Baking with Boys

I decided to bake some cookies this morning and when I told the boys they got so excited because they LOVE to eat chocolate chips. So they were sitting in their seats at the counter watching me and as soon as I turned on my blender Kyson said, "Oh mom that's a cool motorcyle (I guess the sound of it reminded him of a motorcycle, he is obessed with motorcycles or engines for that matter). After Kyson's comment both boys were making noise like they were riding their motorcycles. The noise continued until I started to spoon out the cookies onto the cookie sheet and then they became dinosaurs and were trying to eat all the cookie dough. As I was spooning the cookie dough onto the cookie sheet they would open their mouths so wide and make loud noises like dinasours attacking their prey. I seriously had to keep pushing them away just so I could spoon out my cookies.

It's funny to see how their little imaginations take off. Everyday is an adventure with those two. I can't wait to see what number three brings. I watch them all the time and just picture their little brother joining in on the crazy boy life. It is going to be so much fun!!

Boy oh boy

We went to my target ultrasound today and we found out we are having another boy. I am so excited, I think three boys will be so busy, but so much fun. Ever since we found out we were having another baby Tegan has said it is his brother and he was right. I am so excited!!

More fun crafts

For craft night this past week we made these really cute vases. They are made out of old springs from mattresses. I think they are so cute and were super easy. The best part about them too is they were only $3.00!!

This was our craft last month. I was sad I missed craft night because I was so sick, but I was so excited to finally get it done. I love making new decorations for the house. I can change out the paper every holiday so it can stay up all year long and be festive for every holiday. I love it!!

Potty Trained

I am so excited to say that this little goof ball is POTTY TRAINED!! He has done so good and it has been pretty easy. I tried pushing him about a month ago but then I got really sick and gave up and then he just decided he wanted to go in the potty all the time. He even wakes up with dry diapers every morning. Way to go buddy, you are getting so big!!

I can't ever get him to smile normal for a picture. I love his little personality!!

Easter Eggs

The other night for family home evening we talked about Easter, did a easter egg hunt and colored Easter eggs. The boys loved it. It was fun to see them get so excited. They are so fun.

What about the migraine??

So I have not been feeling so good this past week with just a head cold and the usual sickness. On Sunday I got a horrible migraine (which has been happening more and more lately) everything I could take (which is very limited due to pregnancy) was not helping. I was in so much pain all Sunday night and into Monday morning. Thanks to the help of my sister for taking me to the doctor and my brother for watching the kids all day long I went up to the instacare to get help with my migraine. The doctor listened to my concerns and put me up on the table, he listened to my lungs and was very concerned about how my lungs sounded. He told me that we really needed to do a chest x-ray so we double shielded the baby bump and took an x-ray. The doctor came back in and said that my x-ray looked very abnormal and I had a lot of fluid in my right lung. He said it could either be pneumonia or he was worried because of one spot on the x-ray it looked like it could be a blood clot in my lung. He told me he didn't have the capability to test for that at the clinic and I need to go to McKay's ER to rule out a PE.

We headed up to the ER and when I got there the doctor listened to me and said "yep, classic pneumonia" He started some IV antibiotics and drew some blood. Then he came back in and said he was just going to send me home. I told him the whole reason why I came to the ER was to rule out a PE and he just said, nope, I doubt you have that you just have pneumonia. (Well, thanks I could have just been treated at the clinic for pneumonia and not had another outrageous bill)

So we were sent home, being treated for pneumonia,no rule out of a PE and through it all not one person addressed my migraines...AWESOME!! I have a follow up appointment with Dr. Weeks the end of this week so maybe he can help me out with some answers, who knows.

I just want to feel human again, it's been so hard being sick and trying to rest when you are a mother, wife, going to school and trying to work full-time. Let's hope next week will be a better week...the most important thing through all this is the baby is still doing okay thank goodness!!
