Kylers first times swimming!!

Ok so i know i've been really bad about updating this lately but i think i have a little excuse :-). anyway we decided it was time for Kyler to try out the swimming pools since he loves the water so much so the first pics are from the day before he turned a month old (last friday) and then we also took him when he was a month and two days old (monday) at aunt Susie's pool. Its about 95 degrees in her pool so he liked it a bit more. anyway Enjoy. I'm gonna see if we can get the video's on here too. kacie accidentally took video of us so its not great but you get it anyway.

Here are some of the basic deets and some pics and i'll reput the email that i sent out below so everyone who wants to can know the story of his coming. Ok So no pics this time but i promise i will get just pics up the next time. they are just taking way to long to get up and we need to get some sleep before we have a long night.

Name: Kyler Judd Anderson

Born: May 31, 2008 at 4:14PM

Weight: 7lbs. 14.6 Oz

Length: 20 Inches




Hope your are doing well. Just wanted to let you know i had my baby. He was born on May 31 at 4:15 in the afternoon. We went into the hospital at 3AM. We had been asleep and i woke up feeling that i was a little wet, went to the bathroom changed my underwear and walked out to the living room when i felt more water running down my leg. by that time i had decided that my water must have broken. i woke up Kurtis and decided to call the dr. since i wasn't having any contractions i wasn't sure if i should rush right in. So i called and they told me to come in. When we got there they hooked me up to a monitor showing my contractions and the babies heartbeat. The nurse said well so you had an appointment this week where were you at then. Well i was very very disappointed this week i was almost crying after my appointment in fact because my dr had told me i had made no progress and i was still only 1cm dilated and that i probably wouldn't deliver this week and that there was a possibility that i wouldn't deliver until after my due date. So i told her she said well your probably still at a 1 then. She told me my contractions were not to impressive and that i needed to be having 3 every 8 min. at that point i was having one at the very beginning of eight min. and one at the very end. So she suggested we go walk around to see if we could get them to do something. So i got up and kurtis and i walked for about 45 min. went and got hooked up again and she came in and said.... we'll i'm not impressed. my contractions had actually gotten slower... so they hooked me up to a pitocin drip which helps speed up your contractions. And the worst part of this is i can't eat. ( i actually didn't get to eat from about 6:30 AM till 6:30PM i snuck in a little breakfast the nurse said it was ok even though your not supposed to be able to eat at all.) At about 10:00AM they said i was at a 3.5cm and my contractions were starting to hurt. At 11:45 they were really hurting and after me crying through a few contractions and trying to tuff it out until the nurse got there kurtis pushed the button and we requested my epidural. They didn't get the dr in there until about 12:15 and so by about 12:30 i was comfortable again and went to sleep they cam in and checked me at that time and i was at a 4cm. an hour and 15 min later i was at a 8.5 and was supposed to tell them when it felt like i needed to have a bowel movement. but i never had a real hard push that i needed to have a bowel movement so i just waited for the nurse to come in again. They came back 2 hrs later and said i was ready. So after that we went througha bout 6 or 7 contractions and he was here. They had me stop on the second to last one because he was coming and the dr. had gone to check on another patient really quick. the nurse was coaching me through it counting 1..2..3..4stop stop stop. so i stopped and wouldn't you know i didnt' have another contractions for like 5 min. but that was the last one. and Kyler Judd Anderson Came into the world. He weighed 7lbs. 14.6 oz and was 20 inches long. Has lots of dark hair and everyone says he looks like his mommy. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Please Let the Dr Be Wrong!!!!a;lskjf;laksjdf;lkashdlfiya;osyh

I had a dr. Appointment yesterday, it was supposed to be the last one i scheduled but alas this little boy is proving to be more and more like his dad. They told me yesterday that i haven't progressed any and didn't tell me if i had effaced any more than the 40% i was last week. All they said is your still 1cm dilated and you thin but hard. It is possible to get less effaced? Then they hit me with the bomb. After last week and telling me for sure i would have by next week, they tell me this week that.... Well you might have it this week possibly next week. WHAT!!! are you kidding me. You have to be kidding right. Not getting my hopes up or something like that. So basically they are telling me its possible that i might not even have him until after his due date. Which wouldn't bother me nearly as much if they hadn't told me that i would probably have him early and that back in january he was measuring a little early, and now that i'm still gaining 2 lbs every week i can't imagine how much he is gaining. I just keep praying that if i have to wait two more weeks to have him that he only weighs like 5 or 6lbs right now.

On top of all of this i was so excited to have next week off of work. Today was supposed to be my last day for 2 months. well oh well i guess i get to come back here next week on the day to day basis again unless by some maricle he decides to drop quickly. Oh yeah that was the main thing during my painful internal exam where i felt like they were trying to reach for my tonsils when they were reaching for his head. they told me well he's still really high. NO.. no no no no no.....

I walked this week i walked quite a bit he's supposed to be dropping its not like i have a ton of places for him to go. Anyway i beleive that i'm starting or acutally more like am in full bore into that annoyed irritated pregnancy phase. Everything annoys me i can't drive without getting annoyed i can hardly have someone talk to me without getting some sort of irritated. Plus i started nesting this week now our apt is pretty much spotless. i shampooed carpets cleaned lamp shadesm, base boards etc... isn't that supposed to be a sign he is coming? oh well. the only joy that i have found that takes my mind off it right now is reading Twilight which i picked up yesterday on my way to the dr. office. I have already read about half of it and i'm afraid if things keep going like this i'll have the entire series done by next friday or earlier. anyway i'm done being frustrated for now. Sorry to vent just needed to get SOMETHING out. lol

Suprise!!!

Ok So Saturday morning we had a small scare. The baby is generally moving during the morning at around 8AM but he wasn't moving and nothing i could do seemed to stirr him. So i got up took a shower this generally gets him started, then tried to find some sugar to eat or drink the only thing we had in our fridge was a nasty pepsi, so i sipped on that a bit. still nothing. So i asked kurtis if we could go and get some chocolate. Which this baby seems to love. So we did that got home. We were both still a bit worried so i called the dr. office and the told me the same things i was already doing. So we sat there for a few min and he started moving.

