It's been YEARS! Have you missed me?

Hey my Peeps!!
It's been such a long, long, LONG time since I've updated my blog! It was crying and begging for my attention, so I caved and came to take a look at it and decided to take a little time and write a few updates for y'all!
So, I've had another baby!!! It's a miracle, literally!! 
After trying everything we could affordably do, including some fertility treatments, we just could not have another baby. It was discouraging, disappointing, but, we also trusted in The Lord and we know for certain that as long as we're doing what's right, and following God's direction, then everything happens the way it's supposed to and The Lord will guide us on the path we're supposed to be walking. So we knew if we'd have another baby that it would be in His timing, not our own, and that it would be in His manner and way, if it even happens at all. I am also very grateful for the two girls I have, recognizing they they, too, are miracles in and of themselves! I almost lost all three children before they were born with multiple complications, so if I could never have had another child of my own, I was ready to accept that and change my attitude to be one of satisfaction and peace for having just two children even though we had originally wanted 4 to 6 children. 
So, after Tyler came back from his 18 month forever Army training and serving in S. Korea, we were both extremely surprised and shocked that I got pregnant right off the bat! I mean gosh, my little boy wasted no time in making sure he was getting here! 
Tyler got home August 30th, 2011, and Liam Tyler Frampton was born on April 30th 2012! He was born 5 weeks premature and was in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for several weeks. He was a very sick baby boy. His lungs and heart weren't developed all the way and he couldn't eat on his own being so tired, sick, and weak, so he had a feeding tube the entire time. 
It was one of the most difficult things we've both, (Tyler and I), ever been through! Our baby boy who is pleasant, happy, and energetic by nature, was suffering, and it tore us up inside to watch this first-hand.
I will share my entire labor and birthing story later, because it was a very traumatic, crazy, scary, and almost life-taking experience that really should be shared, but I do need to cut this short. 
Liam is 9 1/2 months old now (OH MY GOSH!!!) and Lacie is now 9 and Sophie will be turning 7 in two weeks!! This is just insane that our children are this old already and growing up so stinkin darn fast!!! 
We are living on an Army base that's on the border of Tennessee and Kentucky and have mixed feelings about this area haha. The base seems to be pretty boring and dull. Every time I'm out and about all I can do is dream up ways of fixing up the place, upgrading, redesigning, and refabbing everything! It needs COLOR and STYLE and some excitement and beauty around here like something fierce!!
Just around the base it's pretty ghetto. I wouldn't EVER be caught walking around out there at night, or even during the day, all alone. No way! There are robberies and murders, rapes, shooting-outs, all that stuff plus drugs and lots of accidents and deaths caused by DUI morons, not to mention the nudie bars and under-age drinking, etc., etc. It's just gross and crazy-scary and dangerous, SO, we like to venture out further like to Clarksville, TN and Nashville, TN. 
There is a lot of beauty around here if you drive a little further out from the base in any direction. A lot of Amish, Menonite, and Shaker's live out here, too. 
Lately Ty and I have been having a lot of fun Picking antiques and what-nots, visiting antique stores and second-hand stores, refabbing up our finds, turning them around, and selling them. 
Tyler's still a cook in the Army and he's been going to school full-time and not working, which has been really nice :).
Now back to taking care of my cute, big baby boy, Liam, and getting the girls ready for a sleep-over. :)

Another update, AGAIN! :)

So here's another update for y'all, and for me, too.
Right now I have a massive tension headache so excuse me if I ramble or don't make sense or whatever.

My midwife called me back today (our phones have been off all week) and gave me results to my annual and an ultrasound I had done, etc.
I am borderline P.C.O.S. afterall. I have it and all the symptoms, it's just not that severe in my blood, if that makes sense. So to treat it they wanted to put me on birth control pills. A friend of mine was telling me that those are some of the worst things to take for it cuz they could make me never ovulate again!
So I have the two most common causes of infertility: endometriosis and p.c.o.s.
Sucky, eh?
Then my ultrasound results showed enlarged ovaries and tonz of cysts in them. So there's the reason for my bad pelvic pain. No fun!!
They said it's from taking Clomid probably. We'll see, though.
So I have this month and next month to get pregnant and if I don't then I have to either see a Fertility Specialist or start treating my P.C.O.S.

