Spiritual Experience

So Josh and i had a very spiritual experience we wanted to share with you all and for the records.

Some day in march i had this really strong feeling that there was another baby that was suppose to be coming soon and I needed to talk to Josh about it! It really freaked me out and just thought it was just my hormones and the thought of my baby turning 1 soon! I was so not ready for ANOTHER baby!!! So i ignored it and it just kept nagging at me and nagging at me! Finally after 2 weeks, i could hardly think straight, so i waited until Josh was home and was fed and relaxed, i told him i needed to talk to him, i was very nervous because i knew he was going to think i was crazy and probably freak out. His reaction was what i thought it would be! He said, "what? it is too early! Houston just barely turned 1! that is crazy!" I said back calmly, "I know josh trust me when i say i am really not ready for a baby so soon! I don't want another baby yet! But i just can't shake this feeling, it's been bugging me for 2 weeks and i have been avoiding you because i knew how you were going to react! Will you at least pray about it and make sure you have the same answer please?" he calmed down because i started to cry a little and he began to tell me if this is what was suppose to happen then we will stop preventing pregnancy and let it happen on it's own. he said he would pray about it and let me know.

Well a few days later, josh comes home and he says, "Hey..... so you want another baby?" My response was, "No, but i feel like there is a baby that is suppose to be coming soon, why?" He began to tell me that he had one of those slow days and had time to think about things and he said i was right, he had the same feeling and that we weren't going to try, we were just going to let it happen on it's own, i agreed.

1 month later, i was feeling sick to my stomach, extremely tired and had a lot of fatigue! I just assumed i was over working myself and just needed some rest. The stomach aches started randomly, and i was getting really bad head aches, and thought i maybe had the touch of a stomach bug because its been going around. Well on mother's day i had really bad lower back pain, and felt very sick so we left my mom's i had a really weird feeling to take a pregnancy test, before i went to bed, i remembered not to argue with strong feelings like that, i had to go to the bathroom anyway and had a test on hand anyway, so i took it. I went to get a drink of water to take some tylenol and 3 minutes later went to check the test assuming it'd be negative, it wasn't! I looked at it and almost choked on my water! I sat there and cried for a few minutes to myself. asking myself how i was going to tell josh, IF i should tell josh. then put the test in my back pocket, gave josh a kiss and said "Thank you for the Mother's Day gift, i really wasn't expecting this so soon!" handed him the test and he says, "what is this?!" i told him to read it 2 lines means pregnant!" and he says, "you are lying! where did you get this?!" i laughed and told him i just took it and it is real, and he was speechless. I told him that this was as soon as it get's and asked what we were going to do? and he reminded me we didn't have a lot of money when we had Braiden and we made it, we lived with my parents living pay check to pay check and we had houston and made it just fine. He said this is obviously meant to be and everything will work out just fine, we will be taken care of.

So it is true, I am pregnant with #3! I am very scared but i am putting all of my faith into my heavenly father because he is the only one that knows the plan for us! My main concerns right now is, how am i going to fit 3 car seats in my little honda? it won't work i have tried fitting 3 car seats in there when i was babysitting a friends baby, and it just didn't work! Josh said he is going to try and get me a new car before we go to AZ for thanksgiving. Yes we are no longer going to AZ in december for christmas and new years because i am due JANUARY 13, 2012! So we are coming in November for thanksgiving! Another concern is Houston. he is my baby, he is so attached to me how will he do not being the baby anymore? and having to share me? Where we going to put another baby? I just have to remember that this is meant to be, Houston will be fine with another brother or a sister and he will be so good to the baby and me. And obviously the baby will stay in mine and josh's room for the first 4 months and hopefully we will be into a house by then, or at least a bigger appartment. We shall see, i know everything will work out and fall into place when it is time, but i have to admit, not having a plan and not knowing what's going to happen, and being in control of things makes me nervous and a little crazy at times, but i have my rock (josh) reminding me it will be ok. he just knows everything will be ok! He is my better half and this is why we are so strong, because we help eachother through everything.

Besides that i am feeling pretty good, little sick randomly and emotional, but i feel great! We weren't going to tell anyone until my first appointment, but i went to arizona and people figured it out because i've put on a lot of weight and i'm already showing! First appointment will be coming soon, still trying to figure insurance crap out! I am just over 7 weeks now and will keep you all updated! Wish us luck! we're gonna need it!

the tests

Swimming!!!

Swimming Time!!!

i got this little pool at walmart! It was super hot outside and Braiden asked if i would take him swimming. i told him i had too many things to do at home so i couldn't then we saw the plastic pools outside of walmart and said, hey why don't i buy you a little pool and you can swim at home while i get my stuff done! and he was super excited! So it was interesting trying to get this 45 in pool into the back of my little honda civic but we did it and it took about 20 minutes to fill it up with the sink water and buckets! but it was well worth it! I got my stuff done while i watched the boys out the glass door and they had a blast and stayed out of my hair! I got my stuff done so quick i had time to sit and watch them swim outside on our little porch!

It was well worth the $10 i must say!

When it was time to get out and eat dinner, Braiden didn't fight me, shocking i know, but houston, good heavens that child screamed at me and threw a really big fit and refused to eat dinner and everything! i felt to bad, and josh kept telling me not to give in. Josh ended up going to baseball practice and took braiden with him so i let houston swim again after he ate some rice and he was happy again, but getting him out when it was getting dark was the same but i did put him in a warm bath right after i took him out, so he was ok after that! He is a funny kid, he doesn't have a hard time getting out of the bath the but has a really hard time when it's time to get out of their little pool! What a character! let's just say, he slept good last night!!!

