2009 was GREAT...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! HERE'S TO 2010!!!

On the Night before Christmas...

...And all through my Uncle and Aunt's house... Not a creature was stirring, well, except for a little stinker name GOOBER!!!

This is Declan before this lovely little story happened...
So sweet and innocent right???

Kris, Declan and myself went to Manila to my Aunt and Uncle's house on Christmas Eve. We ate yummy Food, Egg Nogg, and just visiting. Well, all of sudden my mom says, "Guess where Declan just was found." I said, "What? I thought you were watching him." Dez found him in the dryer. Holly was airing it out, and he decided to climb in... WHAT A GOOB!! Pictures speak for themselves (thanks Dez for taking them) hahahhaa!!!

"Uh???"

"What??"

"You can't be mad at me..."

"What are you all staring at??"

He's a cute little stinker... I'll give him that...

Mullins's Christmas 2009...

We woke up Declan to open a few presents, yes, I woke him up. I know soon that will be the opposite of my kids waking me up... but it was just fun to see his face and try his new toys and tell him he can finally open all that was under the Tree for so long that he COULDN'T TOUCH...

We spent Christmas Day at Kris's parents home here in Green River, WY. It was fun and relaxing. I love Kris's family... and love spending time with them. We got spoiled rotten from everyone here as well--Kris, myself, and Declan. It was great. THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, LOVE YOU ALL!!

I got to close the Office here the Motel all day. Just put up a sign and had my cell # on it in case of an emergency. I didn't get called all day. It was a CHRISTMAS MIRACLE... We of coarse ate a yummy dinner. Turkey, and finger food galor. My favorite. I can eat that stuff all day long. We also busted out the Wii :)

Declan got a Lightning McQueen Power wheel from Grandma and Grandpa E... He's not quite the best driver in the world, but he's getting it for a 2 year old...Declan still not awake, thus the yawn. I had to wake him up... and it looks like Kris and Declan were both visited by the hair fairy while sleeping...ahahhaa!!!

Kris and his Under Armor he loves so dearly...

I bought Declan a McQueen CD player. He loves it, and it's so nice just to put music on at bedtime and let him fall asleep to music...

The aftermath in my front living/family room...Aw, lovely Christmas :)

Quite the professional wrapping paper ripper... He enjoyed every presentBubble Bath Markers, Bubble Bath Bubbles, Bath Toys... He likes baths :)FISHY!!Declan and his new book and Grandma...Kris and his lovely outfit, hair, face, and Darth Vader Mug in his hand :) hahaPapa, Kalab and Kym opening Presents...and Declan wanting to helpJon and Rachel..My little Goober wearing his new Beanie, gloves, all ready to go outside and play...My two favorite guys in my life!!

I HOPE YOU HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Truth Be Told...

I'M PREGNANT!!!

We are excited, nervous, scared, and definitely SURPRISED!!!

I have been calling this one our sneaky baby... and here's why:

--Stopped taking pills in June

--Bleed only for 2 days in August

--Nothing in September

--Nothing in October

This is was not normal for me. I'm pretty regular. So I was thinking something was wrong and I needed to go to the doctor. Well, I went on November 6th, 2009-Friday. They took my blood and made me go get an ultra sound on my ovaries. I did not get the results, since it was the beginning of a weekend. I finally got the results Tuesday, 10th. I talked to the nurse and she said, "Well, umm... your blood came back 'normal', pregnancy test negative. And, umm...but...we found a LARGE MASS on you right ovary...and we don't know what it is. Could be backed up fluid, cyst, and maybe... So, we need you to come in for a cat-scan. Is that okay?" I started crying. Automatically thought the worst since she played around it *CANCER*(even though my blood came back 'normal'). So, I had many things run through my head. I told Kris, "What if it is Cancer and I can't have anymore kids." Kris reassured me, "We'll just have to get this taken care of...and if you can't have anymore kids, we'll adopt."

So I went in the next day, 11th. My doctor is now in Evanston Wyoming, Dr. Evans. I really feel comfortable with her, and I trust her. So, I did all that yucky stuff for cat-scan's. Drank digusting stuff before the cat-scan... they gave me an 'IV'. Did all that, got the results the next day. Whatever it was on my right ovary went away, but I had a small cyst on my left ovary which she said, "We saw it on the ultra sound before the cat-scan, and it's now smaller, so it's going away." So you could say I was relieved!

