Part 1.<br />
A blog post that won't be all about the kiddies? Whoa.<br />
<br />
I've had lots of things to write about this whole year- I was thinking about waiting until December to write about how the whole year has gone for me, but let's just do it now. In October.<br />
<br />
I guess towards the beginning of the year I was still in newborn baby mode. Just starting to figure out the chaos of three babes. But honestly things were going really well. The house was (and is) in a constant whirlwind of a mess. My hallway was (and still is) often full of laundry needing to be washed and waiting to be folded. But things were good.<br />
<br />
Here's where it gets personal. And it's going to start out <strike>kinda</strike> really TMI. I think in March, I started bleeding. And I actually already had a pretty normal period after Ingrid had been born- maybe two. But then I started bleeding again and just didn't stop. For like a month. And it was insanely heavy at first (sorry, so gross, I know). But I hadn't had a real period since before Morgan's pregnancy so I figured it just my body trying to get back in the groove of things. I didn't go get it checked on for like.. a long time. Because sometimes it would lighten up and I thought it was going to stop, but then it would get really heavy again. I think I didn't go in for two months or so since I started bleeding. It's bad, I know. I finally called the nurse. She suggested I take a pregnancy test. I never would have thought of that. I was like, there's no way... NO way. But I took the test anyways.<br />
<br />
It was positive.<br />
<br />
I was stunned. Happy. But, what? Baby? It was almost impossible. But there it was. I loved my babies and I would love another, no matter how surprising. But I knew the horrible bleeding I had had and was still having so I didn't get my hopes up too high. That was hard. Not knowing to be really happy or really sad. Josh was a solid rock of support and love. Validating every emotion. He just knows how to love me and I can't articulate how lucky I am to have him.<br />
<br />
It was the craziest emotional roller coaster. The first blood test I got came with a really high hCG. I remember the exact words the nurse who called me with the results said. "Girlfriend, you're pregnant!" (She's really awesome and nice, so she can pull off calling me girlfriend.) She was so happy and so positive that I was for reals pregnant, and so congratulatory. She knew I had been bleeding, though. I told her again, but she still was pretty positive. I went and got an ultrasound. And not the kind with the wand thingy on the tummy. Ugh. But I was excited to see if there was something there. The girl did her best to find something. Anything. She didn't.<br />
After that, the nurse that I was in contact with still thought maybe it was just too early.<br />
I got more blood tests and my hCG levels <i>very</i> slowly went down.<br />
It was just really sad. After three healthy pregnancies I never would have thought I'd have a miscarriage. But I know how prevalent they are too. Along with all of us who have gone through it ourselves, I'm sure all of us have friend who has gone through it too and we aren't even aware.<br />
<br />
What was really difficult was how long it took for my levels to go down all the way. I had to have my blood drawn about every two weeks for about 6 months. It just took a really long time.<br />
Finally about a month and a half ago, the hormone was pretty much gone.<br />
I do feel a loss there that is very real. I feel comforted by my Heavenly Father, the Gospel, and my husband, though. Those blessing in my life shine very brightly.<br />
<br />
I know that was heavy and personal. I just really wanted to put it into some words. It's nice to put into words what has been in my mind for a long time.<br />
<br />
I'm going to have to continue my goings ons' of the year in a second post, hopefully coming in the next week. And it's going to have happy things... so that will be nice.<br />
<br />

It was so fun going somewhere new together. The big reason for the trip was to see my new nephew. And let me tell you. My brother and Rebecca did so good. I've truly never felt so completely in love and enamored by a baby that wasn't my own. Every picture just makes my heart melt. I now understand my friends that have nieces and nephews showing me pictures of them all the time. (I love you guys!) Seriously, if my dear bro sends a picture of the little guys to me, I show everyone in the room. I just can't control it! So needless to say, I couldn't wait to get my hands on that babe.<br />
Holding a newborn is one of the best feelings in the world. I may have gotten emotional.<br />
I had the privilege of taking some pictures for them.<br />
See for yourself the perfection that is this child.<br />

Couldn't you just die? I wish I got to spend even more time with him. But I sincerely feel so lucky that I got to see/hold/kiss the guy.<br />
Seeing my brother and getting to know Rebecca more was also sooo good for my soul. They are wonderful people. My brother is the easiest guy to talk to and can make you feel like a million bucks in a heartbeat. I love how easily he "gets" people. He's THE best.<br />
<br />
This trip was also this crazy all inclusive deal... it was our big trip for the year. Usually we try to make it up to Washington a time or two but this took the place of that. Soooo I guess both sides of our family loves us or something because they met up with us there too. Granted my people came for Eric and Rebecca and to see the new baby more than anything but... I like to think it was like 5% because of us :).<br />
<br />
Josh's mom and two out of four siblings came, and my whole fambam came. So it really was quite an event.<br />
<br />
No to mention the insanity of a 10 hour car ride with three kids three and under. Luckily, they're great kids and it wasn't too nightmarish. We also had Josh's brother Jeff help us out on the way down. He was an awesome help.<br />
<br />
Morgan is a really chill traveler probably 90% of the time. He's so great.<br />

Pearl got really weird on our first day of travels due to an accidental overdosage of dramamine. She gets carsick so we wanted to eliminate the otherwise inevitable vomit situation. I gave her one tablet, which was kind of a hefty dose, but in true Pearly style, she snuck another one and gobbled it right up. She was really loopy all the way to Mequite. </div>

We decided to break the trip up on the way there. We stayed in a moderately sketchy hotel in Mesquite, NV. We traveled the whole way back going home. </div>
<br />
Our first full day there we went to the aquarium with Josh's peeps. Who are my peeps too of course! I love these people.<br />
The kids had such a great time. Pearl had been talking about seeing "a fish, and a shark, and a whale" for like a week before our trip. She was so excited. We may have not seen an actual whale but I think she was satisfied because she stopped saying it after the aquarium. The touch tanks were definitely the favorite. Morgan still talks about touching the jellyfish, which I couldn't get a picture of, because it was just too dark in there.<br />

