Little bit of Life

Well this is another attempt at starting a post. My life feels crazy tight now. The last time I posted I was still pregnant.  November 1, 2014 I had little miss Emma. It's been fun and exhausting so far having two kids. Payton is getting a lot better with her than at the beginning. Emma has been teething that last month or so, but know teeth yet. I don't expect them anytime soon though. She has been waking up screaming like she is in pain and if you rub her gums she calms down so at least we know her issue. Her first 3 months she was colicky. That has gotten a lot better.

Payton just celebrated his second birthday this month. It's hard to believe that James and I have a two year old. He has been a big helper with some things. He loves to try helping me burp Emma. I personally think he likes "hitting" her with out getting into trouble. He does it gently by the way. Anyways we have been trying to figure out how to help him sleep at night. He won't sleep through the night. He always ends up in our bed. That is part of the reason why it has been exhausting.

James has gotten a new schedule. It just started this week. It's been an adjustment for us. He now is on mornings and he works 8 days on and 6 days off. He is now home every night which I think will help Payton in the long run. It will be a more structure night time routine and hopefully he will sleep better at night. We also just moved Emma into her own room.  Well now I will share some photos with you.



Christmas Eve 2014

Just got his new bed

The sign says " Welcome to Alaska Tripp"
 I should explain about Tripp. My older sister and brother family and I are sharing Tripp. He is getting sent around the 3 different states and will be there for big events and just some every day life for us. He made it in time to celebrate Payton's 2nd birthday and will stay with us until we go to Anchorage in April. We will take him to the airport see the planes. He will get to see some of Alaska.


Birthday present

At the end

It's 8:05 pm the night before my due date. I can't believe I'm the end of my pregnancy. I know that Payton can be late, but knowing the end is near is kinda nice. I've enjoyed being pregnant, but these last 3 weeks have been really hard for me. I not the biggest fan of surprises. I have to know what or when something is going to happen. James has a hard time surprising me because I'm always trying figure out what he is doing. *He did surprise me today with some chocolate and a Valentines day card*  Anyways knowing that Payton could come any time excites me, but also terrifies me. I mean when in the world is he going to show. I wish I could just be give a date saying that he will be born that day. Not a due date since most babies are not born on their actual due date. Poor James, I've kept him up numerous time in the past few weeks freaking out, stressing, etc. over this whole not knowing and knowing that I can't do anything about it really. God knows and I h

Trusting.

Well, I've been going down the road of life trying to trust God in every situation. I'm praying and hoping that my husband can get a job soon, seeing since we are out of money and have bills still coming, mostly my student loans. I'm struggling with all of this just because James doesn't have a job yet. I'm sure I wouldn't be as stressed out if we had some money flow coming in.   During all of this I think back to when my dad had his open heart surgery 9 months ago. My mom was also trusting and believing that God would provide during that time. My parent's had bills coming in and had no money to pay them. My dad had his surgery on the monday before thanksgiving in 2010. My mom would come home during the week stay and there would be money in the mail for her and it was always enough to get her through.  I wish I could be like my mom and have the faith that she did. I've been very emotional during all of this. I haven't gotten a good night rest since

might be good-bye for now, but not forever.

Almost every night I have a hard time falling asleep. Half of the time it's because I just am not tired enough to fall asleep, the other half is because my brain won't shut off. I always have different things that I want to write about in a blog, but then by the morning I forget about it. During the day I think oh I should write a blog.  I told James that I want to write one blog per week for the whole year. He just laughed at me and said, you'll run out of things to write about. Right now I feel like he is write, but on the other hand I feel like I can write a lot. Everything I want to write about is getting pregnant and the separation period with James being in a different village. So I guess I won't be writing a blog for awhile, since my last I don't know how many blogs have been about getting pregnant and my separation time. I don't want to bore all the people that might actually read this. So unless I can think of something else, you might not hear from me
