It looks like we have hockey players!!!!

Ok Lily is missing 2 1/2 teeth, She's finally getting one of her top front teeth in. Emma lost her top front tooth as well. It's not very common for a 5 year old to loose those teeth. The normal age to loose them is in 1st grade. Emma also told me that she is the only one in her class with a top front tooth missing. So yesterday she hit her mouth on something and knocked it really loose. So out it came.  

 

look at all those missing teeth. We don't have them on a hockey team or anything. Really we don't.  ;)

My Pregnancy Journal Week 5

Ok since this is my last pregnancy. I'm going to document it weekly. (I hope I do). In doing this I'm going to put down highlights and lowlights (is that a word?) of my pregnancy. I know that it's early and my miscarriage rate is high, but with a great dr. I think I'll be fine.

Yesterday after my appointment I went to get some blood work done. HCG (the pregnancy hormone) and Progesterone (keeps the baby alive until the placenta kicks in at 12 weeks. When I was pregnant with Benjamin it's was too low so I had to be suplamented with a synthetic Progesterone. I thought that was a fluke, not to happen again. 

I got a call this morning that my HCG was great right where it should be. But my progesterone is too low so again I have to be  put back on progesterone suppilments. They are not cheap and make you dizzy, increased pregnancy symptoms. Not very excited about that as I dislike taking pills. In fact as I write this I feel dizzy and tired. Just gotta love it. The blessing out ways the trials. So in three days I'm going to get retested. So I hope that I don't get put back on more progesterone if I doesn't go up enough. So as too the comment that this is my last baby, I just can't handle the fact that I have such a high rate of miscarriage and have to do so much testing. I'd just rather be happy with 5 kids and stay sane. 

I know that I didn't expect this baby to come soooooo soon, but I tend to get very attached to my babies right away. So I do worry about the outcome of my baby that I'm growing. 

I'm excited to record all the aspects of my pregnancy (Not the too personal and uncomfortable parts. Don't worry). 

Sorry if this is kind of scatter brained that is what I am right now. 

Another installment in 1 week. 

BIG HUGE SURPRISE!!!!!!!!

warning: this is a little personal

So I had my last cycle back in October.........  when I was 2 weeks late I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. So not pregnant. Well I'm nursing so that could do it, but never happened before. I have PCOS so that could make my cycles irregular, and very long. So I thought for sure that's got to be it. So every once and a while I would take a test and receive a negative result. So I thought my PCOS is worse and that I would be able to get pregnant without the help of fertility drugs again. I wasn't liking the thought of that and infertility was becoming a reality. I remember talking to several friends about it. Now it's January and still the absence of my cycle. I was getting tired, sense of smell is going up, emotional, and slightly sick. I call the Dr. for an appointment to see what in the world is going on. Saturday Jonathan and I were at his parents house and he was telling everyone that I might be pregnant. I say "no I'm not". Jonathan says "but your face has a pregnant look to it". I get a resolve in my mind that I would prove him wrong. So I head to the store to get some things for Lily's B-day party. As I'm there I pick up a pregnancy test. After I got home I take the test and wait for the results that I just"know" that they are negative AGAIN!! But that pink line that tells you that you are pregnant shows up within a half a second. I looked at that pregnancy test and thought wait what line am I looking at. I have to be looking at the wrong line. Then the test line shows up. OHHHHHH WAIT............. I have two line. So I start breathing really hard and call for Jonathan to come down the stairs. I just hold up the test for him to see cause I can't even talk. I'm not going to lie I did start to cry out of shock and worry. I just had a baby......... I'm not supposed to be able to get pregnant like this.......... I wanted more time to baby Benjamin........... I wanted to lose more weight......... 5 KIDS wow!!! So many things going through my mind as Jonathan held me and told me it would be ok. Jonathan was just so excited, and was a great support as I was just about to freak out. So I was just about to have people come over for Lily's bday party. I think I did pretty well. So now WHEN am I due. I have not had my cycle since October. Could I really be that far along. 15 weeks and not even know it. I could be due anywhere from july to the end of sept. Luckily I had scheduled an appointment with my Dr. for Tuesday (today). So I went in and told them the situation. My Dr. did a ultrasound and we find out that I am only 5 weeks along and the baby is so small that we could hardly see it. So in 2 weeks I go in for another ultrasound to see a more accurate date, and a heartbeat. I'm at the point where I'm am excited, and looking at the positive side to this and can't wait to meet our last little baby to grace our family. 

