Here's our little peanut....

Here's our little peanut. I was hoping I'd get the 3D ultrasound but we didn't get it obviously. This is, if you can't tell, the side profile & he has his little hands in a fist. well I say HE, but honestly I dont know, and I didn't let the dr tell me. He kept teasing me, but its still a suprise baby. Now, I'm so excited to see this little thing, and hold him/her. The baby is breech right now, so we're hoping that it starts to turn although it has plenty of time yet, but running outta room so it needs to turn! We will ck at the next 2 visits. My placenta has corrected itself, and has gone to the top which is a good thing, I dont know how I woulda done full bed rest for the next 3mo! Luckily we dont have to!
My due date has been pinpointed to June 28th going off the measurements, but he said that it could go 10days in either direction, being June 15 or July 5th. Maybe born on Grandma Lloyds bday! I dont wanna go that long though...I'm ready NOW!
Today's appt just made me so excited to get this baby here, and meet this little person. Kymbree went with and stood on the bench and watched intently the ultrasound monitor. I was suprised she made out the babies profile, but she said...."O MY GOSH momma, deres baby bruder" Then she told Dr Dewey..."my momma has a baby in her belly, and its going b borned in dere, dats my baby bruder" It was sorta adorable! A'jaye went too, but she could care less.... she doesn't have a clue whats about to happen, lol.
Anyhow....things look good otherwise, and everything is in order.....well, everything is in order with babies development that is, outside the womb, nothing is ready but time will fix that! Time fixes everything, right?

growing belly.......

Well here it is, our baby at 26.5 wks along. This baby is a mover & a shaker! A very active little thing..... I'm so excited to be able to see this baby for a full ultra sound on Monday. I believe we'll be getting a 3D ultra sound too, which will be awesome even though I find those things to be a little freaky! I already feel such a connection, even moreso I think then my other babies at this point, with this baby & already have begun bonding with him/her. I can't wait to meet this little thing & see what baby looks like, who will he/she resemble the most? Funny thing is I'm more excited to see what baby looks like, then to know the sex of the baby. I have to say that I would HIGHLY suggest waiting to find out to everyone that will still be having babies. Its been SO FUN not knowing. It sorta adds to the excitment of the entire process, & actually helps you get thru each month even more. Its sorta like a present that you can't wait to open up. The girls refer to baby as "baby brother" , but I refer to baby as "suprise baby" for more then one reason, lol. Either way we just feel SO blessed to be having this baby, and with each day that passes I feel even stronger that this baby has a purpose to our family, and has such a strong spirit. I feel this baby all around me everyday & I can't wait for the day that I get to hold her/him.
I sorta feel bad for husbands, they miss out on this special experience of having baby in the womb. There are times I wish Aaron could take the load of carrying baby, but I'd NEVER want to give this part up for anything. ITs funny how as a women we love and hate being pregnant. There are parts I'd give up rignt now forever, but feeling baby move, hiccup, being a part of me is the most special gift God has given us as women. How amazing that our bodies build another life....its just absolutely amazing to me. I always tell my girls that their belly buttons are their tie to me, they think that is just the neatest thing, & sorta it is!
Well we have just under 3mo till baby comes..... & I'm trying to just enjoy every moment of it as ready as I am to be done with this stage of my life, it also makes me sad that this is the final one & I will NO longer experience carrying a baby again, but I've had my share its time I hang up this card & continue wtih the "raising kids" card till we're done with that one & then I'm sure we'll be sad about that ending too, its sort of a bitter sweet thing with each journey ending I guess.

Just cuz it made me giggle!

