A fun Christmas surprise!

I have no pictures of this Christmas. I forget my camera every time and thankfully my mom always has her camera ready to go so I have pictures but not with me.  This Christmas I was really excited to announce to my family that baby Welling #2 is on its way! I had my sister in law help me make a shirt that said big brother on it and I also put the ultrasound picture in an envelope.  We were with my family on Christmas Eve so I told them Weston had a present for them.  When they opened it they were so excited! They screamed! It was so fun to surprise them.  With Robby family we had Weston wear the shirt that said Big Brother on Christmas Day and they were equally as excited! Yeah for pregnancy! I really didn't think I would get pregnant this quick. I got my IUD out on October 10th and got pregnant November 7th.  We are very excited and can't wait to meet this little boy or girl.  I have been soooo sick this pregnancy.  With Wes I was sick here and there and this time around I have been sick all day long sometimes and I throw up a lot more, sometimes its 3 times a day so it has been rough.  But I am thankful!! I will find out the sex around the end of February.  Overall Christmas was very fun and a great time to remember the birth of Jesus Christ! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!! 

*oh so you know how you here stories where little kids will know the sex of the baby or know that their parents are pregnant?  Well Wes knew I was pregnant!! Before I found out I was pregnant Wes came up to me while I was laying down and pulled up my shirt and started to kiss and give hugs to my stomach and he kept saying "looooove".  I looked at Robby and said I must be pregnant, I took a test the next day and I was!! He has never done that before and hasn't done it since so I think in that moment he knew I was pregnant with his brother or sister!! Robby mom said it was his way of communicating that he knows he will be a big brother!! 

Halloween

Halloween came up so fast this year. I had great intentions of getting together a great costume but I just ran out of time.  My first idea was Weston was going to be a Bee and I was going to be a flower and then Rob was going to be the Bee Keeper but we ran out of time...But it was a lot of fun.  We went to Rob's sisters house because they give out the best treat ever! Homemade spud-nuts (donuts) They are divine and of course  Wes loves to see his cousins. It was a good Halloween and hopefully next year we will be a little more dressed up.

Baby Oh Baby

So its time for another Welling baby!! Its crazy I know.  About a month before I got pregnant with Weston I would ask Robby if it was time to have a baby and he would always say "no" and I would agree. Not time for a baby.  Well I would keep having this feeling that it was time for our little boy to come. I would have dreams about a little boy and I would always talk about boy names to friends and boy things.  But both me and Robby just ignored our feelings to have a baby and well the story is history and he came anyway.  When I found out I was pregnant I was 99 percent sure it was my little boy that I had kept dreaming about and thinking about.  We just love him to peices!!

So... about a month or two ago I had a dream about having a baby and have been thinking we needed to have a baby again this time I feel like its a girl..(I know I am creppy) But I really just want to finish school before I have another baby its already complicated enough.  I mentioned to Rob about a month ago "want to have another baby?" He was like "no" and I am like ya I think we should wait.  Well school started and I just keep having these feelings to have another baby but I just decided to keep them to myself because I thought I was crazy.  School is pretty intense this semester and when I get into the nursing program it will only get worse. So I made a final decison in my head to NOT have another baby till I am done.  Just as I had made the decision I got a call from a nurse at work to come in and get my second round of Hep B shot. (Its required).  So its the first time I met this nurse and I was just asking to her about her nusring and blah blah.  Well she said that when she went through nursing school she had TWO children and also had to work full time and watch kids on the side of that.  She said that going through nursing school with kids is 100 percent do-able as long as you have a dedicated dad and husband who will support you all the way through..Well thats Robby right there.  So then began the thoughts of having a baby.  I still didn't say anything to Robby because I wanted to see if these feelings wents away.  Well one Sunday Robby went to church by himself.   He later told me that when he was sitting in church he looked at this little girl and had a feeling come to him that said "It is time to have another baby!" When Rob told me this I cried because I was happy and mad all at the same time. I don't really want another kid right now but I am happy to know that we are both having these feelings about our little baby.  So....there is no point ingoring it now. We ignored the feeling with Weston and he came anyway so I am getting off birth control and are going to start trying.  We have faith that the Lord knows what he is doing:)  This past conference was another answer to our feelings as well.  Several talks about having families and having children and not waiting till your finacially ready or done with school. 

