Gasp for air...

Where do I even begin?!

So to explain the lack of post, first our computer got a virus back in August, then we canceled our internet for a while(which is still off...I am just at my in-laws on their computer). I honestly feel like I am getting to come up for a big breathe of air considering there is SO much I would love to have shared in the last few months. But I can only gasp for air and go back under until the next time I have computer access with internet. My goal in this post is to update everyone(that cares) with little tidbits of what has been going on in our world.

Let's see where did I leave off.

OH YEAH...I was only like 7 weeks pregnant. I am now 34 weeks pregnant 35 weeks on friday, wow did this pregnancy fly. I am sure having a toddler and watching kids has helped that. Considering I am 34 weeks that does mean I know what we are having. Can I just say first that Jacob and I stink at intuition of what we are having? With Scarlette Jacob talked to my belly like she was a boy and ONLY a boy until the day we found out she of course wasn't. Then considering how pattern seemed to go with the O'Haver family, which is no one has had 2 girls in a row our of what was 17 grand kids. Surely this baby MUST be a boy, RIGHT?! As we went into the ultrasound we both were just like "We are gonna go in, they will tell it's a boy no biggie". If only you could have seen both our faces...

It's A Girl!!! yup that's right, we will have TWO GIRLS running around. Jacob is terribly screwed : ) it also turns out my sister-in-law due a month before me(which is next friday) also broke the O'Haver pattern. GO US!

You may be wondering the name. Her name shall be...wait for it... Sienna Tornae O'Haver. If you don't like, I am sorry, but we love it. ps... Tornae is pronounced Tor-nay if you were not sure.

When is she coming you may also be wondering?(this is all based on her not coming early on her own) well we just got the call yesterday our c-section is schedule April 1st(yes it is on APRIL FOOL'S day) and we have a check in of 5 am. We are so happy about that, we get to start our day with meeting our baby girl. I am especially excited due to the fact that our of like 4 ultrasounds SHE WON'T SHOW US HER FACE! we have NO CLUE what she looks like, oh except she has cheeks like her sister. But I would like to have compared more between their ultrasound pictures and have a good one to scrapbook, but no. : ( So here I wait twiddling my thumbs thinking up what she will look like.

I also can't wait to see Scarlette with her little sister, she has recently been able to spend time with 2 new nephews of ours born in December. She adores them and loves to touch, cuddle, and huge them and help hold bottles. She doesn't get jealous if I hold them. Does this guaranteeNenna hugs and kisses and gets excited when she looks at her ultrasound pictures on the fridge. I really can't wait for her to meet Sienna and to see the two on them together...I promise I will end up crying about, this will either be do to me just being naturally sappy or pregnancy hormones, either way I already know it will happen.

Oh and just in case you were wondering Sienna and Nenna are the same baby. ScarletteNenna, which we found cute, so it stuck as her nickname : )

Things about Scarlette...

Gosh she has grown and changed so much I don't even know where to begin. I will try to make it short and sweet, since you just read an essay up there. Uhm...her hair has grown enough to do pig tails(I am more excited then anyone else of course haha), she talks up a storm(at least at home, she has to get comfortable before you see her loud side if she is out of the house), she is losing her baby face :( but still adorable, says prayer(well babbles and then will say thank you and love you when prompted, followed by AMEN), she has learned to draw a "skircle" aka circle, knows her basic shapes and colors, has come to love movies and even has an opinion of what she wants to watch. Beauty and the Beast is always watched first thing in the morning, this has gone on for almost a month. Recently Corpse Bride has been the next most watch movie, closely followed by Nightmare Before Christmas, Prince of Egypt, and then Despicable Me. We have plenty others to choose from, they apparently just aren't as cool.

Then there is my favorite thing, DANCING, she loves to dance. She has learned to plie, and does her little routine of " Plie, up, turn and repeats". She can officially start dance classes in June when she is 2, yes I am counting down the months. :)

Well I think that is the best I can give you. If there is something I forgot, I am truly sorry. We hope to get our computer fixed so we can get the internet back on it, but until the first happens the second is pointless. But don't give up on me yet!

