Yesterday morning was so lovely, we decided to go to the playground near our house. We had Anaya swing and go down a slide for the first time. She was so cute. Well, she didn't seem to be <em>that</em> excited about it, but I still thought she was cute in the act.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9TVJlGqKloeCk99DDccONZdDT1lNi-h0AtdSTlMOsNb1QdXnKT9-AKM1UM2io0g2X23YWR9l9A1Q0Lp6NJcJz64-CD3N4jTA_u5SyyTBaAQoR8kaUBzYp4LdLUzAFyGnMC1lKD2E4-uM/s1600/DSC01458.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482391041233105842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9TVJlGqKloeCk99DDccONZdDT1lNi-h0AtdSTlMOsNb1QdXnKT9-AKM1UM2io0g2X23YWR9l9A1Q0Lp6NJcJz64-CD3N4jTA_u5SyyTBaAQoR8kaUBzYp4LdLUzAFyGnMC1lKD2E4-uM/s400/DSC01458.JPG" /></a> Anaya's first time at the playground.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSpCGaM4l0lbeXa2K62nPGBDT5KM0V3_1r0m4dOtvfwNowvCxOyGaBKXT2i98ToBAJWNoWkSetxlkG7IxPRlHe8a3jNCcR7TiIPOcK8YHXZGhYzIxJtW-22z4Je6DJU4syXrPQ18q4IA/s1600/DSC01457.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482390688053925986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSpCGaM4l0lbeXa2K62nPGBDT5KM0V3_1r0m4dOtvfwNowvCxOyGaBKXT2i98ToBAJWNoWkSetxlkG7IxPRlHe8a3jNCcR7TiIPOcK8YHXZGhYzIxJtW-22z4Je6DJU4syXrPQ18q4IA/s400/DSC01457.JPG" /></a> I just wanna eat those perfect chubby legs.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1UI89XVWOXOhCELmaEJjFxsfRhNMw28D1UB3KM93pDX9bM465LPTltx8clUcuFfGN0IXT44TaGFDs_8zeoP2oT5KWvtqIUMOfB5nSpX3EAeIq4Mzj4xDWEnaNf9w194birAZObSKkOUU/s1600/DSC01456.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482390676537942994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1UI89XVWOXOhCELmaEJjFxsfRhNMw28D1UB3KM93pDX9bM465LPTltx8clUcuFfGN0IXT44TaGFDs_8zeoP2oT5KWvtqIUMOfB5nSpX3EAeIq4Mzj4xDWEnaNf9w194birAZObSKkOUU/s400/DSC01456.JPG" /></a><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482390665942118898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixYmE52AhBcCuI4YuGFbhBaJY-EHUq3RcLPTPYdSt4MoY9k5WY_emuv15IK56Qitx8kwAdwzEkpF8IrjTDdiWh2UBQGHwMkTQbFbDn9Hl7axjnhRdMckFTlJS_N3phFnXLLNtht7aIrhM/s400/DSC01454.JPG" /> <div>She looks so dignified in this shot waving to the camera.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxqKcO-aGOg47HHKiptmsrgPVim1qyuPx4jZqmL7MWphJN8DlVrEmBO0eszjDZVhSQOiQHDaK2zFukPZy_gQ1odsLuB5jKzJNQO_0gQhPkH5nGbxwPuYqkwg_pVYKtnGtATTJrHmW77Tg/s1600/DSC01451.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482390656084099378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxqKcO-aGOg47HHKiptmsrgPVim1qyuPx4jZqmL7MWphJN8DlVrEmBO0eszjDZVhSQOiQHDaK2zFukPZy_gQ1odsLuB5jKzJNQO_0gQhPkH5nGbxwPuYqkwg_pVYKtnGtATTJrHmW77Tg/s400/DSC01451.JPG" /></a> Practicing sitting in her superseat.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Wvj5Iss5DSl4-BZSOdNXXi2GyH93XwiNAKKAXEdLVuIs78wbCL5Vfv8AVEPycpmSlmMJPEhME-HDo0VutYvpcvye9Q4UcX290AWDv2H9R1BqbywdqE0Mfw0L0lgsA_hXk1B-EAKhaig/s1600/DSC01448.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5482390648975455234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Wvj5Iss5DSl4-BZSOdNXXi2GyH93XwiNAKKAXEdLVuIs78wbCL5Vfv8AVEPycpmSlmMJPEhME-HDo0VutYvpcvye9Q4UcX290AWDv2H9R1BqbywdqE0Mfw0L0lgsA_hXk1B-EAKhaig/s400/DSC01448.JPG" /></a><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dz-f8IwVBGl8lSr-Y1yZ8XIam4109m9pthBL31JLPWF4U6br8oYBOgtVqIvGjLVZrs3Is5e4c2-8gXMVuB9oA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><p><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyFkq_I_-qDonDSgWmWGDv0VBUj7fVQgmjH9vABiDeg-aWVzVDtQEXR_bEmKN-mv4mnCSuxoDk1dzbKZM4eLw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p></div></div></div></div></div></div>Anaya rolled over from her back this morning! She's been so close for awhile, but she finally succeeded