Really Three years already

Three years, really, time flies way way to fast. So Ethan today is your birthday( which I will post pictures later) Dad took off of work and we went shopping, Chuck E Cheese, opened presents, had cake and got lots of phone calls from family who love you. Your Aunt Sha and Uncle Napo and cousin Aaron came from New Orleans and surprised us all. ( I did not expect to see them at the door, and I said Alicia please do not deliever that baby here, HAHA) I cant believe it has been three years ago that you entered into our little family. You have changed our lives ever since. I am so blessed to be your mother. You woke up today singing happy birthday to yourself and you love that it is your birthday. Here are the three top reasons why I love my E Man, My E Guarantee Man, CHEWEY, or just E,
1. you are always so concerned for others feelings, If you think I am sad you jump on my lap and hug me and ask mom you ok and kiss my cheek.
2. You love to share, you always make sure Myron has what you have.
3. You are truly my lucky charm, not only were you born at 12:01 am March 17, but you were Green due to meconium that you just could not hold in until after you were born.

Oh E I love you so much!!!!!!

WE ARE HAVING A........

All I can say is yes there is no guessing, that is definitely a boy, haha. Well baby boy # 3 is coming our way, I cant believe I am half way done with this pregnancy. I was thrilled when we were told another boy. How easy I have everything I need, the only thing needed a car seat, a stroller and swing. The only thing I am nervous about is PUPPPS!! Please not with number three. We only have one month to see if it will occur. I was asked if I was sad that we were not having a girl. No not really, I just want a healthy baby. Yes having a girl and do girly things with would be fun, but I really do love my boys. Like Craig once said, " You are a boy mom" haha. A dear friend of my family came in town last week and we went to the movies and sat around and talked. She is the mother of four boys. All four served missions, all so far have chosen beautiful young women to take to the temple. It was reassuring to see her sons call and text her through out the evening. I told her that is how I am going to be, I am always going to talk to my boys. She told her sons future wifes, I will always call my boys and that she does. So Baby Boy Blane Ryan Nelson will arrive in July. Can not wait to meet him. Myron and Ethan were so excited when we were told its a boy then Myron looked at the xray tech and said NO I want a girl. haha. Oh and more good news my bleeding is gone. I will go back in four weeks for one more ultrasound and a dr's visit. SO today is a great day!!!!! WE LOVE YOU BLANE!!!

Happy Bday My Guy

( i know some are wondering why i have this picture in the mix, so let me share. If you know Ethan he loves I mean loves to eat. I always tell Craig that he is going to make us go broke. So tonight while I was cooking dinner I heard laughter coming from our pantry. I open the door and this is what I found Ethan in the pantry. haha I was laughing soo hard, I just had to get a picture. )

So on January 18th Myron turned 4! His birthday fell on MLK day so Craig took the day off and we went to the zoo. We invited Liah to come with us and as soon as she got in the car Ethan said "I love you Liah" haha two years old and he has his first crush. It was a beautiful day, the animals were all out and active. We ended our zoo trip with a ride on the train ( cant go to the zoo and not ride the train. haha After the zoo we came home and had cake and ice cream with the grandparents and opened gifts. Oh Myron I cant believe how fast time flies. It seems like yesterday I was at my dr visit ( i started having contractions there) she sends me home. I told your daddy I was not up to cooking so he stops by his favorite philly steak place for a sub, then off to home. I was watching American Idol when momo and aunt sha came by to pay me a visit. Thanks goodness they did because I WAS IN PAIN. Momo was like I dont know if you are in labor, finally after not being able to handle the pain dad took me to the hospital and at 10:51 you came into my world. I have loved every second since your arrival. You are an amazing person. You teach me so much.
4 reasons why I love my MY

2. He loves church and he loves Jesus. He loves sharing the story of the prophet Joseph Smith and loves having FHE.

You are your daddy's clone looks and personailty.

Happy Anniversary!!! 5 years!!!!

WOW!!! 5 years really. Where has the time gone? We celebrated our 5 year anniversary on January 8. We went and had a fabulous dinner at Zea's in Town Centre, then we went shopping. We talked, laughed,and shared memories. It was a great and relaxing evening, thanks to mom and Aunt Sha who watched the boys for us. I am so thankful to Craig and all that he does. He is my best friend and to me that is important. He is leaving on Wednesday to fly out to AZ for a dental interview and this is only the second time we have been apart since marriage. I know he will do great. So I have made a list of the top 5 reasons why I love this man.

