our puppies!

I have not blogged in a long time about our cute puppies.
Mona is getting a lot bigger she is not as big as Izzy and I really don't think she will get that big. But she is big enough to beat Izzy up lol. OK not really beat up but she does a pretty good job getting on Izzy's nerves. Sometimes I think Izzy loves her and sometimes I can tell Izzy hates her. Izzy is still really jealous of Mona when we are giving Mona more attention then Izzy. But Izzy loves to cuddle with us and Mona not so much. We love Izzy cuddles! We wish Mona would do the same but she is just so dang independent. I really think she gets that from the pug in her.

Here are some pics of them

My surgery

This starts a little before the whole emergency surgery. We have been trying to conceive for two and 1/2 years. I found out back in Sept 2009 that I had PCOS here is a link to give you more info http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001408/ . So we knew it would be difficult to conceive because of this diagnosis. Anyways so now we are at the beginning of this year and in February we decided to go to an infertility specialist. March was actually our second try with the specialist and we had gotten pregnant. The problem was when we got our blood work back they said my hcg level was too low and most likely was either a chemical pregnancy which is an early miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. So I went in every 3 day and got my blood drawn to check my hcg levels. What they are supposed to do it double every 2 -3 days. And of course mine were doubling. Just to give you an idea I went in on April 6th my hcg was 14. Then I went in on April 9th it was 25. Then April 12th it was 60 and then April 15th 140. So by Monday April 18th I was about 5 and 1/2 weeks. They did an ultra sound and they could not find the baby in the uterus. They did more blood work and my number that day had gone to 501. So we went in for final blood work on Thursday and an another ultra sound. Still no baby in uterus and blood work didn't double it only went to like 832. They really thought now it was an ectopic so we went in and took a shot to stop the pregnancy from growing. That was around 4 30 pm. By 11 30 that night i was in a lot of pain and we headed to the emergency room. They ran a few test and they found that my tube was about to rupture. We were in emergency surgery by 3 am. The surgery did go well and I was out of the hospital the same day by 11 am. I am so grateful for my husband who was there every minute to watch me up to the point of having to go to the er. When i told him i was hurting he was like I really don't want to wait i just want to go right now. But i told him lets see what happens in 5 mins but then of course the pain just got worse. Our hospital is like 12 to 15 mins away and he made it in like 6 mins. And of course during recovery he was so great. I don't know what I would have done with out him.

My 30th b day!

I had a great 30th b day I think it was wanna of the bests ones ever! It started with breakfast at Market street grill. It was steak and eggs for 6.99! It was spectacular! Seriously one of the best breakfast I have ever had. Then we headed to the store to buy some clothes. My wonderful husband said I needed new clothes on my b day. Then we went and watch the Source Code. Then it was nap time before we headed to the Cheese cake factory with my hubby and some friends! I was sad to turn 30 but now that I have it really wasn't that big of a deal. Bring on the next 10 years! I am so excited to see what they will bring me!

The night before my b day we went to my in laws where my mother in law made the best dinner for me. It was pot roast with mash potatoes and gravy and rolls! I really felt spoiled. Here is a picture from that night.

We are really wanting to get out of our condo so we have been house hunting. We have looked at some used houses for sale. But we also have looked to maybe build. Here is the link to the neighborhood http://www.henrywalkerhomes.com/communities/cottages/

Newest addiiton to our family

We decided it was time to get Izzy a friend. So here is Mona! She is a 9 week old puggle. That is a mix of pug and beagle. She is not like Izzy that much. She does sleep a lot which is fun to watch. Izzy just cant stop bothering her and just wants to keep following her around because we think to protect her but whatever it is she needs to less of it. But we are so glad to have her. She is a great addition to family. Here are a couple of pics!

Martha's Farewell

My sister in law Martha is leaving for a mission on January 4Th and she will be serving in the Santa Cruz Bolivia Mission. She just had her farewell this past Sunday. We are going to miss her so much! But I know she is doing the right thing by serving the Lord.

My mother in law did an awesome job making this really yummy white chili! She always does really nice things for her kids and I am really grateful for her to be my mother in law.

I took a couple of pictures from that day so enjoy!
