Christmas 2014

We shared christmas this year with my family in  kerrville.  We had a great time and treasure these memories. 

He's here!

Mr Tygh Lloyd Fullagar made his debut on August 15 at 12 : 43 pm!  We are pretty smitten with him!

August 15th began as any other day. I was fast asleep in bed when suddenly things got a bit wet.  I jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom.  It was wlaround midnight. My water broke! All I could think was oh my he is a week early and we are suppose to move tomorrow!   Welp, plans changed.  I woke Rygh up and told him we needed to go to the hospital, tygh is coming today!  I called my doctor and told him I was coming in.   At my appointment this week I told him I couldn't have the baby til Sunday so when I talked to him on the phone the first thing he said was "lyn it's not Sunday. "  So I took a shower,  Rygh packed the truck,  and we headed to the hospital!

We got to the hospital around 130 am and they got me checked in.  My water did indeed break and we were going to have a baby. Things were going great til about 4 am when labor set in.  After two hours of running back and forth to the bathroom, throwing up any and everything,  I said call Dr Peters.  I was ready for the epidural! Props to people who do it Au naturale! I was dilated to a 4 at this time. Dr Peters ended his workout a bit early and came and did my epidural. The epidural was bliss.  I could move my feet and feel the contractions just I couldn't feel any pain.

At about 9, I was a 7-8. At 11, I was a 10 and ready to push! Now, I pushed for about an hour and 45 minutes.   Tygh decided to come out face up and needed a bit of suction to come out. He finally made his appearance at 12:43 pm.  We were elated that he was here and healthy.

I really thought I would be in labor all day. I really expected to be exhausted.  Let me just say labor was a breeze. Tygh was ready to make his appearance!  We are so blessed!

We also moved into our new house on August 16th! More on that later. ..

December 23, 2013

It was a few days before Christmas and I had been feeling rather nauseous the past couple of days.  I had also been a few weeks late on that beautiful time of the month.  Back up a few months, the end of September, we decided to stop birth control and wait to see what happens.  So on December 23rd, I told Rygh that we should probably buy a pregnancy test!  We bought six!  We felt like kids buying something we weren't suppose to be getting! We even went through the self check out and snuck out of the store. 

I got home and did the test.  Rygh was out feeding the cows.  Well, three minutes later, it said pregnant! All I could think was oh my gosh, thank you lord for this gift!  I ran out to Rygh on the tractor and told him! We are so excited!  

I went back inside and called to make an appointment with my doctor!  My first appointment was January 8th!  

 January 4th we hung out with my family at the cotton bowl.  we had a great time.  the morning sickness however really sank in the next day, but We managed to keep it a secret. 

   I got the full meal deal check up, blood work, and our first look at our peanut on january 8th! I held it together through the appointment.  It was crazy to see this being inside of me!  Well, I didn't quite remember the date of my last period, so they wanted me to come back next week for a dating ultrasound. 

January 16th was my next appointment for my ultrasound and to meet with my doctor.  The ultrasound told us that I was about 8 weeks along!  Our official due date is August 23, 2014!   They told us everything was looking good with the baby.  My blood work came back and my tsh was on the low side so I had to go back for some more blood work!

Well, since my doctor's appointment I have been going to bed at 7 almost every night, feeling nauseous all day, and trying to eat at least one good meal a day! 

Let me just say, morning sickness is no fun and it is just not in the morning! I have thrown up before work, after work, after eating one bite, after eating a full meal, and lots of times in between!  I wish I could figure out how to throw up with out it going through my nose!! That has been the absolute worst!  I have become a big fan of saline nasal spray and zofran!   I am down to 121 pounds from 134 pounds.  Praying to feel better soon!

I do have to give a little shout out to Rygh!  He has been the absolute best! Every time I think I want something to eat Rygh will make it for me or go and get it!  He brings me cold washcloths when I'm throwing up. He has allowed me to do little housework this month.  I vacuumed the house last week and was wiped the rest of the day! He has left me notes of encouragement on my mirror.  He has bundled me up in blankets when I'm cold and turned on the fan and ac when I'm hot.  He has been the best and I am so lucky.

Also, buster knows something is up.  He will not leave my side.  He used to lay beside me in my chair but lately has been laying on my lap and my tummy.  

I will say the first trimester has been pretty emotional.  After lots of throw up, I have been praying for The Lord to give me strength and to please take away this sickness.  I have spent a little time crying and praying for strength which is definitely "my word" for this time in my life!  I am so excited and terrified all at the same time. The Lord has entrusted us this gift and I just want to give thanks and be grateful for this gift.  Since, we haven't told anyone except our trainer Barry(Rygh can't lie) and our friends ben and Alex, it has been a bit lonely.  Rygh can't relate to this roller coaster I am on currently so I have leaned on The Lord which I can say has been awesome.  He gives constant reminders that things are going to be ok with HIM. 

We are very excited for Valentine's Day because our secret is finally going to be out!  Thank the good Lord! 

December 24th!
