Some new news!

I've been a little MIA from my blog. I didn't want to tell you about our life, as I was unsure of what exactly was happening. However, after receiving some news, I will now gladly share.

About a month and a half or so ago, I told Tyler that I think he should go to school. He has mentioned BYUI bring the only school that would accept his credits from Treasure Valley CC which he attended before we got married. So I ran with the idea. 

Being the crazy person and wife that I am, while Tyler was at work one day, I applied to BYUI for him (don't worry, I've applied for him for schools before! Haha! So he should know, ex. NAU). I asked him questions I wasn't sure of and he answered, a little confused at why I was asking. When he got home that day, I had the application in and just needed a few more things from him. He was surprised, but not really shocked, as I had done this before! Ha! 

Now we just had to wait for BYU and see what else they would need, then give them what they needed, then see if they needed anything else and so on until it was completed. Once that was done we just had to wait. Thankfully the waiting wasn't that long. On April 4th we got admitted! YEAAAAAH! Not sure what semester or block we have been accepted into yet, but should know I'm a few days. 

We still have our house in Payson, but have listed that with our amazing agent and it is on the market. (Help get our house sold people!!) Though we still have this tie, things seem to be working out (I told you they would)! So that's our update. 

I'm still crazy. Tyler will be going to school! And we will be moving. The Forsberg's will soon be in Rexburg. A new adventure is on the horizon!

Also check out these pictures from Easter and before. I didn't get very many of Ridge (he's been a very terrible pre 2 year old)! 
We all match! Easter Sunday!
I got Ridge and Delaney bunny ears!
Hey check out this cute couple! We should be friends;)
This cute little girl!
I love her!
I need to get more pictures of Ridge!
Chunky girl and handsome boy!

Smelling the roses.
This girl turned 3 months old! She LOVES to sit up and roll on her side. She's super smiley and incredibly sweet! We love her and all her chub!

I love this photo! Ridge has been so sick and was so tired that he fell asleep with Grandpa while watching LDS general conference.

Hard times!


So back in September of 2015, Tyler and I had JUST purchased a house. I was expecting our second child. Tyler had his job as a police officer. Then everything changed. October came and the job that was suppose to be great, was lost! We were heartbroken. It was stressful and emotional and freaking hard and still is. We thought we were going to be in Payson for a long time. Not forever, but longer. So because of that, we started to snowball down hill. With a new house, a bigger car, and a baby on the way, we didn't know what to do. We applied for state insurance and thankfully our ward helped us. 

Now I feel like we have plateaued on the bottom but will soon be making a comeback. And as hard as this has been on me, it's been even harder on Tyler! I've been trying to be strong. But I struggle with depression something fierce. So we've exchanged our roles back and forth to be each other's supports. But there have been two other short people that it has been hard on. Our two little babes, Ridge and Delaney! Delaney's probably the least effected. But I e noticed it has been taking a toll on sweet little Ridge. He use to be the happiest, easy going kid ever. He always wanted to please everyone, especially me! But lately, staying with Grandma and Grandpa, I've noticed a change. I never thought it would effect him. But it has. And it breaks my heart. However, I plan on having little dates with just him, and having family talks, and doing more as his mom to help him. He's been so tired and been having tantrums and been sick. And I think he keeps waiting to go home. But we aren't going home. And I just don't know what to do. I feel like I've been failing as his mom and as a wife. And I know there is a brighter future ahead for us. But it is so hard to see. 

Anyways. Sorry for my sob story. I'm so grateful to be apart and an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It's amazing that even though rings have been so rough, and I've been sad and Tyler has been sad, I know things will work out. I don't know when and don't know how, but I have faith. And I'm SO grateful for my parents. They have taken us in and have helped us in so many ways! They support us and have given us their time and love. 

Now to make you feel better, mainly I need to feel better, look at these pictures! Goodnight!
We got a new puppy, Rusty. And they ALL hated being in this picture! Hah! 
Ridge and his puppy Rusty were fast friends!
Delaney just being cute!
This Sunday, I made everyone wear black and red!! 
Family selfie! 
She is 2 months in this picture! My how time flies!
Ridge just practicing selfies! 

That's all for tonight.

Delaney Elizabeth

Delaney Elizabeth Forsberg! She made her debut on December 29, 2015, at 9:31 pm. She weighed 9 pounds 5 ounces and was 21 inches long. 
Isn't she a beauty? I LOVE her so much! 

The story now! My doctors appointment was on Dec 28 and we went in (I hopeless and Tyler full of hope) thinking I may get induced. I was 39 weeks. Doctor said we couldn't induce because it was against hospital policy, but we could do "cervical ripening" the next day. So my parents took Ridge down to the valley to spend the night and watch him. Tyler and I went on a date to dinner at Chilles since we had no clue what to do without Ridge. 

The next morning came and we had to be at the hospital at 7:30 am. So we woke up and headed on over. I was put in a pre labor room and given cytoctec in pill form up there, if you catch my drift. I was told if I didn't progress (currently not effaced or dilated and my cervix was  so high and far back) after the two hours, I would be sent home. Well I was having constant and consistent contractions every 1.5-2 minutes, and could sometimes feel the bigger ones. BUT I didn't have any progress to my cervix and because my contractions were so close, the nurses couldn't insert another pill. I was sent home at about 2:30-3 pm. I was devastated and just decided this baby was NOT coming. So I dressed and we left, my parents had come back up with Ridge at this time. Before leaving, the nurse, Kim, said to walk and bounce on the ball a lot. I came home and bounced for a good hour. Then went on a walk with my mom. Then came back and decided to have a shower and wash my hair. Then since this baby was NOT coming, I wanted to style my hair to look good. I blew it dry and was curling it. While curling, I started having contractions big enough I could feel, at 7:30 pm, and decided to keep track. After my hair was curled, I came into my living room to tell everyone I was having pretty painful contractions every 1.5-2 min apart and told Tyler that we should go walk around Walmart. My mom said to bring the hospital bag. I said "no! I'm not having this baby so I'm not bringing it." But as Tyler and I walked out the door, I told him to grab it. 

