25 Weeks

How is it already 25 weeks? This pregnancy has gone by fast! (Ha, & that I'm grateful for!) I loved being pregnant with Mason, this one is kicking my trash! I could sleep 24/7! I've not been sick at all, but achy, heartburn & just so dang tired. I am excited to have a summer baby & be able to get outside here soon. I have been feeling so couped up in the house & so we can't wait to spend time outside! Names, names are hard this time! I'm hating everyone we hear, we still got a few months to come up with one! This baby moves so much! I didn't feel very many "flutters" at first but it went strait to hard movements that Nic could feel, it's crazy how different pregnancy can be!

Mason LOVES it! He will talk to the baby, he'll cover up the baby (my belly) with his blanket when we cuddle & tell me how the baby is cold and wants to share. He tried to tell me the baby wanted to play catch and threw a soft ball at my belly..Mase cracks us up! He loves to name the baby, so far he's called it "Clifford, Warm Fella, Brand New, Mason & Axle...axle is the name of a baby at daycare!)\
Mason will be an awesome brother! I'm so excited to see these 2 together! Wish I could fast forward time :)
Speaking of Mason, this kid is such a nerd! He will do whatever he can to get a laugh out of us.
Things my Mason does that I absolutely love about the kid:

• Always has to hold my hand when sitting on the couch, each of his little fingers in between my fingers!
• When I say Mase your so cute! His reply everytime without fail "No, I'm cool & awesome!"
• Request of songs that I'm not sure a 3 year old should know but loves to sing & dance to them!
• When he randomly says "Mom, I love you" or "Your the best mom ever" We have trained this kid well!
• Loves to help me cook dinner & treats
• His contagious laugh!
• The surprise pictures I find on my phone
• All the little things he does, kids are so smart! It's been amazing to see all the little things he picks up on & little things he can do, he's growing up so fast!

Whenever I get feeling down or something happens to turn my day around I love when I come across little quotes like this & I just look at my boys & I know I have all I need to make me happy & I'm the luckiest girl alive! I'm in a good place & nothing can change the things that I've gone through but I can't ever be brought back down! :)

Mase is so awesome with Baby Paityn! He loves to hold her hand, try to feed her (crackers) sings to her when she cries, tries to wrap her up in her blanket, I LOVE it! I hope he's that awesome with our baby! 

I Love this sweet boy & he's my whole world! I'm so excited to have another baby but scared at the same time, i love all the fun Mase & I have and he's definently a momma's boy!

He loves to spend time with Dad lately too! Sleeps at Aggie Games & Loves to go bowling & play catch with dad!

Mason started Sunbeams this year which is so crazy to me! When did he grow up?! He's changed so much in the past couple months!

This Man right here I just want to thank for everything he has done for Me & Mason! He's Amazing & has been there for me through thick & thin! This past year has had it's struggles & I know I couldn't have gone through it without him! I'm in the best place I've ever been & every day we grow stronger & stronger and there is not one thing I would change about where we've been because it's shown me what matters in life & I have the most amazing husband & Heavenly Father who will always be by my side & that is all I  need to get through this crazy life! I thank him for being my better half & I hope Mason will be the man his dad is one day!

another BoY!!

We are so excited to announce we're having another BOY!!
After all our problems with getting pregnant this has been a very exciting thing for us! Mason was a surprise & to want this pregnancy so bad & get negative test after negative was very frustrating & now to see we've only got a few months to go is crazy!
This pregnancy has been 100% different then Mason's so I was a little surprised to hear "boy" but we are so excited! My first thought was this is perfect, I won't have to buy any clothes, but I was wrong! I got them all pulled out & everything is the wrong season! This baby is due in July so I'm already catching up on shopping & I can't complain too much about that! :) I watch the way Mason is with Jordan's baby Paityn & he is going to be the best big brother! I just wish it were July already! This pregnancy is kicking my butt! I have never been so tired & exhausted in my life! It'll be here before we know it :)

If you look close, you can see our baby boy's face, his hand is on his for head, but look at his chin, he's got the "Hyer Chin" we compared pics to Mason's ultra sound & he didn't have it & still doesnt, i think this baby may look even more like Nic! :)

Mason's Birthday & Baby Paityn



Birthday Boy!! We had such a fun day celebrating with Mason! He had lots of food, cake, balloons, gifts & family & friends, there's alot of people who love you Mason! Thank you to everyone who made his birthday special! He loved all his gifts!!



How do we have a 3 year old?! It's gone by so fast! We LOVE this kid! He cracks us up & loves to get a laugh of anyone! He's the sweetest boy too!

We had the Lovelands over & Mase & Cadance had a blast in the snow!!

The only thing this kid requested for his birthday was a batman cake! So he got one :)

Mase got a new bed for his birthday, and he still chooses to crash in ours!

All worn out from his fun/busy birthday!

