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

House for Sale...

So we put our house up for sale on the 7th of January and 6 days later we had three offers. We were so excited and shocked that we could find a buyer that fast! We ended up accepting the 2nd offer which was higher than our asking price (yippy) and should close on the home the 1st of March! Holy Crap I can't believe we sold our house. We have talked about it for so long I can't believe we finally did it. Shawn's sister Amy is our Agent and she did such an awesome job getting the buyers to our house. We had a lot of people who came and walked through it and we had to turn away 4 more families because of all the offers we were getting. So now is the not so fun part of packing everything up and moving into Jamie and Dave's house for a little while. We haven't fully decided if we are going to build or buy existing. We have looked at so many homes and lots it's draining, but I want to be picky because I plan on being in this next house for at least 10 years. We built this house back in 97 and we have loved living here. I am going to cry my eyes out when we leave because of all the fun memories we have had at this house. It will always be our 1st home! Ü

Bryan's 40th Birthday!

We went to the Timbermine for Bryan's big 40th birthday party. It was so nice to all go as a family with out the little kids. Tice was the one that wasn't able to make it because he was out of town for work. We sure missed him there. Bryan is such a great brother and we have so much fun together. He has such an infectious laugh and that seems to be all we do when we get together! After dinner we went up to their new house in Pleasant View. Holy crap it is so nice! I can't wait until they are all the way moved in and we can have some fun family parties there!!! Happy Birthday Bro, I love you! Ü

Dumping oatmeal on my face...

Warner was feeding himself some blueberry oatmeal the other day and this is what I found when I came back into the kitchen. I guess he couldn't feed it to himself fast enough with the spoon so he wanted to dump it on his face. It's so nice now that he feeds himself but he sure gets it all over. Ü

Six months and counting

We had our 4-D ultrasound last week, it was so cool! To me she looks a lot like Warner. But I can see bits of all of us in her. She looks like she has Shawn's nose and my mouth. The ultrasound tech said looking at her features she looks more like Shawn and I am so excited about that because I think Warner looks just like him too and he is so stinking cute! In the first part of the video you can see her take a big yawn, it's so crazy! She moves and kicks so much I think she will be just as active as Warner, man that little boy never stops. I know I am going to have my hands full with two but I can't wait for her to get here! How can you already love them so much when you haven't even met? In the first picture you can see her cute profile and she has her knee up to her mouth.

She totally has her daddy's nose in this picture.
She looks more like me in this picture.

Pat on the back....

So I just wanted to give myself a little pat on the back because after a long year and a half I finally got my SR. LOAN OFFICER, Yippee, Hooray!?! If you work at AFCU you know that it usually takes about 2 years after the training to get this authority, but they must be going faster on these than normal. I completed my Senior Loan Officer training back before I had Warner and just had to wait for my manager, VP's and the Sr. Vice President to approve my request. The reason it takes so long is because they have to do a personal audit and an audit on my loan portfolio. (not a job I would want to do) Any who I just wanted to remember this great accomplishment that I have achieved. I am so proud of myself! Ü

Christmas Day

Jamie and Dave came over Christmas morning to open presents, it was a lot of fun! I am so glad they came over. We made some muffins and then woke up Warner for a little breakfast before opening gifts. He didn't really know what to expect.

Our stockings: Petri, Warner, Shawn and Jodi

Of course the first gift he saw was a big red blow up car that has a lot of bouncy balls in it. After he saw that none of the other gifts mattered.

This is Warner's favorite face to make now when he's excited.

These are all of Warner's gifts...

And these are all of the new baby's gifts... My family met over at Scout's and Stryker's grave before doing gifts. We all took some ornaments to put on the tree's and the kids all wrote and colored the twins a picture and card. It was to hard to hold back the tears especially when we all started singing Christmas songs. I sure wish these babies could be here with us, we sure do miss them.

Wow I'm really starting to show...

Warner got a set of bouncy balls from his cousins.

Warner loves the Lego set Granny and Pappy gave him.

Christmas Eve

It's tradition for us to eat dinner at my in-law's house. My Mom and Dad and Jamie and Dave came over also. We ate a yummy dinner and had way to many treats and snacks. Then we read a couple Christmas stories. After that we played an intense game of Bingo with lots of cool prizes. We make sure every year to have Larry play is accordion for us. Warner really liked it and was dancing around to the music. It was a super fun night being with our family! Ü

Bunko Christmas Dinner

We went to Yun's market for our Christmas dinner this year. The Korean food there is really yummy. After we ate we did a game with the gift exchange. Everyone got some really cute things. These girls are so fun to hang out with. I hope we keep playing Bunko for a really long time cause I would miss hanging out with these girls way to much! Can't wait to see what fun we will have all next year!! Ü

Temple Square Christmas Lights

We went with the Davis family to Temple square to see the lights and then we went to the Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It was super fun! Warner was bundled up so much he could barely move.
