Baby Update

What would one of my pregnancies be without a little drama?? Well, yesterday we were supposed to go to my cousin's wedding in North Platte. In the morning when I was getting ready my lower back was starting to ache and I thoguth I could feel some tightening in my tummy so I called my doctor. Of course he had me go to the hospital in NP to see if I was having some premature labor. I was having a few contractions. They gave me muscle relaxer shots and got the contractions to stop. We spent the night in North Platte and came home this morning. I am just supposed to relax and take it easy. I have to go to the office some time this week. (This has nothing to do with my incision problem.) Soooo, we were told that I could have premature labor (yesterday) and then have nothing again until time to deliver the baby on our scheduled date. We would appreciate your prayers for no early contractions and a well developed, healthy baby!!!!

Love to All!!!

7 Months

Yesterday I had my 7 month check up. Everything is going great!!! The OB/GYN office I go to has four doctors that you have to rotate through. I have chosen the doctor I want to do the c-section, but I was concerned who would deliver the baby if I went before the scheduled date because I could get whoever was on call. I asked about that yesterday and the doctor told me if I really wanted him to deliver I could just request him when I called in and he would come. That made my day!!! I'm scheduled to have a c-section on December 18th! Can't wait!!!

First Day of Preschool

Today was Brendon and Lane's first day of Preschool together. When Brendon woke up this morning he ran down the hall waving his hands in the air saying "It's Preschool Day!!" They had a lot of fun! Anita had a meeting so I stayed at Preschool and watched Faith. She is so sweet!

He's Growing Up!!!

Koby was so excited to mow the lawn by himself! He even had to call Grandma and tell her. Hopefully his excitement lasts another 15 years or so. :)

6 Months

Last week I went to my 6 month check up. Everything is going great! I will be scheduled for a c-section around the 18th of December. Where I went into labor before the boys' scheduled c-sections the drs. are thinking the chances are good that I go before the 18th. Time is going to fly!! Can't wait! Koby's b-day is the 8th so who knows we could have an awesome b-day/Christmas present.

OK....it didn't work

The Lake in Our Yard

We got over 3 inches of rain last night. Our yard has now become a lake. It's cold here and I'm having a hard time keeping Brendon out of the water. He decided he could drive his jeep and get close enough without getting wet.

1st Day of 1st Grade

The boys were up at 5:50 this morning because it was "School Day"! I think Brendon was just as excited as Koby for school to start.

5 Month Checkup

We got an ultrasound on the 9th. The baby was moving all over the place. It was neat to feel and see it at the same time. Right now it is breech, but that doesn't matter with me (c-sections) :) The boys are wanting a sister so Mommy isn't the only girl. I guess we'll see. The top ultrasound is the profile...baby looking at you and the bottom one is the baby's spine. (If you click on the picts you can see it better.)

Working Hard with Dad!

Tony has been priming the out-buildings. The boys LOVE painting with him!
