Beautiful Baby Boy

We thought we would share the latest photos of our little guy. He seems to have a little round head and sweet little Danish cheeks. He also has a little round nose, just like our other babies. He was a little photo shy, and kept is hands up around his face and he kept turning his head into the placenta. But, he was not shy about his manhood. He very proudly displayed that he is in-fact a BOY.


Not all the news was good however. It looks like he is not developing as much as he should. He is very healthy, but a month behind schedule. It was a concern earlier in the pregnancy, and it appears to be getting worse. We are concerned, of course, but are trying to remain optimistic. We are going for a more in-depth ultrasound tomorrow, and hope that we will get some answers.

I recently had an experience that reminded me how precious each life is. A dear friend of mine lost her beautiful baby shortly after delivery. It reminded me how wonderful the plan of salvation is. I was reminded of our Heavenly Father's love for all of his children, and the blessing that it is to be part of the life giving process. Although it remains painful to all involved, I am counting my blessings.
I do feel that our little boy will be okay, even if there is a long fight. But if it doesn't turn out the way we want. I know that he will be ours forever, and I am so grateful for that.

Whenever I hear of stories like your friends I am more aware of how incredibly blessed we are to have a knowledge of the gospel. That through the most painful of life's experiences we can experience peace. Anyway, he is a cute baby. Funny how you can already tell he looks like his siblings. We are all hoping for the best of news.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
