3d imaging of our baby girl!

On Tuesday i had yet another Dr.'s appointment and yet another ultrasound.... the 14th ultrasound so far, although it is amazing it just makes you even more anxious for the baby to finally get here already! After spending the weekend in the hospital with contractions every 2 minutes apart, we now have to have ultrasounds every week to check on my cervix and to make sure Zoe's cysts are not growing larger. Usually she is a little stinker and wont let us take a clear picture of her face.. But on this particular day we got some awesome ones... She has the most chubby cheeks of them all so far! Anyway other than the great food at the hospital (yea right)..(no baby)... and plenty of bed rest, I also walked away with staph infection from them.. So now with plenty of antibiotics in my system for some reason I dont think the pain and suffering I have had is gonna end. (we all know what antibiotics do to women..:) But I can say for sure that in the end Its all worth it! And I can totally use all the pain and suffering I have gone through to give Zoe a guilt trip when she's older:)

So this is a little delayed. But in the spirit of all the flippin snow and freezing weather we are having i thought it would blend right in.. During Christmas break we decided to take the kids out in all the fresh snow we had just been blessed with.. lol They had soo much fun trying to make a snowman.. Ok Ryan was the only one making the snowman, the rest of the kids were trying to eather tackle ryan or throw snowballs at him! But he got them back when they got on the sledding hill.. Skyler fell face first and had already lost his gloves, so he was all done and really wanted to go home. We tried to warm his hands with the heater in the car but it wasnt good enough.. All in all the whole event lasted about an hour but all of us were exhausted and ready for some hot chocolate and a nap!

This year a couple days before Christmas Uncle Brandon came to visit... He brought tonz of presents for the kids and of course the Beloved Rusty (his dog) Every time he comes the kids hate to see them leave, they love that dog! We had 3 days of presents including Christmas eve and then the kids left that night to go to their dads..

Baby girl!

So Im not sure about how many of you know but Ryan and I are So excited to announce this little one into our life... Well not quite yet but SHE will be here on or around May 23rd. Just one day after Sky's birthday. All the kids are so happy and fighting over names already! Everywhere we go Skyler is lifting up my shirt and his to show everyone that there is a baby under there. That's right he really does think he has a baby in his belly..lol So far the pregnancy has been nothing but sickness and infections but Im starting to feel better!

Pumpkin Painting

So this year we decided instead of all the mess of pumpkin guts we would try to paint our pumpkins. The kids had sooo much fun with this. I pulled out some of my old craft paint and brushes and they went to town! Skyler was soo covered with paint, but the girls were surprisingly clean!
