My sick girl!

Well the day I left my last post was the day that my Rylie girl ended up getting very sick. She was very dizzy and because of her dizzy spells, she kept vomitting. We decided to wait it out thru the night and see how she was in the morning. Well the next day she was the same so we started driving to urgent care. Little did we know that the doctor would tell us to take her to the hospital for a ct scan, a bunch of tests and some iv fluids. She got a ct, a chest xray, blood work done and had to get her urine tested. Thank goodness she is old enough to pee in a cup because I so didn't want her to have to get a catheter. She did great through all the tests and cried during her iv but no screaming or anything. Overall she was such a trooper. They couldn't figure out what was going on with her although we all suspect a migraine. She was lethargic and dehydrated but once she was rehydrated via iv, she felt and acted sooo much better. Like our crazy Rylie again :). We had easter at my grandmas house with my cousins and in-laws that night and Rylie was spoiled as usual. Then we had easter dinner at my dad's with him and my stepmom's family. It was a fun night meeting everyone. Tedene's youngest daughter Adina has a daughter Zoey who was born 5 weeks after Audrey so we had lots of baby girls there. :) Rylie is doing great now so whatever that all was, I hope it doesn't happen again but if it does I will for sure make sure that kid stays hydrated!!

Audrey Elizabeth

Well it has been a very long time. Audrey was born on 1/22/12 at 1:44am. She weighed 8.4lbs and was 21.5 inches long. My labor was 8.5 hrs and it took 2 pushes and she was out. I had to get my epidural twice but all in all it was an easy labor. After she was delivered my placenta wouldn't detach so my dr had to pull it off which caused me to hemorrhage. It was very scary and took a long time to get it under control but the fabulous dr Perry finally did. Audrey had a lot of problems with weight loss from not eating and jaundice but after the first week, age started to do very well and is now a happy healthy 10 week old. Easter is this Sunday but we are celebrating it tomorrow with my grandma and inlaws and then going to my dads on Sunday to have Easter dinner with him and Tedenes family. For lent I decided to treat my body like a temple. At the beginning of lent I had lost 27 lbs since Audrey was born (I gained 8 with my pregnancy) and at the end of lent I've lost 8 more lbs making it a grand total of 35 lbs since Audrey was born. My goal is to loose 20 more lbs but I already weigh less then I did on my wedding day which feels great! I just eat all natural and very healthy. Not only to lose weight but to keep all my illnesses that I was unfortunately blessed with at bay without meds and to keep my immune system up and energy levels up since I don't get much sleep with Audrey not wanting to sleep at night. Lol. AJ has lost weight too, eats healthy and works out religiously. It's helped him in softball like no other. He can slam the ball now and run without feeling like he's going to die lol. I'm proud of him for working so hard. We are working on our backyard at the moment and our goal is to have it complete by the end of May and then our house will be complete!! We just bought a camping trailer and I can't wait to go on trips in it! Rylie is in love with it and wants to take it out so bad so we got out a calendar and set dates for this summer (weather permitting.. with Reno we never know haha). I have my mastectomy coming in a couple months but that will be in another blog when the date is set. It's going to be a journey. That seems all for now!
