<- my eyes are kinda open uncle Roni!

so roni, I don't know how much you wanna know about my surgery but I'll describe as much of it as I can remember. I came into the hospital on a Saturday(12-4-10) for a headache, they gave me some really strong pain medicine for it but it didn't take it away. any time your having a baby and sick your baby doctor takes care of you. so he ordered me a shot of some more pain medicine to be placed in my hip. he told me that I would be talking out of my mind, and that i would be real sleepy. well i never once got sleepy, and i never talked outta my head.. haha he also ordered a cat scan of my brain to make sure I wasn't bleeding or any swelling was happening, once me and Kenny was on the way back up to the labor and delivery room I was like "watch them send me home, and I go into labor and end back up at the hospital" well while we was waiting on the results to come back I went into labor but couldn't feel it because of the pain medicine in my hip. the only way I knew it was because they had montiors on my stomach one for Chloe's heart beat, and one to measure my contractions. well my contractions were five mins apart so instead of going home, I got admitted to the hospital and my baby doctor induced my labor. I spent a total of 23 hours in labor and never progressed like he wanted me to and then I ended up getting a real high fever of 102.3 so he came in and said we've got to do something you can't go any longer like this. well that only left the option of having surgery and I really didn't want that but had no choice I was so tired I couldn't even hold my head up, if I wanted anything Kenny or mom had to help me. which they took all my food rights away about 30 mins before I went into surgery. it took them about 25 mins to prep me for surgery.. made me drink some stuff, and made me wear a lil blue cap. then the time finally came when they wheeled me into the OR (operating room) I was scared outta my mind, they had Kenny sit in the recovery room while they finished getting me ready. once in the OR they put me on the table which hurt real bad because my epidural had wore off and I could feel every pain coming and going.. they rolled me from side to side then set me up.. by this time I was crying and my doctor asked me what was wrong and I was like I'm hurting and he goes were at? and I was like all over.. he told me to hang on and all the pain would be gone. while I was sitting their the anesthesiologist numbed my back and then placed a needle into my back which stayed in place until surgery was over. after the needle was placed he put some medicine in it that numbed me from my stomach down. I was so numb I couldn't even lift my legs.. after this they helped me lay down and my doctor went and got Kenny, he was able to sit beside my head the whole time. it took my doctor about 25 minutes to cut Chloe out and to give me seven layers of stitches and a layer of staples.. (which I got out today) I feel asleep in surgery and the anesthesiologist woke me up right before she was born so I could kinda watch from the light above me. they had a sheet over me so I wouldn't get dirty from everything the doctor was doing. I started crying once they brought Chloe over to me to see for the first time and the anesthesiologist whipped my tears away. after surgery I went to recovery for about 45 mins. I was shaking real bad and was pretty out of it from all the pain med. my doctor came in and talked to me for a little bit then left. I had so much pain medicine that they were scared to give me any more so right before they moved me to a room they gave me some more in my iv. they didn't want to give it to me right away because I had so much pain medicine that they were scared it would mess with my breathing. they finally moved me to a room and the next 18 hours I was on bed rest couldn't get up for anything.... anyway I better get I'll finish what happened next soon. consider this a story part one of however many.. haha. hope you are doing well!

<- Kenny Ready to go into surgery with me..

<-Chloe bug after she was born.

<- First time I seen my baby girl! yes I cried!
<- rubbin her little nose!

Hey! just thought I'd update real quick with a few pics of Chloe bug. she's doing good and growing! going to the doc tomorrow to get my staples out.. Kenny has to take me because I'm not allowed to drive for three weeks.. bummer huh.. that means where ever I need to go Kenny or mom has to take me. haha... it's pouring the snow outside! it's so bad that Kenny's work called it off for tomorrow! which means we get to spend another day together. I'll post more pics and more in detail about my surgery here soon. roni hope you have a great day god bless!

20 days =)

well doctors visit went well. Chloe is healthy, they guessed that she might weigh around 7 pounds.. I'm praying god will let me have her Thurs night after turkey dinner.. but it's all in Gods hands. I want to be able to be with my dad when he has his surgery for his cancer. the doctor I seen today said if I talked to my doctor I normally see that I might have a good possibility of being induce and having her early. but I'm praying god will let me go into labor on my own before that happens.
everyone is doing fine, actually had supper with mom and Dave and family. had a real nice time. well i am going to get off here and get ready for bed, sorry for a short update but going to try and get some rest. going to try to knock out as much homework as I can tomorrow. hope you are having a good week so far. You'll be in my prayers.