HAHA! I was goin thru my pictures & come across this one of mom and dad, and it cracks me up!
It made me laugh so hard I couldn't stop. YEP this is our parents Lloyd children, WE ARE PROUD! lol. I do love you guys so much! I am so blessed with amazing, fantastic, loving parents. I often find myself missing so much being around you & being able to go over to your house and hang out on a whim. Kymbree says everyday almost that she wants to go see Grandma Aphween, cuz she has new purple shoes and she has to show her ( I have NO idea why she feels the need to show Grammie her new shoes, but she does) .
I just am so grateful for both of you, you've both given me so much in life I wont ever b able to repay you for! As I look at my children growing it always makes me laugh because I find myself doing and saying things you guys always did growing up. There's a piece of you in each of my girls and just look at what you two created..... u have pages and pages of blogs full of grandkids, grown kids, and family to show for your life together! What an awesome story you both have created.... WE LOVE YOU!!!

Time's growing closer.... & mom's in a panic

Well here we are beginning March, right? The months have gone so fast it'll b June b4 I know it! Here I am my belly growing daily, my baby moving more frequently & the reality of this situation sets in. Questions arise that I'm not ready to answer. Where u going to deliver? What u going to name the baby? What u taken to the hospital for the baby to come home in? When are you going to buy a carseat? What if its a boy and it has to use a pink blanket? Names Names Names??

I'll just say it for the record, I DONT KNOW! I DONT KNOW, I DONT KNOW! I havent really thought of any of this because its not really happening right? Its just a dream, its not really reality, lol. I mean obviously I realize that my stomach is huge, and I can't shave my legs anymore, but am I really having #5? All I can say to that is, 5 is ALOT of kids! Actually 5 isn't a whole lotta kids, but the way I've done it, IT IS alot of kids.

I just really have to give a shout out to my older two girls. WIthout them two I'd be lost, I'd loose my mind. They really help me so much, their both little mothers to Kymbree & A'jaye. Derian takes most the burden on Kymbree when she gets home. She helps me by playing with her, & helps me put her to bed & takes ALOT in cleaning up the messes she makes. THANK YOU SWEETY! She is a awesome babysitter, & its so nice to b able to go to the store and not have to take everyone with, or to go out on a date w/my husband & know that things are fine. We still get alot of phone calls but its still so nice to take a hour or two and go to dinner.

My sweet Ashlynn.... she is the best big sister to A'jaye. Ashlynn comes thru the door from school and A'jaye lights up, and runs after her to give her hugs & smacks (kisses, AJ calls them "macks") Ashlynn is so sweet with her & honestly I truly mean this from the bottom of my heart, I would NEVER b able to do this w/out my 2 older ones!!! Like Aaron told them the other night, "yea sometimes it sux being the older ones u have alot more responsibility in helping out" Derian & Ash both just smiled and Derian said.."Yea but mom owes me $45.00 in babysitting fee's so its ok" lol. I do pay her....lol. I figure i have to pay someone I may as well pay my daughter.

SO we have like 3mo left of pregnancy & although I'm catching up to reality & its smacking me hard I am so excited to meet this baby & find out what it is. I have such mixed feelings on is it a boy or is it a girl but really Aaron and I are hoping for a healthy baby and healthy delivery more then anything. Kymbree insists its a brother baby she says "it not a gurl, its a boy one" w/her finger pointed at everyone. She talks to the baby at night b4 bed, its hilarious. She'll say "boy baby you in dere, you ok, its ok sistor is here" lol. Its so cute! All my dreams tell me its a boy, but time will tell it is already what it is & that isn't changing. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything boy or girl, but I was in Walmart the other night and they had little newborn baby jammies for $3 & I couldn't resist. I figured I could take em back, or give em away.

I know there's really no purpose to this blog posting, but I really just wanted to thank my older two baby girls for helping me so much, they really do alot and I'm forever grateful for them! I LOVE YOU BOTH!

KYMBREE KATHLEEN POULSON!!!! Get your BUTT in here!

Oh my goodness, I return to business as usual, lol. On Saturday night while I was talking to Aaron and hanging out in the bedroom watching TV the girl were all in the living room doing thir thing. Derian comes in and says, "mom, I think Kymbree just cut A'jayes ponytail off" WHAT!!!!

