OUR CRAZY MORNING

Okay so I first noticed that Zoey had these blisters around her mouth like a week and a half ago. Well I didn't think anything of it because she was teething and I thought that the fever she had was from the teeth and the fever caused fever blisters.

I went to the doctor this morning because Zoey had developed 3 more blisters on her feet and hands. But the ones around her mouth were completely gone. So the doctor said that she has foot and mouth disease. I almost died I thought that only animals got that and then my next question is where in the HELL did she get it? I guess there has been alot of recent cases so the only place I can figure she got it is WALMART!! And I am so careful when I go there I disinfect the carts and then wipe everything down.

Anyways she has never go the inner mouth legions which they say isn't common. Almost all cases have the horrible inner mouth legions. Which I guess we are just lucky that Zoey didn't develop them. Next they said she should be irritable which she hasn't and she hasn't lost her appetite either. So he isn't 100% sure that foot and mouth disease is what she has. But we are treating it as that. She shouldn't be contagious because she doesn't have the mouth sores or hasn't had the fever for over a week and a half but we are just playing it safe. And I have to apologize to Kandice I went to her modbe party with Zoey and my mom. Which my mom held Zoey the whole time but I still feel horrible and will feel even worse if her kids get it.

But I thought I should give you the update on Zoey as well as warn you about the shopping carts at Walmart. The doctor said he had a 9 month old baby come in with roto virus which is caused from not washing your hands after using the bathroom. They think the baby got the virus from the shopping carts as well. Just a little bit of warning to all my fellow bloggers.

I will keep you updated on Zoey condition right now it looks like the virus has pretty much gone away she just has 3 blisters left so hopefully those will be gone soon.

I'M LOSING IT!!!

Ok so first of all let me explain myself on what I am losing. Ever since I found out I was pregnant my mind has seriously been shot. I have NEVER been a space case as much of you know I am an organizer and like things to run in an orderly fashion. So for my mind to not be working with me its driving me CRAZY.
When I was pregnant with Zoey this happened a little bit but not bad at all. With this pregnancy however I honestly feel like my life is out of control. For me to feel in control everything needs to be organized or orderly. For those of you who know me very well you know about the "Planner" for those of you who don't know about the planner let me explain. I have this planner where I have EVERYTHING written down. Everything includes when my bills are due, doctor appointments, parties that are coming up, and then there are the activities I plan on doing with Zoey. (Yes I plan in advance our activities) Then comes the highlighters everything has its own color. The bills that are due are pink, appointments are blue, parties are orange, and activities are green. Once they have been completed they are checked off. Okay so most of you are wondering how can you lose your mind if your have such a planner. Well let me tell you first comes with writing it down and finding out its written down on the wrong day or just completely forgetting to write it down.

Let me give you an example I had planned on going to my cousin scentsy party which I had the invitation and everything pinned up on my calender board. I remember thinking to myself no need to write this down I wont forget. Well I forgot and i missed the party completely I feel so horrible this does not happen to me!
Next example bills are SO important to me that everything is paid or received before the due date. Our house payment is due the first of every month which no one in their right mind would ever forget to pay their house payment right. Well I forgot luckily we have a 10 day grace period and I remembered on the 5th so it arrived on time but like I said before these things don't happen to me!
I'm sorry everyone I am just kind of ranting but I have to express my problems somewhere and Brigham has heard this so many times he is sick of hearing it.

So I asked my doctor if this is normal he explained to me that when you are pregnant you retain water and therefore you brain actually shrinks because of the water that is being retained everywhere. (weird huh) So I am glad that this isn't just me totally losing it completely. You have to understand that I honestly thought I was going crazy and was ready to check myself into a pshyc ward and I think Brigham was too hehe. But he says this all goes away after you have the baby and if not that's when I'm going to start worrying.
So I am going to apologize in advance I'm sorry if I have an appointment with you and I miss it, if your having a party and I forget it, or if we have a lunch date and I space it.
Please just bare with me a couple more months and hopefully this ditziness will all go away.

What Marlie Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

Our baby boy

24 weeks

I have decided that I am going to take alot more pictures with this pregnancy than with Zoey's. I regret that I never really captured me being pregnant with Zoey. I always thought that I looked to fat. But With this pregnancy I honestly don't care I know the pictures will be appreciated down the road.

This entry is going to be like a journal entry since we haven't had the baby yet it will, This post will be updated hopefully every 2 weeks or as the news comes. So keep checking back... Here we go

Brigham and I had decided that we better start trying for #2 since we weren't sure how long it was going to take for us to get pregnant. To our surprise we are baby making machines haha.

I wasn't sure if I was pregnant or not so I took a test and to my surprise WE WERE. I didn't believe the test so I made an appointment with Dr. Breitenbach to take a pregnancy test there. So the day came for me to go to the doctor. Brigham also had a checkup with Dr. B so we went in together. I went and took the test and Dr. B sent Brigham to go get blood work done. Dr. B soon comes in the room and says "Well your not pregnant" I said good because I didn't expect us to get pregnant this fast I wanted Zoey and the baby to be 2 years apart at the least. So needless to say I was happy. Well Dr. B went on to say" Umm you weren't suppose to be that happy I was just kidding you ARE pregnant" I must have had this dumb founded look on my face. He felt so bad, for pulling such a cruel joke on me. But needless to say we were both happy that we were pregnant again. It was just going to be a bit harder than we had planned.

