12 WEEKS

1. I am sicker than I was with either of the first two...everyone says they think it will be a girl but I say it is because I am chasing two little boys around and it is exhausting.

2. I am not sleeping good at all but I am Very Very Tired all the time.

3. I already have to do the rubber band trick on most of my pants and I broke out the maternity clothes this week...thanks baby number 3.

4. I cursed like a sailor the first month I was pregnant and also when I told family but I am starting to get excited.

5. I had my first doctors appointment on Wednesday the 28th...we could not hear a heart beat but I was not surprised because I didn't hear it with Odin until I was 13 weeks and with Cort I was 14 weeks.

6. I go back to the doctor on Aug. 25th and we better hear the heartbeat then or something is NOT good.

7. Odin is excited and still says there are two in there...I sure hope not but will take what I get.

8. My back is constantly hurting me and I am also hoping that is because I am chasing around 2 little boys and not that this one will be on my sciatic nerve like the other two.

9. The baby doubled size this last week and is fully formed with fingers and toes and now it just needs to grow big and strong.

10. On one of the due date calculators it says my estimated due date is Feb. 12th and that is my Dads birthday and now he says it has to be born that day...throws off my 25th of the month I got going on but would be cool to share a birthday with Papa.

WHY!!!

BEFORE


AFTER

I think he wanted me to kill him...no I am kidding...it is my fault for not checking on him but he hasn't done this since he was a baby...I could hear drawers opening and closing but I just thought it was Cort playing around because he does that all the time and then when I finally did go in there I saw it was not Cort it was Odin and he had emptied ALL of his drawers...YEAH!!!...and OCD me could not let him clean it up all by himself because I wanted everything put back where it goes...so we did a little team work...YEAH!!!...I just hope he doesn't do it again...and at least now I will know to get up and check before it gets this bad...such a CRAZY KID!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Sisters by Chance....Friends by Choice....

Today is my Sisters 22nd Birthday and I am so glad she is my sister...she is always making me laugh and she loves my boys...I love her sense of humor and how quick witted she is...I have always been jealous of her beauty and her humor...I love her for always being there for me and she is the Best Aunt anyone could ask for...I love you Brooke and I hope your day is a GREAT DAY!!!

Swim Lessons 2010

I did swim lessons again this year...this time Odin went to level 1 and I did the Mom and Tot with Cort...I was nervous about Odin being in a class with out me but he did a GREAT job...I love swim lessons and I want my boys to love the water like I do...Chuck is not a big fan of the water and so we don't want the boys to be afraid or hate it like he does...so I enjoy the chance I get to do swim lessons with them...

Trip to Salt Lake...

We went to Salt Lake to Visit Chuck on some days off and see Gary, Brittney, Brayton, and Tristin...we had a lot of fun...it always goes by faster then we want but better to get some time with them then none...

We took the boys to the Living Planet Aquarium and to the Discovery Gateway and then also some fun places to play in the malls...and of course swimming at the motel pool...
of course my camera died and so I didn't get to take as many pictures but here are some...
ENJOY!!!

OUCH!!!

This is what happens when you are throwing a temper-tantrum and you decide to hit your head on the ground...that is an impression of our wood floors on his head...and he had a big old goose egg...all because I didn't get him milk fast enough...this little man has a BIG temper on him...I call him my evil redheaded step child...he doesn't have the red hair but man the temper would make you think he does...he is so dang funny...all I can do is try not to laugh and wait for the tantrum to stop...he has a permanent bruise in the middle of his head right now because he hits his head on the ground hard whenever he gets mad...hopefully he will out grow it like his brother did...until then he will be pretty bruised and have a good headache all the time...

Randoms....

Here are some Random Pictures to catch up on...
ENJOY!!!!

This is Odin enjoying the slides at the 4th of July celebrations...Bridger was too fast for me to get a picture of him...

I wanted to see if Odin could ride his bike to the park down the street from us...he did a Great job on the way there and then on the way back it was a little tougher...the way there was slightly down hill so on the way back it was an up hill ride...his legs were pretty tired when he got home but he did a Great job...strong little man...

These two had a lot of fun together...Keely can talk a lot better then Odin but she still understood everything he was saying...they were so cute together...

We have a neighbor that we call Grandma Jeanette...she treats my kids like they are her own grandchildren and my boys LOVE her...Odin went around our complex and helped her pick up trash and she gave the boys some Chocolate Creamies...they LOVED them and I followed them around wiping up all the drippings...

My Cute Boys enjoying their morning milk...they have about 3 glasses every morning...I hope they have strong bones because of it...I love how Cort had to go sit by his brother to drink his milk...definitely a picture moment...

Some random pictures from the Osness Reunion...Cort figured out he could reach stuff on the edge of the food table and there happened to be some sugar cookies on the one end...he got 3 before I figured out what he was doing...not a happy boy when I moved them...

After torturing him at the 4th of July celebrations and him being such a trooper in the heat we had to reward him with a SpongeBob Popsicle...he LOVED it...

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER!!!

I love all these boys so much and I am so glad they have each other...

Mini Doughnuts at the 4th of July celebrations...they are so addicting...

Cort LOVES riding this bike at Nana's house and I love watching him ride it...he is just so dang cute...I absolutely love him more and more every day..

