Results

The good news is that my gallbladder is fine. The bad news is that the baby is preventing my right kidney from draining. So I have to live with the pain and risk damaging my kidney or have a stint put in my kidney. I meet with the urologist on Monday. If any of you have any knowledge or experience with this type of thing please share!

PAIN!!!

So I have been having this horrific pain in my back and rib cage area. At first I figured it was just the baby, but the pain has been unbearable. So after a long and painful week, I finally went to the doctor and the diagnosis is my gallbladder. AWESOME....not really. They don't like to remove it while your pregnant so I get to go 11 weeks with the pain. They did give me some meds but they didn't take the pain away, instead they made me loopy. I was great entertainment at work. I have a ton of things to blog about but I have to download all my weekend pictures first so I will do that when I am feeling a little better!

Bunny Eggs

Anybody who really knows me can tell you that I do not have a crafty or artistic bone in my body. Seriously, I can't even draw stick people. So I had to post some pictures of the bunny eggs that I made for my students for Easter. I know they are very novice and I am a long ways away from the abilities of the rest of the world, but even my husband was impressed! I included a back view so you could see the tails.

Its a Boy!!!!

Everybody guessed right! We are having a boy. We have no boy names picked out so we are very open to suggestions if anybody has some. The ultra sound predicted the due date as 06/29/09. We are very excited!!! I know that everybody says that babies in ultra sounds look like aliens. I think ours is like the king of aliens! However, you can see from the 4D picture that it is not an alien. In case you can't tell, it is a picture of the profile. He has his arm up by his face. He is also sucking on his bottom lip. I hope that does not become a habit! :)

Madison is one!!!!!

Last Saturday we had a birthday party for Madison. She turned one on January 9th! Some of the pictures didn't turn out very well because of the lighting, but anybody who has young kids needs a donkey like the one in the slide show! Hilarious!!!!!

AQHA Awards

Another year has come and gone, and the results are in! The AQHA awards were held this January in Boise Idaho. Dad won runner up jockey of the year for the state of Idaho, and my one of the horses that my brother trains won horse of the year. Also, one of the owners that Kyle trains for won owner of the year. It was a great year, and although my dad claims he has retired from riding, I can't help but hope that he does it again this year!

Visitors

Ben's brother and his family were able to come visit from the great state of Texas this last week. We were only able to spend a little bit of time with them, but it was really great to see them. They have a 1 year old that we hadn't seen since last June and I can't believe how fast they grow! She is so cute and has a very lovable personality. We wish they would move back to Idaho but I can't blame them for staying when things are going so well! Keep in touch guys!!!!
