Mommyhood

I must say motherhood is all careers put into one. You have; cook, housekeeper, money manager, taxi, teacher, and I bet I am missing a ton of others. On top of it all you do not even earn income. If you think your current job is hard try being a homemaker. I would complain all the time about my career jobs but after being a stay at home mom I will never complain again.

After being thrown-up on, peed-on and poohed, and breast milk covering my shirt and some days I cannot even get a shower because I have two screaming babies I have to take care of. Yes I will never complain again.

My Mom did this with six kids by the time she was 29. I give my mother all thumbs up for not killing us and not going into the funny farm. I am 31 and I am trying to handle two, who are one year apart. Somehow, I have survived the first month of raising these two beautiful children. I have learned you take each day at a time. Some days feel like your not going to make it but then the next day is smooth sailing. I guess that what makes feel like I can do this. My husband helps out as much as he can. If he did not help, I think I would be a walking zombie, with eye-bags as big as the Hoover dam.

I am grateful that I can stay home with these little monsters. Of course, the biggest monster is the mother. One day this monster will turn into a beautiful swan like her mother before her. We all survive. We learn and grow from each experience and with our posterity comes much joy.

Oh and remeber today is when Pearl Harbor was attacked and the start of WWII. Thank-you veterans for your service. You are always in our hearts and prayers.

Eliza was born Nov. 2, 2010. She was 8 lbs. 20.5 in. long. She is a great blessing in our lives and she came home very healthy. Kent is enjoying and wondering what this new little sister is all about. I quit my job and now I am a stay at home mommy. I have great help this week but we'll see what next week brings when its me and two babies. I hope the motherly instinct will come and nature will nurture. Love to you all!

Big Day Tomorrow

The big day has finally arrived. My belly can only get so huge. Eliza-Jane will be born tomorrow. Schedule C-section. She will be born at 8 am on Nov. 2, voting day. Remember to vote and remember me in the hospital. I actually made it to 39 1/2 weeks. Kent was born at 24 weeks. So this will be such a different but marvelous experience. We are excited for our little girl to enter the world! I am sure it will rock Kent's world. Wish us the the best!! We wish you all the best.

Kent Turns One Years Old

Kent turned one on October 15. We had a fun party for him. He is healthy and active little boy. He is crawling and sitting up on his own and trying to pull himself up. Pretty soon he will be walking. Watch out world. He loves saying Dada and just waiting for the day for him to say Mama. Baby sister was good and was not born on his birthday. So it looks like she will be coming on Nov. 2nd when scheduled. We are excited and I'm sure Kent will be too.

Kent's Blessing

June 20, 2010 Father's Day

Today Kent was blessed and it was a beautiful day. Bryan blessed him to have a full life. We are grateful for the family and friends for there love and support.
Last weekend we were in California for my brother's Richard Graduation and it was lots of fun. We went to the beaches in New Port and some parks and Santa Monica Pier and Hollywood. Kent did not like the beach so much because of the wind but I am sure when we gets older he will enjoy it more.

This weekend we also found out that we are going to have a little girl in early November. We are excited for Kent to be an older brother. We are planning on naming her Elizabeth Jeanette Willis but we will call her Eliza Jane. So its been an eventful couple of weeks but great to be around family.

Award Dinner

Kent is now 7 months and very healthy. We are so happy for his progress. This was Mother's day Weekend and it was great. Bryan received two awards from work and they sent everyone for dinner party at the Grand America hotel. It was very nice. Grandma Jeanette babysat and Bryan made us a Mother's breakfast in the morning. It was great. Church was great and everyone loved seeing Kent for the first time.

Long time since I wrote

It's a funny thing we put all this effort in the baby's room and he does not even sleep in it. He sleeps in a bassinet next to our bed and most times he does not sleep in there. He just sleeps in our laps. Kent will be 6 months on the April 15th. I cannot believe how fast time flies. Adjusted Kent is 2 months but we weighed him yesterday and the Pediatrician said he is 9lbs 2.5 ounces and 21.5 inches. So he is growing. We are grateful for that. He's a real baby now.
His sleeping is getting a little bit better. Or I am adjusting to getting no sleep.
He is amazing. I am so grateful for his life. Our neighbor in our ward just lost her baby at nine months in the womb. His heart stopped beating. I don't know why some babies make it and others do not but I do know there is a plan of happiness and God knows all.
