Baby on the way


It has been a long time since I have posted anything. Since we are expanding our family, I think it is a good idea to start blogging again for my kids to look back at someday. We are expecting our first baby on March 30th. We plan to name him Ryker but are not sure about the middle name yet. Jeremy especially likes this name, it was his idea. We are very excited to welcome him to the world and see what his personality is like. There are many things I hope he gets from Jeremy and a few things I hope he gets from me. Jeremy is going to be a great dad, I am excited to see them together. I am starting to feel more and more nervous as it gets closer to his arrival, we have the majority of things ready for him, just putting some finishing touches on the baby room and then I will post some pics of it. Both of our families are very excited to meet him as well, I know he is going to be one spoiled kid. When we found out we were having a boy, I was not surprised. For some reason, I just felt like it was a boy. We had our families watch the ultrasound before we were going to tell them what it was, but I accidentally spilled the beans ten seconds into it when I said, "look he's moving his arm!"
Since I last posted our families have changed a lot. My brother Taylor got married to Jamie a few years ago, Alicia is currently in college, Colton will graduate high school this year, Tanner will start 7th grade, my mom is working as an Occupational Therapy Assistant and loving it, and my dad is working as a teacher still and enjoying model railroading. My parents remodeled their house and it looks wonderful.
Jeremy's brother Jordan came home from his mission in December and we are happy to have him back. He served a mission to Argentina. Marissa and Kylee are also growing up so fast into beautiful young women. Jeremy's parents are both working hard and enjoy camping and fishing. Although it is hard to deal with change and growing up, each step of life seems to get better and better. I am excited to see what this year will bring us.

Yay, back to blogging! You won't regret it, Jax loves looking back on our blog and seeing things he did when he was younger. I'm so excited for you guys! You'll both be great parents! Try not to be nervous, once he's here your mother's instinct will kick in and you'll know exactly what to do :) Let me know if you need any help with anything, and make sure you take it easy and sleep as much as you can :) Love you guys!
