Up to date...

So let's catch up.
Today was my big ultrasound.( the one where they check out everything on baby)
I have to say I was quite disappointed. John was running late to get there on time, and I asked them to wait, but NOOOO the lady had a family emergency and needed to leave right after me. She took me back and began without any regard to the fact that I wanted my hubby to be there. (even though it was like the 5th one I've had and he has attended all of them)
Baby looks good, nice and healthy!
I'm confused as to why two weeks ago baby was measuring 6 days behind, but today is now measuring 7 days ahead!? My belly has completely popped this past week though. (Should post a pic huh? I'll get around to it) Must be all the junk I'm eating but I no longer can button any of my pants. I may spend the summer in John's shorts!
On a sour note, the reason for my ultrasound two weeks ago was due to severe pain I was having in my back and lower abdomen. I went to the docs, they tested for a UTI which came back neg. Then I started peeing blood (TMI sorry) so off to the ER we go.They did a ultrasound and my right kidney is dilated. They assumed kidney stones or a blockage and sent me home with some pain drugs.
I have been feeling better since then, but today, another look shows my kidney is still largely dilated. So doc wants to run a few blood labs and go from there. If there is a blockage I will be the lucky new owner of a ureteral stent! (google it if you don't know :)(BOOO)
Any who, no luck with finding my nursing job, so I've decided I might as well continue on with my education. So I'm taking the few classes left before I transfer to do my bachelors. So my summer will be filled with organic chemistry and statistics! John is doing calculus 2, so we've already spent the last two nights studying away at the kitchen table.
Nothing else has been happening in our lives that I can think of. ( I know we are so exciting!) I'm just ready for summer and a vacation!

And all of you are wondering.........
WE DID NOT FIND OUT WHAT WE ARE HAVING! We officially did not do it! So if things go good we will not have another opportunity to find out! (which i might regret, but I keep telling myself it will be so worth it in the end!) I just am imagining delivery day and doc saying "It's a .....!" and me crying and everyone so surprised!

Horrible Photographer

My OB took some wonderful pics of baby! NOT! It's ok though, I get an ultrasound again next time I go in, so hopefully we will get better shots.
We did see all of baby while he was doing the ultrasound, baby was wiggling his/her feet so the legs look deformed in the 3D pic, but when he pushed print he must have moved the probe or something cuz this is all we got. (middle pic) You can see squiggly legs, part of the umbilical cord and the tummy.


The last pic is baby putting his/her hand to his/her mouth, and you can see the feets! (sorry they are small, I still haven't figured out my scanner)

I told Kelsey yesterday this kid better be an angel for what he/she is putting me through right now.Everyday is a roller coaster of headaches, pain, nausea, no sleep and lack of interest in food. I'm praying I will one day soon feel better. One more week and I will be out of first trimester, so hopefully that will be the turning point!

Happy Birthday Hailey!

My little girl turns 4 today! Wow how time flies! She has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. Last night we took her to Disney on Ice and John and I could not stop laughing at her little comments and excitement. Honestly her favorite part was riding trax. (or the train as she prefers to call it)
ahhh Hailey... if only you could know how much we love you!

































She is so big and gorgeous!

The Surprise

We're EXPECTING #2! Kinda found out by accident with a visit to the ER due to food poisoning. I'm due around my birthday. (Oct 22) The best part is Kelsey is preggo too! (That was the surprise, she was going to tell the family) She is due just a few days after me! Crazy! It will be fun to have someone to gripe and complain with! The sheer excitement really hasn't hit me yet. I'm more worried about all the changes we need to make, along with finding a job before it's obvious I'm preggers. (Who will hire a fat lady?) But I'm sure things will work out. Til then I will just have to keep worrying.

P.S. We are NOT going to find out what we are having! hehe

Tonight

Hehehehe, I love surprises! Tonight will be an awesome one! Since no one reads this, I figured I could mention that.

NCLEX-RN

Today I took the nursing boards. I don't find out if I passed until Thursday... WHY DO THEY DO THAT TO YOU! I'm freaking out! The test was hard, but I knew it would be, but it didn't ask some questions I thought it would, so I'm worried I didn't make it that far. It's nice that I don't have to study anymore. Then again, if I passed, I get to spend many hours applying for jobs.

Soccer

Did I mention our family LOVES soccer! I just signed Hailey up for indoor Futsol! We are excited to see her play! She says she is "getting older and can play soccer now" and "can play on Aunt Sadie's team" but I don't know if she will be a kid who goes after the ball or the one that just likes to stand and watch. We will see!

AND Real starts in 3 months! John and I bought season tickets last year and LOVED going to the games, so we invested in them again this season. Let's hope Real can pull another amazing season. They sure kept us on the edge of our seats!


AND we are excited to go to St. George over Valentines day for the Icebreaker tournament. Courtney and Sadie are both playing. GO RAZZIA!

There is nothing better than watching soccer!
