Doctor Update

Well I went to the doctor yesterday for a check up and things are going okay. I'm still suppose to be on bedrest, which is impossible. We may have a November baby instead of Dec. I was dialated just a little and I'm 65% effaced. As long as I can make it to 35 weeks than I can deliver here in Elko. If I by chance go into Labor before that than they will be flying me to Salt Lake. I'm just glad the baby is doing good and he has a really strong heart beat. He kicks me like crazy. I'll try to get some pictures posted of this big belly this weekend. I want to wish everyone a happy and safe Halloween and don't eat to much candy!!

Gotta Love Kisses

Loren is getting so funny and makes us laugh often!! The other day Logan and I was on the couch and she was in between us. I told her to go give dad a kiss so she did but right after she would come kiss me. She went back and forth for a good 5 minutes just giving us kisses. And when she kisses her mouth is open so wide that all we can do is laugh. I decided to kiss Logan and see if she would get mad or jealous, basically just to see what response I could get out of her. Well when I pulled away from kissing Logan she grabbed the back of my head and pushed it towards Logan and said "momma". She wanted me to kiss Logan again, and every time I would pull away she would push my head towards him. She is such a goof ball. I want to try and get some pictures of her kissing one of us, because the mouth wide open is priceless!!

I thought I would post some pictures of our trip out to Logans work, Barrick Goldstrike. We got to go out there the end of July to take pictures and video of Family Days and put a DVD together. These are the trucks that Logan works on every day he is out there. I really feel bad for the poor guy. They have a hour long bus ride (one way) and than work 12 hour days. It also takes him about 20 min to get to the bus from our house. He leaves our house at 5 in the morning and doesn't return till 8:20 at night. I guess we need to make a living one way or another, huh. I just couldn't get over how big the dump trucks our. They are the biggest around. We also got a picture of us by a bar of GOLD!!!! Man how I wish I could take that home.

Bed Rest

I'm really trying to figure out how in the heck I am suppose to be on bed rest or even take it easy for that matter. Yesterday was Logans first day back to work since I had went to the hospital. I had nobody around but Loren and me. She was pretty good for the most part. She stayed really entertained for the morning and early afternoon but after her nap she was wild and into everything and seemed to be very demanding. The hard part is I can sit here on the couch but she plays the up and down game and that gets really uncomfortable on me. Lets just say by the time Logan got home, I was soooo.... tired, wore out and hurting. I'm just thankful for naps and bedtimes!! I think I may even take my mom up on taking Loren for a week just to give me some good rest.

Today we thought we better carve our pumpkins since Logan has to work all weekend and only has 1 day off next week before halloween. Lorens is done like Nemo, mine is Buzz Light Year and Logans is a Pirate. We had a lot of fun doing it, it was just really really time consuming especially with having a little one try to help. Logan got really creative and decided to use an electric saw to carve the tops out, What a MAN!!!!

My check up today

Well I had a doctors appointment today and it went pretty well. They didn't take me off of bedrest of course nor do much about my medicine. They did an ultrasound and I will try to post some pics within the next few days. By our dates I should be about 32 weeks but this little or should I say big guy is measuring around 33 weeks. The doctor said he should be around 8lbs!!! They do think that the reason I may be having contractions is some tests came back showing that I could have Kidney Stones. The thought ran through my head about a week ago but I pushed it aside. So I guess I will just drink lots of water and hopefully get through the next month.

Not again

Well the thing we have feared with this pregnancy has come true!! I started having contractions on saturday so went into the hospital and now I am on or suppose to be on full bedrest, blah. I had to spend the night in the hospital and all I could think about is "how am I suppose to be on full bedrest with a 17 month old wild child". Logan works 12 hour days and is gone a total of 15. When he is home he helps tonz!!!! Anyways you might be hearing from me a lot more now that all I can do is sit and try to take care of Loren

Trip to Utah

Well we just got back from a trip to Utah. It was a long trip and it seemed like we were always on the go. We arrived to Utah on Friday and we went to dinner with our friends Hope and Tom at the Elks and than we went and watched the Tooele Homecoming game. My nephew Wade was playing so we thought we would go and support him and our old school. It was sad cause Tooele got there but kicked on their homecoming. On saturday we went to the Salt Lake Temple. Hope and Tom got sealed and asked us to be apart of it and it was so amazing. After the sealing we took some pictures and than we went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and ate at The Roof. Logan and I had never been and OH MY GOSH... it was sooooo GOOD!! We had a gorgeous view of the temple and a peaceful dinner without a wild child. On sunday we went up to Duchesne and spent some time with my Aunt Joann. She has been fighting cancer for the past 4-5 years and has went through 3 rounds of chemo and 1 round of radiation. She has an infection that has spread completely threw her body and they don't expect her to be here much longer. Its was really hard to see her but it was such a blessing as well. I got some really good pictures of her and Loren and me. (I will post them as soon as I have some time. I'm just glad we got to go and spend a couple of days cause its probably the last time we will see her. When we left Duchesne we stopped by Spanish Fork and spent a couple of hours with my grandma and grandpa Purcell. It was awesome to see them, it had been a whole year!! Time really does fly by. They let Loren pick out a pumpkin so we will be carving that sometime this week.
