20 week appointment

We had our 20 week appointment last week and are happy to confirm that Layton is still a boy! He made it pretty clear what he was. He was wiggling all over the place and always found a way to show us his rear end no matter what angle we were looking from! The nurse was laughing telling us we better get ready because he is going to be a very active child! It was really neat to be able to see his stomach, heart, lungs, brain... they pretty much show us everything. Of course we can't tell anything, but from what see said, he looks pretty healthy. Our Dr. was out of town and so he will review everything once he is back and let us know if there is anything to be concerned about. I'm pretty sure he is healthy as a horse! Below is a 3D picture of Layton's face. We have 3 photos like this one and also a video of the ultrasound. It is neat to already see some of his features. Kendall and I have decided that he mostly looks like his Dad. He has my round nose and big lips and the rest is all Kendall! Kendall just says, "he's cute, of course he looks like me"! I'm just happy to see that he has all of his fingers and all of this toes! And best of all... I'm halfway there!!! YEAH!

Hugh and Haven visit

My brother Brock, his wife Rachael and their oldest son Cordon went on a river rafting trip from Sunday to Friday. My mother and I picked up their two year old twins last Saturday to watch them for the week. I had Wednesday and Thursday off work so I had the twins those 2 days. Well Kendall and Butch went with his dad, brothers and nephew backpacking on Wednesday until Saturday, leaving me and Roxi home alone. Despite Haven peeing on me and Hugh peeing all over my floor, TWICE it was a lot of fun! On Thursday my Aunt Linda took my Grandpa Findlay to his cancer treatment and while waiting for him she stopped by with lunch for the twins and I. After lunch we packed the kids in the car and headed over to see my Grandpa. He seemed pretty excited to see the twins. He even took them for a ride back to the car on his walker. Hugh doesn't look too happy in this picture but it is only because the sun was in his eyes. They loved the ride on the walker and of course started crying when we had to take them off and put them back in the car. It was a long week with Kendall gone, but I am sure glad I had the twins to help with the time. They were so fun to have!

Baby Jaussi is a...

BOY!!! We have decided on Layton Kendall Jaussi. I was going to put on his "deciding" picture, but then realized that most of the people who have seen it can't even tell where the baby is. This was our most exciting and enjoyable ultrasound. Layton was moving his hands and head all over the place. In this picture he was moving his fingers looking at his hand until he shoved his thumb in his mouth. It was pretty neat. When they were looking to see if he was a boy or girl, he wouldn't move. We had to push on him and make him move his rear end. He didn't seem to like that very much. The funniest part was while we were looking through his legs you could see his head bobbing around and then all of a sudden his hand started waving through his legs! We are just very happy to see that he is growing and the Dr's all think he looks healthy.

Baby Update

Sorry it took me so long to update after our last appointment. Here is the baby at our 12 week appointment. I am now 15 weeks. It actually looks like a baby! We were both expecting to see something similar to the last photo, and so when the baby showed up on the screen we were both blown away with how big it's getting. The Dr. said we would notice a big difference in size, but I guess we really weren't sure what to expect. It's just so neat to know that our baby is doing well, the heartbeat is strong, and they think it looks very healthy. As of right now we don't find out what we are having until the last wednesday in July! We are thinking about finding out earlier; if we do, we will be sure to let everyone know.

Baby Jaussi

Kendall & I would like everyone to see our new little addition! We are happy to announce that we are 8 weeks pregnant and this is one of the pictures from our first ultrasound yesterday. Our due date is December 9, 2009. We are considered high risk so we were able to have this appointment at 8 weeks to confirm the pregnancy and will have our regular 12 week appointment at the end of May. No worries though, the Dr. said we have one healthy baby! We are really anxious to see how much the baby will grow in 4 weeks time. The Dr. said there will be a pretty noticeable difference. Right now our baby is about the size of a hot tamale! It was so neat to see the little heart beating like crazy!! It took a long time for this to happen, but we couldn't be happier! We are thankful for the family prayers that were in our behalf and are so thankful to our Heavenly Father for allowing us this opportunity.

overdue

Sorry we haven't updated our blog in such a long time. Our camera hasn't been working and so I haven't been able to put up some pictures of the random things we have been doing. A quick update... the pigs have a new home out at mom and dad Findlay's. It doesn't look like they will be there for long though, they are both getting pretty big and about time to butcher! Butch and Roxi are getting excited about the warm weather. They love it when they can be out in the dirt and in the sun. I have some pictures of them I have been dying to show, so hopefully I can get the camera working. Kendall is pretty excited about the warm weather as well. We were able to buy a windshield for his motorcycle and he has been itching to drive it ever sense. Tonight was the first day it was warm enough, so Kendall took me on a ride out to feed the pigs. It was a little cold with the wind, but it felt great to be on the bike again. Summer can't come quick enough for our family!!

brinlen kay lamb

i was lucky enough to be with my friend when she had her baby! brinlen was born jan 5, 2009 at 9:07 pm. she was 6 pounds 9 ounces and 19 inches long. it was really neat to be there! i was a bit nervous because i haven't gone through it myself but she made it look really easy. i'm not near as nervous to have a baby as i used to be. i just hope it's as easy for me! these are some of the pictures i took for her. she is such a cutie!
