A couple days ago we woke up to a huge crash. Eric ran up stairs to find Jacob, our 2 year old, had thrown his computer on the wood floor and bend the power cord. Wew, Eric was able to fix the cord and the computer was still working. Yesterday night as we were working on Eric's Nevada Bar application he noticed his computer (which has almost everything he needs for his application saved on it) was freezing up more than normal so he restarted it and we called it a night and went went home to go to bed or at least tried to. We both had horrible insomnia--too many worries about getting this application post marked by Saturday (Feb 28th).
We got up early this morning, feeling a great deal of pressure, we only have three days left to finish up everything and Eric found Jacob laying on his computer POUNDING on it! Talk about panicking. Eric got him off the computer only to find it would not load up. We called my mom, who knows lots about computers, and she told Eric how he could get his Bar application document and the other vital information saved onto a memory stick. (Thanks SO much mom). It took us about an hour to get the computer to the point he could get to the needed documents, and thank heavens Eric was able to save them to the memory stick.
Eric's computer is out of commission for now :( and this computer problem set us back half a day but hopefully, somehow we will still make the deadline! :-/ After this is all over I need a spa visit or I will at least dream of having one. :)

It's a . . .
Well I haven't been real great at blogging lately. I have felt so tired and sick so a lot of things have fallen to the waste side but things are looking up and I am feeling much better now. For those of you who we haven't been able to reach about our great news, we are expecting our sixth baby, we are all pretty excited about it.
It has been wonderful for me being back in Utah to have a baby again. The doctors are so thorough here and pay such great attention to the problems I have. I will be seeing 3 doctors during this pregnancy, our regular doctor, a perinatalogist/high risk doctor--due to my age, which isn't that old but I have had some pretty scary pregnancies, and a neurologist due to the mini stroke I had a few years ago. It feels like I am in a doctors office all the time. I can't complain too much though it is wonderful being back in a place where they pay such great attention to any health problems that may arise.
Yesterday, Eric and I went to our Perinatalogist appointment he does an ultrasound every time we see him. Now that I am almost 17 weeks we were able to see if we were having a boy or girl. As a family we always take bets to see who can guess what the baby is and this time it looks like our little Rachel was right we are having a girl. Rachel has been adamant from the beginning of this pregnancy that she would have a baby sister. I remember when my mom was pregnant with her fourth I was sure I was going to get a little brother but my parents were sure they would be having their fourth girl. Wewhoo for all of us, we got my little brother Rob.
We have picked out a name and it looks like we will be naming her Rebekah Rose. Adam picked out Rebekah and I wanted to name her after my Grandma Rose Day who has been such a wonderful, loving influence to me throughout my life.
It will be so wonderful having a baby around again. Our little Jacob is turning two next week and although we all refer to him as our baby he talks up a storm and does all the great things a little two year old does. We will all love having a new baby girl to hold and love.
