We have arrived!

We have had a baby, moved, found a place to live, bought a new car and found new friends all in the past 6 weeks!
It has been wild, but wonderful. It has truly been amazing how everything has fallen together so well!

Our first week and a half we stayed in Utah, we stayed in the most amazing apartment with an incredible view of the mountains and more importantly THE COOLEST girls! We had origionally planned on getting a hotel room, but our awesome friend Nikki offered for us to take over her room (and king size bed) and room and insisted that she and her 2 roommates (Also friends from BYU Days) loved having all 4 of us there! They are all from big families and said they loved having a family and kids around. Brooklyn loved all the attention and I loved reconnecting with the girls. I cooked meals for them and Brooklyn colored pictures for them to pay rent (;

One of my oldest and dearest friends Kelly McBride came to visit us! She is like a sister to me and it is so fun to have her know my children! Speaking of Sisters... Vic lives only 45 minutes from me now and she has been down twice already! I can't wait for the many more weekends with Auntie Vic around!

Our good friends are in town from Indiana and Brooklyn is in HEAVEN! She asked every day about 20 times if her friends, Jack, Savanah, Charlie, Holie and John were coming over that day for about 2 weeks before they came! When she saw them she nearly peed herself she was so delighted! We have loved having them around!

Being back in Utah comes with a lot of perks, One of course being so close to dear friends and my God-Mother Ginger!!! My team mate from BYU Racquetball days, Eileen is in Provo with her growing family, so we got to see her and her month old baby the other day too!

We have such wonderful good old friends here, but we are SO excited about our new ones! Our second week in our new ward, Trey saw a friend of his from his freshman year - she is married with a 2.5 year old and 1 year old and is married to an awesome guy. We have hung out a dozen times already and have become fast friends! This is of the two girls at the local Children's museum that we got a pass to the first day here. We love it and go every week.


and finanlly, what everyone is waiting for - photos of Jude!
Typical of the second child, there are about a 100th of the amount of picture of him than of Brooklyn. Here are a few though. He is smiling now- hopefully I can have the camera around to catch a few soon!
Most of the time he is in my wrap though - and LOVES it! I call it "Baby Ambian" because he is asleep in about 30 seconds flat when I put him in it and won't wake until I take him out. In fact, I put him in it to go to church each week and he never stirs for the full 3 hours - making it nice that I don't have to change or nurse him during that time. I just LOVE MY WRAP! Everyone else does too - i get about 5 people that stop me every day tell me they like it or to ask where I got it.

Sorry this is such a random post - it's nearly midnight and I am a very sleep deprived Mom still!

Such a stud!! Thanks for posting new pics. So good talking to you as always. Wish we could see you guys and your fabulous house! Great idea with wearing the moby wrap to church, never would have thought of that one. Gaines would always fall right to sleep in it when he was younger as well. Now those days are long gone ;)

What an awesome few weeks! We will be in Utah this coming weekend (General conference) We have a few weddings that weekend, anyway, we have Judes baby blessing certificate. I guess instead of mailing it they thought we could take it? Let us know when we can meet up and we can give it to you!
I had no idea that you guys were moving to Utah! What happened to Chicago? I thought that was where Trey was going to school or something. I miss Utah dearly- enjoy it for me :) Your kids are so beautiful, we are so happy for you guys!

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...