The first time we went to the beach we only got to stay for like 10 minutes but it was well worth the drive! ...Well, at least for me since I wasn't driving. We had some direction issues (I blame my phone) so it turned into a race to beat the sun before it went down for the evening. But, then we got to Newport Beach right at sunset and it was perfect. </div>

Right after Huntington Beach we hurried back to our hotel and threw on some clothes to go to Eric's to hang out, take some family pictures, and eat a delicious meal prepared by my talented mama. I got worried because the sun was going down as we got there, and there just wasn't enough light for pictures. I didn't want to disappoint, as the designated photographer. Luckily my sister is awesome and had the idea to take it under the fluorescent lights in the covered parking area. I love the lighting. </div>

Our last full day there we went to the LA Zoo. I know, we can do that in Salt Lake, but there was a really good deal when it was bundled with the aquarium ticket. Plus, I think everything is more exciting in California. Aaaand we had family with us so it was just good times. </div>

It was just such a fun trip. The kids even napped in the hotel pretty well half of the time. Sometimes they didn't but I'm just happy there were a few naps within the whole week. I loved that I got time to myself, time without the kids hanging out with my brother and family, time with the hubby, time with the kids, and time with everyone. I'm so happy with how everything went! It was a great, memorable trip. </div>

<br />heathiebothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04082097167019801295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958924550320788345.post-76758643544883267252014-08-25T00:10:00.001-07:002014-08-25T00:26:17.181-07:00I'm back. Hi.<br />
This has definitely been the longest blogging break I've taken since starting it up almost four years ago. (That last little post didn't count.) I think it's hardest to write when there's too much to write about. And then the longer you go the more it piles up, and you don't want to forget the things you want to write about and start over, so you just let it pile up in your mind until it's too dang overwhelming. Is that how it is for anybody else?<br />
<br />
Well I'm sure I've forgotten most of the things I'v wanted to write about. I'm a very (very) forgetful person so I'm really fooling myself when I think I'll remember things.<br />
<br />
Also, pondering my blogging break and the inability to take 10 minutes to write a little tiny somethin', I think there's even more to it than the overwhelmingness. I do admit I have a love/hate relationship with the idea of blogging in general. I mean, why does one blog? There are some really great reasons. To record the happenings of your life for friends, family, and posterity. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Blogs vary in content and purpose but I'm focusing more on journal-type blogs as opposed to a niche expert or any other type.) </span>A good reason to blog is for enjoyment. If you enjoy writing, it's a great outlet. Also the aesthetic design is a wonderful creative outlet if you're into that. They can be a good way to make friends too, if having internet friends is your thang. So blogs are good, methinks. I'm intrigued by everything I just mentioned.<br />
<br />
But a part of me is averted to the idea. Is it self absorbed to go on about your life and everything you have? Gratitude is AWESOME and key to happiness but some blogs out there seem a little wrapped up in themselves. And I'm scared of sounding like that. Because it annoys me. I love the blogs that are more raw and the writers have a real ability to keep it real. I want to strive for that. I think that my location of Utah Vally makes me gag a little bit. I'm a Utah momma blogger. Ack. I'm really not trying to "dis" (do people still say that?) Utah and the bloggers thereof- there are some truly amazing ones! Like, seriously inspiring- but there are just things that bug me about the scene up in here. The main thing being that there IS a scene. It usually looks like a young mama with perfect hair and an outfit straight off of pinterest, with a baby in moccs and tribal print leggings. Or something more fashion forward that I don't even know about. But I feel conflicted because I do like those things... baby moccs are cute and tribal prints are way fun. It's more the attitude that being hip should be one of your very top priorities in life. That's what it is. That's the vibe I get. I just feel like there's a lot of pressure and I pine for a more chill environment.<br />
<br />
I just want to keep it chill, you guys.<br />
<br />
So anyways, this is totally a momma blog, since my kids are my priority and therefore the majority of my content. And my location is Utah.<br />
<br />
I just want to be original, authentic, and a little different. But the thing is, I will absolutely post about how excited I am that my baby is breaking a tooth and saying "mama"... so yeah. <br />
<br />
I think the only answer here is to write as authentically as possible and just embrace it. Motherhood is beautiful and ugly and special and monotonous and it's as unique as every individual. It's unique, but also a sisterhood and community. Oh how I love it.<br />
<br />
Hopefully it won't be another eight months until you hear from me.<br />
<br />
Here are three little pieces of my soul:<br />

Mostly chaos, really busy doing who knows what, interlaced with the most beautiful moments. My heart is split three ways and I've never felt so whole. And somehow, even though pieces of my heart are in three precious little bodies, my beyond wonderful man still has the whole thing. Don't ask me how that works, it just does.<br />
I don't even know what else to say about it. I do all the regular mom stuff times three. I love, I teach, I listen, I play, I feed mouths, I wipe bums, I curse in my head as I step on a toy that causes excruciating pain. I feel stressed when everyone is grumpy and needy and dinner is burning on the stove. I feel peace when I focus what's important, get in touch with the love I have and connect with my kids.<br />
I really try to be aware that this phase won't last long. That babies turn into toddlers, then kids, then teenagers, then adults so quickly. I try to truly love each phase they go through. And so far, it's been easy to love the baby and toddler stage, and Morgan entering little boyhood. I hope every mom feels this way, and I'm sure most do- but I literally feel like the luckiest mom in the world. My kids are God-given gifts.<br />
It's time for a little update on each one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Morgan</span> is a charismatic, talkative, ball of fun. He likes to be goofy and make jokes. He's always loved to make people laugh and be the center of attention. But he's also really interested in the deeper things in life. He's intrigued with the concepts of gravity and electricity. I'm not even kidding! When he was watching "Cars" the other day, he saw a car falling off a high platform and said, "it falls because of gravity!" and the other day he turned off the light and said, "when the light turns off, the energy stops." Josh and I were like, uh, what?! He's at the million questions stage and wants to know about anything and everything. Even though it can be tiring to address his countless inquiries, I hope his thirst for knowledge never stops. Not ever.<br />
<br />
His understanding of relationships has also really developed. He's been doing better treating Pearl really nice and playing together with her because I feel like he understands well the WHY of being nice. When he makes a mistake he processes really well afterwards with Josh and I. He loves people.<br />
<br />
These past couple weeks we have been entrenched in the throes of potty training. I still put him in a "sleep diaper" at naps and bedtime, but he's in underwear all the time he's awake. He's 100% potty trained with peeing in the potty when he's awake but always waits to poop in his "sleep diaper". But I feel confident taking him out and about in his big boy undies and he's done so great going in public restrooms. I'm surprised at just how proud I am with him doing so well! So proud. I know he's not young by any means, but I'm still so proud of the boy. They say girls are generally ready sooner than boys so I'm hoping I can get Pearl potty trained sooner than I did Morgs. Going from three kids in diapers to one would be amaaaaziiiing. I like to daydream about it. <br />
<br />

