Updates!

I thought I better finally post a little update on what we've been up to...

The most important thing in our life recently is that we got to see and hear baby #2's heartbeat and everything with baby looks great!
With that said, we actually got to see the baby a little sooner than expected due to some complications. A week before my first doctors appointment I had some bleeding and the doctor sent me in for an ultrasound. Turns out I have a "subchronic hematoma." Technically, a Subchorionic Hematoma is a gathering of blood between the membranes of the placenta and the uterus. The nurses described it to me as basically a tear in the placenta. They put me on 'moderate bedrest' as a precaution and to hopefully let the problem heal itself. I went back a week later for another ultrasound and unfortunately the hematoma is still there and still collecting blood, so for the time being I'm just taking it easy and letting Travis take care of pretty much everything else (I really can't complain, its been pretty nice)! And on the upside this means extra ultrasounds and extra peeks at our little one!
I'm pretty sure I made my family pretty nervous when I told them this, so I just wanted everyone to know it really isn't a huge worry and it isn't affecting baby's growth or well being at all. The miscarriage rates are increased, but only very slightly, and as long as I'm careful it can heal itself by about 20 weeks! And don't worry mom and dad...I promise I'm being careful and Trav is taking great care of me.
Other than that, my life has just been a lot of feeling icky and nauseated, but I guess that is life when you're pregnant! I guess feeling as good as a did with Presley for all my pregnancies would be too much to ask! Thank you so much to family and friends that have been so helpful while I've been feeling crappy! It is nice to know Presley will always be taken care of even when I can't do it!
And I can't end this without praising my wonderful husband for all he has been doing. He has been so great. Between school and work he is somehow taking care of the whole house and Presley and me too. He amazes me!

A Valentine From Presley!

For all you Twighlighters!

I actually haven't succumbed to the whole twilight thing... but I had to post this for all of you who have. Pretty funny!

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2010!

Here's a little peak at how we spent our first day of the new year...


snow, sledding, hot chocolate, & the buckeyes. Good day.

She was having fun sledding, I swear! Just didn't get a picture of the smiles, maybe I'll post video later to prove it.

Long time, no post!

My computer has officially given out on me, and getting a post up here with pictures is pretty much impossible until I get it fixed. So if anyone still looks at my blog...sorry! But I did put some more recent pictures up on facebook, so if you are a grandparent or anyone else looking for a Presley fix...check them out there.

Happy Halloween

Meant to post this on Saturday but of course I forgot! Oh well!

Halloweekend!

We had such a fun-filled Halloween weekend full of friends and family! And let me tell you, this girl loves a party...

We went to our ward party on friday night and Presley was out of control! She couldn't get enough of watching the older kids play and wandering around the gym 'quacking' at the top of her lungs. She put on her own private costume parade around the building and even won herself the best costume for her age group! She ended the night rolling around on the floor laughing!

We spent the rest of friday night working on this little project. I've been wanting to attempt these cake pops ever since Lexi turned me on to them a few months ago. It was one of those projects that didn't go as smoothly as I pictured, but the end result was pretty cute, and very yummy!




Saturday night the Harwoods and Wilders came by for a quick dinner before we headed out to trick-or-treat!




We got Presley in her costume and she was on a mission. 'Candy, here I come!'


Jaxon, Crew, & Presley snuggled up in the wagon to hit the streets!
Pres is a little protective of her candy.

Checking out her stash!


Saying goodnight to the jack-o-lanterns.
