Working on week 29

I am 28 weeks and working on week 29. On Thursday, while Rex was at school, Sharon took me to my appointment with my OB/GYN. Everything looked good still. I took my glucose test (not too bad, they have definitely improved the flavor!) I got a call Friday afternoon from the doctor about my test results, which had me worried for a moment, but he assured me that I am not diabetic. I guess they also checked my hemoglobin levels and they came back very low. So I am anemic, big surprise, I have been with the other pregnancies too. But this time he wants me doubling my dose of iron supplements. Explains why I have felt more tired and weak lately.

I know this isn't much of an update, but really isn't much more to say about that. This last couple days I have worked on transferring the pictures I took of the Young Women in our ward (while I was in that calling) from our home computer to our lap top. The CD burner on the home computer wouldn't work, so I transferred them all to burn them onto CD from the lap top. It took two Cd's! Yeah, I like to take pictures. I am going to give the Cd's to the young women's president, Sunshine H. She will figure out something cute to do with all of them I am sure. Some of the pictures were of the girls and their dads learning how to dance from Bro and Sis Bergevin, a talent show night for the Beehives and Mia maids, the night we played the giant size game "LIFE" in the gym, Sister Spencer's Birthday Party, and some great Girls Camp pictures! It was a lot of fun to go back and look at the all! Good Memories girls! I will cherish them forever.

Here are some pictures of Seth and Madison with their best friend, Max!

Aren't they cute! They love Max, and he is great with them... As long as they stay away from him while he is eating. He is very possessive of his food and will bite to defend it. Hard to say what from his past caused him to be that way, but we just keep his food far from where the kids play.

I sure miss you all! Hope everything is going well in your lives! Love Aleece

P.S. I got my hair chopped off this week and I hate the way it turned out!!!! You may not get to see any more pictures of me... lol I shouldn't have gone with the bangs! Ahhhh! Too late now, I guess, but I am so sad about it. I cut it short to avoid spending a lot of time on my hair, but now I have to spend more time trying to make it look decent! Pickles!

lol. Pickles. That is cute. I'll have to remember that.

I know what you mean about the short hair. It is the pits when the shorter 'do takes more time.

You are doing great! I love reading your blog and am inspired by your strength and optimism. I look forward to seeing your little ones...but not too soon! You tell those boys to keep baking! :)

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.
