Hi everyone!!
It's been a few days since i have updated i have been sooo busy helping out in preperation of my little sister Jessica's wedding. She will be married June 2nd its right around the corner so we are all scattering to get things done. originally they were gonna wait but dates and things were throwing them off of what they wanted ,and my hubby will be able to be there in june too yay!! So instead of 3 months from now it has been pushed back to This June ahhh! Her dress in beautiful and the brides maids dresses are just addorable Yep i will be in one ahhh all preggo too OMG!! Luckily we found some that will be suitable for me as well. The color is a dusty rose and just so pretty! My sweet Lexi will be the flower girl and Ricky may or may not play a part in it seeing as jessica already has her son Cody to be the ring bearer so we will see if there is somewhere we can squeeze in Ricky!
I am feeling good i think maybe the nausea is maybe subsiding finally and i sware i am already feeling flutters which i sometimes am telling myself i am crazy but i sware thats what it is ha ha! 13 days til lmy ultrasound ahh i cant wait to know. It will be on May 15th so not counting today and the day of i believe it 13 days lol! We do have some names for boy or girl well at least sometimes i think we agree lol! But its gonna be a secret until baby is born! We have decided to make life a little easier and just use any Initial for a girl , so thats good the pressure is off there . We just could not agree on an A name or T name together. As far as the boy its still RLW initials.
As far as the kiddos go they are great. Ricky and Alexis finally start there new school soon. I HOPE! its a little differant here and not traditional school its year round so getting them on the same track as well as the track that just started has been a task They had to have a TB screen done since they are new to the district well actually state but we took care of that 2 days ago. Today they go in for the TB read and then all paper work can finally be submitted! So i hope they get into a Track thats in session now cause they have already missed 3 weeks well there old school went back to school 2 weeks ago but still thats a while to be out of classes. The girls are great and i think Timber will be walking very soon here, what a ball of joy she is omg i just love that little thing ha ha!! Arlee is a very busy girl and is such a ball of fire lol! Daddy goes back to work soon so i will miss the time i have spent with him at home. We arent sure exact dates of him leaving yet for his journey but ill let ya'll know shortly. I think that really sums things up for now, Just hang in there with us as the big day approaches!
Lots of love

Back from my appt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everything we very well! I even had a ultrasound no pics to show ya all anything but omg!!!! I took Alexis with me and the machine was kind up up behind me and there was a glare so really hard for me to see things at all, anyhow Dr. T proceeded to do the ultrasound (just a quick one) and baby i guess was all over the place he barely could get any type of measurement or a pic at that lol! Alexis just kept laughing and mentioning how cute it was with its arms and legs flying around everywhere lol! Things got quiet for a few moments and the Dr kept staring which made me very nervous not only did he quiet but the other Dr that was in the room with him.I asked if things looked ok and if baby looked like it was ok he said one sec.............................. I think i see TWO!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL! OMG i was like huh!!! ha ha he said it really hard to tell baby just wont stay still and either its moving so much it looks like 2 or there is 2 lol! After a few more moments he said well ok i am pretty sure there is just one LOL!! So he will be doing another ultrasound at my next appt on May 23rd just to make sure it is one which like i said i am sure it is.. I will also be having my Gender ultrasound on May 15th so guess we will see for sure then too! I am positive its just one but it was funny lol!! I went home and told Rick and he was like HUH!!!!!!!!!!!! lol he said hey i agreed to 5 not 6 lol! Anyhow he is to the countdown of Ward baby and knowing if its boy or girl!!
Lots of love

Hi all ,how ya doing??
Good here, well today i will finally have my first OB appt. since we have moved to cali omg the work to get it too wheew! We are all counting down the days to our ultrasound May 15th we will find out what baby is yay! I will be 16 weeks, luckily i always find out 2 weeks shy of most people there is a wonderful placei go to here just as i did with the girls to find out. Its called ultrasona they do an amazing job. I will even be able to post video and pics for yo all to see. so cross your fingers baby cooperates lol! I cant say i am leaning for boy or girl my concern is this is a totally healthy pregnancy No complications!

Moving Day!!! here we are finally the movers are here and loading the truck as i type. Wow the past few weeks have been soooo crazy doesnt seem as there is enough yime in the day to get everything we need done. Our drive will be about 3 to 4 days we are thinking i really dont wanna push it seeing as i am so tired and the little ones prob wont last very long days. Rick will be driving one car and ill have the van with the kiddos luckily its got all the luxuries they need a DVD player and PS2 station! so that should keep them busy un til they get bored that is. The trip should be fun we are goona take some time to see things explore a little lol!
As far as the pregnancy i have been having bouts of nausea here and there but nothing extreme, by the end of the day i am so tired ughh! As soon as we get to Cali i will have another appt with hopfully an ultrasound to make sure our little bean is cooking away at jsut the right temp lol! I will be seeing my sisters Dr. whcih i am so excited about i guess lots of people are raving about him. Other than that the kids are fabulous and excited to get into our new home especially considering we have been all temprarilay in this 2 bed room for 7 months eeeek!!Talk about patience ha ha! Ournew home awaits us along with a pool and just in time for the summer! First things first a safty gate has to go up around the pool before the kids can even go back there, even though the bigger kids know how to swim it still really scares me. Anyhow thats it for now ill get back to supervising the movers ha ha! I prob wont be on for a few so stay tuned as we start yet another new chapter back in California woooo hoooo!

