Well our lives have taken yet another unexpected turn. greg has been layed off from his job in tropic. i won't go into much detail so i guess if you want all the juicy tidbits then you will have to email me. :) but more and more lately we have felt that tropic jsut wasn't the place for us and had contemplated looking for another job. but gregs boss just beat us too it! we will be moving to koosharem next week. it may be a temprary move or it could be perminant. just depending on where greg can get a job.
although it is not the best time and it was a hair unexpected, we are relieved and are starting to see the blessing in the trial. when one door closes another one opens, right! either way we think that this will be a great thing for our family. we have some amazing friends and family who have been very supportive and we are very grateful!
so if any of you hear of something in the social work/counceling field let us know! :)

go look for binkie!
we FINALLY did it!!!!! the binkie is no more! so it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but at the same time it is! it has been about a week now and jaxon still asks for it when he goes to bed. i have to remind him that binkie is all gone. he is content with that answer for a min and then he wants to go look for it! when i tell him that it is all gone, no more binkie he starts to cry. it is the most pathetic thing you have ever heard! it does make my heart break just a little because i know he loves his binkie so much! he cries for mom and then eventually will fall asleep. that part wasn't too bad, i could deal with it because i knew it was the best thing for him.
the part i didn't anticipate was that he wouldn't sleep! his 2-3 hour naps have gone to (if i am lucky) 1 hour! he goes to bed later and wakes up 1-2 hours earlier. i know you all feel so sorry for me, however! this kid NEEDS more sleep! he is tired all day and is much more whinny then normal. it is apparent that he needs more sleep! so needless to say this makes not only jaxon tired but mom and dad as well!
but the binkie is gone.....

6 weeks and counting!
only 6 weeks left! i am deffinatly counting down the days. we have our c-section scheduled for june 18th which is my due date. so as long as this little nameless girl doesn't come early, that will be the day!
i am getting big, but i guess that kinda comes with the territory. i waddle quit a bit as well. you really should see me trying to chase jaxon down! he knows he is faster then me and laughs at my sorry attempt!
greg is working non-stop. the tourist season is in full swing! we just keep saying to our selves "winters off, winters off, winters off......" and i do alot of breathing exercises! it helps having a therapist in the house to help you deal with your anxiety! jaxon loves to "go work hard" with dad.
we have really enjoyed the warmer weather. we are outside quit a bit, which is good to get the "2 yr old wiggles" out but not so good for the house cleaning!

random ramble session, BEWARE!
again i am going to complain about not having internet! everytime we go to get it something comes up that delays the process!!!!!!!!!!! i think i have finally reached my breaking point, so it shouldn't be too much longer...right?.......
we are in orem yet again for another dr apt, a friends baby shower, and a friends baby blessing. i look forward to my weekend trips every month. i always wish we could stay longer once we get here. we were planning on comming up on fri night after greg got off work. well.....jax got a fun little cold and spent the night in our bed tues night. wed mor. i woke up with that same lovely cold! i thought for sure we would get over it faily quickly. so when greg came home thurs afternoon and said he got the rest of the day off we thought...what the heck lets just go to provo today! FINALLY i got a WHOLE EXTRA DAY in the big city!
when we got to provo, half of my family was sick. seeing how we usually stay with them, we all got worse and not better! i barely made it to the baby shower (TAMI: awsome job! and THANKS for let greg and i stay with you at the last min!! ) and we missed the baby blessing!. poor little jax is hacking up a lung, can't breathe, and has decided to not sleep at night! therefore daddy is starting to get sick and mommy has had a congetsion headache that is out of control! for me the worst part is with all the amazing technology out there no one can make a good cold/headache medicine for those of us that are pregers! i am sorry but tylenol does NOTHING!!!!!!!! and then there is jax who also can take NOTHING and is MISSERABLE! at least daddy can take some niquil and get sleep AND releif of cold symptoms!
WHATS NEW:
DAD: greg is getting busier as the days go! the tourist season is begining. we have a lot of tour companies that bring busses of foreigners that have dinner, stay the night, have breakfast and then leave. we have had a couple of those each week and quit a few people off the road. starting april we will have much more and it looks like there is no end in sight! we will have more and more busses and walk in's as the summer goes on. and that is why i am SO GREATFUL my parents ROCK! they are delaying their move to texas so that i can stay a few weeks before and after baby. that takes a lot of stress off of me. i will have lots of help during my recovery!!!! and greg doesn't have to worry about me and work and trying to do it all.
MOM: i am trying to take things easy. the less i try to do everything, the better i feel! i am still huge and uncomfortable but that goes with the baby territory! BABY GIRL is still an acrobat and never stops moving.....one night while trying to sleep she was going crazy. i was positioned such that the tummy was against greg. she was not stettling down so finally i asked greg if he could feel her kicking. and he says "YES and could you make her stop!! " i just laughed and said "well now you have a small tast of what i feel ALL the time plus for me it is a lot more intense then what you feel" i think he got a good glimpse into what prego's go through! and why i have such a hard time sleeping!
JAXON: he is the same old crazy, never slowing down, bundle of joy 22 month old! he is talking in more sentences and longer sentences! i am constanly amazed with how much he understands and can comprehend! for example last night at 12:30 am we thought he was going to finally going to go to bed so we all get into bed and then a few min. later i hear: i wan ta get out! mooommm, come on! i wan ta get out! refering to getting out of bed, he wanted to "play twains ustairs" he has grown another 2 inches in the last 4 months! and is getting so big! his sense of humor constantly cracks us up! especially when he says "momma i so funny!"
well that is enough of a novel for now! i am going to try and get some sleep before the bundle of joy wakes up!

26 weeks and counting
so just a quick little update on the pregnancy so far. i am constantly exhausted, constantly painfully sour, and constantly uncompfortable! i don't think chasing after a VERY ACTIVE 21 month helps the situation. not that i am complaining or anything, but this pregnancy has been quit different from the first! i am ready to have this little girl!
our last dr apt. went really well, except for the fact that i an gaining wait like there is no tomorrow! nothing like "feeling" you are fat but then to see the proof in numbers......... :( baby is strong and healthy. i have decided that she is an acrobat! she never stops moving!
since we are having a c-section again we got to pick the date. so her official delivery date and birthday will be June 18th! yea!!!!! we cant wait!

Pay it Forward
i saw this on another friends blog and LOVED the idea! what wouldn't brighten your day then to recieve something in the mail just for you that is NOT bills! hopefully we will all be more inspired to think of others through out the year. so here is the deal : the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a hand made gift from me during this year. When and what will be a surprise. There's a small catch...You knew there would be didn't you? Post this on your blog then come back and leave a comment, telling me you're in. Fun, huh? Remember, only the first 3 comments receive the gift. Let's see who looks at my blog!
what's in a name?
for some reason i feel like this little girl of ours needs a name ASAP. greg doesn't feel the same urgency as i do on the subject. the good thing is that we have both come up with a name each. we like each others name, however the problem comes with that we both want OUR name and do not want to give into the other. so i thought i would open the discussion to you all and get your opinions. so PLEASE leave us a comment on what you think.
the 2 names are:
a) maycee
b) grace
