2 years!!!

Sunday Jex and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary!!! Its crazy to think how fast time has flown by. We celebrated by going to a hotel in Midval on Saturday and coming back to our stink bug Sunday evening. It was a nice get away. I am excited to have many more years to come and see what they bring us. This year our bug joy is bringing another little Jex boy into the world.

Speaking of the pregnancy I should update on that. Kannen is due Nov 9th which would be awesome if he would wait until then. Kaysen turns 2 on Dec 9th it would be way nice to have them a month apart, but the way things are going right now we will be luck if we make it to Halloween. I started thinning out about a month ago... I have been having major contractions that come and go and get stronger every time. I go to the doctors today hopefully things haven't changed. I really don't think I could do bed rest.... I will keep everyone update as I am. Man when they say every pregnancy is different it is so so true. This one has fully kicked my butt. Emotionally and Physically

Summer is here!!!!

Summer is finally here YAY!!!! I am super excited to be able to do so many fun summer activities with Kaysen!!! He has gotten to the point he actually LOVES water so I can't wait to take him swimming. We are actually planning to buy him a little pool for the back yard. He will LOVE that!!!!

 I can't believe he is 18 months now, time really does fly. He is walking and trying to say so many new words I love watching and listening to him at times. He can be a handful at times like a week or so ago I took him shopping with me and he has learned he can climb out of the front of the shopping cart so I have to put him in the back. This is a pain when I am shopping because now when I put the groceries in the cart he throws them out. Well I hadn't thought about that last week and I out a thing of Pillsbury Orange Rolls in the cart and next thing I know Kaysen threw them and of course they exploded open... It was horrible he wants the cart all to himself. If he isn't throwing things out of the cart he is screaming at the top of his little lungs trying to get every person who walks by to stare and smile at him... yes it actually works... Lol the joys of having a toddler!!! I love it and can't wait until he is 5.

From baby to Toddler...

Kaysen is no longer a baby... I had to set up his toddler bed yesterday. He learned how to climb everything, and when I put him in for nap a few days ago he tried climbing out of his crib...So the toddler bed was put up yesterday after nap....
He did good for bed time it took a half hour and he only got out once and when he did he seemed pretty confused. May be this will be a little easier then I thought it would be, other then realizing my baby is growing up way to fast....

Changes come fast!!!

      Wow talking about how time flies I can remember taking Kaysen to the Heritage Park egg hunt last year. It was so cold he could have cared less what we were doing, he would have rather  being home where it was warm. I was just crazy and had to be out celebrating with him. He looked like a little old man...

        Then there is there year, we went to Hooper Parks Egg hunt first and he could have cared less what was going on there. They just threw the candy on the ground. Kaysen was more interested in running after all the other kids. I think he picked up once piece and he wanted to eat it right there. Once we were don't there we went over to Heritage Park. He was way excited once he saw all the bright and colorful eggs. He picked up a yellow one first and he was way excited he fell over and couldn't get back up because he didn't want to let go of his new egg. He got a good amount of eggs and now he is more into playing with the eggs then he is about the candy. He has learned how to open and shut them. He throw all his candy on the floor last night so he could play with just the eggs without the candy getting in the way. What a little stinker. We also had to stop by Winegars to see the Easter Bunny there. He wasn't scared of him, thank goodness, but he wasn't sure what to think about it. The bunny was trying to give him an egg and he just stood there looking at him. Daddy finally had to help him and then he wanted to pet the bunnies hand lol silly boy!!! Once we got home he was more then worn out. He didn't even open his eyes when I got him out of the car. We then colored eggs once he was awake. He just couldn't wait to touch everything and mom was to slow for him. I wasn't planning on letting him do the actually dying, but he loved doing it and threw a fit until I let him. So he ended up doing all but the first two eggs. He did really good he only spilt once and I think it was more my fault then his. He got the dye on his fingers and wasn't sure he would look at his fingers then back at me like mom what happened... Lol then he got it on his leg and he kind of freaked out. It was great Easter was amazing this year and I can't wait until next year when he will know even more!!! Life has been amazing and I couldn't ask for anything more. I have my best friend by my side all the time and a great son and another little one on the way. What more could a mommy ask for in this world!!!!

 

                                                                   

 

Disneyland!!!!