My pregnancy so far has been a breeze I had such bad morning sickness with Zoey that it honestly felt like all day sickness. With this pregnancy I have not even been sick one bit. The only thing is that I have gotten REALLY bad headaches with this pregnancy. Dr. B thinks its just the hormones but who knows. On March 18 th we found out that we were going to have a little boy. I can't even start to describe how happy Brigham is to finally get his little boy. He is so funny he loves to go to the store and look in the baby isle for clothes and look on line. He did this with Zoey to I think its so cute.

Anyways when they did the ultrasound they moved my due date up to August 4th. So the baby will hopefully be here by the end of July.

We have come up with a few names but one we are stuck on is Treyton William Zelaya. We just love the name Treyton and then my grandpa's name was William so we are pretty sure that will be his middle name.

Well that's about it like I said keep checking back for updates on the pregnancy..

Our little Zoey

I have decided that I am going to go into detail about my pregnancy and delivery of Zoey.

It was the first week of April and I was at my sister in law Evelyn's house just hanging out talking. When I realized I hadn't had my visit from aunt Flow in awhile and it just happened that Evelyn had a pregnancy test. So I took the pregnancy test and it came out positive. I was so shocked we had kinda been planning it but I didn't think it would happen this fast.

We were living in Green River Wyoming at the time for Brigham's job for BHI. I hated living so far away from our family. And to make it worse our insurance hardly covered any doctors in the basin. They only covered 3 and the only one I knew was Dr. Evans so we chose him as our OB doctor. We traveled down to Vernal every month for the doctors visits until it came time that we decided it would be best for our family if Brigham got transferred back to Vernal.

It was the end of June 2006 when we finally moved back to Vernal. And it seemed that the pregnancy was taking forever and I had been SO sick. I was nauseous all the time and nothing seemed to help at all. I had to go to the ER a couple of times to get IV's to help build my strength up. And I also would get so dehydrated that I went into false labor 2 times it just seemed that I couldn't drink enough water.

We decided to go on a Wilhelm family trip when I was 7 months pregnant to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. We got to see all the sites as well as went hiking at Jenny Lake. The guides told us the hike would be about a mile hike up to the waterfalls which I thought would be no problem. Well It ended up being a 3 mile hike on a rugged trail. And needless to say I was in flip flops hahah. So when the hike was finally finished my legs were the size of elephant ankles. It was a horrible feeling but I felt pretty good about myself that I didn't give up and actually made it through the whole hike.

Well finally December was here and it was almost time to have the baby we were getting so excited to finally meet her. Dr. Evans and I decided from the baby's weight that it would be best for us both if he induced me. On December 4th at 8 am we arrived at the Roosevelt hospital to get induced. Dr. Evans finally induced me around 8:30 am and Brigham and I got to walk the hospital all day long until the contractions got alot worse. My water finally broke at 6:20 pm and from then on I had the epidural. I was on the epidural pump and I made sure that I watched it close so it wouldn't get down to far. Well about 6 am on Tuesday my pump was low so I told the nurse to tell the anesthesiologist that I needed a refill before he went into surgery. I guess she forgot my pump ran out and I started to hyperventilate and they lost Zoey's heartbeat. Well they had to put me on oxygen and finally found Zoey's heartbeat and got the pump refilled. I was fine for awhile until it ran out again and the same thing happened again. It was about noon when Dr. Evans came in to check on me and I told him I was to exhausted and wanted a c-section well he thought it would just be a bit longer so we waited. Well 3:30 pm on Tuesday rolled around and I was finished. Brigham called the nurse in and she checked me and I started to regress from a 9 1/2 back to a 8. So Brigham told the nurse to get Dr. Evans over here now or he was loading me up and taking me to Vernal. (leave it to Brigham haha) Well Dr Evans showed up and they got me all prepped for surgery. We got into the room and I had the shakes so bad they had to tie my arms down. Well after 32 hours of labor at 4:12 pm on Tuesday December 5, 2006 we finally got our baby girl Zoey Noelle Zelaya, she weighed 8lbs and 4 oz. Dr. Evans said we made a great decision to have a c-section that Zoey was stuck pretty bad in the birth canal and he probably would have had to break her collar bone to get her out. She was so beautiful when they showed her to me her little tongue was sticking out and she didn't even cry at all she just looked around.

We stayed in the hospital till Friday morning and they finally let us go home. We were so excited to finally get home and relax a bit. We had such a blast with Zoey, she was such a good baby and was sleeping through the night at 2 months old. She sure loved her sleep as well as eating haha. She got pretty sick when she was 3 months old with RSV,luckily they caught it just as it was starting and she only really had it for 4 days. She had to have nebulizer treatments every 4 hours but she was so good with them she thought it was pretty funny having some crazy thing on her face.

