Awesome pictures!

Here are some awesome pictures I found of Kaena and other stuff :)
Here is Lehua holding her new sister, I gotta say,
she doesn't look to pleased!

I think this is Kaena's first picture! I took it with a cell phone.

What a motley crew! Me and Kualii are making really wierd

faces, and John just looks stupid, but I love the Kuhio picture face.

I think he makes that face in EVERY single picture he's in!

John's mom wanted pictures of all of us before she

left, I really enjoy this one, I just wish I was turned to the side more,

so you can tell I'm pregnant and not Kualii's Budha, oh, and that my eyes

were open!

Kualii & Budha

Kaena in her purple jammies! I love purple as a girl color!

Kaena Makananani!

To those of you who have already heard this story, I'm sorry. Well, not really, because it's a good story, and I am a great teller. Ok, here we go!
I was having a normal Wednesday. I was folding baby clothes and emailing my luscious friend Krista, when I heard the dogs bark, so I figured someone was here, and it was our neighbor, Carol. I saw my sister in law going to answer the door and I could tell that she was in pain, so I asked what was going on, and she told me that she'd been having a few contractions and she had some bloody discharge and that Carol was driving her to the doctors to get checked. She didn't know if it was a big deal since her contractions were so irregular. I felt bad for not checking on her all day, it was about 3:00. So we went to the doctor, and Aloha, my mother in law met us there and they took Lei back to moniter her contractions and such. a few minutes later, they called Aloha back (P.S. Lei's husband John was in Lake Havasue, Arizona picking up his parents, that's why he's not in this story) what seemed like seconds later, Aloha called me on my cell phone to tell me Lei was dilated to an 8 and we needed to get to the hospital next door. So we went, and by this time Lei was contracting heavily and in a lot of pain, she was just crying and sweating and all of that. So we went to the hospital, and I got the wheelchair, and I saw my old room mate, Katelyn. She was in the waiting room, she is pregnant too(well maybe not anymore) and she tells me she's 2 weeks overdue, and asks my due date etc... I had to wheel Lei in or I would have talked to her more, I really wanted to too, but I had to get Lei in there. If anyone knows any info on her let me know! I never found out what happened with her.
So we get into the room, and Lei is progressing WAY fast! And between contractions they are having her sign the forms and hooking up her IV, she wanted an epidural, but there was no time! Also, at the same time down the hall two other women were having babies right then. So nurses and cna's were running out of the room, they are having me hold Lei's knees. I held them til I thought my arms would fall off and I would surely die. In the nick of time Lei got a priesthood blessing from some guys in our ward, It was really a miracle that they made it because right after they left, me and a nurse held onto legs and she pushed twice, and there was a baby! It was so crazy, the doctor didn't have much time, but he was able to change and everything worked out.
She was born at 16:16 (4:16) in the afternoon. She weighs 7 lbs 1oz and is 19 inches long. Her name is Kaena Makananani (Kah-enna Muh-kaw-nuh-naw-nee) Kaena was Aloha's grandma's first name and Makananani is Grandma Min's middle name. I'm not sure what they mean yet.
So I got some hands on training in child birth, was horrified, then enlightened. I can't wait for my little K.J. comes! I love to hold Kaena, and am ready to meet my own! I would also like to add that carol was awesome, she was there for us the whole time, she's such a good neighbor! Ok, that's all I've got. I will put pictures up as soon as I can!

Needing hugs

So, today I found out that one of the kids in Zack (my brother)'s class was killed in a car accident. I didn't really know the kid, but Zack is really upset. He called me crying and just wanted to tell me how much he loves me. I hate when he is sad. I always have. He has basically been my best friend since he was born, we were always very protective of eachother. We kind of drifted apart like a lot of siblings do when we were teenagers and I was dating retards and he was being popular. I always regretted not staying closer to him during those years, maybe some of our mistakes could have been avoided, but whatever. Then after he graduated he started dating this really dumb girl with lots of baggage. It was one of those relationships where they kind of brought out the worst in eachother, well, not kind of, they really did. I didn't like how she treated him. We could all see it needed to end, but he felt like he had to stay with her because he was the only one she had (and oh, how she played that up! What a frickin martyr. I can't believe he dated mini grandma mickey). And then one day, he finally woke up, and dumped her! It was awesome, it was hard on him, but he knew it was the right thing to do. Then he realized he wanted to move on with his life and leave Gunnison, so he moved to cedar, He still has some things to do before he can start school, and he's looking for a job, but I have been so proud of him. He comes to see me a lot. I got to make him a birthday dinner, he turned 20 on tuesday. Anyway, it just feels like I have my Zack back. I know he'll be ok, I feel like he's growing up so much. He just really means alot to me, and I hope that he knows "the plan" and if he doesn't, maybe this will help him figure it out.

