Lets try this again shall we?? =D KEEP

So I have some very exciting news we are pregnant again, July 19th 2010. This is our little baby at 6 weeks:

If you don't know we've been trying for another baby for a little while, this is my fifth pregnancy, but if everything goes well, will be our 3rd child!! I of course am hoping for a girl for my sweet Jocelyn, so she can have the sister I have truly coveted my whole life, and Jed wants a boy for Bridger. So I guess that means we are hoping for twins, (a boy and a girl) but as the picture shows only ONE baby, no twins for us!!whew! But as of right now, I don't care what it is...as long as its healthy and grows full term, I'll be happy!! 




                                              This is our little pea....awww I look at it every day!

Since I had 2 miscarriages in a row, my Dr. is taking precautions. They put me on Progesterone, a special prenatal vitamin, and of course my favorite of them all my Zofran (so I don't throw up). They are taking my blood every 2 weeks, and I'm also doing the Eager trial, which I take a low dose form of aspirin every day, which is supposed to help with miscarriages.I have to keep it very easy, no stress whatsoever, which is fine by me! We have been watching movies, playing the wii, and just doing things at home for the most part. I have good friends that let me come over and veg out on their sofa so that I don't really have to go out for entertainment. My family is here in Lehi as well, and my mom has helped me a ton by taking the kids when I'm really sick or just coming over. I am feeling extremely blessed to have such a great network right now at this time in my life.


I'm really excited, I feel that this pregnancy is going to just fly by and we will see our little baby thats been tryin so hard to get here in July!! I am so excited for a summer baby!! Bridger was in September, but I didn't realize how fast it became winter after that!! So it will be fun to have a couple of months in the sun before we have to drag out the winter coats!! We wanted a March or April baby, but as much as we plan we can't control these things!!

Even though I've been sick, this has been the best pregnancy out of all of them!! Plus Bridger has totally become addicted to the Wii which has been a lifesaver these past few weeks, probably not the best parenting, but who remembers their childhood at 3 right!? ...lol. We do read books, and watch some educational shows, but for the most part he will win his fortune by playing a wii tournament and he will thank he's youngest sibling for making his mother so sick and having him play the wii.....(thats how I justify it..)

Jocelyn has become this independent little girl, I'm amazed at how much she has grown. She goes to school all day, she comes home, gets herself a little snack of whatever, plays the wii with us, or goes into her room to listen to music (what?!?! when did that happen?!) or just watch tv down stairs. She "babysits" Bridger for us (meaning she has to play with him while I'm resting or cleaning or cooking just so you know I don't leave my 6 year old alone with her 3 year old brother!) and they play!! They are getting along so much better, and working together. I'm so proud of them!!

Anyways, I need to update some more cause we've had a lot of changes the last few weeks, but I think this post is long enough!!

Love,
Cat

Horray for electronics! Don't feel a bit bad about having Bridger play the wii so much. Whatever keeps him and you happy during a this time, go for it! When I was prego with the twins and after I had them, Corybn would watch ALOT of TV (I justified it by having the TV on PBS all the time :) ) There is no way I could have survived that time without it.

Hope the months fly by!!
