Swimming Lessons

The last two weeks I have been taking my daughter and a girl I watch to swimming lessons. Last Friday was the Last day, Yay!


You can't tell but she was sticking her tongue out =)

Back home we go!

So off we go back to Mission this weekend.......My major reason for going home is my cousin Jessica is coming back from San Diego, I haven't seen her in Years! When we were younger we were pretty much inseparable and now well we rarely get the chance to talk what with our busy lives and all. Then I found out that this weekend is Good Ol' Days.

I am a little anxious? maybe? I am looking forward to seeing people that I went to High School with, many of them I haven't seen since the day we were handed our diplomas. And well I wasn't the most Social person during High School, Especially my Senior year. I was told I had a "better than everyone attitude" when really it was "sick of school" attitude....I was ready to be done. Be done with the school I had went to, done with the town I grew up in, done with everything and I was ready to move on to bigger and better things.....So Maybe I did think I was better than everyone? who knows, But honestly I was just itching to get out! and now more than anything I wish I could go back to that area and raise our kids, unfortunately the economy there just wouldn't make it feasible to move home, maybe someday when we are a little more financially secure.

But I am sure the kids will enjoy the parade, especially the candy that will be thrown their way....and will like the dog races(if they have those anymore?) and all the other festivities that occur down in Rod's field......I will post pictures as soon as we get home from our excursion!

Now you see me now you dont!

SO.......something interesting. The doctor finally got back to me about my ultrasound, he said he believes this to be a case of "vanishing twins"

Its a fairly common occurence where one of the twins "disappears" and the tissue is either re-absorbed into the uterus or by the other twin.

I looked up some information on the twins and come to find out 75% of people were a twin, whether they knew it or not. Thats a pretty high percentage. Well anyways just thought I would share that with you all.

Two be? or not two be?

Ok So Here's the update everyone is probably after.

Went in today for an ultrasound to see if I was really truly having twins.

Only one baby was seen! however the way the placenta was and the umbilical cord it showed 2 pockets so to say, but there was only one baby in one of the pockets? who knows whats in the other one? maybe its an alien =)

Well anyways I am very relieved to find that I am only expecting one bundle of joy rather than two!

My due date has been moved from Jan 24th to Jan 17th

Long overdue Birthday pictures

Ok here are some pictures of Kieona, Zaiden, and Cousin Vari's combined birthday party!

Hear All About It!!!!!!!

Ok so I know its been quite awhile since I have posted anything, and I also know that I have promised pictures! but well I have been feeling like crap lately.

In my last two pregnancies I boasted the fact that I couldn't tell I was pregnant other than the protruding belly and soccer player inside my belly. Well it must of all caught back up with me because the last few weeks I have never been sicker, I haven't been able to keep much down, and I have lost 12 pounds which is great if I were on a diet!

Now the news of the day is that I went to my midwife this evening and I was talking to her and she thinks that a possibility of me being so sick could be twins, plus my uterus is up further suggesting that I am either further along(which I'm not) or that it is larger to hold another fetus. Yikes! Just thought I'd let you all know! and I promise pictures will be coming, my computer hasn't been agreeing with me much
