I'm so ready for spring

I have spent the last half hour organizing some picture folders and I found a shot that I have to post here. It made me laugh. First, doesn't Nathan have the greatest look on his face? Second, doesn't it look so nice and warm? Yup...I need spring. So break out the sunscreen and lets have a pool party or bbq. I am pretty sure this has been the longest winter ever. Seriously! Spring needs to get here in a quick hurry because I need me some sun.


It has been a little crazy around here the past few weeks. That is probably adding to my longing for warmer days. I want to move forward with this year. The month started pretty well with Jakes family making a quick trip out to Elko. They came to help us with a few yard projects. Our yard needed some major cleaning and pruning so Jakes parents and Jon & Tami came out to help. In just one morning all of the trees were pruned (meaning 9 in the backyard and 3 in front) and we took down 2 yucky pine trees that were making a mess. We now have a giant wood pile in our side yard that needs to be taken to the dump. Anyone have a truck they want to lend us for an afternoon? :) We were very thankful for their help and we are excited for the coming summer so we can make our yard a place we enjoy together as a family.






Pretty much the rest of the month I spent in Utah. I ended up needing to have surgery to help me carry the baby. I have been on bedrest but I am now up and around being very cautious. This surgery should help me carry the baby to 36 weeks. As long as I am careful and don't have any other complications I should be able to stay in Elko I will just need to take it easy.

That was pretty much the whole month for us.

So...we have a little news :)

I thought we would let people know that we are expecting again. Obviously we are a little nervous this time around. Mostly we are just thankful and excited. So far this pregnancy has been a lot easier than my last two. I haven't been sick very much. Mostly I hate food but I can deal with that.

There are extra precautions being taken in hopes of preventing a repeat of our last experience. I have made a trip to Utah for some extra tests and I will probably be spending a good portion of my pregnancy making these kind of trips. It will all be worth it.

I'm not going to lie. I am a bit of a crazy b....well lets just say I am not very pleasant when I am pregnant. This time around has been no different... unfortunately. I may be a little better since I am not constantly living next to the toilet but still I have a constant glare on my face. From May 2010 to Sept 2011 I will have been pregnant all but 7 weeks. Jake deserves a medal of honor for putting up with me and all of my craziness. To all of our friends, if you see him give him a little pat on the back. He deserves it:)

At this point Nate just doesn't get the baby thing. Thankfully we have a little time to let him know that I will not always be pregnant and the baby wont always be in my tummy.

I am 15 weeks today. Baby is due Sept 2. That would be 4 days after Nates birthday. I am hoping we don't have a double birthday. We will see how things go.
