This week it was Luke and Erika. We all slept through the whole two hours of church! It was actually pretty awesome. I think we all needed it! Poor Luke with his possible ear infection and Erika with her back hurting and basically just being kind of a wreck. It was daylight savings too which never feels real great. So anyway. Hopefully this is our last Sunday of sickness! I'm crossing my fingers! We also had to miss the family meeting which didn't make anyone very happy. 3-10-19
20 WEEKS AND 4 DAYS- ULTRASOUND DVD
So the doctor's office finally decided to admit that THEY SCREWED UP!! Although they made me drag it out of them. Just kidding. Sort of. So we left without our DVD and apparently the tech recorded the next patient's video onto OUR DVD. Then sent it home with them. Probably against some privacy practices if you ask me. It has all my pertinent information on it. Which I don't really care about, but was TOTALLY BUMMED to hear that they can no longer give me MY video! They will have to redo it if I want a video. I'm too sentimental to just be okay with that, but I'll work on it. I can't have an ultrasound video for EVERYONE BUT NUMBER NINE!!!! (which actually, I don't know if I even still have everyone else's. Some of them were on VHS too, which... who knows when we'll see those again? So maybe I shouldn't really care...) Anyway. They called and told me the news on Monday. I was bummed. 3-11-19
MUSIC MAKERS RAINBOWS
I made little rainbow things for movement time! I'm just super proud of myself for making an effort and doing something special for it. Not really a big deal, but right now... kinda is. And I'm so happy to report- Molly is asking for Music Makers everyday again! She's loving it again! Very happy. 3-11-19
WOODS CROSS @ DAVIS LAX
Kelly's team KILLED Woods Cross on Monday- 13-1!!! So lots of fun there :). And this was even with the coaches telling them to stop scoring!! Fun game! 3-11-19
20 WEEKS AND 4 DAYS- PARTIAL PLACENTA PREVIA
So Dr. Thackeray called me Monday evening. At first I thought he was going to apologize for them losing my DVD but when he didn't mention anything about that, I remembered that he said if they found anything questionable on my ultrasound he would call this week. I got a little worried, but he's so good at downplaying things, I didn't actually feel worried until after the phone call. So anyway. I guess my placenta looked really low on the ultrasound and the radiologist declared it a partial placenta previa. Thackeray didn't feel like it was that bad, and is hopeful that it will move back up- it was looking so good in my previous ultrasound- so he just explained what that meant for me. I guess because I've had several c-sections that increases the chances of the placenta moving up in the front and basically getting mixed in with the previous incisions. It has a tendency to attach deeper than it is supposed. So anyway. He said that if that happens, which is called Placenta Accreta, there is a possibility I would need a hysterectomy when I deliver the baby. This is actually best case scenario. The other dilemmas would be premature delivery if I am having any issues with heavy bleeding. Kind of scary. I mean back in the old days people used to bleed to death from this, so I guess it's good that that doesn't usually happen anymore. It was weird because whenever I heard about Placenta Previa in the past it meant c-section, which for me is not a big deal- that's what we do! But then when I considered the premature delivery or the possibility of other complications... it got a little scarier. I was surprised with how good I felt about the hysterectomy. I mean, I don't WANT a hysterectomy, mainly because I don't want to go crazy, I would be more okay with tying my tubes if we're just talking about birth control, but I was surprisingly okay with this solution. Maybe because it's the only solution in that scenario. And maybe I live in a that-can't-happen-to-me world and it really hasn't hit, but anyway. He didn't mention bed rest or anything and really, just downplayed it a lot, so I don't stress, but he does want to check things again when I come for my next appointment. Nothing I can do about it. Just what this control freak needs :).
So now that I shared the bad news- here's the good news- I asked Nate for a blessing before going to bed (I was a little bit of a wreck by the end of the evening despite how cool and calm I was on the phone with Thackeray). It was the most calming, most reassuring blessing I have had in a really long time! Like I don't remember ever feeling so relieved! And this is great considering this whole pregnancy started with an "It's going to be hard" prompting from the Spirit. He told me that the timing of this baby, her coming to our family and me raising her, is in the Lord's hands! That he is in control of the situation and has calculated it just so. It is all in his timing. That was nice because I had been worried that she or I wasn't going to make it and this reassurance that I will have her and raise her was priceless. Then he talked about all the people around me who are helping me, people I can see and people I cannot see. It was really cool. I am so grateful for the Priesthood and for the blessing of family and that I do have people looking out for me all the time. There were other things, the whole blessing was very nice and very reassuring! We had just been talking about faith last week and how when we put our trust in the Lord, we can rest (speaking of the Disciples on the ship in the storm- if they had had more faith and trusted in Heavenly Father- they could have been sleeping as well). I am going to give this one to the Lord and let Him deal with it. I have no control, so I can just trust in Him and His ability to pull me out of this one. I am not worried about the outcome. Maybe a little anxious to see how it all plays out and what kind of "hard" it ends up being, but I want Him to know that I have faith that what is best for our family, for me, for our baby, will happen! 3-11-19
FHE
Noah taught the lesson about doing our part in our callings and in our family with a cute little puzzle he cut out and pointed out that it only works if we all put our part in. Very clever, thought of it himself! We played Four Corners for Erika's game and had Drumsticks for Jack's treat! It was a good one! 3-11-19
EAR INFECTION
Well, it was confirmed- Luke has an ear infection. And apparently I'm the worst mom ever for making him stick it out for four days! We got him some antibiotics and he is basically back to normal! It was so awesome to hear him quoting some kids at school when he got home Wednesday- it was a "Lukey's back!" moment for me! I missed him! 3-12-19
WRESTLING- BRAD
Brad finally got another match! He won! Took six minutes to pin the guy, but he did it!! I was so proud of him! He's getting so good! 3-12-19
CHRIST'S YOKE IS EASY
For family study time tonight we talked about how Christ's yoke is easy and light. I had Nate get out his heavy weights and we connected them to a pole and had the kids try pushing them on their own and then had Nate get in the yoke with them and push it together- Kelly made me happy when she kept saying how cool it was to see it like that. I think it helped! I'm happy we're getting the hang of the Come Follow Me studying. We've been doing so good! 3-12-19
MOLLY
Molly likes to slide down the stairs on her belly, then she gets up, licks her finger and wipes it on her belly. It's hilarious. Then she says, "Dat what I ahways do." 3-15-19
BRAD AND LUKE CHOIR CONCERT
We got to go and watch Luke and Brad sing o
n Friday night! They did great and had some really hard, but very cool songs! Such a fun time! 3-15-19
WOMEN'S CONFERENCE
Charity, Kelly and I got to go to the Stake Women's Conference thing on Saturday. It was so awesome! They just had two speakers and then food after. I really loved Brook Romney's talk. I could really relate to a lot of the things she was talking about. About Self Worth. I liked reminiscing about those early years, pre-blogging, pre-comparing years when I thought I was all that and a bag of chips :). Fun stuff. It was a neat meeting though. Glad we went! I liked spending time with Charity and Kelly as well. Good stuff. 3-16-19
BASEBALL PARK- FIRST TIME THIS SEASON!
I took the kids to the Baseball park to finish off the weekend. Lots of fun!! 3-16-19
LAST DAY OF SEAGULL BOOK
Charity put in her last day at her first job. It's a little bitter sweet for me. I really wanted her to like that job. It wasn't what she needed though. Although, I do wish she had found a new job before quitting too... I think she's going to enjoy being unemployed too much. Anyway- it is nice to not have to drive up to Layton everyday and hear about Joan. Crappy bosses are not fun. 3-16-19
