One Big Happy family

Well, its been really long since I wrote last! Well, here's the scoop: We had our baby boy Truman Scott Peterson on March 19th at 7:45 AM. He weighed 8 lbs 6.5 oz. and was 20.5 inches long! At first, he was having some minor complications, so he spent the first day and a half in the nursery. It was hard on me not to have him with me (especially since they did that same thing with Cadence!) Atleast they brought him to me every few hours so I could feed him! Anyway, 5 weeks later we are both healthy and doing well. He had a very bad cold last weekend, but luckily it didn't turn into anything serious! Cadence had the cold as well, and they're both feeling much better now! Truman had a doctors appointment this week, and he already weighs 12 lbs 2 oz. and is 22.5 inches long! He's definitely healthy and big!

Cadence is doing well as a big sister! she loves him so much, she has to kiss him goodnight every night before she goes to bed. Its so sweet! She likes to help me bathe him and helps me out here and there when I need her to get things for me! She tends to get jealous every once in a while... and lately she's been completely ignoring everything I say!! But, she's two, so thats normal, right? Haha! But she's been good wth him for the most part!

I'm recovering well from the c-section. I've had a few minor setbacks, and have been deressed on and off because of my yucky baby fat tummy! So as soon as I'm allowed to exercise, I will be out and about! I also started a diet this week, and after only 5 days, I've already lost 4 lbs! So it's off to a good start. David is doing really well! He loves being a daddy of two. He's also still trying to figure out what he wants to do for school! He will be taking some classes this fall, but he still needs to decide what he wants to major in. He keeps changing his mind!

We have also set our temple date to be endowed and sealed! We will be going to the temple on June 13, and we are very excited about it! My whole family will be coming out for it which is very exciting since I havent seen them in 2 and 1/2 years! Anyway, I think thats enough for now! Got lots to do!

And Auld Lang Syne

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It feels so weird to think that its 2009 already! Well, its been a while since i posted last, so i thought I'd leave you something! First things first, David got a new job in the beginning of November!! He works at an eye care place, as the lead patient manager (that's fancy talk for head receptionist! LOL) The hours are perfect, and the pay is great! Especially since after only 30 days, they gave him a dollar raise! They really like him there, and we get a nice discount on glasses and free eye exams! Woohoo!!

Thanksgiving was wonderful, Christmas was wonderful, and New years was just okay! Haha! For Thanksgiving, we had a dinner just for the three (and a half) of us! I cooked a delicious and amazing dinner, with a 17 lb turkey! It was all beautiful and we all got nice and fat! For Christmas, we spent it at home just us again! We did the whole Santa thing for Cadence, starting a few weeks beforehand. We would tell her that if she was a good girl, Santa would bring us gifts! So she was actually GOOD until Christmas! On Christmas eve, we left out cookies for Santa, and the next morning, when cadence saw the plate with just a half eaten cookie left, and the milk was all gone, she was so excited! She even ate the rest of Santa's cookie! Almost immediately after opening her gifts, she began the "MINE!" phase!! For our Christmas dinner, we went to a friends house; they're this amazing family we know from church, and they were kind enough to ask us to dinner! It was so much fun, and so delicious. The day after Christmas, we drove up to Prescott to go play in the snow! Cadence had never actually played in snow before, so we wanted her to experience it. I'm so used to the nice Tucson weather, that i was FREEZING up there!! But it was good to see some old friends and to see the trees!! For New Years, David had to work all day, and late into the night. So i stayed home and watched some TV, played with Cadence... the usual! David got home in time for us to put cadence to bed, and then we drank some sparkling cider while we watched the ball drop, then we were all fast asleep before 12:30!! We never stay up that late, so it was difficult to keep my eyes open that late!

So now, things are going good! We are getting ready for Truman to arrive! I have 11 weeks left until the big day!! My mom is going to be flying out here when I have the baby to be here to help, and to play with Cadence! I'm so excited to see her, its been over 2 years!! And then In early June, we will be going to the temple to be sealed as a family!! So we have a lot of exciting things going on this year!
