11:05AM - Hey :)

Wow sorry i havn't put a blog up in awhile but i have a good one to do so i will now :). Kali is now 3 and is so a 3 year old. Still working on potty training not realy working at all lol. But we are trying. well kinda i could try harder. Kaleb is crawling everywhere and holding furniture to walk with. He'll be walking any day now. Sad he's so ahead of everything he should be doing. Josh and i are buying a house that we are living in. Wow it's amazing. THe people left the whole entertainment center So all we needed was a couch. Then they left a full sized pool table that was built for this basement. The basement is fully finished so it has two large bedrooms one we have a twin sized bed in and it's the kids play room The other is empty but will have a queen bed in. Then there is a 6th bedroom that is just storage it isn't finished but has shelves and everything for storage it's awsome. upstairs there are 3 bedrooms one that is a jugle mural on the wall is kalebs room. Kali has her "princess room" we bought her a cinderella cariage bed :). It's so cute! Then josh and i have our bedroom which all our furniture fits in and it's still large. we have a huge walk in closet and a bathroom with both a tub and a shower seperate. We have it all put together so no more box's. The yard is beautiful and we live in between our landscaper and the elders quarum president. The neighborhood and ward are amazing! Just amazing it's awsome. Kali loves her nursry class. Josh got a new job working for ancestry.com. He's happy and it pays well. The condo is finally sold completely. So no more worrying about that. I was going to school but droped out. I couldn't do both kids and house and school. My kids were suffering from not having any time w/mom. Me and josh are doing so well. It's great we spent the weekend just being us no computers just us as a family. Kali and josh made a snowman on sunday our first snow of the season. It's great. So i dunno what else to tell. Just let ya'll know im happy and healthy and all is well :).

9:51AM - surgery cancled

Well went in for my 6 week check up a week early... Talked to dr did some tests and had that awful visit. Well as he was checkin for the surgery he noticed i have cycsts on my overies again.. HE says if we go in to do the tubal right now it wouldnt be a good thing. So he asked if i would do an iud instead. So we went over the options and no matter what it doesnt' change my outcome IF in 5 years everything goes perfect and i start the pg w/him we COULD try again MAYBE. BIG MAYBE. But it doesn't close that door. If there is a problem w/the iud then i go into surgery and we do the tubal then if they r clear. So either way it wouldn't change that. So as im there he puts it in MAN that hurt! Still sore! Having it done 5 weeks after giving birth when i still have a bladder infection SUCKS. So yeah ....

My sil adopted her 12th!!! child yesterday still havn't gone to see him. He's 6lbs 10 oz. Tiny lil man.

Josh stole my car today so i have a feeling it's going to be a REALY long day stuck at home.. I hate being stuch if the option is there to leave then im fine but when it's gone it drives me nuts! lol

ok tc all

11:53AM - poor lil man

Kaleb is realy sick :(. Took him into urgent care they said that he has a good cold and a touch of the flue. :( SO we came home put kali to bed and i went to sleep with josh playing on his computer next thing i know josh is freaking out that kaleb can't breath i look up and he has his head arched back and his lips going blue and he is like gagging so i grab the sucker thing and start sucking out the mucus from his throt and mouth and he starts screaming so i know he can breath. I try calling the dr again but they are closed so we were scared to go to sleep so josh sat up with him all night it happened again like 4 times :( VERRY long night call dr today and they say to give him tylenol and call back later today. So just cleaned out his noes again and it's yellow. So it's turning into an infection poor kid :(. I feel awful and i havn't taken him anywhere so don't know how he got sick! Oh well such is the life of amommy. SO josh went into work no sleep but for the 3 hours this morning when i took kaleb and we went int he living room and let him take a nap at 6am. Im here two kids and too tired to clean lol taking my moment of time while he sleeps to blog real quick and ask ya to keep him in your prayers that it wont turn into rsv :(. Not even amonth old and so sick i hate lil kids sick so sad...


Sunday was a good day josh and i got our temple recomends :) and set everything up for kaleb's blessing on the 4th of feb. It was a good day josh's mom came and watched kaleb so i could go into relief society and to my bishops apt. IT was good to sit and talk with the women they are such a great group! Our whole ward is our age!!! Our bishop is josh's age!!!! LOL it's kinda weird going in there. But now we just need to get a babysitter so we can go do a session. That's hard i don't trust many ppl with my newborn. Oh well... when my mother in law gets home from her vacation :).

