Cool Birthday Gift

So since my birthday was spent in the hospital I didn't get my gift til the day after... Kevin and the girls got me a Wii. This thing is so cool and we've had hours of family fun since. These pictures of the girls crack me up... Shea is very good at the wii sports.

Ava is a little serious but she also loves baseball and repeats everything the umpire says.

Ava's face keels me in this one!

Our Visit with Kelsey

We got a really fun visit with the girls friend Kelsey and her family! Kelsey's dad Chad and Kevin have been friends since they where 7 years old. I met Amanda and Chad when Kevin and I where married and we've all been friends now for over 8 years. (they are the reason we moved to AZ) It's amazing to see our families growing and have children so close.

The girls love Kelsey and cracked each other up all day!

Kelsey is just so beautiful I had to post this picture. She has an infectious laugh and the cutest scratchy voice.

Kelsey has a new baby brother, this is the 1st chance we got to meet him. He's such a big boy and he loves to smile and give snuggles. Cole is 6 months old and we loved the little time we got to spend with him.
The drive to Canon City was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Thanks Montoya family for spending your Sunday with us!

Adalyn is Born!

We have a new member in our family. Kevin's sister Shannon had a beautiful baby girl on April 13th at 725pm she weighed 7lbs exactly and was 20 & 1/4 inch long. The girls are so excited to have a new baby cousin.

Welcome Adalyn Alene Owlsey

Just in case

I cleaned out some of our boxes from the move and the girls have loved playing in this empty box. Kevin and I were talking and now we know even if we lost everything and had to live in a cardboard box the girls would be perfectly HAPPY!

Easter Eggs!

Grandma, Aunt Shannon, and cousin Kendyl came over today and we dyed eggs!

Happy Birthday @ the Hospital

That's right yesterday's quick check up on my birthday turned in to a whole day at the hospital.

The original plan was check up, lunch with mom and sis, massage (really needed it), and birthday dinner party at my mom and dad's house.

Instead this is how the day went.....

Went to Dr. feeling very sick and tired and just a little off since Monday. When they measured me I was measuring a little small, and Dean's heart rate was a little slow. So the Dr. thought it best to hook me up to the monitor, after laying me down to get hooked up I felt my eyes roll back in my heat and my heart started beating faster and I felt dizzy. They got me on my side and elevated my feet. While on the monitor Dean's heart beat was much better but his movements where not getting picked up. Off to the hospital I was sent to be monitored.

Got checked in and monitored BABY IS GREAT!

It was me that was all screwed up. I had to be at the hospital for 10 hours... Did you know I could have stayed out of the hospital on my birthday if I would have just ate things like....

The blood work from the Dr. showed my potassium was low at 2.8. Blood work was redone 2 hours later at hospital and it had dropped to 2.2 (good rage 3-5)

It had dropped rapidly and I needed to take pills and be put on a potassium IV (4 of them actually). Now some of you might know this but lack of this mineral during pregnancy can make you dizzy, give you high blood pressure, and in rare cases cause pre-term labor. Also if you've ever had to have a potassium IV I'm so sorry.... because it makes your arm feel like it's on fire (I wanted to rip my own arm off) I needed 4 IV's each IV takes an hour.

After all the IV's and 8 pills... blood work came back 3.2 I got to go home at midnight! I'm happy to be home and now just watching my diet adding the foods above to keep me home until it is really time to have lil man.
