Hey,
So we decided it was time to head up to Olathe, Kansas to celebrate our niece Addie's first birthday. I can't believe that she is turning a year old already. I remember when I got the text on my phone saying that Natalie was in labor. Then recieving a text saying that Addie was born. Who am I kidding, I remember recieving text messages saying that Natalie was pregnant then myself finding out that I was pregnant a month later. It's been nice to have a sister-in-law who was pregnant with a little girl at the same time as myself. I was really lucky to have not just one but two sister-in-laws pregnant at the same time. My first niece was born in October and then it was Addie in February. Then Ginny came in Apirl. It's been fun to have the girls so close in age. Ginny is still not so sure about her cousins especially Addie as we see her more.
Anyways, so we rushed up to Olathe to go to Addie's birthday party and say goodbye to Jimmy for awhile. Addie was actually pretty good at going over her giant cupcake. Ginny, loved eating her mini cupcake that I let her have. It was nice to talk to family and watch the girls simi interact with each other. Addie kept taking Ginny's toy and running away and Ginny would look at me. I was so tempted to say to Addie, just you wait Addie. Ginny will be walking soon and would be going after her toys.
We didn't stay very long up in Olathe but it was a nice break from here. Oh did I mention that Ginny is crawling offical now. Also she is now pulling herself on things so nothing is safe. Not even the cork of the coasters. It resulted in a Poison control call.

By the way...cork is not toxic.

Graduating Soon in May 2013
Hey,
So it's pretty much offical now that I will be graduating in a year. That is if I pass my classes and my huge test to get my teaching license. But, we are going to think positive and say that I will graduate in May 2013. So you better keep your calender's free then. I can say it's so exciting to be able to see the end is that near. I am super excited.
Anyways, classes are going really well. I am really enjoying my block 1 classes. I love two of the three teachers. I haven't really seen much of the other teacher to base my reaction off of her. But the two guys are really nice. Then we have my lovely, literature class that I am taking this semister on top of that. Can I say that I love it. It's a literature class just about young adult books. So far it's pretty easy class and the professor has a love for young adult books which helps by far. Also I have a few of my block 1 classmates in that class as well.
So, some things about the block 1 classes is that we get to teach lessons to kids. Also another would be that we are with the same classmates till we graduate pretty much. Which I finally opened up and meet a couple of them. Two of them know my sister-in-law. Actually they graduated with her. Which can I say is totally cool. Anyways, this coming Tuesday, I get to teach to preschool about rockets. My group is going to be super heros. I still need to come up with a name for myself. I'll have to ask my brother-in-laws.
It was such a relief on Wednesday to find out that I passed my cursive handwriting test. Last semister I had to appeal a board for the chance to stay in block 1 and finish the two test that I couldn't pass, which were Spelling and Cursive handwriting. On Tuesday, I took my spelling test for the eleventh time and finally passed. I swear I almost screamed for joy. Then Wednesday morning I found out that I also passed my cursive just under the wire. So I was finally able to feel like I was going to stay in block 1.
Well...I better get some sleep as I have a little girl who is teething and in a lot of pain.

