1st Week Home

Well, it has been one week that we have had our sweet little girl. Every day we notice something new about her and we see more and more of her personality come out each day. When she is awake she is so alert and loves to stare into our eyes. She is sort of a spaz and it is really funny to watch her sometimes. She has been such a good baby and only wakes up 2 maybe 3 times a night and she doesnt cry when she wakes up she just makes sweet little noises to let us know to come and get her. It has been just great! 1st Halloween. Clint was a judge at school and at Pasta, we took Molly there to eat dinner. She looked so cute in her "Boo" Jammies and her first Halloween outfit that she wore Monday.

Molly's first bath, Grandma got to do the honors and Molly hated every second of it. She peed in the bathtub and then all over the towel, she sure showed us I guess! She smelled so good and now she actually doesnt mind the bath too much and loves to lay around in her diaper.
Clint is such a good little daddy, you can just see the love for his little girl in his eyes, he rushes home at his lunch time just to see and hold her for even a few minutes. He is so good with her and I love watching him with her he is perfect.

Molly J. Broadhead

Most everyone knows our sweet baby is here, I finally got some good pictures and there will probably be new ones up everyday for the first little bit especially because we have family everywhere and we want to share her sweet face with everyone. She is so cute and sleeps really good we got 6 hours of sleep last night and a lot of the day she is alert and awake checking everyone out. She eates pretty well and is just as sweet as could be. She loves her car seat and absolutly loves to rock and snuggle. I am so glad I got a snuggler, because I love to snuggle. She is just perfect and so sweet. She wants to say hi to everyone and even has cracked a couple of smiles, I know they are just from gas, but it is still adorable. These are pictures of some people with our Molly Moo and some sweet ones of just her.

This past Weekend

Well, as of Friday the 19th our baby girl was due, but she has yet to make an appearance. Matt and Abbey came down and we were hoping that she would come before or while they were here so they could see her. She is on her own time. If she is not here by next friday we will be enduced so either way she'll be here by then. Although that part of the weekend was a dive we had a ton of fun. While Matt and Abbey were here we just hung out we went to the Snow Canyon Football game for a bit and then we had a big dinner. Saturday we played card games and went to Matts movie premiere of "Blood-O-Ween" at the Electric theatre and ate dinner at Pasta Factory. After all that fun stuff Clint's mom and I went shopping at Wal-Mart to put a Halloween costume together for Clint. It was so much fun becauce Clint had no idea what we were doing or putting together, we will just have to see if he'll actually wear it. I cant wait to see him in the full costume for his first Halloween Parade at school, after Halloween we will put some pictures up:). Aside from the baby not coming it was a great weekend and we had so much fun just spending time with eachother and family. Now its wait time for that sweet slice of heaven to come and join our family and make us our own little family:). ( The pictures are just random from things me and Clint have done)

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting

I know this whole thing is dragging on, but hey babies come on their own time not when you want them to come right? We are still set on our sweet baby coming on her due date just so that we don't get too anxious which is very hard. I have started to have contractions and things are progressing quite nicely just not fast enough to make anything HUGE happen. Its okay though because each day she is in there she is growing more and more. Everyone is down this weekend so they all want her to come like today. My sister is coming down next week and my sister in law the next week so hopefully she comes soon so everyone can see her before they all come down for the holidays. We will just have to see what that sweet baby has in mind. So Abbey lets just hope Molly comes before you guys get here so you can see her. Clint is getting very anxious about the whole thing and becoming really nervous for what is going to happen and just the nerves of us getting to the hospital on time is enough to drive one crazy. It is such an unknown and mysterious event that neither one of us has experienced so it does make it a little scary. Everything will be ok and we will know what to do, but it is still very surreal.

3 weeks...

