School
Okay so this post may be a little odd for some since it will make no sense and why write about this since I haven't written in my blog for over a year. Well lets just say for the past 1.5 years I have been going to school to get my associates degree. I hope to continue on with my education even after my associates but not until my children are in school and I have more time. Well and lets be honest when I can also get more sleep. These twins are sucking all my energy out of me but I wouldn't change it for the world. They are my pride and joy. Alright well back to the reason for my post or new things I have added. I am taking a Living in a Digital World class and my last assignment I am doing is a Blog. Enjoy!

Keegan Blessing
Keegan was Blessed on 3-6-11, which was Our 2 year anniversary. It was so special and I am very greatful for the presthood holder in my family. I am greatful that Chad takes that calling seriously and was able to bless our baby! I am greatful for the Family that came out to support us and be here for his "big" day! My mom made Keegans blessing outfit out of my wedding dress. I figured I was never going to wear the thing again :) We then bought Chad and Keegan matching ties to wear for the blessing cause I like a little color with everything.

Keegan's First couple Months
Keegan has been such a great baby since the day he was born. He gave mom a few little scares but once we got his feeding under control it has been smooth sailing from there. He started out sleeping about 5-6 hours at night and boy was that nice. There was a couple days when it was an every 2 hours I want to eat but not many, thank goodness. He likes to sleep with us and has to be snuggled right up to Mom or Dad. I have tried many things to get him to sleep in his bassinet but he say "Nope put me in here and I am going to cry!" So I figure if we get sleep then by all means he can sleep with me. It is funny how your feelings change about things like that cause before he was born I was like no way, he ain't sleeping wiht me. He is a happy little guy and loves to be held and look around at everything. In February we did his Newborn Photo Shoot Chad's step sister is a great photographer and did an amazing job!

January 7, 2011
I was laying in bed, a typical morning for me, and my phone started to ring. It was my mom so I answered it and heard some news that I defiently wasn't expecting to hear. My mom said "Michelle, I am calling to tell you that your dad passed away this morning." I proceeded to ask what happened. In short detail He was driving and had a massive heart attack and died on the scene. I was shocked though and didnt even really know what to think. For of you guys that know me, know I don't have a great relationship with my dad. My first thought was "I didn't even tell him Keegan was born." That is still my one regret to this day. After hearing the news I was not planning on going up to his funeral, for it was the middle of winter, we were tight on money, I didnt have a great relationship with my dad and didn't think I would care, and Keegan was just over a weeks old and that is a long drive to take so soon. But as the day went on and it begun to sink in of what had happened I decided that I needed to make a trip up there and say my good byes and have closure or I would reget it down the road. So around 5pm we threw everything together and started the LONG drive up to Spokane, WA. I am so greatful that I decided to go. I was able to say my good byes and It was the best time and a bonding moment with my family.
I was so blessed that Keegan did amazing on the drive and didn't get sick.
"DAD! I love you and will forever miss you! I know you are watching over my little Keegan and that even though you are not here to be his grandpa that you are his angel!"
On a side note Keegan was weighted this day and had lost more weight since being sent home. They had me start pumping and supplementing formula. He just never wanted to eat and would fall asleep as soon as I put a bottle in his mouth.

