Maisie is here!!!

She's here! Maisie was born January 20th. She was 7lbs. 8oz. and 18 1/2 inches long! I went in for the 3rd time that week because I kept having contractions, but the doctor was being kind of stubborn about taking her because he said the due date wasn't until February 11th. I kept telling him that is was supposed to be January 30th, but he just wouldn't listen to me. He said that the ultrasound is more acurate than by the menstral cycle. Whatever! Anyway, after a very persistant nurse which I was so grateful for and the fact that nothing was helping with the contractions he finally decided to do the c-section. They had given me morphin and some other drugs, but nothing was helping. It sucked! I'm so glad that she was finally able to come. When the doctor was pulling her out he said " I think that we may have had your due date wrong". Ya think! He then said "how did we get it so far off?" Anyway, at least he was a little apologetic. I am still so grateful for that nurse. She was awesome! I would have had her that day anyway, but she just got the ball rolling a lot faster so I didn't have to suffer for forever. Anyway, she is here and we're all doing great so far! I just wish Kody didn't have to go to work next week. It has been way too nice having him home this week and the boys have loved it too!

Ok, I know it has been a while, but I just wanted to say how grateful I am for my family and friends and everything that they do for me!

Stupid Hair

So when I do my hair I get frustrated at times and yell "oh I hate my stupid hair!" So the other day I was combing through my hair and Kaden comes in and says "mom, is that your stupid hair?" I can't believe he said that. I almost died laughing. I really need to pay more attention to what I say!

Tornado

So when we were eating sunday dinner last night we saw what appeared to be a tornado! Clouds were circling and it was over the bay. Then there was hail and the sky was just going crazy with lightning! It totally reminded me of the tornados that I went through when I was in Alabama! I thought, "I can't believe this is happening!" Of course we were all just standing there and not getting our cameras! Then the wind started heading in our direction (in a tornado like cloud) and was picking things up and swirling them in a circle. We saw a trampoline from the neighborhood below get picked up and flown clear to the other field. Then it went off to the left of us. Right after grandma called and was crying and told us she needed some help with her roof tiles. (Didn't know that the whole back yard was destroyed). A couple went over to help and called us to get our cameras. So we did and this is what we saw! Poor grandma. Your heart just sank! It can all be replaced, but it still sucks! We saw police cars going up the street so we went to go check that out and a camping trailer had been picked up and flipped on its side in the middle of the street. Some of the family talked with others who said that some had a deck ripped off and there was trees and other things all over the place. So crazy!!!

Tornado Damage

So this is the damage done to grandmas house. I still can't believe it!

Posts

Hello friends and family, so I took some time and finally got some more posts up! I hope you can take some time to look at all of them and see how our fun little life is going. Which for the most part is going well! I can't complain too much because there are many who are going through things way worse than me, but I've been trying to go off of my bipolar medicine so that Kody and I can try and have another baby! I'm so grateful for family and friends who are there to support me. I can't imagine having to go through this myself! It has been difficult because I finally felt great, but it's not as bad as I thought that is was going to be, well so far anyway. I've only come off of one medicine, I have one more to go. I just have to take one day at a time. The first month and a half or so is the worst. I hate anxiety more than anything and I'd rather die than have to go through that, but at the same time I can't wait to have another baby! I guess that you really appreciate things when you have to go through these trials, even though somedays I just want to give up, I'm so glad to know that I don't have to do this alone! I appreciate what was said in conference this last month about the things that our Savior went through, at least we have him to lean on, but even our Heavenly Father left him for a small moment so that He would know what it is like to be completely alone. I can't even imagine that! I'm so grateful for the knowledge that no matter what we have to go through, we aren't completely alone, even though it may feel like it at times, a lot of times. How grateful I am!

So for easter this year we went to the city egg hunt, which was very disapointing, so my friend and I did one for our kids in our backyard. And then of course the easter bunny came on Sunday. Sunday night we did one with Kodys siblings and then Monday we did another one with Kodys aunts, uncles and cousins at his grandparents house. I think I'm about easter egged out!! It was so much fun though! Hope you all had a very Happy Easter!!!
