My reality check!

I had a baby 7 weeks ago..... wow that went fast!.. anyways. I had my 6 week postpartum check up, and I look good and all but the Dr. said what all Dr's have wanted to say to me my whole life. " You have the WORST medical history I have ever seen!" She only said that because, well, I do! Heart disease, Diabetes, cancer, asthma, stroke, high blood pressure, high colesteral.... the list just goes on and on getting worse and worse!

So she says to me that I need to make sure I stay on top of my weight and make sure Im active and eat healthy because with my dad having the kind of heart attack at the age he did Im a good candidate for one and my brothers are at an even higher risk! Needless to say I already knew this, And I have been working on it for the last year and a half. But she said it and it freaked me out yet again!

Also My little girl has a puking problem, the Dr thought it was reflux and so Ive been treating it as such with meds and not worrying about what Im eating. Then while I was on vacation I had this feeling that I should lay off the fast food and junk that I have been eating like crazy since she has been born. So I did and guess what she has all but stopped puking and is much happier! So as long as Im not eating crap shes happy!

So with these two things going on I have started working out with more purpose and I am only eating healthy foods, such as whole wheat bread for my sandwitch and lots of fruit and Im making dinner and I only have one can of pop a day if that. I have a low calorie ice cream bar for my snack at night and if I get hungry I have more fruit! Plus Im doing a slim fast shake for breakfast to help take off the last 14 pounds I have to lose from my baby weight!

Now to convince Josh he needs to do the same!

We just found out that on his dads side of the family EVERYONE has heart disease! And my husband loves his junk! Not only that but now my kids are going to get it from both sides so I have to make sure WE set a good example for them so they have healthy bodys and healthy life styles!

Who would have thought I would be the kind of person to eat brown rice and wheat bread and turkey burger for the sake of staying alive and to keep my kids healthy!

Life for the next while

So, Life is fun!

We just got back from our Utah vacation. (I dont know why they call it a vacation because I did more running around and was more pressed for time and more stressed out than I was at home!) But it was fun and nice to see everyone. We blessed Teagan and had all the family over and got so see people we wouldnt have other wise!

So now that we are back its back to reality/ normal! Josh is supposed to report on the 29th of this and return to move us out on the 6th. if your not so good with the math thats 7 days... and I have to pay for the ticket back to VA and then again from CA to Mississippi! Anyways.... Josh leaves on the 29th, the movers come to pack things up on the 2nd, the moving truck comes on the 3rd and I have to be out of the house on the 5th, Josh comes back on the 6th, Wayne (Joshs dad) flies in at like midnight on the 6th, I fly out to Utah on the 7th with the 2 kids by myself...., and Josh and his dad drive to Utah that same day, We leave Utah for San Diego on the 15th, we get the keys to our house on the 17th, our stuff gets there on the 20th (fingers crossed) and Christmas eve is the 24th!

*gasp*

And I am de-junking and such...... Oh and My mom and siblings are probably coming to say with us for Christmas!

Im a Mommy... again!

Yes yes yes! Shes here! Teagan Annette Bushman. 7 pounds 14 oz 19.5 inches long! Im finally no longer pregnant! WOOT!

So heres the story.....