<br />
Then there's <span style="font-size: x-large;">Pearl</span>. Sweet, smart, funny, darling, Pearl. I just want to eat her up <strike>sometimes</strike> all the time. She's obsessed with books. And by that I don't mean she likes to look at books sometimes. I mean she is constantly looking at them, constantly bringing them up to me and saying, "Read! Read! Please read!". So often a fair portion of my day is spent reading to her. If I'm ever sitting on the ground doing something like playing with Morgan or Ingrid, or folding laundry she automatically finds my lap and brings a book. Sometimes it totally gets in the way but I secretly love it.<br />
<br />
Her language has taken off like whoa. She speaks in legit sentences now. "Mama I saw a kitty cat!" "I cold, mama!" "I want that!" (getting better at 'can I please have that') "I get my paci!" "I play with Morgan!"... ok I'll stop listing them because it's about to the annoying point but I want to go on and oooonnn. Because here it is nap time as I'm writing this and now I'm starting to miss her. I'm pathetic. Just so in love with her.<br />
<br />
She's always liked putting things on and still does that all the time. If something can go on her neck, over her head, or on her arms, it does. If she's not sitting in my lap as I'm trying to fold laundry she's grabbing everything and trying to wear it.<br />
<br />
She's getting more so she likes to show off for people. When my mom was visiting last week, (which was the best!) Pearl kept trying to do the splits for her. Morgan and Pearl have this weird phrase they like to say a lot. They yell out "style rockins!" (at least that's what it sounds like?) and then they're spazzy and jump around, or do the splits like Pearl does. Morgan is usually good at telling me where he's heard something, but when I ask him where he got "style rockins", he says, "it's just from Morgan." Ok then. I've got to get Pearl doing her splits on video. But you might just die from cuteness when you see it so I don't know if it's safe to release to the public.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And my newest little doll face lady?? My<span style="font-size: x-large;"> Ingrid Jean</span>? She is doing so great. If I'm ever down I can just think of her face and have instant joy. I know how annoying it is to moms when other moms like to brag about how long their new baby sleeps, so I'll just say it once- she's a great sleeper and usually can go eight hours straight at this point! Hallelujah. Pearl was 6 months I think before she would do six hours. All my babies have been really different.<br />
She had her two month check up a couple weeks ago and weighed 11 pounds 12 ounces (61st percentile), and was 22.25 inches tall (36th percentile).<br />
She refuses to eat much more than 2 ounces at a feeding, so she eats around 2 ounces usually every two hours still. I'm hoping she can up her feedings an ounce or two so she can go longer than two hours. She's kind of a lazy eater and still takes awhile to eat those 2 ounces!<br />
If you follow me on facebook or instagram you know she's the best smiler. She's been smiling pretty much from day one and it makes me heart do a little dance inside my chest everyday when I see it.<br />
I don't know if this is something you announce to people, but our Ingrid wasn't what one might call planned. Josh and I feel so strongly that she is a gift from Heavenly Father and was meant to be with us right here right now. I'll cry if I think anymore about it, so I better move on. I'm just 100% grateful for her. I'm ecstatic to see the girl and woman she becomes.<br />
<br />
So those are the kiddies. Josh and I are sure lucky to have 'em.<br />
<br />