At this time we decided to go out and see if we could get some parts to fix my car. I was going to get ready or at least brush my hair when kurtis opened our door to go look at my car. Much to his suprise there we a bunch of young women at our door waiting to kidnap me. Good thing we had had the comotion we did that morning otherwise kurtis might not have been fully dressed. Anyway... So they took me sweat pants, bball shirt, washed but not combed or done anything with my hair or any other part of me.

They had planned a suprise pedicure for me and one of the other girls at church who was set to be induced the next day. So i got to the nail salon in my sweats, with my uncombed hair and my still hairy legs because remember the shower was to wake up the baby, and got a pedicure on my big fat feet. LOL It was wonderful though i had been wanting one for a while now and just didn't feel like getting out and getting one because my feet were so nasty. So now i will have very nicely french pedicured toes when i go into delivery. Thanks to the Girls. Plus they brought us each a huge nice tasty cinnimon roll form the local bakery. I would put a picture on here but i have taken my phone attachement home from work so i can update you guys when i'm there after the baby is here so i can't do that right now.

I've been Tagged!! and update

Ok so i had a dr. appointment yesterday and they told me that i'm 1full cm dialated at 40% effaiced. I'm very very glad to hear that after last week the told me that instead of being dialated like i was the week before that i was no longer. my dr. had me schedule and appointment for next week but after that she doesn't think she will schedual me becuase she thinks i will have him by then. she said he might come next week too so i'm crossing my fingers. Also i pose a question to you guys uhh she checked my cervix yesterday and caused me to bleed for well most the rest of the day. have any of you had that happen? It stopped but i thought it was more than she was thinking. anyway here is my tagg

TAG YOUR IT!!!

How To Play This Game of Tag:Post these rules on you blog. List: 3 joys, 3 fears, 3 goals, 3 current obsessions/collections, 3 random surprising facts about yourself. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

3 JOYS

1. Kurtis- I'm so glad that he is my husband we have fun together, we make fun of eachother we play together and have stupid names for eachother play dumb games and just enjoy being us. I can't imagine my life with out him.

2. My Baby- I'm so excited for our little guy i feel like i know him but i'm so excited for everyone else to get to know him, and for me to get to know him even more.

3. Family/friends- i was going to put the ocean but i thought this wins over it. I love friends and family. i love having fun and being around people enjoying games fun times vacations and just talking.

3 FEARS

1. Heights.- I learned my senior year in high school after a trip to moab that i am afraid of heights. Not all heights just like cliffs that if i were to fall off of i would definatly die.

2. Failing- All who know me know that i give my all in everything i do. I always tell people i only have two speeds not at all and full speed. (which is why i can't do any sports that i like while i'm pregnant, i don't know how to take it easy) In consequence this shows my fear of failing, failing in life, failing in being a parent, failing at really anything.

3. recently spiders-- i used to live in a basement with spiders all over they have never bothered me until i moved to utah!!! Utah has nasty spiders and worse i didn't grow up with them so i don't know which ones are really bad and i need to stay away from so i just don't like any of them. Plus for those of you that don't know i get blood poisoning from most spider bites.

3 GOALS

1. To have this baby-- this has been my #1 goal for the last few months but i'm going to add into this to be a good mom.

2. To hike Montu Pitu sometime in my life. This and to go to New Zealand have been goals of mine since well probably around 3rd grade. I've completed most of the rest of my travel goals already but these two are a bit harder to attain.

3. To be able to work at home or to be a stay at home mom so i can be there while my kids are growing up. And along with this being able to show them where and how i grew up and make sure they know that there are more important things in life than the material things, and that you can have fun in the dirt, grass, climbing trees', playing in a ditch and in a cow field.

3 current obsessions/collections

1. I'd have to say baby stuff. Everytime i go anywhere since i hate shopping for clothes for me because nothing fits i've switched into mommy mode and get stuff for the baby all the time. Especially love the little baby shoes.

2. Pictures- of late i have found out that i have a TON of pictures. we were cleaning out the babies room so we could get ready for him and i filled an entire plastic tote with pictures. I think that brings me to another goal of scrap booking all of them sometime in my life before i forget what and who are in all of them. This also suprises me a bit becuase i don't take pictures very much anymore.

3. Traveling- I love to travel i get a travel bug in the spring anytime there is nice weather i just feel like hopping on a plane or getting in a car and heading somewhere. It is something that is deeply rooted in me and has been a priority in my life since i was very young. I was lucky to have the parents and relatives i do who helped me to see all the places i have been and helped me raise the money that i had to to get there. I love to experience different places which is why i'm proud to say that i have lived on the ocean, the coast, in a little town in the country and now to a medium size city. And i have traveled to a ton of places in the north western hemisphere.

3 random facts about ME

1. i have lived in five different states ( i don't include AZ where i was born becuase i have no memory of it and i was only there for like a month) Montana, Nevada, Washington, Alaska, and Utah.

2. I have had Three last names in my life. and could have had up to 5 by now. i started with my moms maiden name Hanson until i was 8 and was adopted by my dad and went to Wadsworth and then on March 24th, 2007 i took my husbands name of Anderson. However i also could have been a Madonado, or Krantz.

3. My favorite thing to do as a kid was to hunt for treasures, bones, frogs and fish outside in ditches, sides of hills and in the creeks of montana.

Now i tagg Becky, Laura, Callie, and Hayley. Becuase i'm not sure anyone else besides katie who tagged me looks at this.

Babies!!!

Ok so here is the most recent pic of my belly. This was taken yesterday at my baby shower. This is of me and my cousin Kim who is being induced on the 2nd with her 4th child. Coincidentaly Kim is the one who through many of my birthdays growing up and i think also helped through my moms baby shower for me. Here we are.

My little fashion Sins!!!

Ok so every year this Eye wear store has a major sale where they have all of these high end retailors come in and sell basically their displays at 75% off. Last year i was justified at going becuase i just wanted to check it out. I had never been before and i needed a new pair of sunglasses that fit well. I ended up getting a pair of $40 Valentino Versace sunglasses that were retailing for $180. I know thats a lot to spend on a pair of sunglasses but i absolutly love them and i also had the luxury of having them form fitted to my face. I didnt' know they actually did that until then. here is a pic of those sunglasses.