We moved in with my parents when she was 5 months old. We were in the process on finding a home to buy. It was so much fun living with my parents and watching them with Zoey. She had them both wrapped around her little finger.

Zoey now is 16 months and is into EVERYTHING she loves to run and play. Her favorite thing is to be outside with dad and work on the yard. She helped so much getting our lawn fertilized and putting up the fence. She definitely is a daddy's girl, it so funny to watch her want something and me tell her no, she then will go to her dad and knows that he will say yes. She is our little angel and makes our lives SO lively. I have such a blast staying at home with her and enjoying our time together. It seems like time is flying and I know she wont be young forever so I am just trying to take in every moment as possible.

How it came to be

Well I have decided that I am going to be faithful in writing in our blog. So I wanted to start out with how Brigham and I ended up together.

So I had just moved home from Pennsylvania where I was a nanny the rumors going around town was I moved home because I got into trouble. Well the real reason being that I loved the kids so much as well as the mom but the dad (Kenneth) worked from home and was always in our space when I was too be working. To top it all off Ashley (the mom) had her brother move in with us. To say the least he was a little odd. He was always asking me to go to the local bars with him or to go to dinner. Well one day I had come home from my friends house and I caught him in my room rummaging through my things. I was so ticked that I told the family right there that I was through and I was heading back to Utah.
so
It was December 2004 when I returned back home, my grandpa wasn't doing very well. So I decided that I was going to get a job and stay in Vernal for awhile. I got a job at Diva Salon as a receptionist and I loved it. Well things got worse with my grandpa and he eventually passed away on March 17 2005 This was such a hard time for our family. We knew that he was in a better place but it just hurt saying goodbye.
A couple days after my grandpa's funeral my friend Ramey Piva called and wanted me to come and hang out with her at her new boyfriends house, which was Trevor Hoopes. And I have known Trevor since I was little we used to be in the same ward when we were kids. So I figured why not I had nothing really else to do. So I headed over to Trevor's house, they were hanging out downstairs playing video games. So I got introduced to everyone Brigham Zelaya, and Steven Lamb were Trevor's roommates. We all just hung around for awhile and then I decided that I better be going home. Well the next day Ramey called me when I was at work and said " Brigham thinks your cute and wants to hang out with you more." All I could do was laugh I felt like I was back in grade school again. Well needless to say I started going over to their house every night. We all had such a blast together.
Brigham knew that I had planned on going to St. George for college and really didn't want anything too serious. Well I got attached and it ended up being serious. So it was time for me to head down to St. George. It was so hard leaving because I really didn't know what was going to happen between Brigham and I, all I knew was I liked him alot.
I got to St. George and met all my roommates and they were all the Dixie cheerleaders, we all had such a blast together. And then across the hall were some of the football players which made for fun nights together. I got a job at Dillard's in the mall where I sold purses and jewelry. It wasn't the best job I have ever had but it paid the bills. Well about a month after I had been in St. George I found out I was pregnant. I was so scared I didn't know what I was going to do. I told Brigham and he seemed so assured that things were going to work out. I asked him how he was so sure all he could say is I just know. Well I told my parents over the phone and somehow they tracked Brigham's number down. So Brigham went over to my parents house and told them himself that I was pregnant and that he loved me and was going to take care of both me and the baby.
So I moved home from St. George and Brigham and I had decided that we were going to get married on October 1, 2005. We had everything planned so beautifully, my mom was so amazing I just told her what I wanted and she would take over and did everything. She did all the flowers for the wedding herself. It was going to be the most amazing day. Then on August 12th I had a miscarriage. It was the most horrific thing that has ever happened to me. I didn't know what we were going to do, we had a wedding in less than 3 weeks. Brigham and I decided that we still wanted to get married so the wedding went on. It was the most beautiful day it was 80 degrees and for October that is just unbelievable. The wedding went so well not even a flaw besides that I forgot my flowers to walk down the isle with. But that didn't even matter to me. As I walked down the isle the only thing I saw was this amazing man waiting for me at the end of the isle. He was sobbing, later on I asked him why he was crying so hard he said" As soon as I saw you I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
Well a year later on October 13 2006 we were sealed for time and eternity in the Vernal Utah Temple. It was the most amazing feeling knowing that I was going to be with Brigham forever.
I think things happen for a reason I am not sure that Brigham and I would have ended up being married if I hadn't have gotten pregnant but all I can say is that I wouldn't change a thing. I love my life and I love Brigham so much that i wouldn't even want to change one thing about how it all came to be.

Easter

We had such a great Easter this year it was so much fun to watch Zoey at the egg hunt. She would get so excited and take her sweet time picking up all the little tootsie rolls that no one else wanted. Easter morning she was so excited when she walked out of her room and saw eggs all over the house as well as her Easter basket.

Our Home

Lately it seems that we have been running with our heads chopped off. We have had some problems with our home that we bought in November. The home has old plumbing that we didn't know was leaking so when we went to do some improvements on our home last Friday we found a hole of water in the ground. It ended up that our house has old cast iron pipes so Brigham replaced it with PVC. We are so blessed that Brigham knew how to fix the problem.
