Ready or not...

Here we go! There is so much to tell it is crazy. All great news I might add...this month has flown by thank goodness and October is right around the corner.

The best news, I am already 31 weeks (tomorrow) but oh so close! That is four weeks farther than what I was when I went into the hospital. Yea!!! So exciting and so relieved! Every day matters and every week I just breathe a little easier. We have a doctor appointment on Friday again so I will give you all an update then on how our little Miss Lilly is doing.

Mary Kay business is beautiful. It is such a blessing in this home and giving somemany options it is almost unbelievable! Right now I am offering a free gift with purchase to celebrate, so please go to: www.marykay.com/kiversen to make an order and receive this great gift.

The girls are bolth doing great. Skylar will be home on Friday and we have a lot going on. She is going to be so excited when she gets home. Friday night is Family Night and well the rest of the weekend you all will have to wait to hear about, Skylar has to see for herself first.


Well this month has gone by quickly and we are really getting ready for baby Lilly. Oh, and my amazing husband finally knocked down our living room wall. It looks amazing! The floor will be finished next and our living room and kitchen will never be the same!

We also took some pics of the girls and are going to have more coming. For now enjoy these few...

Skylar's Corner

Madison spent the night and we stayed up late.

Skylar's Corner

I played with Kiera. I am a Kindergartener. My daddy is coming home in a little bit.

Home at Last!

She is home! Our beautiful, oldest princess is home. She looked so small and yet so big at the same time as she came out of her Kindergarten class. Her backpack is about as big as she is which made her look so small to me. And yet as she walked out in line with the rest of all the pint sized kiddos she seemed to have matured over night. She is in school! This is crazy. She really is growing up right before our eyes. I wanted to just cry happy tears but that would be silly. As we walked to the car she couldn't help but overly excited that me and Kiera were there to bring her home. All her mind was thinking about was coming home. She talked the whole way back lol, telling us about every detail in her class, what she is learning, her new friends etc... We love her so much and are so glad that she is home. I would write more on all of her excitement but I am sure it would be a bore to some lol. Enjoy your day all as I am sure we will now that our family is complete!

Holding on

My life the past week has been one big blur. It has been dragging on yet I can't seem to place one event to the next. I have been sitting on bedrest now for four days. Poor Kiera is taking in a whole new life change. She has to learn very quickly that mommy cannot do everything for her. It is taking a toll on her but we will make it through.

Dan had the day off again yesterday. The poor guy has been at my side since Tuesday when I went into the hospital. He is the greatest husband and daddy ever! Even after he had to stay home with me all weekend and miss hunting he stayed home yesterday to take Kiera to her first dance class. He was so proud of her, she did great. Of course she was a little hesitant at first but by the middle of class she was twirling and running around like the little dance queen she is. We love her so much, her and Kiera make our world!

Our other little princess comes home on Friday! We are so excited. No more of this prolonged time away from her. She is the other half of our world and belongs with her family. That girl is just the smartest most adorable thing ever. I can't wait to hear how her first few weeks at school have been, I am sure she has a lot to tell us.

Well time to go for the day I guess. For all you that need any skin care or need to restock your make-up cabinet (or in my case, bag) please give me a call or shoot me an email. I have a large inventory of the basics every woman needs and since I am on bed rest I can pretty much only send out things. So any do from home orders would be greatly appreciated!

Countdown to? ...take your pick

Here is to the second day home and the second day on bedrest. It is going to be a long few weeks... I am not sure yet how I plan on getting anything done. It has already proven difficult to take care of Kiera, her being so busy. I was still at the daycare and school full time though thankfully everyone in those areas are extremely supportive. It is the simple things though, like how do I make dinner for us if I am not to be on my feet, or drive to take Kiera and Skylar anywhere? The Lord will just have to help me out:)

Where should our coutdowns begin. Now that we are counting towards more than one thing. The first I guess would be the original countdown which is until Skylar comes home again. It is now Sunday the Fifth of September and she comes home on Friday the 10th! That is only four and half more days and we will picking up our little girl from school. We are all so excited to have the schedule start, we will now be with her most weekends and everyother major holiday! That's not even including summer which we were blessed to recieve most of the summer months.

The next countdown or countup as I say is the welcome of Miss Lily! Now that we have everything stable I am praying for each day to pass smoothly. With each passing day comes another week. This wednesday will be 28 weeks and that is better than 27 weeks. Every day that passes little Lily gets a little bigger and a little healthier to make her real debut. I can not believe that soon our family will be blessed with a third little princess!

Baby Still on Board

My goodness it has been a long few days...well really a long week. Little Miss Lily decided she may want to enter the world a little early. Dan and I have been in the hospital since Tuesday morning while the docs did what they could to keep her where she belongs. Wednesday we got released from one hospital just to end up at another one from then until this morning. Magnesium is one major muscle relaxer! It got my contractions to stay under control while my body fought a UTI. Now we are home after four nights in the family center and I am on complete bedrest. I will do what I need to do to keep Lily healthy and on board but it stinks when you can not even get up to throw laundry in.
On a good note although we were in the hospital for a few days Lily was doing great. Her heart rate stayed up and she was moving at least once every hour. From the numerous ultrasounds we had done we were told she is a whopping 2lbs 6oz right now. Not big enough yet of course but if we can get to full term I am predicting she will be around 7lbs. She is still going to be pretty small I think but I guess she will weigh more than Kiera did.
Speaking of Kiera, she did so well overall this week. She had to deal going back and forth to her aunts house while coming to visit Dan and I whenever she could. When at the hospital she was so well behaved. She was gentle with me after we explained that mommy was sick and could not pick her up. Her and Dan played games on the computer and watched a lot of Dora! I was so proud of her:) Now we are home and she keeps saying, "Mommy not go bye-bye." I am so glad to be home with her and so blessed overall for my girls and my husband (who did not leave my side at all during all of this). I love you guys!
