Woohoo It's Friday!

Hello all! As I promised, a new picture of Asher from the ultra sound. So here he is. Its a picture of his face, you should be able to make out an eye on the left side and then it looks to me like he is smiling, a cheesy smile, but a smile nonetheless!

The ultra sound went very well. They are still concerned about the urine that is backing up in his kidneys so they want me back in another 4 weeks to monitor him. They also want me in twice a week for Non-stress tests, basically they will put two belts on my stomach, one will measure Asher's heart rate while the other will monitor for contractions. Good thing I'm not working anymore, twice a week for an hour is a lot to ask off of work! The doctor that did the ultra sound also said that it appears I am much further along then I originally thought. According to this ultra sound Asher is due closer to the 7th of June instead of the 24th. That's exciting news for me, it just means I get to meet him that much sooner! The doctor also told me that I WILL be having a C-Section again. I guess in California you don't get a choice of trying it the natural way once you've already had one c-section, no matter what the reason for the first c-section was, so I will be scheduling that about a week or two before my due date which means he could be here as early as the end of May...crazy! Its coming quickly and I am NOT ready at all yet. Gosh that's only about 9 weeks away! YIKES! I better get started on his room soon!

Easter is this Sunday...I can't believe its so early this year. I have tons of family members coming over, including my mom and step dad Rocky, who will actually be here some time today so I guess I better get going, get this house cleaned before they show up! Have a wonderful Easter everyone!

Happy St Patrick's Day!

It looks as if I only plan on writing a blog on holidays but that isn't true, its just been a very hectic month with moving and all. Now things seem to be calming down and I figured it was time to catch everyone up.

We are now living in Corona, CA. Loving it here so far, its a lot warmer and the sun shines most days. A lot of my family is close by and I've seen them often since moving here. Here is a picture of the front of the house we are renting. We are waiting for a few more months before we look into buying. And yes I am driving that beast of a truck around now since the Jeep gets better gas mileage! James is looking into buying a motorcycle to get back and forth to work but it freaks me out. I'm sure he'll love it though.
Our neighborhood is really nice. We have a pool, well two pools and a kiddie area, an exercise room, a big park and tons of walking paths. Bailey and I have been to the pool a couple of times already, but only he is crazy enough to actually go in the cold water, I just sit on the pool deck and read my books in the warm weather. The walking paths are great, I walk almost every morning after I drop Bailey off at school. We haven't used the the exercise room yet but Bailey has been down to the park a few times and really enjoys it. Here is a picture of the beautiful mountains our neighborhood backs up to. They are beautiful and green right now, they remind me of the mountains I saw in Hawaii a couple of years ago. The picture is taken from my front yard so the other houses are in the way, I'll have to take a camera with me when I go walking in the mornings and take some better pictures.

My favorite thing to do so far is to go down to Tom's Farms and spend a few hours there. They have a couple of places to eat there, a fruit stand, a wine and cheese shop and tons of things for the kids to do. They also have a pond in the middle and lots of tables and chairs around to sit and have lunch. We went there the first full day we were here in California for lunch and it was wonderful sitting by the pond, eating lunch with family and the warm sun shinning all around. A lot different from the snow we left in Cedar City, that's for sure! We also went to a comedy show there one Thursday night. It was good and the comedians were really funny. And the fruit is wonderful! I've eaten so much of it already, I missed California fruit! OH and they also have a candy shop, I try to stay away from that place but Bailey and James always find a way to sneak candy into our basket! If anyone of you ever come to Southern California make sure you stop by Tom's Farms, its a great place to spend a lovely afternoon with your family.

Bailey is liking his new teacher. He says he is very funny and I'm glad that he is starting to fit in at his new school. We actually live about a block and a half from a brand new school called Todd Elementary, but when we went to register Bailey we found out that Todd's 4th grade was completely full so we actually have to take him to the next closest school which is about 10 miles away. The school district just started a bus from Todd to this other school this morning so I don't have to drive him there every morning and pick him up every afternoon.

Well I will try to keep this a little more updated now. I have another ultra sound on Wednesday so I will have another blog on Wednesday with new pictures of Asher! Stay tuned!
