I jinxed myself with the title of my last post!

Ya, totally jinxed myself. Pregnant again, surprise! We are 5 1/2 months along and getting a little nervous for his arrival. The first few months were pretty easy. I am lucky that I don't get very sick with my pregnancies. Once I started to pop my back pain kicked in worse than ever. I am sure it has to do with the fact that I have two toddlers to take care of too. Other than back pain I really can't complain.

I am totally going to have my hands full with 3 boys! I get very nervous when I think about it. Since this pregnancy was a total surprise with a .5 percent chance of getting pregnant on an IUD, I can't help but know that Heavenly Father knew that right now was the right timing. I wasn't even thinking of number three for at least a few years, but he knows me best and knows that I can do it even when I feel like I can't. There are many days where I question myself, can I really do this? Will I be able to meet the needs of all three of my boys? Will I be able to be a good mom even though I am exhausted? Will I be able to breastfeed with out feeling like I am ignoring my other two boys? Will I have anything to give my husband when he gets home after giving everything I had all day to the boys? The answer, I am not sure. It will be hard but I know with Heavenly Father's help anything is possible. I also have an amazing husband who is an awesome father and he always comforts me and assures me that I can do this and tells me that I am an amazing mother.

Though it was scary in the beginning we are very excited for another adorable boy. My son's are so amazing and I am the luckiest person to be their mother. Zach is so excited to have another little brother and constantly talks about him and how he's in my tummy. I know I am biased because they are my children but I think I have the cutest kids on the planet. I can't help but smile at them all day. I am so blessed to be a stay at home mom and watch my kids grow up.

9 months, that's a pregnancy!

Has it really been 9 Months since my last post? I guess having two kids now really kept me busy!
In July Zach turned 2 and in less than a week he will be 2 1/2! He is growing so fast! He is a full blown talker now! He knows so many words and each week his vocabulary expands. He is just the best little boy I could ask for. Right now he insists on doing everything himself. It can be annoying sometimes,especially if I know he won't be able to do it. I then decided to look at the situation in a different way. I am actually really happy that he wants to give everything a try and he isn't afraid of failing. He is becoming so independent but honestly I want to do things for him because he's my baby and as great as is is to see him grow It shows me that he won't be little forever. Some of his favorite things to do right now are building forts, doing puzzles, building castles with legos and blocks, playing angry birds, making Owen laugh, riding his power wheel, and there's much more. He is just an amazing happy kid and I love being his mom.
Owen is now 91/2 months old. Seriously, I can't believe that he will be 1 in just a few months. He is much smaller than Zach was at this age. He is15 pounds and Zach was probably 21. Owen was sick for this past month and lost some weight. He has C-Diff and a UTI and is on medication till Sunday. He is relatively happy and is doing much better at keeping his food down and eating larger amounts. He is such a happy baby and he is laughing constantly. It is one of the best sounds in the world to me. He has gotten really good at army crawling but has yet to crawl. He knows the crawling position but he just rocks and then falls to him tummy. Right now he really enjoys playing with his brother, army crawling everywhere, playing with toys, putting everything in his mouth, snuggling, baths, laughing, crawling under and behind furniture(especially our bed), and much more. I am blessed to have him as my son.
Tim and I are less exciting, our boys bring us great joy. Tim is busy with work and he is enjoying basketball season. The boys are keeping me very busy but I am loving that all the winter shows on tv are back. It has been really cold so it's hard to take the boys out to play. We are ready for spring!

Introducing: Owen Thomas Sederberg...His Birth Story

Owen is here, and we are so in love! He was born March 29th at 6:26 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 8oz, 19.5 inches long. He has tons of hair as you can see and he is just the sweetest little spirit.

My due date was April 6th and I was hoping to do a VBAC but as my pregnancy progressed my doctors felt it was best to do a repeat c-section. So we scheduled it for Monday April 2nd. Little did I know he wanted to come even earlier than that.

The 29th was just like any other day, we slept in, ate breakfast, and then Zach and I showered around 12. I sat around in my towel for a while because I like to be completely dry before I get dressed. I sat on the couch for a while and then stood up. It felt very wet down there and I thought it was strange, so I cleaned myself dry and went back and sat down. I got up and again it felt wet, this happened about five more times. I got dressed and skyped my sister and told her I thought that my water was leaking. She told me to call the doctor so I did and they told me to go to the hospital to get checked. I really didn't want to and I asked if I could just come into the office and get checked but they said no and that I really just needed to go to the hospital.

I then called Tim and told him the situation, he hurried home. I also called my sister and asked her to come get Zach. I was not ready. The house was a mess, I didn't have a bag packed, and I wasn't ready to leave Zach. The next day we were planning a fun day trip with Zach to Salt Lake. I was sad knowing that wasn't going to happen. When my sister got Zach in the car his bottom lip started to quiver. I couldn't hold back my tears, I wasn't ready to say good bye to my baby and I wasn't ready to go have my new baby.

