30 Years

Sunday, I turned 30 years old. I don't really feel any older but is was a wonderful day. Eric made me sweet rolls and I was able to cuddle with each of our kids individually. Hyrum is a lot easier to cuddle with. At church Eric was so sweet and took care of Mackenzie and her unwillingness to sit still, for fear of falling asleep. I was able to listen to the Gee Family and also spend some quality time with Hyrum. We had dinner with my parents and it was so sweet the way Mackenzie kept singing happy birthday to Mommy. Of course that song was quickly replaced yesterday with twinkle, twinkle. I am just so grateful to be here and to have accomplished all that I have in 30 years. I know that everything I have accomplished is due to the Lord. I am looking forward to at least 30 more years and more children and excitement. I would like to say thank you to everyone who has been apart of my 30 years so far. You all have made it worth it!

Ticking Time Bomb

So, Hyrum's due date has come and gone and he is still nice and comfortable in mommy's tummy. Needless to say he is the only one. I am so ready for this baby to be born. Mackenzie keeps telling him, along with Eric, it is time to come out. Although I think she will miss the built in seat that is mommy's tummy. We have had to rearrange his clothes a little because there is no way he is going to fit any newborn clothes. Also I have been trying to walk as much as I can. Sunday evening/ Monday morning we went into the hospital with contractions and pelvic pain but I was not dilated enough to stay. I had finally had it and just cried. I felt like such a failure but my nurse was amazing and helped me to see that he will eventually come. He have an eviction date of November 7th. So right now he can come on his terms or on the doctors. They did give me some pain medicine which help me sleep, all day. But is was very much needed. As we were driving back home Eric told me that while my prayer of Hyrum coming has not been answered yet, his of me being able to relax and rest did. So if anything our crazy midnight ride to St. Mark's on all Hallows Eve was worth it.
