Home, Home on the Range. ..

Guess who came home on Wednesday!! I will post pics later but just wanted to update everyone that Hailey is home and doing soooo good! I couldn't believe it when they told me that I could take her home! She's so adorable and just sleeps for now, but when she's awake we dress her in her preemie clothes and take pictures! I could just hold her all day and night! It's still a huge adjustment! Definately will take some time to get used to!
Thanks everyone for the cute comments! We love visitors so you can stop by anytime to see us!
I will put some new pics on soon!

A Star is Born! Oh and Happy Birthday Mommy!

So last week I went to my Dr.'s appt. to check up on my blood pressure. . .While there my sweet Dr gave me the shock of a lifetime and told me they were admitting me to the hospital because it was 160/110!! Yikes! I bawled my eyes out and was scared out of my mind! But they ended up sending me home that night because it went back down, but I was put on bedrest.

After 3 days of being bored out of my mind. . .my blood pressure shot back up on Sunday evening and I was told to go back to the hospital! So with the entire Lloyd clan in tow . . we headed up! They told me then that they were going to induce me and we'd being having a baby within the next day or so! I kept telling them that my birthday was Wednesday and so it needed to be before or after that!
After a full day of being on Patocin and Magnesium for the blood pressure they were getting ready to break my water but couldn't feel her head! So they did and ultra sound and the little bugger had flipped completely around and was breech! I was prepped for a C section immediately and within an hour had a beautiful baby girl!
Daddy's lil' girl, Hailey Katherine Johnson was born on March 11 (the day before my birthday) weighing in at 4 lbs 4 oz! She is doing fabulous and should be allowed to come home with us pretty soon! She has been eating well and is even breastfeeding twice a day now! They didn't think she would because she's so small, but she has definately exceeded everyone's expectations! We go up to feed her everyday and stay at the hospital between feedings so that we can be there for most of the day to see her and love on her! It's still really hard for me to leave her there though and I weep everytime I have to leave! I really can't believe how much I love this little baby! I will definately update more later and post more pics! Thank you to everyone for being so supportive especially both of our families! She couldn't ask for better grandparents and aunts and uncles!

Cankles and High Blood Pressure?? Oh and still throwing up! FUN!

Oh the joys of pregnancy! Last week was a stressful one for me! I was so worried about my darn cankles fitting into my bridesmaids shoes!

I promise there are ankles under there somewhere!

Before the wedding I threw up twice! But while at the wedding I felt well enough to get my groove on!

Who can resist Prince?? Honestly? Dang I look good!

At my Dr.'s appointment on Monday morning my blood pressure had shot up! 140/90 apparently isn't good so my Dr. ordered a bunch of tests! One of which consisted of hauling my urine around in a jug with me! That was exciting! But everything came back good and she said they'll just keep monitoring it! I have been told to rest as much as possible! Kinda hard to when we've got so much to do! I am now approaching my 34th week! Can't believe it! No the nursery is not set up yet, but we're hoping by the end of the week it will be! That is our goal! I think that for so long I was afraid to do anything for fear of jinxing things and having something go wrong. Then i was just too darn sick to do anything and now here we are, a month away and her room is still in shambles! YIKES!

My friends threw me a shower on Saturday. It was lots of fun to see everyone and get some good motherly advice about everything! I got so many cute little outfits and fun "mommy" stuff! I'm really starting to get excited! Thanks girls!

Jimmy Dean Sausages Anyone?

Here I am with my slackerness!! It's been busy, can you blame me? But I don't come empty handed!! While I won't be posting my lovely swimsuit pic that I had Doug take, I will spare you all from that horrific image. . . I will be posting some fun wedding pics!!

I can't believe Levi is now a married man! It was a crazy week last week, but the wedding went well and there were no casualties! These pictures do not however do my cankles justice! Thanks to Gina for wedging my feet into those shoes! They looked like two Jimmy Dean sausages!!

Linds and me! Gotta love my double chin! Yes my face is getting rounder along with my belly!

Here's my two favorite nephews! One getting his rest and the other looking not so happy to be in a tux and at a wedding!Okay who let them get a hold of my camera?? Look at these cute Lloyd boys!!

UFC move on over. . .East High is comin' through!

So the following article was in the Salt Lake Tribune on Saturday:

Fight brings cops to East High
Posted: 6:21 PM- More than a dozen police officers responded Friday to a string of fights at East High School in Salt Lake City when two students from another school apparently started a scuffle. The first fight began in a hallway about 2 p.m. and was stopped by a resource officer, said Salt Lake City Detective Roger Williams. When about 50 students crowded around to egg on the fighters, the officer made a priority call for back up. Nineteen police cars responded, Williams said. The fight never turned into a melee, but at least two other fights involving 12 boys and 6 girls began minutes after the first fight. Police were able to restore order in less than 10 minutes. No injuries were reported, but most of those students in the fights will be referred to juvenile court, Williams said.

Now I've been ring side at a couple of Ultimate fights representin' our boy Camrann. But it's one thing to see two guys beat each other up who want to and who are getting paid to! It's quite another to have front row seats to a "high school brawl" that's right outside our front office in front of our windows!! I won't comment too much about it, but lets just say I walked out in the hall to tell someone that some of the culprits were escaping and just then the "6 girls" mentioned in the article decided to start fighting right in front of me! Of course no one could hear me or see me because I'm shorter than all the kids at East High, but eventually I broke through the crowd and back into the safety of the office! While it was terrifying and I had to give Hailey a pep talk about how she's never going to be like that!! I did go to Granger and that was not the first brawl that I've been witness to! DRAMA!!

It's been a long time!

Here I am with my monthly update!! Don't worry, next week I will be updating again for my 8 month photo! Crazy!!


So first and foremost, Doug cut the hair! Woohoo! He's my Dougie again! He was becoming unrecognizable under that mop! Oh he's so handsome! Last week he locked himself in the bathroom and chopped it off! I didn't even get to take a before pic, but if you saw some of the Xmas pics earlier, you can only imagine how long it was by now!
On Saturday, Doug made his famous German waffles and was so proud of the "peaks" that he took a pic! Silly boy!

We went to our birthing class on Saturday. While it did calm some of my ever growing anxiety, it also added to it! I am giving birth in less than two months!! AAAAAHHHHH!!

My little bro Levi is getting married next Friday! He and Lindsay are so cute and I can't wait to see them all gussied up and gettin' hitched! I am a bridesmaid and yes I will for sure post those pics! That otta be a sight! Woo! My wonderful mother-in-law made Jenn and I maternity dresses, but it's not the dresses that I'm worried about! Our shoes are 3 inch black heels with ankle straps! And I'm at the point where I can't see my feet when I walk down the stairs, so let's just imagine how pretty that will be! My cankles will look hot in those heels! Yowza!

And last but not least, in my last post I reminicsed about my 3rd grade class pic! Thanks for the fun comments that I got! It sure took me back! So I've added some fun music to my playlist! Those of you who will remember NKOTB - That's New Kids on the Block! Good times! As I was adding those songs I was remembering (Alisha you'll remember this) the time that some of the girls in our neighborhood wanted to join a contest to win Joey McIntire's hat. So we practiced and learned the dance to "The Right Stuff"! We totally recorded that! I think Annie Griffith might still have that tape kickin' around somewhere! Awsome!

Oh What a Blessing!!

Look at this little man! So handsome! Who wouldn't be, being the offspring of these 2 adorable people! For those of you who don't know, that's my little brother Ben and his cute wifey Terra and the little man Braxton! A couple of weeks ago they had him blessed and he looked so cute in his white tux! They had to get his hair cut already because it was wild!

Proud Daddy and Braxty!
