Relief Society Birthday!

We celebrated our Relief Society Birthday this evening.  It was good fun!  Different dances were presented from Samoa, to Tonga, Tahiti and Hawaii.   Some of the Young Women and Serena Tuliloa did an aerobics number while the priesthood (the Midgets Can) did the "HAKA" and another fun number.  The bishopric then did a Fijian dance.    We had great food and wholesome entertainment!   Aunty Raine was so kind and taught our yoga class so I was able to see all the performances.  Thanks Aunty!  

The Gooey Babes helped in the nursery.  The King helped with the sound system and  set up some of the banners that needed to be put up.  He is the cable guy with the cable and tall ladder which came in handy.    The Relief Society presidency and the enrichment committee did an awesome job.  All the performers did a great job!  I had fun watching and eating!  =)  Great party!

I forgot...at the very end we did the electric slide and the macarena.  It was so funny to see all the ladies do it.  The young and the old, big and small, preggy and not preggy.  You can tell who the party animals were in their younger days... their inner self were  let loose.    That was fun.  

Home at last and now my belly is super tight.  Too much dancing for one night.

32 weeks and 5 days

I went to my check up today. I weighed in at 133 lbs. I was happy about that. Before my appointment I had to go and get my blood drawn at the hospital. The lab technician had steady hands...he only poked me a little bit and out came the blood. (This was the same technician that had to poke me twice and started drawing the blood when the needle was not even in the vein). I think I just made him nervous back then. This time around I kept my mouth shut and prayed for him to poke my vein the first try. It was a success.

Well, the sound doppler thing to listen for baby's heartbeat was not available but she had one of those handheld ultrasound monitor. We were able to see Warrior 4 and his heart beating. The doctor made me kind of worried when she mentioned that Warrior 4 is still BREACHED. Then C-SECTION was all that came to my mind. Hellow! She then tried to make me feel better by saying that she and Dr. Chapman helped another woman turn her baby at 38 weeks and that I still had plenty of time. "Don't scare me like that, Lady Doctor!"

She continued to say if I had decided on sterilization. I asked her about the new procedure called ESSURE and she said that it was pretty safe but suggested that I do the tubal ligation right after delivery since I'm already at the hospital and blah blah blah. I quickly responded "But I've NEVER HAD AN EPIDURAL!" She answered..."Oh, then it's not a good reason to just get one. (the epidural) Well, you still have time to decide what procedure you want done." That conversation ended right there.

My next appointment is in two weeks.

***The result of the blood test is okay. A little low compared to the last which was a little high. I don't know if that's accurate because I was talking to the receptionist. I have to double check and ask doctor on my next appointment.

"Hurry, Miss! Take the picture! I need to go pee!" =) Just a couple of goofy shots this week.

Funny

After taking a shower last night, Warrior 3 was thrilled to tell me something as he was getting dressed.

Warrior 3:  Mom!  Look I still fit my training underwear!  I grew and it grew with me!  That's cool.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Well, we are having something green after all. It was so kind of Aunty Amie to drop off some yummy-liscious shoogah cookies for us. She caught me and the King off guard. It was past 9 o'clock when she came. We were watching 24 and we heared a knock on the door! Oh, hello!

Thanks, Aunty Amie! The kids are all in bed. So, I will definitely have one or two or three of these cookies. =)

FYI:  it is Wednesday..I had a total of 5 maybe 6 cookies. =)  who's counting?  yum!

30 weeks and 5 days Check-up

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Well, I didn't cook anything green for my family today. I just reminded them to wear green! I asked them if they are sad that mommy didn't make anything green for them and they were like..."Fffff! Why would we?"

Anyway, I went to my 30 weeks check up today (30 weeks and 5 days) and I gained 6 pounds in 3 weeks. Too much sweets in my diet. I know. I really need to eat better. I fear that Warrior 4 is going to be a big baby and to my relief Dr. Chapman said that baby is about 4 and 1/2 lbs. right now. Fundal height is about 26-28 centimeters. That is good since the fundal height should closely match the number of weeks that I'm pregnant.

However..I need to do another blood test. Dr. Chapman said that when I took the GLUCOSE TOLERANCE TEST....I passed that...but because of the high count on the white blood cells April (the P.A.) suggested that I do a urine culture (suspecting that it was an infection) which I passed by the way. So, when I saw Dr. Chapman today she suggested that I do another blood test in 2 weeks. She said that the cells called METAMYELOCYTES (which were present in my previous blood test) are usually seen in patients with cancer. Helllurh! Can I just freak out right there? No, I was just calm. I figured ....I don't know for sure what it is yet so why stress right?

