Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Well... little late. But that's okay. Jaxon is 5 months now, growing like crazy!
We had family from my mothers side come to town for the weekends AND my dads side, which means LOTS of people to spoil Jaxon... he loved that. And he got to see Morgan, my aunts little girl who is just weeks older than Jax. It is so amazing how different 2 babies the same age can be. Jaxon is not in daycare, so I never see him around babies his age. He LOVED her. the first time he saw her he practically pounced her in her car seat. He also love his great-great-grandma, who would sit next to him in his little toy and talk with him for hours.
All I have to say, is out of all the very many things I am grateful for, the fact that I have blessed with such a sweet little boy is number one. He is so well tempered and he is so smart. He teaches me and my husband, and he has brought us so much closer together. Second I am thankful for my husband, who goes above and beyond to love me and my son. Times for us aren't easy, for most people they aren't, but he holds my hand through it all and we fight the fight TOGETHER. And third, I am thankful to be an environment that is safe for my family to grow. Even though we aren't rich, we are much better off than most; with family and a good neighborhood and strong values... that is a true blessing.
We just past the anniversary of when I found out I was pregnant last year... and I keep thinking to myself where my life would be if some small events in that time of my life DIDN'T happen. And it physically scares me. I loved my life before, and though I knew eventually everything would work out the way it was supposed to, I was afraid of loosing the life I had. But now, I am afraid at the thought of loosing what those changes have brought me. I would change a single thing about the last year of my life. I love my husband and I love my son, they are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

As most of you know from previous blog posts, Colton has been working in Utah for over a month. Last week the unexpected happened when he suddenly passed out and hit his head. That is never a phone call a wife wants to get! Especially when he is 900 miles away and I couldn't be there for him. Anyways, he spent the night in ER getting tests done, mainly concerned if it was a seizure or not... which has happened in the past.
I didn't get to hear from him until the following day. He seems do be doing fine now.. but at the doctors yesterday he got some.... unwanted news.
His doctor doesn't want him working or driving for three months. Which makes things complicated to say the least.
Now the cards are completely different before! If you know what we will do next, your one step ahead of me! I am just happy he is okay. But for now... I have no clue what to expect out of the next couple of weeks...
Except maybe a baby! Less than 6 weeks until my due date!
And not that any of you like to hear me nag, but I miss him. ):

So... It's been about a thousand years since a posted a blog. And not because I haven't had anything interesting going on, I've just been purposely avoiding it so that I don't sound like I am complaining AND have to much time on my hands!
Last update, Colton and I were on our way up to a quick weekend in Utah for our second reception and a second baby shower. They were both a success (despite a tiny bit of family drama) and I would just like to mention a thank you to my mother-in-law Gina for all her hard work on both events.
Sadly however what was supposed to be a quick weekend turned into a never ending weekend for my husband, and he stayed behind to work in Vernal. I guess it's not sad that he is working or that he gets to be with his family, mainly It is sad that out of the 45 days we have been married, we have been 1000 miles apart for 16 of them.
On top of that, he doesn't get to be here for all my baby mama drama! And who doesn't want to be apart of that ;)
If all works out for him in Vernal, then I will likely be joining him after the baby comes... Which need I remind you is RAPIDLY approaching!
I am now 30 weeks pregnant (: stretch marks are in full force and so is planning! This last weekend I went through ALL the baby clothes from hand-me-downs, gifts and my own purchases and organized by size so we knew what was going to fit the baby when. I finally bought an adorable pack n' play that I can use as a crib until I am settled in a more permanent living situation, a diaper bag (which matches my car seat btw, and I have it packed and ready for take off!), and a mobe wrap. Which if you have never invested in one, all that moms I've met that use one SWEAR by it. Im a-little overwhelmed at the site of it, because it's really alot of fabric... And well you know what happens if you wrap it wrong :/
At my 28 week check up I had my glucose test. Its funny because I dreaded it after all the horror stories of how nasty the drink was... but it actually wasn't all that bad. Tasted like flat orange soda? Anyways, failed it. So I was back in the doctors last week for a much more miserable test because I couldn't eat or drink. Long story short, I passed that test and I do NOT have gestational diabetes.
Tomorrow is my 30 weeks check up, super excited! But to tell you the truth when you are at the doctors every week, its just another checkup!

It has been a really long time since I blogged, but I am a newly wed! Colton and I are about to leave toward Utah for our long awaited Utah reception! I hope the weather is nice, but either way we are both super excited to see our friends and family!
We are having a second baby shower up there as well AND my maternity shoot! All in one day, crazy right? We like to keep people busy I guess... All this craziness added to a constant movement in my belly, is really getting Colton and I excited about the up and coming arrival of Jaxon! I am now 28 weeks pregnant, and starting to be ready to have this baby out of me! We have the car seat in the car, we are ready to go!
Its almost baby time! (:
But in other news, not to brag or anything. Being married is great! SOO much fun! We are defiantly not in the best situation right now with money and living arrangements, but we make it work, and we really do have a blast being together!
