9 YEARS!!!

Today Robert and I celebrate our 9 year anniversary. I can't believe how time has flown by. It's funny to think that we were only 19 when we were married and now 9 years later we have a great family and still have a great relationship. I love him and love the 4 children we have created together.

sorry pic is blurry, it is a picture of a picture. When we got married digital was up and coming I guess so our pictures are all on film. I guess we are old!!

Weight Loss

So most of you know when I get pregnant I put on a lot of weight. This pregnancy was no different, I ended up putting on 60 lbs. I know that is almost a whole person. Now I am on the weight loss mission. The day I had Ryder is the day I change my eating ways. No more sugar, No more fast food and lots of brown rice, chicken and vegetables. I want to blog about my journey to chronicle it, since it is my last time ballooning up for a baby and to keep the pressure on me.

Starting weight 130 lbs

Final weight 190 lbs

goal weight 125 lbs

3 weeks after baby 164lbs

pre pregnancy

9 months prego aaaaahhhhhh!!!

I want to give an update once a week to track my progress, hope there is some changes soon!!!

We Love Our Brother!!

Ryder is fitting in nicely with our family. The other kids want to hold him all day long. Cade even thinks he can pick him up by himself which makes mommy a little nervous. Ella is a great big sister she is our second mommy. Clayton continues to be a great big brother and helps me with a lot.

Ryder sleeping has changed every night. Sometimes he eats every 3 hours some nights 2 hours and one night it was every hour, that night was a little rough. Coming into a family with 3 kids already he definatley doesn't have a schedule. When he sleeps it's usually time to go get someone from school, thank goodness summer is here and no more school schedule.

We love having him and now feel our family is complete!!!

Baby Finally!!!

Ryder Cohen Boydston

Born 12:36pm 7lbs 19 inches

He is finally here. I had a scheduled c-section today and we got to meet our 4th (and final) baby. He has been doing great so far. The older kids have been amazing, they love him so much. We are very blessed to have him here.

(and yes I am at the hospital blogging, what else is there to do.)

BABY? MAYBE!!

So I have been feeling something going on with my body. (Back pain, cramps, nausea) I need to mention that even though this is my 4th baby I have no idea what contractions feel like since I have had 3 c-sections and I have no idea when I should go into the hospital. So thursday I decided to go in and see what was going on. I guess there was something going on, my contractions were 4 to 6 minutes apart. My doc was not on call so the on call doc told them to give me the meds that make labor stop. (I am pretty sure my doc would have just delivered me.) So I was sent home. Tonight I am starting to feel the same again but I have no idea when to go in. My doc said that he doesn't want me contracting on my previous scar but I don't want to go to the hospital just to hang out for 3 hours and go home, so am I in labor or aren't I. Who knows? For now I am staying home and we will see what happens in the morning.

My Marathon Man

NEWPORT MARATHON

Robert ran in his second marathon, the Newport Beach Marathon. This is one of our favorite places, to bad I am huge so the beach wasn't sounding all that exciting. Robert did a great job finishing 26 miles and we had a fun time without any kids.





Totally out on the drive home.

NKOTB.....

WHAT DOES A MOTHER OF THREE, WHO IS EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT, SWOLLEN ANKLES, TIRED AND CRANKY DO???

Well she goes to the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK concert. OH OH OH OOOOHHHH....

My sister, mom and I got tickets last minute and headed for some flash back fun. Jordan, Donny, Joey, Danny and John was back in prime form, (granted they are all about 40 years old acting like they are 20). We had a lot of fun singing to the oldies and dancing the night away.

The Jabbowockeez opened up for NKTOB, they were awesome!!!
