A little freaked out!

So I had my routine Dr. appointment yesterday and it was the first time I have been without Eric due to the kiddies sleeping. But, I figured no big deal some pee, a weight, a measurement and I would be outta there. I was wrong. I told my Dr. that these little contractions (which I have been having the whole pregnancy) are getting to be uncomfortable. He said that he could do a quick check to help make me feel a little better. I agreed. Well turns out that I am dilated to a 2 and 60%. WHAT!!! I have never had any problems what-so-ever with my other two so the shock set in. He was tempted to put me on bed rest but decided to see me next week instead. He told me to rest, stay really hydrated and gave me a prescription of Trebutaline to take when I get the contractions to help stop them. So I guess that means no packing for me. I will just have to be the one giving out the commands and orders. But hey, I am pretty good at that too!! He, he, he.

WE DID IT!!!

!!!!YIPPEE!!!
Our house is sold!
Now we just need to find one that we want to move into. We have to be outta here on the 5th(Eric's Birthday) so if anyone is going to be bored this weekend I could put you to work. We are probably going to stay out in this area unless we find the house of our dreams in Farmington or Kaysville, but that is as close as we will get due to Eric's job.
Yes this is quite a fun thing to deal with right now....Selling a house....Buying a house......Having a Baby.....what were we thinking. I really want to be able to bring our baby home to a new house so I better start being serious about this house hunting.
Wish us luck and pray that all this stress doesn't put me into early labor, I still have 2 Months.

All is well....

Getting better, the family is finally healthy again and Eric's surgery went well. He is still a little sore at the incision sites but doing well. We may be on the path of selling our house. Yippee!! We got an offer and if all goes as planned I will be moving on my birthday! SO.....if any of you have some spare time and would like to help the cause of "big prego and half gimp" we will really need help in getting all packed in a week. We should find out tomorrow or Friday if it is a go. Yes that would give us just seven days to pack our whole house. Good thing we starting putting things in boxes as we de-cluttered to sell. I have been bad with pictures lately and don't have any worth posting about so hopefully we will get some before we leave our first home together as a family. Oh and we don't have a house to move into either so I am frantically searching all the real estate sites in my spare time and I am sick of looking for a house. Hopefully we will find one or we will be moving in with Eric's parents.....Thanks Mark and Ann. That will be a lifesaver. So for now we are sitting on the top of the wall not knowing which side to jump to. Keep your fingers crossed and wish us luck and I am serious when I say I will need help!!!!

WE ARE ALIVE......Barely

I know you are all dying to hear how we are doing and what has been going on the past little while so here it is all in a nut shell......
The Holidays have taken there toll on us all. I have been meaning to get some posting done and I am still trying to get into the swing of things and back to a normal schedule. Or at least what I think is normal.
Christmas was great, as I think it is every year. I am the worst at being super excited for everyone else. I couldn't get to sleep and then I thought I was going to have to wake up Kimberlen in the morning. She, however, woke up shortly after I got up and turned on the lights set up the video camera and got Eric up. He was the one that tortured us.....he took a shower before we could open presents. Ughh! Then he woke Maycee up and that was the end of that. She was super cute. She would look at her presents and then show us and look at it again and then say "more present please". It was the sweetest thing. Kimberlen had fun knowing what most of the gifts were this year and she did so well at keeping them a secret from everyone. It was going great until we opened the blinds and saw the snow blowing horizontally. I only got a few random pictures here and there since I was using the video camera to capture most of the the day We got dressed loaded the car, went and opened presents with Eric's family and had a nice breakfast. Returned home, unloaded the car then loaded it again and left for my parents. Luckily the long drive to my parents was not snowy. We opened presents there and had a nice dinner. The kids played, meaning all of us and during this the snow started again. It took us an hour and a half and not more than 25 mph to get home. When we shut the garage door I finally took a sigh of relief.
The next day Kimberlen woke up sick, very hoarse and coughing. Eric got sick on Christmas with what we started to think was his Gallbladder. A couple days later Maycee got sick. On New Years Eve we put the kids to bed with Vicks on there chest and the humidifier running and went to bed about 9. The neighbors woke me up screaming and banging on pots and pans and I told Eric "Happy New Year" and went back to sleep. Yes we are big PARTY animals!
We have had some nice and relaxing days since that but Maycee is still a little sick with a cough. Kimberlen is feeling better and has enjoyed going back to school. Eric is scheduled for surgery on his gallbladder on Friday and I am the only one that has stayed well during all of this. Thankgoodness and knock on wood since I hate being sick while I am Pregnant.
By the way, the pregnancy is going good and the little girl is growing and moving rapidly.
I will put some pictures on later (the ones I actually have).

"Oh, Christmas Tree"

So here is a picture of my poor old Christmas tree. I know I need a new one (thanks Des) so I am planning on buying a new one after Christmas. Pictures really don't do trees justice as I am discovering but at least I posted mine. We put cinnamon pine cones and red berry picks with red-white ribbon, popcorn string and little red ribbons tied to the branches. Kimberlen had quite a fun time helping decorate the tree this year and I did really well with just letting her do it.
Merry Christmas to all!!!

The other night Kimberlen wanted to sit in her jammies, watch tv and eat popcorn, so we did. Maycee sure thought it was pretty neat.

They both laughed and giggled all night. There was popcorn all over!

Little miss "Sassy pants" thinks she is super cute!

The bowl sitting in Maycee's lap was her favorite. I practically had to rip her little fingers off of it when they were done.

I know you are all thinking that is a lot of popcorn but we are going to string some up on our Christmas tree. That picture is to follow.

Girls Night Dinner

Better late than never, I always say. We had such a fun time! Thanks for all the laughs and great friendships. I cherish them all.
Of course I had to include a picture of the great dessert, and all of you look like you are fighting over it.

New Hair Cut

Since me last hair cut grew out I have had a really rough time finding a new one. I had one that was really bad that is why nobody saw it. This is what we came up with last night. It is similar to the last one but there are a ton more layers and it is thinned really good. It has been a long time since I have had this short of hair but I do like it.
