Kim Yonn

Okay I figured I would let everyone know how everything went with the birth of our sweet Kim Yonn. We went into the hospital around 8am. Was checked right in and started going through the process of getting ready for the surgery. I was feeling nervous about the whole spinal block part ( just because of my prior surgery with Alma, I was yelled at). Anyway my nurses were great! We had a hard time getting an IV to start though. They ended up trying 5 times to get one started. On the 5th time, the 3rd nurse got it her first try. I was very thankful at that time since I started feeling like a pin cushion. So once we had that going things were looking great. I went into the or and was getting my spinal block which went great! They got it the first try!!! Happy Day! I was so giddy when Lim came in because they got it the first try! No worries there. They started cutting and things were going good then I started to feel sick. I found out that they gave me morphine! NOT A GOOD ACTIVITY! I had it with Alma and I couldn't stop throwing up. I guess I am technically not allergic but close enough, to the point that my doctor tells me to say that I am. So that no one will ever give it to me again! (I'll explain more later) So I start to throw up during the surgery (another fear that I had) but it went just fine. The doctors stopped and waited while I was given anti-nausea meds to help. One thing about a spinal block once it is in, it is in your system for 10 to 18 hours! Good times.... We were planning on Lim staying for the whole c-section. Shortly after Kim Yonn (also known as Kimmie)was born they asked Lim if he would like to go with baby to the nursery. We kind of looked at each other and just didn't think much of it at the time. I told him I would be fine and he left with her. I was still sick at this time the anti nausea meds were not working. They ended up putting me to sleep! ( Another fear I had but it wasn't bad at all) I remember hearing the surgeon asking my doctor how things were going and I heard her reply better but not good. That is when they gave me the meds to put me to knock me out. I guess what happened is that I was losing a lot of blood and my uterus was not contracting down! My doctor physically took my uterus out of my body and was trying to contract it down with her own hands! I was still losing blood and trying to save me from having a hysterectomy they start potocin to see if that would get things going as a last chance kind of thing. I am grateful that they did because it worked! Yay!!! I did end up loosing a liter of blood. (We have 9 liters of blood in our bodies) I didn't have a blood transfusion though which was nice. I have heard that they hurt! So my planned normal c-section went to emergency but everyone was calm and did a great job! I kept on being sick after the surgery was done. My doctor told Lim that we would have to have a serious talk when I am more awake and aware. I was so out of it. Besides getting sick my blood pressure dropped alot and then I had the cold sweats, I was completely drenched! Not a good feeling let me tell you! My temp dropped so bad that they had to put a bear hug blanket on me. That is a blanket that is attached to this machine and it blows hot air on you! It goes from your feet all the way up to your neck! You feel very closed in! They did this because my temp wasn't even reading on the thermometer. I finally stopped getting sick! Yay!!! My doctor came by and gave me some broth and jello and ice chips! ( it is great personally knowing your doctor!) Anyway I was so starved and weak from everything that happened earlier that day that I was drinking the broth so quickly that I ended up getting sick again but it didn't hurt because I wasn't dry heaving! Thank goodness!!! After that, that is all she wrote about me being sick! Yay. Anyway Lim and our good friend Max came by and gave me a blessing a little before this, which is why I stopped getting sick and things started to change around for the better! My nurses were worried about me and one of my nurses thought of me all night even when she was off. She came in the next day for her shift, saw me and was so re leaved to see me doing so well. I am so grateful to have my husband hold the priesthood. At around 11pm that night I felt good. I was able to hold a conversation. At four in the morning I was able to get up and walk around! Yay!!! I took a much needed shower and felt like a person again!!! Happy Day!!! My doctor came in the next day and all three of us had a talk. My Mom was out in the waiting room with the boys. She told us how very risky it will be if I become pregnant again because my uterus is stretched so thin they are afraid that my placenta might go through my uterus and attach itself to either my bladder or intestines. Since she is a member she understands the power of prayer. She told us to make this a matter of prayer and fasting. We ask that you keep us in your prayers and in your fasting this coming up fast Sunday. We are so grateful for all of your prayers in our behalf. Life is good : )

Kim Yonn is here!!! : )

I am just going to post a few pictures of our sweet angel. It is getting late and I promise to post more soon. I just couldn't wait to post these pictures!! Kimmie weighed 6lbs 14oz and was 19.5 inches long. By far my smallest baby! We absolutely love her! The boys just adore her and are so happy to have her be apart of our family. Malachi said Mom Heavenly Father gave us such a small sweet baby. I said yes he did. The boys are always wondering where Kimmie is. If they can't see her right away they will ask Mom where is Kim Yonn?! I tell them she is right here either next to me or in a bassinett. They are super cute. Isaac is always washing his hands so he can touch her arm or give her a kiss. Alma is loving on her too. He says Mom she is so sweet!!! She is so gorgeous! Totally cracks me up! I am just loving this time with the boys and her. Lim totally is wrapped around her finger. We all are. hahahaha We are Loving Life!!!! : ) I promise to post a lot more pics soon. : )

Date Changed again!

