MISSION GAIN ALOT!

Wow, I never thought I'd try so hard to gain weight! 

Im constantly trying to snack on something, and you'd think oh thats nice but when there is a baby in you always kicking and making your stomach feel really tight, then filling yourself up with more and more food is almost painful! Im not in pain, its just uncomfortable at times.

I went to the doctor yesterday and ive gained only about 8 pounds since ive been pregnant and Im right about 23 weeks(beginning of my 6th month). My doc said EAT EAT EAT!!! 

So here I am:

23 weeks, 107lbs!

Thats the most I have ever weighed! Im pretty proud of myself :] ! But other than my weight gain, baby Addison is doing great, her heart beat is strong and she is kickin mom all day long!

And tell me this is not the cutest thing youve ever seen:

She is just gunna look so stinkin cute in this!

Im Back!

I feel like I havent blogged in forever! lol!! I was using free wifi from people that didnt have passwords on their stuff, then ALL THE SUDDEN they all stopped working! Like they put passwords on their wifi! How dare people! lol So we got our own internet finally! hahah!

AND we got a house phone! I feel like an official family now ! Cant wait for the prank calls to come in...RONI AND BEN!! I say bring it on!

So I took a tour of Paul Mitchell yesterday. It is FAR, 35th ave and bethany home. Ill do what I gotta do though! It a nice school, small classes so Id get alot of help. Im excited to start soon though.

Guess who I had over for the weekend!!!

My family dog Sadie! She is soooo stinkin cute! BUT she looooooooves Niels! She forgot all about me all weekend and was his lil buddy! 

She sat on him while watching tv, cried at the door whenever he left, slept on him and even waited outside the bathroom door for him! I have to admit, I was a little jealous lol 

She was so entertaining when we had out little hamster Mumbles in her ball. She just follewed her ball around and was so confused as to what was in the ball! lol 

So cuteee! 

I got the wedding pics! I put a ton up on my facebook! So anyone that isnt friends with me on the book of face, add me!

The beginner cook.

A little update on my dad and Jeannie, my dad is doing awesome! his blood pressure went back to normal almost instantly! The rest of his kidney finction are all normal too. He should be coming home tomorrow night! Jeannie got to go home last night. Shes doin pretty good too, shes walkin around just a little bit, shes pretty sore. Shes in a little more pain just cause she got something takin out, but shes doin great too! Im so glad everything went perfectly!

Who loved the weather yesterday?! Um, meeee!! I had the doors all open and the air off! it was perfect! I feel like those days are the perfect days to clean your house, so thats what I did while Niels was working! Im also becoming quite the cook! Yesterday I made cheesy potato soup in my crock pot... I get really nervous when i cook cause I want it to be perfect! And I definitly had to pat myself on the back for this one!

I will for sure be making this again soon!

Tonight I made porkchops(on the george foreman!), corn on the cob and some cheap rice that tasted delicious! Im stuffed for sure. I cant wait to become the best cook EVER!

Paul Mitchell the school called me the other day! I have a tour of the school scheduled next week and I am SOOO excited! Hello student loans though! I have a feeling it will be totally worth it in the end though. My Plan is to one day open up a salon/spa that will be all fancy shmancy and you can get whatever you wanted done there! It will be awesome!

The Surgery!

So for those of you that dont know, my dad has a kidney disease(i couldnt tell you the proper name of it!) that runs in the Durnan family. For awhile his kidney function has gotten lower and lower to the point that they were going to put him on the list for a transplant and he would have had to be put on dialysis. Well my step mom Jeannie wanted to see if she would possibly be a match for him so she could donate her kidney to him, but my dad wouldnt let her at first.. lol men! :] Well anywho, she got tested, had the same blood type and eventually turns out her kidney was a perfect match for him!

My grandma also needs a kidney transplant, and we just found out today at the hospital my uncle Larry was in the clear to donate his kidney to her!

So today was the surgery, Niels and I got to the Mayo Clinic really early this morning and watched them go off! After a few hours the doc came out, told us the transplant went well. While they were connecting everything to the new kidney in my dad, the kidney turned a blue color(not good), the doctor said it was very strange, so he took it back off and found a blood clot starting to form in one of the artery's. So then, he fixed that right away and gave him some blood thinners and the surgery carried on. Thank god the doctor caught the clot in time, otherwise it could have been an epic fail! So they are both in recovery now and doin good. Dad will be in the hospital till about friday, I hope his body and the kidney get along! lol

Something really cool that happened at the hospital today was my uncle Joe came to the hospital this morning in his military uniform cause he had came from work... And throughout the day so many people came up to him and shook his hand and told him thank you for his service, one lady even bought his lunch in the hospital cafiteria! It was awesome! I love to see that there are people out there that really do appriciate what these men and women do for our country. My family is a military family, I have about 4 close unlces and an aunt that serve and its nice to know people other than friends and family are thinkin of them!

Aunt Becky

Uncle Larry

Oh! Little Addison has been very active today too :]

Shes getting so big!

My kinda Busy/not so busy day..

Well today I finally got the last load of laundry in the wash from our trip. It seemed like it was never going to end! Then my friends Chrissy and Tarah came over and saw my new and improved place(it was a hit!), and we went out to lunch to YC's Mongolian Grill. To anyone that hasnt been there, you must try it! I have never been let down, but mainly thats because you can make your food anyway you could possibly want. Its delicious. In fact I have left overs and I might warm it up now! :] I also finally got my room all cleaned up! Now all thats left is putting the new comfortor on the bed!

Niels and I spent some time at my dads house tonight. He is having a kidney transplant in the morning. My step mom was a match for the transplant, so she is giving him her kidney.
I think that that is just amazing! I hope that God has put Niels and I in each others lives for a crazy reason like that, ya know?! I mean, I dont wish either of us need a transplant in the future or anything like that.. but ya know what Im trying to say right?! lol I love Niels so much!! I believe our purpose is to make a beautiful family like his mom and dad did! I adore the Whipple family! I want to be like them and make cute litte family traditions for each holiday and just be a real close family. Thats mainly all I want in life! And I think Im off to a great start!

After pop's house I came home and showered. Niels puts lotion on my legs for me cause now Im at the point where its uncomfortable to bend down. I no longer can see my toes when i look down! Now I am watching Niels make a very over-sized pancake at midnight!

Overall, I'd say a pretty good day!!

What now?!

Totally dont know how I use this thing yet, but I think Im starting to figure it out.. :] So Im going to start this blogging thing to keep me occupied and just because it looks like fun! Now I can talk with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law about all these other blogs they see haha! Well, my home is FINALLY looking homie after the wedding!. My husband Niels has worked all day long the past couple days to make my living room look just the way I wanted, and hes done great! Im extremely lucky!

Niels and I woke up this morning to little baby Addison kicking this morning, she is always awake in the mornings! I heard that means she will be born in the morning(hopefully not, Im not a morning person!). Niels always tries to catch her kicking but once he puts his hand on my tummy she stops. Shes kind of stubborn, like her mommy! :] Oh, and for anyone wondering how our honeymoon was, it was awesome and beautiful! I wouldnt mind buying a little beach house in the Bahamas one day!

Well, Im really excited about this whole blogging thing by the way! Cant wait to have a bunch of blogs!!

I feel like Im "In, with the in!"