On Tuesday I had a Doctors appointment, they were going to check my cervix and strip my membranes and schedule my induction. - Side note I HATE MY DOCTOR- So when I get there the nurse informs me that I will be seeing someone from Portsmouth who never works at the clinic and is a OB/GYN! I was soooo happy. We got in to see her and I was dilated to a 3-4 , she said im closer to a 4 but shell call me a 3 just to be conservative. Then she asked if I wanted to be stripped and I said I would love to! And she did. She said she stripped me so good I should deliver with in 24-48 hours! We were so excited! she said the baby was really high and so I should walk and do squats to bring her down and to dilate faster...... after 3 days of walking, squats and sex, I was still pregnant! So when I woke up on Saturday I came down stairs and told Josh I was done being pregnant and that I was going to have this baby that day even if it kills me. So I had him do acupressure points every hour for 10 min all day. After about 8 hours of contractions every 3 min I called the hospital and they told me to come in! When we got there the nurse was so nice ( most of them are pricks and dont really give off the impression that they give a rats ... about you) She hooked me up to the monitor and got my history and asked how dialated I had been the last time I was checked I told her a 3 and she looked at the monitor and saw the contractions and said then lets check ya! She said I was most defiantly a 4 but could be stretched to a 5 so she wanted me to go walk around the hospital for 2 hours to see if anything would change and if I could get the baby to come down a little further. So we walked and walked and walked. I wore the WRONG shoes, Ihad worn my flip flops and now have a blister on my second toe! So we went back and she checked me again and said I was a 5 so they admitted me!!! I was so happy I almost cried! We got over to Labor and Delivery at about 1Am they hooked me up and check me and did my history and all that jazz and then they asked if I wanted and epidural I said DRUG ME UP! I was on the monitors for about an hour when they came in and decided that the monitor wasnt picking up the contractions because they looked really wimpy - didnt feel like it though- so the nurse told me she was probably going to do an internal one when they broke my water. at 3AM they started me on pitocin. which made them come more often and harder but not enough for the monitor - again they hurt- so at 5AM they had the doctor come in and check me I was a 6 and the baby was still really high, she said it will probably take another few hours so ill break your water and come back in a few to check on you. she broke my water and 30 seconds later I was in AGONY!!!! The doctor thought she had put the monitor in wrong because I was in so much pain so quickly so she pulled it out again then decided it was that my labor had just kicked in to high gear and said she would go get the epidural guy........ I dont think I have ever wanted to die because of pain before but that night I sure did. I had had 3 contractions from hell and got the urge to push though I knew I wasnt supposed to because there was no way I was ready... well I thought so I would just flex my stomach muscles and try not to push 2 contractions later I couldnt stop myself I pushed and peed the bed! The nurse got me cleaned up and with the next contraction realized I was starting to want to push and said stop that youll have to go in for surgery your not dilated enough to do that. so I tried not to with the next one I started to want to again and she yelled at me STOP IT! I yelled back I CANT!! So she looked under the sheet and there was a baby head and then she started yelling for a doctor. Next contraction ( as the bed is being raised and the doctor is just getting to the bottom of the bed and the lights are being switched on and pepole are yelling for stuff) Im screaming in pain and her head comes half way out, it hurt so bad the doctor said one push and youre done So at 5:26AM, half a push later shes out and people are STILL screaming for stuff and coming in and looking for tools and what not. The nurse who had been telling me I wasnt ready to push looked at me and I looked at her and I said I told you I had to push!

I dont think I have ever been in so much intense pain in all my life, nore did I know it was possible for a human to feel that much pain and not die.

As the doctor is delivering my placenta I hear a voice out side the door " Are you ready for your epidural?" It was the anesthesiologist. The nurses yelled back " um too late shes already delivered"

I wanted to kill someone!

There was blood everywhere! I got it in the far corner of the room, BEHIND Joshs bed, up by my head on the floor, EVERYWHERE!

And Josh through all this is freaking out because the last thing he heard was dont push youll need surgery! he was afraid because I was screaming and I dont scream or really do anything when Im in pain. The look on his face after it was all done was priceless. He avoided anywhere close enough for me to hit him!

But shes here! It sucked but shes here. Shes healthy and happy and a really good eater!

Im recovering a million times faster than I did with Hayden, I didnt tear as bad as I did with Hayden and Im able to be much more active than with Hayden so all in all I guess its all good but man I wish I had had my drugs!

Update with Josh!

So.... A couple weeks ago Josh was informed that he had orders to go to Mississippi on July 30th. We had been told he would be here till after the Christmas break. So we were a little stressed since that would mean he would miss the birth of Teagan, and leave me here all alone with a 2 year old and a new born in a place where we dont know all that many people and dont have all that many resources to help me out.

