Life Update!

Well needless to say I haven't updated anything for a long time! Shameful I realize, but I do have a relatively good excuse, right? Recently things have been so hectic. I've been trying desperately to get my application in for the special education program at BYU, but things were so hectic that I was unable to get things done. In my defense though, I was nine months pregnant and taking care of an almost one year old! So I guess you can see that my attempt was met by a treacherous foe and I was defeated, at least for now.

And speaking of being pregnant, I am not longer so! On February 24th at 4:51 a.m. I finally gave birth to my beautiful son Liam Nicholas. The reason I say finally is because the weeks leading up to his delivery were quite tiresome and hectic. When I went to my doctor's appointment two weeks prior to that I was dilated to a 3 and I had been having contractions and a terrible backache. We went to the hospital, but I was not progressing so they sent me home. And then the next week my doctor was out of town and I was feeling quite terrible. We ended up going to the hospital on Jonathan's birthday (the 20th) and staying there for over five hours. I was in so much pain an dhaving terrible contractions in my back. I was dilated to a 4 but things weren't progressing again and I was so miserable. But the nurse decided to send me home again. Needless to say I was miserable and in tears all weekend. Then on Monday the 23rd we called my doctor and told him what was going on and he checked me and was surprised that they didn't keep me. So he started things along and sent me to go walk around and try to get things going becuase he knew that I was in pain. Well that did the trick and I was at the hospital at six that evening and was able to actually progress! Dr. Anderson said that he would not have sent me home when I was so miserable. And gratefully I had my darling son soon after.

And in other news, we have decided that it is time for us to move forward in life. With two children, there are many things to consider and we've decided that moving is the best option for us. So around August, we shall be moving towards my family in Southern Utah in order to continue our studies with the help that we need. Hopefully things will work out for the best. I'm sad to be moving from all the wonderful friends that I've made here in Provo as well as leaving BYU, but I know that this is for the best. I hope that all my friends will keep in touch and even come visit from time to time!
