Happy Valentine's Day!

Me and my Valentine of 6 years!!! I love you!!!!!

Me and my perfect Valentines! I love you Cadence and Ainsley!!! Mommy is soooooo lucky to have you both!

Valentine's Day is always a fun day to celebrate all the loves of your life!!! Well this was my first Valentine's Day to celebrate with both of my beautiful daughters.......in the doctor's office. :P All three of us were in the dr.'s office on Monday. Poor Cadence has a nasty cough that just won't go away so she is on breathing treatments. Ainsley has fluid on her lungs so she is on breathing treatments too. Oh and Mommy has bronchitis! When it rains it pours in this house! I am ready for Spring to be here and stay here and stop all this back and forth nonsense. I need well babies not sick ones. We have been going back and forth to the doc this whole last month. It is about to kill me! I just want them better!

Here are some fun pics though of our Valentine's Day dinner at home and opening up our little gifts from one another. :) Hope yall had a great Valentine's Day and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRINITY!!!!

Much Needed Update

Soooo you know you are busy when it has been 3 months since updating my blog! Yes that is right.....I am a mother of 2! Where is there time anymore? :)

Since the last update Cadence is now a big 4 year old! She had a horse themed birthday party and had loads of fun playing with her friends at her birthday party. She got a lot of cool gifts and is truly blessed with all the people in her life that love her. :) Cadence is still measuring in the 95th percentile for her age. Can you say Mommy is going to be the runt of the family? :) She is loving being a big sister to Ainsley and I must say she is amazing at it! She had a great time going to Kerrville and Allen for the holidays and prays every evening to move back to Texas because she misses everyone there and loves them with all of her "heart and sold". HAHAHAHAA! Love that silly girl!!! She is now in preschool and loving it. She goes twice a week to a preschool run by mommys. We all take turns teaching and assisting one another and we rotate homes. There are 8 kids all together and she is having a blast learning and making all sorts of fun little crafts. :) My baby is growing too fast!!! :(

Ainsley is now 6 months, almost 7 months! Man she is growing fast! On January 7th she finally had her first veggie: sweet peas! She is in love with sweet potatoes! She can't open her mouth fast enough for those. Super cute! She started rolling over when we were home in Texas at Mom and Dad's house. Since getting home she has been log rolling everywhere! Can't stop that booger whatsoever! :) One minute I put her down on the floor and the next minute she has rolled all the way to Ryan's ottoman and is chewing on the corner of it. Super funny!!!! She has been put through the ringer lately. She got a mild case of the flu and then turned right around and got a slight ear infection right on top of that. Poor baby! She is better now and sleeping better but we just need the teeth to come through. She did a great job opening presents at Christmas and is loving all her goodies that she got.

Hope all is well with everyone and I will try to be better about posting sooner. Love to all!

Introducing......Ainsley Joy

Here is our newest addition to the family almost 2 months past her arrival. Things have been busy since she came so I am just now getting around to this. Ainsley was born July 7, 2010 at 3:29pm. She was 7 pounds and 19 1/2 inches long. She is growing like a weed each and every day. Cadence loves being a big sister! She can't seem to get enough of Ainsley. Anytime Ainsley wakes up she runs right to her saying "Well hi bright eyes!" It is the sweetest thing a Mommy could ever see. Here are some pics to catch you up on our growing baby girl.

Going in Today!!!!!

We are finally heading in today to start the induction for Ainsley! :) Ryan, Cadence, and I are soooo excited and can't wait to meet her! After the amnio test we found out she wasn't quite ready to come out so she needed a few more days to cook. It was hard news to take emotionally because I was ready to hold her but best for her and all of us. So we are heading in and can't wait!!!!! We will keep everyone posted. Love to all!!!

2 More Days!

Well I am past due on my update. We went to the dr. on Monday for monitoring and to see Dr. Joe. All came out pretty good. My fluid level had dropped to a 9 which wasn't as good as it had been. Carly did the measurements again and got a 10 the second time. So it was somewhere around there. Ainsley was active after Carly shocked my belly with the "baby alarm clock" which just vibrates on my belly to wake her up. After monitoring it was finally off to a room to see Dr. Joe.

He of course was running behind but once he walked in I was having a contraction that was shooting all the way through my back. It was painful but I made it! :) He asked how I was doing so I told him all the symptoms I was having and he said "Well let's check you and see what your cervix is doing and go from there." I was still a 1 and my cervix was "long" according to him. He then proceeded to say that we could induce if I was interested. I jumped all over that! He said he wanted me as close to 38 weeks as possible and then he would feel better about the results of the amnio. So we will go in tomorrow morning for an amnio around 9 to see how she is doing. If all the results come back great then we are heading to the hospital to have our baby girl Saturday morning. Induction will begin at 7am so I am expecting a long day. More than likely they will have to thin out my cervix before getting everything going. We will have to wait and see. We are thinking sometime later in the afternoon or evening we will have a little girl. :)

If I keep feeling the way I am feeling today I will be calling the dr. to go in for monitoring. She has been hurting me through the night with contractions but I didn't want to jump the gun and go to the hospital to pay another lump sum to find it is braxton hicks or something like that. HAHAAA! Oh well! Update will be posted tomorrow after we get the results of the amnio. I get to see my baby one more time in my belly tomorrow before she comes. YIPPEE!

PRAISE THE LORD!

Today's monitoring and dr. appt. went great! Ainsley is head down! Thank you Lord! My fluid level was a little over 14 and I was actually having contractions on the monitor. Man I felt them too! YIKES! Should be interesting! I saw Dr. Rojas and he checked me. I was already dialated a little past a 1 but my cervix is still thick. He is hoping I will continue contracting and that my cervix will dialate more by next Monday. He thinks I might actually go into labor on my own if all goes well. If not we will be inducing sometime early July. Very excited! When he checked me it was the first time he has been able to tell me that he could feel her head. I cried for sure on that one because he hasn't been able to feel her before. She is doing everything she needs to be doing. Now we just need to hold out and see if she wants to come on her own or if we will induce. I am feeling good but I think Zofran will be my friend this evening. :P Kinda having a hard time keeping from feeling sick right now. BLAH! Very tired tonight so I think there will be an early bed time. YIPPEE!!! :) Please keep praying that Ainsley will remain head down and will start working magic down there. Love to all! :)
