Life is Crazy!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!!!

Well let's see, where do I start. The 9th of February was James' birthday (his 40th!!). We had a quiet dinner at home with the kids, we have a party planned this weekend. It should be fun, lots of family coming up for it.

James also got himself a job in Southern California, so we are moving back! I told you life was crazy. It is a really wonderful opportunity and we just couldn't say no. We are a little worried about what to do with our house here in Cedar with the market the way it is, but we are hoping we will be able to at least rent it until we are able to sale it. I told work yesterday that we were leaving the end of February and they didn't seem that upset about losing me...oh well, I think they expected me to be leaving when the baby was born anyway so a few month earlier isn't that big of a deal.

So life isn't the only thing that is crazy around here...how about the weather?!?!?! Yesterday it was sunny, clear and warmer than normal, it was 54 degrees! I was loving it, hoping Spring was right around the corner. This morning we woke up to this! About 8" of new snow! Can you believe it? I think after this storm James is even more anxious to be out of cold Utah and back in sunny Southern California. I guess I don't blame him, of course I will miss the seasons we have here in Utah. My dad said that its been 80 degrees in Riverside, CA the last little while, not really the weather you expect for the middle of February! I know I will really miss Cedar City when its 110 degrees the middle of August is Southern California and only 85-90 in Cedar City! Good thing there are a lot of lakes close by and we have a boat! So its 10:05 am and right now I think James is at home getting all that snow off of our driveway and yes, that picture is taken from the END of our driveway, it is that LONG! Good thing he bought a snow blower a few storms ago, makes his life a little easier.

So in the coming weeks we will be packing up all of our stuff and making our way to Corona, CA. I will miss all of our friends and family here in Cedar City, Utah. I will miss the slow paced lifestyle that comes with living here, but I am so ready to have a MALL close by :) Well I'll keep everyone posted on our move. Thanks for stopping by :)

What a long week!

I know I am seriously slacking here. It has been a long week.

Monday was the ultra sound where we found out we are having a little boy, whose name is going to be....Asher James Sherratt. After the ultra sound I came to work and by 2:30 Bailey's school was calling me to tell me school was shut down for the rest of the day due to the snow storm we were having at the time. It knocked out our power in Enoch, so with no heat in the school they sent the kids home. I think we ended up with about 4-6" of snow, which isn't a lot of this part of Utah, but the fact that it dumped on us in about 1-2 hours makes it a lot, plus the winds were so crazy. I heard on the weather report later that day that Brianhead (the ski resort about 30 minutes from us) had wind gusts of 110mph at the peak!!!

Tuesday was a normal day, kids at school, I went to work. No new snow, just the clean up from the day before. It was pretty quiet around our house.

Wednesday I did not feel well at all so I stayed home from work. We had a follow up doctors appointment at 11 to go over the ultra sound results. My blood pressure was apparently very low compared to normal, probably because of the cold or flu I have, luckily I didn't have a fever or test positive for strep. The ultra sound tech was apparently concerned with the way Asher's kidneys are looking. From what the doctor told us they may not be functioning properly so they want to do another ultra sound in 4-6 weeks. Dr Allen told us not to worry, he isn't worried. He said the ultra sound shows plenty of ambiotic fluid around the baby which is baby urine, which means the kidneys are working. He said to just think of it as an excuse to get to see Asher again! Lucky us! Our next appointment to see the doctor is the 28th of February, I'm not sure when the ultra sound will be, Dr Allen said we would schedule it on that appointment. After the doctor's appointment and a quick lunch with James I went home and slept for about 2 1/2 hours, which made it impossible to sleep that night! I never sleep well the nights that I take a nap, even if I am sick.

Thursday was another busy day. Bailey and I had to get up an extra hour early to get him to his dentist appointment. They had to pull 5 teeth! Poor little man! After a very funny 20 minutes of the medicine taking affect on him, he was finally asleep and ready to get them pulled. I waited in the waiting room for about 20-25 minutes until they were done. The dentist said he did really well, told us he would probably have a tummy ache from the medicine and sent us home. After helping him to the couch to sleep off the rest of the medicine I turned my back for a minute, just long enough for Bailey to throw up all over the couch. Luckily he hadn't eaten anything that morning so it wasn't too messy. After throwing up a couple more times he slept for about 3 hours. He apparently didn't have a good reaction to the medicine they gave him to put him to sleep and threw up several more times throughout the day. I finally called the dentist around 2:30 and he called in a prescription to help keep him from throwing up but once he took it he of course threw it up! Needless to say he didn't eat anything all day. Around 9pm last night I finally got him to keep down some milk, thank goodness!

Today Bailey is home, he said he threw up early this morning, but he ate a bagel and drank some milk this morning and is feeling lots better now. I still have this awful cold, I'm thankful its the weekend soon. Josten is headed up to Salt Lake today to watch his girlfriend, Meaghan, swim. Jared has a new job that he started this week, he is a bagger at Smiths Grocery and James is hauling cars and finishing up the cabin he has been building. Like I said, it has been a very busy week! Let's hope next week is a little calmer!
