Miracle Drugs!

Today I am so grateful for modern medicine! About 2 weeks ago I started in on the morning sickness faze of pregnancy, not fun. It started getting progressively worse everyday and last week I could hardly get out of bed. To spare you all from all of the details, let me just say that by Thursday of last week I was not keeping anything down. I had given into the fact that I would be sick for the next 7 months, like I was with Selina. I finally got into the doctor on Friday and was given some miracle prescriptions! I am feeling SO much better now, and more importantly, Selina has her Mom back. The medicine makes me a little drowsy, but it is amazing how much better I feel! Now I'm just mad that my last doctor did not give me the same drugs! :)

Another thing that I am so grateful for is my wonderful husband. He was a huge help to me the past 2 weeks by picking up the slack here, doing laundry and cooking all of the meals, without one complaint. We are very fortunate that Jeff can work from home a lot or else I do not know what we would have done.

Really Big Announcement

Here is a little peak into the future of what I will look like in about 6 months:

This was when I was about 7 months along with Selina

You got it, we are expecting! We are excited for Selina to have a little brother or sister. I am due in September, and will be very pregnant for the hottest part of the year in Texas. Good thing we have central air!

Happy Birthday Jeff!!!

Today we celebrated Jeff's 26th Birthday! This morning I asked him what he would like to do today, and he said "get some projects done around the house", so he worked all day in the garage, in the shed, and on his saltwater fish tank. For those of you who know Jeff well, you know that he is somewhat of a work-a-holic, and this was really what he wanted to do today. So I resisted the urge to make him go do something fun and allowed him to do what he wanted. We had our neighbors over for cake tonight, and had a great time!


Don't make fun, this was the first cake I have ever completely decorated on my own!




Selina and I gave him a tap and die set and bar clamps. Isn't that exciting? He had hinted at what he wanted but he didn't know what he was getting.


After Jeff blew out the candles, we had to light them again so that the kids could blow them out.

YUMMY!

Our pets. (This is one of the projects that Jeff worked on today)

Big Announcement

Right before we left for Seattle we found out that Jeff was accepted into an MBA program at the University of Dallas. So just as we get out of school, Jeff is diving right back in. Jeff plans to start on January 17th and will take night classes twice a week from 6:30-10:30 at night. I don't think that it can get anymore convenient, because the University of Dallas has extension classes in an office down the hall from Jeff's office. I am so proud of Jeff and all of his accomplishments. He continues to amaze me with all of his ambition and I am so lucky to be married to him.

Our Second Christmas

When we got home from Seattle we still had several presents to open from the Dallin side of the family. It was fun to be able to celebrate again. Many thanks to everyone! We are so blessed!


Selina was over her cold at this point so she was a little more into opening gifts.


All of the fun gifts together!

Seattle Friends

We got Jeff's old crew together for a party. It was fun to see everyone again, we are lucky to have such great friends!





It was quite the task getting all of the kids together for a picture!
