Whats your vote?

A bunch of friends suggested for me to do this... and I thought it would be fun to do also!!!
What day is Madison going to come? My aerobics class has a pole going and they all seem to think I am going early..... Let me fill you in with our Dr apt yesterday.
Dr= "Everything looks great. Your Blood Pressure is still low, the baby's HR is still in perfect range. She seems to be right on schedule. Just by feeling around your tummy she doesn't seem to be large... I would guess about a 6.5 lb baby. That is totally a guess but I am positive you won't give birth to a 8 lb baby. I also don't want you to think just because her due date is in 2 weeks you will have a baby in 2 weeks. A LOT of first time Mom's go over, I know you are excited but don't get discouraged if you go over."
You can take that however you want... Now it's your turn to guess what day Madison will be here...
I'm due Sept 7th...

38 weeks....

38 weeks.... feeling large and sometimes in charge! We have two more weeks!! We are so counting down and SO SO excited!! Spencer is going to be such and amazing Daddy! We have a Dr. apt today so we will see how things are going. So far it's been... "Your right on track"... "Looks good." Nothing to promising that she will be here soon or early. I have a feeling she is going to be late but secretly hope it's soon. I still feel great but by the end of the day i am a bit swollen. Tonight, we are also meeting with a midwife. We are having this baby natural, but in the hospital. She is going to give us some information and tips which we need. We are super excited for Madison to join our family!!! We don't care to much for the anticipation..... I now understand why people like to get induced. I guess when she is ready to come she will!! We just want to know when.

Amazing......

He is amazing!!! He just finished his 6th triathlon. He did a great job!! I was a very proud wife!
(I think I was just as nervous as he was before it started)

Spencer and Jessica (sister)- She got third in her age group!

Spencer did a WOWZING job in the swim! He did an 800 meter swim in 14:08.


Unfortunately, this is the only picture I have of Spencer with the Bike. To be honest I didn't recognize him until it was to late. So I sprinted over to the transition to get at least one... this wil have to work. He biked 12 miles in 40:30!

Spencer doing his least favorite... the RUN!!! He really worked hard training in the run but not going from bike to run. I think he did good but he wasn't pleased with his run performance!


Spencer's little training group!! JJ, Landon, Spencer, and Justin (Justin got 2nd in his age group)

In Loving Memory....

My dear friend, Kameron Haban, passed away yesterday morning at 10am after a long and difficult fight with Lupus. Kameron was a generous, loving and incredible person. His family grew up in my ward and I became great friends with his brother Matt. I had many good times with the Haban Family. I grew very close to Sister Haban and her 3 boys. When I went away to college. Matt was on his mission but Kameron was attending EA. That is where he met his amazing wife, Jami. We became friends also!! They lived in Thatcher for many years. This past year they moved to Sierra Vista, just down the street from us.

Jami is a strong, faithful and just plain amazing woman who has been such a rock through this whole trial. They have a son, Kason, who is a 2 1/2 year old who is so sweet, soft-spoken and tender-hearted. Jami and Kason are now left on this earth without their sweet husband and father. While they know they WILL be reunited with him, they are need of thoughts and prayers. I would also like to make a plea to everyone to help support this family in another way. We just opened up an account in their behalf yesterday. Anybody can go to any Bank of America branch and ask to make a donation to the account under JamiLynn Haban for the benefit of Kameron Haban -OR- you could also make an online donation at paypal.com then send a donation to habanfundraiser@gmail.com. Please know that I would never ask this of you if it wasn't something that I truly believed in and something and someone that is in true need. Thank you so much to everyone for their support and love.

If you would like more information on the family, you are welcome to check out her blog where she has been documenting her experience. It is a detailed and heart-felt blog that is sure to touch your heart. Please read her post!! She really is an inspiration to Me and MANY others! The address is kamandjami.blogspot.com

Thanks again. Much love to you all

Jamie and Kameron on the wedding day

Kameron and sweet little Kason

What a wonderful Family that will be together for the Eternities!
We LOve you guys so much!!!

Special Delivery.....

Madison is a lucky girl!!! Last night we had a special SPECIAL delivery made to our house. Our door been rang and standing there was President Gore (counselor in stake pres) and Sister Gore. Sister Gore had this beautiful blanket in her hand (which she made)and Pres. Gore had this AMAZING cradle. Let me give you some history about this man. He just had a huge health procedure done and left him not even able to lift his right hand. He suffered through a lot and we were lucky to have him survive. He is now doing better and made this cradle by hand for our sweet little Madi. Is it awesome or what!! I have always admired him and his wife. They are sweet people and wonderful examples. They are some of Madison's adopted Grandparents. I am so excited to use for all of my children and will definitely be pass it down to my children. This will be where Madison will be sleeping for a long time, next to our bed. Once again, all the cradle needs is a baby!!!



Thank You so SO much President and Sister Gore. You both are amazing!!

Being Pregnant....

I really have enjoyed being pregnant!! I have been SUPER lucky with how I have felt! The first 3 months were not enjoyable but I was grateful. I actually didn't understand how people manage being so sick and have 3 or 4 other kids running around to take care of. I just remember my Mother telling me that once it goes away enjoy being pregnant and you will forget really how nasty the first couple months are. That is totally true! I remember being sick and feeling horrible and NOT being able to do anything about it. As soon I started feeling better I have enjoyed being pregnant. I have felt great!! I have NOT started feeling really uncomfortable, which I am grateful!! I still have been able to sleep at night, but I am starting to get tired early in the evening.
Although, I have LOVED being pregnant I am totally looking forward to:
Having our own little Baby Girl (and everything that goes with it)
Fitting in my clothes: Feeling comfortable in my clothes (will take time and work)
Roller blading: (Spencer found some sweet blades for me at a garage sell Saturday; He made me promise I won't actually use them until after I have the baby) It is going to be hard!! I put them on yesterday, but didn't actually skate.
Running/ Biking: It's going to take a while before I REALLY enjoy it because I will die at first!! It's been a while! (The longest break I've ever taken)
Going to the Lake: Wake Board (will probably have to be next summer)
Teaching Step Aerobics (I am so glad I still am teaching water)
Being able to just jump over a wall without taking an hour to climb
Carry stuff!!! Lets be honest this has been hard for me!! I feel so helpless watching everyone carry "heavy" stuff. I can't wait to help!
See my toes
Being able to shave my legs easier
Not spilling my food all over my tummy.....
That might be a big list but I am so GRATEFUL I have been able to have a great, healthy pregnancy. I am not trying to complain because I don't have anything to complain about!! Like is great but I am so ready for my little baby to come!!!
