Our "Walk to 40 Weeks"

Hmmm... can you guess what that means?






You guessed it! Baby #3 is in the proverbial "oven" - due to arrive in mid-February. The girls are excited to have a baby brother or sister and I am excited to say that this will be my last pregnancy! Don't get me wrong, I love babies, and I even love parts of being pregnant, but after going through the 1st tri-mester yuckies once again, I will be glad when my body is once again my own. Besides anticipating the arrival of a new little bundle, one of my favorite parts of being pregnant has been documenting the pregnancy in photos.

I have wanted to do the Walk to 40 Weeks idea ever since I saw it on pacingthepanicroom.blogspot.com (which has since become a private blog, but I wanted to give credit anyway), so when my friend Kelly asked if she could do maternity pictures for me this time, I jumped at the opportunity. Not only is she a great photographer who can work magic with photoshop, she also lives right around the corner from me, making the "walk to 40 weeks" a perfect fit!

For week 12, we started at her house, and every month or so, the walk from her house to mine will continue, ending with a brand new baby in front of our house sometime in February. So... if you live on Kelsey Loop, Julie, or June Drive in Big Meadow, you may just see your house in the background one of these days (or... you may spot us out front doing our little photoshoot. If that happens, please don't be alarmed.)

So, without further adieu, here is the first in our final maternity series here on the blog:

I love the idea. I will be watching from my end. Preggo photography has gotten so inventive. Glad to hear you cleared the yuckies.

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...
