1 year ago today...

We go from this...

to this...

Man how time flies!!!! It's been forever since I have posted, sorry if anyone is still out there reading or wanting to read about our lives! We have just been busy raising the little one and with the holidays! We got to go to Colorado for Thanksgiving so Luke's family could meet Autumn and we had a blast! She did awesome in the car! I want to post some recent pictures but all of my favorite ones I have to wait (til after X-mas so we don't ruin presents!!!) I promise I will update at the end of the week and post some pictures of our little one!!

Quick prayer request....I went to my dr. for a 1 month post op a couple weeks ago and she said I was still inflamed inside and possibility of infection so I have to go back in 2 weeks to see if it is still inflamed. If so, I will have to be put on antibiotics. Please pray that my body continues and will heal up on its own! Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and to all of you like us, have fun with your baby's 1st Christmas!!!! Love you all! Until next time...

What a week

Well, I haven't really came up with a conclusion, but somehow, some way, I did something wrong and still haven't figured it out. I don't remember breaking any mirrors, walking under a ladder, or opening up an umbrella inside, but apparently I did something to bring bad luck!! I recieved a call this past week from our bank's fraud department asking if we had wired money twice to anybody. Ummmm.....no! So I went online to check it out while on the phone and somehow someone got into our bank account and wired, not $100 or $200, BUT $6,000 out of our checking account to someone in North Carolina. WHAT????? Awesome! So thankfully I was at my parents house when I got the call visiting them and Autumn was napping, so I went straight to the bank and closed out our account and opened a new one. So this past week I have been busy cancelling our credit card, calling everyone to give them our new information, and putting an alert on credit report. The jerks managed to get into our account through Luke's online account to do this, how you ask? That is a great question!!! Luckily we have not had anything else suspicious come up so hopefully this is the only thing that they did. They were able to stop the 2nd wired transaction before it went out, but unable to do the first transaction. We will definitely get our money back which is a blessing! Hopefully they will find this moron and put his rear in jail!

On a good note....we had a good Halloween! Autumn did great in her costume! We went to a fall festival at my parents church to see everyone and to trunk and treat with the cousins! Here is a peek of Autumn, our lil sweet pea!

Now I'm trying to get everything done around the house and packed up to AGAIN move in with my parents for a few days when I have my surgery this week so they can help me take care of Autumn since I don't know how long recovery time will be. They say I can not heavy lift for 4 weeks, so Autumn better slow down and start stretching out so she won't hit the weight limit mark!!! hehe I love my little chunker! Well, hope you all have a wonderful week! Until next time...

Can you believe it???

Another updated blog post! Holy Cow! I can't believe it myself, and yes it is me updating, I didn't hire someone to do so! We went to Autumn's 2 month check up today and she now weighs 12 lb. 5 oz. (85%) and is 23 in. long (75%). We got a little chunker on our hands! She is nice and healthy! We got the go ahead for her to start sleeping on her belly which she is doing for the first time by herself right now taking a nap and I have to say, it is the greatest thing EVER!!! We have started putting her down awake and making her put herself to sleep for naps and there was great screaming throughout the house for a few minutes and she would wake up every now and then crying, but now on her belly...I put her down and she was out in 2 minutes flat with little fussing cause she wasn't use to being on her belly and I haven't heard a peep in 2 hours!!! Tonight will be our first night to take the very last feeding away and put her down earlier and have her sleep through the night without us going in there til morning. Wish us luck!!! She is actually a really good sleeper so (knock on wood) I hope it isn't a bad transitioning night. Well, hope you all have a great weekend! Until next time...

Well, I met with the dr. and surgery is set for Nov. 6. She can do it laproscopically (sp?) which is good, but the only risk is that since it is so big, she said if she can't see a certain portion of my ovary tissue that she will have to take my ovary as well. So we are praying that she can see what she needs to and only has to take the cyst. She said the cyst does look simple by the pictures, nothing to be suspicious of (cancerous) which is great news! So now, it's time to store up as much milk as I can since I have to do the most depressing thing...pump and dump.

A few more pics!

Here are a few pics that we took last week when Luke's sister was here visiting from Seattle!

God is keeping it interesting!

Just a quick update, God is keeping us on our toes and doesn't want things to get boring around here. I went to the doctor today for a final ultrasound to see about my cyst that they had found on my ovary at the beginning of the pregnancy to see if it had shrunk. Well the results were that it actually got bigger and is now 6.7 cm big and now I have to have surgery. The ultrasound tech said the cyst wasn't simple, but not complex, somewhere in the middle (whatever that means!!) I don't know the date yet, I have to meet with the doctor next week to talk about everything. So please keep us in your prayers and I will keep everyone updated! Love to all! Until next time...
