Names

Not that it matters to anyone but me right now, but I feel slightly sick. Yet all I can think about is how bad I want to go get some Spagettio's! LOL

We have two names right now. If it is a boy his name will be Zzyzx Tatton Jensen. Lonnon has picked both names this time. He has had the name Zzyzx for about 7 years now. He got it from the road on the way to California and just thought it would be the coolest boys name. It is his family's tradition to give the boys the mom's maden name for a middle name and he wanted to carry on that tradition.

If it is a girl her name will be Tesla Patience Jensen. He got Tesla from some inventor guy that he says is extreamly smart. And Tesla is the guys last name. Patience, because when I pregnant with Keilani and didn't know it yet Lonnon was saying family prayer and prayed for me to be blessed with more patience. I started crying and asked if he realized that every time he prayed for patience I get pregnant. At that time I didn't want to be pregnant and was very upset that I had been blessed with another child to learn patience. We joked that the next girl we would name Patience because what better to teach you patience than four girls. It just so happens it actually went really well with Tesla. So our joke is if it is a girl, it will mean the Lord is blessing me with more patience.

The best part about the names is most everyone that hears them thinks we should name our children something else which makes us want to use them even more. Then we know for sure no one else will have them right! Just kidding. We like them, we are the parents and so we get to choose. If other people want a differant name they can have their own kids. Right?

Latest Dr Appointment

Well, we just got back from the Doctor. It is good news and bad news.

The Good:

The baby is active, healthy, and still in there. The surgery for the cerclage as far as we know has gone good. And to fill everyone on more info. than needed we can have "adult relations" again as long as we are careful. And the ultrasound is in two weeks and we can see if we can see if it is a boy or girl.

The Bad:

For the rest of the entire pregnacy I have to do the following. I have to really, I mean REALLY take it easy. I am not aloud to swim. There is an extreamly high chance of infection. I am not aloud to exercise at all. If I feel I am dying to exercise I can go for a short walk but that is the extent and is pushing it. I am not aloud to lift anything. If there is too much cramping or any spotting I am to lye down immediatly. And keep an eye on it, and keep him updated if it happens. Same goes for "adult relations", If there are any problems with it, it may have to be put on hold for a while. (which with this pregnacy so far is more my problem than Lonnon's to his excitement.)

I guess it can't all be "bad" news. The positive look on it is:
PROBLEM SOLUTION
can't lift things - Someone else has to do it.
take it easy - the house looks bad and it's ok. I have Dr's orders to rest
no swimming - I don't look bad in swim suit
no exercising - I can get big and be lazy Dr's orders

See, there is good from this! LOL! I just have to make sure I look at all the positives and try to stay excited and be careful not to get depressed with what I can'd do. I also need to break down my pride and ask some of my Young Women girls from Church to come and help me clean and watch my girls. Which will be good for me. I don't like asking for help. I like to do it all myself. I take too much on. Not always the smartest thing but it is me.

A am excited about the baby. I felt it move with my hand on the outside for the first time two days ago. That was exciting and when the Dr. did the heartbeat today, it wouldn't stop moving. He had to pin it in a corner and then the baby kicked the moniter and swam away. Lonnon was laughing and so was the Dr. The Dr. laughs every time he does the heart beat because he knows Lonnon would love a boy but is ok with a girl. The heart beat was 159 today. The general beat of a girl. But not always. We can keep hopes up. But we will see. We will find out in two weeks for sure if the baby will let us.

My Tummy Size

Good Face / no body

I would love to cut and past here. I know it is not the best picture but as least you can see my face not blinking. But the next one is a decent shot of how little/big my tummy is.
My waist (around my belly button) messures 32 1/2 inches. It doesn't sound like much but between that and my ever growing bottom my size 4-5 pants don't fit in any way shape or form no matter how hard I may want to try.

I am pregnant and I do realize I will grow. I just have never showed this much until the end of five months. I am only 15 weeks. Just past my third month. Thing is every pregnacy I have had has been differant and it is my fourth child. I can't expect to keep my figure all the way until the end of six kids right?



Bad Face / shows body
Any ways, the whole point is to show that I am showing right now and none of my clothes fit. We just bought the stretch pants and shirt I am wearing in the pictures. Lonnon got me 5 shirts that are now long enough to reach up and not show my religion / tummy. But oh gee, how sad. I went from a size small in shirts to a medium. I really can't complain. And as long as that baby stays in there I am good. Posted by Picasa

Our 4th of July

OK. We had a fun Fourth of July. The girls were scared of the fire works though. Let me tell you how glad I was that we used what was left of last years fireworks and only bought the snaps this year. We spent around $3.00 this year. I would love see someone beat that price on fireworks that lasted about 2 hours! And 99.9 percent of last years were eveyone elses left overs that got sent home with us so they were all free.

Yet, Here is BraeLynne and Auroiya's main reaction to all the fireworks.
Thank goodness for the pillows!














Keilani spent the night like so. She would say,
"Pug er erz!" (plug your ears)
Auroiya's main reaction to the fire works going off.














Lonnon showing his excitment for the 4th, or should I say for FIRE! At the same time demonstrating how not to light the fireworks. We shouldn't light them when holding them kids!















Needless to say, we had a very fun and inexpensive Fourth of July!

Nine Months Can Be Long

Well, has been a while since I have been able to blog. I went to my 11 week visit and my doctor told me that I should have a cerclage done just to be on the safe side so I don't have to go on bed rest. Or I could see how things go but if my cervix shortens I will be put on bed rest. That would be six months of bed rest.

(Those of you who do not know about my last pregnacy, I had an incomplete cervix. I was 50 percent efaced by six months.)

We scedualed the surgery for June 29th. The girls went to my friend Carmens house. (Who my girls know as Aunt Carmen. We adopted each other as sisters.) I checked into the hospital at 10:00 am and we got ready for surgery. They had to give me an epidural. The only problem is that my bones are to close together in my back so they can never get it in right. They had to move up verdibrates three times before it would go in right and it took 40 minutes of being curled in a ball. The surgery it's self only took five and went well. The doctor said it is a good thing we did it and that my cervix has already shortened and I was dialated to a 1 1/2. I'm not a doctor but I don't think that is so good since I was only 14 weeks along.

Tomorrow I will be 15 weeks and it will be one week from the surgery. I am having a harder time recovering than I thought I would. I have to rest alot and we went to the store yesterday. We were in there for say, 45 minutes total. By that time we were done Lonnon was having to go ahead to get things and I would slowly catch up. He wanted to carry me out to the car but I woudn't let him. I just took my time walking very very slowly. I just get worn out and get cramps. (I am suppose to take it easy VERY easy for two weeks.) I just didn't thing going to the store was that big of a deal. I was wrong. Needless to say, I sat for the rest of the 4th of July. Daddy got to light fireworks and I gladly took pictures of our terrified girls. Who ran away from the "Scary Fire". I sure am glad we used the rest of last years fireworks and spent a whole $3 on snaps this year. Or I may have been disappointed in their reactions. LOL!

I guess I just thought I would have the surgery, rest for a day or two, then jump up and things would be back to normal. I guess the real question should be, Do I know what normal is in a house with three children? I just need to keep taking it easy no matter how lazy I feel when I just sit there or lay there. I do get up and do a load of laundry, dishes or something for about 15 minutes then I go back to sitting or more likely lying down to keep the pressure off.

Things are going well though. I just pray that this baby will be able to stay in long enough to be a healthy baby. I don't care if it is a boy or a girl. Just healthy and alive.
