FINE, I GUESS I WILL BLOG!

Alright, I am a bad blogger. I really didn't care either. I have had alot on my plate lately and didn't think I would blog again. But some of you sweet people keep asking me to make a post.............................. so here we go. An update! When I looked at my last post, I couldn't even remember what those months were like, so ya it HAS been a long time. Anyways I think I left off at December. All I can say about Christmas is we made it through and all the kids were happy, so no complaining. I really wanted to do something for New Years Eve rather than sitting at home and going to bed before midnight so I tried to talk one of my friends into having a party and I would help. She didn't want to have all the headache of getting ready for a party. So I decided to throw together a couple's party 2 days before new years. It was alot of fun. And we learned ALOT about the couple's there.haha We were having so much fun, none of us even checked the time. So we missed midnight. And no I didn't take any pictures. But we had a good time! We played wii, bunco, not-so-newlywed game, and had lots of good food and laughs.

We also needed to find a new house.Well we found a cute little house that the owner wanted fixing up. He told us if we would do the fixing he would take a couple hundred off the already low rent. So we knew we couldn't pass the deal up! The house was going to be a BIG change for us and alot smaller but we knew it was a huge blessing as we 2 are struggling in this economy. So January was the month of remodeling. WOW it was alot more time than I expected. Poor Dusty was working 10 hour days, 6 days a week then we would go work at the house sometimes till midnight. One of the first things we did was set some beds up so we could put the kids to bed cause they would have school the next morning. WE did new flooring, paint, rail for the upstairs, remodeled a bathroom,and no again I didn't take any pictures. I think the last pictures I have on my camera are the ones I already posted. Sad huh?

Are you bored yet????


Ok there is so much more still so if your still reading this, wow. So Dusty and I got on the subject of babies in December, like most spouses do. We were just discussing the possibility of having any more. After talking for some time about it we had come to an agreement that we were DONE with 3. We had all the kids we needed and didn't feel bad about being done. (After all it has been hard enough to take care finacially of the 3 we have.)So anyways it didn't come up again until a couple weeks later when I started feeling so sick EVERY day. I could NOT get my lazy butt out of bed for anything. My workouts that I usually LOVE were getting less and less.
Not to mention a few "other" parts of my body were so sore. Anyways I knew. I didn't want to know. But I knew what was going on! I didn't even end up taking a test till 5 and 1/2 weeks cause I didn't need to. I just did so I could PROVE to my husband that I was. So here are the results.(Which again........I knew)



So yes. It is true.(Part of the reason I write that it is true, is for ME to believe it.) And if you have seen me lately, I'm not JUST eating alot! So anyways we really wanted to keep it a secret for a while. Cause I wanted to be somewhat excited to tell people. Which with Every other pregnancy I have told the world at 4 weeks. So we did just that and din't even tell family until week 8 when I started to bleed and had a tear in my placenta. At that time we were still remodeling. Trying to get the other house somewhat packed because we had to be out in 12 days. Not to mention I was fighting this horrible sickness people call "morning sickness" that lasted ALL day. So the Dr. put me on bedrest. Yes you read that right! I told the nurse that broke the news to me that I could do it ANY other week, but not that week. She didn't seem to care and so it was. I was on bedrest. My mom, the WONDERFUL mother I have instantly became a "mother" of three. With ALL the jobs that intails. Taking to school, picking up from school, taking to all activities. You all know. I could go on and on. Anyways not only did she have all the kids, she helped Dusty finish up the house so we could move in, which included cleaning it from top to bottom, she packed my ENTIRE house up. (I hadn't even gotten one box yet.Boy did I feel dumb for procrastinating. Especially when some friends showed up from the ward to help her.)So we had meals EVERY night from our great ward members and 20 elders quarum members showed up on a Saturday morning and moved everything in 2 hours. We felt so blessed! Although I felt pretty dumb just "sitting" there while everyone was working. So that pretty much sums up January. Thanks to some great ward members, some WONDERFUL friends, and my AMAZING mom we made it through and I got off bedrest. Of course just after I was all moved in.

Are you still reading all of this???

So here we are in February. Valentines day was actually fun. Most people wouldn't think so but I did. Dusty ended up going out of town the night before. His mom asked if he wanted to go with her to the valley to see his nephew wrestle at regionals. (Which Tyler won by the way. WAY TO GO!)Any ways I was all for this because the last break of any kind he has had was when he went hunting in November. He has been WAY over-worked and under-paid lately.(I guess that is what happens when you are the boss.) I was so glad to let him go have 2 days off. Malarie ended up getting the stomach flu an hour after he left. So that part was not fun. She was so dehydrated she passed out. So once again, mom to the rescue. Her and my dad came over got some liquid back in her system and insisted on taking ALL the kids home since I wasn't feeling good. Next day was better. I woke up and got to my friends house to watch her 4 kids so she and her husband could go out of town to do a triathalon. I brought my boys but Malarie had to stay with grandma. We had a great time and also made Valentines cupcakes with homeade frosting. (I am getting hungry) Anyone want to make me some cupcakes? Sorry got a little sidetracked.

So life has been just trying to get through the days without feeling SO sick. Maybe unpacking a box or two if I feel up to it. Trying to get organized and life back to somewhat normal. Thursday, February 19, I woke up feeling actually good! I got some stuff unpacked. Hung my bedroom decorations and swept and mopped all the floors. Since we don't have carpet. Dusty had just got home to do some office work and to watch the boys since it is the day I teach dance(to trade out for Malarie to take) I went to the bathroom like I do every other 20 minutes of the day, and blood. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! is what I was yelling from the toilet. And some other stuff. So off to the Dr. Friday morning we went. They did another ultrasound and the baby is growing fine. And the heart was beating. But they found that now I have placenta previa. So the placenta is covering the whole cervix! I din't think it was a big deal until the Dr. told me we are going to have to be REAl careful. This would probably end up in a c-section and maybe even an emergency c-section. WOW is all I can say. So this baby definately wants to make an entrance. I have 2 cold sores and I Never get cold sores so I maybe am a little stressed! We did get a cute picture though. So here it is! Now everyone is caught up. I will take some pictures for the next post. PROMISE!