A'jaye had a cute little ponytail on the top of her head Saturday (sense thats all we can really do with her hair) and Kymbree got ahold of scissors and she snipped it right off at the base, GReAT!!!!

Well needless to say, it doesn't look very cute! I told A'jaye, its a dang good thing she's little and adorable otherwise we'd have an issue. I guess its just hair, and it grows back, but DANG! Kymbree is such a little stinker butt sometimes. Our household can NOT live with out that cute little girl though, even as mad as she makes us sometimes!

Here's the after math......

Mom leaves on an exclusive NO kids overnighter!

Well, my BFF (haha) talked me into going on an overnighter trip w/her & her sister. Her sister works up at Sundance just up Provo Canyon and was able to get us a cabin unit for free. We took her up on the deal and left friday night to go away for 24hrs. I think I needed this more then I thought. I had so much fun w/these two, of course I always do.

I always get anxiety whenever I leave & go overboard on getting Aaron and the kids ready, as if they can't make it a night without me there, DUH! I get there clothes all ready for the next day, and I have food all ready...and just stupid stuff that Aaron is MORE then capable of doing himself. We usually have a dozen phone calls while I'm gone between one another just because #1. we hate to b apart, or #2 they can't find something, or need something or whatever...

Well, Teneile had a plan, and it worked a little, lol. Up to Sundance there is NOT alot of cell service so it was hit and miss on the phone calls, but it turned out to be ok. I got over my anxiety issue and sorta relaxed, I had a great time. It was nice to get away.

We went to dinner at our fav place Tapenyaki's after waiting for a hour to get down the canyon because of a slide off in front of us, but other then that thigns were good, we made the best of it. WE came back to the cabin with 3 grocery sacks of JUNK/COMFORT foods, and roasted marshmellows over the fire, and had girl talk. We stayed up till 3am and just enjoyed our every moment we had away from normal life.
I was so happy to learn that Aaron had a huge sleepover himself with his daughters. They all slept in our bed friday night with him and Derian and him stayed up and watched the Jazz game together fri night. Saturday morning they all got up and he took them to breakfast at our fav place over in Spanish fork, and then he took them to walmart just to roam around and shop for fun things. If u all know Aaron, he just DOES NOT roam walmart! He's your typical guy shopper, goes in with a plan and comes out just as fast as he went in, but he was there for almost 2hours just letten the girls look around and window shop for things. They had so much fun with their daddy! I told Aaron....Gosh, I guess I should maybe do this more often, then you can all have bonding time, and I get a break! He just looked at me with the look.

Aaron's a great daddy, of course I've always thought this, but this weekend just proved it to me once again. He really gives them qualitity time, which means so much to them and to me!
I am so glad I went, it was nice, to ahve a small break away from reality and take a breather. I think every mom/women needs to do this once in awhile!

A'jaye gets in trouble!!! & the dog scores big!

So, I have some pics, and some stories to go along with it. Bare with me again, there's going to be like 3-4 NEW postings.... but again, I dont know how to post the pics w/the stories and do it all in one blog, so if someone can teach me, I'll do it that way rather then this way, but for now this works.

So, the other day, Kymbree comes running in the bedroom where I was putting away clothes & says...."MOM, JJ's is on the ounter, & deres omen noobles ebery aire" (baby talk, hope you can translate). MAN I say and go running in the kitchen. IF I forget to put the stools up on the table or up on the counter A'jaye we EVERy time climb up on the kitchen counter and play in my sugar bowl, or flour canister, or something. Usually making a mess EVERYWHERE! I usually hear here though, but this time she was a silent mess maker. I walk in and this is what I found.....

Ramen noodles everywhere that we had just had for lunch, her on the counter looken at me like..."WHAT, I didn't do anything, besides if I did, I'm cute so...like you'll get mad at me mom" and she says to me "MOMMA" and puts her hands out. I called in Zoey and she cleaned it up for me, she was all bothered by having to be the vacumn cleaner though...I'm sure she just hates situations such as this! lol. SO, here's my pics from our little mess maker, and our cleaner upper!
