26 Weeks

Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. he's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.

I had my 26 week appt. and the Dr. said everything looks really good. The baby is doing great and is right on track. He told me I am measuring about 34 weeks and I don't think I look that big! but oh well. When we went to the drs. he said all IHC hospitals starting as of OCT. 1 ARE NOT letting any children or visitors in because of the H1N1 (swine flu).I asked what about siblings to the baby and they said NO. I guess it is a good thing but a sad thing cause no one can come and see us until we come home :( I asked them when are they going to let them and they said probably in April when its over but they didn't know for sure yet. He said that all pregnant moms will have to have the flu shot and the H1N1 shot when it comes out. I got my flu shot yesturday and boy did I forget how bad it burns. I hope the H1N1 wont hurt that bad. Now I am going every 2 weeks. GOSH this pregnancy is going way to fast. We are so excited for Baby Jaxon to come. He couldn't come any faster. so it will be HAlloween, then thanksgiving, then Christmas, then Baby Jaxon YAY!!!

Its a ???

So, we were going to keep it a secret. but after calls after calls (texting) we gave in. We are VERY proud to say that we will be having a Baby Boy. We are so excited. Not that I love my girls cause I do. Jeff kept saying to all of us if it is a girl he would be moving out of the house into the barn and my girls wanted their daddy to live with us. LOL So we are very excited and will go back to the dr's in about a week again. Can't wait!!!

Girl or Boy?????????

Today, I had a Dr's appt. to see if things were going good and maybe find out what we are having???????? What is your guess????????????
I love going and looking at babies on the ulrasound. The baby is doing really good. Right now it weights 10 ounces and is 10 inches long. So, everything is really good. I can not wait until 20 more weeks to hold my baby girl or baby boy...... My family and Jeff's family and a couple of friends is going crazy cause they all want to know what we are having. That they are all working together to find out and all I have to say is our lips are sealed. LOL!!! We want it to be a surprise and they all knew it from the beginning. But, It will be fun. Our kids don't even know what we are having either. Here are some cute pictures of the baby. My favorite is it is sucking its thumb in one of them. Hope you all enjoy.






Here I am at 19 weeks.

Happy Birthday Aspyn

I just want to wish my daughter a Happy birthday. WOW where has the time gone. 6 Big ones. I hope you have a great day.

Dr's appt.

Today, I went to my first Dr's. appt. and he asked me how I was feeling and I told him I have been having cramps and have been spotting for a couple of days and so He did an ultrasound to see how the baby was. WELL, We found out that I am pregnant with twins (fraternal twins) and one came from tubes and the one cme from the other tube. the one on the right was developing 2 weeks behind the other one and the heart beat was 50 and the health baby's heart beat was 140. he said the one must not be getting enough oxygen and that is why it is dying off he said there is only like a 20% chance of it making it. I asked him if it was common and he said it happens in like 35-40% of twins so it is common. So he put me on a 3 week bed rest to see what happens cause if I am going to miscarry it will happen by the 13-14 week. I had my dad and Jeff give me a blessing to help me deal with it. and I have come to reason that the lord give us problems that we can handle and that we can learn from. I know that the baby may only need to come down and get a body and then gets to go to heaven. As we told Aspyn about it. she said " Mom, maybe grandma cassie needed it to stay with her cause she misses you and she loves you." after I cried after she said it I told her "You are probably right." In the picture you can see the baby better on the left side better than the right baby. the baby on the right is so tiny they barely saw it. and the heart beat was so slow. they didn't even think it was even there until they looked at it better.So, I have to keep praying that things will happen for a reason and trust in him. If you look you can see the baby really small on the right side it is a bad picture sorry that was the best one I could take with me camera.

Happy Mothers Day

It is so long but worth the read. Today we had such a great mothers day. We Went to the grave yard a took Grandma Cassie some flowers and Balloons. It was such a beautiful day. The kids had a blast seeing their cousins. here is some pictures of the day and a surprise.



and here is the BEST picture of the day.
Kristina, Tiffany and I. Kristina is having a baby boy (Parker) in Oct. and Tiffany is Due on Christmas eve. and Me I am due Jan 1. it was way cute how Jeff and I told selena and kevin. I wrote this poem saying this...
I do not have a face to see, or put inside a frame. Ido not have a soft cheeks to kiss, I don't have a name. You can't yet hold my tiny hands, 'nor whisper in my ear. It's still too soon to sing me a song, or cuddle me so near. But all will change come winter time, that's when they say I am due. I'll be your sixth grandchild; I can't wait till I meet you. All I ask between now and then is your patience while I grow. I promise I'll be worth the wait, because of all the love we'll know. So have a happy grandmother's day. a wish to you from me. I cannot wait to be a part of this great family!
and when tiffany read it she stopped on the grandchild part and look at sean. (* I knew something was up. I knew she was preggers). and she told sean to take keegans coat off and then said yours won't be the sixth it will be the seventh grandchild. ( keegan had a shirt that said I am going to be a big brother. Congrats tiff and sean we are so happy for you. this picture next is kristina she is so cute. She doesn't even have a belly untill she eats something so after dinner I told her to let me take a picture of her cute belly. before it goes away. she is 18 weeks along and tiny. I love it.

Mothers day

You Were There...
You were there when we took our first steps,
And went unsteadily across the floor.
You pushed and prodded: encouraged and guided,
Until our steps took us out the door...
You worry now "Are they ok?"
Is there more you could have done?
As we walk the paths of our unknown
You wonder"Where have my children gone?"
Where we are is where you have led us,
With your special love you showed us a way,
To believe in ourselves and the decisions we make.
Taking on the challenge of life day-to-day.
And where we go you can be sure,
In spirit you shall never be alone.
For where you are is what matters most to us,
Because to us that will always be home...

Happy Mother's Day to everyone woman out there. You may not be a mom but to someone they look up at you. Happy mother's day to my mom and to Jeff's mom Thanks for being such GREAT moms we love you both. Hope you all have a great day HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY!!!
