a little update! pictures coming soon!

I know, I've had no updates lately. I apologize. I guess I'm not that great at keeping everyone informed! And to top it off, I've been busier than hell since we moved into our new house. The house is completely done (all except Kaylee's nursery, which has been used as a storage for the past two weeks!) We'll be nursery furniture shopping shortly.. we really don't have a choice. Ha! I cannot believe she'll be here in 13 weeks. WOW! Time flies by way too fast. So..here are my recent updates..

The house:
The house is wonderful! I love it soooo much, and couldn't be happier with it. I love living out in the country, because we have no neighbors to worry about and we can ride our quads and Rhino whenever we want. Plus, all our neighbors live close. Yesterday, we met up at Gibson's house and went riding out near Laton and Stoney's area. It was so much fun.. I haven't really done that since high school, so it felt good to be able to be out there again and just enjoy ourselves. There were a ton of families out riding w/ their little kids. It was adorable because their kids were on tiny quads. I told Troy we're so getting one for Kaylee. He said we have to wait until she's at least 6. I was surprised! Normally he'd be the one pushing for her to be riding. Anyway, the house is great.. and things are coming along well. Hopefully we'll be getting a dog closer to this summer. We really want a dog we can take along with us out to the river and on coast trips.

My beautiful daughter:
My pregnancy is going by so fast, but I'm already getting impatient! While I'm enjoying the perks of being pregnant, I want to see her little face and just hold her. I want to hear her first cry in the hospital! I also want my body to go back to NORMAL! These mood swings, and emotional out bursts of crying just are not working for me. Thank God I have a loving and supporting boyfriend who just deals with it. All he cares about is my safety and the baby's well-being. I carry a load of laundry and he asks why I'm doing laundry.. or why I'm cleaning the house.. and he insists on me NOT touching the vacuum cleaner. I'm pregnant, not incapable of living! But I'm glad he's that way. I'm 27 weeks pregnant as of today, so 13 more left. I had a little scare about 2 weeks ago.. I thought I was contracting, but turns out, my body was dehydrated and a little stressed. I went in to the Labor and Delivery in the hospital at around 2 a.m. After they monitored the baby, they released me around 5 a.m. The baby sounded great, and according to my body, I wasn't contracting. THANK GOD! So, now I'm forcing myself to drink a ton of water during the day. Which isn't easy. But dehydration can spark premature labor, so I HAVE to drink, drink, drink! I do not want my little girl here this early. Although, if she was born now, she has an 85% chance of living, which is comforting, but still... on a lighter note, my 3D pics are tomorrow!! I'll post them ASAP! I cannot wait to see her little face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kaylee's Godmother:
For those who do not know, my mom's best friend, Kaylee's Godmother, and practically my second mother Sonia, was involved in a pretty serious car accident on Jan. 14th in the early morning. She was on her way to work on Kansas and 43. She rear-ended a big rig (details are kind of sketchy right now), but what we know is the big rig had no lights on and was making a u-turn in the middle of the road, blocking off all traffic. Well, anyone who lives in this area knows how bad the fog has been this past week, you can't see ANYTHING. Sonia rear-ended the big rig and got rear ended herself. I guess total there were 7 cars involved. She was pinned in her truck - they used the jaws of life to extract her. She's okay, just has a ton of recovering to do. She fractured her ribs, busted her lip pretty good, split her chin open, knocked out some teeth and shifted some teeth out of place. She also chipped some c-spines in her upper neck, and has some pretty bad nerve damage in her lower spine (c-5, c-6, and c-7). She had some bleeding behind her eyes near her forehead, but that has stopped. According to the doctor, she'll never be able to hold her neck up on her own again, so they're going in to do surgery either today or tomorrow and fuse the bone together and place some pins and rods to give her support in her neck. We went and seen her on Saturday and she looks amazing for what she's been through. Her face is still pretty swollen, she has some bad bruising, and her lips and chin don't look all that great, but she's still beautiful and still has her fighter attitude. She'll be okay, just has to recover now. So, please, keep her in your prayers.

Well that's been my life lately! But anyone who knows me, knows my life is crazy. I wouldn't have it any other way! Boring and calm just isn't for me! I'll post pictures later this week (more than likely tomorrow once I get back from Fresno.) My aunt Deb is begging for them..haha.. love you!
