Nick and I were talking and decided that some pictures needed to come up. Before I put some up, just an update,  I am waiting or trying to wait till after the baby is born to have the surgery. I am in need of it though. That is all I think we need to update on!

 Allie loves to eat big kid food. She tries to feed her self, but only gets super messy!!!!

The pictures below are from her 9 month photo shoot and we love them! We need to take more pictures of her I think!

 Allie and momma, she loves getting pictures taken now :D

Our new life!

Hi guys!!

Almost doing good on writing. :D We have had a crazy week! 

Let me start off by saying how this week went, we had a dr apt for Allie on Monday and it turned out she did have an ear infection on her right side. She is now eating a little bit more, which is good because she is already a peanut!  Then, on Thursday I had my  apt. I love my doctor! He is so amazing! I am grateful to my friends Carly and Kenna for letting me know about him! When I was there I felt completely fine! From there we went up to Salt Lake for my side of the families pictures. We went to Chuck A Rama and then went to Bountiful.  The next morning was our family reunion (Snowbird and Brighton hike) I was feeling super nauseated and we just figured it was me being preggers... I went through the whole day not being able to eat very much at all because it was making me nauseated. Even just the smell of the food made me so sick. At 8 we all ate dinner and I figured that I just got full fast. I was super weak and could not even hold Allie, I was super dizzy. I ended up going to bed at 9 feeling in pain and being so nauseated and dizzy. I was not able to sleep at all because any way I laid or sat I was hurting! Around 10 I started getting hiccups but each hiccup I would throw up a little bit. I went into the bathroom and sat on the toilet while resting my head and with in a couple of seconds I was throwing up SO much! It would not stop coming for literally 5 min. I was so scared and was bawling because the last time that I really threw up was back in the 2nd grade. From then on, I did not sleep I just sat in my bed trying to get comfy but couldnt. I threw up every hour until 5. Finally at five I called my parents down and asked them what they thought I should do. My dad said that it sounded like a gallbladder thing. My mom thought that it was just some sort of virus. 

FINALLY morning came and I went back out to the lobby and tried to eat and drink, but I was sick the instant I got food in my mouth. I did not want to start throwing up again so I opted out of eating. Instead of staying with the family reunion Nick and I decided that we needed to go to the Bountiful Insta Care. So we drove over there and as soon as we got there, we were told that it would be a 40 min wait, but then they saw that I was pregnant and said that I would go next. I went in and they took my vital signs. The nurse left and like a min. later the dr came in and was like you need to go to the ER dont stop anywhere else. 

So we left to the ER ( 15 min away) and they put me up into the Labor and Delivery Unit. They asked me about my delivery plans, so I was thinking they were going to maybe induce me! The nurse eventually let me know what was going on. She told me that they needed to take an ultra sound of my gallbladder because they said that it sounded like something was wrong with it. They gave me an ultrasound after they gave me some Percacet however you spell it... regardless of them giving it to me, it hurt so flippen bad!!!! During the ultra sound there was something on my gallbladder, the tech did not know what it was. Later the nurse said that it was nothing to worry about (after the tech asked if I was ever told that I have cancer?!?!?!).  The nurse was like we are just saying that this was a viral thing and it should go away 24-48 hours after it started.... I was already 24+ into it... but what evs! I could not eat anything at all because everything was making me nauseated and I had this constant sharp pain in my chest down to my ribs. 

When we got down to Cedar City on Sunday, I called the dr on call and he was just about as helpful as the nurse was. He said he could not tell me anything over the phone and to go to the ER or just call my dr on Monday. I decided to just give my dr a call. 

Now, we are here on Monday. I called my dr and told him everything that went on. He said that it sounded like something was wrong with my gallbladder (surprise?). He ordered some labs for me, I went in, got my blood tested and then they called me. He said that the labs were still the same as they were on Saturday, but if things are not better by Wed I would need to go down to St George to have surgery... That is all!!!!

I will let you know how things go!

A much needed update!

Alright, to update you all on our lives, I think it is obvious, but we are expecting baby number 2 on Oct 1. This one is a boy!!!! We cannot wait! This pregnancy has been super easy compared to Allie's. I am 23 weeks along, which means only 17 weeks to go, ASSUMING that this one comes on time and not early. 

We are moving again!!!! We are moving to Cedar City next week so that way we can both start school back up again. I am majoring in Elementary Education and Nick is majoring in Construction Management. We are very excited for that new part of our lives!!!!

An update on Allie- she turns one year old on Friday!!!! We are having a huge birthday party that she would not remember. Her theme is black and white Zebra stripes with hot pink and diamond accent. She has had a lot of pictures taken, but I have not seen them yet. I will post them on Facebook once I get them!

Another exciting adventure!

Well, I decided that I am not good at blogging! So I am sorry about that! I say that I will be better... but then I fail! Ha ha! We shall see! It is hard to take care of my schedule and hop onto the Internet I guess.

Anyway, I owe you all an update!

I started Cosmetology School at Taylor Andrews in January and I LOVE it! we learn so much! I am scheduled to be done in 13 months. We do have a few hiccups. You will want to read everything in this blog.

So in November we decided that we did not want to be living in Logan. We decided not to do the original plan. We wanted to end our brief time in Logan. We thought that the LAEP program was something that we were interested and through a series of events, we decided that was not the road to take. In December, we moved down to the Land Bountiful with Nick's family. That is when we decided that we should try to have me go to hair school. I took a tour with Taylor Andrews and found my self starting by the middle of January. Any way, back to December. I was having such a hard time breathing! We decided that we would make an appointment with a respiratory specialist. The appointment was for Jan 30 at 1:00. Nick and I both had a feeling that there was something more than Asthma.

I started working for a job that I worked with handicapped people. One of the residents was sick and he had the runs and could not stop throwing up. I worked graves which meant I was the only one there taking care of everyone. I had to do a lot of cleaning up, the first night one resident was sick, the next night 4 were, then the last night all 12 were! I was so tired because I was going to school full time and I was also working 50+ hours each week!

We decided that it was the best thing for our family to quit after my body broke down. I kept falling asleep driving to school, and I could not stand because my legs kept giving out on me. Nick had to come get me from school.

We were still waiting for our appointment. On Saturday, I was not feeling well at all! I could not breathe. I was unable to go up or down stairs and I was not able to stand holding Allie. I could only sit with her. On Saturday night, everything was so strange. I could not sleep because I could not breathe and I had a horrible sinus infection to the point that my eyes and my ears hurt way bad!

Nick let me sleep in on Sunday and I stayed asleep ALL day! I was awake for maybe 4 hours that day. Sunday night I could not breathe and usually I do not care and I would not be as worried, I mean after all, I had a doctor appointment the next day. However, we just had a feeling that we needed to go to the Doctor. My breathing was horrible! Turns out that I have Pneumonia really bad. So, today is Wednesday and I have been here since Sunday night. I may get to leave tomorrow! We shall see how things go.

Now, if you want some exciting news, you will have to text or call me! 801-884-3679. You will not regret it! :D

Until next time!
