Sweet Freedom

I went to the Doctor and I am off my restrictions which means the complication healed itself and I can now return to normal activity. What I didn't realize was my body would totally atrophy and become worthless. So now that I have my freedom returned I'm to tired to do anything with it. Ok I can't complain this is such a blessing it's just taking longer than I would like to get back to "normal" whatever that is when you're pregnant! Thanks again for all the prayers!

Hannahisms they just keep coming

So today I get into the car and sit down and Hannah says "mom do you think people will laugh at you when they see ketchup on your bum?" why would there be ketchup on my bum Hannah? Apparently she had found a stray ketchup packet (which on a side rant why do they have to give you 45 of those things for the 10 fry shards they throw at you?) in the van and not being much of a reader yet decided to open it up to see what was inside. In the process getting it all over my seat the seat next to me and the carport (honestly they hold way more then you think) lucky for me I had opted for the black capri's instead of the light tan ones so no Hannah nobody laughed at me, because they couldn't see it.

Baby update

Well I have a hard time "taking it easy" so I asked the doctor exactly what I could do, now I'm on house arrest he said "you can walk around the house and go to the grocery store". Thank heavens my mom and mother-in-law are close and many others have stepped in to help. On top of the drama that is my life, my husband works out of town Monday through Thursday every week. My kids have really stepped up as well so taking it easy hasn't been so bad. On a brighter note my doc said that if I don't have any bleeding for 2 weeks then he will give me some of my freedom back! I'm looking forward to that day! The gospel really is an amazing blessing in my life! I'm so thankful to have the Priesthood in my home. Jay and my dad gave me a blessing the other night and I really feel confident that as I listen to my doctor, and follow his counsel all will be well with this baby. Thanks to all who have been keeping us in your prayers there is indeed power in prayer!

Baby

Yesterday I spent half the day with the doctor getting freaked out because he couldn't find a heart beat. I spent the other half of the day getting an ultrasound and a very strong heart beat! Everything looks really great with the baby (yeah for those of you who didn't know number 5 is on the horizon March 21, 2009) but there is a little bleeding around the placenta so I have to "take it easy" so my trip up to the top of Mount Timp has been canceled on Saturday and I will not be water skiing tonight! Anyhow that is the update on the riley clan and should explain why my blog is suffering. I don't get really sick like some but I definitely feel crappy. Jay has been working out of town four days a week for the last 4 weeks and he takes my internet access with him so not great excuses but the truth anyhow hope all is well with everyone who reads this!

Scroll Down

I can't figure out how to get these in the right order so scroll to the bottom of today it will make more sense to read it from the bottom up!

These kids Rock!

Hayden got into the act and thought it would be a good idea to stand on the corner (like the t-mobile guy) waving traffic to the area with a cardboard arrow! He also agreed to set up their "sound system" and was paid a dollar for it!