Then last week we were able to work things out to where he isnt leaving until November 29th. This means that hell get to see the birth and spend a few months with her and get to go back to Utah for Halloween (if leave gets approved). Then after he is there for a few weeks he gets to come home for Christmas break ( 2 weeks) which will be nice again for the sake of the kids and my sanity!

We arent certain what is going on with me and the kids as of now but we have heard rumors that they are going to try to get us moved out sometime in January so we can be there when the boys arrive in San Diego. Its not official yet. but if thats the case Josh will again get to come home and take leave to move us out there so again, more time with us!

The other option that they are considering is having us ( there is one other sailor who has a wife and a son (2) and is due the day after me) stay here until the ship pulls into California in June / July and then sending the boys back to get us and move us out then.....

I prefer the other option but I really dont have a say. It really sucks because in talking to the higher ups we found out that Josh and the other guy werent even supposed to come out to Virginia they were supposed to go directly to San Diego BECAUSE they have families where as no one else does. Every one is really confused as to how we ended up here?! Go figure! But We keep praying that we will get to go out in January, and that Joshs ship will be finished ahead of schedule so he can come home sooner!

If you do the math. If Josh ends up being gone till July we will have lived together for 10 out of the 30 months he will have been in the Navy at that point!

Its weird because I keep talking to different wives and they all say they have never heard of people getting such crappy luck with the Navy. No one has ever heard of half the things we have to do and go through but for some reason Josh and I are just that special! I guess God really really loves us??! I dont know! But the good news is that at some point in time we will be in San Diego and we will be closer to family and we will be in nicer weather! No kidding people I hate the weather out here! I like Virginia and the experience is cool but I hate the heat and it is so stinken hot out here! Just one more way we are so very lucky! Record heat this year! It got really hot really early and no one can remember the last time it was this hot! Also the worst allergy year and the worst/ coldest winter! How do we end up getting oh so lucky??!

Pregnancy 2 entry 4

Well Im 33 weeks! woot! That means Im almost done right... RIGHT!!!

I was checked in to the Emergency room the other night because I was having heart attack like symptoms. Chest pressure and pain, labored breathing, pain in my right limbs. Plus you add the dizziness and fainting..... Lets just say I was getting worried. So I check in and they do a couple EKGs and they come back normal, as always. They did my blood pressure and it was supper low. Ive never seem my own numbers that low before... EVER. But everything looked ok and checked out and was fine. They coulnt figure out what was wrong with me so they chalked it up to anxiety and referred me to a shrink so I could try to better control it or talk about it or whatever. I dont think its necessary but, What do ya do.

We have every thing we need for the first 3 months. Want is a different matter but thats ok. We are working on the 3-6 month stuff slowly since it will be here before we know it and we really didnt have to buy as we went with Hayden. In fact we didnt have to buy anything for Hayden till he turned 2. So we are a little nervous about how thats going to work and have decided that staying ahead of schedule is usually the best rout!

I have made 2 tutus. They are supper cute and were way too easy! I cant believe the stores charge 35 dollars for something that cost me 4 to make! I am in the process of making her a blessing blanket and am about half way done. and I plan on making her a Halloween tutu. It would be cheaper than buying her a costume and I think it would be super cute! I saw the ob/gyn today and only gained 2 pounds this month! which is awesome. And most likley due to the fact that its so hot we dont ever stop sweating over here! but whatever it is Im happy! 7 weeks left and my next apt with her isnt until August 27th which will put me at 37 weeks. With Hayden I had already started dilating and was a 3 and 75% effaced when I was 37 weeks. No nothing happened but they say you dilate faster with the second kid so Im a little nervous I wont see her again till the baby is actually born. And she is sending me to a cardiologist because she doesnt agree with the anxiety diagnosis. So yet another doctor for me to see..... hoorah! And she changed my heart burn meds. which is nice because its only one pill a day vs. 2.

