Family update

Some know and some don't that it has been a tough winter for our family. Chris has been laid off since November, going back for a few days or weeks once or twice. We are keeping our fingers crossed and praying that work comes soon. He may be going with a new company in Detroit. We hope to know by the end of the week.

As most know I posted a very happy blog right after Christmas. We were expecting our second child in August. At our first doctors appointment we got the devastating news that we had lost the baby. It was very hard to get through the first few weeks of maternity nursing at school. We would like to thank all those that prayed and supported us.

I struggled a bit with school this semester but am very happy to say that I am officially half way done with nursing school. Only one more year. We can finally see the light at the end of this very long tunnel. I am looking forward to spending the summer off with my family. I am so ready for the break.

Landon has been growing up so much this winter. He is talking more and is becoming such a big boy. We are making great progress with potty training and my goal is to have him out of diapers by the end of summer.

After this long winter we are excited to finally have some good news!It has been so hard to not spill the beans to everyone I see. We are expecting Landon's little brother or sister on November 13th. It has been a very nerve racking first trimester. We did early blood work at 4 weeks and everything looked good. We then had an ultrasound at 6 weeks and baby had a very good heartbeat. We had our first appointment with Dr. Canales at10 weeks and she did quick look and baby's heart beat still looked great. She told me at this point I could quit worrying. HA like that will ever happen. Today we had our 14 week appointment and had another quick look. Baby is a little wiggle worm already just like big brother and his/her heartbeat still looks great. We are officially  into the second trimester now! We are so grateful for those who have been praying for us and ask you to continue to do so. We get to find out if what we are having at the end of June, though Landon is convinced he is getting a baby girl.

He is excited about the baby!

Big Boy Bed update

So after a few months of Landon being in his big boy bed I decided it was time for an update. Let me remind you this is the before picture:

Look a nice comfy bed to sleep in. Landon quickly figured out he would rather sleep in his bed than on the floor. Things went great for awhile....


Lately Landon has decided it is more comfortable to take the blankets, pillow, stuffed animals and whatever else he can find and make a pile in the corner to sleep in. I usually end up remaking his bed 3 times a day/night. Hopefully this phase ends quickly!
