update

haven't written in awhile thought i would update everyone..lets see so as of july 29 i am now out of the navy..so coming up to almost a month..crazy i know. i started school on august 11, so i am on my second week, it's going pretty good, learning alot!! found out that if i take more than 2 weeks off after i have the baby, instead of being done with school in june, i wouldn't be done until august, and would graduate in october. baby #2 is doing good so far, am 12 wks feeling pretty good, haven't had too much all day sickness, only get if the baby doesn't agree with what i have eaten..so far it's hamburgers, pizza (even homemade) certain sandwichs...umm mixing certain things. i go back in to the ob in september around 15 weeks, and hopefully we will find out what we are having sometime in october (hoping for a girl this time, but if we get another boy we will be happy to as long as the little one gets here safe and sound and healthy) dustin will be home sometime this week he is currently in virgina doing some training, they had an earthquake there today, but he is fine, he says he didn't really feel it. jaxson is growing like a weed, he is 17 months now, and getting big, he is now climbing up on the couch (yikes), now says thank you. ummm that's all that i can think of, will update again after jaxson's 18 month apointment!!

Jaxson 15/16 month update

okay so i have been bad on the updates for him..so i am squeezing two into one..so here you go.

stats
weight 24lbs 2 oz
height 29 inches

developements: now waves bye bye, figured out how to climb up onto the couch, knows how to open doors,(now have to keep the front door locked). pushes things, will throw balls and try and play catch with you, loves to be chase, is learning how to run now.

words: uh oh, go, bah (bye bye), no(his favorite), yah, momma, dada,(not to often on those), balbs like crazy and trying to talk.

food: he likes anything you put on his plate, mac and cheese, pears, peaches, mixed fruit, watermelon(his favorite), meat, and kind of pasta, mash potatoes, green beans, carrots, corn, peas(okay), milk(he could drink all day if you let him) he is doing good from a sippy cup now just have to work on a regular cup, still getting the whole eat with a spoon.

naps: usually late morning nap around 1030 or 11 and sleeps 45mins to 2 hrs, if it's long than he won't go down for a late afternoon nap, sometimes he will, goes to bed early and will wake up once in the middle of the night sometimes, just soothe him back to sleep, than wakes up around 5 and give him some milk and he will sleep until 8.

he is such a sweet boy, he knows how to give kisses and blow kisses, he loves patty cake, itsy bitsy spider, loves to dance and hear mom sing and read his books, sometimes i catch him in his room when its really quiet and i will go and look and he is sitting on his floor reading..hopefully he will be a book worm like his mom. that's about it for updates, i have pictures i took from when we went to the zoo will have to post them, other news, i am now out of the navy and getting ready to head back to school on aug 11th, baby l is doing good, due date is march 4, 2012, so that makes me 8 wks, have my first offical ob apt on aug 1, so far so good..other than that we are doing good as a family, dustin will be heading to virginia for 27 days on sunday for some training, so we will miss him, but can't wait for him to get back home.

couldn't have asked for anything more..

my heart is over following right now..maybe the hormones who knows..but today i was watching jaxson play and such emotion came over me for this little boy. he is the sweetest, loveable, happy, and giggly little boy. and i fall in love with him more more every day, i am beyond greatful that he choose me as his mom and that i get the wonderful oportunity to teach him to be the best person he can be, and to get another opportunity to bring another child in to this world is so amazing. i love being a mom, it is by far the best thing i have done with my life, i couldn't ask for anything more. to look at jaxson every day and to see that sweet smile and hear his giggle, and get kisses and have him come up and snuggle with me, is the best gift anyone could ever give me. now i understand why my mom had 7 kids. there is so much joy that comes from it. i just love it so very much, and i hope pray that jaxson knows every day how much i love him, and that the next little guy/girl will know the same thing.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

So technically tomorrow is my parents anniversary, but i decided to write this a day early. But these two kids have been married for 40 yrs...can you believe..well if you know anything about these two than the answer is yes. i could have not asked for a better mom and dad than these two. they are amazing and i love them so very much. they have always supported me in every decision that i have made in my life, whether they agreed or not, but they have always stood by me and encouraged me to do my best and to work hard and no matter what if you set a goal and work at it, you will get there. i can remember many family vacations during the summer, whether it was going camping to get away from the arizona heat, going to san diego and to the beach and to my very first padres game (and professional baseball game), to going to south dakota, and mall of america, and nebraska, and to galvatson island..so many memories. every school function that i have had, or award ceremony one of them was always there cheering me or my brothers and sisters on. from high school graduation, seminary graduation, young women excellence award, baptisms, blessings, college graduation. my parents..are just its hard to come up with words to describe how much i love them and how truly wonderful they are. they have such strong testimonies of the gospel and are so strong. i remember numerous times when we lived in missouri, my mom would get up at 430 in the morning every friday and drive two hours to meet with my aunt annie and go to the temple, without fail..there were a couple times that i remember she was unable either due to the weather or she was sick..and to this day she and my dad drive to mesa and go to the temple. they are both dedicated in their callings at church. i have never once heard them fight, or whine or gripe or complain about anything. they have always put their family and the gospel first and have such a strong marriage..and i hope that my marriage will be as strong as theirs. i love you both so very much and are greatful to have you as my parents and that jaxson..and baby l will get to know such awsome and strong grandparents. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!! Love you!!

it's official

so i got my message from the navy i will be getting out july 29...excited and scared, but i decided that even though i am pregnant i am going back to school. it just something i need to acomplish for myself. and i know i am not the only pregnant woman who has gone to school, i know i can do this!! :)

pregency update

so i thought i would update everyone on what is happening with baby L2, well on friday i went to the er, due to cramping and spotting i was worried because i didn't experience that with jaxson. they did urine, and drew blood, and did an ultrasound, i am 5 wks, tomorrow i will be 6, due feb 19, 2012. they couldn't see anything in the uterus, cause its too early, and i have a cyst on my left ovary(already knew that) but they saw something else and are worried that the pregency maybe ectopic. so i got to the er at 1000 am, didn't leave until almost 1100 pm (yes people thats 12 hrs of waiting around). well the ob's came down they did a pelvic exam (that was done twice), but the time the obs came down i wasn't bleeding anymore, and they said that i had a cyst, told them i was diagonised with a cyst on my left ovary and fibroids after i had jaxson, but they didn't seem worried that i was ectopic or that i was miscarring, but i have to go in later tonight to get blood drawn to see if my hormone levels are rising, if they are thats a good thing, if not than more than likely this pregency is ectopic and will more than likely result in a miscarriage. but i am keeping my fingers crossed and praying that everything will be fine with this baby and that he/she will grow nice and healthy for the next 8 months and that i won't have as much complications as i did with jaxson. i do have this feeling that whatever happens it will all work out in the end, just keep us in your prayers! :)