I will start seeing the doctor more often now. Every two weeks! yey!

30 weeks

It's already Friday, 12:13 am. I am still awake (obviously). I can't sleep with all the excitement going on . The King is so tired... he is snoring big time! Warrior 4 is doing somersaults in my womb. He is slowly squirming and is hiccuping which feels like another heart throbbing in my belly. I am glad there is movement in there though.

Well, I tried to go to sleep but I figured instead of wasting my time tossing and turning I thought I would jot down what the King and Warrior 4 were doing that's preventing me from going to sleep. Now, that I am out here in the living room, Warrior 4 decides to calm himself down. hellurh!

Well, I'm 30 weeks preggy. Warrior 4 is about 15 inches long and weighs about 3 lbs (head of 1 cabbage). I got a sample of a newborn diaper from the mail yesterday and they were so small and cute. When Warrior 1 was born the newborn diapers were too big for him...since he was only 4 and a half pounds. I had forgotten how tiny newborn diapers looked.

Anyway...10 weeks to go. I am getting excited, scared, anxious, blessed, and a whole other mishmash of emotions. Anyway, that is all for now. I need to go back and finish a couple of posts that I started and never finished.

goo'nite

Warrior 3 says....

THANK YOU GRAMMA AND GRAMPA!

Thank you Warrior 1,2 and Princess for singing to me and helping make my cake.

THANK YOU DADDY!

XOXO,

WARRIOR 3

Daddy is Home!

It was getting late....we ate dinner without the King.  It was past 8 pm and Warrior 3 is wondering when the King was going to come home.  He asks...

Warrior 3:  You think Daddy is  buying my presents?

Me:  I don't know.  All I know is Daddy had a meeting to go to tonight so don't count on it if he doesn't have any presents for you.    

Warrior 3:  I think he is getting my presents.

Well, 8:30 came.  We didn't know what time the King was going to make it home, so we just sang him happy birthday with out the King.  We had cake and ice cream.

Well, 8:45 pm the King comes home.  Warrior 3 is brushing his teeth and then the king tells him to clean the package/rubbish  from our room.   We hear his excitement!  "Ooooo!  Legos!"  Comes running out to show us  his new LEGO Racers and gives Daddy a hug.

Check out his big smile!  The King sends him  to get ready for bed.  So, they go and brush their teeth.  Warrior 3 goes in his room to use his towel after brushing and he finds another present. " OOOOO!  Another one!"

Say prayer...give hugs...good night.  Warrior 3 goes to bed and guess what he finds on his bed.  The final gift!  Another Bionicle!    

Thank you, Daddy!  

The King sure does know how to make someone's day special.

What a day for Warrior 3!  Turned out to be  a great birthday after all.  Happy 7th Birthday Warrior 3.  Be a good boy and remember to do what is right.  We love you!

Happy Birthday Warrior 3!!!

Good morning!  Happy Birthday Warrior 3!

Ate breakfast, we said our morning prayers and then parted for school.  As I was backing out of the driveway..Warrior 3 signaled me and asked... (Warrior 2 and 3 walks to school)

Warrior 3:  Mom!  What are you bringing for my class today?

Me:   I don't know....I'll think of something.  bye!

After work all I could come up with was to go to the store and buy something already made.   I didn't have time to bake anything homemade.  So, a box of mini fruit roll-ups was it.  I was able to catch Warrior 3 at the Cafe eating lunch and he was happy to have something to hand out to his classmates.  Kids are so easy to please.  Thank goodness.  

The two younger Warriors get home first.

Warrior 3:  Mom, did you get me any presents?

Me:  No, you'll get it on your birthday party.

Warrior 3:  oh, okay.

I'm terrible at these things.  I need to be better.

I'm in the room...I hear a knock on the door...the warriors open the door...Warrior 3 comes running in the room.   "Mom!  I got a package from Gramma and Grampa!  Can I open it?"

He shakes the box and tells me and Warrior 2,  "I think I hear LEGOS in here.  Listen!"

ooooooooooooo!  A BIONICLE!  I see it!  It's a BIONICLE!

Thank YOU  Gramma and Grampa!

You made his day!  Check out his big smile when he saw LEGO!