today. She's been practicing her sitting (which she could care less about) in her "superseat" my friend Carey got her. We feed her in it and she enjoys playing for awhile in it. It's good practice for sitting which I am determined for her to learn so she can stop killing my back. Her favorite foods so far are bananas, applesauce and sweet potatoes. Needless to say, she doesn't care too much for peas. She'll eat them though. I hope she has her father's palette 'cuz mine consists of cotton candy, seafood and pasta. I probably didn't eat my peas either when I was her age. She is now 6 months old and still topping the percentile charts!

I can't believe she is already done and ready for the big world. I am really proud of her. I got teary-eyed as she walked across the stage to get her diploma. She has worked hard for this and she deserves it. She was very involved in school, got good grades, had lots of friends and really applied herself. She has turned into quite a mature, sophisticated lady. I remember graduating from highschool when she was only 7 years old, and now it was her turn. Way to go Natalie!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFr52U8pIPqczRecMdGgPf1AeSN-p7lC1OyLf3mqgj4OACVjTVOhQTuv4pKUyiA0DysXWZZjRe3jWv5HeumJT8UvceN6k9qI8MXVIglJjhmebb5HIyQH3GcAC0Pe8EeLkQPLK_m187X7I/s1600/DSC01438.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474517384481578322" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFr52U8pIPqczRecMdGgPf1AeSN-p7lC1OyLf3mqgj4OACVjTVOhQTuv4pKUyiA0DysXWZZjRe3jWv5HeumJT8UvceN6k9qI8MXVIglJjhmebb5HIyQH3GcAC0Pe8EeLkQPLK_m187X7I/s400/DSC01438.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf6mBFRVCvEdYLs20cFIF7Hh48Z6VgnW_dQAKGfQhmMsc0txYleoxDeCRNYkWSOZQW05G9Hi-1t2n2aupPl-UbJy-m6SanOabalmM0Ikndrdy-y5rNZZ5hF0odrJCgD5y63qaz_L3xeJ4/s1600/DSC01437.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474517377708529314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf6mBFRVCvEdYLs20cFIF7Hh48Z6VgnW_dQAKGfQhmMsc0txYleoxDeCRNYkWSOZQW05G9Hi-1t2n2aupPl-UbJy-m6SanOabalmM0Ikndrdy-y5rNZZ5hF0odrJCgD5y63qaz_L3xeJ4/s400/DSC01437.JPG" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVxyB102TdzQYsBAE-Wf-KhXjoSHjQXS_B5T8aEoMdQqd34NopI4W3oBzD1ZnZyNhXU1p5RVxg4k1gREZeqqFE_nngV1vJz1kRt8PwKw_7jsU_SrF5Beu6r6XvEuF0C6rEjYJ95kv76r8/s1600/DSC01436.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474517364295499170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVxyB102TdzQYsBAE-Wf-KhXjoSHjQXS_B5T8aEoMdQqd34NopI4W3oBzD1ZnZyNhXU1p5RVxg4k1gREZeqqFE_nngV1vJz1kRt8PwKw_7jsU_SrF5Beu6r6XvEuF0C6rEjYJ95kv76r8/s400/DSC01436.JPG" /></a> A graduate hopeful...atta girl!</div><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474520493428583554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx1jxedFkp687qz7vi3jOuXMDZ92hs5xr-TKcMOZ9G-LCSO8eHM-sRUWLt7K6yUVdumrfVSnXL4IlxXhczkp1miyWGrXprYT0JLMfYED_3-SbGNlSONMMPHdVTkIHrlJgsp3WLvmsKIA8/s400/IMG_8974.JPG" />She is the love of my life.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUwqz4L6jkdNdvHnxKvousPlH9TjcrxD1hAAe1wirXBi_k8iU1yLBquYev_zSxjYYJ-dqCteqmhal0tQ-k6JyVv4Rrk2XrlpV8AkUf94SrA561QifCCRpogVnkaDE_yqCuG54UilirHk/s1600/anaya.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474517360142290562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieUwqz4L6jkdNdvHnxKvousPlH9TjcrxD1hAAe1wirXBi_k8iU1yLBquYev_zSxjYYJ-dqCteqmhal0tQ-k6JyVv4Rrk2XrlpV8AkUf94SrA561QifCCRpogVnkaDE_yqCuG54UilirHk/s400/anaya.jpg" /></a></div></div>Jen and Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06799940979499515628noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453365193119846432.post-8857318801899290722010-05-09T14:48:00.000-07:002010-05-09T15:05:19.890-07:00Mother's Day #1!!!I finally get a Mother's Day for ME!!!

