Crazy Life......

I have avoided posting for 3 months..... These reasons could be- I'm lazy- I'm busy- and we just aren't all that exciting. But here I go I am going to post our exciting life these past 3 months. Josh and I have been slaving away at our jobs, it seems to take up far more time than we ever expected. Around the end of September we came to the conclusion that we needed some change in our life. That change turned out to be a move to Utah. Josh found a job down here and will be starting around the middle of December. I am still looking for a job and will be staying in Pocatello until the end of the year. One of the benefits to being in Utah will be being so much closer to my OB. Yup, I am pregnant again. I am considered high risk so I have an OB in Utah that is very familiar with my type of case. I loved my previous OB but Pocatello, in general, has its limitations when it comes to perinatal care. We expect that we may be able to find out the gender on our next appointment, which is December 14th. It all depends on how developed the baby is so we will see. If not I have an appointment two weeks after that where they will do a full ultra-sound measuring baby from top to bottom. Little nerve wracking considering the history we have had...... But many many people have assured me all will be well, for now I am relying on their hope alone.

For thanksgiving we went to Utah for the Larsen family, this is Josh's extended family on his mom's side. Because the dinner wasn't until Friday Josh's parents came to our house and we had our own little dinner on Thursday. Deanne was great and showed me how to make a turkey, and was kind enough to take out all the nasty parts and get her hands dirty, not exactly what I would be very good at being so sensitive in sight and smell......

Really for a 3 month absent that is all I have to update on. Just wish us luck in our move and finding me a job. I am hoping to drop down to part time just to ease my stress load a little bit. Now because it is December I am officially going to start a Christmas countdown!! Only 21 days left!

P.S. I am also going to post a poll for all those who would like to take a guess at our baby's gender!

Can I just say how excited I am that you are expecting?! My prayers are with you and this sweet little spirit as you go through this pregnancy! I am so sad that I didn't make it up for Thanksgiving, but we need to plan a trip up there and if you are living there we definitely will have to meet up :) Good luck with the move, pregnancy and job hunting! Love ya!

Hey Elise! I was just wondering what the name of your doc? Are you seeing a Perionatologist? There are some great doctors down there. I have been privileged to have three great ones! I hope the very best for you and Josh!
