The pictures kind of go backwards starting at the bottom shows when they were pulling Bodhi out of my tummy.

Bodhi is Here!

So as everyone probably already knows Bodhi was born last Wednesday when I went in for my doctors appointment. We found out that I had severe preclampsia and was sent to the hospital for tests. After the results we were told that Bodhi needed to be born after being told our options we decided to go ahead with a C-Section and Bodhi was born at 10:30 pm. He weighed 5 lbs 7 oz. and was 17.5 inches long. We had to stay at the hospital till Sunday and then were finally allowed to come home. We are now just at home trying to get used to Bodhi waking us up and recovering from my surgery.

Spring Time

So since my last post we have actually been very busy! My family came out to visit in March to come to Eddy and my sealing. We were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on March 17th. That same night Eddy's sister Suzanne had her baby boy Easton. That same week we had our baby shower which was very fun and we were lucky to receive almost everything that we needed! Thank you to all of those who came.

Then just this last weekend my family decided to move out here. After looking for houses for them we found one in Hooper that seemed perfect, a little small in some ways but you can't be picky in times like these. So we spent Sunday and part of Monday helping them move in... well rather Eddy and everyone else did. I tried to entertain all the young children so that they wouldn't be in the way but even that was difficult. As I am coming to the end of my pregnancy I am finding it hard to do much.

There is only 4 more weeks till Bodhi is due and we are extremely anxious and hoping that he will be here a little earlier:) I have a doctors appt today and then one every Wednesday for the next four weeks so we will be finding out more soon. We also have our child birthing class this weekend which should be interesting since I am almost clueless to how things are going to happen and I am getting very nervous about it.

So besides pregnancy and family moving out we are still working and finishing up school. Eddy finished a week or so ago and I have about another 2 weeks left. We are excited for the summer and want to do some fun things with Bodhi like going to California and/or Vegas.

I will try and update everyone on our doctor's appt later this week or next week and inform you all of Bodhi's progression!

Cold Season

Not much has been new. Eddy and I have both been working and going to school just waiting for Bodhi to come. I have been sick on and off for about the past month catching all the different colds that are going around. Bodhi has been moving lots and we both enjoy feeling him kick.

Exciting things are coming up this March. I am going through the temple for the first time March 13th and then March 17th Eddy and I are being sealed! All my family is coming out to be here for it so we are also having the baby shower while they are here. I am really excited to spend time with my family, Courtney, and Nevaeh. It will be a nice break from working and going to school all the time.

I will post again when something notable happens:)

Bodhi and Christmas Updates

We had another doctors appointment today. We went over the ultra sound with the doctor. Everything looks good and healthy. Little Bodhi is a little small at this point weighing about a half pound. The doctor said that he will probably be born around 7 lbs. which would be nice for me:) We also found out according to our ultra sound that the baby's due date is actually May 21st which is my 21st birthday! Of course this does not mean that he will be born then but I have a feeling he will be.

We had a nice relaxing vacation in Nebraska with my family over Christmas. We received a lot of cute things for Bodhi and fun things for ourselves. The break was spent watching movies, playing scrabble and phase 10, and eating lots of yummy food with my family. I was really sad to leave and miss them already. They really just need to move out here;)

IT'S A BOY!!

We went for our ultra sound on Monday and found out that we are having a boy! I had a feeling that it was a boy. We are very excited to know for sure that we are having little Bodhi. It was so cool to actually see my little boy inside my tummy. I could've watched for hours he was so active at the time the doctor had a hard time getting all the pictures she needed. It was amazing to see him moving inside me!! Only about 5 more months left. We can hardly wait.

Tomorrow we leave for Nebraska to have Christmas with my family. We are driving out with my Aunt Rhaelene, two of her children, and my brothers. It should be a fun drive:) I am really excited to see my family again so soon and just have the time off with Eddy. Life has been so hectic working to make up for the time that I had off after I lost my job.

I have currently found a parttime job at the First Baptist Child Care Center. They take children from ages 4 weeks old up until they go to kindergarten. It is like many daycares but has a very well structured curriculum. I really enjoy working there the other teachers are great and the children are so much fun. Sadly it does not necessarily pay the best and it is parttime. So I am still searching for something a bit more stable. I am hoping that possibly after the baby is born or if something opens up fulltime there that I will be able to stay there.

Well that is about all for now! There will definitely be updates after Christmas and with more developments with the baby.