Also, I stopped taking my anti-deppresant anti-anxiety meds and so far I feel SO MUCH BETTER!! I have ENERGY!!!!!!! I feel better getting up, too. It's helped so much having my CPAP machine! And also I started taking Magnesium like 400mg a day. It's helped a HUGE amoutn as well! I used to have muscle spams and cramps SO SO BAD and muscle weakness and tightness. Now I don't nearly as bad. It's great!
Also, since getting off those stupid meds my skin is SOFT again! Instead of dry, bumpy, itchy skin it's smooth and soft and cleared up.

Tyler and my dad gave me a blessing yesterday and it was good. I will feel more pain for a bit but I will be well soon and healthy again. I'm so happy about that! I hope I can start losing weight with this gained energy I have.

I've been more emotional lately, too, but supposedly it's because of the Clomid. It tends to do that. So such is life with female stuff huh? haha

Tyler and I are still getting by miraculously with everything. Thanks to his parents we finally got our cell phones turned back on! YIPEEEE!!!!!

Please pray that Tyler finds a good job, soon, k? We don't care where, just where his school is and it can keep us from getting sued again and again.

Love to you all

Adventures in Walmart

So today was an adventerous day for us to say the least. or just intersting anyway lol.
Here's some T.M.I. to start with, though. I started my "monthly thing" and it's been HORRENDOUS like last month!! Like every hour I'm having MAJOR issues and having to change everything I'm wearing.
Today was also our 4th year Temple Sealing Anniversary. I'm always so excited to get to this day! It's so special to me cuz it marks the day that our family was made into an Eternal one, not just "until death".
Every year we spend the entire day doing things as a family and try to make it fun and special.
We used a gift certificate to eat at I.H.O.P., went to our park for a couple of hours, got ice cream at Arctic Circle, went to RC Willey Outlet in Provo and to Walmart and to see Coraline at Movies 8.
Well, in between one event and the movies I had another "accident" so that's why we went to Walmart.
So I needed to find some panties and pants or something and needed to try them on. Sophie had the shopping cart between us with my purse and the diaper bag. I told Tyler to stay with her so I could find what I needed and try the stuff on.
So I turn and walk away at that.
About 20 minutes or so later I find Tyler with NO SOPHIE! He has Lacie, but not little Sophie! So I ask him where she is and gives me this startled blank stare and says, "I thought she was with you".
UH-OH!! He didn't hear me or spaced it off or something!! lol
So I get all frantic and we split up again and start looking for her.
Mind you this was in the Orem Walmart so it's HUGE!
I look here and there quickly then scurry up to the Service Counter and they like know me on the spot. Must have been the crazy look on my face lol.
"Code Adam. The mother's here" is what the lady says on her radio.
Then she gets the reply that they have Sophie with them over at the bakery.
I hurry over there as fast as I dare and see Sophie standing next to an employee with our cart.
She tells me that Sophie was walking around pushing the cart and just randomly picking things off the shelves and putting them in the cart.
Sophie was completely calm and just gave me a look like, "oh hi mom. I finished the shopping for you".
Talk about mixed emotions!!!!!!!!!
I was so upset and frantic over the thought of losing her and yet happy to see that she's totally fine and I'm the one that got traumatized and not her, and then I try not to laugh at the same time for what she had in the cart!!
There was a can of olives, an apple, cookies, two hershey syrup containers (two different types), Twilight the movie, colored pencils, a huge bag of rolls, some pecan pies, a couple jars of sourcrout I believe, some ramen noodles, fishy crackers, sprite, V8 Fusion, bacon, and several other things I can't remember right now.
She didn't pile it with candy or tonz of kids things or junk. Just stuff she likes and stuff she sees mommy and daddy buying. It was sooooooooooo cute and funny!!!
So I got the cart and she walked with me to find daddy. We both laughed as we rummaged through her collection. Smart little girl!!

