How do you fall up the stairs and land 10 ft away?

I honestly don't know how to properly answer that question. But yes I did fall up my stairs and land 10 ft away. How you ask? I was walking up them and when I got to the second step from the top I somehow lost my footing or something and just started to go up and I guess I was trying to re gain my footing but then hit some ice and snow and then ended up kinda falling on my belly and rolling over it landing on my back. In the process I manage to not only land on my belly but also hit my shoulder pretty bad and my low back and tail bone. Thank God I had my cell phone in my pocket and didnt leave it in the car while I went inside cuz I would have just been stuck there. I called John to come out and help me up and I was just covered in snow and could barely walk and couldn't move my arm at the shoulder at all. John said that I should go to the hospital to have the baby checked out but Im stubborn and so I told him no. We went down to his work to get something from his mom and while we were there he told his mom that I fell on my belly and with tears in his eyes he looked at me and said "that's my baby in there. You need to go get him checked out." So after that I cracked and we went to the hospital. When we got there I went to the er part cuz I didnt no if I should go there or upstairs. The guy at the desk asked "do you need to see a doctor?" No genius. Just thought I'd come to the er and visit. Duh. So he asked what was wrong and then said take a seat and a nurse will call you. Well I thought that was odd since I just told him Im 34 weeks pregnant and fell on my belly. But a nurse came out immediatly and called me back. So he asked what was wrong and I told him and then the first guy I talked to was like "wait how far along are you?" So I said 34 weeks. And he starts laughing and said "Oh i thought you said 3 to 4 weeks. We need to get you upstairs then!" They wheeled me upstairs and had a nurse hook me up to monitor Tristans heart rate and contractions. Then they called my doctor to see what she said. She just wanted them to monitor him for a while just to make sure and then give me lortab and had me walk around for 15 min cuz my legs were numb but I could only do it for about 7 min because they started shaking, I almost fell and the pain was just too much to handle. I got there around 10 30 pm and they let me go at 4 am. My doctor recommended that I go to the er just to get my back and stuff checked out. They just said because your pregnant we cant take an x-ray so all we can do is say you tail bone is either bruised badly or possibly broken and they gave me more pain meds. When I finally laied down to go to bed it to all the strenth in my body to get in my bed and lay on my side. And I was constantly waking up because it was so hard to flip over to the other side. At times I would be outta breathe. Im just glad Tristan is ok and I didn't get hurt worse then I did. Although this pain is terrible and just want it to heal quickly. So like I said I'm now 34 weeks and time is kinda flying by. I cant wait till Tristan is here.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!

Much love,
John, Sarah, Tristan and Ryder

John came home from work one day and his arm looked like this. I asked him if he was turning into a reptile or something.

AHHHHHH!!!!!

So Im on the verge of honestly pulling all my hair out. Maybe I'll pull a Britney Spears and just shave it. That would be easier. Last Thursday we woke up and our bathroom and kitchen were flooded. It would have been ok but our kitchen is carpet, so you can just imagine. We called our landlord and told them and they sent their cousin to come see what was up. He thought it was the toilet so he "fixed" it and was on his way. Well it flooded again and again. So they came back and said "oh its the water heater. There was too much pressure so it's spitting out water and not air". So they "fixed" that. Well once again it flooded again and again. So they came back yet again and this time said its the the pipe in the shower. So they ripped out our shower and while they were out buying the stuff to re-do the shower it flooded again. So then they took our toilet off once again. All I have to say is dont take a pregnant womans toilet!! Who does that?! So the problem is finally, hopefully fixed. And I got my toilet back :D but I dont have a shower. First they take the pregnant womans toilet and now her shower!! When are they going to learn. Well because of the water on the carpet it smells of rank water and they are going to be coming in and ripping up the carpet and putting tile in. So it's still not done. So I'm an emotional wreck and very stressed. Not good. I told John to just ignore my rudeness. Crazy Psycho Pregnant Woman is here for a little bit. I'll just be happy when it;s all over.

31 weeks, almost there

Wow. Almost to eight months. Just 9 more weeks till my wittle boy is here. Well technically anywhere between now and then. Im hoping to make it to his due date because my doctor is due Jan 22 and my mom is planning on coming out the beginning of Feb. So Tristan keep cookin, even though I want you here. I cant believe its already been almost 8 months since John and I got married. It has flown by so fast. In a good way. The prego dreams are still coming. Cant wait for them to be over. Weirdest one is that my mom and I had the same one kinda. Kind of freaky if you ask me.

Ive been looking around for a carseat and stroller and just have decided that I am just way too picky. I see one I like but then there is always something I dont like. Ive been mostly looking at brown, green and blue as a combo. I found some online but I want to see them in person. lol. John calls me crazy. I just want the perfect one for my baby. I went with my prego friend Cynthia yesterday to register at babies-r-us. I had a blast picking out things I liked and want for him. I cant wait to decorate his little room.

And whats up with no snow?! Its freezing out there and the only way its ok to be cold is when there is snow. For all the snow haters out there, quit hating. Its December and should be snowing.

Gotta get back to my amazing job. Sitting here watching Anchorman is fun and makes time go faster. Enjoy the pics. Sorry theres none of John and I.


Everyone says my belly is bigger in pictures. I promise its really mine. lol



Its kinda hard to draw a heart on your belly when you cant see. :)


Thought it was cute. Ryder giving his brother a kiss.
