22 Weeks

I see why they call the second trimester the "honeymoon" stage of pregnancy. I feel great. I'm not too big to do my regular activities, and nothing major really changes from week to week....which makes it hard to find stuff to right about in our little baby blog. For those of you who are interested, little BB is probably up to almost a pound now and is about the size of a spaghetti squash. Funny how each week they seem to equate the size of our child to some sort of fruit or vegetable. By now, tooth buds are forming under the gums - although hopefully they won't actually appear until 4 months or so after she's born. I did read, however, that one in 2000 infants are actually born with teeth. Ouch! I imagine that would make breast feeding a bit more uncomfortable. Hey, for those of you who didn't know - you can leave comments here on this site if you like. Let's me know that all this journaling is being read (and hopefully appreciated) by friends and family.

You are looking beautiful, Shay! I think it is cool that you are pregnant when the fashion industry has so much on the market that can be worn "before & after" the baby. Rob, I'm not so sure your outfit. It will definitely look better when there is a baby included!

Your blog is being read and much appreciated! Thank you for all the time and effort you have put into sharing with us! Can a blog site be downloaded and burned to disk to save for Baby B when she grows up?

Shay Shay Le Femme,
Indeed, you look radiant and happy! I remember those times, it was only a year ago, and although I don't feel as radiant, I am just as happy, no, happier! You're life will be much more wonderfully complicated.:) Hey, I haven't seen any indication of what sex your baby will be; you must be waiting to find out. How exciting! I could never live in suspense like that if I had the option. Anyway, I like your blogging! Take care.

Anniversary of my Dad's diagnosis

Anniversaries help us to remember and acknowledge things in the past. They might not always be happy memories, but I do believe that remembering and reflecting is important. It was a year ago this Memorial Day that I found out my dad had cancer. Three weeks later he was gone.  These pictures were all taken about 2 years ago. We had no idea then that these would be the last memories with Grandpa.  I’ve wanted to write about his passing for some time now, but I just wasn’t ready until now.  His death has been hard for me to process in a lot of ways. I know death is never easy, and cancer can be a horrible way to die, so I don’t fault my dad for his decision. What I do wish in hindsight is that it wasn’t illegal in Idaho to end your own life, in cases of terminal illness. That’s the choice my dad made, rather abruptly in my opinion and like all grieving children I would have given anything to have more time with him. But I think he was afraid. I think he was afraid that he w...

Day Care

Jenica is going to daycare for the first time this afternoon. I think I'm having a much harder time with it than she will. The lady that will be watching her one day a week also watches my friend Brandi's son, so Jenica will get to play with Judah while she's there. There are also a few other kids that come on Thursday afternoons so I'm sure she will have lots of fun. I know I can't have the best of both worlds (stay at home mom and career woman), it's just hard to have to leave my baby girl with someone who doesn't love her like I do. It's times like these when I wish I didn't live so far away from my family, so Jenica could just spend an afternoon with her Grammy or her cousin Kayla instead of having to go to a strangers house. Rob and I have weighed the pro's and con's and feel like a little time with other kids will actually be good for Jenica right now and will allow me to focus on work with out worrying about what Jenica could be gettin...
