So Aunt Dietz asked when we announced that I'm pregnant. Well... about now.
Since I've had three miscarriages, we tend to keep this kind of news close to home. I deal well with my own disappointment, but others "well meaning" condolences just annoy me. So I don't like alot of attention if things go wrong. :) Fair warning to all. I've had my third Dr.'s visit and everything looks good... So I'm pregnant. Due July 28th.
Ash is excited... We're worried about Brenn. He doesn't like babies!!!
My Primary secretary just had a baby, and I wanted to get Brennen's reaction when he saw him. It took a little coxing, but he finally came over to look at him. All he said was "I don't like boy babies, I want gurrrllll baby." and stomped off. A few minutes later he brought back the rest of the kids to show them the baby.
We've been really trying to talk up the Big Brother responsibilities, and telling him that Heavenly Father will give our Family just the right girl baby or boy baby he thinks that Brennen needs to have.
So now his answer changes for each time somebody asks him what he wants. But he tells
me he needs two babies now... a boy baby and a gurrrrrrlllllll baby.
Ash has been busy this week making Valentine's for the Soldiers. She and Brennen made over 50. Her school is entering them in a contest for the local radio station to come visit their school. Ash says they have over 2000, so we'll see. That's pretty good for a school that has less then 100 kids K-6.
She has surgery on the 10th to remove the rod they placed in her arm to stabilize it. She has spent the last 9 months in a cast. We were over at the parents and she was playing with her friends. I reminded her not to jump. She thought that she was being sneaky and went next door to jump at the friends house. They do have a net, but it erked my that she disobeyed and let a friend talk her into something that they knew she's not allowed to do right now. The specialist said absolutely no wheeled toys and no trampolines for quit a while. She may have brittle bone disease, but we haven't decided whether or not to do the genetic testing for it. Paul's Aunt and cousins who have it, have a very mild form of it. As would Ash if she has it. I've talked extensively with Paul's uncle, and he said that the Bone density testing was much more beneficial then the genetics testing. And far less expensive. And all the experts would say would be to drastically change her playing habits. That's what they told Paul's cousins, and we're not willing to change Ash for something that may or may not happen. Kids get hurt everyday. Ash just tends to do hers with style.
Well that's our news for this week.
Love You All!!!!

"For Ev-er"
So, I know it's been about two months. Lots of stuff to do with the holidays, work, school, and primary...It just kept me hopping. And during my Christmas Break I did alot of nothing but play with the kids, read, and be sick.
Yes I know I'm really boring, but maybe I'll have something to say in the next few days. I not looking forward to going back to school, because I'm getting a new student that spontaneously vomits when he doesn't get his way! If he does it to me, he is going to learn that he might just get it back if he doesn't watch it (my short gag reflex and all).
The most exciting thing that has happened to us was Brennen cutting his head open at church the Sunday before Christmas. He was not being good during sharing time, so I had him in the hall with me. After visiting Nursery to give them the announcements, Brenn decided that he was ready to go back to sharing time, so he was walking ahead of me. The bell for Sunday School had just rung, and he was walking in front of one of the few doors that opens into the hallway. Needless to say,that he walked by at the precise moment that the teacher for that Sunday School class pushed it open. Direct contact. It knocked him clean to the floor. Even before I could make it down to him, blood was gushing out of a wound in his hair. Luckily the Teacher that opened the door, is a pediatrician. So he was applying pressure and carring him clear down the hall way to the bathroom... I was supposed to be in the Primary room doing something, and so I was frazzled because I needed to be with Brenn who was screaming his head off, and five different people were asking me what they needed to do to help. By the time I made it into the bathroom with Brennen, his white shirt was covered in blood (Which he was very upset about. He hates to have wet clothes, just like his mom -I have a few friends that make fun of me for this.) His hair was matted with blood and it was still gushing like head wounds do. I had a complete "Bella" moment. Blood doesn't usually do this to me, but the shear smell of it made me nearly pass out. I had to excuse myself so I wouldn't in the men's room. I guess I was as white as a ghost, because I had a trash can thrust ed at me.
They washed his hair, and he snuggled with my friend LeAnne and took a little nap while they still applied pressure. Brother "Dr." Freeman said it would only require one stitch if we wanted to try (because he didn't have any glue in his office), but said if it was his kid, he would just let it heal naturally. I decided with that route, because I knew if he gave him the shot to numb, that he would never be able to get the needle near Brenn to sew the wound. He'll probably have a scar, but it is so far in the hair line that it won't be noticeable.