My brother had a baby girl due January 9th, Shelby & I were working on friday & joking that if she keeps having contractions like she was her & Mason would be sharing a birthday Saturday!
We got a call at 11:00 pm friday & they were up to the hospital! She dialated to a 4 by 12:30 & by 3:30 they had a BEAUTIFUL baby girl! THey got to come home the next day, talk about one EASY & fast delivery! How would it be?!

SHe seriously is the most beautiful baby & so pretty! She has the most hair i've ever seen a baby with! It's so thick & long!

Decisions!

Finally made a decision!! I decided to not get the second shot, and I actually feel totally relieved so it must be the right thing! (I'm hoping anyway)
I got another call from Pharmacy Solutions saying they need to send the shot out & can't without getting paid first & if they didn't send it now it would be cancelled. So I went up to Dr. Noorda's office & chatted with him. This is definently the right thing to be stopping it. They are putting me on http://www.loloestrin.com/index.jsp  (norethindrone acetate & ethinyl estradiol tablets) for 3 months to wind me down off the Lupron. Which, I didn't know I was going to have to do to begin with, so that would have been three more months of not trying to get pregnant & I totally hadn't planned on it. So I hope the next 3 months fly by! But we'll see. I hope I start getting rid of some of these symptoms soon cause i'm going crazy & don't feel like myself!
Seriously, I feel so relieved. I've been stressing myself out for a good 2/3 weeks on not doing it then talking myelf back into it. So I KNOW this is the right thing. Now just got to get through this & enjoy my life again.

Summertime is here!

We LOVE summertime in the Hyer home! We try to get out as much as possible & when we can't, we've got some awesome friends & family, oh & cute nieces to keep us entertained :)

(STOLE THIS FROM CHELSIE...SORRY but it was SOO cute!)

haha this is awesome cause they have the same faces, outifts & feet crossed!

LOVES his grandpa!

& his uncle Jordan

Rant on doing Lupron!

Here's a rant on my Lupron Shot I've been doing; I've been trying to bottle up all the emotions about it & things keep happening so I can't get the second shot & so I just need to VENT it out! I started the shot in April to shrink my fibroid & stop the endometreosis from spreding, and I am totally hating it! The symptoms at first weren't too bad, but I am definently getting the worse symptoms!
Here's a few:
Hot flashes
Cold sweats at night
No sleep (i wake up from 3-5 every night now!)
My body just aches & aches! Especailly my joints!
My teeth are now hurting like crazy
Emotional
Headaches
Anxious
Loosing weight cause of stress
Bruises like crazy...I look like I've been beat up!
Things I have to do while going through the process:
Take hormone pills
Take calicum pills 4 times a day (cause my bones at 10% weaker from the lupron)
Take fish oil & other vitamins
Take lortab
Take ambien to help sleep
At least twice a month go in for checkups
I quit the hormones pills cause they were making me crazy! But it is not good to be taking all that stuff! I'm sick of it!
So with that said, my mind keeps playing games with me! I will go one day and say "in August only 3 more months & we can't start trying to have a kid again!" It makes me excited, then next minute I think how can this go any longer? How much worse will the sympotoms get? I'm still hurting & am I wasting time doing it and is it even helping?! The way this works is they send out my first shot, I get it & when the next one is due they send the next. Well I missed the call to get it sent & when I called back they had cancelled it. So I had to get a new perscripstion for it. They call me today & say there ready to send it out which is great! She says we need you to pay you portion of the cost today. When I set all this up I was responsible for 30% of the cost the rest insurance cover. So for the shots it $582.00, well that's what I thought anyway. That's per shot. I don't have money to pay over $1100 for a shot right now! My car needs a new transmission, we just signed papers to finsish our basement so I really don't feel like I can put out the extra money right now, we could borrow it but I don't feel right about it because my car should be fixed first so my in laws can have there car back. The other problem is if I wait till I get paid again it'll be past the due date of my shot & they won't let you do it any later than your supposed to get it. Where do I go from here?
I know things will work out the way there supposed to but this is getting hard. We've been trying for a year to get pregnant. It should not be this hard. It's supposed to be easy right? It was with Mason. We weren't wanting a baby at that point & he was a suprise. Nic told me that Mason was obiously ment to be especially if we can't get pregnant. Which I know is true, it's just starting to get really frustrating.
With all that said, I'm waiting for the call back today from my Dr. to see where to go from here. I think I wanna be done with the shot, I don't want the second one. Too much has happened with my back and forward on wanting to do it that everytime I decide to stay on it, something happens to make it hard to get the shot. Is it a sign or what? This is a hard decision!
End of rant....I couldn't keep it in any longer!

Family Pictures

We finally got some family pictures done! It rained all day & was freezing so I was worried how the weather was going to be but it ended up being perfect! Mason was being such a cheeseball! It was so fun! They look great Carlie! We LOVE them!
