Chomper joins the family







There is never a lack of new life around our place it seems. Whether it is puppies, calves, kittens, colts or real babies! Jayda's pony, Lucy had a colt last week and Jayda has named it Chomper. She loves all the Land Before Time movies, which is where the name comes from. He has to be one of the cutest little things I have ever seen! He must weigh about 30-40 pounds and is only about 24 inches tall. Jayda likes to go check on him when she comes home from Amy's and see how he's doing every day.

She's had a bit of a fever this week that seems to hit around 5pm every night. She's such an angelic little sick person, and sooooo quiet its unbelievable! I hate to say it, but it's actually kind of nice when she is sick! She's also been having bed wetting issues this week for some reason. She rarely wets the bed, so it's a little frustrating that it's happened almost every night this week. Yesterday morning she woke up and said, "Ooooh, I can't believe I peed the bed AGAIN." She was so disappointed in herself. She made it last night without an accident and was thrilled to report this morning, "Daddy, I DIDN'T PEE THE BED!!!"

I'm a few days away from hitting the 26 week mark, so I'm about 6 months along. Hard to believe in 3 short months this baby will be here! This pregnancy seems to be going better than my first one. I have heartburn, but not nearly as bad as I did with Jayda. That could change in the next 3 months though. After having a massage, I haven't had much back pain either. Getting out of bed is really the only thing that is getting harder to do so far. That wouldn't be so bad, if I didn't have to use the bathroom about 3 times during the night. Jed finally got to feel the baby moving, which has gotten more frequent. I go to the doctor on Friday for my checkup and the oh-so fun glucose test.

My parents and Taylor came up this past weekend to visit us, which was long overdue! They even brought me 2 watermelon's, which I had been craving badly! Thank you!!! It ended up being a drizzly, wet weekend so we toured them up to Lemmon for lunch and out to Scott and Pam's to see their remodel job. Had a nice time and its always nice to have family visit. Jayda enjoyed having both sets of grandparents around. She wanted to go home with Taylor, but we thought that might turn into a long week for both grandma, and Jayda. She seems a little TOO willing to go home with whoever will take her. Friday night Jed's uncle Tim asked her when she was going to come stay with him and she replied, "well maybe tonight." He was caught off guard a little! Don't offer, if you don't mean it with her!