Well this year's sale came around again and after many months of not buying myself anything i decided to spurge and get a pair of new nice sunglasses. So i headed out to the sale. Mind you it's only a three day sale with advertising over all of salt lake for brands like Nike, spy, oakley, boyle, valentino, gucci, juicie couture, fendi, armani, ect... you get the idea. So if you don't get there the first day they are pretty much picked through. so i got there at about 11:30 so i could get there before the big lunch rush. after about 20 min i finally decided on a new pair of Valentino's because they seem to fit my face the best and these also were $39.00 they retail for $380. Now i have a black and a brown pair and i love them. Life's not nessesary but fun pleasures. Plus i figure it might be the last purchase like this i make in quite a while so at least it can make me happy for a long Time!!!

i also wanted to get kurtis some becuase he doesn't have any and was looking for a nice pair of aviators but they didn't have a ton of those that weren't like $80 so i decided to just get him a nice sporty pair of polorized lens changable nike's. I'm hoping that he likes them.

Pictures sorry i couldn't take a belly picture of myself i did try though!

The Start of a great big spoiling!!!


This is my willow tree mothers Day Present

Ok so i'm soooo excited that we've somewhat gotten our nursery in order. so i figured i'd give you guys some pics. We also now have our car seat in the car and my bag is packed and in there as well. We really only need to finish cleaning our room (doing laundry) and unclutter our living room, as right now we have a few boxes in it. so here are some pics:

This is our Bassinet It is a winnie the pooh. can be a bed side sleeper and a rocker also it has a remote that comes with it as you can start the mobile or the vibration settings without walking up to it.

This is our Crib and changing table i haven't gotten around to putting any of the kajillion blankets my mom has made into it yet. I think i'm going with a jungle theme i have a monkey blanket that i absolutly love and think we'll do that with a light green color for his room. I'll be sure to send more pics once its completely finished.

And of Course did you think that my son would ever get away without sports apparel. I love these little shoes i got them 3 years ago. The others are a Jazz Biniki and a BYU Beenie.

oh yeah the pics are from my phone because our camera is packed and in the back of the car and i was to lazy to go out and get it.

Presents and Lists

i figured it might be a good idea to tell anyone who reads this that we are registered at Walmart and Target. Most of it is just practical stuff, and i didn't put any clothes on it becuase i did it online and got annoyed with it by that time. Anyway thanks for the support. I'm still going down my list trying to get everything we need but have yet to acutally go to a store to get it. So maybe tonight. We're trying to get our crib together before we bring more into an already packed room but who knew how important a drawer bottom was to putting together a crib. This peice was broken when we opened the box and so we called to get a replacement peice last friday. it should be arriving either today or tomorrow but ther are only a few peices we can put together without it. :-) Who would have thought.

The days are getting close i'm just ready for him to be here. Oh yeah i was gonna tell you guys that last night i had my first baby dream. I've had tons of weird dreams while being pregnant but this is the first time i've had a dream where i could see my baby. We'll see if he looks like he did in the dream. In the dream he had slightly dark skin, a little bit of dark hair and blue eyes. Was a fairly little guy and was very alert. So we'll see what comes of it. I'm hoping the hair is right because it was straight and i am so hoping that he'll have straight hair. And that he'll have some hair when he is born.

Wednesday I feel Better just for Spite!

My titles are from a tanya tucker song. Ok so dr. Appointment today. She told me they don't know why i get dizzy, said she was sorry that they did the catheter, that my swelling is NORMAL, and that i am 1 cm dialated.

So all is well aparently doesn't really make me feel any better but at least we're both healthy. Now if i could only sleep so i can get some rest before this baby gets here. Now i'm kinda just on a run down checklist of things we need to do. We haven't gone to any classes about labor or anything, we still need to get the crib done. and the babies room all set up. still have things to buy for the baby #1 diapers. i made a list yesterday of all the things we really need to get and most of the things on there i doubt people will buy us for a baby shower so we just need to get them. i've been putting it all off because i have two baby showers next week but at this point i don't think i can really put it off anymore. Plus if we don't open any of it we can always take it back i guess. Anyway ...

I'm so glad to have the husband i do who is taking such good care of me and not letting me get stressed out. Poor kurtis works 13 hr days and then on the weekends has been getting ready for baby. He'll be getting to take a week of when the baby is born so hopefully he'll get some bonding time in with him. I can't wait for the time off i'm taking 2 months off and am looking forward to spending it with our little guy.

monday which was never good anyway!!

Ok so in a bit of a continuation of my last rant....

I have been a bit dizzy for the last week almost now ever since my "episode" happened. The dr. had told me last week that if it continued it was probably an inner ear infection and that i should go to instacare to get checked out.

Yesterday since my ear had started to hurt on sunday and the dizziness has continued i figured ok at least i can get this treated and maybe then i won't be quite as miserable.....

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

so i left work early at about 3:30 so i could go to the insta care in bountiful i got there about 3:45 and got into see the dr. I told them all of the above so the dr came in talked with me about the goings on of the last week and whats been bothering me this week. So after this he looked in my ears... the census... they are fine. He said they aren't inflamed but to keep an eye on them becuase it can change very fast... however they wanted to do a few more tests on me to make sure it wasn't anything else. So round two of tests for Sam. test one... They drew more blood this time 3 viles full. you all know i hate needles this is the 2nd time in less than a week i have had my blood drawn but this isn't the worst part of this visit. They also take my blood pressure once while i'm laying, sitting, and standing. All of which were higher than i normally am i am usually at about 117/75 my lowest while i was laying down was 120/83 and my highest while standing was 143/85 which is ridiculously high for me. Plus my feet, face, and hands have been rediculously swollen the last few days so i figured they would tell me that i have preeclampsia since we've been watching for that anyway. oh but i'm getting ahead of the story... Then i had to give a urine sample.

After all these tests they had me sit and wait in a room for them to go through and assess the tests. He came back in said my white blood cells look fine, my urine has a trace of protien, but what they are worried about is that it looks like i have a urinary tract infection. Ok so no big deal i already have pills for this at home that i've never used because my dr. presrcibed them to be knowing that many women get these so i figure no problem easy to take care of.... but they need to check with my dr to make sure that they want me to be treated. so they call my ob's office.

