Preschool Graduation

Skye graduated preschool!! Seriously!?! They had the cutest little ceremony for her class.  They had their own little parts they got to say and had a few cute little singing parts.  I'm just gonna be honest.... I did cry and Jared was laughing at me! It just hit me that in just a couple of months I'm sending my little girl out into the world.... I know so dramatic! I didn't think I was going to have a hard time sending Skye to school all day long but I'm freaking out a little bit. Skye is so ready to go to kindergarten and she will do awesome and make a lot of friends and fun memories. Hopefully I will be ready to let my baby girl go!  Until then we are going to have an awesome summer!!!

My Birthday Girl!

Skye: "Look mom I'm a whole hand!"

Yep, Skye turned 5 on March 31st which was also on Easter this year.  I asked her what she wanted and she said a Lalaloopsy doll.  Of course birthday girl gets what she wants but I still think they are a little creepy. ;)  Here's a few things I love about my birthday girl: Skye has the funniest face expressions! Like when she's having a conversation with anyone her face expressions are so entertaining.  Skye wants to where a dress or skirt 24/7. If I give her shorts to put on she looks at me like I'm crazy... then she says, "Mom, these are not a skirt!" Skye also loves drawing pictures of us.  She gives me 10 pictures a day of me and her with long hair and Jared and Bree with short hair. She thinks its funny that Bree has short hair like her daddy because according to Skye girls are supposed to have long hair like Rupunzel and Cinderella.  Lol, she is my beautiful princess! Happy Birthday Skye!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good Times!

Its been a fun couple of months around here! In February Jared and I took Skye to the dunes with his brothers family.  Bree stayed with my mom because she's not quite old enough to ride the quads and stay out of trouble. Skye got to ride the kid quad around and Jared and I took her on the artic cat a ton.  She was not a big fan of Jared going on the razor backs with her but got use to it after awhile.  Even though we dont have any boys and Skye's the biggest princess ever Jared was excited to do what he loves with his baby girl. ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got to attend the Special Olympics at Bree's preschool.  Bree loved doing all the stations and was getting along with all of her classmates. The school Bree goes to is for special needs kids and alot of the students are in wheelchairs or have some kind of disability.  I know Bree is only there for her speech and doesn't have a major disibility but I'm so glad she got to be apart of such a wonderful program.  Seeing the kids having a blast no matter what disability they had was amazing to be apart of.  She even got a cool trophy at the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bree also went on her first field trip to a farm. Skye didn't have preschool that day so she was able to come with us. I can't remember what the name of the farm was called but I know it was mostly had cows.  Skye and Bree got to pet a chicken, feed a goat, climb on a tractor and at the end eat icecream that was made from the cows milk we just saw.

It's been a fun couple of months but what makes it even more busy and fun for me is that I'm the assistant coach of the 9th grade softball team at Mesa High School. I've been asked the last couple of years to help coach softball but it just never worked out with my kids and my schedule.  I wasn't even going to coach this year because when I was asked I was pregnant at the time and not feeling good and I didn't want to stress me or my baby out so I said no.  But after losing the baby and talking with Jared we decided that coaching would be a really good thing for me to do this year.  So, I told them I would. And we were right It's been a good thing for me to help girls with something I've played all my life and love doing.  It's so weird coaching at the high school I played at but it is way fun.  Even though we have lost every game we played so far we have the funnest girls who try their hardest. I don't know where I'll be at next year but I'm happy I decided to coach this year.

 

 

 

Bree turns 3!

 

Yesterday Bree turned 3! What can I say about the Breebers!?! Mother like daughter! ;) She has definitely kept me on my toes since she was born. Bree is very stubborn and wants to do things on her own time and only if its her idea. She is a leader thats for sure and won't be bossed around by anyone. I love this about her!  Bree loves putting on necklaces, makeup, rings, a princess dress, etc... Another girly girl thats for sure but a fiesty one at that. Bree is my good eater which is a big deal around my house because Skye and I are both really picky so its nice that Bree can eat just about anything. Even though she is fiesty and stubborn she is a sweet little girl. Bree loves her sister and wants to be around her 24/7. Bree even yells at me to be nice when I put Skye in timeout. Shes got her sisters back! I love my baby girl! Happy Birthday Bree!!!

