I ♥ fall

future couch potato

work

So, I don't know if I have mentioned this, but Jess now has a full time job as an ultrasound tech. He is not finished with school until December, but a position opened up and they offered it to him. Could not have come at a better time!

(This is a picture of Abby that Jess took at 32 weeks. I thought it was fitting for my post!)

This was my first week back to work as well. I managed to leave the house, Monday, with only minimal tears.
(it is so hard to leave this, especially when she is smiling and cooing at you before you walk out the door!)

Anyhow, I was skeptical, but so far I am really liking the part time thing! I just work 24 hours a week and I know Abby is in good hands because Jess has her all day (he works a night shift). It seems to be a really good balance for me, because I get to go to work and have some alone time, talk with friends, and have an identity. But I also get my time with Abby and Jess on my days off. I have to admit though, getting up early is so not fun, especially when I am still getting up once a night to feed Abby!

the aftermath

fun times (said with sarcasm)

These were Jess's varicose veins, but last Thursday he had them ripped out.

He was not put out, just given valium to take the edge off. He did really well through the procedure considering they cut him 37 times. Sometimes Jess has the tendency to pass out during these types of things...like he did last time they did a procedure similar to this on his leg. This time he waited until I was driving him home to pass out...YAY!

When I picked him up he was fine and wanted to have lunch. So we did, and then on the way home he said he was not feeling well and to pull over. As he was trying to open the car door he passed out. Well, what else do you do when you can't wake your husband up? You call 911. He finally came to and laid on the lawn next to the car (we are pulled over on a 6 lane highway, University Ave. for those who know Orem). The paramedics came and checked him out and said he just had really low blood pressure and then released him.

He is okay now. This is about a once a year occurrence, but this time it freaked me out because he had just had surgery and was kinda drugged up. Better safe then sorry, right?

i ♥ her

I am so blessed to have such a good baby! I just absolutely adore this little girl. She smiles and coos like crazy and really only cries when she needs something.


She went to the doctor a few weeks ago for her 2 month check up. She is now 10 lbs and 23 inches long. That makes her 47% in weight and 75% in height.

And not to mention, she is now sleeping 5-7 hour stretches in the night! I was hoping that would get better before I went back to work!

MoAb...8th annual NWS party

Since we are now with child, we brought the tent trailer. It was super comfy, but kind of a pain in the butt to get together! This had to be our camp site this year, since the normal one is no longer open to campers :(. Usually we are a lot closer to Castleton Tower.

Someone always parties way too hard, way too early!