Its after hours and she isn't on call so one of the other dr.'s pull my file and wants to make sure that they have diagnosed me correctly since pregnant women tend to have many different things in their urine she wants them to get a "pure" Sample by using a ..... CATHETER!!! i have never had this done. and so naturally i'm very nervous. the nurse was great but in the process they ended up using two catheters because apparently pregnant women this far along are all swollen and the first catheter ended up in my vagi gi. ok now this is the most painful part of the day but then after the test is done the dr. comes in and says well the good news is that there is no tract of infection....

So i spent 2 hours at the dr office had my blood drawn my urine taken twice the second of which was very Uncomfortable, and.... they still don't know whats wrong with me. They are having my urine cultured and my OB should have the results tomorrow when i go in for my appointment which they will be doing a strep test and hopefully that is the last test for a bit. This is also the start of my weekly visits. I just figure that this is my get ready for labor visit becuase i think at this point the needles are starting to bother me less and less and now at least i know what a catheter feels like....

just another manic monday...

oh and here is a picture of my foot already swollen at 9:47 in the morning. The line is because i am wearing my slippers to work and that is where they go up to on my foot.

I"M DONE!!!!!

ok i'm going on a rant now so be ready and proceed at your own risk.

Its a good think that you girls all of cute pics of all your kids up becuase i'm soooooooooooooooo Done being pregnant!!!! After my last post now i am starting to think that the dr. might be right and that i may have an inner ear infection. So i will be taking another trip to insta care as they have directed me to do if the dizziness persits and i already know what they will do. Besides not remembering that i'm pregnant and asking me when my last period is. Since the dr. that looked at me last time already kinda asked me about my ears and if they hurt but didn't give any explaination for the question what so ever i'm sure they will tell me oh well you may have an ear infection but we cannot prescribe you anything because.... wait for it oh my goodness your pregnant. So i will have to call my dr. have her call them most likely and tell them to prescribe me something so i can get rid of the stupid thing. So i don't feel like my head is going to fall off of my body anymore while i'm sitting or like at any moment i might fall over if i'm not careful.

On top of being dizzy, it has finally started to warm up here good yes and no. becuase now my feet are permanently a ballooned shape along with my hands and face. I feel like i have big puffs under my eyes and it doesn't matter if i sit with my feet up in the air for hours after about 30 min of them being down they puff right up again. My hands are getting so puffy my fake ring that i have on so people don't look at me with discust like i'm a single pregnant women is now stuck on my finger most of the day. And as if the dizziness wasn't enough now my head is filled with water as well so i try to rest it on my shoulder so i don't feel the weight of it.

Next You all know i pulled my ligaments shooting a layup back in january. well i've been pretty good about making sure they don't hurt however now that our little boy is getting so close to being here they are streatching now normally. Only problem they are still streached out from before so the weight makes it nearly impossible to walk anywhere without pain. if this is what it feels like to grow old i hope i die young or at least before i become miserable.

And now i've been having what i'm guessing are braxton hicks contractions about every other night so i get up at about 2:30 AM and get in a warm bath for about 30 min to make the pain go away.

And because of all this and the fact that we are now getting baby's room together my apartment is a MESS make that a DISASTER AREA. and is driving me crazy but i swear after about 5 min of work i can't handle doing anything anymore. and poor kurtis is now putting together everything so that we'll be ready when baby comes when he has any time at home. Since it is nice weather he has been working 60+ hr weeks and is gone from about 5:30 in the morning till around 7 at night.

I"m just ready for baby to be here now. If i'm loosing sleep anyway i'd much rather be spending it with my son no matter if its just him crying or not. Every one tells me how much easier they are when they're still inside but i don't think its true we'll see. I understand you don't have to feed, change them, or stop them from crying. but at least you get to see the little turd that's keeping you up and you get to hold him in your arms and see his little eyes look at you. Right now i'm just plain miserable and he's still in there. i feel like he's laughing at me too. (did i mention i think he's just like his dad already) becuase every time i finally get comfortable he goes on a tirade on my stomache. they say they aren't supposed to be moving as much at this time however i have to beg to differ it still looks like a bulldozer is trying to flatten my belly from the inside out when he moves and flips all over the place. And now that he's dropped its back to punching mommy in the bladder, and those oh so tender ligaments.


I keep telling people they should have me go to schools and give a siminar with young girls about what its like to be pregnant. I'm sure it would drop the teen pregnancy rate. Ok enough complaining. 32 more days hopefully less and i will have a beautiful bouncing baby boy and may posssibly be able to see my feet while standing up! and the best part of it all will be that i will have 2 months off to spend with my new baby boy in the beauty of summer. 32 more days 32 more days..... Thanks for listening.

I'm starting to think now i have pregnancies like my mom.

Ok so i really really can't wait for this little guy to get here!! i'm getting really excited. The new news this week..;...

I had to go into the dr. to run some tests yesterday. It all started wednesday night. I got home from work. kurtis was working in Price which is about 2 1/2 hours away. I kinda lazily sat on the couch and watched some tv, then i picked up a bit and at about 6PM i decided i needed to take a shower before i headed of from wednesday night activity at the church for YW. So as utah i've decided has now turned to montana weather it has been cold the last few days with snow coming down. (next week we are supposed to be close to 80 again) Anyway i get in the shower and its so nice to be warm so i turn the heat up just a bit get done with my shower turn off the water and as i turn around to get out i get really dizzy and my muscles just kinda give away so i decide to kneel down in the tub so i don't fall over. At this point i really only remember closing my eyes and then as i came to i remember kind of shaking. So after this i'm a little freaked out but i'm ok. I got into our room get dressed and grab my pregnancy book looking for some sort of comfort information in there. i also text kurtis telling him " hi hope everything is going well. i think i may have just had a small seizer or blacked out" he didn't answer so in about 5 min. i called no answer again and then about 5 sec. later i get a call. he hadden't yet read his text so he was calm. I talked with him for a bit and then told him the news. his reacation "you aren't going anywhere tonight. I'm calling my mom and she is going to come pick you up." said i love you and called his mom. As it is His sisters wedding tomorrow they were out at dinner, but had his sister kimly come get me. So word travels fast in this family and by the time we got to his parents house that is 5 min away i got a call from Aunt Susie telling me i need to call my dr. Oh and also i let my YW leader know that i wasn't going to make it and she was about ready to drive me to the hospital then. You all know me i'm not much of a fusser. I mean come on 2nd degree burns and i didn't go to the hospital for about 7 hrs. or something like that. anyway so i called my dr.'s office and luckily my dr. was the one on call that night. The nurse paged her and she called me back about 10 min later and told me i had probably had a case of Vaso Vigo (not sure on the spelling) but basically is a dizziness brought on by heat. She told me that i should just rest for the night and if it didn't go away by the next day to call her and they would run some tests. I HATE TESTS.

