Nervous and bad heart burn

So It is one in the morning, seems late to you, but to me the night is just beginning! For those of you who don't know, I have insomnia. I can now go a whole day and night with no sleep. IN fact, some nights Rory has to force me to sleep. I hate sleeping pills, or any pills for that matter since I have been pregnant. I have heart burn up the ying yang. Logan is moving like crazy. I can watch my belly shift from side to side and see his little feet kicking me galor. I am so nervous for my U/S tomorrow. I will find out the results to see if I end up needing the surgery and how bad my kidneys are. Oh boy, the thought wrecks me. Cross your fingers for me every one!

Valentines day and 25 weeks!

So today is Valentines day, and a great day! I have so much to love in my life, especially the love OF my life. He is the most perfect man alive. He could never be compared to, and I am so thankful to have been blessed with such a perfect angel to stand by my side in life. He truly has been the most loving, caring, perfect, smart, handsome, amazing man I could ask for. Today, we are gong to see Wolf Man, and than going to Lunch. It should be great! Rory got me the camera of my dreams for Valentines. It is a Canon EOS XSI 450d. It is amazing. I have a photo shoot booked monday morning and I am way excited to use it! The picture quality is great! I got Rory this paintball gun he has been wanting. He has decided to find a hobby, and paintball gunning sounded great for him. He definetly needs a hobby so he can enjoy him self instead of being the hardworker he is. So Logan is getting bigger, I say that instead of me getting bigger because it just sounds so much better! Lol! But really, I can not even believe how tight my pants are on me now lol. I am still way underweight, but I have gained which is good. Dr. Oneida doesn't seem to worried so I won't be either. I am not sure if I told you guys, but I am having some serious problems with my kidneys. I told you about the hospital trip, well it turns out that water that is surrounding my kidneys is actually urine. The valves to my kidneys have been blocked off my Logan and my uterus laying on it, so they ruptured which explains all of my pain. I go in tuesday for an ultrasound, than she will determine if I need the surgery, which they will go through my back and put a stint into my valves and than give me a colostrum because I won't be able to use the bathroom. I am really hoping I can avoid this at all costs. She also said that if it isn't healed by the time of my labor, I will most likely have to get a C-section because of the pressure it will put on it by pushing. Well, as long as Logan is alive and kicking I am fine. Reece turns 7 years old tommorrow! It is so sad yet so great that he is growing up so fast. I remember visiting him while he was in NICU those two weeks as a new born. He was so little and precious. Now he is still so cute, but he can actually talk which means he talks just like a boy! Austin comes home next saturday for two weeks, and than will be deployed to Afghanistan. Karlee will be staying in Utah and living here for the next seven months. As nervous as I am for him, I know and I am confident he is going to do great. He is a strong, brave man, and all the training he has had has prepared him for whats coming. I just look forward to the last of the seven months when we can all see him again! Well, better go get ready!

24 weeks, 6 months!

Six months down, three to go! Although these six months went by super fast, I know they are going to start slowing down soon. That might be an okay thing though, because I want to prepare EVERYTHING for him. I want his welcoming to be perfect, although I know just having him here with my perfect husband will be incredible. So I should probably write in here about my recent hospital visit. Can I just say, Not Fun! I woke up Thursday with an incedible right side pain, it hurt very bad but I put it off as ligament pains. Every one kept telling me that the pain should not be that bad, but I kept putting it off, silly me. Friday I woke up feeling great! Than, Saturday, I woke up practically paralyzed in pain. I could barely stand. I called the doctors to get a sooner check up, when I got there they sent me to Labor and Delivery. I got to Labor and Delivery and couldn't bare the pain any more and just broke down in tears. It was quite embarassing but the nurses and of coarse, Rory, were very helpful. They monitored me and baby Logan for five hours, took a ton of blood (during the process I was literally holding on so I didn't pass out or puke!) and took a urine culture. They came down to the conclusion that I had a pretty bad UTI, and a bad infection. They gave me some pain meds and told me if it didn't feel better later tonight, to go to the ER. Well I got home and two hours later the pain was back. I went into the ER, got some more IV's and blood drawn and found out I really did not have any trace of an UTI, just my white blood cell count was very high which indicated the infection I have was pretty bad. They had me drink some nasty contrast drink, a cup every half hour for two hours, and did a cat scan. They were convinced it was my appendix. The cat scan concluded I had water surrounding my kidneys but they could not pin point my infection. After spending all day and night in the hospital, I was prescribed some anti biotics and sent home at two in the morning. I am very worried about the infection, because I just know it is some where near my kindeys, and Rory and I are crossing our fingers that this medicine works. Although I still am having the pain, I can tell it is clearing up. Rory has been learning all about building websites. I am so proud of what he is doing. He has learned a lot, and is still going. He has such a creative and smart mind. He can really take him self any where. I love him so truly much! My photography business has taken off and I am so happy. I have lots of dates booked and more coming. Next Monday is Reecy boys birthday! I am so happy to have him as a little brother. Him and his humerous self can make any one laugh. We are all going bowling Saturday for his party. Rory and I are doing wonderful. He is such a great friend and husband and my life is so complete with him. I can't wait to take our life to the next chapter with Logan in it. I love it the kicks and turns Logan does when Rory is around or talking or kissing my belly. Rory is the most honerable, lovable, and amazing man alive and I love him more than words can say. Well off to watch some TV!

