Easter 2011!!

We had a wonderful Easter yesterday. Mason and Aiden woke up, looked at their baskets and Aiden started to shovel in candy into his mouth. Then they heard a noise and noticed something big with a blanket covering it. So we let them take off the blanket and to the kids' suprise they saw 2 baby bunnies in a cage. They loved them right away and wanted to hold them of course. We let the bunnies out to run around for a while and the boys just had a blast with them. The bunnies are only 7 weeks old so they are still getting use to us. We tried to get a picture with the boys holding the bunnies but Mason and Aiden were too excited to want to learn that they needed to be quite and not talk to loud so we will have to try that later when the bunnies aren't so scared and more use to us. Jon and I have been holding them so hopefully that will help. Mason and Aiden also got the new Harry Potter movie on Blu-ray and Tangled on Blu-Ray and of course they got candy. We really enjoyed our Easter Sunday! Enjoy!


This bunny's name is Perry. This is Jon's, Mason's and Aiden's favorite bunny.



This bunny's name is Momo. This one is my favorite!


Mason and Aiden on Easter morning!

Test Results Are Back!!

At my last Dr's appointment he ordered for blood tests to be done on me. I went and got my blood drawn and my Dr let me know what the results were. So he did an iron test, thyroid test and tests on the baby for down's syndrome, etc. All the test came back normal. I am so relieved that there is nothing wrong with the baby and that I don't have a thyroid problem. Now all my Dr has to figure out is why I have been having all this pain on my right side and I will be worry free. :) Oh and in 2 weeks and 4 days from now we will find out what the gender is of this baby! I can't wait!!

A Healthy Pregnancy!

I went to my Dr appointment yesterday and he thinks that the pain that I have been having is either ligament pains or I might have a herina. He told me to just keep an eye on it and the next time I am having the pain again to really look down there and feel to see if it's definitely poking out. He said if its poking out then it's a herina for sure and if that's the case then he will just keep a really close eye on it cause they don't want to do surgery while I am pregnant. He also gave me a prescription for the pain. I was also worried about the baby since the last time that I was in he couldn't find the baby's heartbeat and I also haven't been feeling the baby move as much. He reassured me that everything was fine with the baby and that it's a very healthy pregnancy. This time he was able to find the baby's heartbeat right away and the baby is definitely kicking and moving around in there. The baby was kicking the doppler while my Dr, Jon, Mason, Aiden and I were listening to the heartbeat. There were some other things that I was worried about like me being so tired with this pregnancy and before I was pregnant. I would take naps everyday and they would be pretty long naps too and I was still able to go to bed at night and sleep good. So my Dr ordered to do a blood test to see if anything is wrong with my iron or to see if I have a thyroid problem. I am really hoping that it turns out to be nothing but we just want to make sure. Also the baby's heartbeat was 145 bpm this time around. I don't know what it was before though cause yesterday was the first day that I ever got to hear the baby's heartbeat and last time the Dr couldn't tell me the bpm cause he had to do the ultrasound to make sure the baby's heart was beating. Now we just have to wait for 4 more weeks to find out the baby's gender, which will be May 3rd! Yes, I am doing a count down! You are probably wondering what I want to have. Well I am sure all of you know that I really want a girl which is true but with everything that has happened so far with this pregnancy. I just want to have a healthy baby. I realized that I need to be grateful for what Heavenly Father has given us whether he gave us a healthy baby boy or girl. I also have been thinking about it too and it won't be so bad to have another little boy around since I already know how to raise boys and I have most of all the stuff for a little boy that I need. But it would also be WONDERFUL to have a little girl around the house. Well that's about it for now, I hope I didn't bore anyone to death about this. Thanks for listening!

Is there really something wrong or am I over reacting?

OK, most of you already know how I am when it comes to anything really. Those of you who don't really know me all that well I'll just say that I always think of the worst case scenarios and over react to everything that deals with life pretty much. That's just the way I am! LOL! When I was pregnant with my second baby (Aiden) I got these really bad pains on my right side down in my pelvic area. So the Dr of course did an ultrasound when I was 14 weeks along with him to see if I have cysts on my ovaries. It turned out that it was nothing but ligament pains and then the pains returned when I was about 8 months along and it wouldn't go away. My Dr informed me that it was just the baby putting alot of pressure down there and it wasn't going to go away until I delivered him. Which the pain did go away right after I delivered him. With this pregnancy the pain came back around 15 weeks. The only thing that is making me think that it's not ligament pains this time is that it is really consistent. I found out that the only way to make it go away is to stay really lazy all day long. That Intel's that I just sit on the couch, sleep, watch TV, read books, and get up to use the restroom and feed my kids. I did this on the weekend cause my weekdays are pretty busy with taking Mason to preschool and back and other errands that I need to do. So I have been researching online and I don't know what this pain is but it could just be the ligament pain again, cysts on my ovaries or something wrong with my appendix. I don't know so I'll just leave that to my Dr to decide and put my mind at ease. Tomorrow is my Dr appointment and I am definitely telling him all about this pain. Oh and I forgot to mention that the pain that I have it hurts like none other. Walking hurts, sitting up and down hurts, stretching out my legs, lifting stuff hurts and the list goes on. I am always tired and exhausted as it is too. I take naps everyday and go to bed by 10 pm every night. So if any of you have ever had this pain before please give me ideas about what to do that will help it go away. Let hope that I was really just over reacting and there is nothing wrong with me or the baby. Wish me luck!