I got a really killer deal on a photography package when I was pregnant. It's a first year deal- maternity, newborn, 6 month, and 1 year photos. I had been following this photographer since my friend got her birth story done by her. She is AMAZING. Loved the experience, love the pictures.<br />
<br />
Ingrid got her photos done when she was about three weeks old. I had heard newborn photo shoots can take four hours long, but I still didn't quite expect it. But it totally did. Four hours. The photographer soothed Ingrid to sleep for every shot and was so good with her. I feel like Ingrid was completely comfortable the whole time- which made me happy. We just totally worked around her. I was really impressed with the experience. Anyways, they turned out wonderfully and I'm so happy to have them. Captures this lady's beauty so well.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Here I am with a seven week old baby and I have yet to record her birth story. I guess my priorities have been with keeping three kids under three alive and well… so I'm ok with that. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Ingrid was due on November 20th. My previous two were a week or so early, so I was sure this baby would be early too and I was anxious as ever. I felt comfortable hoping for a birth before the due date too because the ultrasound showed that she was a biggy. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We begin the tale on November 9th. I had been feeling awful all day. I had thrown up a of couple times and I was pretty sure I had the stomach flu. That evening Josh's brother and sister were over. They were all eating pizza and ice cream, having a good old time and watching a movie. I was on the couch feeling sick sick sick. I started having some contractions. I started getting excited because I wanted the baby out sooo bad! I waited until I had quite a few before telling Josh. They got to be very consistent very quickly. We were so lucky that Josh's siblings were out our house so we could just take off for the hospital! We had been worried about the timing of when the baby would come and if Jeff or Jaclyn would make it in time to watch our kids, and how it would all work out. I didn't feel lucky about experiencing labor pains on top of being sick as a dog but I guess the timing was all for the best. The contractions seemed more painful than they were for my other two. I've never really had to cry out in pain from my other two, but this one was getting to that level quickly. </div>
<div class="p1">
I knew I was dehydrated so I just wanted to get to the hospital and hooked up to an IV and stuck with an epidural. (Side note: I HATE IVs- so so much- so the fact that I wanted one was saying something!)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We got to the hospital around 9pm and they hooked me up to monitor my contractions and such. The nurses didn't seem very impressed with their intensity. That was discouraging. I was expecting to be dilated to at least a 4 or 5- I was a 6 when I got to the hospital with Pearl- but I was only between a 3 and a 4! My heart sunk a little, but I was absolutely determined that I was having a baby that night. They mentioned that I might have to go home. They talked about how being so dehydrated had probably triggered the contractions. They gave me an hour to dilate another centimeter and if I wasn't than they would send me home. I said ok, but I was thinking, even if I'm not dilated, going home is not happening! No sir. It's baby time. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Luckily, I progressed and they gave us the go ahead to stay. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This labor was so much harder than my other two. I was very focused during labor with my previous ones and liked to quietly concentrate through the contractions. I was a sobbing mess in this one. I definitely calmed down after the epidural but I just can't really express how horrible my body felt. I know I threw up a few times but it's all pretty blurry now. I remember the nurse giving me the IV said I was so dehydrated my blood was like molasses. I went through saline bag after saline bag. But let me emphasize here the glory of the epidural. Sorry all you natural birth believers out there, but I believe epidurals are a God-given gift. I love the things. Yes please. MMMhmmm. Good stuff. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The labor progressed at a good pace after that. Josh and I were exhausted but so pumped to meet this girl. We both felt really close to her through the pregnancy. Finally they checked and I was at 10cm- ready to push. I could feel the pressure during the contractions and felt way ready. The nurses left to get the things to get the room set up. They said they would be right back…. 30 minutes later they finally came back. I guess a woman had walked into the hospital and pretty much had a baby right on the spot. Ha! I was really worried through the pregnancy that that would be me this time, but it sure didn't turn out like that. </div>
<div class="p1">
I only pushed for a few minutes and she was out. I don't know exactly why, but I feel like this time pushing was a little different than the others. I enjoyed it more? That sounds strange but even though I had the epidural I could still feel it really well. The pressure, and her coming out. It didn't hurt at all, I could just feel it. That was really neat. Remembering seeing her for the first time makes me teary as I write this. I love her so much. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
She was born at 3:09am. She weighed 9 pounds 1 ounce and was 21 inches long. The first thing I noticed was how round and chubby her face was. I really was instantly in love with her. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The doctor that delivered her wasn't our usual doctor since it was a Saturday. I was nervous about that but we absolutely loved him. I think I might even switch to him next time. He did a great job. I didn't tear or need an episiotomy at all!.That was a relief with our 9 pound baby!</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
During the pregnancy we had told all of our friends and family, and announced on social media, that her name was going to be Parley. When we held her for the first time, we just weren't feeling it. It was the strangest thing. She just didn't look like it to us. A little while after she was born, I held her and stared at her face while Josh was looking up names on his phone. We started talking about Scandinavian names- my heritage. Josh said Ingrid and I looked at that special, chubby face and felt so right about it. It was decided. We knew we still wanted the middle name Jean. It's after Josh's Grandma, a really great woman. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Recovery went really well. I feel like it's gotten easier with each baby. Josh went right back to work, but my dad came to help out for a week and that was amazing. We are so grateful to Jeff and Jaclyn too, for watching the kiddies during the hospital stay. Also all the wonderful friends who brought dinner, and love- thank you. For reals though thanks for making us feel loved and supported. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
I am one. lucky. girl. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
I tried to photographically document the experience well. Enjoy. </div>

I have started so. many. posts. in the past few months. I just couldn't get into them!<br />
Pregnancy kicked my booty so hard this time around. Good think it's over and I have the sweetest baby girl now! Post about her to come. I just somehow, someway want to do a quick overview of the past few months here.<br />
<br />
Fall has been great. We live out in the country, and October outside was absolutely breathtaking. I mean it- I would really do a little gasp when I walked out into our golden wonderland! I'm silly like that. Obsessed with fall colors. Especially gold. Anyways, having the attached relationship with my camera (and my kids, duh!) that I do, I took loads and loads of pictures.<br />

And then there was Halloween! Josh and Morgan had a great time carving a pumpkin together. To be honest, I didn't have super high expectations for Halloween this year.. I was so, so very pregnant and motivation was very minimal. But, the day before Halloween , I managed to put together the kids' costumes. Morgan was a spider and Pearl was Little Miss Muffet. We went to our church's trunk-or-treat and it was really legit. I genuinely had a great time- and more importantly the kids did too! It was so much more fun than I thought it would be!<br />

Morgan and Pearl are just growing up more everyday. Kids do that I guess... it's exciting and amazing and depressing all at the same time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Morgan is out of control hilarious and has the hugest personality. He loves to be around people, making jokes, laughing, and wrestling. He seems super interested in humor and if anyone laughs he always asks what's so funny. He continues to love his cars. He's totally at the question age where he wants to know everything about everything he sees. Fun and exhausting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pearl is the sweetest, loveliest girl. She is definitely more shy than her brother. Mama is her preferred company, but her and Josh have bonded like crazy lately. She is at SUCH a fun age, where she is learning so much every minute. Her language has taken off like crazy. She can say more things than I can count and can learn any word you teach her. She is totally obsessed with books and is constantly bringing them up to me, and saying "read!".</div>