See just a little line in the black circle. Just too little to see anything. 

Such a good Daddy!!!

I found a great opportunity to get a great picture. So precious. Jonathan is really a great Daddy. He loves to teach the kids great principals. Whenever we head out to Mesa he is usually teaching the kids about really important things. Like stories from the scriptures, or life lessons, and how to relate with peers. He really boosts their self esteem as well as he is always calling the girls pretty and showing lots of love to all the kids. He really does want all of our kids to excell in every area of life and love that quality in him. I sure lucked out. 

Benjamins Progress

Benji is getting really good at walking. He is such a good little boy. 

100 day!!!

     It was the 100th day of school today so I put 100 hair things in Emma's hair. Lily got to do it last year and now Emma was so excited that was her turn. It took me about 30 mins to do it.

Happy Bday Lily!!!!

         Saturday was Lily's Bday and she got her door decorated and some cupcakes.                                                                             This is how Jonathan lights a candle with a mini torch.                                                                                                      
Peter wanted to blow out the candle too so I let him. 

                                                                                           Also that night we played a new game we just got. "Would you rather" it was so much fun. The challenges were hillarious. I had to lap water out of a cup like a cat. (don't know how cats do it)

Poor Joseph had to get posed by us and stand like that through two players turns. He was starting to get a charley horse. But hey he won the game with that challenge. Christina had to makeup a cheer that lasted 90 seconds. It was all about Lily and Emma and they loved it. It sure was a fun night. 

Christmas Rainbow

I forgot to post this. As we were driving home from Jonathan's parents house on Christmas day we saw the brightest rainbow ever. It was huge as well. So beautiful, and appropriate for Christmas, a simple of peace. That is what we got with the savior coming to this world to redeem us all. 

Bunk Beds, and Honor Roll.

Lily got on the honor roll again for this quarter. Emma is in Kindergarten so they don't have honor roll but she did get straight A's again. I have such smart little girls. Oh do you notice how much shorter Lily is than everyone in her class. 

We were given this bunk bed and it has given the girls alot more room in their bedroom. I was alittle scared to put Lily on the top bunk as she wakes up at night very disoriented. She's done great on it though. Emma loves being on the bottom bunk. 

More fun.

Here is some fun we had at home. Peter making a makeshift slide, huck using the stairs, and Peter telling you about himself some. 

A tale to tell.

Once upon a time in the land of Arizona the Queen of Creek put forth a decree that all should let loose and do what they do best. It's going to be one day of just fun.




Lady Lily read a book of many pages with rockin' fraggles. Brave Benji showed of his accomplishment in cutting two teeth

Proper Peter was discouraged that he couldn't stand on his head at the annual town tournament.

But to Proper Peter's delight, Enchanting Emma tutored him in the ways of head standing.

And she made it possible for him to lock down the gold in goofy face making.

He did well and his reply was a squeal of utter euphoria!


Enchanting Emma was the previous record holder for goofy face making.

But Peter wanted all the glory. So away she went. . . And Peter won the cup!

Lady Lily, Enchanting Emma, and Proper Peter enjoyed a fun filled day of height comparison, wearing jackets just to small, and being slightly shorter than her little sister. (does emma look taller than lily?)

By the end of this tale Proper Peter learned a new talent of blinding all the towns folk with a strange blast of light. Jolly Jonathan brought the joy to the face of Enchanting Emma by yanking a long-awaited, wiggly, front tooth.

Emma at the ripe old age of 5 years lost a pearly white, and had aspirations of fairies from the land of tooth visiting in the night.