Hopefully next time you here from me I will be a mother of two wonderful daughter's and with pictures to show for it : ) I CAN'T WAIT!

ps...sorry for any grammatical errors, I don't have time to re-read and correct things : / things will go grand with Sienna, no, but it gives my high hopes. Plus she LOVES to give Baby only calls her

He is...

all grown up...my brother that is. For those who don't know, I have one sibling, a little brother who is 5 years younger than me. He is now a SENIOR in high school, can drive, has a job and has now even treated US to dinner. He really has grown up to be quite a wonderful young man, very bright, smart, and handsome. He has goals and plans for his future, honorable ones too. He plans to join the Military (special ops or air force I believe are the too things he is interested in), this something he has been working towards since he was like 3. NO JOKE...by the age of 5 he could name WWII plans for you, by 11 or 12 he was giving tours an air field, joined ROTC in high school and excelled in that...SHOCKER, NOT. Of course we know that doesn't fully prepare him for the real thing, but I believe he was born to this.


I must say I am very proud to be his older sister. To have had the oppurtunity to teach him to read, help him with homework, our summer walks to Burger King or McDonalds and then Target just so he could by pokemon cards or Bionicles and I could buy well whatever I thought was cool at the time(probably clothes and make-up haha), and watching his dorky shows with him just to make him happy, cooking our lunches and dinners and making them look gourmet even if it was just romen and a grilled cheese sandwich(yes, its a talent haha), and all the times I let him sleep in my room when he was afraid, or being stuck playing Halo the day I stayed home sick with him when he was having hallucinations(the goal was to kill the bad guy to save our dad...weird long story), and just flat out being there for each other. Through the good and bad, yes we went through both, and both came out great people...well I think so at least.

I had the privilage of getting to do his senior pictures this past weekend. He is such a dork, and goofed off most the time, and yet that is why most of the photos turned out so great. Here are a few of the pictures.
















Love you Shane!



IN OTHER NEWS...

We had our first ultrasound last week, and saw a healthy 7wk and 3 day old baby, and could see a wonderful little flutter for a heart. Of course baby is now 8wks and 4days. The due date was set for March 30th with a scheduled c-section about a week before then, the ultrasound tech said the date may or may not change since the baby was measuring a few day behind what we were thinking. I am fine either way, just excited to have a healthy baby. We see our doc next week so we can talk to him and see what his plans are for us. I will keep you all posted!

On this day, God wants you to know

"...that God sees you as you truly are, - a holy child of light: I see you strong and whole. I see you blessed and prospered. I see you courageous and confident. I see you capable and successful. I see you free from all limitations or bondage of any kind. I see you as the spiritually perfect being you truly are."


This was on my Aunt's facebook, I read it and loved it. It was kinda the perfect thing I need to hear(well read) today. I thought I would share it...

New Home..New baby?!

I never have very long to be on here, so I am just giving a mini update. First off we have MOVED! Had to on a short notice, stressful but all has worked out and to be honest I am in love with our house! I really couldn't be happier with it. Funny thing is when we came to see the house originally just to check it out, we left not as into it as much as we thought we would be. It ended up being the house we got approved for plus everything price and time wise for the move out date was right for us, so we took it. Heavenly Father must have known we would love it!(of course he did) Exactly what our little family needed...which leads me to my next second bit of news

We are PreGnaNt! (again...finially) I feel like it took forever to get this news again. For those who don't know, we lost our last baby in January early in the pregnancy and then had to wait till April to start trying again. Every month was an unfortunate negative, but we kept up hope and knew our time would come when Heavenly Father felt it best. And it has!