                                                   

                                                                                          

Okay so our trip to Disneyland was a blast and well needed vacation!!! We left Tuesday night, stopped and had dinner at Denny's then headed out about 10 10:30. I took the night shift so I had my Monster drinks stocked up. I only ended up drinking one and it kept me awake the whole time. I drove for about 6 hours, just alittle past Vegas. Then Jex took over. I crashed for about 2 hours maybe. It was hard sleeping in the car I felt every little thing woke me. We got into California and it started raining and traffic was HORRIBLE!!!!! I think we were stuck in traffic for a good hour. We could check into a Condo right away so we went to Disneyland for a few hours my first ride ever was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It rained on and off all day Wednesday, but it was nice the lines were pretty short. Thursday it was nice weather so the lines were a little longer. By Friday I thought I might be dying. I think my body is getting old... I was so sore. We walked to and from the park every day then all the walking and standing in line there... We would go home every night and got hot tub for a half hour it was amazing!!! I had a blast, but can't wait to be able to take Kaysen. We already plan to take him as soon as we think he will enjoy it!!!   Here are some pictures!!

                                                                                                                               

                                                                                                         

                                

                                                                             

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Monday is already Valentines day!! Its crazy to me how fast this year is already going.... I am pretty excited about this Valentines day!!! Jex got me the best gift ever!!! He is taking me to Disneyland!!!! Yay!!! I have never been so I am super excited and can't wait I know time is going to go by so slow. We are leaving Tuesday night once I am home from school, I am taking the night shift driving. I will be sure to take plenty of pictures and post them!!!

Super excited and can't wait, but I need to get him something that comes somewhat close to is gift. Any ideas I am willing to hear all!!!

Things happen for a reason

I have heard this saying pretty much my entire life, and its is something I know is VERY true. I know that even though we may never find out the reasoning, it did happen for one reason or another. Our Heavenly Father has a plan for us and it includes hard times just has much as it includes joys. Yet when that something happens to you all you can do is wonder why...Why me, why now...??

A few weeks ago I found out some amazing news that we didn't share with a lot of people and now I am grateful we hadn't. I found out I was pregnant. We were thrilled, lol yes even Jex was!!! We weren't really trying, but we weren't being as careful either, so we knew it was bound to happen. I figured I was only a few weeks. Well I tried setting an appointment with my Ob that had delivered Kaysen, when come to find out she had moved states... Suck. Now I had to find a new Ob and I really wanted one I liked as much as my last. I found one in Layton I was going to try out, but since I thought I was only a few weeks they wanted to wait to see me until I was as close to 8 weeks which would have been Feb 25th. This worried me because of all the problems I had with Kaysen, plus I am scared to death of having a miscarriage. I was constantly complaining to Jex how scared I was and stressing all the time. He then told me " stop stressing about it or it is going to happen." I took his advice and stopped thinking about it.
Monday morning I woke up feeling like crap, I had tossed and turned all night and was nauseous and burning up most of the night. I just thought oh the joys of the first trimester.... I got Kaysen up and got him is breakfast and then went to the bathroom. I then realized I was soaked in blood....Every pregnant women's nightmare..... I text Jex... Nothing... I called my mom...nothing... I was freaking out. I then decided to call my new Ob, and they was still closed and their stupid answering machine thing didn't tell me what time the opened... I decided the best thing to do until they opened was to try and keep my mind off of it has much as possible, so I showered and got dressed. They finally opened at 8:30 and I told them what was going on and the nurse told me " okay well wait a week and if you are still bleeding then give us a call back...WTH are you serious. What did they think would come out of telling a pregnant women bleeding to wait a week...I was freaking out and pissed so I went to my moms. Jex finally called me back and we decided to just wait.
Tuesday i felt horrible cramping bad and I started getting sick and had a horrible headache. So we went to the ER. We were there for 5 hours for them to just come in and tell me I had had a miscarriage.....and I was further along then I had thought I was, I was closer to 8 weeks...
Jex told me he was really excited about having another one, I asked him well where do we go from here. He told me it might be good to stay off the birth control and what ever happens happens.
I am A- which mean I have the Rh factory, which is what most likely caused the miscarriage. The hospital gave me a shot and we are hoping that helps with trying to carry another baby. So we are really hoping to be pregnant again in the next few months.
What the reasoning was to us loosing this little one, we are not sure of and we may never know the true reasoning. Yet I know and believe it was meant to be this was. I am very thankful for having a loving husband who stayed at my side through this whole thing even when he wasn't sure what he could do for me. I am not sure I would have made it through it without him. I am even more grateful for having the chance to have Kaysen!!! I love my little stink bug he is my light that guides me through this crazy world!!! And I am also VERY grateful for all the family and friends who was there for us and was willing to help!!! I love you all!!!
