My parents are on their way here right now!!! Yay!! I am so excited. Ben knows they're coming, but he doesn't know they're coming today. I have learned my lesson on telling him when were going or they're coming, he gets super excited and doesn't sleep well, so i told him they were coming, but i think he thinks they're coming tomorrow. I did tell him that if he took his nap he would get a surprise when he woke up, and he seemed to think that was a good idea, haha! Were planning on going to San Diego in the morning and doing something...don't know what that something is yet though, and mom booked us some rooms at a wonderful hotel for Saturday night, and then Sunday were going to Balboa park to hear the spreckels organ concert (its a huge organ, I'm sure we will have pictures) and then do some shopping. I'm just excited they're coming!
In Abby news, she cut her first tooth today!!! She really handled it pretty well, she would get fussy at times, but if mommy or daddy were holding her, she was fine. Shes also trying to crawl!!! Only 4 months old, crazy little thing! I think its her size though, shes been doing everything early it seems, and I'm sure she gets jealous of watching her brother run circles around her, and shes ready to join in! She had her 4 month check up last week and had to get some shots which she handled like a champ and she weighs 16.5 lbs and is almost 26 in. long! The Dr. told me to start her on food, but I'm taking my time with that. She did try carrots and squash and seemed to like both of them. Shes a very healthy and happy little girl!
Well, nothing else too exciting going on here. I will have to post after my parents are here, I'm sure we will have stories and pictures.

:-)
Updating blog = fail! We have been staying fairly busy, even when were home i stay busy with keeping everyone fed, clothed and clean. Today was the first day ive really seen that summer is going away! My morning routine is to get Abby settled on her blanket on the floor for her morning tummy time (usually Ben has already been awake for awhile) i go into the kitchen and get the coffee going and look at my indoor/outdoor thermometer. It is a normal occurance in the summer for the outside temp to be 100 by 9 or 10 in the morning...so i was VERY excited to see that it was only 78 at 9 this morning! So, i made a decision, we were going to the park! Oh man was it nice! There was a slight breeze too, and fresh air just does wonders for a person.
Labor Day weekend we decided to try our hand at camping. One of our favorite places to go to beat the heat is Toro Peak. Its just outside of palm springs. It's always gorgeous up there and quite a bit cooler. So, we took off on friday afternoon and got up there that evening. Setting up camp with 2 kids is a bit challenging. Ben was kicking dirt everywhere(i know no one taught him to do that...i think God just makes boys to do that kind of stuff), Abby was hungry and fussy so i was feeding her, David was making a campfire and trying to set up our huge tent by himself, which he was successful at with a few grunts and groans (reminded me of similar vacations with my dad, haha!) The kids slept great both nights we were there, David and I not so much. The first night we were too cold (made sure the kids were nice and warm though) and the 2nd night our airmatress was mostly deflated, but hey, ill take sleeping bad so my kids can sleep good anytime! Saturday, Davids mom and stepdad came up and spent the day with us. We just hung out around camp and enjoyed the beautiful weather and scenery and then we went exploring some in the truck. We found an old car that was down in a ravine (this seems to be a regular occurance for David, finding abandoned vehicles). Sunday, we packed up camp and started down the mountain on the Sawmill trail. Its an old trail that they used to get to and from an old sawmill, pretty cool. So overall, i would say our first camping trip with both kids was a success.
Abby is 3 months old now!! She seems more like a 5 month old though, its gotta be because shes always been so big though. She loves to laugh and smile and talk to us. Shes very alert too, she likes to be held facing out or sitting in her carseat where she can see. I love her to pieces! Ben is doing alot better with her too. I dont think hes very jealous of her anymore. When she gets fussy he will go over to her and try to calm her down and then when it doesnt work he gets frustrated and starts making loud noises of his own...so then its doubly loud for me! Oh well. Im in heaven, i have my sweet boy and girl, 2 of the most beautiful children in the world! I am soo blessed!
Our trip to Texas in August was wonderful, it went by too fast though! We went to my friends beautiful wedding, went to Carlsbad Caverns, which were amazing! I would definitely recomend them to anyone. Of course we did some shopping, went to a baseball game, and best of all just spent time hanging out. Mom got me into cross stiching, which i love! It lets me unwind at the end of the day, and i just love creating something and i can make some really fun gifts! Mom and dad are coming to visit us in the middle of october and i cant wait! I almost told Ben today that they were coming, but decided against it because in the past when ive done that, he has bugged me and bugged me about when theyre coming or when were going and then he gets extremely hyper the day before or of and wont sleep or anything, so, im just going to keep it a surprise for him!
