Josh and Yaya

We LOVE when Josh comes to visit. Kaylee was much warmer to him this visit. Here are a couple of cute pictures of these two hanging out Saturday morning. The mini Stella still works like magic to get Kaylee to cuddle! Kaylee even gave him a willing goodbye squish and kiss as well as blowing him kisses. Come visit again soon Josh.

Playing Starfall and saying, “cheese!” for the camera.

Kaylee’s Yaya (my Mom) got to our house a few hours before Josh on Friday night. She has been cleaning, cooking and playing with Kaylee nonstop since she got here. I’ve noticed that Jon, Kaylee, and I are more relaxed having her here. As amazing as my R.S. is there is just something comforting about having your Mom around when you are feeling icky and stuck on the couch. She is still trying to decide how long she is going to be able to stay. We may get to keep her for quite a while if she can arrange things with work! The bed rest is helping as well as having doubled the med dose. We are hoping to make it 3 more weeks, but would love to make it 4 more. We will just have to see. Jon and I are hoping to get a good long break before we have to go back to L&D for shots. He thinks we will end up there at least once more. We went in 3 times for shots with Kaylee’s pregnancy, and have so far been 3 times with Regan for the Turbutaline shots. We’ve been in 5 times now to keep him in and now all nurses know us. 🙂 So Regan is officially a more difficult pregnancy than Kaylee. He started off MUCH easier, but clearly wants to out do his big sis. Great news though, today we are 33 weeks and every day I can keep him in is an awesome day at our house because every day counts for a bigger healthier baby! Happy week everyone!

For Sharice & Jack’ee

This is how much I love you both that I’d put my fatness out here for all to see. I look way bigger with Kaylee in the red shirt than with Regan in the green shirt. I weigh the same in both photos. Enjoy. 🙂

A couple of firsts and other AWESOME news!

(Every post deserves a picture… It’s hard to tell but my hand is all puffy, and bruised from the first IV attempt. My right hand did much better. The bruise keeps getting darker.)

So I’m starting to think going to L&D is just going to be our standard FHE activity for a while as I have weekly appts on Mondays. 🙂 Also I may have laughed too hard watching Jon Karaoke on Sunday night with friends… So wish I had the video camera! Any how the Doc. Sent us (me, Jon came too) to go get steroid shots as things are progressing despite our best efforts. He has also implemented actual bed rest, and put me on the oral form of the shots you get at the hospital. The Terutaline worked great to keep Kaylee in and we are hoping between the new drugs and bed rest to make it several more weeks. So besides being a bit emotional at having to be on bed rest I’m doing o.k. And am feeling so lucky and blessed to have such an awesome husband and R.S. to help me out with Kaylee and house stuff. Jon did all our laundry this weekend and I changed not one diaper! He really is just the best! O.K. now for fun stuff…

This weekend we had a couple of fun firsts for our family… Because of another fun filled trip to Labor and Delivery (had to go get shots to stop the way too frequent and way painful contractions) Kaylee got to have her first sleepover on Friday night! She did not care that she was getting dropped of at Jake and Cole’s. And was too busy playing the next morning to get too excited to see Jon. She had FUN! Jon and I did not have fun Friday night, but all is well and the kid is staying in for now. 🙂 Sunday Kaylee got to go to Nursery for the first time. Jon took her while I was teaching and said she did great. We knew she would have a blast, I was sad to miss dropping her off, but I did get to peek in on her a couple of times. She was totally blissed out. And the ladies in Nursery said she was great. Lets hope that this continues.

(Jon) I took her in there and she saw all of the other kids and got very excited. I was very much expecting there to be tears and screaming but there was not. So I thought take Lamby away and then there would be tears so I said can I have Lamby? She was like sure here and gave me Lamby and got down and started playing with the toys. I was very disappointed because I was certain she’d be devastated to leave us but she was not. On a more pleasant note she looked like such a little person with all the little humans in their tiny chairs and table and toys.

As for awesome news… My new sling is coming! Ora is AWESOME! She is just the most beautiful talented person! I am so excited to carry Regan around in the beautiful cozy soft sling that she made! It will be in the mail and to me soon! And wouldn’t you know just days before I get my new sling my old one turns up at the lost and found at church!!! Jon had just left Kaylee at Nursery and was walking past the library and they had a table set up with a sign said, “Please take me home.” Well there it was just sitting on the table with all the other lost things. So now I will have two slings which is perfect! Kaylee had a few blowouts while in the sling and it would have been so nice to have a spare and not have to wait to get the one washed. So we had a really really great Sunday! Kaylee loves Nursery (no surprise there), and Jon found my old sling! We think a Mom picked it up and forgot it was in her bag to drop at lost and found (so understandable as Mom’s are busy), and kept forgetting to bring it back to church to the lost and found. We looked several times there for it and finally gave up. Jon says look what happens when you pay your tithing. I say too true! So we had a weekend full of blessings. Thanks everyone for your prayers Friday night. And Jake and Cole for taking care of little miss so often for us. 4/5 more weeks and then my body is aloud to kick Regan out. 🙂 As for now LOTS of R&R and water (and of course the pills). Life is great, and the gospel is true! Happy week everyone!
