Wow it has been a busy nine months since Mr. Jack Kenneth was born! My blog is moving slower then ever but I decided that I was going to delete Facebook until I could do a mass clean out of my friends list and focus on catching up this blog. I want to eventually print this off and create a little book so I have a lot of blogging to do to catch up to our present day.
Update on us as of May 2014 before I start with very over due NICU stay post!
We are currently still living in San Diego California; Casey gets out of the Navy in less then seven months in which we are planning to relocate back to Texas where he will attend Texas State for his Masters degree. We have a new apartment back in the city (north park) and I can truly say I love it. It has been so nice to be close to food and parks. Arbonne is slow moving but I had one nonprofit event and will be having another in June. Ender is still wild as can be and Sophia just got out of her second heat (which lasts WAY to long). Jack is now crawling and walking along stuff___eating up a storm! But more on that later in his 9 month blog post! I am only working random temp nanny jobs right now which has been harder on us but I am still very thankful Casey is able to support us and allow me to stay home and raise Jack and continue with school online. I have been trying to take full advantage with my "at home time" and hike multiple times a week and make mom friends while going to the pool and beach.
Oh lastly, we are still working on our credit and trying to find a house a to purchase. OH what a job that is! Trying to find something that fits both mine and Casey's needs...alright more like WANTS!
WAY back in July 2013 our little bean decided to come seven weeks early resulting in a little NICU stay in Marshfield Wisconsin.

First time seeing little bean |
First time mom sees Jack |
Picture from first hold |
We were incredibly lucky to have Wendy and Jim Baker open their home to us for the length of Jacks NICU stay. It allowed me a comfortable place to pump every two hours and make it back to the hospital every three for feedings. It allowed Casey the access to see Jack everyday multiple times a day before he had to go back to California.
So Blessed.