One LONG Weekend

This is what happens after it has been One LONG and exhausted weekend...
Friday we went to hurricane and hung out with LOTS of Family...
Saturday we went to LaVerkin and checked out their 4th of July celebrations then came back over to St. George to check out their 4th of July Celebrations...then tried to put the boys down for naps of which Odin woke up from Pissed Off at the world...then went over to the Grandparents to Bar-b-que and watch fireworks and hang out with LOTS of Family...didn't get home and in bed until 11 at night...
Then had to be in Hurricane by 8:40 AM to get seats at the chapel for Baby Landon and Baby Blakes Blessings...so I had to wake the boys up and get them dressed and in the car by 8:15 AM...then after church we were all at my Moms house eating lunch and hanging out...all the kids went in the back yard and played with water balloons and the water hose...so Odin took off his clothes and the bad mom I am forgot to put sunblock on so he got burnt and he did NOT have a nap that day at all either...so by 8 that night when it was time to put pjs on and load up in the car to go home he was not doing any of it...I forced the issue got the boys loaded in the car made it around the corner and Odin had his seat belt off and his clothes off...I pulled over and walked around to get him dressed and he climbed out of the car butt naked and screaming and crying and started walking back to Nanas house...I couldn't resist taking a picture...I am sure the cars driving by were wondering what the heck was going on and I am surprised no police showed up...It was a Mexican standoff and I finally won...he eventually came back to the car and I got him dressed and buckled in and not a mile down the road he was sound asleep...
I WIN!!!

(The original picture...kind of blurry)

(I tried to enhance the photo to make it more readable.)

Well it is official...I am preggers again...Yep that would be number 3...I have known since 06-08-2010-as seen in the photos...but I didn't want to tell anyone at all forever if I didn't have too...but I guess that didn't happen...My family was teasing me and Chuck and Brandy-the two people who have known since the same date as me-said to just tell them finally...so I did it...We told everyone yesterday...After lots of tears I finally started accepting hugs and congratulations...
We did not plan this AT ALL...this wasn't even supposed to happen right now...I know a little to much information but a condom broke and this was the result...With both my other boys it took about 3 months for me to get pregnant so of course in my mind I was thinking there is no way that I could get pregnant with a condom breaking...but that was not the case...
I knew in the back of my mind when I took the test that I was pregnant...I just was hoping I was wrong...my reaction when I walked in 3 LONG minutes later and read the test was "OH SHIT-THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING" (pardon my language)...I started bawling and sent Chuck a picture message since he was back up in Salt Lake working...of course he called me laughing and thinking it was funny and I am bawling and haven't really stopped...
I am scared to death to have this baby...After the postpartum with Cort I am so afraid...and with Chuck up to leave on Active Duty to Iraq or Afghanistan that makes me even more afraid...And Cort is such a Mamas Boy and he is still so young and I feel like I am taking something away from him...I know in my mind that obviously the Lord has another plan for me and I keep trying to tell myself that everything will work out but I just can't get over the fear...I am scared to death and I know it is horrible to admit but I am not happy about this yet either...maybe that has to be with being sicker than a dog right now and the 1st trimester blues but I am hoping it will get better...
I can't change anything now and all I can do is get prepared...I know I will be happy about it eventually but right now I am just SCARED...
Sorry for venting so much but now the news is out...
I am about 8-9 weeks along...I have my first doc appointment on July 28th and we will see what the doc says about how far along I am...and I will keep everyone updated...

Once Upon a Time...

Ok so a little extra about this story...
On the night of my Grad Night (10 years ago-how old am I getting)...I was running up the stairs to help my friend get a couch to sit on and my shoe caught our gym stairs-mind you they are cement and really steep-and I fell and my hands did not stop my face from hitting the stairs...
I instantly grabbed my mouth and turned around and found an adult and showed them I was hurt bad...
my mom was a helper at Grad Night but she had gone to take the trash out and no one could find her...I kept telling the adults around me that my teeth are gone and they kept saying you are fine because they didn't want me to freak out more...I could slide my tongue around and knew I was missing teeth...so they finally believed me and started looking for my teeth...
in the meantime my Best Friends Mom threw me in her car and rushed me to the dentist office while another Mom called and woke the dentist up to meet us there...we were sitting in the parking lot when my mom showed up and I started crying and told her I didn't have my teeth...so my Best Friends Mom jumped back in her car and ran back to the high school to find my teeth while my mom and I said a quick prayer...
my Best Friends Mom walked back into the high school and tons of people were going through the trash looking for my teeth...she walked over to the stairs and there was my tooth-the whole tooth-sitting on the stairs...she grabbed it and ran back to the dentist office...she got back just as the dentist pulled up...
it had been close to the 20 minute mark if not longer and the tooth had been sitting on the stairs but he didn't have time to clean it or numb me up...I jumped in the chair and he moved the second tooth over back into its place and then shoved my missing tooth in...the root was attached but since it hadn't been put in milk or cleaned he told me it could still die and fall out...
to this day I still have my two original front teeth...they of course have had root canals and are beginning to discolor a little bit but not to bad yet...Almost all of my classmates have no idea this happened to me and I of course missed Most of Grad Night...
so moral of this story is that I do not do good with teeth so when this happened to Odin I had to keep control and keep from throwing up...I am deathly afraid of my teeth or the teeth of anyone around me getting hurt...but I held it together and Odin is just fine...

Family Photos

(This is the photo we decided to put up on my Moms Wall.)

We had my Aunt Hope take some family pictures of us in March and she does such a good job and her camera snaps so fast I can never choose my favorites....so here are some collages I put together of some fun ones...
Hope you all ENJOY!!!
