We have achieved so much, grown so much closer and have 3 beautiful babies!! :) Trevor is an amazing Husband and Father! He does whatever he can to make sure we are all happy and well taken care of!! I am SO lucky to have as my Eternal Companion!

I love you baby! Thanks for the best 6 years of my Life!! :) Can't wait to spend many more with you!!

Terilyn was so kind to come out to our place Tuesday Night and watch our older 2 children so we could go enjoy dinner alone together (well plus Kyleigh but she slept the whole time) at Olive Garden!! Then we went shopping for Christmas! I am so grateful for the time I get to spend with him. We dont get much time but we sure do make the best of it!! Its the simple moments that make me love him even more!! :)

Christmas Time

Our Beautiful family! I am so blessed to have a wonderful and amazing husband and 3 beautiful and healthy children! I couldn't ask for anything more!

I love them so much!
Lily liked Santa this time!

Christmas Party (church)

We went to our Church Christmas Party last night and had a good time! The skits were cute and some were even pretty funny! :) Then it came time for Santa! Lily did not LIKE Santa at all. Here is a picture to prove it!!

Lily trying oh so hard to escape Santa...

And she is off.....

Kyleigh Rose 1 month old

Wow this 1st month went really quick, I can't believe how fast time goes! Kyleigh is such a happy and good baby! She barely cries and when she does its usually cause she is hungry or she is tired of Lily being in her face! Things she is starting to do.....

- very alert and loves looking around and watching her brother and sister play!

- holds her head up really well

- smiles at us when we talk to her

- sleeping between 4-5 hrs at night

We love this precious little girl and we all cant get enough of her!! Happy 1 month baby girl!

Here are some pictures I took today of her and then played around with the color and what not!

Update on Carsyn and Lily

They are doing good! Carsyn is making good progress with preschool and Lily is starting to talk more and more, still behind a little but its getting better. They are so well behaved and doing great with there new little sister! Carsyn and Lily are best friends! I love watching them play together! They get along more then not and I am so glad they are so close! I just hope it stays this way!

Kyleigh 2 week check-up

Kyleigh had her 2 week doctor visit today and she is doing great! She weighs 9lbs 12oz and is 22in long! I think she might be catching my cold. She is starting to sound stuffy and congested. Nasal Spray and the nose sucker will be our friend for the next few days! She is such a happy baby!!

Kyleigh Rose is Finally here! (2 weeks ago)

So I figured I better blog about Kyleigh's big arrival before I forget!!

On Tuesday, November 9th 2010 (3 days over due date) Trevor and I went to the hospital at 4am to be induced! After getting checked in and all that I got my first dose of cervical gel at 515am and was only 1cm dilated and about 40% effaced. I also got 2 doses of penicillin at that time. Let me just say how much the penicillin sucks. Then I tried resting for a few hours before we had to do the next dose of gel. Well around 815am the nurse came in and said "lets get things going" I didn't expect her to go in all crazy but needless to say she got things going! I was 3cm dilated at this time and about 60% effaced. Then we got up and walked the halls! And HOLY COW did my contractions get stronger! After walking and sitting in the halls for about 30 minutes I couldn't take much more walking so we made our way back to Labor and Delivery. Around 930am the nurse came in to give me another dose of penicillin. I was also checked and 5cm dilated and still 60% effaced. Then around 1030 I couldn't handle the contractions and the pains I was having in my pelvis so we got the epidural . That wasn't so fun either, I almost was willing to do with out the epidural with how much pain the lady was causing me. After finally getting it in I started feeling better. Then shortly after that my water broke all on its own! It was funny cause I wasn't sure if it was my water that broke or if my catheter had fallen out and I was just peeing myself! I wasn't sure cause my water never has broken on its own, they broke it with my other 2 pregnancies! But sure enough it was my water!! Few hours past and I was checked again around 1230pm and was 7-8cm dilated and about 80% effaced. Things are moving right along for me and this is the first time I haven't had to use pitocin!! So besides the gel my body was doing it all on its own!! Around 115pm I wasn't sure if it was time or not so I had the nurse check me again and I was not 8-9 and pretty much effaced! She then told me I needed to slow down because my doctor was in the middle of another delivery. Well it wasn't long after that and Kyleigh wasn't waiting any longer! Trevor went to use the bathroom and the nurse checked me around 135pm and I was fully dilated and effaced. She then told me um he might want to hurry if you want him here with you! So I texted Trevor and he hurried back, in the mean time my nurse got everything ready and then the doctor came running in just in time!

So after 3 pushes and a minute later Kyleigh Rose was born at 139pm on November 9th 2010 weighing in at 9lbs 1oz and 22in long!

So here she is.....

40 weeks and 1 day

STILL NO BABY.... so it looks like we will be induced on Tuesday!

Baby Update- 39 Weeks 4 days

39 weeks 1 day - she has dropped!!

Let me start with Sunday, I woke up having contractions that were making me sick to my stomach, then around 9am or so they started to get more intense then they been! Still nothing to rush to hospital over. So we went about our day, went to church and came home and rested and they still didnt die down, so then we got the kids up from there naps and went over to our friends for dinner and Trick or Treating! I figured walking would always be a plus so that is what we did! LOTS OF WALKING!! I am still having decent contraction at this point and they werent letting up but they werent getting any stronger. Around 10pm we decided I should just go up to OB Triage at Thunderbird to get checked out. Well they hooked me up to the monitor and my contractions are 2 to 3 minutes apart and every other one was pretty decent. So she checked me and I was 1cm dilated no effacing so then we decided to go ahead and stay for an hour or so to see if I would change any. So after about 1.5 hours she came back to check me and I was still only a 1cm so home we went. I was bummed but glad I went cause I could actually get rest that night instead of wondering should we go or should we not.

