Good News!!!

So just thought I would do a quick update! I went to the dr. this morning and I'm about a 3 1/2 but he told me christmas day and after I can go back to doing whatever I want!!!!! I can go off my meds too! I can't even tell you how excited I am! So two more days of staying down but I can take the kids to a movie christmas day, make dinner, clean, and anything else I or Scott(hehe) want to do! The funniest is, I don't care if the baby takes three weeks after that! I can just be ME! I know there are so many women that are put on bedrest for months and my 2 1/2 weeks is nothing but for me it was torture!

I almost forgot, so Scott and the kids got in a car accident yesterday(not his fault luckily)! Jax got a big bump under his eye and Ellie(who had taken off her seatbelt 0hhhhh!) just bruised up her back. BUT...Scott hurried and brought the kids home and had to go back to the accident to wait for the cops and there was no way I was not taking them to the dr to get checked! I looked so scary but its funny how all care of ourselves goes out the window when are children are hurt! When I got home and looked at myself in the mirror I about died!!!(who cares that I'm supposed to be on bedrest and I'm out driving around..lol!) I'm sure they took one look at me and thought, "CRAZY MOM!" They are fine and I think it scared them more then anything so all is well but I thought it was hilarious so I had to share....

Another round at the hospital!!!!

So ended up in the hospital during the night in full blown labor AGAIN! Part of me just wants to get him here so that I can stop going to the hospital and getting those awful shots! OUCH! I just have to make it a little longer and be better about staying down! The torture for me is not only am I having that nesting feeling where I want my house perfect for the baby but its christmas and I want things perfect for christmas too! Ahhhhh! I found an awesome cleaning service to come clean my house for now! Its so worth it....Keep praying he stays in for awhile longer and that I don't lose my mind in the process!

Doctor appt....

Went to the dr. yesterday and I am dialated to a 3 and the baby's head is pretty far down but I'm still hoping to hold out a little longer! The Dr. said if I could make it 8 more days then that would be awesome! I'm thinking 2 days beyond that would be best because 8 days is christmas eve! Thank you to everyone for the food, treats, and just care and concern. I'm so emotional right now with everything going on and worrying about the baby and it truely means so much to me that so many people have reached out to help our family, especially at such a busy time of year! love you all!

AAAAH Bedrest!!!

So I went into labor on Sunday and went to the hospital where they were able to slow my contractions with medication and sent me home on bedrest until the baby comes! I am going crazy but trying to do whats best for my baby boy... I went into labor again tuesday night and so they have now doubled my medication and I am trying so hard to stay down! The Dr. says if I can keep him in my belly until 36 weeks then more then likely he would come home with me and not need the nicu but if he comes before then his nicu stay would probably be only a few weeks with no permanant damage to him. I'm doing all my christmas shopping online and watching alot of TV, reading, and playing games on my ipod!

Introducing my new Niece...

I forgot my camera when I went to Idaho to see my new niece this weekend so these are taken with a Camera phone but she is so beautiful! 3 weeks early, she weighed 6lbs 8oz and 191/2 " long. She has no name yet but a full head of hair! You can't even see her scalp! It made me sooo excited for my own baby! I doubt mine will be so small( jax was 3 weeks early and weighed 8'4) but it will be so fun to have a little one around again! Congrats Holly, Jim, and family!

Yellowstone Park

We just spent 4 day in Yellowstone and it was beautiful weather! Scott and I had not been since we were kids so it was great to go and see our children experience it! We saw so many animals! Buffalo, elk, deer, birds of every kind, and many others!

I'm a teacher now!!

I'm sad I didn't get a picture of how handsome Jesse was in his new suit and Hair done(mom's way)haha! This picture is after he was ordained a teacher and we had dinner with our families at the park behind our house. Notice in the picture jesse still has his dark church socks on and his BYU shirt that grandpa Willis bought him the day before at the UCLA/BYU game and a pair of Camo shorts! I laughed so hard but honestly he doesn't really care! As long as he has clean clothes, he could care less about fashion! I am so proud of him and the decisions he is making. He and his friends went to their first stake dance and he danced with girls!!! I feel so old! He is trying so hard to make good choices and is always the first to church to make sure he is fulfilling his priesthood duties. He lays in bed every night reading the new era's, ensign's, and friend. If we want to read them then we know we have to go to his room to find them. So far having a teenager has been fun!( you might need to remind me of this in a few years! lol) His friends are at our house constantly, playing rockband in the theater! Jesse is lead singer and it is hilarious! You couldn't pay me to sing on that game! It sounds like I have a rockband practicing in my basement and makes my whole house vibrate! Jesse, I love you so much and you are such a great example to your brother's and sisters and your family!

Jax's first day of preschool..

Scott took the pictures so they aren't maybe the best but here is on his way to school in dads jeep and then giving his teacher his very first homework! My others were so excited to do homework for the first time but I had to fight Jax to color his! I think he has heard his brothers and sisters complain to much about homework so in his head he KNOWS homework isn't a good thing! He loves school and hanging out with all his friends and mom likes the little break twice a week..:)

My Camera was found!!!

Just a quick note... I thought I had dumped my camera in a dumpster in the Uinta's but my husband found it in one of his jacket pockets! Yeah Iwas so happy! My pictures for 3 months were on there so it was a happy day. I thought I would post a pic of this beautiful place we went camping!

Growing and growing and growing....21 weeks

ok so don't laugh to hard...notice my face is not it one picture because it was a REALLY bad hair day! I had Scott take these pics tonight because I have been really bad at documenting any of my prego bellies! I don't have one Picture with any of my other kids! Sad thing is I'm not as skinny as what I was with my others. At 20 weeks I already weighed what I weighed when I delivered Jadyn. Yes, I shed a few tears but Owell what can I say I'm not in my 20's anymore and this is NUMBER 5 pregnancv for me! I can't dwell on it so I just buy cute prego jeans( notice the cute seven's..lol) As long as you have cute clothes you feel skinnier, right? Honestly, I'm so in love with this baby! He kicks so much and is so much more active then my others were! I have been feeling him kick since 14 weeks! I feel so grateful to be a mom again, even when we thought we were done! I love that Heavenly Father knows whats best for us and our family and I think there are so many awesome spirits that need to come to earth right now and this was just one of them! Its crazy that I can be so in love with a baby that I haven't even seen or held in my arms but I feel like I know him already. My kids being older this time around have really enjoyed sharing this with me. Jesse told me the other day

Jesse: "Mom you are getting really big!"
Me: (sarcastic) "Thanks Son!"
Jesse:(innocently) "No mom really, your legs are bigger, your stomach is bigger, and even
Your boobs are bigger!"
Me: "Jesse! You don't say that!"
Jesse: " No mom, you look really good, I promise!"
Me: " Jesse, you don't ever tell a girl she looks bigger ANYWHERE, it doesn't matter
how nice you are trying to be...she will feel bad."
Jesse: "Sorry, but I do think you look good..."

Oh 14 year old boys... he is famous for his innocent diarrhea of the mouth. Just always saying whats on his mind! The girls are so excited! The other day Jax got mad at me and turned to me
and said: "I'm not going to be nice to your baby!"
Later he came and told me he was sorry..lol I was trying so hard not to laugh! I love my family and there craziness!!!


P.S. I was scratching my belly like crazy right before we took these pictures so I tried to put
lotion on and rub the marks out and they still show...makes for funny shots!
