7 weeks

This week has been really good. I haven't really been sick that much. I'm used to starting feeling really icky by now but I have fleeting moments of it and that's it. Maybe I deserve a easy pregnancy this time around. Really my only complaint is I'm soooooo tired and I get a stuffy nose in the mornings. Not much huh!! I'm growing at record speeds (for me). Has anyone else pregnant with their 6th start growing so fast. It's amazing. I'm sure it's going to slow down, but boy does my body KNOW what to do now. I'm running out of clothes. Fun stuff.

My Cutie

When did she get sooooo big. She's so sweet and makes cute little noises. Boy am I just toooo lucky.

This is a face she always makes.

I love her

Best Friends

Now that Benjamin is older Peter loves to play with him. Today they were playing blanket ghosts. These are the moments that make mommyhood so great.

Cinnamon Rolls

Miriam has been chowing down on cinnamon rolls like crazy.

Happiness

See this boy......... The way he was rejecting the potty I thought for sure I was going to have 3 in diapers come Nov-Dec. I stuck with it and now drum roll please. He's in underwear. He's not 100% potty trained but he's almost there. He knows how to do it, it's just I get side tracked or he does but I've potty trained or in the process of potty training 4 kids. I know it's only a couple weeks away. YAY!!!! Plus we are saving 30 plus dollars a month so that's good. I wonder what the odds are that I could get Miriam potty trained by Nov. She'll only be 2 and a couple of months. I've never got them trained until almost 3 (in benjis case after 3) You know what miracles do happen, and I'm ready for one. We'll see.

6 weeks

Here I am 6 weeks pregnant for the 6th time. Not counting my miscarriages though. I pretty much know the routine. Start off being tired, and I seem to have trouble stopping my eyes from leaking. Everything sets it off. But I have pretty good control when it comes to revealing the water works. Sickness has been at bay until this morning. Yeah it seems as if I hit 6 weeks to the day and BAM. I know it lasts just a little bit but oh it makes the months drag. Jonathan and I are getting some boy feelings this time around. It would make it even but it goes off our little pattern. 2 girls 2 boys 1 girl and ?. We could be completely wrong. I am determined that this is the LAST one. Huh this all sounds familiar. I read back to all my blog posts about my last pregnancy and I read all my feelings about being done, and I laugh. It just shows who is in charge here right.

I have an appointment in 3 weeks. I don't know if these dr.'s are good or not. I'll be rotated through 3 or 4 women Dr.'s. They may put me on progesterone injections once a week to make sure I don't have preterm labor starting at 16 weeks. At least it's not daily. So here we go with another pregnancy adventure.

BEFORE

6 weeks and a ton of bloat!

This better not be a indication that I'm going to be growing super fast.

I think my stomach muscles are shot. Nothing to hold all my insides from being pushed out.

It's not baby. The baby is the size of a sweet pea right now.

Vrrroommmm

Benji loves his car he got for his birthday Grandma Margaret thanks for sending it too him.

Emma

She is such a hugemongous helper. She loves to go what's right. She's always willing to change stinky diapers for me. She was the first in her class to finish 10 book reports that you do on your own time. They don't have a due date either. She just likes to succeed. She's a little dramatic but she's a girl what do you expect. She loves to make you feel loved. I'm so lucky to have her.

Igloos

I forgot to blog about this. How could I?? When I was a kid we made igloos in our backyards quite frequently. We would kind of destroy each others. It was an on going thing. So I HAD to make a igloo with my family. It was super small but it was fun.

Week 5

I can't believe that I'm doing this again. I liked that I kept a journal last time. So I'm doing it again. Just this time I'll take picture of my belly growing more. Well how did this happen?? I guess when the lord wants something he makes a way for it. I'm excited and kind of scared. Six kids is a huge responsibility. But there is a lot of love to be felt with every child you get raise. I'm just starting to feel slightly sick. I'm tired and dizzy. Im so bloated which stinks. I guess it's good to feel the symptoms. I hope i dont get to big to fast. I have an appt april 29th for my first ultrasound. I'll be 9 weeks then. I got my progesterone checked because I've had issues before and it's good. I don't have to take any supplements which will cut down on the icky feeling. I'm due December 1st. I really don't think I'll make it to my due date. Lets hope for a super easy pregnancy and healthy baby. Oh there is this interesting article out there about where the baby implants in the uterus and gender. If you look at an early ultrasound like around 8 weeks and you look in the sack if the baby is on the right of the sack it's a boy and if the baby is on the left it's a girl. I looked at 3 of my kids us pictures and it was right. I couldnt find the other two. The article said that it's about 97% correct. We will see what we see on my ultrasound and it's fun to see if it turns out right again.

Lily's Glasses

I forgot to blog about Lily's glasses. Well she just couldn't see and didn't tell us about it. One eye was 20/100 the other was 20/200. Poor thing. It was so funny when she put them on she had the most amazed look on her face. She looks older and that stinks though

April Fools?

hmmmmmm??????

Utah Weather

The weather around here has been so crazy. It's warmish and then it's snowing all day. Then by the afternoon it's as if it never happened. Crazy

Happy Birthday Bug Wug

I can't believe he's 3 already. He's growing up so fast. I love this little guy. We had my Brothers, 2 of my nieces and my soon to be Sister in law Allison. It was lots of fun.

Fabric Flowers

I'm making as many different kinds of fabric flowers for my girls as I can.

Trip to AZ

We went back to AZ recently to see Jonathan's brother that just got home from his mission. It was lots of fun and LOTS of driving. We got to visit cousins and send time with Daddy. Jonathan has lots of work all the time so during this visit he didn't have to do any work at all. It was nice.

Peter's Funny Faces

My boy make me laugh all the time. He's so funny. I love his silly faces that he makes.

My Babies

Benjamin has been in this "stage" once Miriam was born. 18 months is the time I have to realize that I have tons of fun to look forward to LIKE. He was into everything. He was running off. He was ACTIVE. Not that he's being bad he's just adventurous. But he's going to be 3 soon and that's my magic number. It's the time my kids magically calm wayyyyyyy down. He's still pretty noisy and kinda out of control at church. But it is getting so much better. I love this big little guy.

This is Miriam's monster face. She's in the process of "getting" mommy.

Now that Benjamin is calming down Miriam has hit that "stage". She's nearing 18 months. Although she's VERY different than Benjamin it's still going to be "fun". She's starting to climb. But she'll just sit on the chairs instead of jumping on them and then try to hang from the light above the table. She's isn't fearless like her older brother so I don't think she'll try to run off on her own. She's not so adventurous. But she's just as happy. Church has been a double whammy with both babies not wanting to sit still at all. I love every moment I go through with my wonderful children. Some times at particular moments I think my sanity will go out the window. I know that these moments are to be cherished and enjoyed. They are for my benefit really. I'll gladly take them and learn. I'm so glad I have this opportunity to raise and love 5 wonderful angels.

She LOVES The Piano

See this girl. She tries to get on the piano bench all the time. She loves to pound the piano keys.
And she cries every time I take her down.

Boys for Sale

They will even ship themselves off for you.

No they aren't really for sale.

But they sure enjoyed playing with the boxes we got in the mail.
