This is OUR crazy life!!
They were all so cute in their shirt and ties!
I love these boys!!!
So today I had my last Doctor appointment before my due date. It didn't go as I was hoping. He checked me to see if I had changed at all from last week and still no change. I was to say just a little disappointed!! I tried to fight back the tears but my doctor could tell I was upset about something and asked if I was ok, and that's when I lost control of my tears. I just told him I was tired of being pregnant. I know that doesn't sound good or nice but it has been a long pregnancy and I have been really active and so my body is very tired. Not to mention my children who don't realize that mommy's tummy isn't a playground, free for them to crawl and jump on. That kinda hurts these days. I've tried to explain it to them but come on they are so young they don't get it. So after discussing what would happen next week if I still haven't progressed and gone into labor on my own, they would do a stress test on the baby and then schedule a c-section for the end of that week, I decided to go ahead and schedule one for the end of this week instead. The reasons behind that is... Corey's work was nice enough to let him have time off for when we have the baby, however they told him his time off must start on the 24th, my due date, if I have not gone into labor before that, in which case he could be off at that time. So with scheduling a c-section at the end of next week he would be off for 1 whole week while I am still pregnant and then spend 4 days in the hospital with me and 3 days at home and then have to go back to work. I didn't like the way that sounded, having a c-section before I know how the recovery is and with 2 small children already at home I want my husband there as much as possible!!! So I told my doc that the end of this week would be much better. Corey could plan on coming home a day early from his 5 day trip and be there for his son's birth. So we went ahead and scheduled it for the end of this week. Saturday Jan. 23rd, 2010 to be exact. We are excited for him to be here! So that is why we are doing another c-section, Corey's schedule, him being able to work as much as possible and still be there for the birth. I had a hard time making this decision, even waiting longer to try and see if my body would do it on it's own, going on several hikes, Ussery pass, Papago Park, and "A" mountain twice, not to mention the several walks and "other" things you can do to try and get things going, but to my disappointment none have seemed to help. I was feeling like a very weak person for making this decision, like I was taking the easy way out or something and got pretty down and hard on myself and Corey was so nice and said, "Hunny, you're amazing, thanks for making this sacrifice of your comfort and body to do so much for all of us! I know it's not fun to recover from a c-section and you're willing to do that for all of us, you're awesome." Or something like that, it was so nice of him to say, and I know he was trying to make me feel better about this decision, and maybe it did help a little. I love that man!!! and I will miss him the next 4 days!!!
Bryant is in love with his kitty and piggy and will not go anywhere without them. It was so cute the other day he took them outside to push them in the swing and then wanted to swing with them so I pushed him for a while until he fell asleep with them and took his nap there. Not the most comfortable spot to sleep but oh well. Daddy moved him a bit later into his crib.
More on what we did for Bryant's birthday later... it was a blast!!!
While I was cleaning my bathrooms the other day my house got uneasily quiet. I went to check on my boys and found them with 8 rolls of toilet paper in their room practicing for their teenage years of teepeeing, not sure if that is how it is spelled?! They did get in trouble, time out and they had to clean it up by themselves. Dallin kept telling me he was too big to pick it up but I told him if he could make the mess he sure as heck could clean it up too. The pictures don't really do it justice though, it was quite a mess!!! They'll be great at decorating peoples houses someday!!!
You know the kind that is hard to bend over or do just about anything with.
These are just some funny pictures of the boys in the car yesterday. Dallin kept saying his hair was cold so I gave him a diaper to put on his hair. They both loved it!
This is Bryant's "cheese" face.
Yesterday we went for a hike over at the Ussery Mountains. It was fun. We took Max the dog with us and he loved it too. He's such an awesome dog, stayed close to us and never ran away. He really loves the boys. It's so funny when they leave the house he whines for them non-stop. Yesterday Corey took the boys to the store with him and Max waited by the door until they got back. He is a very loyal dog!!
Daddy and his boys
The other night I went to the store to stock up on food to make frozen dinners. I made two different meals, Enchiladas and Lasagna. I made 4 enchiladas and 3 lasagnas.
While I was in line at the store for my food some lady asked if I was having twins. I told her no, and she responded, "Wow, you're really big!", I told her I was just due very soon but thanks.
Corey got up on the roof the other day to fix some things and Bryant was on this chair trying to get up also. When I asked him what he was doing he said No take pictures of me!
This was New Year's Eve night, Midnight to be exact. We went outside to shot off poppers and Bryant was a bit shocked!!
Dallin a little too! But they had lots of fun.
While waiting for midnight to roll around we watched some movies.
This was some of the women at the party putting together a puzzle. It was loads of fun!
So here's to a new year and lots of fun!