Delivery Day and Hospital Stay (this post is only 7 months late)
December 29, 2010
On this cold and snowy Wednesday my day started out the same. Sleeping in and the sitting on the couch watching tv. At around noon I started having contractions but nothing really strong or consistant. At about 4:30pm I got a strong urge to use the bathroom (Warning the next parts might be alittle to much info but this is my journal so sorry)... So up off the couch I got and for some reason grabbed my cell phone first, I went and sat on the toilet and started bleeding alot, I started to panic and sent Chad a text and then called my doctor. I was bleeding so much that I couldn't get off the toilet for over 10 minutes. I was also passing blood clots the size of my fist. I was so scared cause I had no clue what was going on or what to do. So when on the phone with my doctor he said to go ahead and go into Labor and delivery and be checked, I don't think he really understood to what extent I was bleeding. So I called Chad and told him he needed to head home NOW! I was still in panic mode. I called a few people to try and get a ride to the hospital or meet Chad some place since he was an hour away! My friend Anita was able to come get me and we met up with Chad.
I checked in to the hopsital at around 5:30ish, of coarse by that time I was no longer bleeding... UGH! So they hooked me up to the monitors and checked me. I don't think they believed me in the amount of blood I had lost! UGH stupid nurses thinking that just cause I am a new mom I don't know anything! I was at a 1 and 80%! To my suprise I was having regular contractions about 1.5 minutes apart. So after being there for about 30 minutes I again had a strong urge to use the toilet. I called in the nurse to unhook me, I got up and again a gush of blood come, I told Chad to call the nurse back in cause yet again I was unable to get off the toilet. The Nurse came in a looked and then in a hurry said I am going to go call your doctor and left. I was finally able to get back into bed but not before filling up the toilet with blood yet again! This time they didn't flush it so that the doctor could see it! About 5 minutes later the nurse came in and said I hope your okay with a c-section cause your doctor wants to get the baby out. Of course I was okay with it and even if I wasn't I wanted what was best for my baby. They started preparing me for the surgery! Of coarse this happened on the same day as a huge snow storm so it took my doctor about 45 minutes to get there when it should have taken about 5 minutes.
Once the doctor got there, they rolled me back and the surgery started. My Doctor didn't even wait for the assisting doctor. I was later told that my placenta was detaching and that why I was bleeding. At 7:32pm Mr. Keegan McCoy was born. He weighted in at 7lbs 4oz! He nurse said that he had the biggest head she had ever measured! I was worried cause he wasn't really crying and they kept trying to get him to breathe by rubbing his back. They told me that he were going to take him to the nursery and monitor him and get him on some oxygen. I was worried and still in shock but couldn't wait to hold my baby. I went to recovery and then back to my room and finally at around Midnight I was able to get up and stand long enough for me to get into a wheelchair to go see Keegan.
When I went into the nursery, I saw my precious and tiny little boy hooked up to machines. He was hooked up to oxygen and also had an IV as a precaution cause they weren't sure how much blood I had lost. They alos had some other monitors on him. After holding him and doing skin to skin for about 30 minutes the on call doctor decided he was free to go back to my room with me. YAY! I could hold my baby for the rest of the night. I was still in shock and could really believe that I was a Mom and this little baby belonged to me.
He had a few other complications due to being early. They still had to monitor his oxygen closely and he didn't have a sucking reflux for the first 2-3 days. We couldn't get him to eat anything. After like our 3rd day in the hospital the doctor talked about putting him on a feeding tube. Keegan didnt like that idea and started eating later that day. He lost just under a pound before leaving the hospital so they wanted me to keep a close eye on it. Other then that Keegan was a great baby. He never cried, even when they had to check his blood sugar levels or do his PKU testing. He stayed with me the whole visit in the hospital. We were released Sunday mid morning. It was defiently nice to be home but I missed the nurses waiting on me hand and foot. It was nice to have someone do everything for me.

Last Few months of My Pregnancy!
Okay so I have been a super slacker but sometimes it is so hard to just sit down and write! Really who reads it anyways.
Nothing really exciting happened the last few months of my pregnancy. I did have to go to Labor and Delivery a few times in November and the begining of December. Keegan just liked to stress me out and sit so far back on my back that I couldn't feel him moving for long periods of time. I, of coarse being a first time mom was freaked out about it since my doctor always told me I should feel 10 movements in any given hour a day! Lets just say Chad and I had alot of late nights at the Hospital being monitored.
On December 21st, Chad and I made our trip down to the Hospital to be checked since Keegan was once again not moving. They monitored me for alot longer this time. I was starting to dilate. I was have contractions off and on but nothing to big. At that time I also was checked to see if my water was leaking.. One test come back positive, one came back negative... Go figure! So they had to do yet another test which came back negative. The one call doctor did order a ultrasound though just to check the fluid levels, During that ultrasound we founf out Keegan was measuring much bigger then he should. It set my due date at December 31st. His head was measuring 41 weeks (mind you I was only 25 weeks along), torso measuring 38 weeks and legs measuring 36 weeks. We did find out he had hair though and my fluid was perfect. So I was then set home!
After getting the results from the ultrasound tech of Keegan and his big head I decided to talk to my doctor about having a c-section, Yes I am a baby but I didn't wanna push that head out! My doctor wasnt happy about my desire for a c-section but scheduled it anyways for Monday January 10th. At this tim eI finally was okay with the fact that Keegan wasn't going to come in 2010, I wanted him to come in 2010 for a couple reasons.
~ We had already met our out of pocket max expenses for the year so our insurance would pay 100%
~ Tax Deduction!!
~ I really needed some sleep and with me hips it was nearly impossible
~ I couldn't wait to meet my little monkey!
Pregnancy Picture at 34 weeks!