Im super tired and cant sleep at night. but I have slept all day today and now go figure Im up late! lol! And when the weather is cool enough we still go for our 2 mile walk every night! So I should be happy I can still walk and such.

Well that about sums it up for now!

Pregnancy 2 entry three

Well, I am officially in my third trimester. As of today I am 28 weeks, 12 more to go! It has been amazing just how fast all the discomforts of the third trimester kick in. I expected to get some of them and slowly add on like I did with Hayden but no...... No this child feels the need to make me very unhappy as soon as possible! No joke. 3 weeks ago I started getting the restless leg syndrome I cant hold my legs still to save my fricken life! The only thing that has helped relieve or at least lessen the problem has been walking. BUT I cant go for walks because its 100+ degrees all day so if im not gone by 7 its too hot and it doesnt cool down till like 12-2 am! It wouldn't be so bad if my migraines werent intensified by heat!!!! So I have the leg issue and as of 2 days ago, I have pregnancy insomnia! No joke as we speak its an hour and a half past my bed time and Im as awake as ever. When I do sleep, Its not so great. Teagan likes to kick and flip and hiccup all night long. And since im carrying her much more forward than Hayden my round ligaments are stretching even more which makes any position uncomfortable! Not to mention the drueling, weird dreams, and having to pee all night regardless of how long ago I just went!

The hormones have been really hard to deal with esp today! I woke up angry and stayed angry..... dont know why..... Just did. And poor Hayden, - most days I have enough patience that I dont have to yell at him that often, ya he gets in trouble but its not all that bad- but for some reason today he decided that he was going to do all the little things that hes not supposed to do and that get on my nerves the most. No they weren't awful things, for the most part, but I was already angry.... Bless his heart though when it came time for nap time
( I of coarse was napping with him) He reached over and started rubbing my shoulder and playing with my hair..... I almost cried I felt so bad! :(

My nesting instinct is kicking in but I dont have the ability to clean because I have Hayden and Im in too much pain most of the time to bend over to clean, so my dishes are always caught up but the floor needs improvement, which drives me NUTS!!!!

I crave celery and peanut butter....Dont know why but have like 3 stalks a day.

I havent gained as much weight as I had with Hayden at this point but I have this fear of gaining much more and I know I will and it makes me mad! Im supposed to gain about 11 additional pounds, I dont wanna! It would put me at gaining 34 in total - average is 35- but still, I dont wanna! and I know ill probably end up gaining more than that, because hey its me and thats how my body rolls..... ha ha get it rolls ..... because its fat.... ha ha . Anyways....

Yes she has been a lot nicer to me than Hayden in most cases but I remember now more than ever why I don't want to have anymore children. It shocks me how much we forget from pregnancy to pregnancy. Well not really forget entirely but more forget the extent of the misery! I knew it would suck and I remember not being able to sleep, but come on people! This time around I cant sleep all day, I have a 2 year old to look after! The next child will be an act of God himself because I really dont want to do this again! Its not fair to my body, or my emotions for that matter! Some people breeze through this crap, I unfortunately dont. It it were easier I would have more but alas.....

I hope the next 12 weeks ( 9 if i have my way) (but I wont) go by quickly and that I dont kill anything important to me!! lol! I laugh only because Im not sure if Im serious or not.......

June

Oh wow! Where to begin?

I guess first of all we found out the gender of the baby. Its going to be a girl! We are going to name her Teagan JoAnn. We have already started decorating her room and have a bunch of clothes for her. Though there is a significant difference in the amount she has and the amount Hayden had..... Baby showers make all the difference! We got a huge deal on her bedding, we went to Target and they had had someone return an online purchase so we got it like 70% off! It was awesome! We are also all registered and have coupons coming in! I love coupons!

Josh got frocked to 3rd class, though we wont see the pay increase till around November. Its still fun for him to feel all important! His command still dont know what they are doing! He was told a few months ago that he was going to be here until after the holiday break, but his Big boss man called him the other day to ask if he had gotten his orders to Mississippi yet? Josh said no I thought I was staying here for the rest of the year. Well I guess the boss guy is under the impression that Josh is going to be in Mississippi In August? So now we have no idea whats going on or how long we will be here..... again!