Josh Groban Concert!

My Mom, Grandma, my friend Stephanie, and I went to the Josh Groban concert in Houston on May 14th! It was amazing!!!!

2 thumbs up!

Yes i would totally kiss this face!
Me and Steph waiting for the show to start! Sorry before hand, we didn't know we could use our flashes on our cameras so the picture quality is terrible
Mom and I, and steph stealing our picture lol she cracks me up!

The opening act, i can't remember his name but is was awesome at the piano! He played all kinds of things! and like 8 different melody's really cool! and he made me laugh because he was a head banger piano player and he didn't use a bench at all, he just played in a lunge position! his legs had to have been hurting when he was done!

then all of a sudden out of no where josh groban comes out 13 stairs away from us!!! walking to the stage, i scramble for my camera and saw my phone on my lap, got ready to take a picture of him so clase and my mom says, "aw man of course i have my camera off!" them bumped my arm right when i took the picture and it was blurry! so i didn't get a picture of him really close to us but i did get a few of him on the stage that was closer than the big stage!

of course i had to get a butt shot! he is so dang cute!!!

Then we noticed that everyone was using their flashes so i turned mine on and got way better pictures!!!

then he started going down the stairs while he sang to us! I wish i would have paid the extra $20 to be on the floor so i could have been even closer to him!!

I love his shoes in the above picture!

Then he got on the big stage and my pictures kind of suck because we were so far back! but i still had a great time!

He was quite the commedian! he was really really funny!

he even brought people from the floor on to the stage to have milk with him! on blow up couches!!! I was very jealous!!! I would have totally loved to touch him or even be that close to him, but it was a great show! He had 3 encores! and finally sang "you raise me up" as his last song, i was so happy! I wanted to record the whole song but my camera was full with our primary kids videos for their teacher appreciation night, i was a little bummed but i got a good part! i am so glad we got to go! not a lot of people here in texas know who josh groban even is, and the toyota center wasn't even that full of people! it was nice! Happy mother's day present to me mom grandma and stephanie!!! yay!!!

Mother's Day

I have the sweetest boys ever! They made me some awesome mother's day gifts in primary and Houston went to nusery with my friend denise even though he isn't suppose to be in there until october, she begs me to let him go with her, so he goes which is nice for josh to listen to the lessons in his classes and i can focus on braiden in primary!

Braiden made this card with his cute little hand print on it!

this is what the card says inside!
Also during sharing time he made me this oven mit, green is his favorite color so he picked green, he drew a picture on the front...

and his teacher helped him write happy mother's day on the back! isn't that just so sweet?!

Then Houston made this in nusery with Miss Denise!

i just love my little gifts from my kids! It really reminds me why i am so lucky to be a mom! I really enjoy being a mom!

Besides the gifts i got, Josh had the apartment all clean so i didn't have to do anything, he made me a very yummy omelette for lunch! Just what i wanted! Then we went to my mom's for dinner and awaited for Colten's phone call!!! I got to talk to him for about 15 minutes and enjoyed every minute of it! He is doing so good! josh also got a personal call from JD because we couldn't hear him over the phone through another phone on speaker, so he was really lucky he got that! It was a very good day!

My sweet boys!
Houston 13 months!

Braiden 3 1/2 years

Happy Mother's Day to all those specail Mom's in my life!!! Love you all! I hope everyone had a wonderful day!!!

The Newest Member of the Jarvis Family

Here is the newest member of our family his name is Rafael! Josh told Braiden he would get him a pet for christmas and just kept putting it off and so we decided one day when josh got home early from work to go to petsmart and see what pet he wanted and we went to look at the fish and he saw the turtles and fell in love with them, so that's what we got and he picked which turtle he wanted and everything! Rafael eats like a champ! We have already bought about 70 goldfish and we only have 6 left. he is getting pretty fat and wont eat anything but live bait! so i go to petsmart to get 20 more fish every 4 days. He has turned out more maintenance than we expected but we do love to watch him swim and eat. Braiden feeds him everyday and loves to watch him swim in the bath tub when lucky mom get's to clean his tank!

Welcome to the family Rafael!

13 months!

Houston is 13 months! He is getting so big it's crazy!!! i can't believe how fast he is grown up!

Houston loves about everything! He is such a character too! He loves to be the center of attention and when he doesn't get what he wants he screams like a little girl and when i look at him and tell him to stop he tries to flutter his eyes and smiles with his most cheesiest smile! Yes he sure knows how to push my buttons and still make me smile! Josh tells me all the time to not give in but its so hard not too! He talks up a storm and he started doing that out of no where! He knows what he is saying but no body else does lol.

He can say:

Mum (mom)

dada (dad)

bahbah (bottle)

and i can't think of anything else off the top of my head. He loves to dance and he's pretty good at it too, he's got pretty good rhythm ! when you ask him if he has poop in his pants he points to his stomach and shakes his head yes, pretty funny, and he loves to sing itsy bitsy spider and he can do the motion of the spider but that's all so far it is very cute! i will have to try and get it on video. Well that's all i can think of about Houston right now.

Here are a few pictures of lunch.

And yes he loves to get food in his hair every meal!