Well it is now Wednesday and she still isnt showing much more signs of coming! I went to the doctors yesterday everything is still going good with baby and I but I am still only 1cm dilated and still no effacing. This is so weird to me. You would think I would be doing something down there with it being my 3rd and all. My other 2 pregnancies I was already dilated to a 2 and effacing by 37 weeks. Yes I know every pregnancy is different but everyone tells me each one comes faster. So far this one is looking like its going over our due date which is in 3 days!! :) But anyways If Kyleigh doesn't come on her own by next Tuesday November 9th we are going in and evicting her! So she has 6 days to get out before legal matters happen!! hee hee! I will get an IV with medicine shortly after I arrive and then after the medicine been going for a bit they will start the gel and we will go from there! Keeping my fingers crossed for an easy and fast delivery! Just wish my mom could be here with me!!

So that is the update! We shall see what happens over the next few days!!

Halloween 2010

This year the kids were Optimus Prime and a Witch! We took the kids trick-or-treating with friends of ours and we all had a blast! We also were hoping to walk the baby out but baby had other plans!

Here are some pictures...

silly Lily, Carsyn and Tatum!

Baby Update- 38 Weeks 5 days

Yes I am still around.... Monday I had another doctor visit and it was kinda depressing. Everything is going well so I should be happy about that, just wish I was dilating more already instead of un-dilating! I brought up being induced and I cant be yet. I need to be at least a 2cm so we don't run the risk of having to do a c-section and she said she cant strip my membranes because I am GBS positive and that will higher the risk of baby getting it. So its official we are now on Kyleigh's schedule! She is already being a stinker! Yes I know obviously my body and baby aren't ready and I am fine with that. It's just getting harder and harder on my body and for all of us to keep waiting!! :) Its starting to really take a toll on the kids, their behavior has been crazy these last 2 weeks, I can't wait to get back into the normal swing of things and Kyleigh is finally here for us all to adjust!! We have another doctor appointment on Monday and this is the last one before my due date so SHE better hurry up and come cause I really don't want to go over my due date cause then I don't get to see doctor until the 12th and that will make me 41 weeks. EEK!!

Thats the latest! here is my 38 week belly picture enjoy!

Baby Update -37 Weeks 3 Days

37 weeks!

So went to the doctors yesterday and it was very eventful! No weight gain from last week! Baby is doing good. Heart beat 145! Still only 1cm dilated but starting to have some regular contractions! My GBS test came back positive so I will be on medicine while I deliver. This is the first time I have tested positive for GBS so I was kinda bummed and nervous. I also went to the hospital for a NST and ultrasound. I thought I might be leaking fluid and Kyleigh has officially settled down and her movement were way less so they wanted to monitor her for a while to make sure she wasnt stressing out when I had contraction. My fluid looked good and she is doing fine so after being in OB Triage for 3 hours I finally got to go home. I got to see her precious face on ultrasound and she looks just like Lily! I cant wait to hold her and see exactly what she looks like! She might be here this week, the way I been feeling and with everything that has been going on! So that is the update! If she doesnt come before Monday we see the doctor again! So until then, thanks for keeping up with us!

Baby Update- 36 Weeks 2 days

Went to the doctors this morning and all is well! Baby is doing great, heart beat is in low 140's and estimating around 7lbs! I am dilated to 1 cm now! Making progress slowly but surely! Doctor said is she could come any time over the next 4 weeks and they wont stop labor now that I am 36 weeks!! But She needs to stay in at least until after this Sunday since my baby shower is that day! She is still way active! It feels like she is dropping but using that space to stretch out. I think we are gonna have another long baby! :) Go back next Monday! Here are some belly pictures

36 weeks 2 days

Baby Update 35 Weeks 2 days

Today I had a doctors appointment and every thing is going well! Baby is completely head down now and estimated at about 6lbs! Her heartbeat was in the low 140's like it has been the last few visits! She is still WAY active and we actually saw her little foot push up and move from my ribs to my hip last night! We were all stunned to actually notice it being her foot and not just a lump! I am so glad daddy got to see it too! I am also dilated 1/2 cm!! I have never started dilating this early so makes me curious when little miss Kyleigh Rose is going to make a grand entrance! :) The kids are getting more and more excited and cant wait for her to come! Lily is still VERY possessive of "her baby" and gets mad when any one but her touches my belly! Even daddy gets the stink eye when he rubs my belly. Lily is crazy!! :) Go back next week for another doctor visit so until then enjoy this LOVELY (sarcasm) picture below!

I cant believe I actually am posting this crazy picture of my self but it really shows you how huge my belly is, and dont mind my facial expression didnt really think it would be caught on film!

35 Weeks

Schnepf Farm Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch this year! Today was the third day it was open and it was barely busy, we werent use to it. Normally it is packed when we have gone in the past! It was nice, no waiting for rides or games! The kids rode on everything and even did the roller coaster this year! They liked it but Carsyn only rode it once and that was enough for him! :) We had a great time this weekend together and cant believe the weekend is about over! Here are some pictures. Enjoy!
