Long time no blog









Hey everyone. Happy New Year! Sorry it's been so long. We had a very busy Christmas vacation. It was awesome.
First of all, Kainoa's dad and Kaitlyn came down and we all drove to Vegas to watch the Vegas Bowl. We met Kainoa's mom, his sister Leimomi, and the Todds there. We stayed at the Excalibur hotel. We were there for 3 nights. Sadly BYU lost but we were so happy that RJ got to play. It was all worth it. He made a great block that led to a touchdown. He was even highlighted on ESPN. We're so proud of him and excited to watch him play more next year.
When we got back, we spent one night at our house, then went over to American Fork and slept over at the Todds. We wanted to spend as much time together as we could. This was the first time since we were married that Kainoa's entire family was together. We had a great Christmas and New Year's. We even were able to watch a movie. Kainoa's mom wanted to take her boys to watch Twilight. I had no objections. It was my second time watching it. I won't mention how many time his mom, dad, sister, and Kaitlyn watched it =).
It was sad when they had to leave the day after New Year's. It's always sad to see them go. Mom Willing will be back in March but who knows when we'll be able to see Dad Willing, Leimomi and Kailtyn again.
Speaking of March, I'm so excited. I have about 9 more weeks to go with this pregnancy. Crazy huh. I'm really popping out now. People at church were telling me that they could hardly tell I was pregnant before but now I'm starting to really show. I just had a doctor's appointment this past week. Every thing looks good so far. My c-section (yikes!) is scheduled for March 10th. I'm getting a c-section because my old doctor recommended it since my last two deliveries were difficult ones. I'm a little scared of being cut open and for the recovery. My mom should be here before my c-section if I don't go into labor before that. I just worry about the kiddies. I know we have family here that can take care of them but I'll miss them when we're in the hospital.
I don't think I mentioned this before but a couple of months ago the doctor found that the baby's kidneys were a little dialated or mildly enlarged. It was quite a scare for us. It could probably fix itself but if not surgery would have to be done after the baby was born. It's also linked to Down syndrome. We went in to a specialist and had another ultrasound done and the kidneys still look enlarged but just a little. They're just going to keep watching it and hopefully it will be okay. I also spoke to a genetics counselor and she informed me that the rest of my tests came back normal and that I didn't have anything to worry about. Yeah, like I wouldn't worry. I'm doing better now and pretty much left it up to Heavenly Father. I figured I shouldn't worry about things that I can't change. I know that everything will be fine. I have another ultrasound this Friday and I'll try and get back on here with an update. We've been praying and we know that we'll love this baby no matter what happens.
We love you all and hope that it won't take me more than a month to get another blog in. A hui hou!