I am so grateful fo this awesome act of kindness. The pictures turned out professional and beautiful. I have been showing them off to everyone who stops by. Yes, my baby is naked in most of them, and she peed and pooped on me in the process, but all newborn pictures are naked ones and the result is inevitable defecation. Right? I love these pictures and cannot wait till we are not destitute to have them blown up and strewn across our walls!<br /><div><div>Photo shoot aside, Reed has been gone for a week on another one of his field jobs. I have been totally alone for an entire week. I have had much appreciated help here and there, but have had sole responsibility of a newborn for 6 days. I wanted to prove to myself that I could successfully do it alone and did so the first night. That was all I could handle. Thanks to my mother-in-law and friend Sandra for keeping me company the next 3 nights. I felt so vulnerable being alone in this big house with a 2 month-old. I did go shopping one rainy day though to break the monotony and just to get out of the house and take up time. That made me feel better. Even if the "greeter" lady basically told me my baby was fat. "Does she get her big cheeks from Mom or Dad?" What!?! See ya later lady. I would tell her not to quit her day job if that probably was not in fact her day job. Reed comes home today though providing the equipment they are using does not run out of batteries <em>again</em>. Argh! It was nice though to spend a whole week admiring my baby and all her special qualities. She is so amazing!</div><div>Well, enjoy these pictures.

I have decided to let go of my fear of germs and winter weather...partially. I still do not fancy the idea of sitting in a building with 200+ kids aged 2 to 12 who are sneezing and/or coughing and/or harboring some infectious disease that is undetectable from an innocent bystander (aka...church). However, I let down my guard (since it's now summer-time) and have allowed Anaya to immerge out into the open. We have walked around the park by our house, strolled down Sabino Canyon, attended my cousin Elizabeth's wedding reception in Gilbert, and even gone shopping. I know..that place has germs too, but they are not sitting right next to you in the form of small children.<br />Anaya is well and growing everyday. Literally. Is that normal? I swear she's like a small person. It's hard to remember she's still a newborn. She has also begun smiling a lot...so cute I could just eat her up. We are having such a great time with her.<br /><br /><div align="center">At Sabino Canyon with Daddy...</div><div align="center"> </div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426075311919458818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRW9w3RS58VmjmO_TaY844sxT2sq-pCoChKIPJyJcDRqJ4LUkp28X5syEYXE4brR18hR5FDGdzuWO6TzXWcf47349_bR-DCEUuj-10iC6kUhs82nZOPnc0o37pjL92zZTWb1y_h_gHGOc/s400/020.JPG" /><br /><p align="center">At the park by our house.

