes well we need to talk. Talk, I think, OK, talk, Ian "no I need to talk when we get home." So he kinda talked alittle on the drive home. But when we got home he told me that he felt real strong that we need to move to Texas sooner then later. Now if you knew the story he told me when we got married that we would never move to Texas. It was to hot. So when he told me everything i knew that we really need to Move. It is better sweet. I love Texas and i miss home so much. But i also like a lot of things about Utah and being close to Family. I also was really looking forward to getting our new townhouse and also i had kinda expected living in Utah. I also like being away from things in my own little life up here. But i am also so glad to be close to my mom and Friends and Family.
So good bye Utah..... Hello Texas!

2008-10-07T12:11:00.000-07:00

So i guess its been a long time so i will fill you in on what we have been up to. We went to Dallas 2 weeks ago for my nephews birthday. We always love going and seeing all the kids. The cake was awesome it was R2D2 and it tasted so yummy. Let see oh we went to the Body Worlds is was neat. I don't know much about the human body as Far as looking at muscle and blood vessels so to me after seeing one it was all the same. I did see some cool things so I am glad I went. We went to St. George last weekend to vist Ians Brother one last time. While Ian and Ben went to the Men's session, my sister and law and I Tried to make these Mini Carmel apple. We where not that successful but we had a fun time. I will post a couple of picture. We did get a few that looked semi decent. The Carmel kept melting off. Anyways we just have been real busy with Moving and Ian having Two jobs and full time school, and me working two jobs. Amy way hope all is well with everyone in Blogger Land.

Ian went Fishing with his brohter on Saturday and got a huge one. Isnt Ian so cute?

Ian+BEE= LOVE

2008-09-05T15:29:00.000-07:00

When we were moving a couple of weeks ago Ian got bit by a bee and his ankle got so big. Yesterday while he was at work he got bit again this time on the arm it made him real sick and I had to take him to the doctor. They gave him this shot and some meds and said "take it easy". Ian hates Doctors so when he called and told me we should go i knew we needed to. Needless to say Ian is Way allergic and the bees love him.

JAW

2008-08-28T09:44:00.000-07:00

So i had my Jaw Drained Last Thursday. Everything went well. They put me under so i did not fell anything. I woke up with feeling like i had a tight jaw but really no pain. I was just way sleepy. I start PT next week, they say it will be 11/2 hours the first time...WHAT could you possibly do with your jaw for an hour and half!!! but if it will make it better i am all for it. Wish me luck
