Text of the page (random words):
ann was born at 4lbs 4ozs and 18 inches long they held her up for me to see her for just a split second before they handed her through the window to the nicu i looked in her eyes and i could see she too was going to be a fighter just like her sister i felt so much peace after they were born i could hear them crying the nurses were making comments that they didn t even need oxygen and were breathing room air this was a shock to all and a testament that they were going to be fine a few hours later i got to see them for about 10 minutes on my way to the recovery room i could only touch their hands they were so incredibly tiny i looked at them and couldn t believe they were here it sort of seemed like a dream but they were healthy and they were going to be ok we had a long road ahead while they had to stay in the nicu but my prayers were being answered looking back i can see the hands of the lord in so many events that led up the their birth and after it just adds to the proof that they have a purpose on this earth part of the purpose is their story the story of how i got pregnant they story of being born 8 weeks early the story of being 4lb preemies the story of being in the nicu who knows what is next but i feel so blessed to have them here healthy and happy they are pretty sweet little girls i will continue to document their story with more posts these pictures were taken a few days after they were born i will post pictures from the first time i got to see them these were just ones that i had here right now maysen she s almost always in purple maddilyn she s almost always in pink posted by shannon at 11 59 pm 5 comments wednesday january 02 2013 2012 i didn t post very much in 2012 i wish i would have been better at blogging because boy it was a great year just for fun here is a list of some of the highlights of the year hayden turned 9 tyson turned 5 brooklyn turned 8 and was baptized the hubby got his dream job working out on the road as a police officer tyson graduated preschool we took an amazing trip to texas to see family and loved every minute of it we made sure to go on an outing every week during the summer seven peaks water park season passes were the favorite found out we were adding twins to our family hubby got his assignment and his cool cop car that the kids think is super cool so does the hubby actually kids started school including tyson starting kindergarten had a great holiday season starting from halloween clear to new year i am missing so much but that is what i get for not keeping up on the journal all year we really were blessed this year it seems as though we are finally on the upswing from the past 4 years i was reading over some past posts and it reminded me of how hard things seemed we really were going through so much 2012 was the year to look back and say now i get why that happened i feel so blessed for how things have worked out 2013 is going to be interesting but will be one that we will never forget i don t really have many expectations for this year but here are a few things that i hope for to survive 7 more weeks of pregnancy to survive having two newborns to be able to live in every moment without feeling too overwhelmed this is something that i really regret every time i ve had a newborn to be a better mom by being more patient gentle and understanding to be a better wife by offering support love and encouragement to prepare for owning our own home again to have a super fun summer like we did last year we really did have so much fun to be more aware of where i am needed so i can make sure i don t miss a moment of service to better myself spiritually ok so maybe i have more expectations than i thought well ok maybe i need to just live in the moment and take each day one at a time posted by shannon at 11 12 pm no comments friday december 28 2012 it s been too long baby girl a at 28 weeks baby girl b at 28 weeks surprise yes you read that right no this is not two pictures of the same baby we are having twins they are due on march 14 2013 i am 29 weeks they will actually be making their arrival in about 8 weeks or so shocked yea so am i remember this post from a while back about my iud being misplaced well little did i know that that was the start of these little girls journey to this family there story is nothing short of a miracle not quite like most miracles let me explain soon after i found out that my iud was misplaced i had a procedure to have it removed from my fallopian tube it was lodged inside and also had attached to the uterine wall the doctor was able to remove it but i was advised to not have another iud placed for fear that it could happen again so i opted for another procedure that was permanent we were sure that our family was complete it didn t seem like anyone was missing and to be honest we really have a lot on our plate and didn t think that we could handle it financially emotionally or physically i had the essure procedure done it s where they take a plug and block the inside of the fallopian tubes scar tissue then builds up and permanently blocks the tubes this procedure has more than a 99 success rate in order to see if it was a success they have you go in for xrays with dye to make sure they are fully blocked well to make a long story short i had the procedure done but when the doctor was trying to insert the plug on the side where my iud was he found the tube was too damaged and full of scar tissue he was unable to insert the plug but was certain that it was fully blocked anyway i went in for the xray a few months later and found that the procedure was a success on the one side and that both tubes were fully blocked i was officially sterile as personal as all that information is it is important in understanding how it really is a miracle that i got pregnant in july i found out i was pregnant i was shocked to say the least i honestly didn t see it coming when i called the doctor s office to talk to the nurse about it she was sure it was a false positive they had me come in for blood work just to make sure it couldn t have been more positive a few days later i was in having an ultrasound to make sure that all was ok with the baby and that everything was ok with what they had done as far as the procedure goes all was well with both they saw the baby just 1 and a heart beat i found out that i was about 5 weeks along a few days later i got a phone call from my doctor that they wanted me to come in and have another ultrasound done to get a better image of a good strong heartbeat i went in still shocked that i was pregnant while laying there during the ultrasound i was looking at the screen looking for a good heartbeat i pointed it out oh look there s the heart looks pretty good right all the tech could say was uh hu i asked her if everything was ok since she didn t respond much she then said do you see two heart beats like i see two heart beats looks like you re having twins if i could have fallen over i would have i started to cry i was so shocked it was so hard for me to wrap my brain around the fact that i was pregnant now i was having twins it all seemed like a dream and i had to still tell my hubby the shock hasn t worn off it still seems like a dream even when i look at my huge belly even when they don t stop moving at times it has been a little hard i hate admitting that especially since one day they might read this i don t want them to ever feel like they weren t wanted but changing