I received a call from my surgeon's office yesterday morning telling me I am not going to be happy. (not a good thing to hear) Then she went on to tell me that they have pushed my date back once again to Thursday! My Dr. had nothing to do with this decision. I guess my surgeon was going to be gone on Thursday so that is why they were going to do Wednesday but since he is going to be at work on Thursday now they decided to change the date again and make it Thursday. They said that they won't change it on me again but I have heard that before and I am not writing it down on my calendar until I leave that morning to go in and have Kim Yonn!! My poor calendar is all blacked out and looking horrible! I will be doing my labs tomorrow and then Thursday is the big day! I can't wait!!! I am grateful for the extra day. I am able to get last minute things done around the house and able to get last minute items that we needed. My hubby gave me a blessing last night with one of our good friends and that helped me out a lot. I was in such a black mood yesterday after getting off the phone. I don't like feeling that way!!! Of course no one else likes it either. Can't say I blame them. So today I went shopping and tomorrow I will need to get somethings that I forgot like curtains for Kimmie's room and the boys' room. I totally spaced that one. I just thought I would keep everyone updated. I will be going in at eight this time. Which I think is the best time because it isn't too early or too late. The boys will be able to have their normal sleeping routine and be able to wake up and get ready and then Bethany will pick up my boys and take them to school. : ) I know that they will be sooo excited!!! I know I am! hahahahahahahaha Well I better go almost time to pick up Malachi from school.

So Sweet : )

Malachi did the sweetest thing tonight. I had already put the boys down for bed this evening. I had to play their primary song CD because my neighbors two houses down from me was having a party and they were incredibly loud!! To say the least. Anyway the music helped the boys and they went to bed. Malachi who out of the three boys hardly ever wakes up in the middle of the night, woke up tonight. I asked the usual questions such as are you okay, do you feel sick, are you hurting, do you need to go potty? All those lovely questions. He replied no to all of them. Then he climbed onto the arm of the chair next to me, put his arm around me,looked at me and said Mom, are you feeling lonely? It took me by surprise. I was totally not expecting that one tonight. I looked at him and said no buddy I am okay I am talking to Grandma right now. He then put his head on my shoulders and cuddled for a moment and then asked if I would tuck him in again. How sweet is that! Makes me almost cry. They are really in tuned. I needed that tonight. I have been feeling so worn out and just tired and a little down since Kate and Mal left. I have been okay though just at night it can be lonely when my hubby isn't there. I am happy to say that Tuesday he will be home! Also that his SGT came to the house to pick up something and said to me that he didn't want to see my hubby at work until Thursday! So we can have some time together before he starts working again!! What a Great boss for one and two we are just really blessed! I Love my husband and children. I am blessed to have such sweet boys. : ) I just thought I would share that. : )

Crafting it up!!! : )

Make a Smilebox slideshow

So Kate and I have done lots of crafts!! It has been so much fun having her here and doing crafts with her. We did all but one craft! I think that is pretty good esp since I had my fall and was out of commission for a while. That is another post though. So here are some pictures of the crafting we have done. We made bows for our girls to put on their headbands made out of tights. I Love the big flowers on little girls so I made a couple of big ones and will be making smaller ones soon. : )Kate made big and small ones. We were getting tired and silly. We had a Great Time!!!! Next is the bow holders. They look like ballerina dresses!!! I Love them! I saw the idea on Tamara's friends blog and I thought that they were so adorable!!! I couldn't help myself! Last but not least we made fancy wipe holders!! We even made a big one too!! I am thinking about selling some of these crafts. Kate and I like to call ourselves the hotglue gun girls. hahahaha It makes you feel good when you make something awesome for your chillin's!!! : ) Well enjoy the pics. Let me know what you think. : ) Also sorry that it has taken me so long to post.

We have our Date : )

I just went and saw the surgeon today. We have scheduled my c-section for the 15th of September!!! Yeppie!!! I can't wait!!! One day after Collin's how funny is that! For those who don't know Collin is my older brother. He is the only one in our family with a birthday in September but not for long. hehehehe : ) I can't wait!! There is still lots to do and such a little time. It seems like I have for forever but I know it will come up quick!! Also Lim will be home on the 1st!!!! I can't wait!!! Nor can the boys!! They miss their daddy so much!!! He will have lots of work waiting for him when he comes home but then, two weeks later. He will be off of work for a little while to help me with the baby! I am so happy about that!!! The boys also can't wait to see Grandma Bergman!! : ) I can't wait!!! : )

Kimmie's room set

Kate helped me pick this out for Kimmie. I was looking online mostly just because most of the stores with variety are at least an hour away. Plus with my fall it has been hard walking around. Anyway so were looking online and I saw lots of cute baby room decor. I was thinking that I wouldn't find one that I loved because there was something wrong with each of them. Rather it be the price or a bed skirt or something like that. Anyway we went to walmart online and found a 10 piece room set for only $85.00!!!! I was so excited!!! It is pink and brown. So cute too!!! Here is a picture we pulled off of the Internet. I don't know if you will be able to tell but the brown has little polka dots!!! So cute!!! Everything you see in the picture comes with it except the stuff animal and the rug and the cute holder that the stuff animal is in. I am totally happy with it and can't wait to get Kimmie's room set up!!!
