Ever Growing Belly!

The Ever Growing Belly!
At my check up with Doctor Bowen, Wednesday, I found out that my belly has only grown a half an inch outward in two whole weeks. However, my hips are spreading significantly and I am getting wider. LOVELY! :)
My belly button is so close to popping out... Rex used to always say, when the belly "button pops out the turkey is ready!" Not in this case huh? Still have a long way to go!

Found out yesterday that I will be getting Physical Therapy!!! Yea! I am scheduled for two visits at first and then I guess they will add on if I need more. I am so glad! Tonight was the ward Christmas Party... I got to go. Dr Bowen said I could as long as I didn't over do it. So, I was wheeled in, in a wheelchair, and sat on my tush nearly the whole time. It was good to get to see Seth perform in a little play of the nativity scene. He was a Shepherd, and he was so cute. Madison was all about the food and candy. She likes Santa for sure! He gave her candy. She had her first candy cane tonight... Yikes! Sharon came and picked the kids and I up from the house to take us to the church, And then her and Rex Sr. helped a lot with the kids during the program. Thanks Sharon and Rex Sr.
I would have had pictures of the kids to show off, but my camera wouldn't work right most of the night. I used the camcorder though, and everything turned out on that. I just can't share it online. I am so excited for the Christmas Season! Merry Christmas every one!
Love, The White's
P.S. My baby shower is Tomorrow (Sat.) at 1pm at the church. Everyone should have gotten an email invite from Jamie Doman, but if you didn't get the heads up then please know you are invited. Hope to get to see you all there! Thanks every one for all your help!
We feel so blessed because of all you do.

So happy to hear all is still going so well. Also happy to hear that you will be able to get physical therapy I am sure it will help.
I just can't even imagine having triples! Crazy stuff....but I am sure you can handle it or else the Lord would not have blessed you will 3 at a time.
We hope and pray you have a wonderful holiday season and stay healthy and strong as your family continues to grow.

Wow your belly sure is growing! You look great though. Seems like the bed rest is paying off. Not too much longer and the boys will be here. Hang in there. The PT should help. I hope you get lots at your shower. Sorry I can't make it...I will be sleeping, my crazy graves kill me on the weekends.

Thanks for the pics of the belly, keep them coming!

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.
