Sick and Tired

I just thought I would mention that I'm having the worst time of it. My Gallbladder has stones in it and it's giving me a lot of pain. I had a bad attack the other night and since then everytime I eat it hurts. I haven't eaten anything with fat in it and it's still giving me problems. I've been having to take the vicoden the doctor prescribe because of the pain, but the vicoden makes me really sleepy so it's been kind of rough with the baby. I feel like I'm not producing enough milk because eating hurts. I've been drinking quite a bit so I think shes getting enough. Now I'm working on doing a flush which is supposed to get rid of all the stones in your gallbladder and liver. So we're crossing our fingers. If this flush works I won't have to get my gallbladder removed. Ok I'm done complaining

Raegan just had her 2 month check up. She got her first shots and mom had to hide in the corner while dad and the nurse held her down. 5 shots! I couldn't believe it. It was so sad. She looked at me like I had betrayed her and I felt like I had.
Raegan is now 24 and a half inches long and she weighs 11 lbs 12 oz. and is getting chubbier by the minute!





I love bath time!

Raegan got a little confused

Happy Birthday Dad

Keith's Birthday is coming up. We're all pretty excited. He's already told me what he wants. Nothing much, just an X-box 360 with the 2009 John Madden Football game, a GPS, an I pod, and he wants me to make him an extra large quilt. I actually started the quilt, but that was a while ago and I doubt that I will have it done by the 28th. He will probably end up getting a couple of kisses from his girls and maybe some goodies. ha ha

Surprise!

Happenings

I'm sorry Keith and I are so lame. We're not very good at this blog thing and probably never will be so now that you know you won't be disappointed. I'm guessing there is no shock on any ones faces hearing that.
There's not much to report except that we got some family photos taken and will be posting them in the next few days. My brother in law is a photographer in Safford and we're making a trip up there on Monday and will have some good photos of our beautiful baby for everyone to see.
It's a possibility that Keith and I might be moving to Safford depending on the job situation so we'll let everyone know what happens. Safford is about 4 hours Southeast of Wickenburg so that's kind of a bummer, but there is a college there and hopefully good jobs.
Raegan is doing great, she is getting pretty chubby, but I'm not surprised because now that momma is feeling good she is eating everything in sight. I'm going to have to get pregnant again just to keep the weight off. ha ha That was totally a joke, it hasn't been long enough for me to forget how miserable I was for nine months.

Well, it finally happened! We updated our blog. Oh....and we had a baby. Raegan Kathleen was born on Thurs. Dec. 4th, at 9:23 am. She weighed 8 lbs 1 oz. and was 21 in. long. Kaelie started having contractions Monday afternoon. They were painful but not overwhelming until Thursday morning at about 3 o'clock. We left for the hospital at about 5. It's a good thing that Kirsten (Kaelie's sister-in-law) was there, cause I was gonna wait a while longer before leaving and we probably would not have made it. We got to the hospital at six, and a little over three hours later there she was. Kaelie is a little sore but she's moving well and recovering quickly.

Hiking Martinez Creek

Well, I know it's shocking, but were posting more on our blog. We went on a hike with the dogs today and it was great. Lots of bugs though. Keith thought it would be a good idea to get a belly shot for all those who are far away. One more month and I'll have my body back. I'm so excited. Oh and I'm excited to have a baby too.
Just to update everyone on the baby, shes doing great. Her heads down, good heartbeat, and apparently she has long legs. Big surprise.
The doctor says I'm a textbook pregnancy, 34 cm at 34 weeks. He also said we don't have a moose baby, whatever that means. I'm guessing her head isn't huge.
Keith is still working for his uncle and I got a job at the congress school as an aide until the baby is born. It's been really good for me because it keeps my mind off of being sick and I'm walking a lot and that makes me feel better too.

Me at 5 months

Heres Keith trying to help me feel better about my
tummy.

Another month gone by and it doesn't really look like much has change. At my last doctors visit I had lost another 4 lbs. which makes a total of 21 lbs. so far. My doctor doesn't seem concerned and everything is fine with the baby, but I'm not really suppose to lose anymore weight so he told me I need to be "grazing", which i thought was funny, but he said i should eat about 6 times a day. It's been pretty difficult to do because I've been sick and have lost my appetite. The medication I've been taking is helping some, so I'm slowly eating more and more.

On another note, I've quit my job at the saddle shop and so far I'm not sure it was the right thing to have done, but there was a lot of chemicals from dyes and glue going around so I thought it best to get out of there. It wasn't much of a change since I have been too sick to go in anyway, but as soon as I start feeling better I'll be looking for other work.

Keith is still working for his uncle building custom homes. He is also doing work for his dad and trying to get our house finished before the baby gets here. So he's busy busy busy.

It's a Girl!!

Here's our baby girl!! She's moving around a lot
although I still haven't felt anything, but she only weighs 12 oz. in this
picture so I'm not surprised. Also, the doctor said my placenta is right in
the front so I might not feel movement right away.

Our Baby

In case everyone hasn't heard
Keith and I our going to have
our first baby. This ultrasound is from our 4 month check up and Keith insisted on getting a side shot, which isn't very flattering. I personally like the flyswatter in the back ground, but that's just me.














At this Doctors appt. we got to see the arm move around and the fingers open up as if to wave at us, it was so neat. Everything was really clear, but every time he took the picture it came out blurry. I guess our little one is just moving to fast.

Hey everyone, welcome to our blog! We posted some pics so all could see our smiling faces.


Here is one from our wedding reception. In case you weren't there, or don't remember me smearing cake all over Keith's face and tux...hehe! Good times.
The next three are from our honeymoon. It was so great, my wonderful husband took me to Paris and Venice. What a guy! I'm so lucky, and I love him so much. (plus he is super handsome... I mean, just look at him. wow)


Well, we'll put more up soon. Bye.