I dont think i have much other news, or at least nothing super exciting. I should probably go take a nap now while both kids are taking their naps...even though i have tons of laundry that needs to be done and a kitchen that needs to be cleaned...im pretty sure my bed is calling my name louder!

love my babies!
Well, life has been fairly uneventful, which is ok. We have been keeping busy though with little weekend trips, which keeps me sane since i stay home most all the time. We went to the river 2 weekends in a row. We are sooo fortunate living where we do, i know that it gets insanely hot, but we have soo many things to do in relatively close proximity. We have San Diego 2 hours away where theres the beach, parks, shopping, zoo's, etc. Then we have the mountains in all directions of us that each have fun little towns or just cooler weather. And then we have the Colorado river thats only 45 minutes away. My all time favorite thing to do in the summer is to play in some sort of water...pool, river, ocean. So far, both of our babies seem to like the water as well. Ben lovesss playing in it and Abby loves sleeping in it, haha! We got a little floatie for her and we cradle her in it and she falls asleep, but only if its being rocked by the waves or someones hand. And, our new tradition it seems is to go eat at the Cracker Barrell after a day on the river, yumm!!
Ben and Abby are both doing good, both growing like weeds. Ben is staying healthy, and to me that is one of the biggest blessings. Abby is healthy, and so far i dont see her having any of the skin problems that ben has had, praise the Lord!!! I really think his problems (eczema, allergies) stem from being on the antibiotic for so long. Abby will be 2 months old tomorrow! Man time flies! I have to take her to the doctor on friday for her check up and she has to get her first set of shots, i think she has to get like 6, and i HATE it. I would take them for her if i could. One of my least liked things is having to watch my babies be poked and prodded. But, im going to be a responisble mommy and take her anyways, and then hold her and cuddle her and tell her how sorry i am that i had to let them do that, haha! We think shes teething already too. She constantly wants to suck/chew on something (she seems to like daddies hand alot) and she drools and fusses alot. Ben teethed early and so did david and i. Im just glad i know what to expect this time, i was completely blindsided when ben started, i had nooo clue what was wrong with the child until i saw the little tooth poking through. Also, she loves to smile and talk to us, especially her daddy. She had a very long conversation with him last night, it was soo precious. She was just lookin up at her daddy and grinnin at him and working that mouth and making all kinds of noises! Watching my kids learn new things is one of my favorite things!
Were leaving for Texas in 9 days!!!!! Yayyy!!! We cant wait! Im sooo ready to see all of my family and friends, Ben is ready to see everyone, he keeps asking me when were going, David is im sure ready for some vacation, and i know abby is ready to meet everyone (or at least vise versa)
Not much else going on in our lives, just loving our babies and living life. I'll leave you with a picture of Abbys favorite river activity (for those of you who may not see it on facebook).

about time!
man i havent posted in a longgg time! ive been wanting to, just havent found the time. as im sure you know, Abigail is here!!! yay!! finally. it didnt all go as I had planned, but i know it went as God had planned. for those of you who dont know about Abbys birth, ill explain. So, i went to the dr. on the tuesday before my due date and he checked me and i just wasnt progressing the way he wanted me to, so he told me to come back on friday (which was my due date) at 8:30 that morning so that we could get things going if he felt i was far enough along in dialting and all that to induce. So, we just really felt like it was going to happen, so my parents decided to go ahead and drive in on thursday (bethany was flying in later that day). Friday morning my mom and i went to the dr, they decided to hook me up to a machine that monitors contractions and fetal movement, everything looked good, was having some contractions and fetal movement was good. The dr. checked me and he still wasnt too happy with my progress and abbys head just wasnt very low. he then decided to measure her to get an idea of how much she weighed...well, just a week or so before that she weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz. or so and usually babies stop growing the last 2 weeks or so, so he wasnt expecting her to be much bigger than that. so he was surprised, with the rest of us, that he measured her to be 9 lbs 6 oz, give or take. he also measured her head, and i cant remember the #s, but theres a certain size that they have to recomend that you have a c-section, well, her head measured over that. so, given the circumstances, he really encouraged me to have a c-section and told me that i had an 85% chance of having a smooth labor and everything going fine, 10% chance of going through labor and then having to have an emergency c-section, which just isnt safe, and then a 5% chance that i could have her naturally but she would be all banged up and could have permanent damage (physical, mental, etc.). i of course started crying, i hadnt really even considered having to have a csection b/c i had ben so easily. but i also knew i didnt want to take that 5% chance. so they told me to go home, talk it over with david