REMEMBER WHEN?

Okay, so I read McKenzie's blog and read her "Remember" post. I left a memory, so maybe she'll leave one too! Anyone else is welcome to leave memories as well!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

HORRIBLE COLOR!

I started painting my bathroom and the color is so WRONG! These pictures actually look good compared to what it looks like in person. If it really looked that good in person, I might consider keeping the color! I was going for a teal/turquoise that was light and airy. That didn't happen. I started painting and felt very nervous, but I just kept going hoping it would darken when it dried. I was almost done and just felt like crying! So I took a break thinking that when I came back it wouldn't look so bad. Was I wrong! It looks like toothpaste smothered all over my walls. I had to avoid the bathroom the rest of the day because it made me sick. I know it's just paint, but when I'm in my bathroom it feels like a swimming pool! I don't know how it went so wrong. Anyway, I'm going to paint it brown now. I'll probably want to cry again when I see the results of brown paint, but at least it won't feel like a swimming pool!

PERINATOLOGIST VISIT

Yesterday I went to see the Perinatologist and I actually got some good news! The antigen M antibodies are very rarely bad enough to have to get a blood transfusion for the baby while still in the uterus. That is a relief to know the possibilities of that happening are very slim. However, they checked the amount of blood flow in the baby's brain and because of the results, they want to see me weekly. I had no idea how that worked, but they measure how fast or slow the blood flows in the brain and then put it on a graph to see if it's flowing normally. There are 4 different zones; A, B, C, & D. Zone C is normal blood flow while zone D is too slow. Zones A & B are too fast. If the baby's blood is flowing to fast, it means they are at risk for anemia. I'm not sure what it means if it's flowing too slow. The baby's blood flow landed in zone B, which is too fast, but not fast enough to take action. We just have to monitor. If it gets to zone A, then we will probably have to do an amniocentesis to see how anemic the baby is. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point. And as far as we know, we are still "possibly" going to have a girl. Who knows. The baby is about 1 lb 10 oz. This ultrasound was so cute. The baby was opening it's mouth and then closing it and sucking. I have never seen a baby move like that in an ultrasound. Very cute to see it's little mouth open and close! Overall, it was a good visit. Much better than I had expected!

4TH OF JULY

This year for the 4th we wanted to go 4 wheeling, but Asher's 4 wheeler broke down! So we went to the parade instead. Asher and Hallie got a ton of candy and got to see all of the fun floats. Mark actually admitted the parade is not that bad. That's a surprise! Afterwards we went to Jackson to ride the Alpine Slide. That was pretty fun. It also gave the kids a chance to sleep on the way there and back. Of course we had to celebrate Kelsie too. Her birthday is on the 5th so she gets fireworks for her birthday! Anyway, we had a BBQ at Jennifer's house before the fireworks. Honestly, I think the Idaho Falls fireworks are awesome and anyone who misses them because of all the people is crazy! The fireworks were a bit loud for Hallie, but I thought they were great! Overall, we had a fun 4th of July. Can't wait until next year.
