Gymnastics Day

Yesterday was St Patrick's Day and for the first part of the day Dylann keep on saying I want to do something for Gymnastics Day it took me a while to figure out what she was talking about (I am a little slow due to my major lack of sleep the last few days) Then I realized she was referring to st patty's day!!
The three older girls have been sick with colds and ear infections and didn't go to school so we watched movies and ate green snacks it was just fabulous!

 Don't you just want to squeeze her chubs

All three of them HAD to be touching Hadley or else there were major meltdowns

Hadley Paige

Our Little Hadley was born on February 15th weighing 9 pounds 2 ounces and 19 1/2 inches. I had a c-section and oh my goodness is was SO much more painful than I remember. It was horrible I won't go in to much detail but I am so glad she is my last baby! This recovery has been the hardest by far but after 3 weeks I am finally starting to feel like I am getting back to normal. I have been walking the girls to and from school everyday since the weather has been nice and I can't wait to start exercising again.

Hadley has been such a good baby and her big sisters just LOVE her some times a little to much.
She has tyrosinemia type2 and has had a hard time getting use to the wonderful tasting formula. She only has to have four ounces of it a day and I breastfeed the rest of the time but holy cow getting her to take a bottle has been a challenge. Her tyrosine levels are pretty high so we have already had to get her blood done four times which I hate doing. Hopefully her levels will start to go down now that she is getting some formula.
Life has been a little crazy adjusting to four kiddos. I think getting up in the night has been the hardest thing for me I miss my uninterrupted nights sleep hopefully she will start sleeping more at night soon!

 So I decided to weigh myself today and I am so happy I did!! I have lost 30 pounds!! What makes this even more exciting is that I didn't even gain 30 pounds this pregnancy wahoo!! Don't get me wrong I still have a bunch more to lose but at least I am starting to make progress and my little Hadley is only a week and a half old! 

Today is the Day!!!

Today is the day I have been waiting on for months now and of course it is 6 am and I have been up for an hour and can't sleep. I am dying of thirst I haven't been able to eat or drink anything since midnight I think that is the worst part!! I am going in a couple hours to the hospital I am so ready to meet this little girl!!

YAY for a spring and summer of not being pregnant!

Counting Counting Counting

I am SO sick of counting food seriously I already had to count three kids protein every flippin day and now that I have been counting my carbs for the last couple months I am done seriously it is RIDICULOUS I give up I am throwing in the towel. And don't let Shane fool you he doesn't count crap really like NEVER if the girls are hungry he asks me what to feed them if I am gone he will call or text me and ask me what they can have.If they go to grandmas or anywhere else I have to send food and have it counted or else they will not eat. I am looking forward to a few days of no counting yes while I am in the hospital which is pretty pathetic I really need a vacation.  Sorry just had to throw this out there I feel better already!

11 days not that I am counting or anything  

How much do you think she will weigh? I am gonna say 9lbs 3 oz.

Ready

I am officially ready for baby number 4 to arrive!! Since I thought little Dylann was our last baby I got rid of a lot of our baby stuff so i have been slowly getting everything we need for her and I think I finished getting the most important stuff today well except for diapers I have to get those next time I go to sams club. Shane has been working hard on bunk-beds for the girls. He got 2 sets of them from his grandpas house after he died and he took them down to my Dads shop and has sprayed them black and made them look amazing (with help from Josh and Justin of course!) I am so excited to put them up in the next few days! I am a little worried about all three of the girls sharing a room with bunk beds since they are insane but I think it will work out well for a while until we can move to a bigger place. 

My c-section is scheduled for the 15th of February which is 4 weeks from today wahoo! I am a little nervous about having a c section since I only had one with Presley and that was 7 years ago but hopefully all will go well and my recovery will be a breeze like it was with her. I have to stay in the hospital for four days I don't know if Shane is ready for me to be gone that long but I am sure he will do great. I am so excited to not be pregnant anymore (or ever again!) and to have a new little baby in our house the girls and Shane are VERY excited too!! YAY for baby #4!!

18 Years

18 years ago today my Mom passed away, one day after her 39th birthday. I can't believe it has been that long.  She was an amazing woman and incredible mother!!!

 

25

I keep on getting lectures from my kids about what I am eating, mostly from Samantha. They think that since the baby in my tummy has tyro. that I can't eat meat, cheese etc so every time I eat Samantha looks at me with disgust. I tried to explain to them that there is only a 25% chance of #4 having it but they don't quite get it. The only thing they seem to care about is if  #4 doesn't have tyro. she will be able to have sugar free Popsicles and that's just not fair at all! No they don't care about eating meat or cheese or chocolate all they care about is sugar free Popsicles!!!

Really??

Do we really need to be pregnant for FORTY freaking weeks???

Come on I am dying. She has dropped and is VERY low and it hurts to walk well it hurts to do just about anything. I pee nine million times a day, I can't sleep at night (I think Shane wants to kill me he actually slept on our recliner the other night) I have visited many many public bathrooms which I HATE doing I took the girls to Ross the other day and had to go to the bathroom 3 times and I think we were there for about 45 minutes its horrible. and I still have about 5 weeks left. Please make her come early none of my kids have I think I deserve one early child don't you??
