Pregnant....

I hate blogging and not posting any pictures.. I rather post pictures to show you what we have been up to rather than write what we have been up to but since I don't really have any pictures I'm going to try to make this short...

Kyle and I are expecting baby # 3 sometime end of April... We are very excited as we are expecting our first little boy! Kyle and I found out that we were expecting sometime end of August and I thought it would be fun not to say anything until we found out the gender... Around my 15 week mark I just had a feeling that we needed to give our parents a clue so a week later Kyle and I thought of a cute idea to announce it... We went out and bought a baby pumpkin (since it was Halloween) and added it to the rest of the pumpkins and took a picture and posted it for friends and family... I was 16 weeks along at the time of announcing we were expecting... One week after announcing we were expecting I got a phone call from my parents stating that my Ahba (grandfather) was passing away. He passed away on Sunday November 7th... We made a quick trip down to California to attend his funeral on Tuesday November 9th we got in super early in the morning. After an hour of sleep I woke up to a gushing of fluids... I woke Kyle up so he could help me and we ended up rushing into the Emergency room around 7 am... The good news was that I WAS NOT miscarrying and that the baby looks to be fine... They just couldn't give us an answer as to where and why I was bleeding... So they told us to stay in California until the bleeding had stopped so after two days of waiting we finally decided to make the long trip back home to Utah... The next day we met up with my doctor so we could get an answer from him and he stated that it looked like the baby was low laying and that was the reason for my problems so again they put me on "bed rest" so the baby could adjust a little higher. A few weeks went by and everything again was looking to be going fine and so I started to do my normal daily things to all of a sudden have another incident... So Kyle and I went in to see the doctors again and they sent me in to labor and delivery so we could see a specialist in their ultrasound department. I was 19 weeks along at this point. They took me in and did a could different ultrasounds to see the baby and see if they could figure out the source of my problems... After the last ultrasound they found the source of the problem... I was diagnosed with a clot close to my cervix. The specialist was concerned of what the clot could do to the baby so again they put me on "bed rest" or limited activity for an entire month until they would see me again on December 20th and then they would be able to determine if they would be preparing us for a premature baby... December 20th came and we went in to do the ultrasounds and the specialist came in very pleased... The fluids around the baby looked to be fine and the growth/development of the baby looks to be fine... The only concern was that I had been bleeding that whole month and the clot was still there... smaller but still there so they have scheduled me to come back end of January to do another check up on the babies fluids and development as well as see if the clot had gotten any smaller or disappeared completely.. So until then I'm still on limited activity...

We are just very grateful and excited to have this little boy join our family...

We also want to send our gratitude to all of our family and friends that came to help, sent meals and prayers our way... We have truly been blessed!! Thank you all again for everything you do to help our little family...
