Barber Baby #3

For anyone interested, Barber baby #3 will be arriving November 2008. I am 17 weeks along and we are thrilled to be expecting another little one around here. Bailey is convinced that we are having a girl; after all, she's been praying for a sister for a few years now. I have felt like it was a girl, but we will be happy with whatever we get.
My friends tell me that you cannot hide the third pregnancy and that is completely true in my case. I'm okay with it now that we are past the danger of miscarrying. We've had two ultrasounds and the baby looks healthy so we are celebrating our great news. Hopefully in the next few weeks we will find out if Bailey is right about the baby's gender.
Scott and I have recently received bigger, more time-consuming callings and are interested to see how it will all work out when we add a baby on top of our busy lives. Scott is the new executive secretary for the ward and I am the 2nd counselor in the Relief Society. I am going to miss my Mia Maids and all the young women, but it was time for a change. Scott is not so thrilled about his change. He enjoyed being the finance clerk; he announced a few weeks ago in Sunday School that he didn't like "dealing with people" so I think the Lord found humor in calling him to this position filled with phone calls and babysitting during bishopric interviews. He'll be great, of course. I will take all the Enrichment ideas anyone wants to throw my way.
Life in Arizona is so great. We are enjoying the sun and swim all the time with neighbors and friends. It's hard to believe that we get cold in the water if it's less than 100 degrees outside but we do. Let the sun beat down!

Congrats Bec! You look great. I can't wait to hear what you guys are having. I totally agree about the whole getting in the pool thing. It's just as hot here in Bakersfield and even though it's 100 outside the pool is still cold. I'm a wimp too. I need the water to be a nice 86 degrees before I get in.

My First Marathon

Image
The famous North Shore Waikiki Sunset Gorgeous Day at the Beach in Waikiki Many people have asked about the marathon and I cannot do it justice with just a summary. If you want to hear, "It was rough but went well" then feel free to skip the long narration that follows. Hawaii was amazing. I needed the break and truly appreciate the opportunity. I have said in previous posts that I know the Lord guided me to this path and despite the many challenges, I am grateful. The week before the marathon I did an 8 mile run which ended badly with excruciating pain in my left knee down to my ankle and foot. I limped home very worried and decided not to run until the marathon. I went to the chiropractor Wednesday night and she told me I needed to take three weeks off for my leg to recover. I reminded her the marathon was in 4 days. Her face went dead pan and simply said, "Do what you can then." I wanted to advise her to never become a motivational speaker but let it go. The nigh

Rough Day

Yesterday was a really rough day. Both of my boys get bronchiolitis when they get any kind of congestion; basically they wheeze and we use breathing treatments every four hours for a week until they get better. Their breathing isn't too labored, but they don't sound very good. Landon has been wheezing since Sunday so I took him in to the Dr. yesterday. The nurse practitioner checked his oxygen level and it was 99% so he was getting oxygen despite the wheezing. I assumed she would tell me to continue the breathing treatments at home every four hours for the next week. This is the same procedure with each boy every time either one gets a cold and it goes straight to his lungs. I was very surprised when she told me I needed to take Landon to the E.R. immediately. I asked a lot of questions, mainly, “Why am I taking him to the E.R.? Is it really that serious? What am I supposed to say when they ask why I am there? Are you sure I need to go to the E.R.” She told me that he needed t

Mother's Day

My day began and ended with me facing a sink full of dishes. Because it was a Sunday my kids were crazy and Scott had meetings. I was stressed about my new calling and sustaining as Ward Activities Chair. Why should today be any different, though? Motherhood rarely pauses and that is okay. Before I know it I'll have all the breaks I want and I'll miss my little crazies. Scott and I make sure to do a weekly date and that is a great break. When Myles is at preschool and Landon naps that is a rare break. When all the kids are in bed and I'm sitting with Scott watching and laughing at my favorite show, that is a much-needed break. I love my family and I loved today. I am learning to find joy in the simplest things. Tonight we had family wrestle and hearing my kids laugh and giggle was a reward. Having my kids sing to me in Sacrament meeting was the best present. Without the Lord I wouldn't have all these wonderful treasures and I am truly blessed. Sometimes I feel like I am
