updates ~

my 2 loves !!

this is our garden right before we planted anything in it. I cant wait for fresh peas, carrots, corn, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, cucumbers ETC !!!! This is our garden when we first got here except therewas a huge bush along the left side that brock ripped out all by himself (thanks honey)

NOW what everybody really is isnterested in.... our sweet gracie !!!

She loves to be outside. we will go out there and she just starts squealing at the top of her lungs and it echos through the neighborhood.

Brock took this great candid pic. grace is such a good sleeper

Here is grace Easter sunday.. she had a great time-- i had to work so brock did such a great job getting her ready and taking her to church

Sometimes she gets really hungry and starts eating her fingers

a family picture

Addi & Grace -- I learned how to make owl hats and i made a rabbit one--i think grace knows she looks a little ridiculous in them but she will wear them for me anyway.

Our sweet baby girl is growing up so quick !! I can hardly believe she will be 4 months old next week. She has got such a great personality and she is so sweet to me. when i have to work and watch grace the next day she will just play by me as a i take naps or snuggle with me and take one with me. She is smiling so much and starting to giggle, her giggles are random but they are the sweetest sound to my ears.

Last of all

a quick update on my problems. I have a new GI doctor who i think is so so so great!! and i now have a vascular doc who i meet next week. and of course my favorite & hero Dr. Mark Stevens. I had a CT scan that i previously mentioned and I also had a colonoscopy. the colonoscopy turned out to be all clean and clear and great. but the CT scan showed that my superior mesenteric vein has --in short explaination---some scar tissue and is constricted in one area and has limited blood flow going through it. collateral bloodflow is forming--blood flow that goes around this area. SO like everything i have heard before "we have seen things similar to this before just not this exactly. " so i am kind of a science experiement. they said that they think that the "scar tissue" was formed when my bowel twisted. some of my issues that i have finally taken notice of --- I have stomach aches immediatly after i eat. that feel like gas pain&cramping. lots of issues as far as stools go. --- I am so much more confident in my doctors this go around. I feel like Dr Frech(GI) has really done his job and consulted with those that he needed to and kept me in the loop etc. There are days when i get frustrated and get upset, but I am so greatful to those around me that have supported me and kept me going. I know that everyone struggles with different things. I feel like i have been blessed to have this trial, that i can learn and recover from. and i hope that i can endure it well.

GHOST TOWN

OK... so for those of you still interested --my bowels are STILL going crazy !!! SO much so that I dragged them to the doc again and I am having a CT scan on them this week and a colonoscopy on them next week. really not looking forward to the latter. when i was chatting with my doc and she suggested that we do a colonoscopy scenes of ghost town started playing in my head, and I am a little worried that i am going to wake up from it and start seeing dead people. hopefully it doesnt happen, but ya never know. i will keep you updated !! for a good laugh !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i4M9q_22d8 PS-- My bowels arent twisting or anything--no pain-- just being a little overactive ..TMI? sorry

Bless this bunny

Alright I am not patient enough to move these pics around to the right words so i will just give ya a little highlight explaining some of them. more explination follows!!! ENJOY One of the many faces of Grace

She is going to roll over any second and i think she wants her bunny ears off

Isnt that just the cutest bunny??

ME & GRACE she loves to hang her head down like that when she lays on your lap

Grace in her blessing dress-which was my blessing dress PRETTY OLD DRESS (23yrs)

Jack, Holden, Grace, Addisyn

Addi is such a sweet cousin to grace everytime she calls me on the phone that is her first concern she always asks "wheres gracie" it is so so cute !!!

Jack has his hand on Grace's head and it was funny because nobody told him to do it he just went and sat down and plopped his hand on her head. slowly her head started sagging a bit and we had to rearrange the kids but it was his cute way of him showing us how he takes care of the baby !!

SO it has once again been a long time since i have blogged!! we have been really busy around our house. I started work again in March and I have been loving it, things are slowly but surely coming back to me. I love that i get to go to work and still not miss my little girl growing up. Also we blessed grace this last sunday and it was fabulous !! The whole week before i kept bugging brock asking him what he was going to bless her with and didnt he think he needed to practice and things like that and he just kept telling me that the spirit would guide him. (its a good thing he blessed her and not me or it would have been all written out and not inspired) the whole time brock was so calm and not worried about a thing. finally the big day got here and i noticed a tiny hint of nervousness. and then right before his legs were shakey and i had to tell him that the bishop had announced it was time to bless grace. I have got to say brock did such a good job listening to the spirit. our baby was blessed with everything that she could possibly need. Being the mom i never thought that i would be anxious or emotional about the whole process but i was. there is just something about motherhood that has changed me for the better even if i do get teary eyed a little bit more. Grace was beautiful in her dress . we had family and GREAT friends that traveled for hours to be with us on this special day and I am so so so greatful to all of you for being so kind and generous towards us. WE LOVE YOU!!!

Also in spirit of easter Grace and i did a little photo shoot. Now I am by no means a photographer but we stuck up a background and this is what hapened. I giggle everytime i look at these pictures.

Another thing that grace has been doing lately is rolling over. She started rolling a little bit before she was 2 months but we werent for sure if it was by accident or if she really ment to. especially because she really only does it when she wants to. which is usually about 50 or so times in a row and then she is done for a day or 2

Lots of pics

Well we have been just hanging out taking pictures So here ya go. I go back to work on March 13 and i am going to miss this little girl, but i am very greatful that i get to work nights so i dont miss anything !!

Grace in her swing--- we dont really know what she is doing with her hands but we tried to put them down and she just picked them up and did this all over again..

I know that this picture makes me look like a terrible mom but i was doing laundry and grace started to fuss a bit so i put her in the basket to carry her upstairs and she immediatly stopped and put her hands up and LOVED it i dont know if it was the warm clothes or what --so this was not child abuse !!

Grace and Granny

Grace & Grandpa VO

Grace and Daddy

Grace is 1 month old and time has just flown. I love being a mom more then anything and she is such a sweet girl. She is now what i would call sleeping through the night "mostly" we put her to be around 10 and she wakes up about 5. MOSTLY some night she has a random wake up at 2 and then sleep until 8 sort of a thing but she is only waking up 1 time a night.

She LOVES her swing !! we will put her in it and turn on just the sounds--- not the music, it just doesnt play the right tunes for her. Our dear Grace has bieber fever.... and is in love with garth--- garth brooks !! Sometimes when she cries brock will put on a little "baby baby baby" and grace will stop and follow the phone around.

RSV-Pertusis

Call me paranoid.........

We took Grace for her 2 week check up and the doctor told us that he had sent a couple of kids to the ER just that week for RSV and told us to keep grace at home or just basically away from people. SO if we are socially absent this is why. We love this little girl SO SO SO much and are so proud of her and can't wait to get her out there and share her with everybody BUT..... The last thing i want is this little girl to get sick and end up in the hospital getting poked and suffering because we are excited to show her to everybody!!! so in the mean time i am going to just show her off in pictures. Please please please help us keep our little grace safe. If you have had a cough and it has lasted longer then the common cold you could possibly have pertusis--- this will put babies in the hospital.... so if you have been sick or feel even a tickle in your throat just hold off a little while and observe from the blog !!! Thank you so much ! once again call me paranoid but if my little angel got sick it would be my fault because i am supposed to keep her safe. It would break my heart if she got sick. So call me paranoid.......
