Baby Girl

                 We are having a GIRL!!! I am so excited, I will have a little boy and a little girl! I had asked the ultrasound tech 3 times to make sure she was a girl! Jordan wasn't able to go with me and he couldn't wait for me to get home so I told him over the phone. He did not believe me at all, he kept telling me I was lying. I think he was in shock cause he didn't say much, haha! Later when I called him you could tell he was more excited he told me he had to go buy a shot gun to scare all the little boys away! Her name will be Emma Renee!!
               John is doing very well, he can sit up now from a laying position and is still trying to crawl! On Monday he had his 9 month check up, he is a little guy at only 17lbs 11.5 oz! So we are trying to feed him alot more, and he will go back in 6 weeks for a weight check! He has his surgery on Friday, we still don't have a time on when his surgery is which is kind of a bummer especially cause John cant eat eight hours prier, then the next 4 hrs he can have clear liquids, and then nothing 4 hours before! I pray that it is in the morning so he can sleep through most of the suffering of not eating! :(

NEW JOB!!!!

          I GOT THE JOB AT SAINT MARY'S!!!! I am so happy and excited! Jordan didn't get the job in Marshall but he is working right now at Paul Maines, it is a potato farm. He drives tractor all day and if you know Jordan you know that he loves tractors! We are both praying that everything works out for the both of us.
          I am 18 weeks and 4 days pregnant, time is sure flying! Next Monday we will find out if we will be having Emma Renee or Noah ????? (We haven't decided on a middle name!) My mom will be going with me to the ultrasound because Jordan cant get the time off of work cause he needs to have Friday off for John surgery. Today my mom and I were looking at baby items at the store and my mom said something to John about having a baby sister. John looked at me with this look like "she's kidding, right?" It was so cute!

         John is doing so good, still hasn't mastered crawling yet but he is trying! He loves his bath times, he splishes and a splashes! He is doing so well!

My Wonderful Mothers Day

       I had such a wonderful mothers day!!! Jordan and John went shopping for me and bought me a ice cream maker!! If you know me, you know that I LOVE ICE CREAM!! It looks like an old fashion ice cream maker with a crank handle, but also has a motor on it to. I was super excited and happy with my first mothers day gift!!!

       Jordan had to work on mother's day, but I was fortunate to have the day off. Early that morning before Jordan left for work, we went and had breakfast at Margo's with his parents and grand parents! After breakfast John and I went home, he took a nap and I cleaned! After his nap we headed to buy Grandma Kraft a beautiful hanging basket. Then we went to her house and had some cake!! John loved the cake, he was such a mess and he was willing to share if you wanted to lick it off his fingers!! We were going to go for a walk with grandma, but when we got to the park John was passed out, so we decided just to let him sleep! When we got home we played for the rest of the evening!

       On Monday, my mom and Kitri came over and we headed to the park! John loved the swings, and Kitri loved playing on everything. Tuesday I had a doctor appointment, the babies heart beat was 152 and on May 23rd we will find out if we are having another beautiful baby boy or a beautiful baby girl! After my doctor's appointment, John and I went to the zoo with Rachel, Stephanie, Blake and Dylan! I was kinda disappointed that they didn't have more to see at the zoo! I really want to go to the zoo in Detroit and the Binder zoo. I hope we can make it there this summer!
      John will be having surgery on May 27th it is an out patient surgery. I am more nervous for this than he is, I understand that its a common surgery but he still has to have anesthesia. He has epipasibus (Have no clue if this is how you spell it, but its the best I can do!) It means that Johns urethra is to low on his penis and it is shaped like a D instead of an O, so they are going to move the urethra up and shape it into an O. This surgery is more of a cosmetic surgery than a life and death surgery. If he doesn't get this, then he may always have to pee sitting down. John has been trying to crawl, he gets on all 4's and cant figure out how to move! He gets so upset and cries, its sad but cute at the same time. He looks at me with this look that says "Mom please help me!!" It is so cute, I just look at him and say "You can do it little man!"
   Jordan had his interview in Marshall and it seemed to go well. He will be going down there on Sunday and staying for a few days to work there. The owner (Ben), wants to make sure that Jordan like it there before putting his two weeks in and also to make sure that they can work well together!! Ben is from the Netherlands, I think this is awesome cause I am dutch!! Hopefully by the end of next week we will know for sure if he has the job or not! Please continue to pray from him and our family, this would be such a huge blessing.
    As for me, I had another interview with Saint Mary's today on the Oncology floor. I think it went a lot more smoothly than my last interview. She told me that I should hear back in a week. It is kind of bitter sweet at the moment, because if Jordan gets this Job we will be moving, but I may still take this job until our house sells, and look into seeing if there is a trinity health by Marshall so I maybe able to transfer there. But we will see what happens first.
    Well this month is flying bye, and the last two weeks are going to be really busy for us. But as a family we are doing well and having a great time just living our life!!

Much love to all

May ALREADY????

       It is so hard to believe that it is already May, time is sure flying by!!!! I am 16 weeks and 6 days pregnant, it is flying by also! On Tuesday I have another doctors appointment, at this appointment we will set up the date for an ultrasound!! I still feel like we are having a little girl but we will find out!!
      John is recovering well from his ear infection, he has had a nasty cough and cold but its definitely getting better. His appetite is coming back also! He has scooted a few times, so not long and he will be crawling!!! Oh I'm so excited for him to crawl, but at the same point I say NO DON'T CRAWL YET, where has my baby gone!!! He is growing so fast!! Already 8 months old!!
     Jordan had an interview in Marshall but is still waiting to hear back from them. He also has started his summer soft ball league, and his first game is May 12th! I always enjoyed going to his games.
       As for me, I did hear back from Saint Mary's and I did not get the job at 3 lacks, but I have another interview on the oncology floor. I am praying that I will be able to get this job! I also want to go back to school so bad, I am hoping the fall of 12 I will be able to. I want a better job and be able to be comfortable with our finances, but also do something I love. I do love what I do now, but I want to further my education.
     On April 30th, I gained a new sister in law!!! Chad and Kristen got married, it was a beautiful wedding and John looked so cute in his suite!!!

         Much Love