21 days = )

hey roni, sorry it's been forever since I've updated this thing. I'll try my best to do better about getting online more so we can chat. I miss the long days were we'd chat all the time.. before long Chloe will be here and I'll make sure I'll update with pictures of her so her uncle roni can see her! I actually have a doctors appointment tomorrow and I am hoping to know more about when she might be here if she is going to come early anyway. I seen your blog.. the storm looked pretty rough glad you are ok!! I keep you on my heart and think about you often so your never forgotten here in the states. this week is thanksgiving and lord only knows I have plenty to be thankful for! he's done so much for me within the last year... I'll make sure mom has a piece of turkey for you like always! i have two thanksgiving dinners to attend on the same day I'll be stuffed like the turkey.. haha (lame joke I know)
Dad returns to the doctor this week sometime, they are going to talk about treatment options for his cancer. they will pro cut it out and he'll be off work for a while. I love working for my dad, just spending time with his means everything in the world to me. just this past Friday we went to Burger King to get some breakfast and dad ordered a cup of coffee and the lady in the drive Thur asked how many was in the car dad said "two and half" I laughed so hard! just knowing that he counted the baby.. we ended up getting two free cups of coffee because it was free coffee Friday.. I could go on but I'll spare you and me. especially me before I turn the water works on and cry cause of him being sick.
here is a link of little Chloe's room, me and mom finished it this week..
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2207489&id=210612743&l=38e437f6f9.

below is the words to a song that I have found to be of help these last few weeks. I believe it has become one of my favorites.

I Can Trust Jesus
Verse 1
God picked up a sparrow that could no longer fly
He brushed off its wounds and then watched it soar into the sky
If He’s mindful of creation, on this I can depend
I am His child and I can place all my trust in Him

Chorus
I can trust Jesus, I can trust Jesus
He never once has failed to meet my needs
He is my strong tower, the strength in my weakest hour
I can trust Jesus, He takes care of me

Verse 2
I have prayed some prayers and felt they never were heard
But I held to God’s hand and kept right on trusting in His word
My wants and God’s desires don’t always agree
But I lean on His will for He always knows what’s best for me.

Roni I hope you find the song helpfull!
gonna get off here before I fall asleep. gotta get up early and pack kenny's lunch for work and then clean up the house a little bit then head off to the doctor. well update with what I find out.

Baby Chloe

I got mom for her birthday a couple of pictures of Chloe and put them in picture frames for her. she really liked them. I quit my job about two weeks ago. I now work for dad until I start sub-teaching at the local schools around my town. that should pick up before too much longer. wished they would hurry and call. I'm 26 weeks as of today ( 9-5-10) only 14 weeks left until the baby is here.. goodness it doesn't seem possible. just seems like yesterday that I was telling everyone I was going to have a baby. Kenny can not wait until she gets here. he talks to her all the time when he's home. one day I came home from some where and he was like "theirs my girls" it's sweet. I tried to get onto messenger but it's being stupid. school is going great so far just wished I could wiggle my nose and all my work be finished. it's a lot of work so far.. mainly reading and summaries. which I hate, ugh. at the end of the month I have to have to drink this stuff and then have my blood taken.. oh joy! not.. haha me, mom, Kenny, and some other family members are planning a trip to gatlinburg for a weekend here soon. can not wait for a weekend get away. me and Kenny have not been to gatlinburg since he asked me to marry him back in December. we are going down to see the leaves on the trees. it is turning fall so they are changing colors. anyway better get off here and get on with some more of this homework.. wished it was finished.

I am so glad to be out of the hospital, I couldn't have made it without God, my hubby, and mom being their the whole time. We had an awesome church service last night!! God moved in a wonderful way! we had a guest preacher and he was preaching about a hunted house and what was your ghost? was it high blood pressure, stroke, or even a bad heart? it was an awesome church service!

I can't wait! ( we are at mom's house right now)

Hospital.

well it has been a very interesting week.... Monday I was at work and was real bad sick. could not keep anything down, not even water. It was so bad that my brother sent me home after lunch. boy was I ever glad! came home and finally got to rest a little bit but as the day wore on I seem to get worse and worse. so I called mom and told her I felt half dead and she said get up here now your going to the ER. so once I arrived at the ER it took them about an hour to get me back into a room. well no sooner then I changed into the hospital gown and laid down here they came to make me give a urine sample, take blood, start an Iv, and take my temp which was 99.8 ...they gave me one bag of iv fluids in the ER and the next thing I know they come back take my vitals and sent me upstairs to stay the night which turned into a two night deal. they checked my gall bladder and it was good I thought they was going to have to take it out but thank goodness they didn't. I ended up getting a total of five bags of Iv fluids, my gall bladder checked, and I had a kidney infection. goodness it has never felt so good to have the stupid iv outta my arm.. I couldn't bend my arm or the stupid pump would start beeping.. haha! it started going off one night and Kenny thought I had bent my arm so their he was checking my arm. He has been a real blessing and a trooper just being with me at the hospital. he'd help me to the bathroom cause I had to take the iv pump with me every where I went, and he'd rub my arm, hold my hand... it was sweet.. You could see the look of being worried on his face. anyway I'm gonna get off here and take it easy for a while. doctors said to take it easy the next few days and to only do things as I could tolerate them. the doctors also said I should be out of the woods with this whole sickness thing in about two weeks. he said it was because where I was so little that it just over took my body and it was more then I could handle.