and call back before noon and let them know and i would get in there and have a baby at 3 that afternoon. We talked it over and knew it was the best choice, no question. so, by 3 that afternoon i was in the hospital being prepped for the arrival of abby. (i can already tell this post is gonna be long...) so here is my c-section experience...david was with me while they got my iv in and my catheter in and all that, but then when they took me into the operating room he had to stay out, which neither of us was too pleased. my anesthesia was a spinal tap, which is alot like an epidural, but the needle goes all the way into the spine...well, he had to do it twice. it wasnt really painful, but just knowing what he was doing and not having david in there bothered me. i immediately went numb and they laid me back on the table and tole me i might have some nausea and i might kinda panic. i usually dont get the side effects from medicine, but i immediately started getting nauseous, so the anesthesiologist gave me some medicine for that and it subsided, then i started to panic, i felt like i couldnt breath and was just very uncomfortable, so he gave me some medicine for that. i thought david would get to come in after that, but the drs came in and started cutting me and then david got to come in. he got to see my insides, and he likes to tell everyone about it, not that he particularly enjoyed seeing them. but he was there with me while they pulled her out, and he said when they pulled her out she was all purple and we didnt hear any crying. but i guess its common for csection babies because they arent squeezed thru the birth canal that they have fluid in their lungs, so the nurses started working on her and i heard all kinds of suctioning and then i heard her start squealing, and of course i just wanted to see her. they got her all cleaned up and just let me get a glimpse of her face and they took her to the nicu for monitoring because of the fluid. not that i coulve held her or anything. i was sooo out of it from the drugs. david had to leave the room with abby. so the finished stitching me up and then moved me to recovery. i was soo out of it, but my bed was right by the nursery windows, so i remember hearing all of our family getting to see her for the first time, that was really sweeet, i just wish i couldve been with them. i finally got moved to my own room after i was able to feel my feet and legs a little. i didnt get to see abby until 9 that night, but it was worth the wait. we were both healthy and she immediately latched on for her first nursing, which was a great relief to me. i got to keep her in my room the whole time, and i had the room to myself, so it was easier to have guests in and out. i may not have liked the effects of the anesthesia, but im just thankful that i have a sweet healthy little girl on this side of the world. she is such a blessing to us all and i cant describe the love i have for her and ben. theres nothing like being a mother, especially to 2 of the most beautiful children in the WORLD!!! haha. oh and i forgot, for those of you who dont know, abby weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs!!! and like i said, i was pretty out of it from the anesthesia, but i remember when they pulled her out everyone was like "whoa look at the umbilical cord! its huge!" haha! i guess the bigger the baby, the bigger the umbilical cord.
abby is 6 weeks old today and healthy and growing. shes soo beatiful, and im excited to say that her eyelashes are growing growing, so i think she will definitely be able to compete with her brother in that area, haha! i also had my 6 weeks checkup today and everything is fine with me too. my body has healed and bounced back a whole lot faster than i coulve imagined.
my sweet benjamin turned 4 years old last week!! where has the time gone?? it seems like just yesterday he was the new little baby in this house. its kind of shocking to hold him after holding abby, hes not my baby anymore, hes my lanky little boy. it kinda makes me sad, but at the same time it makes me thankful because he too is a healthy little boy, and we all know the health issues he has struggled with.
well, i think i will finish this post for now. i will try my hardest to update as much as possible, but having 2 little ones leaves me very little time to myself!

just waiting
Wow, I didnt realize it had been so long since i posted last. We've been semi busy, nothing super exciting. David has been fitting in some off roading trips the past couple weekends, and im glad he's been able to because he just really enjoys it...except when he breaks stuff...but even then he still usually has a good time. Ben has gone with him once or twice but Ive stayed home or have had other things to do.
I had a baby shower at church 2 weekends ago. There were about 20 women there, some i knew and some i just recognized, so it was really special to me that women who didnt even know me came. It was really neat because while we were snacking on some delicious food made by a couple of the women, everyone went around and told about themselves and gave me some advice on being a mother either to multiple children or to daughters specifically. It was just really sweet. I got some really cute clothes, accessories, etc. (or i guess i should say Abby did). I have a couple pictures of the decorations and everything but i honestly dont know where my camera is and im gonna be lazy right now and not go looking for it. But, just to get a little mental image, there was lots of pink, flowers, balloons, and just really cute stuff.
