Thank You Sooo Much!

To everyone who has brought in meals, cleaned my house, taken my kids, done my laundry, let me cry to them, visited me in the hospital, and prayed for me...I love each of you with all my heart. I feel so much gratitude and love.
My pregnancies are oh so difficult. But my Heavenly Father has been helping me through every day. The power of prayer is so real. And I am so thankful for it in these hard times.
This pregnancy is going better than M's. Which is all I could ask for. I honestly don't know if I could handle that again. Each week got worse with M. It got to the point where I was 35 pounds lighter at several months prego and vomiting 40-50 times just during day light.
My doctor(Dr. Harter) literally an angel here on earth. My hero is what I call him. He had me get a PICC line inserted in my arm that goes to my heart. It has helped so much. And now with fluids I won't damage my kidneys even more. Yeah!!!
My blood vessels and swelling have gone down in my face and eyes. Sorry to all those who saw me look like a monster.
I am actually starting to eat food. Thank the heavens. It had been 3 weeks without eating before my hospital stay. It really is such a blessing. With M I did not eat or drink for 4 months. I am counting my blessings.

I know the first time I was fighting this illness I turned to blogs and forums with people who had it too. When I was well enough to keep my head up and look at the computer.
So if any of you have gone through this or are experiencing this, I would love to chat.
I have reconnected with a friend from my childhood who has gone through this once before and she has helped me just with emails. Thanks friend!
This time around is sooo much better, but I am praying it stays that way. I really don't want to have to be fed through a tube.
So please pray for me and my kiddos.
I know this is hard on them. I feel like my relationship with them suffers so much. And it makes my heart break. But I am trying to be positive.
When you have HG you never think about a baby in you. It never even crosses your mind. You miss out in every joy of pregnancy. You just want it to end. I know that sounds crazy. But it is the truth.
Starting on Monday night my nausea level dropped to about a 4! And it has stayed that way. So far...fingers crossed.
And since the nausea was down I slept through the night, I ate, I held and kissed my kids, and I thought about the little baby in my tummy.
It was a huge blessing.
Please pray for me. I know the power of prayer works and is real. I have felt every single one of your prayers.

M and G thought this was sooo cool!

The BIGGER the Better,

My tummy and family that is.
We are expecting number three!!
I am very excited and a little nervous about getting sick.
I think I am only about 6 weeks.
Which means 7 days until the vomitting starts.
Wish me luck.

M says we are having twins.
And he wants the girl to be named Mark-ella (get it? So clever he is)
He also said he would like the baby in my head instead of my tummy so my head could get fat.
And then he busted up laughing.

Father and Son #2

This was M's second time on the Father and Son's camp out.
D wanted to take G too.
But I said...
"no way dude, one of them will walk right into a fire
while you are chatting away"
I was close.
M came home with a burn across the top of his left hand from his marshmallow roasting stick.
And the right hand had a huge blister on the inside from touching something hot.
Awesome.
I am glad that I was right.
I am always right.(half joking)
Would you let your husbands take a 2 and 4 year old?

M had the time of his life.
Until he started screaming from the burn and D decided to call it a night.
D said he didn't want a hot dog. So 2 apples and marshmallows was dinner.
There was a bear hunt.
And he really hit it off with a pretty little girl named Harper who went.
When M was narrating the pics of his "boys only you're not allowed to come mom" trip,
He said for this pic, "I was trying to talk to them but they weren't listening".
Kind of made me sad.

Can you tell how cool he thinks this special spot for his sippy cup is?

I want to die....

My worst nightmare happened.

Graham was being naughty in sacrament.

I leaned over and stood up to take him out.

That is when I realized my skirt was off.

All the way below my but to be exact.

And of course there were two single men sitting directly behind me,

along with 200 other peeps.(Better than the missionaries I suppose)

G was screaming, so I just grabbed what I could, yanked it up, and got the Hell out of there!

I thought I would start sweating and turn red.

But instead I was calm and just thought, "oh well I just won't ever come back. I am leaving right now and will never be back."

Then I went to the mother's lounge and ignored Graham while he cried flinging his body around the floor for an hour.

I was busy thinking of ways I could disappear.

So to all those who saw my cellulite and crack through my see-through slip,
Please forget it. I would really appreciate it.
-me

I asked D what happened when I left. He said him and the 2 guys laughed for like 5 minutes.

Pleeeeaaase....

It is 1:15am.
And I am awake
My kidneys hurt,
so i can't sleep.
What better to do than blog stalk?
Please stop hurting little 2mm stone.
It is not too much to ask.

In Love

My little sister Ashlee had her second beautiful baby.
I am in love.
Beckett Rico Jensen
and I were meant to be Auntie and Nephew.
She is my little sister,
but I look up to her in so many ways.
One of those being what a wonderful mother she is.
Those lucky kids.
Just look at him...
couldn't you just eat him up?

Random Happenings...

My Beautiful Grandma Barbara had a birthday and it was so fun to celebrate it with her. M and G made the cutest card for her.
I love being with all my cousins and get caught up.
(bragging time)
My grandparents are amazing.
They have always served diligently in the gospel as temple workers, mission presidents,
stake president, and now a patriarch.
My grandma was salutatorian in college.
They are so kind and loving.
I am so lucky they raised my dad
and are my grandparents.

I love M's face while he is break'in it down with his funky moves.
And also Uncle Rico's face behind Grandma...ha ha.

oh my little Grahamers.

i can't get enough of this kid.

he is turning out to be quite the comedian.

his face and body are changing.

makes me sad, makes me smile.

it is so hard to get pictures of him.

he can't sit still for a second.

i am so lucky to have so many wonderful friends in my life.

some I hardly ever see, or even talk to.

but they are still dear friends.

steph, amber, and I took our kiddos to lunch and caught up.

and if you were wondering what my kids were playing with...

it's their "machine".

that is what M wanted for x-mas, so we made one..

the elves that is.

i highly recommend making "junk" like this.

they think it is amazing and all it cost was 2.99 for spray paint.

the diaper boxes, oatmeal can, calculator, and x-mas lights, bowls can be found in the garage.

Easter

We had a wonderful Easter.
The fam came to eat, egg hunt, Easter lesson, color eggs,
and watch conference. It was so fun.
But the most important thing is the Savior.
I am so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ.
The gift of the atonement is the greatest in my life.
In all of our lives.
I am so grateful to feel His spirit, guidance, and love throughout everyday.
I know that everything that I have been blessed with is because of Him.
I am trying to be more like Him.

M decided that since we tried to catch the leprachan on St. Patricks Day that we should try to catch the Easter Bunny. He made this trap all by himself and tested in several times to see if it would work. He quickly realized that the basket was too small. He wanted to go outside and chop wood, get tools from the garage and build a bigger one.

I some how distracted him and got him to settle for this one.

I told him if he worked reeeally hard dying his eggs and make them look awesome then the Easter Bunny would leave him candy.

Notice the lettuce trail. The note we left for him does not make sense, because it is in M's words.

He ran in my room in the morning..."Did we catch him??!!!"

There was a little disappointment, but something about magic..shrinking...next year...it all worked out.

Graham also found the "Golden Egg" that has a whole dollar bill inside. All the kiddos were excited for him.