well I think I am going to buy a boat. it has rained so much that areas around here are starting to flood.. it has stormed all day long. this morning we went to church sung two songs and my pastor walked up outta his office and told us he was going to dismiss church cause their was tornadoes all around us. i am thinking about singing "rain rain go away come again another day" lol okay onto something brighter... I finished both of my classes today, yes both of them. no more homework for...... a week at least. that is if I take the summer class.. I still haven't fully decided yet. oh and this Tuesday I go to the baby doctor again and I'll get to see the little one.. i told Kenny I felt like I had visiting rights to my own child since I only seen it when I was at the doctors. this Friday I am graduating from college.. I won't be all the way finished but I'll be pretty close. anyway i guess i better get off here and get ready for bed gotta work in the morning, I am praying for a fast day so I can come home! but then again I might be spending the day building an ark...

baby Pics!

here is the link to my first ultrasound of the baby! the little heart was just getting with it. I couldn't hear the heart beat but I could see it on the screen! I didn't get to hear it this time but next time I go I will hopefully. it's so small. only measured .33 cm from the head to the baby's little bottom. my official due date is 12/12/10.
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=34691450&l=cd3ab2b1e9&id=210612743

I have been really really sick! for the past few days I couldn't keep anything down not even water. the doctor even gave me some medicine for it and it wouldn't even stay down. I'm slowly starting to get energy back. I got dehydrated doctor said if I didn't improve he was going to put me in the hospital and give me iv fluids. every one has been worried about me. the baby however is healthy and nothing to worry about. the doctor said that the sicker I was the healthier the pregnancy was. anyway gonna get off here and try to clean up around the house.. I've been pretty lazy since I've been sick.. laid on the couch all day Monday and Tuesday and part of today. my poor hubby needs so work clothes washed.. so I better get busy and try to get a few washed for him.

well, the baby is growing.. I'm starting to get a little belly.. = D I can't wait for the little thing to get here... right now I'm ready for the next three months to be over with.. this morning sickness is getting OLD! I guess the baby thinks mommy likes being sick... well I don't! but it'll be worth it in the end when I'm holding my baby. Kenny's cousin came over to stay the night with us Saturday night, and he came to church with us this morning... Roni keep us in your prayers we are trying to find a house before the baby gets here. right now we don't have any where to put the little thing. sorry its taken me so long to up date been busy with doctor visits. the baby will be here on Dec 14, just in time for Christmas. I can't wait.

Exciting news!!

well our Internet has been down at home all week long.. hope they will have it fixed before too much longer. getting tired of not having it...
so... our first little baby will be here in about 9 months!!! he wants a boy, I want a girl. haha but then as long as it's healthy, I don't care. I can not wait to get my first ultrasound pic of the baby!! better yet, I can't wait to hold the little bundle of Joy! Kenny better watch out, this poor baby will be spoiled before it even gets here!! I can't wait to go shopping and buy it a little out fit!! My dreams are coming true!! I really do serve an awesome God!! I'm going to see the in-laws tonight and I'm sure they will want to rub my belly eps. his mom.. she's excited. their first grand baby!

today has been a real nice day. it warmed up so nice today, I took my niece out side and let her play why I cleaned out the jeep. had the windows up and the door opened letting in all the nice fresh air. = D I am so glad that Saturday is spring. I can not wait until its warm all the time. counting down the days until vacation. going out west with mom this year. it will be special because it will be Kenny's first time seeing the Arizona desert. I can't wait for him to see it. i know he will LOVE it since he's an outdoors kinda guy. right now he is playing the guitar and I am waiting for the ball game to come back on. stupid half time. I am not looking forward to work tomorrow. I dread it. I told my friend today that I almost wished that I would get the 24 hour bug so I wouldn't have to go. I turned in my application to start subbing at the local school here where I live. If they call I'll be able to sit in for teachers who couldn't make it to school. I really hope I can start doing this because I can make more doing that than i can at my current job. Kenny and I are planning on going to Nashville Tennessee this weekend he wants to get some more hunting stuff and he is going to buy me some camouflage. lol he's trying to get me to start hunting.. I might go with him this year.. guess we'll see. well I guess I am going to get off here. the games back on.