So the night was fine and the morning was going great. I got up it was snowing so kurtis didn't have to go to work he was getting ready to go play raquet ball with his sister. And we ate a breakfast together which was nice, i got ready for work. And then about 5 min after that i sat on the couch and it hit again. i was dizzy and didn't feel like i could hold my head up. So told kurtis i wanted to go to the store to check my Blood Pressure. So i called work told them i needed to call my dr. and about what had happened the night before. Then we headed to the rec center and i called my dr. I was starting to feel a bit better when the nurse finally called me back but my dr. wanted me to come in for some tests anyway so we went home kurtis got out of sweaty clothes and took me to the hospital. I had a blood test and they checked my blood pressure, then sent me on my way and told me they would let me know.

The nicest thing about this day was that kurtis cleaned the extra bedroom and started to put the crib together. Anway the verdict is that my blood test was fine except i am anemic. So they have me know on iron pills and they say that it might also be an inner ear infection and that if my ear starts to hurt i need to go to a dr. and have it checked out.

All in all today is 5 weeks till delivery, and i'm so excited to get him here i'm ready for him to be here now. Its scary when i i'm lying in bed in the morning with kurtis to think soon there will be a third one in our little family, no longer just the two of us. but at the same time i'm looking forward to brining baby home and watching him grow. Anyway girls All is well and we'll keep ya updated.

Warm weather a blessing or a curse?

oh my goodness we finally got a bit of warm weather this week. the green grass is growning and its starting to feel like spring and summer. I'm so excited i love the smell of fresh cut grass and being able to walk around outside barefoot in it. But as the pregnancy has shown me some of my favorite things aren't so easy any more. it is really just barely warm i think sunday it was in the high 60's we have church at 1:00 PM so it makes for a lazy morning. you all know me and how i like things to be about 80 all the time. well i'm definatly getting that pregancy heat now. Our apt was probably about 60 and kurtis was cold and turned on the heater and i was dying. Then we went to church which for once had the ac on. We have a ward filled with quite a few older couples so they make it generally unbarebly hot in there even for me normally. Kurtis told me it acutally wasn't bad in there this sunday but i still ended up going into the bathroom and running my pudgy puffed up hands under the cold water for about 5 min. before returning to sacrament with two paper towels that had also been run under the hot water. I shared time with those between my hobbit feet and my pudgy hands trying to cool down. Alas i ended up leaving and having kurtis take me home to our once again cool apartment with about 15 min left of sundayschool. i've been finding that my feet even just sitting for about 15 to 20 min end up getting puffy it is the least bit warm wherever i am at.

So for now i'm day dreaming of my inlaws 3 foot deep pool and nice days so i can enjoy the sunshine and stay cool. :-) so close now girls almost down to 5 weeks!!!!! I promise i'll get some picks up this week the baby has dropped so i can breath again but its making sleeping a little harder. But it makes me feel like i kinda look cute in clothes again which has made me feel a little better.

Anyway hope all is well with everyone we'll keep you updated.

almost 34 weeks!!

Ok so now that we're not sick anymore and things are relativly back to normal i figure i can put up a small update blog. I went to the dr. this morning i have one more 2 week checkup and they will be doing a strep test then. I'm hoping that soon we will get to have another ultra sound so they can somewhat figure how big he is. All they told me this time was that in two more days when i hit 34 weeks if i go into labor they won't stop it. Yay. That means its getting close.

In other news my parents came down this last weekend and got to see my pregnant belly. My dad most likely won't be coming down after i have the baby so it was nice to see him. No one really said anything except the following. Jay said "sam you look alot different when your pregnant." and dad said hugging me was like hugging a basketball. Mom brought down lots of presents for baby. My favorite are two stuffed animal puppets. One is a duck and the other is a frog and they ribbit and quack different songs when you push their mouths together. I love them. I'm not sure if they will have any battery left by the time our little boy gets here but i figure thats ok. Other than that she brought a big shopping bag full of clothes. Some really cute ones, and 3 tubs of blankets. I made her go home with one. As we are still in the process of getting the babies room ready and i still haven't figured out a theme for it hopefully these blankets will help. Along with each blanket is either a matching 2 or 3 burp clothes, a toy or a few hats one for baby and one for toddler. I'll see if i can't some more pics up on here sometime soon i'm just absolutly horrible at taking pics so...

Other than that i'm by myself today and most of tomorrow kurtis has to go do a job for work in st. george and won't be back for a bit so i'll have the house to my self. don't know what i'm going to do with the time. we'll see i guess. anyway hope all is well

Can baby say Walking Pneumonia?

First off laura you have to let me know when you get to utah for sure!!!

Now well so i may not get preeclampsia or bleed during my pregnancy like my mother did.... but i get everything else i think. So last week on about wednesday i started not feeling to great. Since Kurtis got what we thought was a cold the saturday before we figured i had just caught his cold. However thursday night after talking with his parents we found out that his brother Kevin has walking Pneumonia. And since kurtis's cough sounded a lot like kevins his mom and i were both thinking that we should go into the dr. However i am glad she said it to him before i did. So we were ok thurdsay and then friday we had a game night where we were both hacking up a lung. That night i couldn't sleep and at about 5 AM i decided to take a bath to try and get the pain out of my chest. When i got back to bed at about 7AM apparently i was pushing kurtis away anytime he got near me. Now thats not all that uncommon but ususally i remember such a thing and don't do it hurtfully. So he got out of bed and i slept until about 9:30. NOT NORMAL for me anyway. so when i got up we went to the dr. the best part of this trip for me was when the nurse who was going over our symptoms etc asked me when my last period was. kurtis an i both kinda looked at each other and smirked and i proceded to say ahh august...31st. all the while she was looking down at her paper and her face was priceless. when she did look up i told her i was pregnant. Then proceded to ask kurtis if i really just looked fat. But he explained that since i was wearing sweats and a hoody that it did just kinda look like i was a little plump.