my mindset from being done with having kids and getting rid of all our baby stuff to surprise your having twins has really been hard i have had some pretty incredible moments with it all though i asked my hubby for a priesthood blessing to get some comfort i was blessed that my testimony would grow from all this at the time i couldn t see how but let me tell you it has i feel so lucky to be bringing these girls into the world i have no doubt that through all the circumstances they are coming to this earth in this family at this time to do amazing things not many people get tangible proof that there is a god i get that because there really is no other explanation for all this it s the lord s plan plain and simple i except it and i don t think i would have it any other way these girls are a huge blessing so there you have it the beginning of their story to answer some questions that i get all the time hayden will be 10 years older than the twins brooklyn almost 9 and tyson almost 6 big difference but they will be good helpers i am slowly getting things for them i really didn t have anything but it s kind of fun to get them stuff they are doing great so far and so am i well ok i m really uncomfortable it s been hard but nothing crazy has happened and that is good they weigh about 2lbs 10oz each right now the doctor doesn t want me going past 37 weeks which means they will be here on our around feb 21st they are pretty sure they are identical they can t say 100 until after they are born but they share a placenta and are both girls and have a very thin membrane separating them they are in their own amniotic sacks these are all indications that they are identical so we are kind of counting on that and just for fun here i am at 28 weeks posted by shannon at 7 45 pm 3 comments tuesday june 19 2012 officer in training my little man is sooo obsessed with anything law enforcement especially police officers he wears this uniform every single day he couldn t wait for officer broadhead to come over last night for a bbq so he could show it off officer broadhead was a good sport and took him out to his car and let him turn on the lights and the siren he was so excited he hasn t stopped talking about it all day just a few more weeks and he can do this with daddy s car posted by shannon at 2 46 pm 1 comment friday may 04 2012 help i can really use your help i need to print pictures today for the princess baptism invitation and i can t decide which one to print comment which one you think would be best 1 2 3 posted by shannon at 11 28 am 9 comments thursday may 03 2012 patience you know that saying when you pray for patience you will be given opportunities to have patience well i have had many opportunities in life where i am forced to learn patience but nothing like waiting for my hubby to get hired on at a police department so here s the deal my hubby made this goal 2 years ago to become a police officer at the time it sorta seemed to have come out of no where but he had the opportunity in life to pick what direction to do and this is the one he choose because it was something he always wanted to do he sponsored himself through the academy finished his degree in law enforcement and was the intern for the academy all while he was testing at different departments i lost count a long time ago with how many times he has tested the process in case you don t know goes like this the department posts that they are hiring you fill out a huge application and deliver to the department the department will invite you to come do a physical fitness test and sometimes they throw in a report writing scenario you show up and work your tail off then you wait to hear if you have been invited back for an interview if you are lucky to have an interview they will then rank you on how well you did and how many preference points you get for things like being in the military being leo certified having a collage degree etc then they will rank you on a list and are given a number that number will determine what happens next for example if they are hiring 5 people they will usually take the top 10 people to do background checks on which can take forever trevor has been through this stage 5 times if you make it through the background check and are one of the top ones on the list still after people get eliminated from bad background checks they will then send you to do a polygraph test then they will have you interview once more with the chief or with a background board or both then if you get through all that they will give you a job it may be 5 months later by this point so maybe you can see why i have been thrown into learning patience it took forever to get hired on the jail one department he tested for a year ago just completed his background it had been so long they made him test again for the job he loves working for the jail and it has been so good for him it has taught him so much we can see why he needed to start out his career there but he wants to be out on the road with all that said bored yet here is a little update with where he stands right now still working at the jail but there are 3 yes 3 departments doing background checks on him this process is so stressful it seems so close but just not there yet you know i m trying not to get excited but how can you not when it is that close i came home from a field trip today to find out that one of the departments had been here in the circle talking to all of my neighbors about my hubby this makes me even more excited they have done this before but this department feels different i even know a timeline of when they want to do things yet i still find myself being impatient i just want it for him so badly i m thinking that maybe this is my final test in being patient then hopefully by the end of next month he will have 3 departments knocking on his door to hire him wherever he ends up they will be lucky to have such an amazing man working for them he was born to do this i just can t wait for him to actually do it posted by shannon at 10 11 pm 1 comment wednesday may 02 2012 it has been so long when i first started this blog seems like it was forever ago i never thought i would be able to keep up on it i didn t think that i had anything interesting to say then as i went through my days i realized that i actually did have lots to say i unloaded on here for years almost everything that was going on in our lives was documented on here then life got pretty intense some things were posted on here and other things were just better left unsaid as time went on i just stopped posting i really just felt pathetic that i didn t have anything to say that was worth saying looking back i really wish i would have documented more in the midst of all the bad there was a lot of good and now i feel like i am forgetting all that so today i wish to start again to post more often so i can later in life remember the things that are keeping us busy remember the times of trials and now that things are getting much much better remember the great times so here is my update as of today my hubby has spent the last 2 years working hard at following his dream of becoming a police officer i am so incredibly proud of him for all that he has accomplished he is an officer at the local jail and loves loves loves it it is evident to us now that this is what he was meant to be many things in his life have lead up to him being an officer and it s so fun to be able to connect those dots now he is a differe...
