The Big Arrival!!!!

Aaron William Clawson made his big arrival on October 15th, 2009 at 7:33 pm. Yes he was still early. He was born at exactly 36 weeks. Our little guy weighed 5 pounds 10 ounces and was 18 inches long. He is the most adorable little boy i have ever seen. Ok so maybe im a little partial :-) He is growing more and more everyday. I cant believe he is already a month old. Time flys when you get little sleep, HEHE. I love him so much. And the more i see Scott hold him the more i fall in love with both of them.

AGHHHH!!! Really?

Ok so i have now been on bedrest since i was 27 weeks and i am now almost 35. The dr is telling me i have to make it to 37. I keep complaining about it, but i really do know its best to keep him in as long as possible. I just wish people would let me vent and not keep telling me NO. This isnt my first go around with bedrest. Especially when they have not been in my position. When they have then we can talk... Untill then let me vent. Aaron is developing like he should, he is actually 3 days ahead in development. Which is really great! We are just so dang anxious to see what our little boy looks like considering everytime we have tried to see his face his arms are in the way. And last time the little booger waved at us and still didnt move his arms. Im hopeing our little guy will be here before Halloween and before my mom comes to visit. I just need 2 more weeks!! Can i really make it? I guess i dont have a choice unless he decides to come all on his own.

Bed Rest... STINKS!!!

Well luckily we are back in Utah. Last monday night after cramping and not being able to really take anymore of it i talked Scott into taking me to the Hospital. I guess i know when something is wrong. We got there they did some tests, called the on call Dr, which was My dr. he came in and talked to me. And sure enough i was dialated to 1 cm 50 % effaced already and just at 27 weeks. The thing that really concerned him was i was going numb on my right side of my body and i was losing strenght. Well he wanted to see me back in his office that Wednesday for a follow up and he referred me to a Neurologist to see about the numbness. Well needless to say i was really nervous about going. And we had tons of prayers from everyone. He checked me again and i was still at 1 cm but i had changed to 75% effaced. There it went, My freedom. Complete bedrest is what he ordered. Let me tell you its not easy when your trying to get moved into a new place to do nothing. I went to the Neurologist on thursday and he did his tests and i have Moderate Carpal Tunnel in my right wrist. Well today is the 20th and we go back to the dr so he can check me yet again. Im really hopping to make it to 34 weeks before Aaron makes his big entrance. I am currently 28 weeks and things are getting harder for me. I cant get comfy, im getting kicked from my ribs to my tailbone. Im just really ready to be comfortable again. But i know the longer he is in there the better it is for him, This isnt my first Rodeo. Chloe tried to come at 31 weeks and they stuck me in the hospital on bedrest. I was really just hopping this pregnancy would be different. But its not... Update on todays visit will come later.

Sheer Madness!!

So i realized today that with a second baby coming and a very active 5 year old I'm not going to have much me time. With Scott in school, studying and working its all gonna be up to me. Can i really do this? I guess at this point i don't have much of a choice. I'm just hoping that Chloe will be more of a help than a hindrance. But the up side of it she will be in school half a day. Why cant Utah be like Texas where kindergarten is ALL day? I have so much going through my mind at this point i don't know where its all going to go. Lets add to it, i don't want to do anything but Eat either. I cant wait for this little one to come. I want to be able to sleep comfortably again. I was going to repaint my toenails then i realized i couldn't paint them this time, my mom did. I cant bend over anymore. AHHHHHH!!!! It's almost over, Right?

Summer is coming to an End, FAST!

Yes thats right we have been in Missouri since the begining of May and now we are getting things ready to head back to Utah on the 18th of August. Im so excited to get back and get everything moved into our new Apartment in Logan. Plus im really anxious cause when we get back the closer time for our baby to come. I cant believe how time has flown by. I have loved being here and getting to know new people and making new friends. My mom came for a 2 week visit the begining of July, and we had so much fun going and seeing things together. I just had my 26th birthday on Monday and i feel so old already. Scott made it a great day. He took the day off work so we could do things as a family. I had the bright idea of going to the Arch and going up to the top. We got there and i couldnt move, i frooze with fear. And of course my 2 daredevils took off. Chloe isnt afraid of anything, She sat right on the edge at the Grand Canyon. And Scott went Skydiving last summer. But for some reason i couldnt move. After our Arch expirence we brought Chloe home and Mikki watched her as we went to dinner Alone. We went to my favorite place, Red Lobster. It was nice to sit down at a decent hour to have dinner with my husband and actually talk about things other than his job.

ITS A BOY!!!

This past tuesday i had a drs appointment while i was in Utah. It was supposed to just be a check up, but i talked the dr into taking a look just to see if we could see anything. IE Gender. Well sure enough we saw the baby and as soon as he stopped wiggling we saw the Boy parts. I knew what i was looking at but i waited for the dr to say something. And he confirmed that it was a Boy. I was so excited i was in tears. I got on the phone with Scott before he was even done cleaning the nice goo off me. And yes we have already picked out a name. Aaron William Clawson, Aaron being Scotts middle name and William after my dad. Im sure he is up in heaven giving our little one advice. This will be only my moms 3rd grandson with 6 granddaughters. And Scotts parents 3rd grandson with 2 granddaughters. We are all so excited. I cant believe this next week starts the begining of my 5th month, its going by so fast.