 

Not only was it Bree's birthday yesterday she also started preschool.  She goes to the same preschool Skye use to go to...EMECEC. Bree doesn't talk very well for her age at all.  I'm really the only person who can understand her and I can only understand 75% of what she says. Its not really words that she says its more like sounds. It's really frustrating so we decided to get her evaluated and the teachers also confirmed that she needs extra help for her speech. I don't know why I have bad talkers but I'm really happy that they have a school for Bree to help her get where she's supposed to for her age.  She loved her first day! We got her a Minnie Mouse backpack for her birthday and she was so excited to wear it to school. Now I have both of my kids in preschool 3 days a week.... Now what am I gonna do with myself??

This is what we do!

What do you do when its a rainy day??  Skye and Bree eat cucumbers and watch Pete's Dragon!  I love watching movies with my kids that I grew up watching.  Petes Dragon is a classic!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Long Post...Please read!

This week was probably the longest/most emotional week of my life..... Here it goes--- I went in Monday afternoon for my very first doctor appointment and was excited to be able to hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time. Everything was checking out just fine but the doctor was unable to find the heartbeat. This was pretty normal though because I have a tilted uterus which makes it really hard to find the heartbeat. Luckily there was an opening for an ultrasound right then and there which was awesome because not only was I gonna hear the heatbeat I was gonna see my little peanut....Score!  Jared was sitting beside me watching the ultrasound tech do her thing while I looking at the screen waiting to see our baby. I could not see a tiny baby or any kind of growing peanut anywhere. (freaking out a little) Then the ultrasound tech asked how many weeks I was and I told her 10 weeks and 4 days. The tech said the sac is only measuring at 6 weeks.  So, she goes and gets the doctor and he said that a couple things could be happening. First thing is that I could be off on my dates and really only be 6 weeks along.... Or I could be miscarrying. The only way to know for sure is to get blood drawn to test my hormone levels.  They would call me Tues with the results.  After a sleepless monday night I get a call from the doctor himself (not good) tues afternoon telling me that my hormones levels did not indicate that I was misscarrying.... In fact my hormone level was WAY TOO HIGH!  To carry a normal healthy pregnancy your hormone level needs to be between 4,000 and 6,000. Mine was at 50,0000! He said from the looks of my super high hormone level and reviewing my ultrasound pics he believes that I am pregnant with a MOLAR PREGNANCY.  Which means: This is a abnormal pregnancy where the baby did not form at all but the placenta and uterus is still growing like it is pregnant.... (your body has pregnancy symptoms) The egg and sperm just did not connect the way they should have basically. He then said that my body will not try to eject the baby because it wasn't a misscarriage because everything is still growing like it should but with no baby inside which is very bad for me. I guess if you let it grow bigger it could turn into a tumor (cancer). The doctor told us to meet him Wed to do another hormone level test and to discuss what we needed to do from there. He told us that he wanted to do surgery to get all the tissue cleaned out of me asap so it didn't turn into more growths which could turn turmorous. The doctor also told us since this is a Molar pregnancy I have to be monitered and have hormone tests done monthly for a whole year to make sure those growths do not come back because they could turn into turmors and my odds of having another Molar pregnancy doubles. Jared and I are also not allowed to get pregnant for a year and have to be on birth control. So it's very important we do everything the doctor says. Anyway,  he scheduled me for a D and C for this morning at 10 am. It's a surgery that takes out all the tissue and placenta thats still growing. They put me under so I don't remember anything and didn't feel anything.  Jared said the doctor came in and talked to him and told him that he got everything out and everything was looking good. I woke up today from surgery at 11:30 am and it hit me that I was no longer pregnant. I am now home recovering and feeling pretty good considering I just had surgery. I'm sorry this is such a long/depressing post but I needed to write it down and let friends and family know whats going on. Jared and I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Even though we don't get our baby in July like we hoped we do know that Heavenly Father has a different plan for us right now and we will follow his plan because he is our Father in Heaven and he knows whats best for us. I don't know why this happened but one day we will and I feel so much comfort from that.  I know one day Heavenly Father will send us another precious baby when he feels its time.... And Jared and I will be ready! So, I want everyone to be happy and don't feel sad for us because we really are ok and feel at peace with this. We want you all to have the best Christmas and give your kids hugs and kisses because they really are miracles! I have 2 of the most beautiful miracles and I am so happy my Heavenly Father sent them to me. We love you all......

Love,
