Back on the Blogging Bandwagon

Yes, we are alive!!!
To those of you that have been wondering if we dropped off of the face of the Earth since my last post, we are indeed alive! Things around here have just been...busy, I guess that is the right word for it.

Updates first:

1. Baby #2 is growing just fine. Mommy's placenta moved up which means we will proceed with a normal delivery!!! Whoo-Hooo! Mommy has been managing the Hyperthyroidism with medication and lots of bloodwork, but the fun part is that we get to see Baby #2 ( Baby Choo-Choo according to Jenson) alot more just to check his growth. It looks like we are looking to deliver around the 5th of July to avoid any other complications. Prayers for Mommy's strength and Baby's health!

2. Daddy has been very busy with lots of big jobs at work, but thankfully is not allowed to go on any other BIG trips until the new little guy makes his debut.

3. Jenson, oh where do we begin?? Lets see, he's had RSV (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0002531/) for about a month, as of last week he got HFM disease (http://children.webmd.com/tc/hand-foot-and-mouth-disease-topic-overview), both of which are very contagious baby viruses and have to run their course. So needless to say he's been a little fussy along with hitting the Terrible Two's full force. Luckily Mommy thought of possible tummy troubles and switched him to lactose free milk which has seemed to help with the violent outbursts. Despite these dumb viruses he's been a trooper. Full of energy and vinegar! His recent favorites are Legos, Chalkboard, and anything that has to do with driving!!! Go figure.

4. Mommy (Me), has been dealing with ALL of the above and sometimes thinks that checking into a hotel for a week would be a great thing. But then she gets a kiss on the cheek from a dirty faced toddler and snaps back into reality. I love my life even though I'd love a break from time to time, but if God brings me to it then he will bring me through it!

Let's see whats happened since my last post...
Playing, Easter, trips to LaGrange, and more playing, & no more crib and new room for J-man!
Pics coming soon!!!

For now I leave you with a verse that reminds me everything has a reason:

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