hey roni, I hope you are doing well. I have been praying for you as mom has been also. I miss our chats we have during the day!! been real busy with stuff around the house and such. I had to get new tires for Kenny's car today which took a little while, and I'm still in the process of changing my name every where.. that takes for ever! well my hubby is getting outta the shower so.. we are gonna sit around and pro watch a movie or something before we head off to bed.

hey roni! just a quick update... waiting on my clothes to get dry so I can head to bed.. I am tired!! we went and seen Kenny's mom and dad and we didn't get in till late. I just sent my hubby to bed, he's sick and doesn't feel good. wished he felt better.. I tucked him in and kissed him good night.. even though when I go to bed I have to wake him up. he's the best thing that has happened to me in the world and I wouldn't change anything about my life. below are some random pictures from the weekend. we went to mill springs and hung out. Sunday afternoon everyone from the youth group came over and played music.. it was different having people over at my own house.. haha!!

Guess I'm going to get off here and check my clothes.. I wished they would hurry up and dry so I can go to bed.

so I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past month.. not in a bad way but in a good positive way. I have come to the realization that I am one person that has been blessed way beyond any means.. looking back over my life the past few years I've had my share of ups and downs. I've had my share of heartaches that no one could ever imagine and I would never wish it on anyone. The pain of thinking you'll never have that "special someone" in your life, or you'll never have a family. I remember walking out of church when my pastor would preach about finding that spacial someone, or preaching a service about mothers. I remember crying myself to sleep, or crying until I just simply couldn't cry anymore. I learned to deal with the pain of seeing "couples" together walking around or out to eat. I would pray to God every night "I can't take it any more" and I'd be okay for a day or so then back to rock bottom I would go. after a while I just started telling the devil to leave me alone, that I wasn't going to let him hold it in my face any longer. and slowly started moving on. Kenny started coming to church off and on for the last year or so with his best friend Mark. a few people at church was like "talk to him, he seems like a nice feller" but I just couldn't let myself take that step. I still had the "what ifs" in the back of my mind. after about 3 months or so Kenny hadn't been back to church for a while and I started thinking about Kenny and wanting to talk to him. but I gave up on it because he hadn't been at church for so long. I thought to myself that I would probably never see him again. but then that all changed, I got to church and was walking up to the door (I never really pay that much attention to who is at church) and not to far from the door was Kenny. the first thing he said was "hi" and we walked in and that was it until after church. he followed me in the tape room at church to talk to me.. which I later found out was to ask for my phone number but chickened out. he followed me around for two weekends where ever I'd go out to eat that's where Kenny would be. I started thinking he likes me and was wishing he'd ask for my number.. come to find out mom ended up giving him my number. she just came out and asked him if he wanted it. of course he said yes.from their it was history, a happy ending to a terrible past two years. even thinking over the things Kenny has told me that has happened in his life. He used to be in the army, he was what is called a paratrooper. a paratrooper jumps out of helicopters several thousand feet in the air. he had orders to be deployed across seas to jump when he finished his training and after his graduation from boot camp. the thing that saved him was a dream someone had in his family. they dreamed that on his first jump he would be killed. about a week before he was to graduate they sent Kenny to the doctors to be checked over (they did this with every one graduating) and come to find out Kenny had a heart mummer and couldn't finish his training and sent him home right away. If it hadn't been for his family praying that God would work it out to where he could come home I might have never met my Husband. it just blows my mind that the things Mitch gave me a hard way to go on such as moving, invitations, colors, and hurting my feelings Kenny had done the complete opposite. He moved, never fussed about what date we wanted to get married on, he was completely fine with the colors I picked and he even lets me have my way on things in the house and how I want things and where I want things. he is truly one of the greatest guys God could have ever blessed me with and I truly don't deserve him but I am so thankful God seen fit to give him to me.

