rainbow cake

Ok so I am dieing on bed rest. I have gotten pretty bored so I have been coming up with fun things to do. Ok so some of them cause me to get up but I am going into work for a little while tomorrow and I needed to get my energy back up. We started off the day with green eggs... they looked gross but my kids ate them all! I wanted to do something with Shayda's hair but I couldn't find any shamrock ideas that would work with her hair so I came up with my own. I am quite proud of myself with this idea haha. I also make green tuna fish sandwiches... Clete thought they looked bad but tasted good. I decided not to torcher them with any more food that looked gross so we had normal food for dinner. I also attempted to make a rainbow cake. Shayda wanted a strawberry cake so I tried to color pink cake mix with green and blue food coloring. It didn't work out so well. I know that I claim to be a cake decorator but I failed on this attempt. I also made a cool whip frosting which tasted so good with the cake that it didn't matter that it was ugly. All in all we had a great day! I love spending time with my kids... they have been so good to me while on bed rest. I just couldn't ask for better kids! Love you both!

pre-term labor...

I thought I should probably post a little about what has been going on lately with my pregnancy. On Friday, february 25th I started feeling some pain in my right side and my stomach hurt to even touch. I talked myself out of going to the hospital because I knew Nephi's clinic was open on saturday and I thought that I was probably having some kidney problems. The next day I called and made an appointment and headed to Nephi. I ran in to my friend Erin and got to have a good visit with her... she kept telling me that she thought I was in labor but I wasn't convinced. When I saw the dr. he said that I had a uti but that I needed to be checked on the monitors to see about contractions. When they hooked me up, I immediatley remembered being in labor with Justice and started feeling even more pain. They tried to give me some antibiotic and fluids because they thought the uti was what was causing them but it did not help. I then got some more meds and some more tests which did not help the cause. My dr. had found out that one of my tests said that my body thought it would have a baby in 7 to 14 days. Not good when you are not due until the end of May. He decided to send me by ambulance to utah valley and then gave me some magnesium sulfate that stopped my labor. They sent me home after two days, and put me on bedrest. I have been doing really well but started to feel contractions again yesterday and some more today. I don't know if it is because I went to partial bed rest or what. It has been scary but I have had so much help. I can't thank my family, and my friends and the relief society enough. They have all been so wonderful to help me and so willing to do anything for me. I seriously have not had to do a thing for a couple of weeks now. I am going to keep trying to keep this baby in as long as possible. We want a healthy happy baby!!! Thanks to everyone who has helped and also all those who have worried and prayed for us. Thank you, Thank you
