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: 3 more weeks!!


Dear Baby,

There are 3 weeks left until your due date of Valentine's day, and we are super excited!!! You are moving as much as ever and are just as strong as ever. The doctors all said that your kicks and punches would not be as strong, but goodness gracious little one you are STRONG!! We see your doctor every week now and last visit your heartbeat was 150 and we are measuring perfectly.

Everything is ready for you to come (there is one thing left to do but it's your dad's responsibility and I will just trust that he will do it! ahem!). Your car seats are loaded in the cars (1 for each just in case!), all of your clothes/blankets/sheets/etc are washed and folded, your room is tidy, we are pre-registered, the hospital bags are packed, our birthing plan is done, your dad has his plan for driving us to the hospital and parking, we are doing a birthing class, and everything you need is purchased. All we need is YOU!!!!!

Your doctor said you have not dropped yet, but rather are "hovering" over your dropping area and so any day now we expect that you will do your thing and prepare for your appearance! We are so overwhelmed with joy at your arrival, and I'm sure the feelings we have now will in no way compare to how we will feel when we see you face to face. I think the three of us will be crying in unison and in joy!

Loving you more and more each day,
Mommy and Daddy
