WASSOM HAPPENINGS!

*Well Payton and Gavin and I are a bit bored of cartoons and naps! I am super happy to say I have been up and around more the last two days and have felt pretty good. We are all hoping that I am at a turning point and from here on out it will be smooth sailing. (keep your fingers crossed)

*Reagan is trying to continue to be the big helper she has been but she is only 6 and it wears on her. She is amazing and really has been such a huge helper for me! I love her!

*Ryan got home from the boys annual hunting trip and again nothing!(they are all getting sick of coming home empty handed but the time they get together is important too{sappy i know}) But on another interesting note Ryan did throw up in the trailer that all 6 guys were sleeping in! I guess he had a few of them dry heaving afterwards. LOL! It's not funny but grown men gagging is funny to think about! Luckily he did do it in a bowl so it was easy clean up! Needles to say Ry came home not feeling so hot but he is keeping his food down so that's a good sign!

*Gavin has been so funny lately! I have to repeat myself 3 or more times before my kids answer sometimes (i know i am the only mom this happens too:>)well.... after I have said Gavin 3 or 4 times Gavin the last couple of days turns around to me and says "mom, mom, mom, mom....do you see how annoying that is?" He is so funny! We just laugh and laugh! It's actually a commercial on t.v. if you didn't know & it is reversed, the child is asking for mom over and over and then the mom says the child's name a few times and says do you see how annoying that is? so yeah, dang funny!

****On another note my lab work came back and all is normal except my thyroid, it's high, does anyone know of anything I can take that is natural and not over the counter drugs?****

THIS TO SHALL PASS....

I have been experiencing some crazy emotions with all these baby issues!....

Are we losing this baby? Are we keeping this baby? 1st ultra sound came back with strong baby stats. So why am I am bleeding and cramping?.... Ok Brandi chill out, the baby stats are great! Keep thinking positive, this to shall pass!

Last night we had a friend come over and help Ry give me a blessing and we let our friend do the blessing... what an amazing blessing! I was left emotional but I felt so much peace after he left! We went to bed not sure what was going to happen but knew it was in our Saviors hands and we were both ok with either way it went at this point. So we went to sleep... or at least Ry did for a while and I well... had a full night of bleeding and cramping, Ry got up with me every time I was bleeding! We got another appointment and another ultra sound (we were really expecting to have no heart beat this time) but to our surprise the baby is again still beating away! We are very excited about the ultra sound but still left with no answers on why I am still left feeling like I am in the first stages of labor at 8 weeks along! I still feel at peace with this pregnancy, if I am only to hold this baby a little while for it to receive a body then I am grateful for the opportunity to do so, (not sure I am 100% ready to go through the emotions that come with that outcome) on the other hand if we are to keep the baby and have it in our home we are extremely humbled by this as well!

I have not let myself feel or show much emotion since this whole thing has come down, but after the blessing it left me feeling totally ok with letting my emotions show. For that reason I am trying to express it and I am not sure it is making any sense but I feel SO MUCH better! I also need to express how much I love Ryan! He has been right by my side through this whole thing, taking care of me and the kids or finding people to help us out. (Thanks to my Grandma so much!) Thanks to my ward for the dinners to help keep me down!

THIS TO SHALL PASS......

HICCUP!!

We are having a slight bump in the road with the pregnancy right now. We have always seemed to have a few problems in the last trimester and go into the pregnancy hoping for the best but prepared for a rough end. Well this time was no different we are prepared for the last trimester but come on I am only 7 weeks along and already put on "light activity/bed rest" for a week due to some moderate to heavy cramping and bleeding therefore rest is in order to see if the bleeding will subside! We had an ultra sound and the baby looks amazing, super strong heart rate so the doctor was pleased but you never know! So I am resting and hoping that this is a short lived "rest"! I am so sure of our decision to make this the last baby to come to our family through us! My body just does not like to be pregnant!:(

With that...I am so blessed to have such amazing family! We made the call to the doctor and they wanted to see me right away so we called my sister Danielle and my mom; they were out running errands and with no questions asked they came over to watch the kids so we could get to the doctor. Then my awesome brother Dillon switched them out so they could finish running around before a funeral (which I for obvious reasons didn't get to make) but I love them so much and could not ask for better.

I know that Heavenly Father has things in order so whatever happens will be for the best! I am thankful for this knowledge!

I'm out for now, I have a lot to get done;) hahaha just kidding!

The RUMORS are true!

Alright everybody YES we are pregnant.... again! We are very excited about it. I am really excited that when we have this baby I can work out and not think "why the hell am I doing this just so I can get fat and pregnant again?" That will be so great! Reagan is hoping and praying for a sister and Gav says he wants a brother 90% of the time but once in a while he will say "mom i want a sister actually!" So we will see. It would be fun to get a girl, then we would have 2 of each! But healthy is all I really want for me and baby!

A Few Funny Moments!

Gavin jumped in bed the other morning with me and said "mom, I want a baby brother!" Reagan heard him and had to put her opinion in "mom, I want a sister!" Gavin piped back in and said "mom, then we need to get a cage!!!"

I laughed for a while and I still laugh every time I think about it.

Okay now onto another funny moment that Bobi can attest to. We were watching Grease 2 the other night and some boys sing the mister sand man song that is also on Back to the Future which we could not remember at the time. Anyways, we eventually figured out that it was in fact Back to the Future and Bobi asked me which one it was on and I answered so confidently... "I'm not sure but it's the one that he goes back in time!" Then we laughed a bit about that and then tried to finish the movie. But I am pretty sure we were both comatose before it was over.

So fun! I love making fun of myself. hahahha
