A new chapter

It has been some time since I posted. There have been a lot of changes in my life lately.

The biggest of which is that Truman joined us on August 17. He was 7 lbs and 15 oz. He is now almost 9 lbs and is big and happy.


Carmen loves our new little buddy and calls him Tru-ie because she can't quite master his name. She absolutely adores him and kisses him constantly. She always wants to know where he is.



We have moved in with Sandi and Scott and Carmen just loves being around her cousins all the time.

Carmen is getting so big. She will be 2 in just a couple of months. She is talking up a storm and decided on Wednesday that she would call me Mommy instead on Mom.

A bad infection in my c-section site resulted in a trip to the ER and 4 days in the hospital last week. Heavy antibiotics and intense wound care are still on going. I have a wound vac which has helped it heal faster and hopefully we will be done in a couple of weeks. The funny thing is that the wound vac makes this gurgling sound every once in a while and it makes me laugh. So, when you're around me and you hear it... you can laugh too. If you want to.

It's a pretty crazy time in our lives, but we are making it through and know that Heavenly Father is blessing us in ways we can't imagine or see right now.
