End of December, First half of January Update (LONG)

So the last few weeks have been crazy and fast.

I am finally signed up to all the classes I need to be in. It took two weeks to get my schedual straight. I have visited the bookstore way to much, buying books, then returning them.

I am now taking 13 credits, same as last semester. I am taking A&P + the lab, I have an online history class, then a economics class, along with a survey of art class. Most of these are just introductory classes, but I am still way over my head. Not this week but next I will have a bunch of tests coming up. I better get studying.

I journey down to pokie on Tuesday and Thursday with my sister Trecia. It is nice to talk and get caught up on each others lives. Then on Monday and Wednesday I have one class in Idaho Falls. I hate leaving my two babies for so long during the week. I feel like I never see them, and when I get home I still can't spend time with them...I am busy studying. BUMMER.

Even though school is a drag, and no fun right now. I know it will pay off, and I know it is what my heavenly father wants me to be doing. I can do it! It will be worth it!

And while school has been going on...there has been lots of other things as well.

Addyson was born Dec 22 at a weight of 8#'s 11 oz

On the 27th of Dec we went for her 2 day checkup, with the holidays it was really a 4 day checkup. She already weighed 9 #'s 4 oz. She was still 21 inches long and her first head circumference taken at 15 in. She was growing right? Way to fast.

Then on Jan 5th we went for her two week checkup. She weighed 9#'s 8 oz. Her head circumference was still 15in and she was still 21in long.

WOW! Our little girl is getting chubby. :D She is still growing and is now 4 weeks old...and in 2 days she will be a month old.

She is always hungry and eats all the time. If she doesn't fall asleep when I feed her she never gets full. She is a really good baby, hiccups a lot, burps like a truck driver, hardly spits up (unless she eats formula, or my milk from a bottle), hardly cries (unless hungry), still poops a ton (every time she eats), loves to sleep (like her mama), and is adorable I am so glad she is mine. I think miss Addyson still looks like Drake a lot. She is doing well and we are so blessed to have her.

Drake is also getting bigger. He will stand on his own without holding on to things, but he refuses to walk. He loves to click his tongue (SO LOUD), he now spits, he has two bottom teeth and the top two look like they are close, he is so happy, he loves everyone, he is not shy at all always going to strangers. He is doing really good with food compared to a month ago. He will now eat almost all baby food, not meat. He will now eat breads, cereals, and other food we give him without gagging. He loves milk still, and has a hard time if he doesn't get his bottle. AHH

I love my Drakester...he is such an awesome toddler.

While I am gone a lot with school, Kade is gone a lot with work. He loves his job...and it keeps him busy...so I hate it. I do love all the cool stuff we score, but it is a problem for our small house. Our newest great find was a microfiber rocking chair, it swivels and is in pretty good shape. It matches my living room, where my old maroon one didn't. Unfortunately it doesn't fit in our house yet, because we haven't gotten rid of our maroon one yet.

HE LOOKS SO SAD!

Kade finds all sorts of things for him, and I am sure there would be fun stuff for me at the houses, but I don't go with him so I miss out. We are so happy that we have employment, even if he is gone a lot.

There is our quick, but pretty long update.
