a moment of thanks...

I have read a lot of things lately about being thankful and i have also noticed i don't express gratitude as much as i should. so i decided to blog about things i am thankful for.

first and foremost i am thankful for modern medicine. i always used to say how grateful i was that Michael and i had no real health problems , and then i was complaining about Addi and her skin problems. jaiden has taught me alot. her wonderful doctors have taught me alot. they know so much and they are so caring. they knew what jaidens condition was before the health department and had already started treatment before the health department alerted us of her condition. i am so thankful for all the doctors we have and for all of their knowledge.

next i am thankful for my savior. i am thankful for my faith. without this faith the last few months would have been really hard. but knowing that heavenly father has a plan gives me the strength to make it through the hard days.


i am thankful for Addison and her wonderful spirit.

i am thankful to have a job and to work with mostly wonderful people.

most of all i am thankful for my amazing husband, ( i am saying this because it is true, he wont ever read this so i can say what i want and deny it later) he is my best friend and understands me in every way i am so grateful to share my life with him . he makes it really fun. i am thankful for our late night talks and I'm thankful for his hugs when life is overwhelming and i start to fall apart. he will provide for our family in any way he can until the day he dies and i know he loves me with every ounce of his being.

I'm thankful for this time of year to remind me to be grateful . i love all of you and i am thankful you all write blogs so i can stalk your crazy lives :)

2 month check up and h1n1.....

Today was jaidens 2 month check up heres the stats

height: 21 3/4 inches long
weight : 11 lbs 2 oz
head : 37.5?v
she gained a whole pund in 9 days!!! im so glad she is growing healthy and strong but i didnt know she was going to grow so much!!
While we were at the doctor he reccomended we get the h1n1 for addi , since jaiden has a disorder we all need to get it. so mike said " addi do you want to get a shot? " addi shouts "yeah! i dooo! " she was so excited to get it. and then the needle came out and stabbed her in the leg and she screamed bloody murder man was she surprised at what it turned out to be!!!

all seems to be welpil so far i hate vaccines and i really dont like new ones that i don't know much about. michael and i are still debating whether we want to get it or not.
i promise i will get some pics up of jaiden i just need to remember to bring my camera !!

baby jaidens getting strong!!

jaiden is now 7 weeks old, its been a long 7 weeks. im now back to work . i really like my job, my boss is great at working with schedules. i wish i didnt have to work full time but you do what you have too. life is extra busy, we take jaiden to the doctor about once a week either the doctor or to run tests, poor baby. i think that between the 3 doctors they have just about everything figured out and things should slow down a little bit. she's doing well on her meds, and growing strong this week she was already 10 pounds so she made up for her slow start!! we saw a urologist today and he is the one who will be doing her surgery. he said she wont need t have it until 9-18 monthes, the surgery will take 3 to 4 hours and she will only need to stay i nthe hospital overnight. i guess the damage is not as severe as everyone thought which makes me feel alot better. there is one more test that will just see exactly how everything is set up from the inside out. she sure is beautiful. she's really strong likes to hold her up and is so smiley.

addi is growing like crazy , she has a nce big vocabulary . she is a little diva. for halloween she was a witch, she had to wear make up and i say had because there was no way i was going to get out of the house with out putting it on her. she was good she said thank you and would only take one candy. she had fun.

thats all for now we'll see what comes up in the next few weeks.
