Hi Everyone!
I feel like I kind of fell of the face of the earth the last two weeks. Things have been so crazy! I'll do my best to update you all. I haven't had time to talk to most of you much, let alone hang out and I miss everyone! Well I have to say that I have some news I'm dying to tell but I'm trying to keep my mouth shut, which as most of you know is really hard for me! I'm such a big mouth -lol! I can't keep secrets! But onto my updates:
Addison- My sweet baby girl has been so sick! For about the past two weeks she has had the flu! It is so sad, she is throwing up and then she bawls after she does and it makes me cry, its so sad! She has had really bad diapers and no appetite. I finally took her to the doctor on Monday, which was a good idea, she gave me a pat on the back as a mom and said I was doing a good job of keeping her hydrating which I was really worried about. She did recommend not giving her juice but Gatorade instead which was a great idea because she loves the Gatorade. I have missed so much work in the past two works but I am so blessed because my job is so understanding and supportive about it. I think the worst is behind us and she is finally starting to feel better. Next, Baby Idol, thank you so much to everyone who voted! However, the first cut was made Thursday night and Addi was cut. I didn't realize how much they are doing it like American Idol, they are doing eliminations twice a week, which is a lot of voting; so while I'm sad that she isn't in it any more that would have just been too much voting. And I have to brag a little as a mom now because while we were at the doctor she said that Addison is really advanced for her age and really smart. She is giving kisses and waving bye-bye, she is just about as cute as ever!
My Hubby and I- Well, Kevin has had to work so much, he is such a trooper! Last week he had an off site sale at the fairgrounds and worked 72 hours in 5 days, and he just had his first day off yesterday. So I swear I didn't even remember what he looked like until yesterday! On the up side of working all those hours he has sold a ton of cars which is so exciting for us. We are finally finishing up our bankruptcy and have started to look for a place to rent, I am so glad to have this chapter of our life behind us. We are also trying to buy a car, since we don't own one that works, so hopefully we will get that done soon and then we can finally stand on our own two feet. We are planning our anniversary trip for next month to McCall and I am super excited. Things have been really stressful but I am trying to tell myself we are coming to an end to this chapter and can finally start a happier, less stressful one. So here's to hoping for a wonderful summer!
Other Events- Well last weekend my older brother and his wife were finally able to bless and be sealed to their son Tyson who is six months old. I am so happy for them, they have waited so long for Tyson and for these special events, much love to you all! My older sister Christi was in town with her four kids from Utah, it was so great to see them, it has been way to long and I miss them. I love you all and am working on planning a trip to come see you this summer. My little step-sister Payton also got baptized last weekend, congrats Payton! My niece Kaycee also just celebrated her birthday, sorry I missed it Kaycee I love you! By the way if you were a little lost on my count of brothers and sisters it is 4 half, 3 full, 6 step for a grand total of 13! With a wonderful 13 nieces and nephews and one on the way.
Ok well, I realize this is the longest post ever but I have one other little thing to share. So much for keeping my mouth shut... I'M PREGNANT! I think about six weeks along, but I go to the doctor on the 20th. I am really excited, a long with some other crazy emotions, but mostly excited. This is my third pregnancy in a row! Which is just crazy but I am really excited! The kids will be about 18 months apart which is the same as my little sister Becca and I, it was so great to be that close in age growing up so I am excited that Addi and her little sibling will have that. I am kind of feeling boy, but we'll see. I was really sick last week but this week has been good. I have also given my body strict instructions that this will be an easy pregnancy! There will be no pre-term labor at 14 weeks, no hospital visits, no weekly ultrasounds, no drama! I will admit I'm a little stressed and scared, as you can probably tell, we didn't plan on this, but I do believe in a divine plan for our lives, and while I didn't plan on this I do feel it is right. Well I'll leave you with that happy thought.
Happy Mothers Day to All!
Love,
Sara
