Travis the kids and I had our pictures taken. Its so nice to have actual "professional" photos. We love and miss everyone!

Jacki & Jared are home, life is somewhat normal, if you call it that

 

 

 

 

Twins are coming soon

 

 

Here are some more pictures of us at the Nelson Family "Hotel". :) I am 35 weeks pregnant in this pictures (taken last week). Barb and Brittney went to Old Navy and they got coordinating tops for the girls. Aren't they cute.
Also I will be enduced on September 3rd, if I these babies don't come this week. Hopefully all will go well.

Update on Troy and Jill

We had a scare on early Sunday morning. The barometric pressure dropped (along with taking Sudafed, the ok kind for pregnant ladies) and contractions continued for 3 hours. We went to the hospital so they would stop the contractions. As they were monitoring me the contractions came as close as 3-4 minutes. Luckily I had just been given my 2nd steroid shot for the babies.

They gave me trebutaline after an hour and monitored me again for another 1.5 hours. The contractions then slowly stopped. They sent me home with more medicine and the contractions are maybe every hour if I get up and do things. So I am on a bed rest. Things have subsided and I have had a cold for the past 4 days. Already having a cold and being pregnant makes it hard to sleep. I can't take very many medicines since I am taking the trebutaline.

I am hanging in there and have a good amount of help. Rachel (my sister) came over on Sunday to give me emotional and physical help. Troy has been awesome along with Barbara. Brittney is coming today with Lili so that will be a good playmate for Marissa.

I am just over 33 weeks along and they want me to last about another 3 weeks if I can. Everything is fine with me and babies, they say we look great. The steroid shots help the babies lung develop so if they were to born this early it would be ok but not as good if we can hold off a couple of weeks. The babies estimate: girl-over 4lbs and boy- 3.75lbs. We will keep you posted.

Pioneer Day Celebration

I hope everyone enjoys the pictures from today. Lisa and the kids flew into SLC and we decided to go to the Big Day's of 47 Parade and everything on Temple Square. Enjoy!

Calm Before the Storm

Well, the doctor has started some routine Non-Stress Tests, they happen twice a week. They usually start around 29/30 weeks for mothers who are pregnant with twins and if they make it that far. I sit with two little monitors on my tummy and track the heartbeats. I can either, read, watch tv, sleep or write while they monitor me for 30 minutes. Along with these twice a week visits, I still continue a regular doctor visit every-other week and ultrasounds every 3-4 weeks. So somehow they fit those in with the stress test and keep it straight.

It kind of nice I am resting each morning for at least 30 minutes and taking a nap for at least an hour in the afternoon. Then resting at night after Marissa goes to bed. Really, my body is needing all the down time. I was telling a lady in our ward, I really like this "break" because it won't be like this in 5-6 weeks.

This is definitely as I call it the "Calm Before the Storm". Troy and his mother have been awesome with changing of the diapers, helping me feed Marissa and give her baths. I couldn't do it without them. They only thing I really have going is making the Baby girl blessing outfit, which is almost done!!!

Colette's Wedding (Jill's sister)

 

Me with Tessa Hall, Marissa and Elise Hall. During the family pictures at the reception.

 

Troy and Marissa playing while waiting for for the newly sealed couple at the temple. It was hillarious watching Troy make her laugh.

 

Marissa got stuck in this Crepe Myrtle Tree later on. That of course gave us some more good laughs.

 

Troy and I, my family had pictures the Friday before the wedding. We took tons of pictures but I think this was the best one yet.

Lisa's Makeover

So for those you haven't heard...... Lisa got a makeover at our house. Here's the scoop:
We asked Lisa to babysit on Saturday night. Meanwhile, my sister Colette had a group of friends come over. Mostly girls and a couple of guys. Some of the girls wanted to do some makeovers and on some people. Lisa happened to be asked and said sure. I couldn't believe. They tamed those bushy eyebrows and put some gorgeous make-up on her. I never thought to ask Lisa if she wanted to do that. She looked great! I mean she looks good naturally too, but this was a different look. I can't believe I didn't capture any pictures. I was totally not thinking.
Lisa did Travis get any pictures? Did he like it?

Spring!

 

 

The Hunt for the Easter Egg Candle

 

 

Well family if you can see in one of the pictures. Kailyn and Allias are really trying hard to find all of the easter eggs. But the couldn't find the most obvious one, The Green Old Man with a booty crack, Easter Egg. Theren't weren't the only ones that passed him, Tyler was the first to basically look right at the Easter Egg and went right past him. If you click on the collage it will bring up a closer picture of the collage and you will be able to tell which picture I am talking about.

Anyway, we had a great time we stuffed ourselves full of food, dyed eggs, watched Enchanted, played the Wii, rode the gator and had a hunt for the easter eggs. Thanks Travis and Lisa for coming!

my new haircut

It usually looks best on the first day of a cut, when they fix it, so here it is.

Troy and Jill's update

 
 


Here are some pictures from the last few weeks since we returned visiting Barb and Dan. People say on the ultrasound picture one of the twins looks like a turtle. I never thought about it but one of them really does look like a turtle!