Her name is Anaya Elyse and she made her grand debut into this world Thursday, December 3rd, at 11:58am. She weighed 8 lbs. 12.9 oz, 21 inches long and she is amazing. I couldn't love anything more. Now I know what women meant when they said they never thought they could love someone so much. I am so in love! She is beautiful and I am so proud of her. I find myself in tears quite often purely from the love I have for her. What a blessing. </div><div align="left">As far as the infamous "labor story" goes,...my water broke at 3:00am-ish after two days of on and off cramping (which I chalked up to diarrhea pains that wouldn't go away and let me sleep) and we rushed to the hospital, tears, heavy breathing and all. 40 minutes later we arrived and I meeeeeeaaaaaandered down the hall to my room. I managed to make it to 6 centimeters all by myself until the lovely epidural lady came to take away my woes. I highly recommend an epidural solely due to the fact that you can pay attention to what is going on around you and enjoy the moment...oh, and so you don't feel your estimated 10-11 pound child burst through your body. I know women like to feel their child come out and so did I, but having an epidural didn't change the moment for me. I still felt like I worked hard and made my big contribution. My doctor called the hospital to check on her patients that morning and was shocked to hear that I was there in active labor after 3-4 long weeks of 1 centimeter, 50% effaced, and -3/-2 station. I was so excited to see her walk in to rescue me...and then she left me. :( However, my nurse Karen was amazing and helped make sure my baby was safe and happy before gracing the room with her presence. Finally, at 11:58 after my doctor came back in to rescue me, my beautiful baby girl popped her head out with some help from the forcep lady...aka, my wonderful doctor. I was so glad she was there to help me bring my baby into this world. I didn't even have to push the rest of her out. I guess after 37 cm has just passed through your loins, the rest kind of just falls out. It was kind of an odd feeling to have her placed on my stomach and then in my hands. I didn't feel that rush of emotion at first. More like..."Wow, she's heavy and smells a little." But after they cleaned her up and handed her to me I was overcome. What an amazing opportunity it is to bring a baby into the world. Reed was great, too. He didn't even pass out. He was quiet the whole time, but there for me just the same. </div><div align="left">Anaya and I are doing fine now. I am still very sore even a week later, but getting better everyday.

Not so bad...right? WRONG! Especially when your doctor just told you your baby is still face up (not down like she's <em>supposed </em>to be...she's already being rebellious)...and I'm only 3 cm dialated. Oh wait...there's more. Here's the kicker: she already weighs 9-10 lbs. WHAT?!? How could someone with my small frame grow a child that is a fatty? Again...I blame Reed, which my doc said I am totally justified in declaring. She also said that mama's size and diet has nothing to do with baby's size...which is why it's okay she's a tubby (at least I know I didn't contribute to her girth). She did make me feel better though by assuring me that fat babies are indeed cute--a phrase I have always cringed at and shoved in my bank of ludicrous thoughts--and when I see her and she looks like me, I will just fall in love with her. Didn't I already say I love my doctor? I'm glad she didn't just roll her eyes in disgust at my "I don't like fat babies" comment and exit stage right quickly. Anyway...I'm having a huge baby and that's that. Moving on...<br />I have passed all of my master's exams with flying colors (who ever came up with that phrase...honestly?) and will graduate December 17th unless I have spontaneously combusted by that point.

That's right...the door bell rang 7 times this year, instead of the disappointing 2 last year. And...sometimes I would open the door and 4 or 5 creatures would be standing there yelling at me. Ah...such fun. I love Halloween. I actually got rid of almost all of our candy. Yes, we had scaled back a bit on the sweets based on last year's stats, but we still had a big bowl prepared with nothing left now but tootsie rolls and a lone mini-twix bar. Hmmm...guess I'll have to eat that. I may decide to be nice and hand those left-overs out to my primary kids. They really could use the energy. NOT!<br /><div> </div><div>Here is my costume I wore for Halloween 2009. I only wore it to work and everyone thought it was brilliant. Too bad I couldn't take any credit for it.