Estimate Due Date= APRIL 7th, 2011...then take off a week for scheduled c-section, if my new doctor does the same gameplan as my old OB doctor would have(I have to switch doc's mine stops delivering after december)

Now I am not for sure how far along we are since the miscarriage messed up my cycle. My 2 guesses are either 4 weeks and 4 days or 6 weeks and 6 days. I am going to go with the lesser simply because I would hate to loose weeks at the doctors office when they figure out for sure how far along I am. I figured I will either be right or close enough, or wrong and possible further then I thought(which would be great!) My first appointment is next friday, I am excited! I will keep you all update.

I do have one request... if you all could send good thoughts and prayers for this baby and his or hers health and strength, I would be beyond greatful : )

Love is like a Painting...

For those of you who may not know I LOVE to paint. Unfortunately I don't get to often, but when I do its such a relaxing peaceful thing for me. I really enjoy canvas painting best, but getting to paint and decorate a room definately comes up close behind. So I have 3 blank canvas's laying around and had the strong urge to paint something, but couldn't think of anything. Then we were watching Tinkerbell with Scarlette, which is also the theme for her room and suddenly I realized that is what I wanted to do with them. I figured as she grows she will always have something her mommy painted just for her (until she becomes to cool for that), or if we move they can easily go with us and be the start of decoration for her new room. So here are the 3 paintings I did, sadly I haven't actually got them put up yet or else I would have just put a picture of them up in her room : )

Side note: the quote is from Shakespear's "A Midsummer's Night Dream" said by Titania, the Queen of all fairies, it was the first Shakespear play I ever read, and probably my favorite.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

So Scarlette officially turned 1...a month ago. : ) I know I have said before how much she amazes me. But the other day I was watching her and realized in one year she has brought joy and a smile to my face DAILY. I have awed over her accomplishments, almost cried at how overwhelmed I feel with how much of a blessing she is. Then it really hit me...its only been ONE year, and she is only our 1st child. For parents who have older children and more than 1, do they continue to do this to you daily(or almost daily, I am sure being able to talk back doesn't help their cause haha)? Seriously though, and to think I can't wait to have more and be awed by what they can do. It's funny, I don't know that my heart has anymore room between Scarlette and the happiness Jacob brings me, yet I can't wait to find out. Now all I need to do is get pregnant, haha.

Speechless

So I titled this post "Speechless" simply because I couldn't truly put I title that I thought gave this post justice. Today Jacob and I did Scarlette's pictures since she will be 1 in less then a month and I wanted to get them done, edited, order prints, and get them sent out on time. While editing them I began looking over her past photos. Tears came to my eyes when I realized how fast time has gone and how much she has grown. I have decided to share her growth and the bubbly little person she has turned into. If only I could get the video's I have of her to work, then I could truly share her personality even better with you.

Day 1- one week past due date...june 9th ,2009
9lbs 4oz...no I did not push her out

One of her first full smiles!


Day of her blessing...Aug 2nd. Almost 2months old

Sitting up alone at 3 1/2 months

Scarlette and Summer...they love each others company

She is a true pizza lover...just try taking it away
Jub Jub and other furry creatures bring her smiles

She likes and eats almost anything!

Games bring her the greatest laughter and squeals just like the "Chase Me"
game with her Daddy!

Oh and of course peek-A-boo...now played through our legs : )
She shares her food AND even feeds her cousins. She has also become a big helper at spoon feeding other babies with mommy.

FISH! She LOVES fish...or as she calls them "Zshuzsh"
and Finally she is almost 1...it amazes me how much she has changed and grown. She went from a sleeping lump to standing at 7 months, walking at 8 1/2, to running away when caught in the act of something naughty by 10 1/2 months. The things her little mind understands boggles me. At times just watching her makes me speechless. Everything she does brings joy to my life(well minus the fits she have learned to throw haha)

I just love her!

Here are a 2 of her 1st year pictures...Tutu, bow, and Tinkerbell necklace made by her Aunt Natalie for her birthday! They turned out wonderful!


Well, I have just been informed I have a poopy diaper to change...can't wait till potty training beings...