Hayden is trying his hardest to drive us crazy. His past times include stripping naked and pooping in his room, making huge messes and whining!

But all in all things are going great! Cant really complain!

April

Pink is a festive color right!? well its kinda purple.......

This month is going to be an exciting one. Other than the fact that we were supposed to be in Utah for Easter. This month I had an apt. with a neurologist who finally figured out what has been wrong with me for all these years. I have migraines with aura. Which basically means I have a constant all day every day migraine and I see shiny spots and squiggles! She was the first Dr. to believe me that I have a headache every day. It was nice to have someone believe me and be able to fix the problem. I got a series of pills to take some temporary and 2 daily preventative. But she said that I should start having more energy, fewer stomach aches, my brain should start functioning the way is supposed to (NO MORE FOG) and I will finally get good sleep!

We have 2 baby apts. this month one is just the routine visit to check blood pressure and heart beat and make sure all is well. The other is for Gender! They will look at the heart and umbilical cord and all its little organs and stuff! And we will get the last pictures of the baby until it is born! The day we are doing that is the 29th which is my dads birthday and the 4th anniversary of the day Josh proposed! We are really really excited!

We have decided that unless God tells us other wise, this will be the last kid, for many reasons. Josh is planning on going career. Military life doesn't exactly make having large families easy! I really dont do well being pregnant, It is really hard on my body. And Its really expensive raising kids and this way we will be able to give the ones we have more opportunities that if we had a larger family probably wouldnt be available to them.

Josh Should be ranking up in June. Which will be awesome! More money is always a helpful thing! And as of now he will probably be going to Mississippi in August. I will stay here until he is given the ok to move us to California. He will come home for a few days to move us and then go back. We will (as of now) be leaving somewhere between September and October! Which makes for a little more stress than I was planning but.... Such is our life!

Mom was diagnosed with Cancer in her thyroid. She goes in for surgery on the 26th Carl had 2 close family members pass away and has to have emergency surgery on his neck. He has spurs growing next to and on his spinal chord and the placement could paralyze or kill him if they move or grow too much. Theres a good chance that the operation will put him in a wheel chair or kill him but we are hoping for the best. They are trying to get that one scheduled for 2-3 weeks after moms. So she can take care of him. He is on a plethora of drugs and is non functional at the moment so he cant really take care of her so shes hoping to be recovered enough to take care of him when he gets his! Then he has to have surgery on his shoulder because he has torn his rotator cuff. So there are lots of surgeries coming their way!

DJ turns 18 tomorrow and Brandon 19 today! And we are coming to Utah for sure May 21-26 for a shorter than planned visit but we are looking forward to it!

Well thats about it for this month! We are looking forward to having a fun visit with Dan and Jess they come May! And Hayden is training to be a Nose guard or center! He keeps practicing his down set hikes with Josh and will tackle him repeat!

March....

So as the month of march comes to a close I figured I should post something since im not good at staying on top of things!

I am 15 weeks and hardly showing..... in church today the bishops wife said she could tell but I dont know if that was just to be nice or if she really could?? I have gained 3 pounds which is much better than what I had gained this time with Hayden. And none of my normal pants fit anymore:( I have an appointment to see a neurologist on next month because Im having too many headachs for my doctors liking and I randomly lose sight in one eye! Its always fun here! We have an apt. on the 29th of April to find out the gender of the baby! Its my dads birthday and the 4th anniversary of the day Josh proposed! Its also the day I hit 20 weeks exactly!

Hayden is growing like a weed! He has learned a million words I swear! He says what ever Josh and I say! He likes to sing along with the imagination movers and can open the baby proof doors so if I dont lock the door behind me I have a potty buddy! We kinda sorta started potty training him, by that I mean we would put him there every few hours or when we thought he was going. but he has no interest in actually going!

