Gotta Love Insurance

I went to the doctor last week and got all my blood work done and took about 45 mins and gave them all my information and thought everything was great. So I get a call saying that they don't take my insurance a few days later, so I would have to switch doctors. So I called my previous doctors and they wanted me to come in right away since they usually like to see their patients by 8 weeks and I am 9 weeks. So I had another doctors appointment today. It was all worth it though because today I got to hear the babies heartbeat. I guess my uterus was tilled forward so he was able to hear it. What a relief it was a strong heartbeat. I asked him if he would be able to hear 2 heartbeats yet if there are 2, and he wants to get an ultrasound done since twins run in my family to check. So I am off to the doctors again next week to get an ultrasound and hopefully there is only 1 baby, but if there is 2, well we will be so happy too. (But terrified)

How blessed am I

Can I just say how blessed I have been this pregnancy. I am almost 7 weeks and still feeling pretty good. I have moments of sickness and then I feel great. When I found out I was pregnant I just prayed that I would feel at least well enough to take care of my boys and not have to use my family and friends to much for help. I have been more then blessed. I am still able to cook, keep my house clean, keep my laundry done, exercise, and take care of my boys. I keep waiting for the terrible morning sickness that I am use to to set in but it just hasn't and I am grateful for everyday that I get without it.

Sundance Cabin

This happened about a month ago but my family had the opportunity to go stay at a cabin up at Sundance for the weekend. It was such an amazing time. The kids played in the snow all day long. I got to go skiing with Dave which is truly one of my most favorite things, but I rarely get to go since having kids. We had tons of junk food, and my dad brought his guitar and he played and sang with the kids. It was truly such a memorable time. My mom of course made matching PJ's for all the kids which they were all so excited about.

Blogging again

OK, so I decided I probably should start blogging again since when I am pregnant I kind of go into hiding. Now people will know that I am alive and that I am still moving. Why do I go into hiding well 2 reasons really #1 I get so tired and hauling 2boys around can overwhelm me too much so I would rather stay home. #2 I truly get so enormous when I am pregnant that the less people see me maybe the less they will remember how huge I am. haha

Feeling so blessed

We have had a bit of a scary week in our family. My mom told us last Friday that she had found a lump close to where she found her 1st lump 6 years ago that was breast cancer. She actually noticed it awhile ago but she didn't want to ruin the family reunion that she had worked so hard on in Wyoming so she waited until after to tell us. She had a appointment on Monday with her doctor and her doctor told her that she had reason to be concerned and that he needed to run some tests. So Tuesday Morning she went in and had some test done and they told us that we would know within 24 hours. Needless to say the last 24 hours I have had a lump in my stomach just waiting for news. My mom called me today after talking to the doctor and they said that it is not cancer and they also ran a test to see if their was anything in her lungs as well and again they found no cancer. I am just feeling so blessed. My mom is truly a rock in my life and I don't know what my life would be like without her. The Lord has truly blessed our family.

4th of July

This year we had the best time in Wyoming for the 4Th of July. My mom made pioneer dresses for all of us and spent literally a whole year finding pioneer stories to share with us in Wyoming. We went to Martin's cove which was truly an amazing experience. My boys loved riding in the handcart and then hiking part of the way to the cove. There is such an amazing spirit there and it truly help me appreciate just a little bit more what those people went through. Dave and I talked about packing up everything we could fit into a handcart and getting the boys and just leaving. It is truly so hard to comprehend. While we were in Wyoming we also went to a Rodeo which the boys loved, watch truly one of the greatest firework shows I have ever been too, went to the Lander Wy parade which Parker loved getting soaked by the fire trucks, which is something I remember loving as a little kids, and had a BBQ with some of my cousins. It was an action filled weekend that I will truly never forget. We also had a run in with a rattle snake witch about scared Dave and I half to death since the boys were so close to it. I don't think my heart stopped beating a mile a minute for about an hour afterward. I love the 4Th of July and it was fun to spend it in the town where my mom grew up.

Soccer Camp

Last week Parker did his 1st soccer camp ever and loved it. I was the obnoxious mom on the sideline just glowing watching her little boy. It was so darling that on Friday Dave took off work to come watch Parker play. Any of you who know Dave know what a big deal this is because Dave never takes off work. Anyway Parker was so excited that he just kept smiling and looking at Dave. He had a hard time focusing on the ball sometimes because he was too busy showing off for Dad. I think Dave and I were both so excited for Parker to finally be old enough to start playing sports. It is something I have always wanted was to watch my boys play ball. I don't even care what sport it is I just love watching them play. Parker loved it so much that we signed him up for Fall soccer. I love being a mom!
