Good days...

I finally have a job! I know it has been forever since I posted anything but I know all I would have did is complain that I didn't have a job so I decided to wait until I had something positive to post. I was offered a job with Lincare. It's a company that does in home respiratory supplies. I am not sure what my exact job duties will be but I am a service representative. I am just happy and relieved to have finally found a job. My next task is daycare and I am kind of pushing that off to David. David also found a job working at the state mill. The state mill makes flour in GF. We were both offered a job on the same day, so that makes today a good day.

Jacob went out on a boat for the first time on July 6th and he loved it. He really enjoyed the live well and eating an entire package of cookies. He looked so cute in his life jacket and sunglasses. He thought he was one cool dude. That boat trip made for a very good day.

I turned 24 like 3 days ago. It wasn't the most exciting birthday but it wasn't the worst. I think I will call that a good day too.

David, Jacob, and I took a road trip out to New England, ND to visit David's grandparents on the 9th and 10th. We were only able to spend one night but it was nice to see them and visit with them. David's grandpa loves to talk and his grandma loves to feed people. They are some of the cutest old people I have ever met. I had a really good time there and it made for a very good day.

Good days are like getting a bowl of ice cream with extra sprinkles on top!...

Brody is a cutie!!!

Sweet home Minnesota... Yeah, Jacob and I are back at my parent's place. I have enjoyed seeing everyone but I am ready to get settled back in Grand Forks. David will be coming up with all our stuff later this month. When he gets to GF Jake and I will drive there too.
I need to find another job in GF and some daycare. David and I are hoping to get the house fixed up so we can sell it some time this year. I am thinking we will have a very busy summer and fall.
21 weeks and counting!!! We had an ultrasound last week and found out what we were having but only a select few people know and they better keep their mouths shut. The baby looked cute in the ultrasound pics. We can already tell it has wide feet with long toes. It also looks like it has long fingers. This is all the babies we are having for a long time!... Well, that's my plan anyways.
My sister finally gave me a nephew! I am finally an auntie! His name is Brody Tyler. He is very cute! I love his nose and I just want to eat it all up! I just want to spoil him all up!

RSV and a Power Wheels.

This last week has been so stressful! We took Jacob to the ER on Monday for high fever. He had a fever of 105.9. They did a chest x-ray and a UA, both came back normal. They got his fever down and told us to see his primary on Tuesday. We got to his primary on Tuesday and his fever was again 105 and his oxygen saturation's were in the 80's, so we went back to the ER. They did another chest xray and drugged him up. They decided to admit him because of his fevers and low oxygen sats. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday night in the hospital. He was put on oxygen Tuesday night but came off it Wednesday morning. They diagnosed him with RSV and a secondary bacterial infection. We got to come home Thursday. Daddy couldn't take the IV's and catheterizing very well so he promised Jacob Toys R Us. We left Toys R Us yesterday with an expensive power wheels. Jacob is on medicines but he is doing a lot better. It was a scary couple days but everything turned out OK in the end.

The worst feeling in the world is seeing your child sick and not being able to make it all better.

Pneumonia can't stop him!

It's been a month since I last posted so I am sure there has been something that has happened. I did get a job. I am working at a dialysis center.... It's a job.

David and I went to the battalion ball a couple weeks ago. It was nice to be able to get all dressed up and see David all dressed up in his class A's. The ceremony was nice. I am going to blame it on pregnancy hormones but I cried when they showed the slide show of all the soldiers killed in Iraq.

Jacob has pneumonia and probably pink eye. We spent last Thursday night in the ER. We arrived around 8 pm and left after 2 am. The ER was packed! I am just very relieved Jacob wasn't admitted. He was diagnosed with pneumonia in the right middle lobe. Today when he woke up his eyes were crusted shut and they did have a child with pink eye in his daycare so I am sure he has that too. He has a doctor appointment in the morning so all those issues will get addressed.

I am already looking pregnant. I am about 13 weeks and all of those weeks are showing. The worst part is that all my maternity clothes are in North Dakota. Oh well, hopefully I can hold them off until we can make it back up north.

I better go get some cleaning done before I head off to bed.

I know I am winning when a 1 year old's temper tantrums are easily ignored.

We're doing it again!

October 18 2008...
That is the date our baby is due. Yes, we are having another baby. This wasn't totally planned but we are fine with it. Jacob will make a good big brother. I am happy to be having another baby I just wish I could skip the pregnancy part and go right to the baby part. David took a little bit to adjust. He was a little scared that we aren't financially ready for two children.
I am hoping we have a baby girl. I have my prince and now I want my little princess. I will be happy with another boy and I will love him all the same but those little pink dresses look so adorable. If this is a little girl we are done with the baby thing for a while if not for good.
I feel blessed that GOD has chosen us to be the parent's of another baby. We must be doing something right for HIM to give us two wonderful gifts of love.