Okay, also, I have been baby hungry. It's only recenlty hit me just HOW baby hungry. I see or think of a new baby and I get weepy!!!!! lol
At the hospital today for my ultrasound I walk past the lab and a brand new baby is getting his heel pricked for jaundice and is crying his tiny little eyes out and it makes me cry!! I go up to the receptionist where I was to get my ultrasound done at and she's looking at me funny cuz I have huge tears in my eyes! lol I felt like an oaf! haha
Then at Walmart AFTER Sophie's adventure we walked past the babies clothes and both my girls run to the tiny baby outfits and start picking them off the racks and saying, "See the tiny baby clothes? They're so cute!!" and showing me tiny booties and saying things like, "we want you to have a baby mommy! These are for the babies!"
It's driving me INSANE!!!!! lol

So yeah, there ya go. There was our day in a nutshell.

Another One!

So I went to the dentist today. I had two teeth worked on and one of them was really really close to being a root canal but luckily didn't do it. We'll see how it holds for now to decide if I'll need one or not.
They had to numb me up three different times!! My body soaks up anesthesia like a dry sponge. Dead serious! When I had my babies I'd have to have my epidural adjusted and fixed several times.
And in surgery the last time I woke up in the middle of it. I don't remember any pain or hearing anything or feeling anything else, just a nurse behind my head looking down at me with a mask on and a hat that covers the hair. Then she put something over my mouth and that's it.
My gums and jaw hurt and my teeth, too, now. They're giving me a migraine.

So I got a call from an associate of my Neurologist today. He called to tell me Dr Taher ordered a Sleep Study since my oxygen test went really bad. In other words, I failed miserably. Ha ha. No surprise there! When I was AWAKE and looked at the machine my oxygen was 85 and my heart rate 50. So yeah, not super good. It would explain A LOT if I have Sleep Apnea.

So tonight the girls went to Michelle's for the night (great break for us. They kept us up all night last night!!) and we babysat Kristen & Kevin's little kids. I LOVE new babies!! Made me so baby hungry taking care of that little newborn! It feels so natural to care for a tiny baby. Even Tyler loved it. It was cute seeing him with that new baby and cuddling her and taking care of her. She's such a pretty little baby.
Anyway, so since our babies are gone tonight we got to go see a movie! An early Valentine's date thing for us. We went to see "Taken". It was such a super super cool movie!! It got an applause by most everyone in the theater! It was FULL. We had to sit in the very front and the screen was HUGE but it was so worth going! It was go go go through the entire movie. Never boring and very interesting and educational, too. We totally recommend it!!!

Okay, then also I'm going to be starting Clomid. I got my prescription and how it works is taking it on the 5th day of my cycle through the 9th, then doing "the thing" every other day from day 10-20. If we don't get pregnant this month she gave me like 3 refills. Kinda nice. I guess we'll see if this does the trick, eh?

Oh, and Tyler got me Guitar Hero World Tour!!! Just the 1 guitar, but hey, I'm so excited to play it!! Yipee!! I LOVE tax return season!!!

okay, so that's my "another one" update for y'all.

A Little Update

So I went to see my midwife today and it went fairly well. I'm NOT pregnant, (surprise surprise), even though I'm like almost 2 months late now.
They're testing me for polycystic something or other that's an ovarian deal. Just another thing to accompany my endometriosis I guess in keeping me from getting pregnant. I won't be surprised to have it since I have all the signs of it and even have had a cyst rupture in the past and made me bleed all over the place in two places. IT SUCKED!!
She did a couple other blood tests, too, and a couple results will be in tomorrow and the others on Monday. So we'll see how that goes.
Otherwise I get to start Clomid after my next period starts, and if it doesn't start they'll give me Progesterone or something like that to make me have it.
Clomid an a fertility drug and can increase my chances of having multiples. I'm SURE I won't get pregnant with 8 babies, though, like that one lady! haha.
I'm feeling a lot better since being on medication for my migraine's and it's actually helped me with my body aches! It's nice. My thyroid is finally evened out and staying at the same points!
Only deal is I keep gaining weight. I have been doing excersize and watching what I eat (no junk food at all) and I'm still gaining.
Apparently two of the medications I'm on make me gain weight, so there you go. I have TWO things working against me there.
Okay, that's it for now. At least what I can remember! haha
