here are my right and left ankles on tuesday last week. i fell down at work and sprained my ankle pretty bad. lots of fun. now i get to spend 8 hours a day calling past customers to see if they want to sign back up with us. most people seem to have distinct reasons for canceling their service. needless to say, work has not been fun for me.
So we had our appointment today , and when the nurse came in she said all we had to do today was hear the heartbeat and take some measurements- Oh and had I had an ultrasound yet? I told her we had not and she said they'd have to order one. I was feeling pretty sad because I thought for sure we would get to find out today. So I asked her how long it would take to order an ultrasound and she said they may be able to do it today! Yippee, we were all for that. We only had to wait about a half hour and I drank about two water bottles. Then we got to see our baby girl. It took a while... this one doesn't keep still! It doesn't seem real yet. I can't wait to meet her. She already looks like a beautiful baby and we love her!!
I feel like I need to share with everyone what an amazing husband I have. I've always thought myself to be very blessed to have him, but he's really impressed me lately. Ever since we found out I was pregnant, he's done all he can to meet my every need. and I never have to ask. We'll just be sitting on the couch and he'll pick up my feet and start rubbing them, or he'll start to rub my back. I don't even ask him to- he just does it! Every day he asks "what can I do for you?". He cooks, he cleans, he goes to work and school and he NEVER complains! He does all he can to take care of me and I honestly feel like a queen. And he always maks me laugh! He is a wonderful husband- I know he's the best and most perfect eternal companion for me. He will make a great dad. I love our marriage. So many people told us the "honeymoon" stage wouldn't last. We both disagree. It never has to end and we don't want it to. We know as long as we put each other first- it never will. So I just thought I'd share that with everyone. Thank you for all you do , Jordan..I love you!
I am very blessed to have a mother and a mother in law like mine. My mom is great. She has the best sense of humor. I know she has been through a lot in her life, but she still has a strong testimony, and is happy. I love to hear stories about her childhood and even better, her college years ( she liked to play pranks on people =) ). She is there whenever I need her- always willing to help me out. I think she is absolutely gorgeous and always take it as a compliment when I'm told I look like her- something all my sisters do as well. She has been a wonderful mother to her 5 children. She has also been an example of many things; love, sacrifice, endurance, faithfulness, a good wife, and just taught us how to run an home and take care of each other. I love you, mom!
Then there is Sheryl. How I got so blessed to marry into a family with such a great mom? I don't know. She is someone I have always looked up to. My mama- in- law is someone who lights up the room and always makes people feel their best . I have never seen an ounce of selfishness in this women. I am amazed that she had 8 great kids in 10 years and continues to teach them good values. She is always willing to help everyone out and is very good and noticing people's needs and tending to them. I feel like we can never repay her for all she does for Jordan and I. It is so much fun being her daughter- in- law. And I am so happy that she raised Jordan- He is the best Husband in the world. I love the relationship he has with his mom.
So thank you , mamas for all your love and all you do. I have two perfect examples of mothers and wives. I can't wait for our baby to be showered by your love!
... by the stork. it should be arriving early november. at least thats what my wife says. he will allegedly be bringing something for us to take care of. no, wait, i think breana said someone, not something. and aparently we will need to buy diapers to prepare. i wonder what all this could mean...
It's been a really long time since we have posted anything on here - so it's time for an update. Wednesday Dejah, Arwen , Jordan , and I went to this cool fabric store in Buena Park , then we all went out to eat at Watsons in old town Orange. Dejah needed to take pictures for her photography class, so we tagged along and took some of our own too. (The tree picture) Everything looked so beautiful that day. We were off the 91 freeway by all of the burned trees and the contrast of burnt trees and newly grown green grass was so cool!
Then, Miss Arwen had her big day on Thursday. She graduated from ACC with a degree in massage therapy! Congratulations Arwen! I spaced on taking pictures of her in her cap and gown, but she looked very pretty and happy. We are all very proud of her.
FRIDAY--- yep, after months of talking it up and waiting , waiting, waiting Jordan was finally able to get his Honda Ruckus. I was pretty nervous about the fact that he's a Holmes boy and they all have a record of ER visits, but I followed him home and he rides very well. It can only go about 40 mph, which is fine by me. He's pretty excited- he just better not get hurt since he promised he wouldn't . So that's our update- more to come soon I'm sure!
