April

Pink is a festive color right!? well its kinda purple.......
This month is going to be an exciting one. Other than the fact that we were supposed to be in Utah for Easter. This month I had an apt. with a neurologist who finally figured out what has been wrong with me for all these years. I have migraines with aura. Which basically means I have a constant all day every day migraine and I see shiny spots and squiggles! She was the first Dr. to believe me that I have a headache every day. It was nice to have someone believe me and be able to fix the problem. I got a series of pills to take some temporary and 2 daily preventative. But she said that I should start having more energy, fewer stomach aches, my brain should start functioning the way is supposed to (NO MORE FOG) and I will finally get good sleep!
We have 2 baby apts. this month one is just the routine visit to check blood pressure and heart beat and make sure all is well. The other is for Gender! They will look at the heart and umbilical cord and all its little organs and stuff! And we will get the last pictures of the baby until it is born! The day we are doing that is the 29th which is my dads birthday and the 4th anniversary of the day Josh proposed! We are really really excited!
We have decided that unless God tells us other wise, this will be the last kid, for many reasons. Josh is planning on going career. Military life doesn't exactly make having large families easy! I really dont do well being pregnant, It is really hard on my body. And Its really expensive raising kids and this way we will be able to give the ones we have more opportunities that if we had a larger family probably wouldnt be available to them.
Josh Should be ranking up in June. Which will be awesome! More money is always a helpful thing! And as of now he will probably be going to Mississippi in August. I will stay here until he is given the ok to move us to California. He will come home for a few days to move us and then go back. We will (as of now) be leaving somewhere between September and October! Which makes for a little more stress than I was planning but.... Such is our life!
Mom was diagnosed with Cancer in her thyroid. She goes in for surgery on the 26th Carl had 2 close family members pass away and has to have emergency surgery on his neck. He has spurs growing next to and on his spinal chord and the placement could paralyze or kill him if they move or grow too much. Theres a good chance that the operation will put him in a wheel chair or kill him but we are hoping for the best. They are trying to get that one scheduled for 2-3 weeks after moms. So she can take care of him. He is on a plethora of drugs and is non functional at the moment so he cant really take care of her so shes hoping to be recovered enough to take care of him when he gets his! Then he has to have surgery on his shoulder because he has torn his rotator cuff. So there are lots of surgeries coming their way!
DJ turns 18 tomorrow and Brandon 19 today! And we are coming to Utah for sure May 21-26 for a shorter than planned visit but we are looking forward to it!
Well thats about it for this month! We are looking forward to having a fun visit with Dan and Jess they come May! And Hayden is training to be a Nose guard or center! He keeps practicing his down set hikes with Josh and will tackle him repeat!
