Welcome Spring!

Here we are 1 week to go till Adam turns 1 years old!!
I can't believe how fast it has gone. Everyone tells you that time will just fly by while your pregnant but you don't really believe them till it happens to you.
Well Adam is officially walking now! He takes every chance he can get to walk around the house and the yard, and the grandparents house. He absolutely loves to play in the grass :D just like his dad. We already gave him his birthday present. I know it is a week early but he isn't gonna remember it plus he is going to be getting more gifts from his grandparents and family on his birthday so I didn't see the harm. He LOVES it!
Because he is always wanting to do things with daddy we got him a toy lawnmower that blows bubbles when he pushes it. Plus it makes lawn mower noises and has a key he can turn as well as a speed adjuster.
When Aaron took it so he could clean it out, Adam started to cry because he didn't want to stop playing.
Adam actually started to speed walk with the mower he was going so fast. I am always amazed at how quickly he picks things up. He already knows how to make daddy's motorcycle noises. He also knows exactly when daddy is coming home so he refuses to sleep till daddy comes home from work. It always makes my heart melt a little every time he starts laughing and tries to get to daddy as fast as possible.
My little boy is also a accomplished dancer. He loves to dance to Tik Tok and Why don't we just dance. Then again he loves to dance to any music.
He also has discovered how to climb on boxes so he loves to try and reach the piano keys so that he can play like daddy does.
We had a bad week this week. Adam got sick with croup and could barely breath at night. So I took him up to instacare and got him looked at. The doctor there said that he should be fine and gave him a small dose of steroids to help him out and sent us home.
But on Monday morning he was running a fever of 101.4 F so I called our doctor and took him in again only to find out that he was starting to get bronchitis so Adam had to get more steroids and antibiotics to help him get better. But now he is breathing great and LOVING playing outside as often as he can between naps.
Bean is getting big. I am carrying a little higher with this one than I did with Adam so I definitely feel bigger at this point. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant so 7 months! I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I think it is because I have the speedy little boy to keep up with now.
I did find out at my ultrasound that we are having another BOY!! We're still not sure what to name him but so far we like Parker Hanley Robison, William Hanley Robison, William Scott Robison, or Matthew Scott Robison.
I also found out at my ultrasound that I have Placenta Previa which basically means that my placenta is partially covering my cervix so if it doesn't move I will have to have a C-section. I am more worried about the recovery after the surgery than the actual surgery. My mom had 3 and my sister in law had one with her daughter so I know that while it is a HUGE risk for me it is safer for the baby so I'm not really worried about having surgery. I'm more worried about having stitches and staples with a 15 month old who will like to poke at them. I go back to the doctor for another ultrasound on the 14th to see if I am going to need a c-sections so wish me luck and keep us in your prayers.
My life is going to be very busy now that I have 2 little rascals to chase around the house. Luckily I have Aaron to help me out when I get tired. I have stopped going to school for the time being so that I can focus on being a mom and enjoying the last few months of having just one baby to contend with everyday. :D
Aaron is still trying to go to school with Vocational rehabilitation. At least at this point it is just a lot of paperwork that we have to do. He thinks he would like to do either Logistics or Civil Engineering. Hopefully we can have everything ready for him to start school this fall. If not he wants to start at the winter semester. Hopefully we can get things moving quicker.
We are going to have a lot of changes in our family this year and I can't wait to get started :D

The new adventures of adam and bean!

