news on being to big

Today we went and got the ultrasound to see why I am too big. It didn't go quite as I had hoped. I do have to much fluid and her abdomen is larger than it is suppose to be. The doctor that came in to talk to us about this told me that he thinks that I might have gestational diabetes. I already tested for it and my doctor told me that I wasn't even close to having it. So I am a little confused. I have to take the test again but the test is a little more elaborate this time. The doctor said that because there is so much fluid the uterus thinks that I am farther along than I really am so I could go into labor early. The Doctor that talked with us just pretty much told me all the bad things and all the bad things that could happen but didn't tell me anything good and didn't tell me anything that would answer any of the questions that I might have to make me feel at least a little better about the whole thing.

On a lighter note we did get some really good pictures of her. They did a 3D ultrasound for us and it turned out so good. It was really fun to get an idea as to what she might look like. I think that she has my nose and the rest is really a toss up. What do you think?

The top picture you can really see her face, the second picture shows her with a little grin. I am a little partial but I think she is super cute!

The room and Too BIG??

Jaden and I finally got some of Kysa's room done. I was so excited about it. We painted her room a very light green color. We put her crib together to find out that we were missing a piece. I was a little saddened by that. We ordered the piece so hopefully it will be here soon. We got these box things that we are using for her dresser. It was much cheaper than buying a dresser and we really can't afford that. But this works just fine for us. I haven't had a chance to hang anything on the walls but it is coming along slowly.

My master painter. He did so good. He only got a little on the floor and futon. lol!

The crib with no mattress but has the bedding in it. Hee hee! 

The Curtins, and the makeshift dresser. 

Here is my 7 month picture. I'm getting bigger by the day. I went to the doctor yesterday and she told me that I am measuring about 3 cm over what I should be. So I have to go get another ultrasound next Tuesday to make sure that everything is ok. No wonder everyone keeps asking me if I am due like tomorrow. I guess I grew like 4 cm in 2 weeks and that isn't normal and I am to big for as far along as I am. This really stressed me out, so bad that I didn't really sleep last night. I am just worried for Kysa. I just want everything to be fine. I had Jaden get up at like 6 to give me a blessing, he was getting up anyways to go to work. In the blessing it said that everything would be fine. That made me feel so much better. As soon as I got back in bed I went right to sleep. I should have had him give it to me at 3 when I was wide awake and wishing for sleep. I am putting it in the Lord's hands now. I know that everything will be fine. He told me so himself! 

The Jazz and snowcats!

So if you recall on the 12th day of Christmas our not so secret friends gave us 2 tickets to the Jazz game. So last Wednesday we went to the game. They were playing the New Orleans Hornets, so the game had a special meaning for us. We had really good seats and it was my first basketball game so it was a blast. Jaden's brother Jesse was there so during half time we met up with him. It was a lot of fun. 

The game from our seats!

Two days ago I got to do two firsts. I got to ride in a semi, and got to ride in a snowcat. Just in case you aren't really sure what a snowcat is, If you ever saw the movie National Treasure, at the beginning when they are going to the boat that is in the snow, the things that they are riding in are snowcats. Here is a picture to give you a better idea. 

This is actually two. The smaller one is in front and the bigger one that we took is in back.

Lindsay, Swayzee, and me in the back of the snowcat.

In case you can't tell by the look on my face I am not looking so happy. Lets just say that it was a little too rough of a ride for someone as pregnant as I am. I was very uncomfortable! All in all though we all had fun and it was something new for both Jaden and I. 

A day to make you reflect

This last Tuesday Jaden and I were sitting at home watching the Hulk when Jaden got a phone call from his mom. Jaden paused the movie and seemed really upset but wasn't saying anything that would give me any ideas about what was going on. When he got off the phone I asked him what that was all about. He then told me that his cousin MeLea's little girl died. I was shocked! Melea has already had a hard life and she is such an amazing person. She is deaf and so is her husband, they have 4 kids, all hearing. 3 little boys and one little girl. 

Shelbi (MeLea's little girl) was 6 years old. She had gotten sick and started throwing up on Monday and Tuesday morning Rian (her dad) was getting ready for work really early in the morning and went in to check on her and she was sitting up in her bed shuffling some papers around. He asked her how she was feeling and she told him a little better. He went to work and when he got home MeLea told him that she was just getting worse. So they took her to the hospital and a little while after she got there she went into a coma. Her heart rate accelerated really fast and then her heart stopped. They tried to do CPR on her but she wouldn't be revived. She died that night and no one really knew what happened to her or why she died. 

They found out yesterday that she had a hernia in her stomach that was releasing poisons into her body and these poisons killed her colon. All these things caused her to have a lot of potassium in her body which caused her heart to race and stop. 

Yesterday they went into her room to get a blanket that was her favorite to put in her casket and while they were in there they found a bunch of letters and pictures she had written and drawn for different people in her family. She wrote her testimony to her parents and drew a picture of her dad baptizing her and on the back a picture of Jesus. Then she drew pictures and wrote little notes to her grandparents, her brother, her 3 best friends, and her little cousin that she was really close to. Her testimony was so amazing especially for a little 6 year old that was only in first grade. To sum it up she said how much she loved her family, how she loved her heavenly father and Jesus so much, she was greatful for her Savior and close with Amen. 

She was an amazing little girl and I think that some one was there to prompt her to do that and help her say her good byes with out really knowing for herself, I am sure, that she was going to die. 

Her funeral was beautiful, and she was a beautiful little girl!  I write this in her memory!

Christmas!

Before I start anything I am sure you want to know the last two days of the 12 days of christmas!

On the 11th day of Christmas our secret friends gave to me some piping hot things to eat and drink.

I don't have a picture of the 12th day and I am so mad at myself for not getting one but this is what it said, On the 12th day of Christmas your not so secret friends gave to me... 10 players and two coaches... 

Jaden's sister and brother in law were standing at our door with an envelope with a red ribbon on it. They gave us the envelope and inside was two tickets to th

e Jazz game 2nd row! They are playing New Orleans so they thought we would really like that game! As soon as I opened the door to them I got all emotional. I really don't think they will ever know how much it meant to us! They are so darn giving!

This year for Christmas we went down to Henderson to spend tim

e with my family for the holiday. I flew down on the 22nd and Jaden came down on the 24th because he had to work Christmas eve. Keisha drove our car down for us and then just dropped the car off to Jaden when he got off his plane. Christmas eve was a lot of fun! we tried out some new traditions and of course kept some of our old ones. My mom wanted us to all bring a tradition from our in laws so I brought from Jaden's family the acting out of the Nativity. Everyone drew parts and then acted it out. It was  a lot of fun!

Christmas morning we got up at like 8 and then made 

and ate breakfast and then opened presents one at a time. It was a lot of fun. I was super glad that we ate before we started though. Austin, Mindy's little one, got sick that morning and was throwing up and stuff. That stunk really bad. We let Austin open his presents and then Jacob took him home. Christmas night we played games and just had  a lot of fun!

Here's some pictures of our fun!
