One of these days I promise to do better at updating this thing but for now this will have to work.
2018 came and has gone. We are now closing in on the final days of the year!!
Alex is still working for Halliburton and hasn't been gone as much this year as the previous few. We have been able to enjoy having him home and have been able to take a few vacations together as a family which has been much needed.
We decided to try for another baby last year. It didn't go as planned and it took quite a while to get pregnant. I met with a fertility Dr to discuss options and felt impressed to wait before we decided on anything. Sure enough, we found out we were pregnant in June; about a week before we were heading to Idaho for our annual stay. We had planned a trip to Las Vegas for our 9 year anniversary not know where we would be for our 10 year. We couldn't have been more happy to be pregnant again but I was a nervous wreck!
We traveled to Idaho and I remained healthy with no morning sickness. However, when it was time for Vegas I got sick. I thought at first it was just nerves about flying but I was sick pretty much the whole time we were there. Poor Alex had to deal with me puking and nauseous for 4 whole days. I tried a couple "natural" remedies the Dr suggested but all they made me want to do was sleep. And then I got zofran. It is a love/hate relationship with that stuff. It makes you stop puking but it also makes you stop doing anything! I dreaded taking it and only took it when we were in Idaho.
The kids had a blast in Idaho.We went camping with my parents and then to Heise Hot Springs with my sister's two oldest kids and Alex's nephew. The water was a lot colder then we were used to but I think everyone had a great time.
We spent time on the farm helping my dad "farm" and check on cows. We did a little razor riding and a little ditch swimming. We were able to spend some time with Sheela and her kids. It was hard being sick and trying to keep it a secret but we managed. We also spent time with Alex's mom and brother's family. We were able to go to Bear world and the kids loved being able to see all of the bears and animals up close and we even got to see some baby bears.
We had a great trip but were ready to come home and Alex had to work so we convinced Preston to drive home with us. He didn't get to stay but it was fun spending some one on one time in the car with him.
Baby Boy Wetherell is due on February 19 but I am scheduled for a csection on January 29. My csection scarring is getting thin and we are worried about it rupturing. I have been having braxton hicks for about 3 weeks now and I have heard that isn't good. I never had them with my other 2. Here is to hoping I make it another 3 weeks to my next Dr appointment!
Anyway, there is a little blurb into our 2018! I hope y'all had a Merry Christmas and wish you a happy new year!