Well Adam is crawling everywhere! He figured out how to crawl the right way on christmas day. He couldn't get to dad's new toy and finally figured it out. For two days afterwards he had bruised knees and didn't want do anything. On january 3rd he figured out how to pull himself up on furniture so he has been doing that too. he also crawls over laundry baskets and will try and walk to people if you hold his hands. Although for the last week he has been shuffling around holding on to the furniture. :O
Bean is getting big right on schedule. I have an appointment on the 17th to see what we are having although I'm pretty sure its a girl. :D Adam LOVED hearing his siblings heartbeat and loves to point at the ultrasound picture on the fridge. Here is a picture of me at 19 weeks! Adam has decided that he hates the baby seat for the store carts and loves to cart surf in the actual cart!
It has been so fun being his mom these last few weeks as he figures out new things.
I am almost finished with school for this year. Once this set of classes is over I am taking an indefinite leave of absence from school. By the time the new baby is 6 months old it will be Christmas so the soonest I'll go back to school is next January so we'll see how it goes then.
Aaron is starting vocational rehabilitation from the VA basically they will be finding him the perfect job for what he likes and what will work for his disabilities! He is so excited. They will most likely send him to school for 48 months so that he can get a degree that will help him with work, if they do that they will pay he money to go to school plus medical and dental. Due to his memory problems he can't work and do school at the same time, it causes him too much stress and he can't retain enough information to do well in his classes. Wish us luck with the new changes that are coming this year!

Adam and Bean!

Well its been a really busy few months.
Adam is now crawling and getting into everything. It is more like and inch worm low-crawling in the floor but he is a fast little tyke. He has decided that he no longer wants to be held he wants to be on the floor where ever we are seeing how things works. Another of his great loves at the moment is mom and dads food doesn't matter what we are eating he wants it too. in fact I had just fed him when he was Aaron eating a salad with a pork fillet and garlic rice and he started screaming until he got some of the rice to eat too. It has made meal times that much more interesting.
Still no teeth but I have hopes that one will show up before he turns 1. I know I shouldn't compare him to other babies but sometimes I can't help it. All of my friends and families new babies (which are YOUNGER! than Adam) have teeth already and while I know he is perfectly normal I can't help but wonder if something is wrong that is making it hard for his teeth to come through. He is also the smallest one out of the group and sometimes I wonder if it is because he was early and had some breathing problems. Then I remember that Aaron was a small baby and Adam is a lot bigger than he was at this age. He is just normal not too big or too small. He is really long though he was 26 inches 2 months ago at his 6 month check-up. so I have a long skinny baby! I should have made him a string bean for halloween instead of a monkey. :D
The new baby is growing fast and other than being sore around my stomach I have been feeling great. Aaron and I have decided to nickname this baby Bean because Adam was a peanut and this one looks like a bean in my first ultrasound.
I went to the Dr on the 18th only to find out I was barely 2 months pregnant so I went again yesterday and WOW! the baby is huge comapred to how big is was 4 weeks ago. I forgot how quickly they grow. My offical due date is JULY 7, 2011! I am so excited if I have this one early too I could have a 4th of July baby or even add to the birthdays on the 1st of july in my family!
Well so far so goo I am not showing yet but I definetly can tell that I am pregnant I hate jeans around my stomach and I love to sleep again. Adam is a joy to watch grow right before my eyes, and speaking of that joy I need to go see what he is growling at. Keep you updated as I get farther along I hope to post some new pics of Adam and Bean soon.

Miracles!

This year has been full of miracles for our little family.
If you have been following this blog you know what a struggle it has been for us to have kids. We were told that we would have a 2% chance of ever conceiving a child with medical help. Well we beat the odds when we found out we were pregnant with our son.
We have been given the best miracle this year in the form of our son Adam. He has been an absolute joy to have around.
While we had beaten the odds for having our son, we figured that it would be a few years before we could get pregnant again if ever but we were still being careful just in case.
We have just gotten another miracle this year. On Halloween Sunday we found out we are PREGNANT again!!!!! :D
I am due in June 2011 not sure the date yet but I have my first dr's appointment on the 18th so I can get a better idea then. We are so excited to be bringing another child into our family.
Yes you can get pregnant on birth control! I am that proof.
I realize that this is a little close to my son's birthday but I am just so happy to have to opportunity to have another baby that as long as he or she is healthy, I don't care how close to Adam's birthday he or she is born.
We weren't planning on having a baby this soon after Adam was born. I am not about to turn down another miracle baby.
I'll keep you posted as I go from a mom of one to a mom of two!

