Well.....my sister is a stud! She delivered 2 baby boys yesturday. They are healthy and darling! Baby A: is named Malakai Elijah, and Baby B: is named McKade Parker! Congrats Rachael and Jake.....and Big sister, Marshae!!! We Love You All!!!

So, once again....Bethi Starr Photos has come to the rescue! We needed family pictures done fast, and Bethi was so awesome to work with us and get them done. Here are just a few of the awesome ones that she got. Brienne is now 7, Reagan will be 5 in November, and Cael is almost 4 months, and I am due in about 2 1/2 months! Thanks for the AWESOME job Bethi!!!!

So, we post-poned the move until October 26th....so are house is half packed and I am ready to get gone. I hate the "in between" time...yet I am greatful for a little extra time to clean. And Jens' new bigger gym is getting prepped right now and will be moving in there soon. We are looking forward to living closer to the gym, which will save a lot of driving time.

That is about it for now...just wanted to quickly post some of our newest photo's from Bethi Starr!!!

Very Busy...

As you can see.....it has been a while since I last posted! I have been one, busy "mummy"

I ended up switching my OBGYN, and I am feeling great! He is watching me closely, checking my cervix every 2 weeks, and allowing me to not be on bedrest and/or getting a cerclage....and it has been wonderful! My cervix is perfect right now! But, this last visit...he saw a little bit of a concern. My placenta is moving and is now touching the cervix, and so it is not a complete placenta previa yet, and we are hoping that it won't be. If it is, then I will have to have a c-section. So, we are watching that closely right now....but, everything else with the pregnancy is going well! I have another very active boy, and I am getting kicked and punched a lot! Uh oh.....another Reagan! But, loving that I can have a "normal" life while being pregnant! Something that I have NEVER experienced before with my pregnancies!

Let's See.....Cael, our darling little foster/adopt baby is doing well! He has gained several pounds in the last few weeks. He was having problems with all his formulas....he was always sick, not gaining weight, and throwing it up all the time. It was very frustrating. So, we are now buying fresh goat milk from a sweet lady, and it is working well for him! He is soooo chunky now and happy! We call him our little "goat boy". The next court date is October 6th....so, we will know a "little" bit more of the case...can't wait!

I am homeschooling Brienne....She is doing 2nd grade this year, a year ahead...and is doing great! Reagan is even getting in on the action! He is loving learning now...when he can sit still long to do something!

And I am selling some Halloween tutu costumes. I should be done in the next 2 weeks. Just enough to feel creative.

And then, our gym is moving in to new location....we have way outgrown the current one, so we found a place right across the parking lot of the current gym that is twice the square footage! For just a little bit more money....Yay! We now have turned the business into an LLC....and we have some financial business partners, so we are excited about where our business is going. Most of our clients are currently doctors, surgeons, etc....we are loving it!

And last....we are moving once again!! I know.....we are crazy! But, this last summer has cost us soooo much for electricity. Since this is an older home, it means old appliances, old windows that let in hot/cold air, and a fireplace that blows in the hot air from outside....so, we found a new home (still renting) that is in Paradise Canyon, off of the top of Snow Canyon Pkwy. All new appliances, way more energy effecient....so we should save a lot on the electricity. It is a beautiful area, and very quiet. We are going to be in there by October 13th....just a day before our 9th Wedding Anniversery!

So, there is a lot going on here. Sorry about the Novel!

Ouch....

So, I am currently on Progesterone shots, to keep me from going into pre-term labor. This will be the 2nd time that I have gotten it done. The 1st week, the doctor wanted to Jens and I to come into the Dr.'s office, while a nurse watched him give it to me.....in the BUTTocks!

Jens is thankfully a good shot giver, and gives it to me every Monday. It is not the shot that hurts....it is the aftermath. Last night, I don't think that we warmed up the "oil-based" liquid enough, because it took a really long time to get it all in, and hurt like no other. I don't like that it is oil based....because it hurts so much more, and the pain lasts a really long time. My left cheek is still in a lot of pain after all night and morning.

I will have to take these shots until I am 36 weeks along....just 16 more! WoW, that is a lot more than I hoped it was. So, that is what is going on currently here at the Lovell house.

WoW....Another Boy!

So, this morning was our ultrasound appointment to find out what I am "cooking" inside~ Brienne and I were hoping for another girl, since there is now Cael, but it is not a Girl....NOT EVEN CLOSE! At first his legs were tightly crossed, and he was not showing anyone....and when we were just about done, I felt a huge movement, and so, I suggested we look one more time. Sure enough, he opened wide for a very good shot!

So, now we will have 1 girl and 3 boys!!!! Holy Cow!!! Poor Brienne, she even started crying, she so badly wanted a lil sister. But, I explained that she will always be our princess. And Jens and Reagan are sooooooooo excited to out-number us girls! But, we are all truly excited and feeling so greatful to have a healthy baby, and a good pregnancy. There will definantly be a lot less emotions flying around with less girls :-) We can't wait to meet our lil man!

TRIP TO THE HOSPITAL.....

Last Wednesday, I was up ALL night very sick and didn't get any better the next day. It got so bad and I was sooooo dehydrated that I wasn't breathing well, and my arms were going really numb, and I was contracting badly. So, Jens took me to the ER where I was given 3 liters of fluids, oxygen, phenergan, zofran, and morphine. I stayed for several hours til I was feeling better. While there, I learnded I had a really bad UTI as well.

Since then, I have really struggled trying to get in enough fluids. That is what does not stay down with this pregnancy. So, Jens has spent a few days giving me 1-3 oz of fluid every 10 to 20 minutes, just to keep it down,and get me hydrated. Poor guy. So, next week at my Dr. appt, we will be talking about the possibility of getting IV's through a hydration clinic. I just wish that I could have some oxygen here at home to help with all the nausea :-) So, this is the latest with us!

Update on the baby boy we are trying to adopt: We have FINALLY named him (something other than what he goes by with the state).....Cael Aiden Lovell

Our Newest Addition.....

No.....I still have one in the oven.....

We got a call from the Foster/Adopt person last Wednesday night. They were desperate to get a hold of us and lost our phone numbers, so they ended up calling SkyWest to get Jens number. Anyway, they said that there was this newborn baby boy needing to be picked up from labor and delivery the next day.

We have been waiting for a call like this for a really long time, and of course it came when I am now finally pregnant. :-) I knew that we would be looked at like we were crazy for doing such a thing....but LOTS of prayers told me, that it was going to be hard, but worth it. So, here we are! Honestly, he could not have come at a better time for me....I have really struggled mentally/emotionally from being so sick with this pregnancy, and having this shiny little spirit has helped us all!

We are praying that we will be able to adopt him....only time will tell.....we are very hopeful! So, he will be 2 weeks this Sunday, and is perfect in every way! (thanks Bethi for the darling pics)
