Halloween 2012

Tayeshun was a skeleton

Along with Driver, Mommy and baby sister!

Dekon was supposed to be Hulk Hogan but he decided to cut his hair so we went with Darth Vader

Cooper is second to the right, he went as a knight.

We went to the annual carnival in New Providence again this year.

Then we did a little trick or treating in Eldora and New Providence. This was our New Providence group. Whitney and kids showed up while we were getting all dressed up!

Went to the Dr. yesterday for a routine check and was told I needed to have another ultra sound. They didn't get a very good look at her heart and since I live in a small community, they want to doubt check everything. I'm not too concerned because the ultra sound was really dark and she was having some problems. (But there is a part of me that is worried, that's what we do right?)
So I go tomorrow and I will be sure to have a full bladder so there is no problems getting the pictures they need! I am worried because my Husband doesn't know if he can get off work on such a short notice and I will have to take my 20 month old.

#5

She has Cooper's nose so far, Daddy says it's like mine too.

I had an ultrasound yesterday. I didn't want to find out what it is but SO did, so he found out. I couldn't take it anymore after about 15 minutes. I think I just didn't want the ultrasound tech to tell me, I wanted SO to do it. So after the appointment we ran to Walmart, he went in without me and came out with a gift bag. There was TONS of tissue paper and then a little PINK outfit and some shoes! I'M HAVING A GIRL! I started to bawl, I have always wanted a girl but have 4 boys, I don't know what to do with a girl!?! I am so excited!

This is the outfit from Daddy!

Adorable Tutu made by my good friend Whitney Faris!

Life right now

Well Baby is the size of an onion! I am always tired and craving chocolate.

My days are entertained by this 19 month old! He loves to play music on this Christmas decoration (which he broke!) We watch and dance to Mickey Mouse Club House and say "oh toodles". He cries everytime Daddy goes back to work and is SUPER excited when he comes home.

Fridays we to hang out with Dekon too! Dekon doesn't understand why he doesn't go to school on Friday when Cooper and Taye do, he quickly gets over it when he gets to watch cartoons.

And Saturdays I get to freeze my butt off at the practice field in Eldora for flag football. Taye LOVES to play and is actually pretty good. It is so much fun to watch him. This is Cooper's first year out and last weekend he actually carried the ball for a few yards! Cooper is going to be built like a line backer and Taye has running back down! I can't wait for them to get older and watch them play sports.

7!?!

Cooper Addison Gardner turns 7 today!

I cried so much last night thinking about everything I went through to have this kid! I ended up getting toxemia, dehydrated and put in the hospital, being sent to Des Moines because I was putting on so much water weight, gaining 10 lbs while sleeping, having the baby, baby ended up in the NICU because he wasn't eating and then being put back in the hospital after being realeased because I couldn't breath. I ended up having fluid around my heart and lungs, so I was put in a padded bed (in case of seizures) and didn't get to go home and see Taye or even get to go see Cooper in the NICU because I wasn't allowed out of bed!

Again?????

So this isn't public knowledge but I'm not sure anyone reads this anyway so I am going to tell ~~ALL~~ my readers. As of today I am 12 weeks and 4 days pregnant! Yes, we are having #5! We got to see the baby weeks ago, we weren't sure how far along I was (I wasn't keeping track as we weren't "trying") I was only 5 weeks and 6 days then. At my last doctors appointment we got to hear little ones heartbeat! We keep telling the boys not to get their hopes up on it being a girl, we don't have much luck. This pregnancy has gone totally different, I am usually hot, but this time around I am sitting in the house in a sweatshirt!?? IT'S SUMMER!

More to come later