He Knows My Name:
Verse 1
He counts the stars one and all
He knows how much sand is on the shores
He sees every sparrow that falls
He made the mountains and the seas
He's in control of everything
Of all creatures great and small

Chorus
And He knows my name
Every step that I take
Every move that I make
Every tear that I cry
He knows my name
When I'm overwhelmed by the pain
And can't see the light of day
I know I'll be just fine
'Cause He knows my name

Verse 2
I don't know what tomorrow will bring
I can't tell you what's in store
I don't know a lot of things
I don't have all the answers
To the questions of life
But I know in whom I have believed

Chorus

He knew who I was when He carried my cross
He knew that I would fail Him but He took the loss

Chorus

Every step that I take
Every move that I make
Every tear that I cry

Kenny is pretty worried about him. I have been also. my finger is doing a lot better, its starting to heal and it is itching me pretty bad at times i just want to cut my finger off so i don't have to deal with it.. lol I'm only teasing. mom called me the other night and asked if I was done playing house and asked if i wanted to come home. haha!! she must really miss me. well my hubby is outta the shower and is heading to bed so I guess I better get their myself or he'll be up waiting on me... he says he can't sleep unless I am next to him.. : )

Verse 3:
Arms that will raise a voice that can talk hands that can touch and legs that can walk ears that can listen eyes that can see oh I've got to praise Him as long as I breathe I have been blessed

Chorus:

Verse 5:
We live in a country the greatest on earth our flag stands for freedom and what it is worth she stands in the harbor Miss Liberty calls all have gave some but some have gave all for me to be blessed

Verse 6:
He's my shoulder to lean on when I am down the rock where He leads me when I'm overwhelmed the place where He hides me under His wings He's not just a song He's the reason I sing I have been blessed

Chorus:

I've been sick since Saturday night.. ugh I'm so ready to get over it. oh well.. i do like it when Kenny takes care of me tho = D ... oh funny story that happened yesterday.. I was taking a nap on the couch and woke up to a strange noise.. looked around and found Kenny fishing in the house.. haha he was practicing his trowing for fly fishing. goodness..I should have took a pic. then he started playing around and doing his martial arts .. he must have been really board. I love him to death!! married life is going great, couldn't ask for a better hubby.. can't wait until he's off from work.. I miss him terribly when he isn't around. well i better get off here and get ready to go see his family tonight. oh we now have Internet so I should be updating regularly now.

I am now Mrs. Brown!

<-our rings!

hey roni! hope you are doing well. at moms house getting some more of my stuff and thought I would update real quick. I tried to look at your blog but it wouldn't let me.

Got to get going, have to pack for tonight and finish washing clothes. we are going to see his parents tonight and he has banjo lessons. roni we don't have Internet at the house yet but I am going to try and work on getting it.

12 days and counting until I'm Mrs. Brown.

so, I have been really busy with working and wedding planning. we had two wedding showers this weekend! we got so much stuff we don't know where to put it all. haha guess I'll be rearranging and rearranging until I get it where I want it. since Kenny doesn't seem to mind. all he wanted was our spare bedroom to his own which he calls "the man layer" (even though some of my clothes are in the closet.) he has his deer heads on the wall, and fishing stuff in the closet. the rest of the house is mine to do what I want with. I will be posting pictures of our house before to much longer. waiting until its the way I want it. I can't wait to be living their all the time, and being home when Kenny gets off. he is the best, and I could not thank God enough for sending him to me. we had a guest preacher this weekend at church and he was preaching on Job and waiting on God. I thought back to my rough times and how it didn't seem I could wait any longer and when I gave up and decided to move on God put Kenny in my path. before me and Kenny was engaged or even talking I was trying to get my friend to tell him I was interested in him and to tell him to come back over to church. well no one would tell him, and he was telling me the other day that one Saturday morning when he was getting ready to leave for work that he got this really strong feeling that he should come to church.. he said he went back inside grabbed some clothes for church and left for work. that same night he walked into the tape room to ask for my phone number but chickened out and just started talking to me.. its odd how waiting on God can change what seems to be a hopeless situation into the best thing that ever happened to you. I am truly the happiest person alive. starting Tuesday this week I will be going with my honey every week to his banjo lessons and staying the night with his family, then coming home on Wednesday morning. I will be dropping him off, and picking him up from work. which I dont mind at all, which means I get to see him sooner when he gets off. = ]

19 days and counting until I'm Mrs. Brown!!!

Hey roni, so nice for you to be back on blogger. we have been super busy working on wedding preparations and such. it is coming along nicely tho and can not wait for the next 19 days to go by. I sure wish the wedding was tomorrow. I'm enjoying the last few days here at home with mom and packing really makes it real. Kenny is honestly the best guy a girl could ever hope for. we moved some of my summer clothes to the apartment and hung some pictures up. tomorrow I plan on packing some more things to take down there. this coming weekend we are having two wedding showers which means we'll get a ton more stuff to put away, its starting to feel like a home. will post pictures of it once we get it all set up and fixed the way we want. starting tomorrow I go back to school ugh I am so not looking forward to that at all. <- us waiting for our marriage licences..