I thought how nice a comment that was, even though it was coming from a guy. I guess he could have said, "Hey you cow, your belly looks pretty fat today," but he didn't. It totally made my day, too. I always feared that I would retain a ton of water and my face would break out into one giant zit when I was pregnant. Luckily, I have been able to ward off such nonsense. But I still have 3 months to go...so I'd better find some wood to knock on QUICK! In other news, I have just completed my first 4 weeks of school teaching my new middle schoolers. Even though most days are pretty similar, each day brings with it new and interesting "items of business" shall we say. Sometimes these items are pretty down right hilarious. Not so hilarious however are the moments when one of my students decides he is going to throw a big bowl of chocolate pudding across the kitchen in protest of cooking-time and then yells at himself while I make him clean it up. Okay...that last part falls into the 'hilarious' category. Oh...kids! Also, I have just signed up for my master's exams and will be taking my orals October 1. So, please don't curse my name or think bad thoughts about me until <em>after</em> that date...for I shall know it was you. I will finally be done with stupid school in December. I have been going to school now for 10 years (my fault, I guess). I could have been a full-fledged doctor by now. Well, almost. Anyway...to close, here are more pictures of me and my "beautiful belly" at 6 months. Just FYI: I am now 6 months, 3 weeks and counting...<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378049034141778034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWPPJ2TQOGxuhaG-4FtIj10Rk6U4Az8ovF8hxFUjLIkBtdKHU4aC0IItFINW837vbecSQwOW0EhuVnaAPXd4WblDurdPTwJidC0YeGtnxDVexFjrAzAMYlBuvN5EjICDTczwqmRvr8_tI/s400/019.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378049043097275618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4NiQQpG_9wdXfAKlnfKedzhOOMPhXY8tiBdejmA1z9VGNN3gDir_KCNNAjpIu7eRKcY6rSxawvBKsZPV9zNBAEr8UaLAwg9H2B3VhFFfQnVd3CVmTuAZnYJRyvFUkat6zPyJZzwrqYc/s400/020.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div>Jen and Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06799940979499515628noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453365193119846432.post-3642963116454518542009-08-07T09:34:00.001-07:002009-08-07T17:26:07.185-07:00The Best Birthday Present Ever!!!Yesterday I got to spend an entire 1/2 hour with my baby girl. What a great birthday present! That's right...we're having a <span style="color:#ff6666;">GIRL!!! </span><span style="color:#000000;">The doctor knew we wanted a boy, so she looked <em>real</em> hard for a penis, but to no avail. Oh well. That's just more incentive to try again. It's just going to be very hard to choose a name now. Reed and I had already agreed on a name we both liked for a boy. Now, we have to start all over. Reed doesn't like the name I want to choose for our girl...but who's doing all the work here? Oh, that'd be me. Who's gonna bring this baby into the world? Oh, that'd be me. So I think I'm entitled to have dibs on the name...right?? Maybe if I convince him to let me name this girl, I will let him name all the other kids whatever he wants. That shows you how much I like this name I chose. Anyway...back to my joyous 1/2 hour birthday present. I am simply amazed at not only nature and God's beautiful creations in action, but the technology we have now to see it happen. I saw just about everything you could see on a human...and she was perfect. Everything was developing normally and she just looked so perfect. She moves around a lot too. It was fun to see her mouth open and close and her arms and feet move right in front of me. It didn't really hit me just how amazing an experience that was until later that day at home. During the appointment, you are so focused on what the doctor is saying and what you are seeing, and then of course the big revealing of the gender. It's hard to really soak it all in and realize what you are priviliged to be seeing. But once I let it all in and was able to concentrate on it, it was the best feeling ever. My first baby. I am already in love with her.</span>Jen and Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06799940979499515628noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453365193119846432.post-38465293490384142992009-08-04T17:17:00.000-07:002009-08-04T18:42:19.888-07:00Road Trip!<div align="left">So, we're back from our very long, but beautiful trip across the country. We flew to West Virginia and met up with Reed's parents and nieces there. We stayed with a very nice couple (my mother-in-law's cousins) for several days. They had such a nice home and lived in a fabulous neighborhood. I was starting to look at real-estate ads. WV is so green and lush. I loved it! After our stay, we began our voyage across the US. We drove through 13 states and eventually ended up in California. We were supposed to end in Utah for the Seamons family reunion, but this ended up being cancelled due to a family member passing away. The family packed up and headed over to California for the funeral. The funeral was very nice and this woman was loved by all. I wish I could have met her. It gives the phrase "never too late" a completely different meaning. This trip allowed me and Reed to meet family we had never seen before, and we are glad to know them. Below are some of our pictures from the excursion.

Guess we'd better put those screens we bought in the openings in our wall now. This sucker was over 4 feet long and looks as though he's staring right at me in this picture. Reed discovered him (luckily, because he didn't have a rattle) and ran upstairs to share the joyous news with me. I threw some clothes on and hurried downstairs. Reed was a little upset that I just waltzed outside to find it with seemingly no caution at all. Especially because in other news...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356597141804887154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 325px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPaQvsoOmXn4U3bvdv8wEbIy7Zn4JQ3dB-cJd1wUxoa316xwqQQhkMfLsXI_ElrkAbjG4QNxNK53TSGzI7pc26Wv0DptRBYK2oEvsXlS8guhkPooHrrjxBw8RYk5p_mbSDmXLGAoKkTU/s400/cartoon24.png" border="0" />I'm pregnant!!