I go into surgery on the 30th josh has taken the time off work completely (i hope) so yeah hopefully everything looks good so i can just have my tubes tied and them not have to take it all. Been having some postpartum issues that were getting bad so dr put me on some meds thankfully cause with kaleb sick i would have realy lost it today had i not had them lol i feel like i am just sane enough to deal with things :). Our life is going realy well for once! We have so many good things going on im glad we moved back to utah it was a great move for us both financially spiritualy and physically we are more active. We are making some realy good friends and josh loves his job. We don't go out partying anymore or clubbin i guess we stay home with the kids if we go out actualy our friends come here and we play board games and josh gets out the wii or xbox360. SO it's nice that no one we are around party's eather. They keep us good. Im so greatful for kali she has such a special spirit. She is so hyper but she keeps me going. Every day she wakes up "church" lol and sunday she freaks until i get her dress on her. She doesn't understand brother is too little to go she keeps asking for "brodder" to go with her LOL. I picked her up from nursery on sunday and she said MOMMy look me friends! Like wow look lol. Im actualy realy missing my mother in law today while she is in california i didn't think i would but she's been such a big part of our life for so long it seems like someone is missing!
oh well kaleb's cryin gotta go :)
hope ya'll are good!

10:00AM - kali girl

Well last night dh and i went to costco and bought kali a big girl bed. It's realy cute kinda boyish but she loves it. IT's a twin size bed that's in the shape of a boat. Literally lol the front is a toy box and underneath can either be a second bed or another storage w/2 huge drawers. We need the space horrably. So her room is now brothers and she gets new room new furniture we even got her a dresser to go with it. The brat now has nicer furniture then me! lol well my bed is nicer :P. We just barly got it all home before the store closed. We had to make two trips in dh's dad's truck the box's are HUGE. Thank goodness we have great neighbors. I couldn't lift any of it so dh had to run next door and ask for help the guy was great about it. Well by the time we got it all in the house and the truck returned and me get kids in bed it was 11pm. So today these 4 HUGE boxes r sitting in my living room. BLAH but kali keeps running up to them saying "my boat" and huggin them lol think she's excited???

Kaleb is doing ok he's got me a little worried his stumich is always tight and if u push on it he screams. I've asked a few ppl about it and they said he needed to poop well if that's so why is it still the same after he poops? Im probably going to call him dr monday if it's still the same. other then that he's eating sleeping and pooping like normal :P. He's awake more now up for a good hour to hour and a half at a time. Well like twice a day but it's cute to see him. He gets soooo bored. can you believe 3 weeks have gone so fast???? I cant' he's almost a month old and not even supose to be born yet!

Dh and i are doing better we had a realy rough week which involved alot of yelling talking and just bieng honest with each other. We both got out alot of our problems to each other i think it did us alot of good. Now lets see if we can keep the goals we started. I think alot of it is i'm having some postpartum depression and we both are sleep deprived horrably lol. BUt last night i got my first full nights sleep. Kaleb woke up once and daddy took care of him!

3:54PM - life :)

Ok trying this blog again :). We will see anyone reads it i'll keep it updated if not i'll not. SO kaleb is doing great he's now 7lbs 5 oz. He's got a touch of colic so we've been giving him some medication the dr told us to get just an over the counter stuff. Works wonders!! But last night was bad kids up went to bed late. Im exhausted two are alot harder then one! Kali is loving being a big sister. She is so cute with the baby she loves to play with him tickle him. Make sure he isn't crying. Josh is working a ton! So it's lonely with out him but he's got to do what he has to do. Im hoping to get kali's room put together for her and kaleb can have the nursery for his stuff. I'm sick of having clothes of his all over my room. Some day my house will be organized lol. Christmas was great we had alot of fun and the kids were spoiled. IT was the first year we actually had money to buy stuff! It was realy weird!

Living in utah has been good for us. Besides the snow it's so cold! I shouldn't complain it's colder elsewhere :P but i basically like it. We are having kaleb blessed on feb. 4th. Daddy's doing it i hoped my family would come in from az but they arent oh well i know better. Im excited for him to get bigger so i can go back to church! I hate sitting home as josh and kali get ready and trying to explain to kali that brother has to stay home he is little.
well cant' think of anything else to say. Tc all

Sorry it's been awhile i worked again for a week then this week i've been busy helping sisters and sister-in-law out while my sil is in camen islands isn't that rude! i wanna go :( But we did go snowmobiling last weekend it was alot of fun! I was worried about it and the things i was worried actually happened *blocked toilets, kid ran over tree, ect. But no one was hurt and everyone had fun. I shouldn't have given skwash such a hard time about it but i'm glad we did it now. Also yesterday was valentines and Skwash bought me a dozen rose's balloons and a small teddy bear and chocolates. it was clichet but sweet :P. ok that's all that's up w/me

12:38PM - kali jo 16 months

here's my baby girl

11:33AM - wow oh wow

Well i'm still bored out of my mind but oh well. I kinda quit wow well i still play but not as often at all. Had some verry weird stuff happen and someone was kinda harraassing me in the guild i am in. So it's been hard to log in and have it go on. Skwash and i have alot of things we are doing like sidework and stuff we try to do in evenings w/mini me. So that doesn't leave alot of time for wow anyhow.