Today was a tiresome day. I had a dr's appt. this morning. From what he told me last week, i thought he was going to set an induction date for next week...well, he decided to not do that. My cervix just isnt thinning out like he wants it to, so for now, im still pregnant! hah! Im not miserable though, thank goodness, but im definitely getting bigger and bigger every day and it makes it hard to sleep well and really just to get around very well. My next appt. is on tuesday, so hopefully i will have started to dilate at least a little. Its hard though, because with Ben i knew when i was going to have him so mom was able to be here, but this time its just a matter of not really knowing what my body is doing and we cant really plan like we want to, but i just have to keep reminding myself that God knows best!
Besides my dr. appt. this morning, we had to have the bug man come and spray the house and yard. I needed to have my quarterly service anyways, and wanted to get it done before Abby was born, but I also found a flea in the house. I only saw one, but i want to be safe rather than sorry. We dog sat my mother in laws dogs a couple weeks ago and appearantly they had gotten fleas, but we of course didnt know that until after the fact. There are some stray cats that like to hang out on the side of our house, so were assuming thats where it all started. So anyways, we had to have the house sprayed for that too, and when they spray for fleas you have to stay out of the house for 5 hours. The bug man didnt get here till 2, so ben and i went and had a late lunch at carls jr and he got to play for a while. Then we went to the mall and walked around and he did some of the little rides. I did buy Abby an adorable little bathing suit that i had my eye on, and it was 50% off plus i had a coupon, score! Haha, now im just ready for that little girl to get here so i can see it on her! After that we went and took david some dinner and then i drove Ben around for a little while so he would fall asleep and take a little nap (he was starting to get grouchy) and he did, but then he woke up pretty grouchy. So we went back to the shop and hung out with David and Ben got to drive his truck in the dirt and he was in a better mood. But all in all, im pretty tired. I busted my booty yesterday to get the house clean for the bug man and was tired from that on top of not being able to relax in my own home for most of the day today. Oh well, I dont have anything else planned for this week...unless miss abby decides to make her appearance, which i wouldnt be one bit disappointed.
Well, i think that pretty much catches up the main things going on. Ill post again after my next dr. appt. or if something exciting happens.

Allergies
Well, I took Ben for his allergy testing this morning...It went ok. They did a scratch test on his back, which is just little pricks of the stuff on his back. He kinda fussed and squirmed, but never went just bonkers. After the nurse was done putting it all on his back they gave it 15 minutes or so and thats when he started getting uncomfortable, he wanted to scratch it, but we kept him as preoccupied as possible. The results are pretty overwhelming...but I think i was expecting it because it didnt surprise me too much. They rate stuff by 4 being the highest and adding a + or multiple + depending on how allergic he is, so here are the results...
4+'s - peanuts (already knew)
wheat (i was highly suspecting this)
walnuts
corn (he said this is a pretty common allergy)
eggs (thought he had outgrown that, guess not)
yeast (there goes all his baked goods)
3+s - soy(hah! i was kinda shocked! and he didnt have a milk allergy)
mold
most grasses, bermuda being the worst and st. augustine being the best
trees (olive trees (which give off the most pollen in the desert) ash tree (which is common
down here) and mulberry (which we have in our yard))
So, those were the biggies. And big they are. But i had already started leaning towards the idea of him having a wheat allergy. He said it would be hard to change his diet, but he did give us a plan. He told me to put ben on zyrtec every day. Its like 1/2 tsp a day, mainly to help with the outdoor allergies but also to see if that alone would help him with the food allergies too without having to alter his diet to significantly. So, Im supposed to do that for 2 weeks and if thats not making a big change, then alter the diet (no baked goods, nothing with corn, which includes corn syrup, etc.) and then 2 weeks after that he said we could introduce 1 new thing and see how much of an impact it has on him and go from there. So im not totally overwhelmed. We have other options besides bread (rice, potatoes...) and taking that nasty corn syrup out of his diet sure wont hurt and would be a good change for all of us. He enjoys his fruits and vegies thank goodness and then he can eat meats.
The other good news is that he will almost certainly outgrow these, with the exception of peanuts. He said we will probably see a big difference by the time hes 7 and all the way till hes probably 17 or so. So there is hope!
That's my news from the doctor. I'm going to make a shopping trip this evening by myself so i can read ingredients (im going to start taking as much wheat, yeast, and corn products out now). I also found out that some girls from church are going to throw me a baby shower on the 16th! Im excited! But one of them told me i needed to go register for more stuff, so im gonna go to Burlington Baby Depot and Macys to register for more fun stuff, so i guess that offsets the label reading at the grocery store. I will keep you updated on our progress with all of this.