<br />
But while the kids are napping I'm feeling the urge to write... there are a million other things I could/should do right now (not kidding! This house needs help...) but relaxing is what's going to happen right now.<br />
<br />
Remember how there's a baby inside me? Well she rarely lets me forget it. She's pretty wild in there, pushing on my ribs, and squirming and kicking. It's the most intense when I lay down at night. Josh has gotten used to my inadvertent yelps of pain.<br />
<br />
I'll be thirty weeks tomorrow! Eek!! I feel like the real countdown begins when I hit 30 weeks. Down to the nitty gritty. These last 10 (or 7 or 8 or 9!) weeks go by so fast... yet slow at the same time because they are so uncomfortable. My round ligament pain hasn't been to bad lately which is nice. Just ready to pass out on the couch at any given moment, but that's just how it is.<br />
<br />
I feel like some people rock being pregnant. They exercise, have energy, have the "nesting" thing going on all 9 months. I am not one of those people. I know it's so different for everyone. Being pregnant is totally not my jam though. The actual birth? I kind of feel like that's thing. I know the birth experience is different for everyone too, and even varies a lot from child to child. But when I feel those contractions and know it's happening I get focused and excited. Morgan's labor from first contractions to meeting him was about 10 hours, Pearl's was about 5. The pushing just took minutes for both of them. I'm kind of thinking Parley might want to come really quick, so I am a little nervous about getting to the hospital, because now we live about 25 minutes away from our hospital of choice. I was dilated to a 6 already when we got the hospital for Pearl. Though I'm really intrigued by the natural birth- no pain meds idea... my desire to try it out is currently at a zero. Give me that delicious epidural, mmmk?<br />

Josh is back in school, taking two classes. I sure miss him being gone the entire day those two days but it's absolutely worth it. I'm proud of the man for getting after that degree. He's absolutely brilliant and now that he's studying something that he loves and feels a genuine passion for, school has become easier for him. I'm grateful for his job- what he does, and how it supports us. And I love the 9-5 thing.<br />
<br />
I could go on about Morgan and Pearl but one of the two hooligans is awake. Adios.<br />

Chalk time outside turned into what might as well been a water theme park for them. Love those simple things that bring so much joy to the kiddies.<br />

We had fun adventures with family this week. I had a family reunion at Bear Lake. We headed up a day early and spent the afternoon with some of Josh's family in Logan. We hung out with his way awesome cousin and her family. They have two kiddies and one on the way (due only a month apart from Parley) so our families were basically meant to hang out. Especially since they had a sweet bouncy house to play in...<br />
We went to a barbecue and Josh's Aunt and Uncle's. I made a bomb apple pie to take to the barbecuer the night before we left but... we forgot to bring it! But at least we just left it at his cousins house, and got to enjoy it that night... so it worked out pretty well ;). His cousin was nice enough to let us stay the night.<br />

The first night Pearl cried and cried. Our poor Pearly was sicky sick sick with some unholy combination of bad allergies and teething, along with, I think, struggling with being away from home. I just realized a day or two into the trip that she's never slept away from home before. Apparently she's kind of a homebody.<br />
<br />
Bear Lake was aaaawesome.<br />
<br />
It was so great seeing family. I haven't seen my sibs in a year and a half- they hadn't even met Pearl yet! So that was fun. I have some great cousins and aunts and uncles, not to mention THE greatest parents. Like I said before, the biggest bummer was poor Pearl. Her eyes were constantly red and watery and her sneezes and runny nose didn't seem to stop for a minute. We were all sleep deprived and left a day earlier than we planned... but we still managed to have a lot of fun. I'll let the pictures do the talking.<br />

This post isn't going to be wordy. We just got back from my family reunion and I was thinking about how I wanted to write about it. But then I was thinking about how I haven't written about all the other fun stuff we've been up to so far this summer.<br />
Sooooo I'm going to do a little recap of the last couple months. But I'm too tired and lazy to write all about it so it's just going to be pictures. Maybe with captions, maybe not. We'll see how tired I get...<br />

Yup, too tired for captions now. Maybe I'll add some later? Also, Laura- how did we get no pictures of you with the kids (or me!) when you visited? I hope you took some with your camera. If not, I guess you'll just have to come back. Soon. </div>

I think about the ol' bloggity blog often but write in it rarely these days. How the heck am I supposed to take the time to capture in writing what life is like right now when I'm so busy living it?<br />
But life is so hectic and beautiful that I really would like to try to write about it more- you know. For posterity's sake. Or whoever else wants to know about it.<br />
Also, it bugs me how our family pic and tabs need some mad updating... like, remember how we had Pearl a year ago? Yeah, we should probably get her a tab now. I just gotta talk to my girl Erika, save up a little dinero, and doooo it. I think I want a whole new design.<br />
<br />
Pearl is sure growing up. Her grins and giggles make my day. She just walks around, smiles and says "hi" to me, and gets into stuff. She loves balls, books, and cars like her brother. She's babbling all the time and can say apple, ball, mama, and dada. She loves to bounce to daddy's beatboxing and singing. She's often victim to Morgan's rambunctiousness but takes pretty well if she's not already tired.<br />
She loves to do the "stinkbug" and stick her booty in the air and give you funny looks. She likes to lay on the ground and give silly looks like Morgan used to- and also put blankets on her head then pull it off to play peek-a-boo. She loooves necklaces and putting them on.<br />
The curls she's getting in the back of her hair are killing me. Her dark eyes make my heart explode with love every day.<br />

Morgan doesn't go one second without talking. He's at the stage of a million questions. ("What's that noise?" "What's that?" "Where does that come from?") It's super exhausting and super cute and wonderful. He learns so much every day. I won't lie and say it's never annoyed me, but at the end of the day I just think about him and how hilarious and special he is. The boy loves to sing. He loves to play cars and legos- especially with mom and dad or anyone who will. Also his independent play is getting so, so fun to watch and listen to. His cars have the best conversations with each other. The other day a car he had in one hand said to the car in his other hand, "I'm gonna push you!", and proceeded to hit the other car. Then he grabbed his really big car and it drove over and said, "What happened?". The other car told the "mama car" what happened and the mean one had to go in time out. There have been tons of great conversations like that- also cars have been changing other cars diapers and putting each other down for naps.<br />
He's still a cuddle bug with his blankie and thumb in his mouth.<br />

