Hello all. I am sure you all thought that I probably had just given up on this whole blogger thing, but time just got away from me that's all. Luckily Ana has been doing a pretty good job of updating you all on our lives also. Well hopefully this will be a start to being back to updating more regularly, but no promises.
Well a lot has happened since our last blog so I will try my hardest to update everything I can think of without making this a novel and a half. We are all staying very busy here in Logan, UT. Mike is still working for Hy-Clone, which is now called ThermoFisher, which is the same company that Ana works for, but they never see each other, totally different jobs. Mike works in the production part of things. He will be coming up on his 6 month mark this week, so for a job we thought might just be a pit stop is lasting a little longer than we thought. Mike works the 2-10:30 shift Monday-Friday. It's hard for him because in the mornings while he is home he doesn't have time to spend with just Reighlyn and I and then by the time he gets home we are both in bed. We have been looking around for a different job for a couple of months. He has applied for a couple within the company which would have the 8-5 hours that he would be happy with so we could have the evenings together. Mike is still plugging away at school, which will be starting up here at the end of August so our summer break is almost over.
I am staying pretty busy for saying I quit my job to enjoy the easy life of being a stay at home mom. I am currently watching Ana's two kids, some weeks its everyday, and some I only have them a couple of days. I am also watching a little girl on Thursday's who just turned 6 months from 8-4. So my days are very full with 2 to 3 kids under the age of 1 and then one 2 year old. Addison has mastered the potty though which makes for one less diaper I have to change which is great when you are changing 3 different butts a day. Addison is quite the helper though, she is very good at bringing me diapers, wipes, toys, holding bottles for baby's, throwing diapers away and most of all entertaining them by standing on the couch and singing her little heart out to every song she knows. It keeps the baby's laughing most of the time. But she is also good at screaming at the top of her lungs when I just got all the baby's to sleep and waking them up. Oh well, what do you except from a 2 year old, right? In the midst of watching children all day I have recently started working from home doing data entry. I have only done it for about a week, but works out pretty well for the most part. Last week I worked a little over 10 hours, which is about perfect for my time schedule. I just bring the kids up with me to the office where I have set up a little TV and DVD player and have toys and they just watch Baby Einstein and play while I work on the computer. If we are having a bad day, I just wait till the kids are gone and Reighlyn is down for her afternoon nap and then get a couple of hours in. Mike has been very good about helping on the days I have deadlines also. The newest news is that we are excepting our second child. I am about 16 weeks along, so we are due in January, but I am hoping when we have our ultrasound on the 30th of August they will surprise us and say it will be December 30th or something. This pregnancy has been a VERY hard one compared to Reighlyn. I only threw up twice with Reighlyn and one of those times was due to car sickness and the other was a bad reaction to medication. With this one I am still throwing up pretty regularly. I have actually lost 5 pounds since being pregnant, which is good I guess since my doctor only wants me to gain 15 pounds, to try and have a small enough baby that I won't have to have a C-section. Since I have been so sick Mike and I are both thinking it is a boy, which is what Mike REALLY wants. I have pros and cons to it being a boy. The pros are if it is then we will be the first on the Wright side with a boy, and on the Ashton side we would be the first to have a boy to carry on the Ashton name, also that means I get to do a lot of shopping for baby clothes and shoes! The cons are I would have to do a lot of shopping for clothes and shoes which means spending a lot of money, but we will be happy with whatever the Lord has blessed us with. So we will keep you all posted when we find out what it is.
Reighlyn, where do I begin? She is defiantly growing up way too fast. I can't believe she will be 9 months this Thursday. She has now master crawling and is loving every minute of it. She can follow Addison where ever she goes along with following mom everywhere which is what she was so unhappy about for awhile. But instead of just crawling and enjoying that she has decided to start climbing and things and pulling herself up on to everything it seems. Yesterday I was in the kitchen doing dishes and the next thing I know she has used the handles on the drawers to stand herself up and was opening the draw to play with the bottles. Then of course she feel down and hurt herself, but that didn't stop her from doing it again. She has also decided that all of the buttons on the sound system, dvd player, tivo are fun to push especially when mom says no and moves her away, she just crawls herself right back over. She is in the process of cutting her first teeth. The bottom two are just about in along with her two top teeth. Needless to say when those come in we will be done breastfeeding. Which will be good that there will be a little break between the two so Reighlyn doesn't try to go back to breastfeeding when the new baby comes. Her hair is starting to turn blonde more and more it seems. It is also getting pretty long on the top, now we just need it to start growing on the sides and in the back, but until then we will just wear a lot of pigtails and whale spouts.
Alright I think that is a good enough update for now I will post some pictures on here so you all can see how big Reighlyn is getting.