1 Year Old

1 YEAR PICTURES!! Thanks Chelsey Shaw for taking them! They turned out great!

 We really have been so blessed to have such a happy baby! He smiles at everything!

1 YEAR OLD!!!

Weston turned 1 year old on September 7th! I can't believe this little guy is 1! We celebrated his party a couple weeks ago to get it out of the way before school got crazy. He had a lot of fun and got some fun toys and clothes! Thanks everyone for coming and being apart of Weston party!!  We sure do love this little guy and he keeps us laughing not stop!! Here are some things he is doing lately
-Gives loves and kisses
-Prefers his Dad!
-Was off the bottle at 11 months but still loves his binky
-Already a teaser
-Sleeps from 7:30 p.m. to 8 a.m (is it bad that I love bedtime?)
-Laughs when I tell him NO
-Will say "ya ya ya" when you ask him any question
-Takes about 5 steps and then prefers to crawl because he is quicker
-Loves little kids, screams when ever he sees them (we make friends all the time when we go shopping...sometimes its a little akward for me..)
-Anytime he hears music he stops and will just dance
-Has 2 teeth!
-Lactose intolerant

Here a a few pics from his party

So I got this birthday book for everyone to sign that came..I also decided to have me and Robby write a letter to him in the back of the book.. Robby thought it was funny and silly (boys). He was like "so when he is 18 are we going to show him this letter infront of all his friends".  Yes Robby I will do just that!  

Weston loved the silly GUMMY BEAR SONG for like his first year of life so I thought it was fitting to do a Gummy Bear Cake! Thanks Afton for making this great smash cake. She is so talented

 Some of my best friends came! Its so fun to see them

 He didn't really "dive" into the cake. He was very dainty about it.  That big hole you see in his cake is because we shoved his hand into it! haha

Here is to another great year! I love you Weston!!!

Thankful

I work for hospice right now and we have a case that is just so sad.  It a 23 year old that has luekemia.  He had a transplant a couple months ago I guess but it didn't work.  His luekemia is back so now they will let it takes its course. On top of this person being only 23 years old he has a wife and a brand new baby. His baby is a week old.  Him and his wife got pregnant and then after found out about his cancer.  It is just so tragic. Most hospice cases I deal with are elderly people. It is still very sad when they pass but it is more of a happy/sad feeling if you know what I mean.  A lot of my patients are ready to go and are in so much pain.  With this case it is just so sad. It hits so close to home for me.  I am just 23 and have a little boy as well.  Ahh, I just can't imagine. I am just so thankful for my life and I hope that I never have to go through what this sweet family is going through right now. I am just so thankful for the gospel knowing that there is life after death and one day this sweet family will be together again.  Working for hospice has really made me realize that life really is so precious and to cherish everyday and to be grateful for all the things I have!

Love Love Love

This year has been the year of love!! My good friend Rachel got married and then right after a close cousin Lacia got married and then right after that my brother Nick got married to his high school sweetheart Amber!! Its so fun to witness all of these weddings. Love truly is a beautiful thing! I think I cried at every wedding ceremony.  I remember when I got married I woke up that day and didnt even care what my hair looked like or if I had a zit. I was just so happy!!! Anyways...August must be the month to get married in Utah, I have 7 wedding invites on my fridge right now! Crazy! Happy Love:) 

Beautiful Rachel

This picture brings back so many memories. I am so grateful for my life!

New Job

I currently work for a Home Health and Hospice company as a PRN which means on call or as needed basis.  Lately I have not been getting really any hours because they lost a patient that was like 30 hrs a week so that CNA gets all the on calls and I am there if she can't take it.  I decided to look into other jobs.  I applied for a CNA position at Intermountain and was called for an interview. As I went to the interview the manager lady had to run somewhere for 2 hrs real quick so I interviewed with the lady who is over volunteers.  Whenever I go to interviews I also like to get a look at what kind of competition.  They were hiring one person and doing over 30 interviews.  As I walked away I knew I would not get the job because I have little experience and I didn't even get to interview with the manager.  Well to my surprise I got offered the job and I am very excited to start.  Its hard to get on at intermountain because it is super cometetive and they can be very picky.  I will work 16 hrs a week and it will be perfect because I will have a set income! Yeah for jobs!!!