Our favorite little fetus, Parley, is doing just fine and dandy. A few weeks ago was my 20 week appointment and everything is looking great. She's measuring a few days bigger than the due date. The best development on the Parley note is all the movement I've been feeling the last month or so. I love love love feeling her squirms and kicks, reminding me that she's in there. I don't get a ton of time to sit and daydream about her with a one and two year old so those reminders make me really happy. I know in a couple months those reminders will get more uncomfortable and even painful, so I'm really appreciating them right now. They are strong enough to see and feel from the outside but not strong enough to hurt. Laying down on my back, propping my head up, and watching them in the evening after the kids go to bed is my absolute favorite.</div>

We told Morgan this morning that he could talk to Parley through my belly button, so he lifted my shirt and talked to her- he said, "Do you love me, Parley? Are you in there?" It was the cutest. </div>

Every momma says it, but it's<b> unbelievable</b> how time flies. But I think back on the past year and I know that there's a billion more memories to make and learning to do- and that's really beautiful stuff, so I try not to get down that she's leaving babyhood. (It's ok to cry about it every once in awhile though, right?)<br />
<br />
We had a party for her the day before, since it was a Saturday and all. We live in a place with a great yard so I was excited to have it outside. I was worried it might be deathly hot, since the highs were hovering around 100 degrees but there was plenty of shade and it really wasn't bad. And we pulled out the kiddie pool for Morgan and whoever else wanted to cool down. (Which was the one other kid his age, his beloved friend Eloise.)<br />
<br />
In all my silly momness, I had to have a theme. I thought of a "you are my sunshine" theme, and was excited because it seemed so perfect and so original but of course after a pinterest search I found that it's been done a ton. But I loved it and it turned out really nice. It was so fitting for my sweet little Pearly!<br />
<br />
I cheated a little and did a cake photo shoot a few days ahead so I wouldn't have to worry about taking a lot at the party. I'm so happy with how it turned out!<br />
She liked the cake pretty well! I remember Morgan wasn't too sure about cake for his first birthday, so I was happy to see she was more ready to dig in.<br />
<br />
Here are some pics from the cake photoshoot:<br />

I love our Pearl so much. I often call her "the sweetness", and while it's pretty mushy, it's true. She's the sweetest, funnest, greatest girl in the world. She puts up with a TON with her wild big brother- I think she'll be a tough one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's walking all the time now- it's kinda the cutest thing ever, especially since she's so tiny. She was only 17 lbs 13 oz at her one year appointment! Teeny tiny. Yet she has the yummiest thick rolly legs. And her booty- it's legit big. Like, ghetto booty. Morgan and Pearl wear the same size diapers! It's pretty funny- and darn cute. Love our little pear shaped lady.</div>

It's been awhile. I slapped a picture on a post a couple weeks ago but that's been it for far too long. <br />
<br />
And the whole making the blog private thing? I thought I'd feel weird about it, because I was like, what if I want to try to grow my blog or something? (ha...) But I actually feel really really good, and totally at peace about it. Sorry if I'm making the decision a little too dramatic. Avoiding drama is actually the point of making it private! I don't want to be annoyingly vague about the reasons and I don't want to be all TMI about it, so I'll just tell ya it's for the best!<br />
<br />
I really feel like life has been a blur since Mother's Day. We've been so crazy busy. I don't know why but I feel like it's been the busiest time of my life! We've had visitors one after the other (all of whom are the loveliest of people!), three birthdays within a week and a half, and all those stinkin' holidays. I say stinkin' but it's really been a blast. A ton of family and friend time. But I think it's taken it's toll on us because we're all sitting at home sick with colds now. I say it was worth it!<br />
<br />
In all my spare minutes I've been trying to pick up my knitting needles. I've fallen in love with knitting again. I just finished my first sweater and I have to say I'm so proud! I can't wait to make more. In fact, I think I'm going to try to get some knitting time in right now while the kiddies sleep!<br />
<br />
After I eat that is. Because I seem to ALWAYS be hungry these days. I must be growing another human inside me or something!heathiebothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04082097167019801295noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958924550320788345.post-32396454149131797492013-06-15T20:49:00.003-07:002013-06-15T20:49:37.186-07:00the big reveal....I've been the worst blogger.<br />

My heart is so full. Bursting full. The kind of full that makes life, at this moment, seem so, so meaningful and almost sacred. Life is those things at all times but sometimes your heart just tries to take it all in.<br />
<br />
I just want to tell my oldest child how much I love him. So here goes.<br />
<br />
Dear Morgan,<br />
I got to rock you to sleep just a little bit ago. That doesn't seem like a big deal. But at almost 2 and a half, it is. I am overcome with love for you. You are such a special boy. I was thinking about how much your daddy and I expect of you, and how much you learn every day. I was reminded as I was holding you what a short time you've been on Earth. Two years! That's just not much. You are still so much a baby, but you are even more a little boy now. That doesn't seem to make sense but you are. To think that God entrusted me with you is both empowering and humbling. It's my calling in life to teach you, to nurture you, and love you. To help you be confident and kind. What a task. I feel like the learning opportunities are just endless at this time in your life. It's exhausting for both of us but so worth it. But I hope learning opportunities never stop and that I can be there for as many of them as possible. You are only on the brink of boyhood but I see the beginnings of truly amazing man.<br />
<br />
I've loved you since you were smaller than a speck and I'll love you forever.<br />
<br />
Love, your mama<br />
<br />
<br />
How can so much happen in two years?<br />

