22 Weeks

Today marks 22 weeks along. Seth and Madison spent the morning with Katie and her girls while Rex was at a work meeting. When she dropped them off she brought a new box of movies for the kids to watch (Madison loves the Winnie the Pooh movies). Katie also copied 2 hours of BYU channel for me to watch, since she has cable and we don't. What a sweet heart.
Yesterday was eventful, and I am glad I didn't have to do it all my self. Jana Kemble came that morning and picked up Seth and Madison. They love playing at her house... They are good friends with her little boy Eli. She wanted to help by keeping them until 4 pm and let them nap at her house. While they were gone my mother in law, Sharon, came over and tidied up the house. She was a big help. Sister Standley came over a little before 3:30pm and we talked for about an hour while waiting for Seth and Maddie to get home. I learned from our conversation that one of her daughters had my same Perinatologist Dr. Watson. She said he is excellent, and Rex and I agree. I am glad to have have my same OB/GYN Dr. Bowen working with me still (I have been seeing him for a little over 6 years), but it is nice to know both Dr Bowen and Dr Watson are looking out for me. Anyway... more about Dr's in a minute...
Sister Standley was here until 7 pm when Rex got home. She tended to the kids when they needed me... I am so glad she was here. Just during the time she was here Madison had gotten into several things, and knocked over a few things. Seth was pretty well behaved, but he had an accident on the way to the restroom (I am sure he would be humiliated that I am writing this, when he reads it years from now) but I wouldn't have been able to clean him up on my own without getting a contraction, so bless sister Standley's heart... she cleaned it all up. And I am not talking a #1 accident- it was a #2 accident, if you know what I mean. Yuck!
A little while later dinner showed up. Sister Hellewell's son Adam made it for us. It was delicious Nachos. Mexican is actually my most favorite pregnancy food~ It just had to be put in the oven to melt the cheese. Thank you Adam! So Sister Standley warmed dinner and fed the kids and I. When Rex got home he dished him self up (and I asked for seconds). Hey you can't blame me, after all I have only gained 8 pounds this whole pregnancy. :)
Anyway, I was so glad at the end of the day to have had all the help I did. Thank you every one!
Tomorrow I have another doctors appointment, where I find out if my insurance will cover a physical therapist. Dr Watson said he thinks I need physical therapy. My legs have been hurting a lot from not being used, and laying down on my sides all the time makes my pelvis and hips hurt more. I really hope I will be able to get the care I need. I'll update again tomorrow. I will have some more pictures of Seth and Madison.

About Aleece

I was born in Reno Nv. on June 14th 1981 to Jeaneen and Tony Sobrio. I am the oldest of 6 kids. I graduated from Washoe High, in Reno, NV. I have some of my degree at Snow College, but now I am a stay at home mom (and I love it... No better place for me!) Rex and I are parents to 5 beautiful children; Seth, Madison, Alex, Zachary and Riley. Seth turned 5 years old just 3 weeks before the triplets were born. We have had an exited and eventful life. So many hard trials over come, and many more we are still working on. If you read below about my husband, Rex, you will learn a little about him and his endeavors at this time. It is hard having him gone for so long, and we miss him. I have had to pull strength from a place I wasn't sure I had. After he had been gone exactly one month, I broke down in my first tears. Rex's mom was there to hug me and a dear friend took the kids while I got a little break. I have been doing much better since that break down, and I anticipate another sob fest is in the works when we all get to see him again at Christmas. Just so you all know, Rex and I choose this path because he need to finish what he started before the triplets were a factor. He needs his law degree to provide well. I need him to provide well, to allow for me stay home, where I want to be, for our children.
I love music, and crafts. I sew a lot too. Okay, I used to do those things a lot more than I do now. ;-)

My favorite quote is: “No success can compensate for failure in the home.” President David O. McKay.

About Rex

Go Ducks! Need I say more?
Okay Rex says that fits him well, but I will write a little something for him. Rex Graduated from the University of Oregon in June this year with a bachelor of Science, Political Science Major, and minors in Business Administration, and Economics. Rex is a hard worker. He got great grades, and on top of full time school, he worked part time, has five kids, and a demanding wife (not!) Rex is currently enrolled at Baltimore University School of Law, in Maryland. This was the only school he was accepted to inside an area he was familiar with. See Rex served a mission for the church in Maryland from 2000- 2002. The Brown's (a very nice family from Rex's mission) offered Rex a place to live while he finishes his first year of law school there in Maryland. After the first year we hope he can transfer to another school nearer family. If not, the kids and I will move out there. The reasons why the kids and I didn't go with him now are mostly monetary. It would just cost too much to move again so soon. We had to move 2 months before he found out what schools he was accepted to for law school. So we are sealed into a lease at our new place, with the option to break it, but not with out penalties, penalties we can't afford. So here we are...

The great thing is that Rex is doing well at school, I am holding together better than most thought I would, and we talk to him every day either by phone or Skype. I send him lots of texts with pictures or videos of the kids. It's hard on a man to be away from his kids, so I try to keep him in the loop on every little thing they do. We miss him a lot. Can hardly wait until Christmas! My husband is a stellar guy. So glad we have each other, forever.
