Mother's Day

We had a very nice and relaxing Mother's Day this year. It feels totally official having two kids now. Shawn made blueberry muffins for breakfast and gave me some beautiful flowers! It was a great day! Ü

7 lbs 4 oz & 20 1/2 inches longWe had to be at the hospital at 5:30 am Wednesday morning for my scheduled C-Section at 7:30. I was so excited that I didn't even notice how early it was. We have been planning for this day for so long it felt like it was never going to get here. After getting all checked in and papers filled out my family showed up to wish us good luck. They just had me walk into the surgery room and had me get my epidural. It seemed so crazy to think she would be here in just a few minutes. I didn't even know they had started the C-Section cause my epidural was working pretty good. I asked Shawn what they were doing and he just looked at me confused and said "umm yeah they already started, it's not like they are playing tic tac toe or games on you", Jed the doctor and the others were all laughing. All I could feel was tugging and pressure so I thought they were still just getting things ready. It was a little bit of a harder time for me than the surgery was with Warner cause once her head was out they had to push on the top of my stomach to get her body out and man oh man did that HURT. I thought the doctor was going to break my ribs, I couldn't even breath. I sure wish the epidural would have worked all the way up to my chin. Shawn could tell I was in pain and just kept asking how I was doing. It was pretty quick after that and our cute little baby girl was here. I loved hearing her first little cry. She is our perfect little angel and we couldn't love her more. I was so worried that I wouldn't love her as much as I do Warner but I sure do. How can you love them so much right away. She looks a lot like me but with dark hair and dark eyes. (she also looks a lot like my mother in law and sister in law, it's crazy) I love how soft her skin and hair is. I could just kiss her all the time, and I do. Ü

Easter

Easter was a lot of fun this year living with Jamie and Dave. Warner was so excited when he walked up the stairs and saw his Easter stuff he was shaking his little bum as he ran over to his basket. It's so fun when they understand it a little bit more. He went straight for the cadbury eggs and was shoving the whole thing in his mouth. He was on a sugar high all day! Jamie and I decorated eggs for the kids since Warner doesn't really get that part yet, he just kept yelling "ball" at all the eggs so I knew he would just throw all of them if he touched them. We watched some of conference and then went over to my in-laws house for dinner. They got Warner a cute little bucket with shovels and more candy. It was weird not being with my parents too, but since Easter landed on conference weekend they were down there ushering. It was such a fun day! Ü

Warner's loot

Celee's loot
We went to the twins grave and took them some really cute stuff for Easter.

We took Warner to the park for an Easter egg hunt on Saturday with some of our friends. It lasted about 3 minutes and Warner only got 4 eggs. There were way to many kids there and holy crap was it cold. We decided that next year we will put on our own egg hunt together with just our friends so that the kids will have more time to find more eggs!

Temple

Last Thursday Jamie and Dave were sealed in the Bountiful Temple. It was a big surprise for all their family and friends. They had only told my older brother Bryan and it was his duty to get everyone there. What he told the people that were invited to the sealing was that they were going to do a family temple day. So when everyone arrived and walked into the endowment room they would see Jamie and Dave all in white standing there for the big surprise. It was so funny cause there were other people in the temple that wanted to be in the room at the same time cause they had all heard about the "secret" sealing. They said that it was so special and touching especially when they sealed the twins to their parents There wasn't a dry eye in the room even the people that didn't know them were crying. Everyone kept saying it was the best sealing they had ever been too, I wish we could have been there! I am so proud of Jamie and Dave and I'm so excited that they have been sealed to each other for all eternity! Ü After the Temple we all went to dinner to celebrate.

Digging our lot

So they dug our hole for our foundation last weekend, I am so excited and can't wait to watch it be built! Ü

More bad news...

So we went to my follow up appointment last week and we found out they did get all the Melanoma out of my leg but that the cancer had spread to the Lymph Nodes. They only found a microscopic amount in each of the three nodes they took out but they are concerned that they found it in all three. Shawn and I were in such shock, we couldn't even think of what to say we were holding back the tears until the doctors left. We thought for sure that the cancer hadn't spread so we were very scared. We had my family come over again to give us both blessing to help us through this trying time. I will tell you that it has REALLY helped me not be so worried. I know that things will all be okay in the end but we just have to get through the next couple months and everything will be okay.

What I have to do next is deliver Celee with in the next 3 to 4 weeks. My OBGYN said to me today that we might be able to have my c-section on April 10Th as long as her lungs are good. Which will put me at 37 weeks. So we will monitor her and know more the closer we get to that date. Once I have delivered her they will do a Cat Scan and an MRI to make sure it hasn't spread through out the rest of my body. Then about a week later they will do another surgery to take out the rest of the Lymph Nodes in my groin to make sure they got all of it out of that area. I'm not looking forward to all of the surgery's but I am ready to have this all over with and just get to relax with my cute little family in our new house.

I just want to say thanks to all my family and friends for ALL their support. All of your visits, phone calls and even little text messages help out so much to know that people are thinking and praying for you. I would never be able to get through all of this with out every single person in my life, you all mean the world to me. I know that Shawn and I will live a long happy life together and grow old together! I love you honey and thanks for being my rock through all of this, your strength keeps me going each day! Ü

Bad news...

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while it has been a rough couple of weeks. A few days after moving in with Jamie and Dave I was a work and got a phone call from my dermatologist telling me they received my results back from my biopsy on a spot on my leg and it came back as Melanoma. I was so shocked I couldn't even speak. I never would have thought that at my age I would get skin cancer. I was so scared I called Shawn and my mom right away. My family was also in such shock. That night a few of them came over to give me a blessing, it helped out so much to calm our nerves. The next day they were able to get me into the Huntsman Cancer Center to meet with a Melanoma surgeon. Dr. Andtbacka told me that it is in the very early stages and that they would like to do surgery right away. So this past Monday they had me go get some radioactive injections around the area to see what limp nodes the cancer could have spread to. Then on Tuesday I went in for surgery. I was so scared to have to be put out that it may hurt the baby but we talked to so many doctors reassuring us that the baby would be totally fine. They had to take more area off of my calf and take out 3 limp nodes out of my groin to have biopsied to make sure it didn't spread. They sounded pretty confident that it hadn't but we will find out the results next Wednesday when I go in for my check up. I can't wait for this all to be over. It has been a really trying time right now with just moving and having a baby on the way now with this big news. I want to let my family and friends know that I love them and couldn't have gone through this without their support.

Moving Day 2/27

So we finally moved out of our house. We had a lot of our family members come over to help us on the big day. It was sad to leave our first home. We moved everything to a storage shed that's close to our lot up in South Weber where we are going to build our next house. I can't wait for them to dig the hole in the next couple weeks! I want to say a big THANKS to our family's. They helped out so much, and they are the best! We could have never done this without them. Ü
