.30 weeks pregnant.

I went to the doctor yesterday for just a checkup and they went ahead and did an ultrasound. It went really well. They had to make sure I was not thinning out and that the baby was still okay, especially with the preterm labor, and yes everything is okay. Reagan is weighing in at 3lbs and 6 oz and 15 inches long. She is almost fully grown according to how big my other two were. Ashton weighed in at 5 lbs 15 oz and 17.5 inches long. Kimberlyn was 5lbs 3 oz and 18 inches long. I have only gained 6 lbs on this pregnancy. I am so surprised, I am eating anything and everything. I am also glad that I have not gained a lot, it will make it easier to lose that extra weight. Here is some pictures of little Reagan Jaye.
She did not like the ultrasound tech. waking her up, that's why she is covering her face.
I think that she has my lips and nose. What do you think? She is already so precious. I love her so much already. I have been buying onesis here and there. I am getting so excited to see her in just a few weeks.

.8 months prego and a car too.

I am now 8 months pregnant. Technically a pregnancy is 10 months long, you know the whole 40 week thing. This pregnancy has been much different then the other two. I have now experienced premature labor, and let me tell you it is so not even fun. You worry if you are going to make it or if the baby will make it after she enters this world. I hope not to experience it ever again. I am getting so big, or I should say she is getting so big. I lose my breathe just tying one of my shoes. I feel like I am much bigger with this one than the other ones. When it comes to the nesting mode, I am so not into it yet. I am more tired then anything. Kent found himself a nice car yesterday. It is a little sporty, but it can also hold car seats. I am glad that he will have his own car, so I do not have to go get him at 11 o'clock at night after work. The girls are starting to realize that soon there will be another family member. Ashton understands more than Kimberlyn, but they both know that baby Reagan is in mommy's tummy.
Here are some pictures that you might enjoy..........
I think that this is a good picture of me and Reagan Jaye. (January 2010)
Now compared to the last time I took a pregnancy picture a month ago, I have grown a lot.
I was trying to put my hands together underneath my belly, they do not touch!!!LOL That's how big I really am, or I just have short arms!! LOL
Here is a picture of Kent's car. He really enjoys it so far. I am so happy for him, he deserves one!!!!
Well I hope you enjoyed what you have read and seen. Have a great day!!!!

.Premature Labor.

So it starts out like this. I am 28 weeks along and having contractions. I started having them last night around the time I went to bed, and they did not stop today.
We decided to call my doctor and they told me to go up to the OB department and get checked out. It was a pain to try to find out what to do with the kids. Thankfully we have good friends. One of our friends was happy to take them and really enjoyed them. She said that they were very easy to take care of, she loved watching them and said that she would gladly take them again if needed. She lives one block from us and I am her visiting teacher, we also know her from the singles ward in Snowflake. Anyways, we got to the hospital and the hooked me up to the fetal monitor and an IV. With the IV they had to poke me 3 times before they finally got it to stay. I felt a lot like swiss cheese after wards. LOL!!! They watched me for 5 hours and gave me some medicine to stop the contractions. When we headed up they were 20 minutes apart then when we got there and hooked up they were 3 minutes apart and were really concerned that if they did not stop that they would end up airlifting me to Phoenix to have the baby. I was getting worried. Kent then called his mom and she called his dad. Thankfully he was next door at Wal-Mart getting some stuff, he came over and helped Kent give me a blessing. I am so grateful for the gospel and the priesthood and my hubby. Thank you everyone for your prayers. They released me around 7 p.m. and said that if they continue like they were before to go back up and then they will decided what to do from there. Again, thank-you to all of those who helped and said prayers for us.

.12 weeks to go.

Why do I count down so early? I have no idea why. I have only 12 weeks to go until my due date for Reagan comes. I know that it will come sooner than later, especially how fast the last year has gone. I need to start getting the bag for her ready and a bag for the rest of us as well. Anyone want to watch my kids for me when the time comes? They are really good girls they are not any trouble. I also wanted to thank Mom Palmer for watching our kids that day. They loved it and the cookies were great. Thanks a million. We had a great time being by ourselves. It was weird but great. I am so used to having my kids around so much that when I am gone for more than an hour it seems like I am out of place. I love them so much, they are good girls.
Reagan will be here before we know it. I am so excited, Kent gets to take at least 6 weeks off to help me around the house. Isn't that great??!!!! He also gets paid for those weeks, too. Well I have to go and change a diaper. Thanks and have a great day!!!