Anyway so they basically told me that they couldn't do anything for me tested me for strep which was negative. Which i could have told them and then said well even if you do have anything we can't give you and x-ray and even if we could we can't give you any meds. soo.. on to kurtis. They did give him an x-ray and said there was a little fluid in his lungs but not much, however since his brother has walking pneumonia that wanted to treat him as if he had it full blown. so they perscribed him some meds and we picked them up that afternoon.

We stayed home from church on sunday so bad but hey at least we didn't infect anyone. and i slept in till 11 AM i think that might be a record. went to family night at his parents where we just kinda laid there the whole night i didn't ever really wake up that day.

on to monday...

Monday i went into work was there for about 5 min and my supervisor told me to go home and not to come back unless i was feeling better. so i've been out of the office for two days. But on monday i also called my dr. and after basically the whole day they got me on some meds. actually the same exact stuff that kurtis is on. so here we are day three of walking pneumonia... and going strong.

For the record i envy those that love being pregnant because i wish i did and i feel bad that i don't. but i am tired of being sick. But i am so thankful for the baby that is on the way and i know he will be worth all of it. i just wish he would get here sooner....

update!

Ok for laura and anyone else wondering my Due Date is June 7th, but i'm shooting for him arriving on May 31.

So preganancy has done a number of weird things to me and my body but among the newest development has been my eye sight. I have been having some blurry vision lately and trouble getting things to focus like letters on a computer. Since i have been under watch for getting preeclampsia i have been monitoring things like this lately. aka swelling fat feet, fingers, face(check) headaches (check) blurry vision (check) Stomache Pains (Check) Protien in Urine (Check) High blood pressure NOPE. So at my dr appointment the dr and i talked about all the symptoms i've had. We figured that the swelling feet was from traveling and not getting enough water, that the headaches adn blurry vision went together, and the stomache pains were either gas or something to do with my gull bladder that we can't do anything about until after the baby is here anyway. I think the protien in my urine happend to be because i had a big steak the night before for dinner. And since i have really low bp 116/71 i do not have preeclampsia. which is great.

So now it was time to figure out what was wrong with my vision after talking with some people at my office and becky and reading different things on the net about vision and pregnancy and the weird things it can do to you i decided to get my eyes checked. So after the exam the dr told me its very common that after the baby is born that your eyes go back to normal. Meaning in short that my yes got worse in fact one eye was as much as .75 worse. The good thing is that i can go back after the baby is born and he will check my eyes for free since its only in a few months.

I've decided that your body is just stupid the first time you have a baby it doesn't know what to do or what is going on. Or that at least that is what my body has done. However i am very happy that my baby is healthy and i for the most part am healthy and have had no real complications. one more day and i am 32 weeks. wahoo!!!

little scare

So tuesday night i had a bit of a scare. I was getting these sharp pains in my stomach and the little turd (i've so affectionatly started calling my son who is obviously taking after his father already) was moving so much that it hurt more. they've been monitoring me pretty cautiously for preeclampsia (toxemia) for the duration of my pregnancy and with the swelling i had around easter we've been trying to be really careful. They had told me before that if i started to get cramping or stomach pains to first try some tums or some sort of ant acid so did. Unfortunatly it didn't do a thing. so i decided it might be just gas and decided to take a warm bath and kinda stick it out. we ended up going to bed early and at about 4:30AM it started to feel better. By morning i still had a bit of pain right at the bottom of my rib cage. now first of all that night i'm sitting there going through one of my pregnancy books trying to figure out whats going on. Let me tell you something how are you supposed to know what any of these things feel like unless you've experienced them!!! anyway... so i wake up in the morning still in a little pain and decide i need to call my dr to make sure everything is ok. Of course being a girl and a country girl at that i think the first thing we all do is call our mothers. Not to mention that my mom did have toxemia with me so if that is whats going on she would kinda be able to explain what everything feels like. to make a long story short mom thinks it could be the baby just pushing on a nerve or gas something like that but tells me if it countinues to hurt to call the dr. So after i get off the phone i called the dr. They told me it could have been braxton hicks contractions, could be a sign of preeclampsia but since i haven't had any of the other symptoms of it for the last little bit and i have a dr appointment next wednesday that just to monitor if i get any swelling or blurry vision to come in immediately. or that it could just be gas, and to take some more pepto. They basically told me that with any of these the best thing to do is to relax lay down with your feet up and drink lost of water. most of these things can be brought on my dehydration and stress so i needed to take the day off and not do anything.

So yesterday i layed on my back at our apartment all by myself all day being annoyed at daytime television. i don't know how much of a de stresser that was but no pain yet today....

Fresh of the press Belly Pics

Here you go Guys these were taken this morning. Sorry if i look a little onery i was really tired.

hello All

hello all. We had a fun easter. We dicided to go on a mini vacation with our friends Katie and Brandon to Mequite over easter. Their family goes down every year to have easter with her dad's parents. We shot guns, played some bingo and a few slots and had some good food at the buffets. plus we played in an arcade and just enjoyed the sun and the time away. My feet got to a record puffyness i was telling everyone they were very hobbitesk. Since we got back they have gone back down to normal. Didn't really feel like easter but was still a very very nice break from the last really busy month, plus our anniversary was on monday so we were celebrating it while driving home. We didn't really do anything but it was still a nice day. we were going to get out the rest of our wedding cake as it is tradition to eat it on your one year anniversary but as of yet we still haven't maybe this weekend.

In news this week, it has finally slowed down a bit. i got my hair cut yesterday becuase i couldn't stand not having it look good anymore plus it was so thik it was driving me crazy. The girl who cut it thinned it out twice because it was so thick. I love it its the shortest its been in about 2 years but so nice and light and easy.

anyway hope everyones holidays were great!!

hopefully the end of a stress filled week...

