I'm a slacker

I just noticed that I have not posted since I was pregnant with Addy!! Here is an update in the liddiard house. Addysen is already almost a year and a half old. She has such a great BIG attitude. Her favorite words as of now are uh-oh and uh-uh she also says momma, dada, brother, doggie she trys to say other things but for the most part she just babbles or points and screams to what she wants (because she knows her brothers will give her anything she wants) Her little run is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen. I think my favorite thing in the  world right now is that at bed time I use to rock her and sing to her but these days when I rock her she sings to me now. It is these moments that I will always remember plus I am the only one aloud to rock her :) She is a growing girl and eats and eats all day long. I just stopped nursing a few weeks ago so we offically made it 17 months!! Some days I miss being able to feed and bond with her. The first week we stopped she wanted nothing to do with me and only wanted her dad. It just about killed me, but she is back to being a mommas girl. Although her and her daddy have an unbelievable, unbreakable bond. She is acting interested in the potty but freaks out when you actually put her on it...we will be working on that because we are ready for no diapers. This little girl has brought our family so much closer together which I did not think possible and she stole all our hearts. Right now her and Jaxon are super close and she loves on him like crazy which makes jayden play with her even more because she wants  that and wants her kisses and loves.

Jayden- He will be turning 7 in a few months and has been growing into the most polite, helpful, smart little man. I was just told today by one of his teachers that if she could clone him she would. This boy is my sanity some days. I could not imagine my life without him in it. He will be starting 2nd grade in august this year...am I old enough to have a 2nd grader??? He is so amazing in school and his dad and I are super proud of him. He is always earning little awards her and there for being so willing to help around the school when it comes to pretty much anything. He hard a rough start this year with his reading and was getting pretty frustrated but once this kid figured it out he has flown up 3 reading levels in about a month period. He is my emotional child he always takes everything to his heart and is the oldest so he is super bossy which when these to things mix it makes a hard day for him. He is a very passionate little boy when he does something he does it to the fullest. He is a math wiz if you put some math homework in front of him he will have it done in 2 min tops. Right now he is loving riding his bike and doing tricks and jumping it. He is also really into anything sports and hanging out with his friends int he neighborhood.

Jaxon- He just turned the BIG 5 a few weeks ago and I cannot believe it!!! wasn't he just 8 months old and I was feeding him baby food?? He will be graduating pre-school in a few weeks and he has loved going to school. He even asks to go on his days off. He has a new found attitude which is very sassy these days. He is the funniest little kid and the things he says just kills me some days. He is a ball of energy and my little dare devil. He is at the age were he is pushing limits just to see where they are. He currently likes to pick fights with his older brother. He also thinks he is right about everything and will agrue till the end on why he is lol. His favorite thing right now is fishing aka playing with worms...he is such a boy! ewww! This little man is pretty much always happy no matter what is going on. He isn't a lover like his brother or sister when it comes to hugs and loves you will find him out the door before he gives you any except for when its me or dad :) He also like riding his bike and jumping curbs....I see broken bones and stitches in my near future.

Me- I started a new job this year and a diet aid at the veterens home and after a few months there I was promoted to a prep cook. This is the first time I can actually say that I love my job!! The people are awesome and I love the veterens. It feels like Jamisen and I are gradually climbing this ladder in life and it is so crazy to look back and see that we literally started out with nothing in ours lives. Between work and kids we don't really have any time to ourselves but we def wouldn't have it any other way!

20 weeks!!

We had our 20 week ultrasound the other day and I cannot even explain how happy it makes me to hear and see my sweet little baby.  As a few of you may know we had been trying to find out the gender of this baby since I was 16 weeks and let me tell you this child of ours is really stubborn. The 1st time we went in we were able to see everything except the gender. The 2nd time we had a chance there was a hand in the way and the umbilical cord. The third time we got a pretty good shot and was told that this baby is a GIRL!! We had the boys with us and they were pretty excited although jayden has been telling me we are having a girl since before I was even pregnant. The tech told us that she was pretty positive that we were having a little girl but because of the position of the umbilical cord she couldn't be 100%.
   Well This week we had the 20 week ultrasound with our doctor and I thought for sure that this would take all the doubts away......but this baby has a different way of seeing things and things and the umbilical cord was between the legs yet again. I have a feeling that is where it will stay the rest of this pregnancy. Dr. Rogers did say that he was 70% sure that this is a little girl and that he saw female parts and no male  you just can't be 100% with the way the umbilical cord is.
   She also got measured and everything is looking great with no problems so far. She is measuring about 5 days smaller than we thought, so Dr. Rogers moved my due date to December 6, 2013. Because she is measuring small we may have a few more ultrasounds just to make sure she keeps up with growth. Which is fine by me I love to see her and that makes it so we can confirm gender for a 3rd time :) Jamisen says he knows for a fact that she is a little girl just because of all the headache time and money she has already put him through lol.
   The most amazing thing that has happened this month (besides having to wear maternity cloths gag) was that about 18 weeks I felt the little one moving around. It was the weirdest yet most exciting feeling ever. Kind of felt like someone is trying to pop some popcorn in your stomach (I know weird comparison) Then last night I fell asleep watching tv with the husband and when I woke up to go to be he was so excited and told me "I think I felt her kicking around in there and I wanted to feel her again but your were asleep and I didn't want to push on you and wake you up." This really is the best man and dad ever! He will sit and talk to her although it is about the bears and we all know she is a broncos fan ;) I just really love this man and I see how good he is with our boys and I just can't wait to see how he is with his little princess.(Although I am a little scared that all she will have to do is smile at him and she will get whatever she wants. :)

YAY!! WE ARE HALFWAY DONE!!!