So out we went. Now our Land Rover had been having suspension problems, meaning we didn't have ANY! This car was a bouncy mess. It was HELL! On the way to Walmart, I texted my friend at 7:59 pm and said we weren't having a baby today! Boy was I wrong. On one bump, fluid leaked out. I was embarrassed and told Tyler that i thought I peed a little (I'm not like others and have really good control over my bladder). Then once in the Walmart parking lot, more fluid. I said "Babe, I think I'm peeing my pants!" I was SO SAD to be peeing my pants. Lol. And then I said that I think my water is breaking and to head straight to the hospital!! On the way there, I called my doctor only to have it go to voicemail. I left a message saying that I thought my water had broke and that I was headed to the hospital. 

We got to the hospital parking lot at 8:06 pm and my water just BROKE! Water every where. I got out of the car and it leaked all down my pants. Now being super embarrassed and drenched from the waist down, Tyler and I rushed inside, me while trying to cover my bum and pants with my jacket. And Tyler being embarrassed with how I was acting trying to cover myself. But hey! I've got to be decent! Lol! 

We pushed the button, said my water broke, and I was brought in. Changed, then boom! Full on labor! Nurses couldn't get ahold of my doctor on his cell phone. So they called his home phone and thankfully he answered. So now he had to rush, living 15-20 min out of town. Meanwhile I'm in freaking pain because that is tough and I'm a baby! I was asked if I wanted an epidural, to which I obviously replied YES to. The epidural guy was now called on on his way. But there I was, still having contractions and trying to wait for the doctor. The nurses were rushing because everything was happening so fast. I had to hold still and my arm was being held by Tyler while a nurse took my blood. Finally the epidural guy showed up. I was told I would have to hold still or he couldn't give it to me. In my head I thought "of all thing to sit still through, THIS is it! I NEED this drug!" Haha. The guy was SO FAST and great! He did it between contractions! After the epidural was placed (I had started pushing before and was told "DONT PUSH!") my doctor showed up! I started pushing again. My epidural hadn't kicked in yet. So I could feel everything and was having a natural birth. Then out popped little Delaney. Actually HUGE Delaney. Haha. I hasn't seen her yet and no one was saying "she/he is beautiful!" Or anything like that. So I said, rather loudly, "Is it a girl?!" And was told yes, then saw the glory of my chubby girl. They had other things to do because she didn't really want to cry. She just meowed and complained, but the nurses wanted a BIG cry. While they were taking care of her, my epidural finally kicked in enough the get stitched up. Thank goodness. 

The nurses cleaned her up and gave her to me. Then told me she weighed 9 pounds 5 ounces! I, along with everyone else, was SHOCKED! The nurses said "where was your mama hiding you?" And the doctor stated that he couldn't believe how chunky she was! 


She and her curly locks are absolutely perfect! And at 3 weeks old, no longer fitting in any newborn anything, she is just as chunky and beautiful now as she was then! 

So my labor and delivery was a hour and a half from water breaking to baby born! So fast and everyone was awesome! 

Also the hospital had a "celebratory parents" dinner! Cutest thing ever! They made Tyler and I a cute couples dinner. Complete with steak and shrimp, salads and baked potatoes, yummy mushrooms and cheesecake for dessert! 
Oh and Martinellis! Because it wouldn't be "celebratory" without those!

November

Life has been... Tough. 

We just purchased out new house and have been working on that. It's really coming together though the new house is definitely a project. We only have electricity for the purple room in one outlet. So we have to figure that out. Today we found there is a water leak somewhere and we therefore have no water. This makes going to the bathroom, well, impossible! 

On top of that, Tyler has unfortunately lost his job. We are fighting that, but it takes time. And in the mean time, he's got to find work elsewhere. 

I'm also 31 weeks pregnant. So there's that. With no job, there's no insurance. So no more doctors visits until we can get on, hopefully, state insurance. 

Yesterday being Halloween and staying up later than normal, people weren't in the best moods at church. People in bad moods make me cranky! Thankfully the two people throwing tantrums would leave sacrament meeting together and give me a bit of peace. I feel like today has been a failure though. I ended up sitting in the car crying during the end of sacrament. Then I had Tyler take Ridge to nursery. Ridge loves nursery and asked to go. So Tyler took Ridge and I sat in the car during Sunday school crying again. I then decided I needed to go to relief society and hear the message and try to get in a better mood. I needed it. The lesson was on charity. And boy did I need charity. I needed it to accept Tyler's apology about his bad attitude. I needed it to apologize to Ridge for being a meanie mom and not being able to handle his banshee screaming during the sacrament meeting. I just needed charity. And today, it was tough! I'm so thankful for relief society! It humbles me. 

Anyway! Everyone needs more charity! 

And I am just finishing typing this because I removed the blogger app so I could have tons of photos and couldn't remember where I was going with this. Haha. 

And I have no photos from Halloween because I got a new phone and uploaded them all to the computer.