My Late Night Thoughts
Hey,
So I thought it would be hard when more of my friends get pregnant. It is hard because I loved being pregnant. I also love being a mom don't get me wrong. But it doesn't hurt as much as I thought. Stephen and I are planning for more children in the future. Sometime when I am done with college and perhaps finished my first year of teaching we will try again. But right now we are a wonderful family of three. A little known fact is before I got pregnant with the surpise of a lifetime. I knew that we were suppose to be parents while I was in school. We did everything we could to prevent it to happen. But we always said, that if I do get pregnant while in school then it was meant to be. Ginny was meant to be in our lives now.
I was so lucky to have such a wonderful pregnancy. I didn't have morning sickness and never was dizzy. I was just super tired all the time. Which I often took care of with a nice long nap during the day. But it was a wonderful pregnancy. I found out on my brother's birthday August 29th, 2010. That I was pregnant and Stephen was the one who told me. On the twenty-fourth of December, we found out that I was right in the guessing that i was having a girl. Everyone thought it was going to be a boy. Stephen was able to feel her for the first time on Christmas eve. She kicked him in the face. Then on Apirl 7th, 2011, just short of being a month left till my due date. I went to a normal doctors appointment and found out that my blood pressure was extremely high and I had protein in my urine. My doctor then waited till it was near the end of the visit to check my blood pressure again. It went down but not enough that she wasn't worried. Oh, I was already at a 4cm. (all the walking I tell ya). We were sent to labor and delivery to be monitored. The doctor said that if my blood pressure didn't go down then we would deliver. If it went down while there then I would be sent home on bed rest. I knew there was an unlikely chance I would be making finals that semister. My mom came down that friday and took care of me on Saturday while my husband was at work. We bought a blood pressure cuff (which I recommend to anyone who is pregnant) to watch my blood pressure. I checked it every hour and wrote on a piece of paper my blood pressure and the time.
Then on Sunday, we noticed that my blood pressure was staying high. It was around lunch time and I was really wanting my favorite meal that my mom was making before I gave birth. I layed down because I was slightly dizzy while lunch was finished. I ate three huge helpings of the food (which I later decided was not good). Then we left for the hospital. I showed them my blood pressure and sure enough I had even more protein in my urine and blood pressure was worrisome.
They took blood and found out that my organs were being shut down because of an enzyme that comes out when you get preecampsya. My doctor which was on call that weekend said that it was time to have my daughter. I was so excited to have her natural way and everything. I was prepped. They started me with pitson. I had a ton of contractions that were quite large. I felt not one of them except a small tightness. At 8:00pm, the doctor came in and broke my water (which is by far the oddest thing ever) then things got a bit more relaxed. I was moving along really well and still was not feeling the contractions. Midnight came and that's when the contractions hit. They were nice and intense and I was sure that I was closer then I thought. I finally, decided to get the pain meds and it felt great.
At seven in the morning the doctor came in and said that it was time to do a c-section. I stalled at a six which was only two from when I started from. I cried and cried hearing that. I got prepped for surgery and went in. Stephen came with me. At 8:08am on April 11th, 2011. I had my beautiful little girl.
Do I regret the things I went through, no. My daughter is perfect. So for those who are pregnant now. Don't let things worry you. Don't have this perfect birthing experience in your mind, because it doesn't happen perfect. In the end it doesn't matter.

A Quick Post
Hey,
I can't believe how quickly this semister has been going. It seems though that I am not smart person and have a chance on being forced to change my major. That is a whole bunch of fun. It really pains me to think that I might never be able to become an elementary teacher. Anyways, next week is finals week and it's a bit stressful. Our house has seen better days. But it will be cleaned and organized over winter break while Stephen is at work.
Ginny keeps me on my toes though she's still not crawling. I can't believe my baby is turning eight months in two days. I am just waiting for the moment where she suddenly takes off on the floor and me screaming in delight. She's a funny girl though. She sings a lot now and sometimes she will sing herself to sleep especially if we are in the car. It makes me laugh when she's singing away and then their is sudden silence.
Stephen's doing good. His job is a bit hectic since it's after thanksgiving but we make it work. At times he comes home very tired and just wants to relax. Things will be easier for him once the Christmas season is over.
Well, I better finish getting ready for school. I'll update more later and maybe have some pictures.

Update
Hey,
I have a few moments to type this so I thought I should give a little bit of an update on our lives.
I am entering finals week with full speed. I have to pass a couple more tests to get into block one. So I need all the prayers that I can get at this point in time. But things are going well. School is going good, just stresses me out for awhile. But it's been going good. I do have two blogs that I try to keep up with but...right now schools important as well as Ginny.
Ginny is now seven months old and I am sure now over fifteen pounds. She loves to eat and is now starting eating meats. She has two teeth now both on the bottom. We only had two bad days of teething. But she's doing good. She does say, "Dada" and "Mama" but she doesn't direct it towards anything. At times we think she is saying Dada to Stephen but we are not sure. She really good at sitting up by herself and is getting the hang of standing holding on things. She still wobbling though. She's not crawling yet which I can't wait to see her do.
Stephen is still working hard at walmart. He's keeping busy with that and coming home to us.
That's it,
