About Me

Welcome to our blog!! This is a blog about our life, mostly from Jennifer's perspective. We were married in July 2007 at the Wynn Resort in Las Vegas and then sealed together for eternity in the Albuquerque New Mexico Temple in June 2009. We welcomed Ms. Ellie Sophia into our lives on February 9, 2010 and she is absolutely the light of our lives. Then we added Silas Ian on January 4, 2013 and his smile just brightens our days. We live in Rio Rancho, New Mexico where Justin works as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and I pursue my PhD in Nursing while being a stay at home mom! Life is so chaotic but we really couldn't ask for a more perfect life!

Dear baby: Nine


Dear baby,

I hope this letter finds you doing well and happy in your little "house." This week has been very hard as I have been incredibly tired, and getting a little disgruntled that you are not here, AND that you are sooo far away from being here. Your dad has been having to deal with a lot of attitude, but he's hanging in there (I hope you have at least 1/2 of your dad's patience)!!!!

This week this is what you are doing: "Your baby is about the size of a clenched fist and he's sporting a downy coating of hair (lanugo) that keeps him nice and warm. Not to worry — you won't give birth to a monkey; baby fat will accumulate over the next few months, keeping your baby warm and toasty — and allowing most of that hair to shed."

This week you got a new present from your friend Jerra, and I'm sure you will enjoy playing with all the stuff she got you! I'm also searching for a special hat for you to wear after you are born instead of those funky hats they give you at the hospital - not sure they will let you wear it, but I'm going to try!!

Well I better get back to work - your dad will be home soon and I can't let him find me slacking!!

Love you to the moon and back,
Mom and dad