Ultrasound Pictures!

So, I figured out that the printer here has a scanner too! yes, I'm retarded. Anyway, here are my ultrasound pictures that I've wanted to put up for a while. Some are all crooked because the originals are kind of wrinkly and I couldn't get em in there straight, but I'm ok with that if you are!
Ok, these are the pictures from my first ultrasound (well I had a really early one where he looks like a bean, but I didn't put that in) Here is his profile. Here's his face, and you can see a little of his hand there too.

This one is the body, isn't it cool to see his spine and everything?

Here's where we found out he is a boy! I knew I was right!

Ok, since he didn't fully cooperate during the first ultrasound, and they didn't get some pictures they needed, we got to have another ultrasound about a month later, which I didn't mind at all!

Here's his profile again!

Here's one of his face, I think he looks like a creepy, smiley (but very attractive) skeleton.

And last but not least, is Kualii's favorite picture! As we can see, my son is not shy! What ticks me off, is that Lei's baby is even more spread eagle than this in her ultrasound picture, and there is NOTHING there, but Lei continues to tell people "they said it's a girl, but we'll wait and see." It's a girl, Lei! Just get over the fact that I got what you want!!

Idiots that work for Dr. Clark

Dr. Clark is my ob doctor. I really like him, and he's a very helpful and nice doctor, but the retards that work in his office really piss me off! Ok, so, I had an appointment last thursday, but the doctor had to go out of town, so they had to cancel all their appointments for that day which would have been fine, except that they failed to inform me of said cancellation and I got all ready, I got a ride and I went. And I'm usually pretty excited for my doctor's appointments, I like to know that the baby is fine, and I am fine, and I can get help for any problems I have (ie. wicked bad heartburn) So I was pretty dissapointed, but they rescheduled me for "Tuesday". Because I'm suppose to see him every 4 weeks, I assumed they meant this tuesday, plus I don't remember them saying anything about it not being this tuesday. So I get up, I get ready, get my ride and I go, and when I get there, they say, "You're appointment was for Tuesday the 17th" And being incredibly hormonal they can see that I'm upset, so they say they can see me, but it will be a while. I looked at my little reminder sheet, and sure enough, it did say the 17th. But I never thought to look at it. I know that a week might not be a big deal, but in my mind frame right now it is a big deal! I'm seven months pregnant, and I'm still waiting for drivers license issues to clear, so every time I have to have any appointment, it's a big deal because I have to plan everything very clearly, make sure I have a ride, make sure that ride is dependable, up, ready, etc. (my ride is usually my sister in law Lei, since my husband is just a little too busy.... oooh! he makes me so mad, but that's another day's issue). So I waited for quite a while (honestly not too much longer than I usually wait there, so that was a pleasant surprise) and of course I can't stop crying in the waiting room, cause that's what I do when I'm mad, I cry, which makes me even madder, so I cry more! I was so frustrated. I know it's my fault I didn't look at the date, but still, they made me feel like it was ALL my fault, like I was disrupting the whole office. I know it was at 11:30 and they were probably anxious for lunch, but did they ever stop to think that it was really inconvenient for me too? I wasn't trying to impose on anyone at all, I just wanted to hear my baby and ask my questions. Well, I finally got to see the doctor, and him and the M.A. were way nice to me and didn't act like I was taking too much of their precious time, which I really appreciated. Everything is fine. My blood pressure is normal, which my mom has been worried about for no reason, I got a prescription for the heartburn, and the baby is fine, has a good heart rate, and I'm the right size and everything. So I feel pretty good about that, the only thing I have to worry about now is finding money for my prescriptions and prenatal vitamins, (I'm assuming medicaid wont cover the prescriptions, they are jerks too) and getting a ride to a pharmacy to get them. I got home two hours later, my mother in law had to come get me, even though it's her busiest time at work right now. I am so mad at Kualii right now, I can't even express it! Oh well, I'll have to be angry at him from a distance, he is working right now. I had to vent about him a little. I'd like to much, much more, but I might hulk out and destroy several of my in laws major appliances, I don't know how much they'd like that. If it comes to that I'm starting with the dryer, I hate that stupid thing! Ok, thanks for reading my whining, if anyone actually reads all of this.