Ok so we didn't get the house... but we're still looking. They counter offered us but only went down on their original price 5, 000. so we said forget it if they really want to sell it they might come back to us later. And yay last night we finished our yw/ym wednesday night combined activity that was a mystery dinner. I have been planning this with a 17 yr old, and our young womens president and we have both been a little stressed in the last few weeks about it. It went really well but at the end of the night my ankles had swelled up to about the size of softballs. Oh tuesday i had a glucose test and yesterday morning i had a dr. appointment. Lucky me no problems as of yet. This weekend we are going to mequite NV to relax with some friends. We figure this might be the last time we will be able to get a way before the baby gets here so we're taking it plus we've decided it is our anniversary getaway since its monday.

crazy to think i've been married a year and even crazier to think i'm gonna have a baby in 2 more months.

House shoppping is my least favorite but...

So we are putting a bid in on a house tomorrow. Its a nice 2100 sq. ft. house with 4 bedrooms 2 bath, and a beautiful deck. Its in a nice quite area in North Salt Lake acutally about 2 blocks away from our current apartment. We are putting our bid in at about 30,000 below what they want so its kinda a long shot to get it but with the market the way it is i guess we never know. So i thought i'd share some pics of what could become our home. We'll know on Wednesday whether we get it or not.

haaaa.... one more day till 24!

So i'm safe. My Dr. appointment went great. She said your weight is good your blood pressure is great, no protien in your urine (if you wanted to know). So Happy Happy Joy Joy. Smiles all around!!!! all that stressing out about it all was for naught. Lets just hope it stays that way. I do have another appointment on the 19th wehre i do my glucose test. so... but i was told by a friend here that it isn't as bad as everyone says.

So my B-day is tomorrow and i'm taking the day off i think Kurtis has something planned for us, it will be nice to just have a day together since we've been so busy and on pretty much different parts of the state the last two weeks. I'm excited. Anyway nice short and sweet thats the blog of the day... Maybe one of these days i'll have kurtis take some pics of me at the pool and put up on here. then again maybe not. lol.

March hey I'm almost a quarter centry old!!

March is here yay. I've feel like I've been so busy the last few weeks. Kurtis has been out of town in Moab for work, I was house sitting for his parents this last week which was great(but gave me a sample of what its like to have 3 teenagers busy busy busy), my friend Angie is getting married this Saturday and for the past three weeks i have had a bridal shower to go to every Saturday. Though its all been fun i feel like it has gone so fast. My Birthday is Wednesday and i've vowed to take the day off so Kurtis and i can spend some time together but i kinda feel bad because i have a Dr. Appointment tomorrow morning and will be late getting to work, and an endowment to go to on Friday. Whew....

I'm a little nervous about my dr. appointment tomorrow. I've been watching what i eat and trying to get exercise by swimming, but the last two weeks i have been unmotivated since kurtis isn't here and lap swimming is at 9pm and by then with the busy schedual i've been exhausted. Plus two weeks ago i got a flu bug for about 3 or 4 days and then this last week i generously got a cold where i think my entire brain filled up with snot that permenantly plugged my nose for the week. i think i went through 3 boxes of tissues. Now that i'm feeling better i have one day to go swimming before the appointment and i already know i've gained more than they wanted me to. I cannot beleive it. my belly is getting really big as the last blog kinda showed and since my torso is so short it really has no where to go but out. No stretch marks yet but i'm beggining to think that might be a wishful thought that i won't get any especially after seeing how much bigger callie's belly has gotten in the last few months.

I keep judging my puffyness by how well i can get on and off my wedding ring. some days i think the water gain is so much that its hard to get it of and then the next day it comes off fine. i don't know. But it all seems to be scaring me a bit. I'm afraid i'm not going to be able to loose the weight after but even more afraid that because the dr. told me that if the weight gain was to much that that probably mean the baby is growing fast and she's worried about him getting to big for me to deliver. One part of me keeps say hip hips has she seen your hips. I did inherit my mothers birthing hips, but the other part of me keeps thinking kurtis's last sibling were all over 10 lbs.

Anyway enough on my mental breakdown.... on the plus side this friday makes it offically 3 months till due date. then little baby anderson will be here and i can stop worrying about all of that and focus on the bundle of joy he is.

He has been very active lately. Just last night kurtis felt him as he was Rolling as i call it in my belly. he seems to do that lately right before we go to bed. i think he's just finding himself a nice comfy spot to sleep. i've also learned that he either hates or loves it when i sing to music. he tends to kick me on my way home from work when i'm singing in the car i think that its just our little jam session and that he is starting to fall in love with music already but i'm a little bias. Still no name for him as i am convinced not to give him one until i see him.


Anyway i better get back to work love you all. i'll let you know how everything goes.

Belly Button

Ok so most of you know that i used to have my belly button pierced. I alway thought i have had a pretty deep belly button as you generally have to stick about the whole first phalanx (bendy part of your finger) in my belly button to reach the bottom. However now as you can see both of the holes from my piercing arou now on top of my belly and the top hole used to be just at the very top of my belly button. on the up side now if i were to draw two eyes in above it it would look like someone was singing. Lol. enjoy!!!

Cleaning

Just Cleaning out my phone and thought i might as well post some pics of us. This just proves that though i am weird i married someone just as weird as me....
I think this one was a while ago, just cuz kurtis has increadibly short hair in this pic.

Bugg eyed pouty faces my favorite.

Kacie took this picture on sunday we've decided that i look like some sort of weird human puppy!

And my favorite kurtis pretending to pick his nose. This is what comes up when he calls me.

Just Keep Swimming, Swimming, Swimming

I figured that i'd write to tell you all how we're doing and what we've been up to.

Kurtis is just starting to get back into the swing of things at work. In asphalt the winter is down time pretty much. They've been working down at the flat getting things ready for this year and helping out at his bosses dads house with some chores. This next week he will be gone all week to moab where they have a job doing to paving i think. I will be moving in with the in laws for the week because apparently since i've gotton married i've become a scaredy pants. I'm still working at Bonneville we're rather slow right now so they are giving me more jobs to do, maybe that will mean i will get a raise soon!

Outside of work Kurtis is on a rec volleyball league in Murray. He plays ever thursday night and has been having fun with it. Volleyball is probably his favorite sport to play so getting to play it every week seems to be lifting his spirits. He also has been playing church ball every Saturday when they have enough guys. I am coaching our YW basketball team its been fun, my girls are undefeted and we have 2 games left so they're pretty excited. Especially since they are so young and really i only have 3 that know anything about basktball out of the 8. I've been having a hard time with the coaches on the other teams. they seem to think that this is the major leagues, and take it a little to seriously. Imagine that coming from me lol.

