Last Weekend

I went on Thursday to my doctors and my ultrasound. Sawyer is doing really well and she has gained a pound and a half, she weighs 4 1/2 pounds now. I also had my stress test and she noticed that I was having regular contractions and not just Braxton hicks so she checked me and I am already 1 cm dialated. I hope that I stay like that for a while so we wont be having her anytime soon. I pretty much can't do anything which is ok with me because I still have a cold and don't feel up to doing much anyway. If I continue to have more contractions I might have to be put on bed rest and take some medicine to keep her in longer. So I really am just trying to keep the down low and my house shows for it. It has been hard trying to keep up with the boys and Trey is acting out bad lately, and can't handle him sometimes especially with my hormones going crazy! If I can keep her in 3 more weeks than I will be full term and everything will be ok. I know that the lord is blessing her and knows when the right time for her to come will be.
We took our last trip the last weekend to Hurricane for the deer hunt and it was a lot of fun. I will post pics when I feel up to it. My parents and family are always there to help me out especially at this time it was nice to get a break with the boys. It was good to see everyone that I saw and can't wait to go back down for Christmas. We are all sick with colds and it hasn't been much fun. I hope that our health will get better by the time that Sawyer comes so she wont get sick. I will post pics later

Check ups

Today I took Pace into the doctors to get his 18 month check up and shots. They asked me if I wanted him to get a flu shot but I said that I would wait till I got Trey's.They said that Trey could get one also,so poor pacers got 4 shots today. He wasn't happy and fell asleep right away once we got on the road. He is doing really good and weighs 22.8 which is 12% and and is 34 inches which is 90%. Looks like both of our boys are going to be tall and skinny. I am hoping that the boys will not get fevers tonight and will be happy tomorrow. Trey is almost 26 pounds and is 38 inches tall. He is in 3T pants and they fit perfect length wise but not around his waist. I cant believe that my boys are growing up so fast. They need to stay small. Trey is really excited for Baby Sawyer to come and seeing him with other baby's he is going to be so sweet with her when she comes and be my little helper. And Pace knows that there is a baby in my tummy, it will be interesting to see what he thinks of her when she comes in a few months.
An update on sawyer is she is very healthy which I am thankful for. I didn't get to see how much she weighs because they only do it every two weeks. So I have another ultrasound next Thursday. Also I am going to go do my stress tests at my doctors office instead of the fetal center. I'm glad that I only have to go there once a week now.

2 Nieces

Both of our brothers today went and got there ultrasound to find out what they are having. And it looks like Sawyer is going to have some buddy's. It will be fun to get some girls on the Cox side since we are already have 4 boys. I am so excited and can't wait for the end of Jan and first of march to see them. Congrats Guys! Here is also a picture of me at 32 weeks



Also my friend Christa from the ward is throwing me a baby shower tomorrow so I can't wait for that. I am so thankful for her for being there for me lately and am very thankful for her friendship. She has become a really good friend that I can always count on. We are also going to Hurricane for the deer hunt and can't wait to see everyone that we haven't seen in a long time. It will be our last trip till Sawyer comes and then we will be back down for Christmas. Until then nothing really has been happening and we are just enjoying the time with our boys before all of ours lives change in a few months. I have my ultrasound on monday and hoping that she has gained the weight that she needs to, so I don't have to keep going in. My weekly email says that she is suppose to be 3 1/2 by now and so she needs to gain 10 more ounces to keep up. Hopefully I can eat like a mad woman this weekend to put some weight on her. :) I will keep you updated when I find out more.

The last 9 wks are going to be busy!

Everything looks like it is going to be fine and they aren't planning on taking her out. She gained 7 oz the last 2 weeks and weighs 2lbs 14 oz. They are still worried about her being so small that I now have to go to the Woman's Fetal Center twice a week to get an Ultrasound and a Stress test. I have never had this much attention on either of my boys and they were both small so I am a little overwhelmed right about now. Knowing where to take the boys every time I have to go, paying $50 every week. They better give me some sort of discount with going there that much. :) On top of that going to my regular doctors every two weeks. Other than that She is perfectly fine and doing very well and I get to see her every week. She has already changed so much. As long as she stays in for another 6 weeks she will be full term. Thank you for all of your prayers we really appreciate it and I will continue to keep you all updated.

She looked more like DJ today in most of her pictures, but still looks like Pace I think. From now on we get to see what she looks like every week till she comes. I am not complaining! :)

Another post about Sawyer

I am now going to the doctors every two weeks and It feels like I go every week. My doctor is wanting me to go in for another ultrasound so I have one set up for Monday to see if she is continuing to grow. She said that if she hasn't grown in the last few weeks that we might have to have a c-section right away to see why she isn't. So I really don't want that so please pray that she is growing and that she is gaining weight. It scares me, but I know that everything will be ok. I will have good news on Monday for you! :)
