Thanksgiving baby.

Teuila(MEANS THE LIGHT) Alanaokekihawahine (means the awakening of the white kukui flower) Meleana(MY MOTHER IN LAWS NAME) Sibbett arrived on Thursday Nov.26.2009 9:47pm I went into active labor about 3:00pm and arrived at the hospital around 7pm. Baby was still in Breech position and so they told me i had to have c-section. All in all i think that my experience with csection was not bad I'm still recovering slowly but nothing too bad. Hospital stay was 3 days and then we came home. I'm so thankful for a husband who is so loving and supportive. He cooks, cleans, changes diapers, wakes up at every feeding to bring baby to me so i could breastfeed. He stays up to burp baby and change diaper, if baby needs a little soothing to sleep my husband stays up and rocks her to sleep. On top of all this, he still tends to our twins by cooking meals making sure they take their nap and plays with them. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I'm very lucky to have him.

BABY IS HERE!!!

NO BABY YET!!!

Tomorrow we go in to see if baby is head down (cross my fingers) and if she is then they'll induce me if not they'll try to do a version where they turn her and then induce me....please please please..........all my water weight and the extra pounds are just causing too much discomfort. So keep my prayers and fingers crossed and hope this little one cooperates.

Thanks to everyone for their c-section comments and support. I don't feel so scared getting a c-section now. Hopefully, things go well. But, if i don't blog about the version tomorrow, that means i'm having the baby. Okay, until next time wish me luck!!!!

C-section or not???

Okay so next week saturday is my due date and still no sign of any labor. Not to mention...baby is BREECH...and she is in a different position each time we get an ultrasound. Now, i really don't want to get a c-section but its looking more like this little one will not stay head down. Yesterday i went in for a VERSION which is where the doctor tries to turn baby head down from the outside of my stomach, well they go to do an ultrasound and baby was head down...so they cancelled my version and told me to go home. That was good news until this morning i had my ob doctors appointment and guess what??? Baby was back to sqaure one laying sidewards. Oh my!!!! this little one just loves to keep mommy, daddy and the doctors on our toes.

So how long does it take to recover from a c-section??? what should i prepare for if i do have a c-section. Is it hard to breast feed if you have a c-section. For those of you who have had one let me know your experience and what i should have a heads up on. Thanks a bunch!!!

Halloween 2009 was a Blast. We decided try not to spend too much on the costumes so malia wanted to be a fairy and Elize wanted to be a Butterfly. So, we got cheap wings from claires and their tutus and cheap makeup that lasted for 4 different parties. Truthfully, i think we're all worn out from halloween 2009. It was fun, but time for a new holiday. Hope everyone had a blast.

HALLOWEEN PHOTOS SOON TO BE POSTED....

Awesome summer in hawaii. Three weeks of nonstop driving from The westside to the northshore, but it was sure nice to see our friends, families and remember how much we miss living in paradise. It was a little hot but, we managed to cool down at the beach with family and friends. Sorry to some of the friends we were not able to meet up with, maybe next time we come down. Anyhow, I've been quite lazy with the whole Blogging and of course i have more pictures to post. Well, we miss all of our family and friends!!

4TH OF JULY

Some of the fire works sitting at the parade

Daddy with the gals One of the girls fav.

It was an awesome weekend. Pa'a was working so, we went and hung out with him for the weekend. We started off with parade, that happen to be right in front of pa'as work apartment. I was a bit disappointed that no one threw candy and this was almost a 2 hour parade COME ON NOW!! I hate to say it, and I'm not Bias but Its not like the parades in hawaii. Anyway, we went to a hawaiian gathering where family and friends gathered then we watched fireworks in Tumwater. It was awesome! Did i mention it was so hot!! Unbearable!! I guess im gonna melt in Hawaii. My sister came down to spend the weekend with us, and gosh it was fun!! 2 more days till we head to HAWAII!!!! YAY!!

SKATING WITH THE SIBBETTS!!

We decided to go Roller skating this past saturday instead of doing our usual stay at home, eat big meal, junk out and watch a movie on the big screen. Let me tell you, skating is not my thing, but I pulled it off with only 2 falls considering it was my first time. I also had to ask myself, WHY IS ICE SKATING AND ROLLER BLADING a lot easier for me??? I don't get it!!! ANyhow, the girls enjoyed it, Pa'a enjoyed it and so did everyone else. ENJOY THE PICTURES!! And a short video clip with no volume!!!

COUNTING DOWN!!

JULY is around the corner and of course I'm so excited to come home and visit. I miss my friends, family, nieces, nephews, hearing broken english all over the place, Kahuku sports, songfest, Pake cake, teriyaki burgers that we can buy in a big box, Lihing candy, THE BEACH!! and the list goes on and on and on....
So we've been trying to prepare for our 3 week trip to hawaii in july and man...I can't help but count down the days. Aside from a lot of money spent on buying clothes for the girls, since they've grown out of all their summer clothes we've also been working extra hours to make extra money for this trip since EVERYONE knows, hawaii ain't cheap!!! But, 12 more days and then we'll be leaving on that jet plane heading home to hawaii...YAY!!!!!!!!

Are u a CARROT, AN EGG, OR A CUP OF COFFEE?

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...

You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.

A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up; she was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.

Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked, ' Tell me what you see.'

'Carrots, eggs, and coffee,' she replied.

Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots.. She did and noted that they were soft. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.

Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, 'What does it mean, mother?'

Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

'Which are you?' she asked her daughter. 'When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength? Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?

Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.

Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

May we all be COFFEE!!!!!!! (EVEN IF YOUR MORMON ;) ) LOL.

My mother inlaw shared this wonderful story with me and I thought i was appropriate that I share with all of my fellow Bloggers. An inspiring story indeed!! Hope you enjoyed!! I would love to hear everyones feed back on this story if you get a chance to read!!! Good day!!

Fun in the Sun!!

I know this whole Blog is About these little girls, But I don't like to take pictures AND pa'a is always working. So, We've had a lot of sun and this time we really took advantage of it. The girls are planting strawberries this spring and hopefully they turn out. Then we got to go to the Lacey Fun Fair and the girls have been wanting to ride ponies and Lucky them, there were pony rides there and it was free. The also got to do realy fishing where they caught Talopia fish which we got to keep and then everything was free so the rides were off the hook and they had free books and all kinds of goodies for the children. FUN FUN FUN IN THE SUN SUN SUN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUBBY!!

Happy Birthday to my Dear Husband!!! I always dread Birthday and Holiday presents for him because.....He never likes to spend money even if he wants something. Unlike me, I rack up the bill when its my Birthday, anniversary etc. So this year I decided that he needed to splurge a little since he never spends more than 20 dollars on his gift. But with no surprise, he told me what he wanted and then....after seeing the price, he decided not to get it. I was like what? and then I was like huh? and then i went i bought myself a whole bunch of clothes....I know I know....Bad wife..But i did get him what he wanted before i bought myself some clothes.

Pa'a is a wonderful husband, father and friend. He always puts our needs before his and seems to help everyone and anyone on the streets or wherever. He works hard and provides for our family with all his heart. His testimony and love for the Gospel is one i adore the most. I love him very much and wanted to wish HIM a happy Birthday!!! I LOVE U BABE!!
