Here are some pics of tony's new and improved knee! well... its not so improved yet. but once he recovers from surgery we are hoping he does much better. He was discharged late this afternoon. He is happy to be home and to my cooking!! but he is having a hard time letting me help him. It aggravates me because I dont want him to hurt himself more. but he doesnt listen very well (typical man). well hopefully he lets go of some of his pride soon. I told him he has to recover quickly so he is well enough to help me after my c-section. and so that he can hold his son without crutches!

Tony's surgery

Tony's Surgery went well. They didn't have to do the micro fracture so he should be off of crutches within 6 weeks as long as all goes well. I think he is required to use cane after that. but I'm not sure. So anyway he should be off of crutches by the time Cyrus arrives. Thank goodness!!! Unfortunately He will be in the hospital until at least Monday. The Dr said he would not consider discharging him until at least then. I don't like being alone so times like this make me very grateful for my dogs!! He is in a lot of pain but that's to be expected when they peel your leg open like a banana. His Dr. gave me a diagram of what they did. I will post it probably tomorrow or so. for now I'm exhausted and am going to hit the rack.

Tony found this pic online and put it as our screen saver. it makes me laugh everytime i sit down at the computer. Hope it brings a smile to your face too.

Patriarchal blessing

I am preparing to get my patriarchal blessing. I have my interview February 1st. Im very excited. My interview was supposed to be yesterday. but with Tony's surgery and everything else on my mind I need more time to prepare for it so we moved the interview to february 1st. I am very excited and very grateful for this wonderful blessing.

"Dang woman how big do you want your belly to get?"

28 weeks




With being sick and all I kinda slacked on the growing belly pics. when I don't look at the pics I don't realize how much I'm growing. yesterday I told TonyI dont think Cyrus is growing anymore because I don't think I'm getting bigger. Of course my smart butt husband says "Dang woman how big do you want your belly to get?" That small screen on our camera can really be deceiving! I really thought I hadn't been growing. But When I uploaded the pics onto my computer I realized he is growing just fine and I have the belly to prove it! Here are my 28 30 and 31 week pics. I'm really surprised I don't have back pain yet. So I'm really not obsessed with pics of myself I just love showing how much my baby is growing and unfortunately for all of you he is in my belly!! I didn't take pics of my belly with Gabriel between 28-32 weeks and my last pic was 35 weeks I really regret it now. I think I'm worst than Alaina with taking pictures I take pictures of everything!!! Gabriel has more pics than most babies do after 6 months!!!

30 weeks

31 weeks

last week was really exciting well... not really it was actually pretty miserable. On Sunday night i got really sick plus ever since Christmas I have had a hard time keeping hydrated. well i started contraction they were mild but I knew I shouldn't be contracting as much as I was plus I needed to get some iv fluids so I went to labor and delivery. they gave me an iv and and Zofran and confirmed that i was indeed contracting. They said they would only have to give me meds to stop the contracting if it was causing me to dilate so they monitored me for a few hours to make sure i was dilating. Thank goodness I wasn't because I think the dang exam table (we don't get beds unless we are in labor) was more uncomfortable than the stomach cramps, nausea and contractions. so i was released and told that if my contractions become more regular to come back in. I was sick until about Tuesday ... then my lucky hubby got sick only he got it much worst he was throwing up every 5-10 minutes for several hours. they were having a hard time getting his vomiting under control in the ER. he was pretty miserable. we went in around 330 and he wasn't released until 1130 the next day. I was so tired and he was sleeping like a baby with all the drugs they gave him, Lucky guy. well we are both better now but Tony's surgery has been moved to Jan 16Th. This is a good thing because the recovery time is quite lengthy for this procedure. No weight bearing for 6 weeks and no driving for 4-6 weeks. He will be in the hospital for 3-5 days and on convalescent leave for 30 days. My c-section will be around the 9Th so tony will just be getting close to being able to put weight on his leg. hopefully I don't go into labor earlier because I will be hunting for someone to drive us to the hospital unless he is cleared to drive at that point. well at least things stay interesting.
