Long waited for Update

Well alot has happened since I last blogged. On Friday, July 26th our sweet son Brexdon McCoy was born. We went in for a doctors appointment that morning. Everything appeared to be progressing smoothly. He was head down and ready to enter the world. So our doctor sent us to the hospital to have him. Our doctor arrived a few hours later to break my water but found that Brexdon had completely flipped to that he was no longer head down. They then tried to flip him around but he would not budge. He sure is stubborn like his parents. So they prepared me for an emergency C section. It was all kind of a daze for me that day. Luckily, Brian did well to be by my side and help care for our new bundle. Brexdon was born at 2:44 pm weighing 7 lbs 2 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. Now Brexdon is 3 1/2 months old and the greatest joy of our lives. He has been growing and developing so well. He smiles all and time and is starting to grab things. He is definitely a Momma's boy. He doesn't let me get much done unless he is sleeping. haha. But I love him so much. He is now sleeping 6-8 hours a night which is wonderful for me. I am starting to catch up on my sleep which is much needed.

Brian got put in as 2nd counselor of the bishopric just a few days after bring Brexdon home. haha. It has been an interesting challenge but we have been so blessed for it. Brian does a great job. And we have gotten to know the members of the ward much better. It has been great.

This upcoming semester will be Brian's last one and he will graduate in April. It is exciting and a bit nerve racking for him as well. Also I got accepted into the Nursing program which is so exciting. I am glad I got in but it is going to be alot of work. The next few years are  going to be hectic. And I am going to have to learn to be a good mom and a good student. Definitely will be a task but it will be so worth it in the end.

Well that is the excitement for our lives for the past 4 months.

Family is everything.

As I sit here thinking, my heart is full. I have the same routine every night before I go to bed...I clean my face, brush my teeth, say my prayers, and check on each one of my children. Seeing their sweet, sleeping faces just melts my heart. I think about each of their personalities. I wonder what goes through their minds and what they may be dreaming about. I come to an understanding with myself that I have an amazing and blessed life. My family is my everything. My life wouldn't be worth much without them. I am truly grateful for what I have and the role I am playing in the grand scheme of things. I hope I can continue to learn and become better each day. I know my family is constantly teaching me.

Thoughts of the future

Life can be extremely scary especially when you do not know what to expect. I am 17 weeks pregnant and I will graduate from the nursing program in 9 weeks. After that, I am expected to the take the NCLEX to get my RN license. So much change is ahead of us. Currently, Brian is applying to multiple jobs to see where we may end up. We will most likely be moving in May. But we do not know where yet. I think that is probably the scariest thing of all. I am going to have to find a new OB and hospital to have this baby. The tension and worry is just starting to build up for me and I am not sure how to handle it, but rather just go through life one day at a time. Something will come up and we will know what we are doing at some point. All I can say is that I have great faith in the Lord. He gets me through each day and calms my anxiety. He gives me the reassurence I need to carry on. We have been so greatly blessed and I notice it often. I am also blessed to have a wonderful, righteous husband...

Terrified for the Future

Recently, I've learned about some issues our country is facing. But more specifically that it is happening where we live and within our school district. I am terrified for my children.  I'm terrified for the curriculum that is trying to be forced upon them. If you're not sure what I am talking about, look up CRT (critical race theory). Here is an article that has good info on it: https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/critical-race-theory-fight/ Our school district has been using non-threatening words like "diversity", "equity", and "inclusion ". All of those seem good. But don't let that fool you. If our school district chooses to add this to the curriculum, I will remove my kids from the district and home school them or find an alternative option. This is not okay. Telling my young children that just love everyone and want to include everyone that they are racist is NOT OKAY.  Please parents, be aware of what is happening where you live. Fight to...