Wow! We had another Dr. appointment today and got nothing but good news. It was so much fun to hear her sweet little heart beat and feel her move around as the Dr. measured my belly. She is moving less, but at the same time there just isnt much room left in there. I have started to dialate and she has dropped down ward, so she is working on comin out who knows how long it could go the whole 3 weeks, or she could decide she wants me to see her sooner :) It is so fun to listen to Clint because he is getting more and more excited and he says the cutest things like today he said hopefully in about 2 weeks my life will be paradise with my new little baby girl. It was so sweet, I cant wait to see him with our precious little girl. Thats the latest baby news and now we are just waiting we have just about everything ready and just get to wait and let me tell you the suspense is killing us and especially the grandma's in the mix.

Ecuador

Holy Cow! I can't believe it I have been back from Ecuador for just about 2 years now and I can't believe how fast the time flies. There isnt a day that goes by that I don't think of those precious little children that I had the opportunity to help and in turn they helped me in a much bigger way. Every now and then I have dreams about my little children over there in that small country of Ecuador. I love to look at the pictures of their sweet faces. How could you not look into their eyes and fall in love instantly. If you were to have a bad day and then look at one of their smiling faces and into those big dark eyes it makes the whole day happy again. How could your heart just not melt when you see their sweet little faces? They are the sweetest children and I hope and pray they know how much they are loved and how special they are to so many people. Oh, my sweet sweet children.

These are just a few pictures of the sweet faces of the little children in Ecuador.

This is a bunch of pictures from the waterfalls and the Continental Divide in Ecuador of course.

These are just a bunch of random places around Ecuador: Soccer Game, Around the Town, The Guyaquil Temple(i know thats not spelled right).

Baby Shower!!!!

Well we had our baby shower last weekend. It was so much fun! We got a ton of sweet presents and they were all so darling I wish she was here right now so that we could dress her up in all her fun new clothes. She is getting so big which inturn is making me get so big.. O WELL! A lot of people came and we just chatted and opened presents it was really relaxed and just fun to be there. Maggie and Becky put it all together and did a fantastic job, everything was so cute and fun. Now we just have to wait for her to come so she can use all this fun stuff. We only have about 6 1/2 weeks left and can hardly stand it. She is kicking and moving so much lately and the best is when she gets the hic-ups. It is just so fun!

The Start of Something New

Okay it has been almost a month since my last post. Life has been crazy we are trying to get ready for the baby and now that Clint has started school it has slowed down maybe just a little. He is teaching 4th grade at Sunset Elm. and has a class of about 25 kids who are all really cute and not too difficult (atleast not yet). He loves teaching and even though he is exhausted he has a lot of fun.
We only have 8 weeks until our baby girl is due which is not long at all hopefully she will come in like 6 weeks that would be even better. It is so fun to get the baby stuff and put it together, we have her craddle up and stroller and car seat are ready to go. The anticipation is killing the both of us and we can hardly stand it (neither can our parents)
I have just been tending during school hours and it is really fun I tend 3 2 1/2 year olds a 5 year old when she is not in kindergarten and it is really fun to listen to their little conversations and imaginations. I love it.

Tests....

Okay so these past 2 weeks we have basically been playing the waiting game. We go to our next Dr. Appointment on the 7th and then from then on it is an appointment every 2 weeks. Last week I had to get a 1hour glucose tolerance test to check whether I have gestational diabities(it is a routine test for everyone to get) Well my dr office called me and I failed of course just our luck this whole pregnancy. So today I am in the middle of getting a 3 hour glucose test and they have to draw my blood 4 seperate times and it is really getting quite annoying. After today we will know whether or not I have the gestational diabities which basically means I will be diabetic until the baby is born, but after that go back to normal.

We have gotten into Clints classroom finally and are starting to set little things up here and there and get him as organized as possible. He has been going to meetings since monday from 830-4 and will continue to do so until the 8th when he goes and meets at Sunset and has meetings and what not there until school starts the 15th. I start tending again on the 8th as well so we are trying to get last minute things all finished up before then. We hope everyone else is doing well and enjoying their summers.