This is just going to be a quick little prego update. Maybe boring, but I have some great news! Read on.<br />
<br />
I had an appointment on Monday. Josh had to work the Saturday before so he didn't have to go in on Monday, which was the best! It was a whole family outing. Love it. We got to hear the little heartbeat on the doppler thingy, which was great since I was only 10 weeks! Strong little one.<br />
Everything went just fine and dandy.<br />
The news I was anxious to hear about was my antigen levels. Last pregnancy I had an antigen in my blood that was a potential threat to the baby if the levels got high- which they never did, thank goodness. I had to get my blood drawn every month which was kind of traumatizing for me. I'm THE biggest wuss about needles.<br />
I had read that it often gets a little worse with each pregnancy so I was nervous about it. I had my blood drawn to test for it at my last appointment. We asked the doctor what the results were aaaaanddddd....<br />
it's <b>all gone</b>!! No antigens at all detected. Happy day!<br />
<br />
So that was the greatest news.<br />
<br />
This little one is going to be special, you guys. Josh and I feel very strongly about that.<br />
<br />
As for how I'm feeling... I'm doing aight. Booty tired, but what momma isn't? I'm not too nauseas which is great. Usually only when I get hungry. The main thing I have going on is horrible indigestion My tummy is angry at me so much of the time! Even when I'm eating good stuff. I don't get it. I guess I'll keep popping the tums. I don't even know if they help.<br />
<br />
So that's that!<br />
<br />
P.S. These past few days have been ca-razy. I'm potting training Morgan and it's definitely an adventure. Not ready to write about the craziness but hopefully I will be soon!heathiebothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04082097167019801295noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958924550320788345.post-49259745857700136342013-05-01T19:28:00.003-07:002013-05-01T19:28:43.682-07:00just pictures.I promise I won't take a million pics and post them EVERY time we go to the park this summer. <div>

Yeah, it was after Easter but I'm so glad we still did it. Morgan had the best time! In fact, he still talks about it. Josh was adorable helping him.<br />

<br />
I kinda cheated and threw in her nine month picture with the Easter photo shoot we did, since it happened to be when she was nine months to the day.<br />
<br />
The girl is a doll. I don't know how I refrain from eating her right up, I really don't.<br />
She has happy sweet eyes and a complete personality to match.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Just FYI- I'm the worst at getting her to smile and taking a picture at the same time! And lots of her smiles involve a complete spazzing out with her whole body so it always turns out blurry...</span><br />
<br />
I'm head over heels for her. She's just a baby but I feel like we're best friends. I know her the best out of anyone. And I know I'm her favorite person ever. (Sorry daddy!)<br />
She loves laughing at Morgan and army crawling around our whole place. She's gotten pretty quick and always goes for the cords to the tv and our computers.<br />
<br />
Her nine month appointment went well- she's lookin' good. Still the little thing she's always been but her percentiles have increased some. She's about in the 20th for everything, so she's super proportional I guess... I feel like a weird mom saying that... but it's a fun fact! If you ever are in the need to know some Pearly trivia. And I enjoyed that because Morgan has always had a huge noggin'.<br />
<br />
I just love her, and that's all I'm really trying to say here. She is such a delight and a blessing.<br />
<br />
Also, umm, her next appoint is for when she'll be ONE. What the...?!<br />
<br />
EEeeeeeeek.<br />

We had a nice Easter. We dined on viciously over-salted leg of lamb, made by yours truly (though the parts that the salty rub didn't get to were most delicious and succulent). </div>

Easter baskets were so fun this year, with Morgan being two. Daddy helped him find his basket and he gasped and got so excited when he saw it. He grabbed a piece of candy and said "let's do this!" It was the cutest. </div>