Crazy new life

Wow
So life has been really exciting this last year.
We moved back to Utah and we love it out here but Aaron may be going to work in Wyoming we are still trying to figure that out.
But I digress we moved back to Utah on December 5,2009 and were able to get everything moved in and for the most part unpacked. We were blessed to be able to get our endowments on December 19, 2009 exactly 4 years and a month to the day we were married!
For my Christmas present this last year my husband and I were sealed to each other for time and all eternity on December 23, 2009
I will never forget the peace and love I felt that day in the temple as I looked at my husband across the alter and listen to the blessing we received.
I bet you are asking what happened to the baby? well we found out that we were having a BOY!
and we were ecstatic! I had a very normal pregnancy I only got sick twice but the first time it was a extreme migraine and I had to go to the ER and I threw up a few hours after g
etting the pain medicine so I don't count that one and the other time I had HORRIBLE pain in my side that required and ultrasound and 6 HOURS in the ER they would have released me earlier but I wouldn't stop throwing up because of the pain and then the medicine so I don't really count that either.
I did have some spotting at 26 weeks but they decided that it was nothing after having me at Labor and Delivery for 4 hours just to make sure. we never did find out what it was.
You may already hate me but get ready for more.... ;D I didn't really gain weight till about 7 months then I gained about 25 at what seemed like overnight. At 36 weeks I was having A LOT of swelling in my legs so I was in the Dr's office about every other day getting checked out. Well at 38 weeks and 5 days the Dr decided that I was getting preeclampsia and that it was time to start me so at 10:30 am on April 8th I arrived at the hospital and was checked in and was given a room and give one of those "lovely" nightgowns. about 11:30 is when they finally had me hooked up to the pitocin to get things started I was at a 3 and 90% effaced so I was thinking this could take a while and everyone was telling that the contractions KILLED with pitocin but I really didn't feel anything till about 5 or 6 pm that night. This whole time I was alone in my room as Aaron was off doing his own thing as usual. At 3 pm my Dr came in and decided to break my water thinking it would speed things up because I was only about a 5 but I was 100% effaced but I think it slowed it down. By 5pm the contractions really let me know that they were there and they hit with a vengeance. I requested some pain meds so I could sleep I only asked for half a dose because it
only last an hour so I spread it out some. By 6 pm the pain meds were not letting me sleep so I requested a Epidural and my anesthesiologist was amazing the only thing I felt was his finger nail marking my back. I was a weird one apparently because I could still move my legs and I could still feel pressure if someone pushed on my leg but other than that I was numb. Well at 7 they checked me and I was at an 7 and something at 8 pm at 9 pm I was a 9 and 1/2 so they came and checked me at 10 ans I was complete so they started getting the room ready.
I had the best nurses ever. My day nurse was named Carol and my nurse who actually helped me deliver was Besty.
I loved my nurse she knew exactly what to do. So at 10:30 they room is ready and they have me start pushing and at 11pm she called the Dr to tell him I am about to crown so he needed to get there fast. well they had me stop pushing at this point and my epidural had worn OFF!
Needless to say I not happy when 20 minutes later and the Dr was not there and the baby's head was out to his NOSE! Besty had called in a Nurse practitioner to come catch the baby. I remember her calling her in telling her.. The Dr's not going to make it in time.. well as she was gowning up in walks the Dr. he asks if I have an epidural and they tell him yes but it was worn off and he tells them to push the button! I don't think so!
I am panting and ready to cry and he finally comes over and has me push hal
f a push and the baby's head came out. after he gets his nose cleaned out he has me do half a push again and he is completely out!!! But the Dr. almost dropped him because he was so slippery. So he had little bruises on his thighs for about a weeks and a HUGE bruise on his head and it was slightly coned from having to sit at the entrance for 20 minutes.
Our beautiful Baby Boy was born at 11:24pm on April 8,2010. He weighed in at 7lbs 10 ounces
and 20 1/2 inches long!
We named our little miracle Adam Aaron Robison.
He had to spend 2 days in the NICU. he had some trouble breathing and eating at the same time but after having some oxygen for a while he was just fine, the Dr just wanted to make sure he wasn't sick.
We brought our beautiful miracle home on Sunday April 11,2010
Since then it has been one joyous adventure and discovery after another.
