A note from Mom...

Dear Baby,

Your Daddy has been doing an excellent job of writing our weekly updates for the pictures we take, but I wanted to take a moment to share some of my thoughts as well. I'm excited to say that you are nearly 2/3 done with your time in my tummy! (That's about 66% for those of you who have noticed my fondness to percentages lately.) Despite all the changes, and yes, sometimes discomforts that pregnancy brings, I really do enjoy it for the most part. Right now, it's about 3am and I'm up because you are up. You usually decide to be the most active sometime in the middle of the night, which can make it hard to get a good nights sleep, but is also a great time for me to spend some quality time with you and the Lord. One of my favorite things to do right now is to get up and read my devotions and then just stare at my tummy as you toss and turn in there. I'm still in awe that another life has been created and will soon be born into our family. We are getting excited to meet you as we get closer and closer to your due date, and I just wanted to tell you how much we all love you already! Your big sister Jenica likes to tell people you are in her tummy, which I think is adorable, and although I don't think she fully understands the concept of you being born and coming to live with us, she is still really excited and would probably wear her big sister t-shirt every day if we would let her!


Keep cookin' little one and we'll see you in a few short months! Love, Mommy

Sounds like your recliners are earning their keep! Its going to be great to see Jenica "getting it" and becoming the best big sister. I wonder if BB#2 will also have a lot of hair. Double hugs :)

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...