We got checked in around 3 pm, and I got dressed into my gown and sat on the bed. All I could think about was Zach and how bad I felt about leaving him so suddenly. I was really looking forward to our day together. The nurse then came in and tested me to see if I was leaking amniotic fluid. She also hooked me up to the monitor to watch Owen's heart beat and my contractions. My contractions got more painful and closer together. She then told me that I hadn't ruptured. I was like really? Than what am I leaking. She said sometimes the area that is leaking can seal back up after some time. I did wait 3 hours to go in so I thought maybe that is what happened. My contractions continued and got closer. They decided to do a different test. This one was painful, it felt like a shard of glass was being shoved inside me. The nurses then left the room to test it and as the door shut... pop, my water completely broke. I turned to Tim and said "Well, Owen in coming today, my water just broke." The nurses then came back in and said it was positive and I laughed and told them it broke just as they left.

Everything began to move quickly. Before I knew it I was getting stuck with needles everywhere. I was really nervous about getting an epidural again, but it wasn't bad at all. Then before I knew it they were wheeling me down to the OR. They prepped me and the pressure from laying on my back was so uncomfortable. The numb feeling of the epidural wasn't helping, it felt like a brick wall was on top of me... I wanted to rip it out. It took a bit longer to get Owen out because they had to cut through my scar tissue from my previous c-section. About 10 minutes later Owen was born. I could not believe it, I had just given birth to our second son. The thought overwhelmed me as I began to tear up looking at Tim holding our son. He was beautiful and had a ton of hair. They then sewed me back up and I was soon reunited with Tim and our Son.

Zach met Owen the next day. He was not quite sure what to think. He has warmed up to him over the past few weeks and loves being an older brother. He brings me diapers, wipes, blankets, binkis.... he is such a good helper. He also likes to tuck Owen in and gives him a stuffed animal.

I was only in the hospital for about 48 hours. I begged them to let me leave. I just wanted to go home. I wanted to see and hold Zach again. I hated being apart from him. With Zach I was in the hospital for 5 days, and I didn't want to stay that long again. We got home late Saturday night and we had some amazing things happen within 5 min of getting home. I opened the cupboard to hide some candy from Zach and our crock pot flew out and shattered on the ground. Then Tim picked it up and took it to the trash. He came back in and walked around the house. It smelled like dog poop. Tim had stepped in it and walked it through the house. It was an awesome welcome home gift. I couldn't help but just laugh. We cleaned up and went to bed, it felt amazing to be home with my family and in my own bed.

I am so grateful for my amazing sons. I am so blessed and I am so grateful for our precious gift from Heaven. Every time I look at him I fall more in love with his sweet spirit. We love being a little family of four.

Big Changes are on the Horizon

Well, Baby Owen will be here in 2 weeks! As I sit here I can tell he wants out! His slow rolling from side to side hurts my stomach and makes it sore, so I also want him out! This trimester hasn't been the greatest having constant contractions all the time. Especially in the car, for some reason it triggers my contractions and driving while having a contraction is uncomfortable and a little distracting. Also having a toddler to chase made this pregnancy more challenging but also fun because Zach has been so gentle and I can tell he already loves his little brother. I am very excited to meet Owen but almost more excited for Zach to meet him.

I have pretty much everything ready for him. I just need to wash all of his clothes, the car seat cover, and blankets. I also need to set up the pack and play with the bassinet. I bought diapers the other day and they are so small! Having Zach I forget how small newborns are and I am not going to be able to just prop him one my hip like I do with Zach. One thing I am not quite ready for is breastfeeding. Who ever said that breastfeeding was easy was dead wrong! I wasn't able to feed Zach due to low milk supply...the most I ever produced was an ounce. I also blame myself though because I didn't educate my self about it enough before having Zach. This time around I took a class and really learned about breastfeeding. So I am hoping that this time will be successful because honestly formula was expensive!

This past week my sister Debbie threw my sister katie, my sister in law Andee, and I and triple baby shower, It was great and we all looked like were ready to pop!

For the past few weeks we have been in the process of buying a house. We have found a few down on the Sleepy Ridge Golf course in Vineyard. We're not sure what it will be like living on a golf course but the houses are at a unbeatable price right now. The houses are brand new and gorgeous. We have narrowed it down to two houses and will most likely put in offers sometime this week.

This is the house that is our first choice. I absolutely love this house!

This is our second choice. I really like this one as well. They each have their own special differences.

Obviously the pictures don't show the whole house but you get the idea. So, big changes are coming and it's all a little scary but exciting as well. We went to the ward this morning that we would attend and it was great. I can see us making a lot of great friends and there were a ton of young kids for Zach to make friends with. I am really hoping it all works out and that we will soon be able to start making one of these houses our home!

Getting Bigger!

This baby boy is growing growing growing, and is even bigger than this today. We are thinking about naming him Owen but were not 100 percent sure, well I am but Tim's not. I am growing too as you can see. I am starting to get uncomfortable and sleeping is becoming more difficult. This pregnancy is very different from the first. This baby is carrying very high...Zach's was the opposite. He is constantly in my ribs and it can be painful and take my breath away. I can't wait for him to drop. I can feel him move all day long and sometimes all night. Tim has been able to feel him multiple times and I am getting so excited to meet our son!

The Happiest Place on Earth

About a month ago we went to Disneyland! It was so much fun and Zach had a blast! We had hopper tickets so we also went to California Adventure. We spent 3 days there and then went to Tim's sisters house for the weekend. We also stayed a few nights with my best friend Lindsay. Here are some pictures of our trip:

Building a fort with the boys
At the museum, big fish!
I grew up in this house, I miss it! They were filming at it!
Bugs life Land!
We bought Zach this Pooh Bear, he loves it!
