Maryn's 1 month Birthday....

Maryn is one month old. It has flown ! Being busy with the 2 older bumbles has made life a little hectic. She is doing well and we have a weight check on monday since she wasn't back up to birth weight at her 2 week. Presley is doing well with her earrings. She is anxious to start changing them out. Knox got a spiderman costume from DI the other day for $5. He loves it. You should have seen his face when he saw it hanging there, it was priceless. Oh and for all of my BYU softball Alum...our old navy uniform pants are now on sale at DI for $5....haha, cracked me up to see them there. So here is spiderman and my little BYU fans...

Oh where to begin...

This will not contain too much text. We have had so much going on lately so this is a combo post. Presley started riding her bike without training wheels about 2 months ago, but I have yet to post about it. Presley has started Pre-K at BYU and absolutely loves it. Maryn had her first bath. Knox is starting to Potty train ( hopefully for real this time ). Presley got her ears pierced today. Bryan has started the fall semester. Maryn got her toungue clipped for being tongue tied. Alright I think that is where we are. Here are some pics of some of these events. Hope you are all doing well. Life with 3 is a little chaotic while we learn to juggle the madness :)

Maryn Jane Fallowfield...

We are now officially a family of 5 ! That sounds so crazy to me. Maryn Jane was born on Tuesday morning September 1, 2009 at 9:55am. She weighed 7 lbs 11oz and is 20 inches long. She is healthy and doing well. We are so excited to have her join our family. She is such a sweet baby. She looks a lot like her big sister and her mommy :). Presley and Knox were super excited to get to meet her and the first time they came to the hospital to meet her I was in the middle of breastfeeding her and Knox said to her " Not eat my mommy !" We will be able to leave the hospital tomorrow and I am sure I will be in for a big adjustment dealing with 2 kiddos that just want to run and play and one that just wants to eat and sleep. Here are a few pictures of our new addition. I will post new ones soon.

August Fun...

Bry had the great idea to take the kids to the Farm up in Lehi, UT last tuesday. We went last year with some friends and haven't been since. Presley hadn't forgotten about it though and was so excited about the thought of getting to ride a pony. She was so brave and hopped right on up on the pony about 2 loops around she started looking over her shoulder at the horse behind her and every time she looked back her expression was more and more concerned. Finally she started crying and Bry walked beside her and asked her what was going on. Here is her reply "That horse is making a mad face at me". She got super worried that the horse was mad, so he reassured and the ride was soon over and she was fine. Knox didn't care to ride and he really enjoyed the animals as long as he didn't have to touch them and they didn't touch him. So here are some pics from out eventful evening.

Pres on the Pony before the meltdown...

Having fun pretending to milk a cow...or should I say watering, that is what they had in there.

9 months Preggo !

Alright so before you get into this I have a warning...this post will contain a lot of self pity and whining...So here we are on the 8th day of August and I have been absolutely miserable for about 3 weeks. The hot weather has not helped me out with my swelling at all. I have been to the hospital 3 times with false labor stuff. The last time I was sure we were gonna have a baby, but no I was sent home and given a lecture the next day by my not so wonderful OB. I am now 36 weeks and have met my Dr. a total of 3 times. The practice I go to is so busy. He is always delivering babies. I can't stand the head nurse. Everytime I talk with them about my concerns they think I am an idiot. I mean really I am on my 3rd kid and I kind of know what is going on with my body, but whatever. I started the pregnancy with a blood pressure of 90/60. I hit 138/93 the other day, which was really high but have consistantly been sitting at about 138/82...still high right, but I am an idiot for being concerned. I have now put on 62 lbs ! I know I am no skinny, cute belly preggo, but come on ! And if I go to the c-section date of 9-1-09...I will be 39 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I have never been pregnant longer than 38 weeks ! Plus the Dr. thinks that she will be 9lbs !! Suggestions please on how to get things moving ! I know the usuals, but anyone had anything that worked for them ?

Knox's surgery

Here Knox is Pre surgery.  He was freaking out, he was begging to go home.  I am assuming that the memory of tubes was still fresh in his mind.  The nurse came in and gave him a medicine that is part of the Valium family and in about 5 minutes the tears had subsided and a new relaxed Knox had appeared.  When the Dr. came in I voiced my concerns over the tonsil removal and together we decided not to do them today.  And hopefully we won't have to do them ever.  He doesn't have tonsillitis, or anything else wrong with the tonsils except for their gigantic size.  After the surgery Dr. Beus came in and said that his adenoids were huge and were blocking pretty much everything in his sinus passage to his throat.  So even with the swelling that will occur over the next couple of days he is still much better off than he was with the adenoids in.  Anyway- there was our run down.  Here are some pics from this morning.

So sad, he was terrified....
