So Much for Posting More Often

Lived

- I honestly can not believe that it is November already. I swear it had to of been last week that i said i was going to start posting more often and that i had realized i had time for myself on Tuesdays. I guess my school work, real work, and house work have gotten the better of me. Today i have a moment to breathe though and i am serious about it being a moment.

- Every weekend since Memorial weekend Kaden and I have gone down to the valley. Most of our time has been being spent over that Kirk home. This has been quite the experience and blessing for both of us. It is really so amazing to see a family go through so much and still be strong. Our faith has grown as we have spent time sitting next to Malcolm and helping the boys with whatever we can. We pray everyday that they may know how much they are loved and watched over and that someday we will all be able to see the meaning of things like this happening to one family. Malcolm has been strong and has honestly lived much longer than expected. I really think that he is holding on as long as possible for his boy.



- I am barely surviving school right now. I have absolutely no will to go to class or to do my homework. I don't know why but this semester has been so hard on me. I am sure its a  mixture of all the things i feel are more important right now. Only a few more weeks left to go and then i will be finished for a month and next semester i only have two classes to take which will be amazing!

-Vance and Teisha are getting married soon and i have been able to help a little with planning and doing their pictures. It has been so much fun getting to know Teisha more, i only wish that i had more time to help with everything.








Learned

- We finally found out what we are having and are so excited to welcome another Leavitt Girl into the family. I honestly thought the entire time that i would be having a girl, so did my mom and my dad and now that we know Kaden has confessed to it too. I know the entire Leavitt family was hoping for a boy but i really could not be more excited. I started planning the nursery forever ago and already started buying girl clothes. She is healthy and Beautiful, and even though everyone thinks that i am tiny, the doctor said she is the perfect size.




Loved

- I have absolutely loved feeling our little girl kick, i don't even care if she does it all night long. It is truly the most amazing experience i have ever had being able to feel her move around. I have been reading to her every time i read and i have been playing uplifting music, not sure if everyone else out there buys into the learning during utero but  i do think that it has been a great experience whether it works or not.

- I have also loved having my energy back. I have been able to go on some amazing runs and i really get excited about working out, for some reason it feels way better than even before i was pregnant. I really want to sign up for the next 5k that will be in saint george and i would totally do the half marathon if i wasn't going to be so far along by then.