At my last Dr. appointment at the end of January my dr. told me that i needed to exercise more. The baby was measureing a little big and i had a big weight gain ( which i attested to not having a belly and then bam having one.) she was worried that if the baby keeps grown that fast that i wouldn't be able to deliver him naturally and would need a c-section. This was also about a week after i tore my round ligaments and had been having trouble just walking. So since i couldn't do anything that i was used to doing for exercise and i couldn't really walk i decided to try something new. So Kurtis and i now swim about 3 days a week at our rec center pool. It has been wonderful. i admit its very tiering but well worth it. I feel so light in the water and have noticed that once i get to a certin point i just bob right up. Kurtis has been teaching me form and breathing. He used to be on the swim team in highschool, so i'm lucky to get tips from him. Plus a nice thing is that during leisure swim i get to play bball in the water and i don't get hurt. :-)

Other than that we really haven't been doing much. We are really waiting for the good weather to get here the last few days we have had blue skies and 40-50 degree weather, but today we have a winter weather warning in effect until 10 pm and are supposed to get between 4-10 inches. So hopefully they are wrong.

anyway thats us. TTFN

Euphoria of Spring

Its been awhile since I’ve wrote like this but the sun is out the skies are blue and the feel of spring is upon me. And those of you who were in Marchant’s English class in high school understand what that seems to do to me. A gentle euphoria consumes me and nothing but whimsical bliss fills my body. Its days like these that I wish I could capture in a bottle and put them on a shelf so I could take them out to enjoy on a cold winter day. The flicker of green grass through the glistening snow, a drop of hope that the beauty of the world is under there waiting for its time to shine. I think the only thing that could make this more perfect would be if the ocean we’re at my feet. I’ve always said that there is a soothing, healing power possessed in the ocean. Its unexplainable, like a wonderful magic healing. The sounds the smells the beauty and wonder of the ocean. I count myself truly blessed to be have been able to experience the ocean in its entirety for two summers. It did heal me in so many ways. Alas the spring fever has hit me, the one thing I love about living in a desert is that spring seems to last a bit longer. Spring rain, spring grass, spring flower and spring skies. I look out the window and am taken back to my childhood running through fields with that wonderful big sky above and the smells of mud, dirt and fun. My favorite place as a kid was exploring nature, the animals the water, the trees, the mud. It whisked me away to my many daydreams, I was a paleontologist, a marine biologist, I was huck fin. Sometimes now that I know I’ve become an adult I wish I could go back to those days, where my dreams where the limit and all it took to keep me occupied for hours was my imagination and a field, creek, and trees. I have a feeling that if I were back there I would still enjoy it but not to the magnitude that I did then. What is that change that happens when our imaginations seem to become dull, that our fantasies become out of our reach and we stop dreaming altogether. I believe that the euphoria of spring takes me back, it brings by my childhood, the excitement of shorts and warm weather. The chance to go outside and explore, trips and friends it brings my dreams back to my grasp with the brightness of the sun and sends light throughout my body. I can’t help but smile.

Belly Pics

Alright girls here they are.... I had Janet (kurtis's Mom take these Saturday night. And so you all know this belly didn't really appear until last week and it has grown quickly. Callie i don't know how you even function with your belly mine is driving me crazy. Especially since our little boy is so low, he is really not even above my hips and so i've just decided that he has pushed everything else up and thats why my belly is getting so big. Anyway Enjoy!!! By the way i hate the middle picture so i hope you all like it.

OK OK I'm writing agian but you'll still have to wait for pics sorry!!!

Ok so it has been FOREVER since i last updated the blog i keep telling myself that when the baby is born i will get better. But we'll have to wait and see. Anyway Sorry no belly pictures i was really trying to get them done this weekend but alas i am a big picture slacker. So the big news as most of you know is....

ITS A BOY!!!! we found out last Thursday January 17th. (funny enough this is the day that kurtis proposed last year.) so maybe something good will happen next year at that time too. We had an ultrasound and the nurse was having trouble seeing what exactly he was because he likes to have his legs crossed. Anyway the nurse measured the body and we have some pics from the ultrasound of feet arms etc. our favorite seems to be what i call the terminator picture. its a picture of the babies eye and it looks like a machine its crazy!!! Anyway since she was unable to figure out what the baby was she assured us that the dr. would be in soon, (aka we waited for about and hour for him to come in) and that he would be able to tell us. So the dr. came in said everything looked normal and that even though the measurements put me about 3 days ahead of schedule to stay with our original due date. Then he asked if we had any other questions. To which we were both like "uhhh can we find out what it is" he seemed surprised and was like they didn't tell you and we told him that they were having a hard time so he got out the ultrasound machine again and started to probe. Also worth mentioning He seems to like to hang out right on my Bladder as if its he own personal body pillow. The nurse and the Dr. commented about how low he is. When he finally found him again he was like well i can see why they've been having so much trouble, as his legs were still crossed. so after i told kurtis to stop poking the baby the dr. used the ultrasound tool and banged it onto my stomach to get him to uncross his legs. Then came a question: "so what do you think that is" i have to admit i felt a little like Rachel from friends as i couldn't see anything. But kurtis answered quickly "its a penis" and the dr. said " its a girl.. with a penis" lol and said "no i'm just joking its about see here is the scrotum and the head of the penis, i'm 100% sure if i'm wrong you can call me" so we're pretty darn sure that is a boy!

now the news of the week. So you all know that i'm very competitive when it comes to sports. Well i've been very good not even been around sports so i'm not tempted to play. We'll i happen to be the Young Women's b-ball coach. so Tuesday was our first game. Which we won 25 to 1. however before hand i was playing around nothing hard or anything and picked up a ball and did a layup. well apparently i pulled or strained my round ligaments. So i can hardly walk now its getting a little better but i've been told by my dr. the only thing i can do is take Tylenol and hot/cold it and they gave me a number to a physical therapist. so i took yesterday off and am back at work today. hobbeling around, i was told that it doesn't get better until after the pregancy is over which could make for a miserable 4 1/2 months but we'll see.

anyway sorry no pics i'll get them soon. Love you all!!!