#1. His love for the gospel. He is steadfast and his testimony is solid.
#2. He is an amazing dad. The boys can not wait everyday for dad to get home because he goes straight into there room and plays with them or takes them outside to play. He helps me without me having to ask. Changes diaper, baths, cleans house, does dishes, takes trash out. He is truly a partner and we are equal.
#3. Always postive. He always sees the good in all. Always thinks before he speaks. Never lies always truthful.
#4. Hard Worker. Goes beyond and then some to take care and support our family. I am so lucky and get to stay home with our boys and he would not have it anyother way. We have been blessed that I have not had to go back to work for more income we always are blessed with what we need. His reply, we have the best insurance policy, we pay our tithing. The first thing he does with his paycheck writes a check for tithing. His faith in tithing as truly strengthed mine.
#5. I love the way he loves me!!! I am a far scream from the above pictures, and he still makes me feel as beautiful as the day we married. He always tells me he loves me, tells me how beautiful I am, tells me I am a good mom, he loves my cooking, and he always tells me he loves how I decorate his home and all the effort I do to keep it clean. He appericates all I do.

Craig I love you, thank you for blessing my life and I can not wait to see where the next five years take us. Thank you for the greatest thing in my life, they are my life, my children. I am proud to be Mrs. Craig Hyrum Nelson. I love you!!!!

Baby Update

So we went to the doctor yesterday and had an ultrasound. I am 13 weeks along and the ultrasound tech did not try to guess the sex since it is still too early. I still have hemorrhaging which has shrunk, but the dr wants it gone before I give birth. If not then most likely it will cause my water to break early. Then the dr looked at my ultrasound and said I think this might be a girl, so next time you come in I am going to bring the ultrasound machine in and do an ultrasound myself and find the sex and check on your hemmorrhaging. I have to go every three weeks to the doctor. I really like my doctor and she wants me to have a girl. She has two boys the same ages as mine and she wants another, but she wants another boy, I just want a healthy baby. My mom is dying for a girl and my Meme is actually praying for one. haha. Craig says he doesnt produce girls, so for that very comment, I would not mind having a girl. Myron and Ethan came with us to the ultrasound and the baby was actually waving "her" hand. It was amazing, Myron waved back and told her to come out. He is very excited for the baby. Then on the way home Craig and I were talking about the sex of the baby we were not fighting or yelling just joking around then Myron says " shh lets think about Jesus." Craig and I looked at each other and said ok, then he said I love him. What a sweet moment. So I have decided to keep a book of all the cute quotes they both say and have them for when they get older.

Happy Thanksgiving ( A Little Late)

YES SIR!! Well we have been knowing for awhile that we were expecting a baby. We finally told our families on Thanksgiving Day. It was a fun surprise. For awhile I knew that we needed to have another one. This little spirit was pulling on my heart strings to get here. I feel so blessed to be able to get pregnant with no problems while others try their whole life. I can not imagine the way those women feel but make no mistake my heart aches for them. It was a great Thanksgiving good food, games, and YES NEW MOON!!!! Then on Wednesday it was my birthday. We were going to my parents house for dinner and games. Alicia came over and it was decorated so beautiful. But on the way their has soon as we pulled into their driveway I felt a big gush. I knew what it was, so I walked in saw how beautiful everything was, went to the bathroom and came out. I started crying. Yes I was bleeding and now cramping pretty bad. Craig took me to Womens hospital. I loved my nurse Niki. We talked I tried not to worry. Before I left, Craig, my dad and Napo gave me a blessing. I knew then that all would be well. We had to wait for an ultrasound, they wheeled me in and I can remember closing my eyes until I heard the tech say yes there is the baby. I looked up and saw the baby and saw the little heart beating. I felt so relieved. They sent me home and I bleed until the next day. I went to my doctor and again we saw the baby and the heartbeat. I have bleeding in between my urterus and the egg sac. The first thing my doctor told me was it was still very likely I can miscarry, but I have a good chance of having this baby. I have to go back on the 17 for another ultrasound and exam. I have to take it easy right now, but no bedrest. I know either way that all will be well. I can remember talking to my Mo Mo , who buried two sons one 9 and the other 16. We were at her trailer and we were talking about life. I told her she is amazing to me. I asked her how did she do it. Was it hard? Then she told me something that was engraving in my heart. Leanne, she looked at me with all the wisdom she possessed and said " the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh... he gives you the strength to accomplish his will has long as you are faifthful. He will never leave you... this I know" So that is how I feel with the problem that has presented itself this early in my pregnancy. I know that the Lord knows me he loves me his plans I can not see or understand, but I do have the faith. ALL WILL BE WELL!!!! I love my MOMO it make me so sad has the years progress to see her memory failing. I think it is the hardest thing to deal with right now. She is amazing, I told her one day that I cant imagine the boys growing up and leaving on their missions. I told her how I would miss them. She said OH LEANNE I never cried for my boys, I was too proud of them, I wanted them to leave and go where the Lord needed them. She is amazing and I am so blessed. I am Thankful this Thanksgiving for FRIENDS and FAMILY. I am truly blessed.
