Pregnancy update

Well these last few days have been very weird for me! It started on Sunday at church I was getting hot flashes and sweating! For those of you who know me that is VERY unusual! I'm usually always cold! I thought it was because Mikey and I said the opening and closing prayers in sacrament and my heart was still pounding from that :) Well Monday comes along and I feel a little weird, as the day went on I became dizzy, had crazy vision for a little bit and was extremely hot. I called my Dr. just to be safe and they said to take it easy, eat protein and if it got worse or didnt go away to go into the hospital. That night I felt some cramping in my tummy and still didnt feel any better. I stuck it out til the morning and the dizziness came back again but a lot stronger this time. By this time Mikey had left for Vegas for the week and I was home alone, so I figured I needed to get this taken care of ASAP. I headed to the hospital and they took me up to the OB where they hooked me up to the fetal heart monitor and the one that measures my contractions. Right as soon as I got hooked up I had a pretty significant contraction...I told the nurse I didnt feel anything other than being a little more dizzy and sweaty...ya she thought that was a little weird, so we kept an eye on it, I was having contractions about every minute and of course every time I wold get a little more dizzy and sweaty so they figured thats how I felt the contraction. Both nurses had never heard of that before, but I like to make things a little more difficult :) They checked to see if I was dilated at all and I was to a 1 and they also did a test that would let us know if I was going to be delivering within the next 2 weeks, I haven't heard the results yet. While the nurse was asking all the questions we figured the only thing that had changed was changing to a different medication 2 weeks ago and think that may be contributing to it...the contractions died down after about 45 minutes and I felt a ton better, so they let me go. Since then I have still been a little dizzy but I guess I just have to deal with it until we can figure out whats going on. I have an appt with my Dr. tomorrow afternoon and hopefully I will get more answers from her.
I still have 7 weeks to go and as much as we want to meet our little guy...not right now! So if you all could keep us in your prayers I would really appreciate it. I will let everybody know what (if anything) I figure out tomorrow afternoon.

So here are a few of the things we have got for our little guy. We got the swing, pack n play, and the bedding off of craigslist, not to mention about 125 outfits!! We love craigslist! The bedding was almost exactly what I wanted, we got 8 extra items for less than the one we were going to buy!! The only real big things we are waiting to get are the changing table, which has been ordered and the mattress, these babies are expensive!! I have about 2 more months left and can't wait to meet mini Mikey! We also had my baby shower up in Utah and had a blast! We got a ton of great things and it was so nice to see my family again!
Steve and Joann came to visit last week and we had a blast! Thanks to all our family and friends for all your support! Enjoy the pics

Utah...random pics

We went to Utah a couple weeks ago to visit family and also have family pics taken. Justin and Amber and the kids were in town from PA so we decided to head up to see them. We had a blast! I flew in Thursday afternoon, my brother Eric had won the BYU "Thursday's Hero" so he got to meet the whole football team and coaches! He was in heaven! He is seriously the BIGGEST BYU fan I have ever met! Everything he does and all his clothes are BYU. They let him into Bronco's office and got a picture of him sitting in his desk (still waiting on those pics dad :)) They tape this whole thing and play it on "Cougar Diaries" so they "mic'd" Eric up and interviewed him...he absolutley loved it!! HAHA! Then they headed down to where the team practices. The team was in a huddle and my parents, Eric and President Elmore were standing right outside the circle, they opened up the circle towards them and about 4 of the players called Eric by name and had him come into the circle. They gave him 2 hats, a couple shirts they all signed a huge Y flag and gave it to him, they also had him sign the Y flag they carry out before each game which means he is a part of the team now and invited him to come to any practice he wants! Yep he is bugging EVERYBODY to take him down everyday! HAHA! He also saw Greg Rubel? the guy who does the radio announcing for every home game, and said "What are the chances of me coming up in the booth with you?" and Greg said "Pretty good" So he gets to sit in the booth for the game against Utah state next week! He had a great time and he deserves it! He is the coolest little brother in the world and our family is so blessed to have him in our family!
Anyways before I start crying again...I am very emotional lately! Wonder why! We had a great time hanging with the whole family and seeing all the kids again!
I just entered my last trimester! And yes I am starting to notice it! I am getting sooo big! Last week I told Mikey that I was so glad my fingers hadn't swollen to the point I couldn't wear my wedding ring and what happens yesterday?? Yep my ring doesn't fit anymore :( Oh well thats why we have my extra ring.
This week has been pretty busy, Mikey is in town which means we are doing a ton of stuff around the house. We had a carpet guy come yesterday to fix our bulging carpet. We (Mikey) hung a bunch of pics, cleaned our cars, cleaned the office, I swept and vacuumed! haha! It kills me to do any more than that. Today we had a guy come give us an estimate on fencing. Holy cow!! didnt think it was going to be that expensive! WOW!
We head up for conference and my baby shower next Thursday! So excited! I will definitely have some more pictures to post.


This was our date night a few weeks ago with Fondu!


The cutest pajamas in the world!
27 weeks!! Holy cow I didnt realize how big I was getting til I saw this picture!
oh and Mikey is taking the picture while he was on the phone so thats why its all blurry.

All the grandkids playing video games. Kenley didnt like all the boys because "all they like to do is play video games" So cute!

This is just a random pic Gram Alder sent to us, its a picture from the 80's or something? Mikey is the one in the red pants. Ya just found out from Sarah that isnt Mikey! HAHA!! looks exactly like him, my bad!

It's finally a home

So we've lived in our house about a month and just BARELY got our fridge!! Holy cow! We were living out of a cooler for the past month! It looks awesome and feels great to actually buy actual food!! The one we chose of course was on backorder til yesterday, but its exactly what we wanted!
We have also started our "date night" again, last week it was my turn to plan, so I decided to make spaghetti and do FONDU!!! it was soooo yummy! This week it's Mikey's turn and I think he wants to go see "Julie and Julia"? Has anybody seen it? It looks awesome!
Anyways thats whats going on with us, oh I did have another Dr appt yesterday and things are looking great!

Washington trip

Wow! It's been a busy last couple weeks! Im just going to post a bunch of pictures in no particular order :)
Last Thursday I met Mikey up in Portland to spend some time with family, Joann picked us up and headed strait for the camp ground, there we met Lisa, James, Mady, John, Annalee, Zayne and Steve. We had a great time! We went fishing friday and only caught one fish, but it was fun anyway! Steves boat broke down in the middle of the reservoir and we had to tow him back :(
Other than that it was awesome! That night we went back to Vancouver and met up with Steve Kulin and his daughter, had some yummy pizza and went mini golfing. Saturday we were able to just relax and spend some time sitting in the sun around the pool, it felt great! That night we had a B-52 from the Burrito house!! So good! Monday we headed to the Oregon coast with Gram and Grandpa and had a great time! It was gorgeous weather! We got some awesome salt water taffy!
We headed home on Tuesday, I flew to Phoenix and Mikey ended up in Vegas. We finally got another car yesterday! It's a 2005 Toyota Sequoia, so awesome!
I had another ultrasound today, he is looking awesome! The sonographer said he has very long legs :) Imagine that! I got it recorded this time so hopefully Mikey can teach me how to put it on here for you all to see.
Well like I said it's been crazy these last 2 weeks...we are heading up to Utah September 10th to visit my family and take family pics! YAY!
Enjoy all the pics
