Ultrasound & Big sigh of relief

We had our feared ultrasound

MY PLACENTA MOVED UP AWAY FROM MY CERVIX

HOORAY

we all took a big breath of relief

We still are going to be suprised, we did sooooo good at the ultrasound and turned our heads ( no cheating)

The baby is healthy and is definatley a BOY or a GIRL

I uploaded a little of the video so you can see our little miracle

Jaxson turns 5

Jaxsons Big Day

was crazy busy

it started with all the normal stuff; family eating cake for breakfast, singing, & presents

next school

where he did his walk around the sun, so cool

all the kids sit around the "sun" (the yellow circle) and mom brings a poster of each trip around the sun he has made in this case 5 he is starting his sixth, we talk about each year and show pictures then he takes the "earth" (the globe) on its orbit around the sun as the children sing the earth goes around the sun it takes 12 month 52 week 365 days if this doesn't make sense trust me it is really cool and helps the kids get an understanding of what a year means

next his teacher and mother tell him what they like about him I CRIED LIKE A BABY but so did Miss Ali

next we were off to MCDonalds to celebrate with the Dial crew
( they got grills in the birthday bags )

next a big soccer big soccer game ** we lost big ** oh well no one really knows or cares at this age especially the kids

finally CHUCK E CHEESE with Grandma , Grandpa & the tios

YIKES it was crazy notice how tired the B-day boy is

Baby ?

Do you know what you are having, a boy or girl?

This is a question I have been hearing alot lately, so I would like to clear it up with at least all those who read this little blog.

We are not going to find out. In our last ultrasound the tech almost blabbed, luckily we caught her before she said it.

We are hoping that this will continue to be possible as it looks like we are going to have lots of ultrasounds with this one. I have been diagnosed with partial placenta previa, this just means the placenta is partially covering the cervix. Because the placenta is so vascular and it is sitting partially over and opening( cervix) I have had lots of bleeding, but only one ER visit so far.

The Hope:

My placenta will move upward with my growing uterus

My placenta will stay firmly attached even if it doesn't move

The Worry:

C-section ( unavoidable if placenta stays in current position)

Abruption

Hospitalized bed rest in the last weeks

We are hoping and praying the placenta moves up and we will have another ultrasound on September 20th then we should have an idea what the rest of the pregnancy holds.

Lavendar Day's

We went to Young Living Farms the other weekend for Lavender Day's

it was a blast there were many activities for the kids; pony rides, rock climbing, inflatable slides, peddle boat, and much more.

The best part of the whole day is that the air all around the lavender fields smells of lavender. It was so enjoyable simply because of the fragrant air.

We had a great day!

HAPPY THREE MY BEAUTIFUL SON

April 28, 2007

You are kind

You are sneaky

You love animals

You love your brother and sister

You make my days brighter with your smiles

I am in major training.............

I am training to be a head teacher at the Montessori School. This is wonderful and makes me very busy. Emeline is in my class so she is with me the whole time and Liam is in preschool, and Jaxson is getting ready for Kindergarten.

This is an amazing blessing. I wouldn't have my children learning anywhere else. I am excited because I only teach from 9-1 and then I have all my kids with me. Also I am just down the hall from all my kids.

To My Daughter

Happy Birthday My Beauty

You could not be more loved, more prayed for, or more wonderful

You are 16 pounds
You have the sweetest disposition
You love your brothers
You love to give and recieve kisses
You love Baby dolls & all things girly
(yet you hold your own with the boyz)
Your smile can light up a room
You love the books Polka Dot Pig & the Paper Bag Princess
You are scared of animals, unless I am holding you (even our fish)
You will dance to any music that comes on, but your fav is Hips Don't Lie by Shakira