<br />
The past few weeks have been a roller coaster... ups and downs like I nothing I've ever experienced.<br />
<br />
I found out I was pregnant on March 21st. At approximately 4:30am.<br />
We had grabbed a few pregnancy tests at the dollar store the day before when we were out and about... (I hate how expensive pregnancy tests are so I'm embracing the fact that we buy them at the dollar store. Don't judge me! Or do... I won't tell you how to live your life.)<br />
<br />
I had been wanting to take one just to see. Just to make sure. I didn't REALLY think I was pregnant- we just knew there was a slight chance it was possible even though we definitely weren't trying or anything. We were actually planning on waiting a couple years. So I woke up in the middle of the night and knew those tests were there, sitting in the closet. They were in the closet because I was a bum and just threw the bag in there instead of putting the goods in the bathroom. Aaanyways I had to rummage through the plastic bag, hoping I wouldn't wake up Josh- everything seems louder at night when it's quiet ya know? But it was silly to worry about that because he's the deepest sleeper everrrr. I'm always so jealous of him. I wake up to any little peep Pearl makes and he's still totally out when she's whining a few feet away.<br />
<br />
So I got the goods. Then I did my thang and the results were in. TWO lines. And they were as dark and solid as can be. I need to reiterate that we were not planning on this. So initially it was shock. Pure shock. But I know I got up in the middle of the night to do it because I was dying to know- and I was dying to know because deep down I was hoping. Excitement came very quickly. I wanted to wake up Josh but I wanted to let him sleep at the same time... and it was kinda nice just to sit down in the living room in my silent house and soak it in myself. I sat out there for awhile, just thinking about it. Then I decided to try to sleep. (Ha.) I just laid there, hoping Josh would wake up. I had left the test in the bathroom so Josh would see it when he woke up. That's the coolest way I could thing of to tell him... Fiiinally, he got up! I had done the test in the hall bathroom because our sink is struggling, so I was hoping he would go in the hall bathroom- but he was going to our bathroom! So I popped up and said, "go in the other one!" Josh said, "What? Uh, ok." He was half asleep and didn't care. He came out. He was grinning. "What's in there? What does that mean?", he asked even though he knew. Needless to say we didn't go back to sleep. We had a lot to talk about. But just let me say that we were psyched.<br />
<br />
I made my appointment pretty fast. I have an antigen in my blood that requires monthly testing so I wanted to be sure my levels were low. And I yearned to hear the heartbeat. I thought I was about 8 weeks. I didn't remember super clearly but I thought my last period was at the end of January. So I got that set up and was pumped to go. I got my saintly sister-in-law, Jaclyn, to watch my little lovelies.<br />
<br />
My appointment started out great. I mean as good as it can go with the whole "pelvic exam" scenario. Not my fave, but it was exciting because my doctor thought my uterus "felt" about 8 weeks.<br />
<br />
Then there was the ultrasound- what I was really looking forward to. Getting to hear that little heartbeat.<br />
<br />
The ultrasound tech was a guy I had never had before. I've had the same one for my last two kids- and it was a woman. So the guy kinda threw me off. I don't know why. He was nice enough. But we got the ultrasound going and I looked at the screen. I was worried right away- I knew what it should look like. I had done this before.<br />
<br />
I saw the dark circle that was my gestational sac... and that's all I saw. Where was the little white blob that was supposed to be inside the dark circle? And we didn't hear anything at all. I asked if it was there, if everything is ok. He said he wasn't finding anything. He said my gestational sac was measuring about six weeks but he couldn't find anything. He did a vaginal ultrasound- I had never had one of those before- and hope never to again. That wand is freaking huge! Ugh.<br />
And nothing. I could tell he didn't think it was looking good. He said I should come back in a week. I asked if it wasn't looking good, just to see if he would say it out loud, but he just answered that it was unsure and that I should come back in a week.<br />
<br />
After the ultrasound I saw my doctor again. I was sitting down in the exam room and he walked in, and literally upon setting foot in the room he said "Well I have to honest with you, it's not looking good. You're probably going to miscarry this one." My heart stopped and my eyes filled with tears. He went on to say it looked like a "blighted ovum" and that I shouldn't get my hopes up. He said there was a really small chance we could get lucky and we were just a few weeks earlier than we thought, but don't count on it. The size of my uterus and gestational sac were saying that there should be a baby in there, and there wasn't. I should be prepared to have a miscarriage. Midway through his speil he sat down next to me though, and patted my knee. Side note: The reason I like this particular doctor, and that I went back to him for this third child, is that he's very straightforward and business-like, but I can tell he's also really caring. He's quick, but tender when he needs to be. I don't know, I feel like it's a really good balance. I don't want a doctor who's TOO personal. I like a lot of professional, and just the right amount of tenderness. So he's the best. He actually usually pats my knee when the appointment is done. It know it probably sounds really weird but it's always reassuring to me. He's like an uncle or something. <span style="font-size: x-small;">An uncle who looks at my junk sometimes. That's probs the most messed up thing I've ever said</span>. Aaanyways....<br />
<br />
So I totally fell apart upon hearing this news. I tried to pull it together so I could walk out and make my appointment for next week but I couldn't see through my tears. I told the nurses I needed a minute. They are the nicest and took me to an empty exam room and said I could sit in there as long as I'd like. I cried hard for a few minutes and then really tried to calm down. I somehow managed to make that next appointment, then I was out the door calling Josh. He's the best husband in the world, so you know he made me feel a little more at peace. But I was in no way over the bitter sadness and disappointment. We did agree though, that either way this pregnancy was a blessing. If it didn't work out, it was a sign that we really wanted to have more kids instead of wait. So that made me feel a tiny tiny bit better... though the sadness was still overpowering. But we hoped more than anything that it would work out. Josh had more hope than I did. He's better than me like that.<br />
<br />
Waiting for my next appointment was so. hard. To not know if there was a baby in me. A baby that would continue to develop I guess I should say. I wanted to talk to someone who could empathize with me. I have great supportive friends and family. I will say that talking to Erika on the phone helped a ton. She had the same thing with her little Hazel- they couldn't find her and she had to go back a week later. And then there she was. So that gave me a little more hope. I want to put out there that that girl is the strongest. Mad respect for her. <br />
<br />
You could probably guess the rest, if we're facebook friends. I went back the next week. Josh got to come with me, which was the best thing ever. He actually took the whole day off, because his mom had come the night before to visit during her spring break. So we had Grammee Jules to watch the kiddies, and I had a husband by my side. Best scenario for what was either going to be the best or worst day. We had the other ultrasound tech- the one I've had for my last two kids. We walked back and she sort of glanced at my file and said, "ok, looking for a heart beat?", and got right to it. I saw it right away! I saw the teeny tiny white blob and I heard the little heart beat! HAPPIEST MOMENT. Happiest, happiest moment. Oh how I love that tiny little blob. Definitely one of the best moments of my life. I'll remember it forever. It was just the best feeling in the world.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The funny thing is the ultrasound tech didn't even know about last week and the trauma we'd been though until we told her a couple minutes later. She was happy she could bring such good news. I was only 6 weeks 5 days- about two weeks earlier than I thought I was! And that was that.<br />
<br />
The doctor was sorry he scared me, but that's what the signs were telling him. He was really glad we "got lucky".<br />
<br />
Thank you SO much for everyone who knew about that first appointment and who gave us prayers and faith. Brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.<br />
<br />
We are SO, SO happy about this baby. Maybe we're a little insane to have three kids in under three years. But I say bring it on.<br />
<br />
We already have so much love for this little not-even-fetus-yet inside me.<br />
<br />
I know it's crazy to even be talking about this little one since I'm not even two months along. But we are just so happy! "Blessed" is the right word for how we feel.<br />
<br />
Here's the little announcement post I did:<br />

<br />
But this boy... his personality is so over-the-top hilarious. The quotes I want to share don't completely do him justice. You have to see him doing his funny little dances (all the time!) around the house- no music necessary. You have to see the looks he gives us (especially Aunt Jaclyn for some reason) during mealtimes. You have to hear the way he talks to Pearl, trying to mimic the way I talk to Pearl. You have to see him wrestle with Josh- the way the boy full on flings himself on him, no fear involved. The way he puts anything and everything on his head because he thinks it's funny- food, bins, boxes, blankets. The head thing has been a favorite gig of his since he was a year or so.<br />
<br />
Anyways the talking thing is the greatest. Some favorite things he's said:<br />
<br />
-pointing to a little statue we have up high on a shelf of Jesus praying, "Jesus climbed up there!"<br />
<br />
-looking at the noisy pigs outside, "mommy, the pigs are burping! *grunt* Morgan's burping too!"<br />
<br />
-to Aunt Jaclyn "Jacky, are you Jack-in-the-box?"<br />
<br />
-when he had a diaper rash last week he kept saying "my poor little bum!"<br />

I asked if he was praying and he said "no, I'm trying to poop." </span><br />

I'll be right back!" And he climbs on the shelf in the kitchen to get her more. </span><br />