The next day, we had a Volleyball game. I was sore, tired, but oddly enough (sorry to get graphic) my boobs hurt!! BAD! I did not think anything of it. Just thought my body physically and emotionally have been through a lot, so maybe that's why they hurt. Well, 5 days later, the 17th they were STILL hurting. So, I just decided, "What the hay, I'll take a pregnancy test."... IT WAS POSITIVE!!

What??!!!?!?!!!?? I can't be. How can I be?? I just had a test done the 6th...?? I haven't had a period since August....??? . . . Then it hit me--> CRAP!! I just had all that crap done to me. Gross stuff I had to drink, and a CAT-SCAN! I probably hurt the baby!! So I called Kris crying.

So then I called my doctor/nurse and told them what was going on. She was as surprised as me, and told me to go up to the Castle Rock Clinic to get blood taken to see how far along I am. I got the result the next day, the 18th, and my HCG Levels were 3,000+ already. So I got an appointment on the 25th for my first pregnancy appointment.

Dr. Evans came in and said, "You like to be the fun, interesting, difficult patient don't you?", All while smiling. I said, "Umm. No, I'll let someone else take that job...but I guess I got hired without even knowing." She did an ultra sound to measure to see exactly how far along I was.. since WE DEFINITELY HAD NO CLUE. So, she looked and said, "Definitely an Angel Baby there...and you are SIX WEEKS." So, that meant I got pregnant in October...somehow?? :)

So, then she says, "I do not know why the first blood test didn't detect it in the first place?? Probably did not implant yet. Do not worry about all the cat-scan and such. I bet you have been worrying about that. There are plenty of ladies who HAVE to have cat-scans while pregnant...so it's fine. Everything looks good. Saw the heart beat. The baby is where it's supposed to be. Everything looks great."

SOOOOOOO.... Yeah, SURPRISE!! I gotta say, I'm blessed above and beyond. I'm scared, nervous, happy, excited...scared. I can't help but think of the "what-if's", and what all happened with Declan. I talked to my doctor about my previous kiddo, since she was not my doctor, so she did not know what had happened. How he was 5 weeks early. Life flighted. Almost lost him. Stayed in the Hospital for a month.

She was looking at me and I just looked at her and said, "I am excited. If I'm supposed to have another kid, and be surprised like this, then I'm supposed to have this baby like this... but I just DO NOT want another early baby. That's what I'm nervous about." She said, "You know. Things like that just happen. Happen for no reason, or maybe you had an infection that wasn't caught...and that's why your water broke early. I understand...but I'll take care of ya."

She really made me feel good...

Like I said, I am blessed. I haven't quite grasped what is going on. Sure I have had a kid before and know what to expect, but pregnancy is just an amazing thing, a miracle. Declan is going to be a wonderful big brother. He is such a good son to us. So loving, caring, fun, entertaining... just a good kid. So glad he was given to us...and fought to be with us. I am lucky without a doubt!

I just pray for a healthy baby...strong baby...and a OVER DUE baby...

There's Halloween and Declan's Birthday all below...

Please Be Advised that there are a lot of pics...

Thanks for taking your time here on my blogg :D

My Sweet Baby is 2!!!!

Well, My darling little Goober is 2 today... I get pretty chocked up on his birthday. I can not believe that it is even possible how time has flown. How much he has changed in two years. How much he has grown in two years. How he continues to bless our lives EVERYDAY by just the simple things in life. I can not imagine not having Declan in our lives. He definitely will make anyone smile on a bad day. He humbles me. He brings me back from earthly troubles, and makes me realize what we are really here on earth for. FAMILY. The GOSPEL. To grow. To learn. To never give up... which he has shown in his first month of life. He did not give up. Heavenly Father gave him strength to not give up, and to be here with us. He is so loving and caring. Sometimes I just stare at him and think, "Did I really help make this precious little guy?" It truly is the best thing on EARTH to be a parent, to be a MOM...

Here are some pictures of his birthday party yesterday with the family and friends... and some that I took today

*A lot so bare with me*
