From A - Z in the last months . . .

Sorry I've dropped out of the world for a little while but I am trying to come back onto the swing of things. Here's a quick update of the last six months and a ton of pictures. By the way I am going to go private on my blog so send me your email.

October
  • Tavis was a skunk for Halloween!
November
  • We found out we were expecting!!!!!
  • It was my birthday I'm 27
  • We had a wonderful Thanksgiving (All my family came up from CA and we had so much fun!
  • Brad went away for a while and we all miss him and pray for his safety. (A very tough situation and very scary)
  • Tavis was moved to a big boy bed and doing awesome!
December
  • Tavis got a 3rd degree burn but all it well it was just a little scary
  • Christmas!
  • We were going to Ca for Christmas then as we were walking out the door bad things happened and we went to the hospital to see if we were still going to hav a baby and we are. Everything looked okay but we needed to be very careful so NO CA. TRIP :(
  • A week later Alex was leaving on his mission and we needed to be there so I called the Doc and he said okay and we took off that day!
  • Thank goodness we went because my mom got into a car accident and I needed to be there to help!
  • We had a blast in ca and Tavis was loving it!
  • I Had finals and passed with an A wow Go Jessica

January
  • I started another semester of school
  • I became the Chamber of Commerce Treasurer
  • We had a good ultra sound and things with the baby still looked good
  • I was released from Young Women's and was not happy about it!!

February

  • We are Having a GIRL!! and we are so exited!
  • I am not doing good with my my school class but I am plugging away
  • My mom decided to have surgery on her neck from the accident it's a big surgery.
  • The chamber is good we are revamping the whole program and it's going to be great!
  • I'm gaining weight and feeling it!
  • We are working hard to get more work as the economy is struggling
  • I started potty training Tavis and he is doing awesome! A little bit at a time.
March

  • Nathan's Birthday and it was nice. Simply but nice.
  • I am 6 months pregnant and loving every minute of it!
  • I have another doc's appt. on the 24th
  • My mom is having surgery today the 23rd AHHHHH
  • Shawn will go and see her and help her as I am fragile.
  • We listed our house for sale! Scary.

That's it. Although as I was thinking about it all it's seemed like I was so busy but it doesn't look that way on paper. Sad. I thought I had an excuse for being lazy with the blog. Sorry about that.

Quick tavis update. He is such a chatter bug and loves his dad more than anything! I loves to go potty and throws himself a wahoo after he is done. He notices every baby now and hates the nursery, and says no to everything. It's so awesome! He's 20 months now at the end of march and I hate that time goes so fast!

With the new baby (her name is a surpise) we are so lucky to have Carter's Dr. again. We love him and appreciate all his patience and guenine care for us. He and his faily hav become great family friends of ours and we are sooo lucky!

I am going private with my blog next week so send your email! Thanks for caring everyone and I will try to update at least once a month.
Lova you all

Harmony said...

whatever, you have been busy. It makes complete sense to me now to see why you've gone missing. school, family stuff, pregnancy, being a mom, chamber of commerce, trips, etc.etc. You're amazing with how much you take on.

WOOHOO! I'M SO EXCITED FOR BABY GIRL! thats so great Jess. I hope we can actually talk sometime. I love talking to you. I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. and I've wondered about Brad. I hope it all works out for good.

I've thought of going private many times too, but my fear is that people wouldn't bother to look if they actually had to login! i hope i'm wrong. i'll probably do it sometime.

Love you!!

Yeah!! You're back!! I LOVED the update. I didn't even know you were prego!..And A GIRL!! YEAH!!!!!!! They are SOOOOO much fun! I can't even say how stinkin' excited I am for you! You look fantasic!! I'm so glad and so jelous that you got to go to Cali. What happened to Brad?? Is there anything I can do to help? You know you can call me anytime! My number is on my cake website. I'm so sorry about Vee-Ann's get together. My life has been so upside down lately and I just went when I was told to and didn't even have the brainpower to think of anyone else that might not have known about it. She sent out a thread on Facebook. She totally didn't know that you were in Utah. She didn't even know that Chrisdy was in Utah either. You will totally have to come next time. Hopefully we will have more people there...especially you! BTW-I think we are doing it at my house next time so you will DEFIANTLY be notified.

Love you girlie. I have had a hard time blogging too. Life is crazy yet we have to journal and be social too?!?! I am so happy for you, I am grateful you have such a wonderful Dr who will do all he can to keep that girl cooking! I didn't know about your Mom's accident. Please give her my love, I will tell my Mom too. Your whole family is in my prayers. Keep your head up, you are the strongest girl I know.
