Arrghh....

July 4- Matt gets home just in time to put on a great firework show for us. It was entertaining to watch Matt and Juan run around the yard in the dark lighting fireworks.
July 5- Our 3rd Anniversary headed to Portland had a very nice dinner and walked around the city.
July 6- Matt goes fishing with Matt Boudia Kayla and I head out to do some shopping! We visit Todd and Kallen and new baby Rylan.
July 7- Head back to Marysville then back to Quincy. Juan came with us.
July 9- Will and Nicole Derting get hitched! The wedding was beautiful! Mom and Dad made it back from North Dakota, stop by the house to see Jacoby and hang out with Juan.
July 10- I was feeling a little off all day, not sure how to explain it but I just was not feeling normal. Matt headed to Spokane for a conference for work. I Went to the ER at the Quincy hospital to have my blood pressure checked, it was high. They basically told me to get out of this hospital and call labor and delivery. They are a small hospital and they DO NOT deliver babies! I then went to the fire station to see if they could check it as well, they did twice and it was still high so they encouraged me to call labor and delivery as well. I went home and called the on call dr. He told me to either come in that afternoon (Sunday) or call my dr first thing Monday morning. With my mom, dad and grandma at my house as well as Juan I knew that Jacoby would be taken care of, so sunday evening my mom and I took off to Moses Lake for some monitoring and blood work. Monitoring was great and blood work came back ok, but not great so they sent me home and told me to keep my dr appt with my regular dr on wednesday. My mom and dad left on Monday morning leaving Grandma with me to help with Jacoby.
July 13- Regular dr appt, She took one look at me and said to go to the hospital for and ultrasound and they would call me to tell me what to do next. I went to the hospital they did my ultrasound and I went home. Got a phone call telling me to go back to the hospital on friday for another ultrasound and monitoring, and that I would probably be having the baby that weekend. I said ok and hung up the phone. Received another phone call right after that from the nurse telling me they changed their mind and I needed to go to the hospital on Thursday. Matt got home that evening, we chatted about my appt and the one the next day.
July 14- We got to the hospital around 10am. I got checked in and up to Labor and Delivery. They got me in a room and all hooked up to the monitors. Ultrasound came in and did my ultrasound, lab came in and did my blood work. Matt ran a few errands in Moses Lake. About 12:45 the nurse came in and told me that my labs were not good and that I would be having my csection that day! I called Matt he called all the family and he came back to the hospital. At about 4pm they got me all ready to head to the OR and at 4:45 pm Makinsey Jo Tait was born. 11 lbs. 10 oz. 22 inches long. Our parents did not make it for the birth but they were there within a few hours.
July 17- We were released from the hospital. My dad and Angela left on the 16th to go home, but my mom and grandma were still there to help me!
July 18-22 Is a blur! It was wonderful having my mom and grandma here to help me. Matt and Juan did great with Jacoby. My dad came back on friday the 22nd to hang out and get my mom and grandma. They left on the 23rd.
July 24- Matts grandparents Dean and Ella came over to see us and help me around the house. Matt left today to go to Lind for harvest. Dean and Ella helped me clean the house top and bottom and helped me get the last few things packed. They left on the 27th.
July 29- Mom, dad and Grandma came back over to help with the big move. Angela also got here to help as well.
July 30- Load trailer and get as much stuff out of the house as we can. Only the necessary items stay. Matt come home from Lind to help with the move as well.
July 31- We MOVE! With the help of family and friends it was done! I took the roll of directions person during the unloading process. My parents and grandma headed home after we got everything moved in.
Now into August!
Aug 1- Angela and Juan leave- the first time it is just our family of 4!
Aug 1-5 Matt stays busy all week doing things around the house. Trimming tress, spraying weeds, cleaning up some garbage left. I try to get the house in some order. Bedrooms and kitchen first then the "daycare" area of the house, all while having a newborn who is nursing like crazy and a 22 month old who loves to help and get into things he probably shouldn't be getting into!
Aug 6- Staci's birthday! Jacoby went for his first tube ride behind a boat (with dad of course!)We had a blast roasting weenies on an open fire.
Aug 7- more work around the house
Aug 8- LarsonAllen had a family bowling night so the 4 of us headed there. Jacoby was able to bowl for the first time. He enjoyed that as well, but Matt and I agree that it is a lot of work to take him bowling right now. Matt headed back to Lind to finish harvest. (The Millers rented his combine out to the neighbors for the past week that is why he was able to be home with us for so long in the middle of harvest! It could not have been at a better time!)
Aug 9- my first day home with 2 kids! and it was a success! I need to continue working on the "daycare" area of the house so I am ready when the licensor comes out! It is a little difficult to balance 2 kids and trying to get an area of the house up to the state standards! I should probably be working on that rather than sitting here typing this. (that is why it has taken me 3 days to get this done to be posted!)

Life is always packed full of things to do and people to see! My Aunt, Uncle, Grandma and Mom will be back this next weekend to visit. Now that I am home I will get better about this blog thing! (You've heard that before!)

Once again...

I am horrible at this blogging thing...

June 1st Jacoby turned 20 months old. It is crazy to think that in just 4 short (busy!) months we will have a 2 year old.

I am 32 weeks pregnant today. That means in 8 weeks we will have a baby. It will actually be sooner than that, but we have yet to get the for sure date. Baby Girl Tait is doing great. She is measuring on the big side, but that is to be expected due to my diabetes. I am being taken out of work as of June 17. That will be my last day having to travel 45 miles to and from work each day. It will also be Jacobys last day of daycare. We have enjoyed having him with Allison, and all the kids, but it will be nice to spend some time with him one on one before his little sister arrives.

The annual Lind Combine Demo Derby is this next weekend, which means lots of friends, lots of catching up and hopefully another win for Team Jaws... My mom and dad will be coming over with their motorhome to enjoy the weekend with us and to help out with Jacoby. Dave and Angela will also be in attendance. Angela and Juan spent Memorial Day weekend with Jacoby and us. It was nice to see them and have the extra hands to entertain the little boy.

We planted a garden at the house we will be moving into August 1. I haven't been out to see it but Matt said it looked good the last time he was out there. I attended an Orientation put on by the Department of Early Learning to start the application process of getting an in home daycare set up. I will not be returning to work after Baby Girl Tait arrives, but will be working from home caring for our kids and a few others.

I know I say this every time, but eventually I will get better at posting more often!

Have a great weekend!