Josh is starting up a week long class this week which shouldnt be too bad. He has been told hes going to Mississippi around August. But its the military. They NEVER know when they are sending you! But if he goes in August he would move us out to San Diego in Sept. -Oct. time frame which could be interesting to say the least! He has taken the rank advancement test and we should find out the results in June!

We also found out this week that mom has cancer. We dont know how progressed it is yet or if it has spread but we are hoping for the best and she is scheduled surgery for next month (fingers crossed) she says its a 2-3 month recovery but I laughed! The last time she had surgery they told her 2 months recovery it has taken her a year and a half and shes still not all there! So with any luck it will only take like 6 months for her to recover! Carl has a torn rotater cuff and some spurrs in his neck that he needs to have fixed via surgery but he wants to wait till October but.... thats when they will be able to go through the temple and I may or may not be in Utah with a new born and mom may or may not be in working condition! So needless to say I am not looking forward to getting any older!

Joshs brother Brandon got his mission call to Buenos Ares Argentina south. He will be leaving for the MTC July 14th so we are hoping to find a good deal on plane tickets and come out in May.... Joshs time off has already been approved so all we need is tickets and we should be good!(again fingers crossed) Joshs grandparents (Bushman) leave for Germany on their 2nd mission April 5th! They are really excited and we are excited for them!

Today in church Josh and I got called out of class and were asked to be the nursery people. I laughed and we accepted( like I can say no) Its funny because Im not good with kids, which is one reason Josh and I have decided to only have the 2 children..... and I get landed in Nursery! Im thinking its a sign from God telling me 2 will be enough! Im sorta bummed though, church is our only break from Hayden and now we have to teach his class!!!!!

All in all a good month... Long but good! Im really excited for Easter! We are going to die eggs with Hayden and hide them in the back yard. He sorta got it last year but I think hell really enjoy it this year! And this time Josh is here!

Pregnancy 2 entry two

I am 12 weeks today! Do you know what that means? Anyone? Anyone? HA! That means Im 1/3 of the way finished! It also means that in the next few weeks I should be completely done with my morning sickness! Oh what a happy day that will be! I am done already for the most part I feel good more often than not and I'm sleeping better, So I hope that means Im almost done! (fingers crossed)

I have my 2nd apt tomorrow and I will get my first (official) ultra sound and Ill get to listen to the babys heart beat! They will also tell me how big it is and weather or not it is on track or not. Though Josh wont be able to be there which will be really really weird because he went to every apt with Hayden except for the one where they do the blood sugar test, but he didnt want to watch them draw blood hes a bit squeamish!

I have already started showing and I have had to buy maternity clothes because someone made me throw away all my sweats so I actually have to wear clothes this time :) But my belly is sprouting and I have started feeling movement! Not very often and not very strong yet but its still fun to remember by experience the first small tickling flutters of the baby growing in my belly!

I have stopped losing weight. I am back up to where I was ( almost) Im 4 pounds shy of the actual beginning weight but I had gained that much from all the junk I was eating before we had food and junk from moving and such, So I'm not worried! But I do feel huge and my clothes dont fit and this time it sorta sucks more so, because I worked so fetching hard to get that weight off and now I'm about to gain some of it back:( Yes I know its worth all the pain and agony of the hard work Im going to have to do to get back to where I was but...... I already worked so hard!

In other news.... Hayden has officially out grown his changing table. Last night we moved it out of his room and into the baby room and bought Hayden a book shelf thing for his toys and diaper supplies! What a big boy! I'm also hoping that hes getting close to wanting to be potty trained because hell tell us when he needs to be changed really doesnt hide when hes pooping! Its a bitter sweet thing to watch him growing up so fast, and knowing that the next one will grow up just as fast. sniff sniff.

Well thats the latest and greatest in my pregnant life!

Pregnancy 2 entry one

I am pregnant! I found out on Jan 7 actually. Well I knew before that but the test showed positive on that day! Because I'm pregnant, we got a 3 bedroom house in a community that I love and Its right on the beach.