hi everyone well we are back from our ultrasound and all was well. we saw a little heartbeat and even got to hear it! It was amazing. My due date chnaged a little just cause my cycles are off a little and my Dr had my LMP written wrong, so looks like we will have a LIL' Turkey Nov 3 only off by a few days so she says it really doesnt make a big diff! My only concern is the heartrate was only 109 the sonographer says its fine but i have heard from others on a few pregnancy boards that there's was 120's range. I am keeping the Faith, its gotton me this far hasnt it!
Lots of love

Hey ya'll our ultrasound had been reschduled for today at 3:30pm i am really hoping for good news from this. I feel great other than the past few days i have neem feeling sick to my stomach so i guess thats a good sign. I am still a little worried because they have put me on progesterone my levels are low they like to see at least 15 and i guess i am only at 10.5 she is callinng it borderline i dont know too me its kind of scares me but i am trying to be very positive, and praying alot. It may or may not be too early to see the heartbeat tomarrow my dates may be off so the dr said not to be alarmed if we dont see anything. The only thing is this is the last visit i have until we move to Cali so if nothing tomarrow i wont be able to know anything until we get settled in california. But here is to Hope! we found a house in Cali thats very nice it has a pool which is my only concern but we are taking every precaution possible. a safty fence is goig in around it first thing as well as 2 diff types of pool alarms, one is around the pool so if anythign touches the water or falls in a alarm will sound to notify us. Eeek its still scary the god thing is i will be able to teach the kids water safety! many locks on gates and doors are being installed as well you never can be too safe! and i am talking every precaution!!! So the packers pack us ou on the 27th and then just a few days after we are on our way!! Cali here we come woooooo hooooooooooo!!!

Stay tuned for the update of our appt! Please pray all is well for us and our already loved baby #5

Ok the secret is out !! Yep can you believe it baby # 5 is on the way and we are so thrilled!!! Of corse this is definately the last we will add to this growing family lol! Our final 5th i guess you could say. Of corse thats what we said about Timberly lol! No but really we are truly blessed and extremly excited to be given the chance once again to bring a beautiful child into the world! I pray that this road ahead is a safe and very heathly pregnancy and blessings from above we ask for.
The kids are doing wonderful and are so excited to be big sister and big brother again. Of corse Arlee and Timberly dont quite know whats ahead yet but Ricky and Alexis are sooooooooo happy! The first thing Ricky said was OMG mom Santa must of knowni wanted a brother see he just brought it late LOl!! It was so funny. I had to tell him it could be a sister ha ha. Either way thye are so happy. Alexis is super excited she was the first one i told i took my test and thought i was seieng things i called her in and asked her " do you see 2 lines or one?" This was her reply " OMG MOM your gonna have a baby" she jumped up and down lol it was soooo cute. So i waited about 4 days to retest just to make sure and i used a digital this time just to make certain and sure enough POSITIVE!!!

Alexis omg ok she wanted a pink Razor cell phone so bad and for months now i have been saying NO WAY but really i got it like last month so keeping it hidden was the hard part. Christmas Morning they opend all there pressies and then i think at that point didnt even realize she didnt get it she was so happy with everything else she got. I looked up and said" whats that?" it was a little note card with clues on it. I got my video camera out MY BRAND NEW ONE hee hee i was soo happy to use it, anyhow she read the clues as i went on taping. one of the rhymes in it said now that you found this you know thats not it call this number to see what you get!! So she dials away and the next clue while her phone is ringing away lead her right to it!! OMG she cried and cried and cried with total JOY!!! at that moment she ran to me crying saying thank you mommy thank you !!! i am at that point holding the video camera crying myself and realized that whole moment i missed on video, i guess i didnt press the button hard enough ughhh i was so mad!!! But i did however get the end part where she cried its cute i did make her re enact it for me so i could get it on tape. Its soo cute!! ill post the video soon my hubby still has to instal the new driver for me to load the camera.

12/21/2006
Hi all, wow just a few days till Christmas woo hoo i think we are pretty much set, i still have a few things here adn there to pick up but most of the other things are set. Got some great footage of Timber i need to get up she is so funny now and pulling herself up onto everything i must say she gets into everything too ha ha! we went to the dr and my lttle one is not so little anymore she now is weiging in at 17 pounds 9 ounces wheew lol! No teeth yet but none of my kiddos have ever gottoen any teth before 11 months and Arlee took even longer she didnt even get her 1st one till 16 months crazy huh. Speaking of Arlee i was with her tonight for quite some time in the mergency room her fever was 104.8 and made me very scared, even after motrin it still was 103.8 by the time we got to emergency. Turns out the Dr. thinks she has a bladder/ kidney infection so my poor baby is on antibiotics. What an awful experience the hospitol was too omg! after a cathider put in her omg she was terrified and strapped down to a table just so they could get a good urince specimen i was in tears. The they decided it was time for some suppositories to make her temp down faster my poor baby being poked and proded i know it was all for the better but gosh i hate seeing them go through that. I did get her wight too though she is a big girl now at 27 pounds and growing like a weed. she is sii strong it tok 5 dr.s in there to help hold her down i was soo shocked and how strong that little Turkey is. Seeing her strapped down like that was ooh just awful , i just kept kissing her little forhead telling her mommy was sorry and i was there with her . She is all setted now and in bed resting and i know she is feeling alot better especially with her fever down now. As for my other kiddos today is the last day of school before the break then they go back Jan 8th. Hmm i think thats really all for now, just a quick hello and a very Happy Holidays to you all!!!
Lots of love
