"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

35 Weeks...

35 weeks down! I cant believe in just a little over a week now i will be "full term" and our little one could come at anytime! I really hope he fallows kiptin and comes at 38 weeks but I also dont want to "make" him come out, i really just want it to go smooth like kiptins was and when he is ready he will come. Having kiptin was so easy and relaxed and it was just nice. So when ever this little one is ready so are we, if it come to the point i have to be induced then so be it but as of right now I am shooting for him just coming on his own terms.
We think we finally are set on his name MAYBE...you never know i change my mind all the time, but i love the fact that nick came up with the name on his own and its special to me that he had a part in it and this time it was his idea not mine like the other two! im not spilling the beans yet though in case i change my mind ;)
Kiptin really is the one that made us pretty much settle on our name cause out of the blue his just said the name and it seriously melted our hearts and it sounded so cute that we just said maybe thats what it should be, because we have not told kiptin that name Iam still not sure where he herd it maybe he just over herd us talking about it one day.
I have for sure "popped" out now the past two weeks have really been harder on me, the simple little things like bending over, sitting up, getting up off the ground etc have really been more challenging, i get super tiered really easy and i can just tell and feel how hard my body is working. Iam so thankful for nick, he has really been a huge help, he wakes up with kaylin every morning and gets him fed and ready for school and drives him to school, just doing that has helped a lot. when i dont get the house clean he doesnt complain and if i dont want to make dinner he just helps grab the boys something. He has helped get all the baby stuff ready and done in the nursery and its so nice to see a room pretty much complete now!
Iam so lucky to have him, i do take him for granted more then i should im sure, but what an AMAZING dad he is, our boys are seriously the luckiest to have such a great dad!! and im the luckiest to have such a great husband who stand by me and care's for me even when im a brat to him :)

At my doc apt on Tuesday everything still looked good until i got a call on wends from my doctors nurse letting me know the results of my blood test...she said my blood platelets had fallen even lower and that they will check me again in a week, and to just know that if they fall to 70 that I will not be able to get an epidural and that i would have to go natural due to the platelets being low, they are what makes your blood clot, im 30 below the normal which is 150 and she then said that they is no way they will raise in that short amount of time but they will/could continue to drop so they will just watch them to make sure they stay above 100.
We cant wait to meet this little one, life will forever be changed but in such a good way!

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