I spent last night scrapbooking and got about 5 pages done and was overall happy with the turn out but as i was useing my new stuff i was like hey i need more extra's stamping and paper are fun but i wanna try out the "fun" stuff. So gotta sale some stuff so i can buy some more toys lol.

Mini me is doing awosme and recoving really well from RSV. No symptoms for like 5 days now and she is safe to go out again. So i think i'm gunna talk skwash in't taking her out to play in the snow. I'll post some pics if i can get him to take some. She looks so cute in her new snowsuit. Good thing there is 6 more weeks of it or it'd been a wast of money :P.

11:32AM - ok enough already

I"m so exhausted both physically and emotionally the last week has been a real trial on my nerves. Having a sick baby by myself has been alot of work. Skwash gets home at around 645pm then he gives her a hug and goes upstairs on his computer to either work/or whatever. So it's been just her and i then when i get her to bed at around 730ish she wakes up every 2 hours all night. So i'm exhausted and nap time is so short by the time i clean up and put in a load of laundry she is up and running and my but is still half asleep. So the cycle continues i've tried every night this week to talk to skwash and get his help but alas no can do. I'm sick of things right now. I miss my own home i miss my own stuff i miss if i'm too tired to clean i don't have to! But living in my mil's house i have to keep things up and clean and yeah. I miss my bed and i miss doing things for me. So im taking my check and signing up for ctmh. Then maybe i'll make skwash give me my own time. I'm also considering quiting wow. That's half of what skwash does when he gets home. I miss my old husband *sigh*. oh well

9:32PM - okay decision made

Well today my daughter who has had a cold for the last couple days woke up gasping for breath and coughing hard w/green yucky stuff coming out her nose. So ER here we come last night i had my husband give her a blessing cause she was so sick which was lucky. So we go to the hospital and wait for hourse lots of tests and she has an inner ear infection and to top it off she has RSV. :( But because she has asthma and i know how to take care of it they let me take her home with medication and a pediatrician visits. They gave her 2 albuterol treatments sucked out her nose and sinus's. Then she had a fever so they gave her motrin and tylenol cobined and sent her home. She wouldn't even sit up on her own when we got there but two hours after they gave her meds and an hour after we gave her prescriptions she was wired. So she is doing okay i hope and is sound asleep.

So that is the reason i say decision made. I quit my job told my sister that i couldn't come in for a couple weeks so she found someone to replace me. I feel bad for quiting like that but my daughter's health i more important. On the way home skwash looked at me and said that's it your quiting lol. Well that is what's happening in the days of my life.

8:18PM - howdy!

Pole time. I need some info or more some opinions. Ok i'm in a bind my mother-in-law wants me to quit my job. Her reasoning is number 1 mini me has asthma and being inrolled in day care is getting her sick alot! 2. she can't handle being sick and it cost me alot w/no insurance at the moment (mini me) 3. i only make 6 dollars an hour and once you put in that i have to buy my lunches and gas it's not alot of bring home 4. they are moving her into the toddler house and there is a boy in there w/a mistery illness that is unknown even to the doctor and they still bring him in.
I like the job because 1. gets me out and i like the people. 2. i like my own spending money to go buy things for the new condo when we get it. 3. mini me spends time w/kids her own age. 4. i can't stay long because i'm starting firltility treatments or surgery in 2 months.

so now that you guys have the details let me know u'r opinion. Now that skwash has a job should i keep mine or turn in the ropes and be a stay at home mom.

thanks guys u'r opinions i value most!

althy

2:41PM - anybody out there?

So i got a nudge from my friend Justthinker but i doubted he ever read this so now we shall see lol. Mini me has got a fever and home sick today. I got a job as a daycare center teacher and i take her with me normally she goes into a different class but same center. I like the job as in the people i work with i'd rather not be changing diapers all day so that part stinks and money is awful! But my sister owns the center and needs the work. Also i get paid under the table for the moment until she hires me full time. So no tax's yet. Skwash found a job not paying what he wanted but in a year it will be more money then he made in az. Also we are doing well still living w/inlaws but not bad. We are trying to sale house and buy a condo at the same time kinda hard but hopefully soon :). ttyl
