Baby Blodgett

My dear friend Andrea had her baby girl Tuesday afternoon. She was just under 8 lbs. She is beautiful! I'm so excited for her and Mike. They are going to be such amazing parents. Sorry for those of you on Facebook that have already seen these pictures, you're just going to have to see them again :).
Andrea and the beautiful baby girl. I hope I look that great after having a baby.

I might have hogged her for awhile. She was just too cute and I wanted to take her home ;).
The proud new parents.
The REALLY proud grandmas.
Eliza was as excited as I was. We drove all the way to Provo to see her. We just couldn't wait until she got home. And it was a wonderful afternoon.





You're probably wondering what her name is, well so am I. They hadn't decided yet when we were there. But who needs a name when you are that beautiful. Congrats you guys! You sure do make pretty babies, I guess you'll have to make more!

Jared....Oh, Jared

So Jared had a spur of the moment surgery this morning. He's been avoiding having his deviated septum fixed his whole life because all he has heard is that it's the most painful thing you can go through. Well, his co-worker had the surgery done a few months ago and convinced him to have it done. So we decided we would hurry and have it done while we are still on my insurance with the State. Jared went to see the doctor on Monday and he said he didn't have openings until mid to late June, but he did have one on Friday. So Friday it was. We got to LDS hospital surgical center early this morning and got right in for surgery. Everything went well. Once Jared woke up I went back to see him. Well, for those of you who don't know...I pass out very easily, especially when it comes to blood and guts etc. Well leave it to me to pass out while the nurse is explaining to me worse case scenarios. Next thing I know everyone was forgetting Jared and giving me juice, a cold cloth, and an oxygen mask. haha. I felt so bad. Luckily my mother-in-law was there and saved the day. She stayed with him through the rest of recovery while I went back into the waiting room and recovered myself. She was even wonderful enough to stay with him at our house while I ran some errands like picking up prescriptions etc. Anyway, that was my crazy day. And a warning to all: if any emergency occurs that involves blood, don't consider me reliable and useful. Oh, and Jared is doing really well. He's very happy to be "forced" to play video games all weekend.

My Life and my Mother

My life is crazy. There is never a dull moment. However, I'm happier now then I've been in awhile. Mother's Day was a hard day for me. All of the questions of why. It's now been two years. Through all of that pain, I've found peace. Peace knowing that in the Lord's time children will happen. I've also started appreciating everything around me more. All of my life my mom always talked about how long she waited and how hard it was to get me to this earth. I never truly appreciated it until now. Going through the same struggle has made me appreciate my mother more and more. She has been the rock in my life when nothing else was. She is one of the most amazing women I know.

I'm sure some of you want to know what's up with me and how things are going on the baby end. Well, things are about the same. Before and after my surgery I was on many of different medications to try and get me pregnant. I've been to a few different doctors, each with their own ideas of what works best. So far none of those have worked. I've decided to go a different route for awhile. I'm trying to get healthy first of all. I'm also trying the route of supplements. It seems to be going well so far. I definately feel better than when I'm on all of the medications. Through all of this Jared has been so patient. I really couldn't do it without him and his easy-going attitude.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. I'm sorry this post is a week late, but that's how things go in my life.
