Easter week

I hope this Easter weekend is treating everyone well. This past week has been long and hard. we took Isabelle to the hospital twice. She was really congested and had a cough so bad that she would start gagging then throwing up mucus. It was scary. We went to the hospital the first time around 6 in the morning on Tuesday  and were released at around 12 with them saying it was just a bad respiratory virus. That night at around 2 she woke up gagging again and was burning up. I checked her temperature and it was a 105!!!! I gave her some Motrin then took her back in... where they did absolutely nothing. They gave her some Tylenol and gave me a Powerade to force down her ( basically the same thing I would have done at home). They said babies and small children can handle those high of temperatures and to only worry when they are lethargic, wont wake up, or won't stop screaming. I have decided that hospitals are only good in really life threatening situations sigh. She is still feeling sick, but nowhere near as bad.

I am doing well in the pregnancy side of things. I am about to hit the third trimester in a couple days. My belly feels huge and is always in the way ha ha. I love it though. Being pregnant really is such a miraculous thing. I can't believe I only have a couple months until I meet Gracelyn!!! I am still doing good with the workouts. Having one of my besties, Deana (Who is only 10 days ahead of me in her pregnancy) as a workout partner really helps. The exercising  has made such a difference in this pregnancy. Hopefully I will be able to stay active until the end!!

We will be going to church with my family tomorrow and then having dinner with Ben's brothers family!!! I can't wait. My sister in law is an amazing cook!
What are your plans for Easter Sunday?

Have you ever made fried green tomatoes?! We love them!!

I can't peel hard boiled eggs for the life of me, so when I saw a trick on pinterest I had to try it!! You poke a pin sized hole in one of the ends. I used a small nail and a hammer. Let me tell you ,cracking eggs has never been so fast or easy. The shells came off perfect. Ben could tell you how excited I was. I saved him an egg to crack ha ha.



The rollers I got a few weeks ago are working out great!! They are so easy. I don't use any product and the curls still stay great!!!


I am not sure why I always remember to have Ben take pictures before the gym and not when I am cute. Here you go though. 25 weeks!!! YAY!!



The Hubby's shirts are getting worn more and more around here ...

Clean  babies are my favorite :]

  1. High sweetheart, I am so sorry about my great niece having so many health issues. You know what, when it came to high fevers and a baby I liked the Hospital on Mesa and University's emergency room. Have they checked her for an ear infection? Also, I think you said you have a humidifier in her room, but she may need a form of breathing treatment to keep that loose and than put her over your lap and tap on her back firmly to make her spit it out. For your security text me your new address. I love you all, and I'm glad your pregnancy is doing so much better. Aunt Faye
