Well we're sort of past the whirlwind

It's been a while since I have posted but a lot has happened. We had our baby girl Haddley Grace on July 17th at 2:07 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 22 inches long. On Sunday, July 26th, we blessed her in my parents ward in Vernal, Utah. That day was also Brexdon's 2nd birthday along with my little brother, Devin's mission homecoming. Then Brian and his parents went up to Rexburg to pack up all of our belongings there and I stayed in Vernal for a few days. On Tuesday, I met Brian and his parents in Price and we moved down to Redmesa, Colorado. Currently, we are living with Brian's parents. But we have found a house and we are working on getting financing for it. We should hopefully be able to move into our new home the beginning of September. I will be excited for when that day arrives. There is nothing like having your own place. I have definitely enjoyed living here and having all the help with Brexdon and Haddley. It has certainly helped reduce some of my stress. And Brexdon sure loves spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. Brian also started his new job. It was a rocky start but he is beginning to get the hang of it and it's not so bad anymore. He works longer hours than I prefer but he makes it home to have dinner with us and get Brexdon to bed so I can't complain too much. Life is a bit chaotic for us, but we are certainly blessed.

Guess what...I'm not perfect

As I lay here with terrible insomnia (hasn't happened this severely in a while), I decided to write my thoughts and frustrations out. As a parent, I dearly love my children. They are the light of my world. They are not easy nor do we have a picture perfect life, but I'm trying my best with what I have to work with. I guess I want to express that there is no ONE right way to parent. And I can go one step further and say I have to "parent" each one of my children in a different manner because they each respond differently. I'm not perfect at anything...especially parenting. No one except the Lord and my husband (usually) understands the trials I go through on a daily basis. Therefore, no one has the right (except the Lord) to judge how I'm doing something or even why. Like I said I am doing my best. Just because I do something you may not agree with doesn't mean it's wrong. You have NO right to tell me or anyone else that what I am doing isn't okay....

When everything Flips on you...

Today was well planned out. The girls had their weekly gymnastics, I would have an ultrasound, then my midwife appointment, then a chiropractor appointment...all that needed to happen in town scheduled for today...of course when plans are made, the world laughs in my face...mother nature laughs in my face. First off, the kiddos got sick and weren't feeling great (including Brex which meant he stayed home from school). So we didn't make it to gymnastics (seriously a bummer because the girls love it). Then it decided to snow and snow some more...of course it likes to snow on the days I plan to go to town. . . I didn't feel like it was a good idea to cancel three medical appointments so we were trying to figure out a way to still make it happen with all the kids home. Originally, we had planned to pack up and meet Brian in town. He would take a long lunch and spend time with the kids in the car (not the most exciting) and reduce spreading their sick germs. Luckily we receive...

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...