FINALLY!!

This is a little late to post but here we go......... I feel like I have been waiting for this day forever but we are happy to FINALLY be telling the world we are PREGNANT!!! Baby Liddiard is due December 2, 2013. and we cannot be more excited.

I am already 14 weeks and time has flown by. This has been a really tough pregnancy so far. I have been super sick pretty much 24/7 which has made it difficult to work. To all you ladies out there that have had more than one baby you guys are my hero's and I don't know how you did it. To those of you that I read post saying how you miss being pregnant and your bellies at this moment I do not understand this!! Pregnancy is the hardest thing I have ever done but I know it will be worth it in the end.

Another doctors apt

I just recently went and saw my doctor again and since I have been taking the clomid for 4 months straight now, he decided it was time to take a break and try something new. He put me on an antidiabetic medication. Which seemed really strange to me since I am not a diabetic, but he insured me that sometimes this is all some women need to take to balance everything out. This one I have to take on a daily basis which I am horrible at remembering to take pills everyday and the side effects are worse then the clomid. The doctor did say they should subside once my body gets use to it although. Keep us in your prayers and I am still crossing my fingers that we can expand our family in the next few months. :)

Round 6

I had a follow up appointment with my doctor this month and he seems very confident that I will be able to get pregnant. I just wish his confidence would rub off on me a little more. I did not ovulate yet again this last month. This month the doctor has upped the clomid once again and now I will be doing 150mg. He also told me that he doesn't really like to go over 150mg (Which also made my confidence lower a bit more since that is what I am at and nothing has happened) he said in some cases he will go up to 200mg but you have a much higher risk of side effects the higher the mg you get up. During this follow up appointment he said that even if the clomid doesn't work we still have some other options we could try. The only one I can really remember him talking about is drilling holes in my ovaries. Has anyone heard of this because to me this is quite scary to hear. I know he said quite a few other ones before this but once someone tells you they can drill holes in your body every other word you heard kind of just gets forgotten. I also have very irregular cycles and because I haven't started a new cycle on my own I have to take a medication called progesterone to start the process. I also had to do this the month before and let me tell you this, the side effects of this one are the worst and I cringe at night when I have to take it. Luckily this month the doctor prescribe a 7 day dose instead of a 10 day like last month. I wanted to hug him when he told me I get to take it three less days. Please keep our family in your prayers and hope for ovulation! Hopefully we can bring a little miracle into this world sometime soon.

Merry Christmas!

This post is a little late but I hope that you all had as good as a Christmas as we did. The kids had a blast this year and got spoiled rotten.  Between bikes, scooters, skate boards, air hockey table and a trampoline I have no where to put all the stuff. Although the boys had all of this and more they still decided that they wanted to play with my new nook. How is it that kids these days know exactly how to work all the electronics even before I do? It makes me feel so old that my almost 3 year old and my 4 year old can figure this stuff out before I can. We did get a new computer from my very awesome father-in-law so I can now share a few of our pictures with you.
    A few weeks before Christmas and before all of us got sick we took the boys to Tuacahn for there Christmas in the canyon like we do every year. This year we showed up a little late so we didn't get to see the show but the boys sure did have fun anyways. Jayden got to ride a camel with his cousin. We got to see Santa and all of the lights and also went on a family carriage ride. The boys love doing this and we hope to make it a tradition every year that they look forward to. here are a few pictures.

Round 5

December I officially finished round 5 of my 100mg of clomid and we have been patiently testing and waiting to see if I will ovulate. We are now in the 1st week of January and I still have yet to see those 2 dark blue lines on a stick. Why can't ovulation tests be as simple as preg tests, one line means not preg and 2 means yes? If you have never used an ovulation test then let me explain the difference. On these tests there are always 2 lines, one dark line and a lighter line means that you are not ovulating and 2 dark lines mean you are. Well let me tell you the lines are so small that it is hard to see the difference (this may be because I have yet to see 2 dark lines though) I finally got sick of trying to play the guessing game and bought the digital tests now where if you are ovulating it shows a smiley face and if not it is just a circle, but these tests cost you more money which sucks. Sorry that was a little off the subject but I just don't know why they can't make them a little more "user friendly" or digital ones cheaper. Anyways back to it...being as I am almost all the way thru this cycle I do not think I will ovulate this month either, but I will keep my fingers crossed and keep testing. I have a doctors apt the middle of this month and I am hoping we can figure ANYTHING out that may be causing me not to ovulate or why the clomid isn't doing the job. Are there any ladies out there in the blogging world that has gone through this same stuff? I would love to hear from you if you have.