23 weeks and flying!

I am now at the 23 week mark. So crazy! 17 or less weeks to go! Rory and I have been doing wonderfully! We went to the circus tonight with all of my family and had a blast, although the animals really got my allergies going, but all in all it was a very fun time! I haven't really mentioned much about how my photography business is doing, not on this blog of mine at least, but I will fill you in. I decided to take my photography to the next level, where I have always wanted it to be. I now officially own Shory Photography. What is nice about what I am doing is that I do not need a business license. That saved me a lot of time and money. I have done five shots these last two weeks, and three more coming the next three weeks. Great start! I started advertising on KSL.com, and had word of mouth clients as well. The process was a little difficult, but now that I have all the legal stuff down, I am set to go! I have been doing a lot of senior shots. I offered a package and have been charging $50.00 for them. I also have a family shot coming up this next week, and two girls that are friends with eachother are having me do their seniors, singles, and friend shots. I have been doing so great, and I am so proud of my self! I have signed up for the next online photography course, and been reading my life away. I know most of what I need to, but I also know that every little thing counts. My accomplishment has been fulfilled, and I have no one to thank but my self, my wonderful husband for his support, and my family for being there. Rory and I will be getting our tax return next friday. We are getting a lot more than I expected, but with the tax return, the money we have been getting off of puppies, and my photography shoot money, we have been doing wonderful. For my Valentines present, Rory bought me my DREAM camera. Canon XSI 450D. It is incredible. I want to say what I got him, but I know he will read this, sneaky boy! I know he will love it though! We are also putting money aside for baby Logans circumsition since the insurance no longer covers that, and we both decided it is what we want for him. We have our crib, and every thing else. Now the baby shower comes, and I know with how many people are coming, we will be getting more than enough. I recently stumbled upon some of Rory and I's pictures that are on some bodies public blog. I really don't mind that she has them on there, but what I do mind is that when I took her and her daughters pictures, and after our recent dropping of our friendship, I respected her wishes to take them off of my FB. I am just clueless as to why it was such a deal that hers must be taken down, but mine our up there for the world to see. I started building my portfolio, and really want to add some of the pictures I took of her and her daughter in it, but I know a big bussle will be the out come of it. Although, I do own the pictures and copyright to them, and I can not get into any legal trouble, the trouble she will cause me will not be worth it in the end. Plus, I know I have many clients to come that can be added into my portfolio. Logan weighs just over a pound now, and is really growing more and more each day. I am a little worried, as my weight is very slowly growing, but my doctor says I don't have much to worry about, because Logan is healthy as can be. My starting weight when I got pregnant was 142, when I hit 15 weeks, I was down to 127, now I am not 135, but should be at 158. Scary right? Well according to the docs, it is fine for now, that is. I am so excited to be a mom, and Rory is extatic to be a dad. He is going to be amazing, and I am so happy to have him be my support system. I watch these shows about single moms, and I can never understand how they do it. It has to be tough on a person physically, but emotionally as well. I think any one who has there companion with them through the pregnancy and parenting, should be charishing life because they were blessed with some one that loves them enough to stick by and do what ever they can for you. Life is such a silly thing, and can really boggle my brain thinking about it. How did I end up with such an amazing husband, and family? I am not sure, but I know that I have seriously been blessed. Countless times in my life, I have had people tell me horrible things about my self, things I have never found true, but I now realize the meaning behind it. These same people have been looking up to me and everything I do, and it is in plain sight. It truly flatters me that I can be such an inspiration to someone. My life has had its up's and downs, but in reality, the only thing you can do during the tough times is keep looking ahead. The road always continues, and I believe that this is the reason my life has turned out so perfectly. Talk to you all soon!