We usually just watch the fireworks on TV or go up to the second floor of our apartment complex and see what we can see, but this year we decided to mix it up. Being a homeowner sure does open up many more rooms of possibilities. Reed and I thought it would also be more fun to have a BBQ at the <em><span style="color:#ff0000;">very nice and spacious</span></em> park by our house. Well, when we arrived to clean off the grill that other nasty people have used and start the coals burning, the <em><span style="color:#000099;">very nice and spacious</span></em> part was drenched in about a million gallons of water (courtesy of the downpour we had the night before). Apparently this park also serves as the drainage for our community. Brilliant!! Reed had actually gone over earlier to check the park's availability of crusty grills but decided not to tell me about the water in hopes it would all be gone in the next few hours and I suppose in fear of any yelling that may ensue upon me hearing the dreadful news. So, Reed and I enjoyed cooking and semi-hosting our first BBQ in pools of molch sprinkled with rabbit poo...and the aroma...mmmmm! I say <em><span style="color:#ff0000;">semi-hosting</span></em> because instead of Reed's whole family attending like we thought and were hoping for, Reed's parents came. (That sounds bad...we did enjoy their company). The other family members showed up in small numbers eventually. The night ended up being rather enjoyable. Reed did a wonderful job with the burgers and hotdogs, he even fed one to the <em><span style="color:#000099;">rabbit pooed water</span></em>. They were tender and juicy. Yummy! We ended the night at the <strong><em>Fireworks Spectacular</em></strong> held in Marana. Next time we'll have to bring lawn chairs, even though we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the ant-ridden dirt hoping that one would not crawl down my pants.<br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355794822522985874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1yUNyCEGmeoK_2v_k_YY6jjt4lVKWm_15iskgCUM-h-zwCgBWrPDSwuMxPSfRCc6SLAxkB7Fs17O1g_3V81eTz-Bg21VmsEs3An7PjYdzg-zVZAiKVUr5m7auFsV7gnzQAitgOTAx-U0/s400/019.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center">Reed and his BBQ-ing skills!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355794824004313810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0EWmwpnX_DsX2hq_ULfQtccq1EpX8yNwrEu6d2V0OKXKWIgl_7xAwaLnFRehKlKwFdJG9eNtuZAogxRMjZQ6NO12R9p4g2vB8UoF4LNIgdQTsZyjhb8VnzEPglHbDFApGLJ-aMsDbRHs/s400/020.JPG" border="0" /></p><br /><p align="center">Only a fraction of the drainage aftermath...and my father-in-law, Darwin.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355794834874760850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsomuC8j2wIb7MT24sLkDYKt8nWbanGBvh-DMTr8_usN56RGsUIeCxvFnzYxXahfW9QWBa8a8FBV07Y-fJZp_Xb9eQI06DFgAgwTtQGeJttRK7A8_BoCF0CbHjcTWeDe25iXdeoDRZoko/s400/021.JPG" border="0" /><br />My mother-in-law, Jeannie, waiting for her food in the van.

Crap!...a visitor and I'm in my PJ's. So I creep up to the peep hole (so she doesn't suspect my presence) and there is a nice looking girl with a clip board. Should I answer it?...I thought to myself. I can just smile and nod and then nicely decline whatever she was selling. WRONG! Always creep <em>back</em> away from the door quietly and pretend you're not home. Think Jen!!! Anyway, I actually open the door (no thanks to the involuntary muscle reactions of my upper extremities) and listen to her schpeal. She was selling a vacuum and proceeded to explain its glory and wonder with a bonus deep-cleaning of the fabric in the house of my choice. All I basically heard was that I will get a piece of my house cleaned for free. When she's done with her lecture, smiling like she'd like a response, I say "Sure". STUPID! What follows would take me through a 2 and 1/2 hour adventure (which I'm sure you don't care to indulge in) of how this vacuum works...who said anything about a vacuum...and why I should buy it. So basically my morning (and afternoon) consisted of needlessly starving myself for three hours just to get my couch cleaned. By the way, this vacuum (Kirby is his name) costs more than the down payment on our car. I made sure I mentioned that in lou of today's economic crisis before passing out after viewing the price tag. This vacuum is amazing though. Dang it! It not only vacuums...oh no...it is a leaf blower, car detailer, deep-cleaner/shampooer, sweeper, tile cleaner and many other things in one. "Hot Dawg!" you say? Well you can have one for the reasonable price of 2500 dollars. Not so hot anymore right? That's what I thought. The owner guy was totally willing to bargain with me though. However, he was just not going for the 60 dollar price tag hanging above my puppy-eyed head. Guess I should have slipped into something more sexy than my pajamas that morning. To make him feel more successful and less like he had just wasted a good majority of his day, I promised some customers to him. So...anyone who wants this delicious deal...just let me know. I'll send them knocking on your door. Enjoy the hours of fun!<br /><br />All joking aside, it is a tremendous vacuum, and he is willing to make a deal. Payment plans are offered too.

