Well I haven't done my workout yet, but as soon as the hubby gets back from buying some more beer, we are gonna do a quick workout TOGETHER!! Yay!! I love workout buddies!! Than we are gonna ruin the workout with a couple ice cold beers :) and making some red white and blue sugar cookies. Terrible I know but It's a holiday right!!!
Topic of the day: Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.
1. Snakes. This fear probably became a fear for me because we lived in the country during high school and during the spring and summer on my way home from school or work I would see at least one snake alive or dead on the road. Also the knowledge of the fact they can bite, and some can do some SERIOUS damage. Plus who likes slimy sneaky creatures just gross.
2. Tornadoes. I hate the sound of tornado sirens or seeing like funnel clouds they freak me out. I have a fear of them destroying things. Living in Nebraska there were tornadoes all the time, we had one take out a tree in our back yard, one took our the fence and barn where my sisters cow was, and my dad drove us right smack dab into the middle of one. Really freaking scary I seriously thought I was going to die.
3. Falling. Idk I feel like I'm pretty fearless and I will try just about anything. But I guess I am more scared of falling with nothing to catch me....more of the SMASHING into the ground part ya know lol. This one is probably just a built in one I think most people have it.

BodyRock for summer!!!
Well for more reasons than one Dustin and I need to start getting our selves in shape!! We have a couple goals in mind: 1- weight-loss, 2-tone up (swimsuit bodies), 3- get fit!!(German ruck march he wants us to do in July walk 100 miles in 4 days.)
A friend of mine showed me this site that posts new workout videos daily for free, so we are going to do their 30 days of may workout series! And Dustin is going to do PT at work too. Plus eat healthy, have active weekends, and drink only juice water and milk!!
We will blog often about our progress, and of course about Kyra too!! Who is sleeping in my arms as I type, and enjoys all our walks on the weekends, like the zoo this weekend, that was built in a valley, carrying/pushing a baby up steep hills is fun!! She slept through most of it tho, still a little too young but we enjoyed it!

squats: 31
box pushups: 28
triceps dips: 23
abs: 47

Kyra Lee Johannes; A Birth Story
As you all know my little angel has finally arrived, well she arrived 3 weeks ago today!! It was a long wait to meet her and ended up going 5 days over due. But it all worked out as my mom was here to help out after the birth, and lord knows we needed it!
It was Saturday March 24th when it all started. We had gone downtown to show mom the Market, and enjoy the Easter Market that was set up for the weekend. It was a beautiful day and we were really enjoying the sunshine and festivities!!! After walking around for about 1-2 hours we decided to head back to the house to relax. About an hour after we got home and ate lunch is when all the fun began.
The contractions started out really light and were easy to ignore, as I tried to take a nap. They progressively got stronger but didn't seem to be getting anymore frequent but we were on a doctors note to go into the hospital and get checked every 2 days since I was over due. So we went in and they put me on the monitor and saw that I was having pretty strong contractions every 5 mins or so. But they said they weren't the real thing and that I needed to go home and wait. This was really frustrating because I knew they were real.
So we went home for like 4 more hours and they only got worse and worse until I wasn't even able to sit down through them. But as we were worried about going back too soon and getting sent home again we sat down to watch Puss and Boots in hopes of distracting me for a while. But that was hopeless as each contraction hurt worse and worse. So we decided we would go walk out to the benches in the park, and if that didn't either speed them up or make them stop we didn't know what would. As we walked they sped up to 3 mins between each one and Dustin was having to hold me up from falling with the pain. We finally made it back to the house and decided that was close enough and painful enough, we are going to the hospital.
When we got there the same nurse was on duty, and was happy to see that I was in more pain, she said these were the real thing now. Even tho they were the same. I kept having contractions for about an hour before they checked my progress. And we had only dilated 1cm. So Dustin and I went on walks around the hospital in hopes of making the progress quicken. We did this for a couple hours and had only made another cm of progress. So the nurse suggested the hot tub and see how I felt after. So we went and sat in the tub but I had been in labor for 15 hours with no pain meds by this point, and it hurt and there was just no more energy left in my body :( So after a few mins in the tub I finally gave in and got an epidural, I just couldn't handle it any longer.
The Epidural wasn't painful like I expected but maybe that is because I had gone through so much labor I didn't really care anymore. But it was scary because the lady had to put it in between contractions that were now coming hard and fast. But once it was in I finally was able to rest a little. And my contractions would still be doing their job of progressing labor. But my Epidural did start to wear off and OMG was the pain intense and it took them a while to get the problem fixed, and when they did my entire leg was dead the rest of the time.
But after laboring for hours with it, the nurse said that I was fully dilated finally and could start pushing. I pushed for a little while before she said to stop while she talked to the Dr. Turns our part of the cervix was coming out or something because her head was too big to fit through. So we were told that the best option for Kyra and I was to get the emergency C-section. I was so scared but knew it would be the best choice. After this I don't remember a lot.
Just a rush of doctors and nurses getting me changed, Dustin changed, papers signed, more drugs administered, iv going, it was non-stop until they tied me to the operating table. Than I started to freak out. I can honestly say that is the scariest thing I have ever done. I could hear, and feel (not the pain) the whole thing and they had already cut me open before they even had let Dustin in. But once he was there everything was okay!!! He talked me through it.
Than was the moment......that first cry and I knew I was in love. I started bawling. 21 hours of labor and the only tears shed were for the birth of this little girl who I hadn't even seen yet. I knew that I could never love someone as much as I did in that second!!!
Kyra Lee Johannes was born at 11:36 am Sunday March 25th, 2012 in Weisbaden, Germany. Weighting 10lbs 12 oz and was 21.2 inches long.
