Catching up

I have not even had time to blog since we went through the roller coaster of our amnio. We were surprised with early test results that were negative and they confirmed that we are in fact having a boy. It made the anxiety and the discomfort of the test worth it. We have decided to name him Coby Daniel. We have been painting and shopping preparing for the little guys arrival in 90 days. Since then we have had the anxiety of having my dad having heart surgery just in time. He doesn't realize how much we need him for the next 25+ plus years for the kids as well as us grownups. My dad's presence and love in our lives is much needed and we all are grateful he came out of surgery OK. If you have not known me these last few years you wouldn't know that I am not much for church or any type or religion for that matter. Don't get me wrong I have a strong faith of my own that I feel in my heart and soul by as for anything else, its just not quite there for me. However every time I feel as though I need a little extra help I look to my dad for a father's blessing and he always knows just what to say to make it all better. He blessed little Coby to be healthy and I truly believe it made a difference. If anything it made me stop worrying about it. This little guy is going to be grandpa's new fishing buddy. As far as everything else, Dan and I flew to CO to check out a job offer in Loveland. It was a nice and much needed weekend alone. However the burden of deciding to leave UT or not was weighing on me the whole time. I love having my family so close as well as having the cousins so close like siblings. I am about 13 classes away from my BA in exercise science and want to finish at the U of U. Plus I feel so fortunate to have picked up so many exercise classes in the valley as well as meeting such great people who have become regulars in my day. So we decided that its not the time to leave UT. So for now we are preparing Chloe for kindergarten, Hannah for Jr High, and Preston for High school. Where has the time gone? I am also excited to be home more starting this summer. In hopes that I will be able to take most of my classes online or at the local campus so I can be with this new little boy.
