It has been awhile

Well, I am not doing very good on keeping this updated. I keep telling myself that I will get better at it, but I just keep falling farther and farther behind. Ok, since I found out in july that I am pregnant again not much has really changed. We are having a little girl this time. We have decided to name her Addison Jo. I am due March 14th, which is three days after Jackson's first birthday. Jackson is growing up so fast. He now has three teeth, is crawling, pulling himself up, trying to walk, and is no longer on formula. He is bound and determined to NOT be a baby! We are all doing good, just getting ready for Jackson's first Christmas. I will try to update this a little more, but really nothing exciting goes on around here.

AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

Well, here the past week or so I have been real sick feeling and very tired. A familiar feeling. So I went to the local drug store and bought a home pregnancy test and took both, cause I did not like the result the first time. But they were both the same! PREGNANT!!! OMG!! My son is less than five months old, this can't be happening! I went straight to the doctor after work and her result was the same. I am freaking out. My kids will be so close together. I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO THIS! One day at a time. Well at least this time I am finding out quite a bit sooner. More time to prepare and plan. Keep us in your prayer.

So Much To Update!!!

Ok, I don't even know where to begin. We have not had the net in like four months so I am really behind! So I guess I will start from the beginning. We moved out of our apartment at the beggining of March to save on rent, cause they were telling us that we would close on out house in like a week or so. Well, that did not happen. After like two weeks we were still at his brothers. I went in for my weekly doctors appointment and had really high blood pressure, so the doctor sent me straight to the hospital to be induced. After 21 hours of labor we were introduced to Jackson Roy DeDear on March 11, 2009 at 11:36 am. I could never have imagined falling in love with someone so fast, but I fell head over hills for this little boy. We had nowhere to go really, so we went to live with my mother-in-law. The first couple of weeks were a little hard, just getting use to sleepless nights and being in someone elses house with a new baby. After a few days Jamie and I gave jackson his first bath. It did not go as well as I planned. He screamed almost the whole time. We felt really bad, but it has gotten a whole lot better.

Thanks fully in April we got the news that our house was REALLY ready to close! We finally had a ome of our own. We live in Goodman, Mo. In a house on ten acres. We are loving it!

Jackson is now gitting so big. He is four months old tommorrow! WOW, how time flies. He is already doing so many things. He started rolling over about a week ago, thanks to grandpa. My dad worked with him till he got it. He is truly wanting to walk. You may think I am crazy, but just ask my parents. Him standing up and holding on to your fingers. Then he starts moving his feet, left then right. He will even get mad cause you wont let him go. He loves spending time in his saucer and playing in the floor. he is moving all over the place by rolling around and laying on his back and scooting around. He also started eating baby cereal this week. He is doing a lot better than I thought he would, but I should not be surprised. He is all about growing up! Well that is all I have time for right now. He is ready for a bath and bed. I will try to be better at keeping this up to date. Love ya'll!

Let's Get Ya'll Up To Date

OK, Well a lot has gone on, but it seems that nothing has gotten accomplished. I went to my first doctors appointment on the 15th and again was informed I am pregnant! Well duh! They did not do a sonogram(spr?) but the nurse practitioner did do a belly measurement and put me at 32 weeks! She gave me a due date of March 13th. Yes, Friday the 13th! They scheduled me for another appointment for the 27th, but had to cancel that due to our recent Ice Storm. We were out of all power for four days. I have to call on Monday to reschedule. At that appointment they will do all my labs and then make and appointment for an OBGYN. Maybe soon we will finally know what we are having! It is driving me crazy. I will let ya'll know as I do.
Now onto the house situation. We have had to find another house to try buying. They original one we were looking at had a mandatory repair escrow that had to be wrapped into the loan. No loan company would carry it, due to risk. We found another one which will actually be better. There are NO repairs and it has recently been remodeled. The 10 acres that comes with it is in much better condition and is completely fenced, which will save us a lot of money! Plus it comes with almost all appliances! The bank that has possession of it accepted our offer last week, so we are moving along. Please keep this in your prayers. we really need a house before we have this baby.
That is all the information I have so far. Oh! I did buy a belly monitor yesterday and got to listen to the baby's heart beat. It was AWESOME! We are just praying for a happy healthy baby.

Finding Out We Are Having A Baby

Jamie and I have been married for almost three years and have been together for over five. We have had GREAT times together and are one an others best friends, but over the past five to six months Jamie and I have truly experienced some of marriages toughest battles. Honestly, we were on the verge of a divorce. I can't even explain the pain and stress that we have gone through. But like I have have always two great things, one God never gives us more that we can handle and what doesn't kills you only makes you stronger. Both of which have proven themselves to be true. We are going strong now and love each other more than I think we ever have, thanks to some very wonderful people that were there to help us when we needed it most.
So in the midst of all this struggle I was not really paying much attention to my body and what it was telling me. I went through a period of about a month were I could barely eat or drink without throwing up. I have not had ANY monthly visits(which is pretty normal for my body especially during stressful times), and I have been losing weight in certain parts of my body such as my rear end and hips, but my stomach seemed to be growing. I thought I was just gaining weight and getting fat.
Well one night I was laying on my couch with my sweet little dog, daisy. She had her head rested on my stomach, when all of a sudden something kicked me, from inside, so hard it popped her head off of me. It freaked me out! Now it may sound overly dumb, but I did not do anything about it. I told my husband and he told me I was imagining things. Well after that it continued to happen about every evening when I layed down to rest on the couch or layed in bed. Finally I told my husband that there was something wrong with me and it was not in my head. I got in the car at 10:00 at night and went to walmart and bought a digital test(two in a box). I rushed home and went through the process and then waited. Within a minute it popped up PREGNANT! I freaked! Called my mom so she could calm me down and pull me out of shock and then had to get my husband out of shock! I somewhat did not believe it, but after four home test and one doctors test I have come to realization that we are having a baby. The scariest part is I am most likely around 5 months or so, due to the kicking and the other changes my body is going through, that I now know to watch for. Our works insurance is so expensive so we never signed up for it, but I am going to a doctor that is going to get me on medicaid. My first real appointment is on January 15th and I am overly excited. I can't wait to see what we are having! We are really hoping for a boy, but will be happy with anything that is healthy.

Buying a House

We have wanted a house since the day we got married, but we have just had so many obstacles in our way. Now that interest rates have dropped so low we thought we would try again. we found a house that we both love. It is what we have always wanted, a fixer upper with land. But of coarse nothing ever goes smoothly. It is a HUD foreclosure and we are nearing the end right around the holidays, so no one is in a hurry. We have been in under righting for almost a week now and are losing patience. Right now we are living in a shoe box! Our one bedroom apartment is almost as small as the bedroom I grew up in, and like most people we have tons of stuff. So we have placed most of our belongings into a 10x10 storage unit and are doing without it. Yes all my scrap booking stuff had to be put away. It is killing me. We have put in out notice to the apartment office, cause if not we had to renew our lease for another three months, and have to be out by January 28th. Talk about stress. I am counting the days till we have nowhere to live if the loan office does not start doing it's job. Who knew that buying a house was truly so difficult!? So we have been told that it SHOULD be out of underwriting on Monday then we move on. So please keep us in your prayers, I don't know if I can take much more!