Because Im pregnant I can't enjoy any of it!!!!!

when I was prego with Hayden I was really sick, however, the sick was manageable.... I would get nauseated and throw up and be done for the day. I would also ocationally pass out. When I entered the 3rd trimester it became increasingly hard for me to walk because he had knocked my pelvis out of place and my hip was grinding against it. But he was an easy delivery other than the episiotomy and being huge!

When we decided to get pregnant again I was under the impression that I could expect the same basic misery that I had with the previous one little did I know, THAT DOESNT HAPPEN!

Until I was 6 weeks along I was fine I was still running when the weather permitted, I could clean bend sleep chase Hayden eat the whole 9 yards and I was thinking wow how nice is this?! Evidently being happy during pregnancy is against some law with the man up stairs, because the next day it all began......

I wake up from hardly no sleep and crazy weird dreams to being so shaky or nauseated I can barley walk, I have had the flu 3 times in 2 weeks, I get dizzy upon standing or sitting or any other action than laying down and even then.... I have passed out twice, both with in 2 hours of each other. I was on the flippen toilet the first time and was out for at least an hour, The second was as Josh was hauling me to my bed though this time was only a few seconds long....... I shake to the point I cant stand and I have enormous headaches that last all day and nothing touches them, and cramps that could rival the worlds worst menstrual cramps! And I have lost 7 pounds!!!! Not usually a good thing.....

So given all my symptoms, I went to the ER last night we got there at 8 and got home at 1:15. I explained all my symptoms and after 6 people had heard my story they did an EKG, ultrasound, pelvic exam, urine analysis, IV drip, and took 8 ville of blood! Normally I wouldn't mind all the blood since its just one poke but I had given the same amount 4 days ago... with no cookie afterwards:(

After all the tests and such the doctors came to the conclusion that they had no idea what was wrong with me and told me to come back if I pass out again.... I told them im going to pass out again I did with Hayden its going to happen, but they couldn't explain it my blood pressure was fine I wasnt dehydrated.... NOTHING! But I did get to see my baby and we found out how fast the heart beat was, we didnt get to hear it but its all good. And it was reassuring to know that its ok!

So all in all it was worth it to go in. And lucky for me I have the most amazing husband ever who is very supportive and will do all the little nasty or annoying things to make sure me and the baby are ok, even if it means changing all of Haydens dirty diapers so I dont get sick! You rock Josh! And lucky for me I only have 31 weeks left on this miracle of an adventure they call pregnancy, though I wouldnt mind if it were shorter.......

LIfe is getting GOOD!!!

As of last friday I became a citizen of Virginia! I now live in a very nice military community. I have a HUGE house ( or at least in my opinion). I live right off the beach, I am once again LIVING WITH MY HUSBAND, and I am pregnant! Does life get any better than this? I submit that it can not! ... ok ok having furniture and dishes and clothes would be nice but hey im in a giving mood!

Our house is a 2 story 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath. With all wood floors (even the stairs) We have a good sized back yard that is fenced in with additional storage in the shed out there! Inside the house we have more storage than I can even comprehed at this point! I dont know that we will even use half of it, but Im sure going to try! OH and the very best part about this house is..... I HAVE A DISHWASHER!!!!! It is exactly one mile around the complex if you follow the road so I can easily measure my runs, or walks! We have already been to dinner at one neighbors house and they have 4 kids 3 girls and one boy who is a year older than hayden but they get along great! We have a fun ward who has done more for us in the few short days that we have been here than any of our wards in Utah combined! They are all very genuine and are so willing to help!

Hayden is loving the house He loves to yell and hear him self echo. The nieghbors let us borrow a car for him to ride in and so he spends the majority of the day playing with it and the magnets on the fridge! He and Josh love to play around Hayden can't get enough of his daddy! And I get a nice break I am looking forward to our many adventures that I am sure are to come! Ill try to post more often to keep y'all updated!