Just thought I should since it's been 2 months. The new house is doing well. We are painting it this summer finally. I hate white walls especially when there's not much decoration on them, and color would just be much more homey and welcoming.<br />School is done for the year. I am taking an online class this summer and one more in the fall...and then I'll finally be done!!! Wait...what's that in the distance? I think it's a finish line. Oh wait...something is blocking it. Oh yeah my comps. Ugh! Ah well...the inevitable strikes again. Guess I'll have to wait till December graduation to get too excited.<br />In other news, we hope to be traveling across the country later this summer if all goes well with our finances. Tuition has rapidly depleted our savings account. Cripes! Anyway, more posts to come, hopefully of our painting genious and our lovely trip. Stay tuned.Jen and Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06799940979499515628noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453365193119846432.post-48778930717363022052009-04-11T10:09:00.000-07:002009-04-11T10:21:14.299-07:00Invasion of the Moths!!!I just had the most exhilarating, triumphant experience sucking up all the moths (dead or alive) that have recently invaded our humble home with the attachment on our vacuum cleaner. I felt like <strong><em>Vindictive Wonder Woman</em></strong>. She existed once, right? Now, I just have to sanitize the areas where they dumped their bloody poo. <em>Why!!!</em> Anywho, these nasty little germs in flight are the fifth type of critters we've had around these parts. #1: fake bugs from my cousin Alicia on her first visit to our new home. House-warming gift? #2: crickets. #3: our first (and only) cute little baby scorpion. #4: a mouse. He was cute too even though he was dead. Is that macabre? I wait in anticipation for our next critter to rear it's ugly head.Jen and Reedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06799940979499515628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453365193119846432.post-26822954341823520772009-03-27T15:14:00.000-07:002009-04-11T20:18:03.915-07:00"Friendly Reminder"<div align="center">If you will all just take a moment to scroll down to my previous post regarding our growth. I thought it was pretty amazing. Well...the HOA did not agree. We received a letter in the mail today about this disagreement with the unsightly growth occurring in our front and side yards. Excuse me, but how can one of God's creations be unsightly. Reed and I were actually encouraging their progress and are very proud of how far they've come. The HOA needs to spend a little more time appreciating nature in action. Despite our valiant efforts to nurture our growth, the weeds in the yard have to go. We have until April 9th. Which means...we'll wait until April 9th before we let our creations meet their demise. Here are pictures to remember them by...<br /></div><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317999134498815714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEbCiBNhwAMMMhnSJY0szgLnw3o8AF31ef49-auv28mjPb37c_EaGZtNH4A47i8b0cfQ1eWKNzddWyrZTsoRi8J3eeWhazytZH3t0-2XHvro6d2hyphenhyphenNIIQ0kg8bBb4TUJEV2fiLBUIp2c/s320/014.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Side Yard</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317999128326799906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSahHgEgIi96Rgpcar9EJ0-yXkobbsXCHwjr2PlQ4No0qPmoUfSWtRDjgt19_vDlrnSbHqpqZ-ghvVNNkWnl6AyQmE3vVoNHNZEQ3LjlrE8XINrWT41V6Q5Fcc4nYuOsA8gCqszRPVAIM/s320/013.JPG" border="0" /></p><p align="center">Front Yard<br /><br />Oh, and I have finally taken the time to photograph the inside of our new house...which is actually almost a year old already!
