News!

Well we have some news. Jarom and I found out that I am... Pregnant!! Yup that's right I am for sure...PREGNANT!!! Hurray, we're so excited!! The news came as a bit of a surprise, since we weren't officially "trying", but we've been wanting to have another baby anyway so it worked out great. I've been having morning sickness, throwing up, and being tired and hot lately, you know, all the fabulous early pregnancy stuff. Unfortunately, we've already had a little scare of possibly losing the baby. So we've been hoping and praying that things will work out okay for this pregnancy. The good news is that we've had wonderful health care and Jarom has been a great support through it all. I've had a blessing and feel that the baby will be fine. My due date is November 26th, so the baby and Kaleb will have close birthdays. We will know more how the baby is doing after the ultrasound on Monday, and will definitely keep you posted.

Kaleb is already 18 months old. He is getting so big and developing in many new ways. He's learned how the say ball, baby (although he always says babies), bath, book, (a lot of "B" words), this, that, and still says momma, dadda, daddy. His voice is so cute and we just love him so much and kiss his squishy cheeks as much as possible. He's obsessed with balls, and he'll point out balls everywhere we go. He thinks anything round is a ball, so he'll call oranges, apples, and other round objects balls also. It's pretty funny. He's still such a happy little guy. He'll laugh at the silliest things. He loves playing with his daddy. Jarom can make him laugh so hard. He also loves cuddling with his mommy. Thanks to our new job, and all the different toys at the day care, he's learned to ride a 4-wheeled bike, scribble with crayons, and has learned to interact with other kids easier. He also enjoys building towers with blocks and crawling up on as many things as possible. He's so much fun to have around and we feel so blessed to be his parents. Work is going good. It was a hard adjustment for Kaleb and I at first. Kaleb would get overstimulated easily, especially during our busiest and loudest times. He also had a hard time sharing Mommy with other kids, and used to cry each time I would leave for a minute to use the restroom. He's doing much better now, and barely misses me during bathroom breaks. It's been a bit hard on us both physically too. We've both been getting all kinds of sicknesses from the kids there. We've had cold after cold, and Kaleb just recently had pink eye. Now that we've been working there for awhile though we've adapted better, and Kaleb and I love playing there with all the other kids. There's also two other pregnant women that work there, so we like to chat about being pregnant and what not.


We want to wish you fabulous mothers out there a very Happy Belated Mother's day. I feel so blessed to be a mother, and am grateful for my mother, grandma, and other mothers in my life who have been good examples to me!
