Erinn

Jayne

"Down in Fraggle Rock"

So I don't know how many of you remember Fraggle Rock. But the other day when I did Erinn's hair she totally reminded me of a Fraggle.

Love,Blessings, and Grateful.

I must say that I love my life. I have been blessed in so many ways. Let me start with my wonderful husband Tony. Tony is my glue that holds me together. Yes I may get ffrustrated with him at times but I am glad that he is my husband, he is slow to anger, understanding, loving smart hard working, and patient I could keep going but I'm pretty sure you get the idea. He is so sweet he always makesure that he takes time away from his homework to spend time with his family, especially when he knows that Erinn is about to drive me batty, he will stop what he is doing and play with her so that i can get a small break. he is always so good about helping around the house, remembering to do family home evening and putting Erinn to be for me. Erinn..... she is such a sweet girl. Though i may get flustered at times with her i definatly have to remember that she is only 2 and i need to be more understanding and think like a two year old

to understand why she does the things she does. But she is such a sweet heart it took her a couple of weeks to get use to Jayne being apart of the family but i can happily say that she no longer try's to step on Jaynes head! instead she insists on giver her kisses right on the mouth! so poor jayne has had to deal with a stuffy nose for the past 2 months which is now finally got(woohoo). Erinn loves to watch Cinderella, Robinhood and Baby Einsteins and her moneys show that Grama Lynn got her for Christmas. She loves to talk on skype with her Grandparents and cousins and likes to put makeup on with mom! her vocabulary is starting to expand though she still chooses when she want to use them intead of when we try to encourage her. she loves to play in the snow and be outside. she loves to read books and loves to have me read them to her when i'm trying to take a break and read my books! she loves to help me put away dishes and help me change over the laundry from the washing machine to the dryer. Her two favorite songs right now are "Ppopcorn Popping" and "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" she knows all of the hand motions. she loves going to nursery at church. she know how to fold her arms when its time to say prayer, and say AMEN! Its is such a joy to watch her grow and and learn, she teaches me so much about myself (that i can be more patient!)i sure do love that little girl!!!

Jayne.... she is my blob! sh is so chubby its adorable. she is a little over 3 months and she is probably about 15-16lbs. she is such a happy baby she loves to smile and talk up a storm. i have been ask if she is wearing a wig more than once i'm sad that her hair doesn't stick up likeErinns did...... but i am also glad that people don't ask if thats my dog when i'm carrying her around in my mobywrap!for now she is definatly a mamas girl, i think it bugs poor Tony but i think it will change as she gets older just s it did with Erinn. she is such a good natured baby and such a blessing in our lives, i love her so much. I am Grateful for all that i have.

This last weekend was General Conference for our Church (where the Leaders of our church speak to us) it was such a pleasure to listen to the speakers and hear the chiors sing. It is always so nice to be spiritually up lifted and fed. I am grateful for the gospel in my life. i know that Jesus Christ came to this earth and died for us. I know that He lives through the power of the resurrection, i know that He loves me and is mindful of my needs i know that we have a Prophet on the earth today and that he is here to guide us and direct us through our Father in Heaven. I love my life and everything in it. I am so Grateful.

both of my babies are waking up now so i don't have time to go through my post to fix all of my misspelligns and lower case I's and begining of sentences .. so bare with me. I hope you all are having a wonderful day. so until the next post(when ever that will be). Smile!

Jayne Morgan Cox

I love babies, they are so sweet.
Erinn is such a sweet big sister. She just loves holding Janye.

Her Christmas bows.

I am now going to turn you all in to sheep!

So on December 18, 2010. Our little Jane Morgan Cox was born at 1:58 pm, she weighs 9 lb 4oz and is 19 1/2 inches. My water broke at 2:40 am, I called my doctor and he said that I could wait till 7:00 am to go to the hospital (sweet!). So I tried to sleep, but even though I was really having contractions yet I just couldn't sleep. so I got up and started getting things ready to go, making phone calls and all that stuff. Around 4:00 am my contractions started and they weren't that strong and I'm thinking that this is going to be like Erinn and have to be on pitocin the whole time. So we get Erinn to our friends house and head up to the hospital. We get there at 7:00am and I'm dilated to a six! I'm thinking wow this is going so much better than Erinn! They didn't have to give me pitocin which was nice, but it still took me a while to dilate. Mean while.......... My parents are on the train to Salt Lake City to catch their shuttle up to Rexburg. They get to SLC at 3:oo am and their shuttle leaves at 7:30 am. So I'm thinking what a bummer that they weren't going to make it on time, because my due date was still 2 days away so plans weren't going as planned! So their shuttle ends up being 2 hours late and I'm thinking that they defiantly aren't going to make it. To make a Long story short..... They get to the hospital pulling their luggage into the delivery room and like 5 minutes later Jayne is born!!! at 1:58 pm. So my was basically as long as Erinn's but physically so much easier. With Erinn I pushed for 2 hours... with Jayne I pushed for maybe 10 minutes! So that was nice!

My Recovery with Janye has been rougher on my Body than with Erinn. With Erinn my recovery was annoying because I had stitches to heal from because I had to have an episiotomy because Erinn was so big (10lb 110z). With Jayne I lost a lot of blood because my placenta detached immediately, so as a result I passed out 2 different times while I was at the hospital. So I made the nurses nervous, so every time I had to get up and go to the bathroom I had to call a nurse and be babysat while I did so. I have been weaker and still don't feel 100%.

Other than my big adventure I am feeling fairly good. Jayne is a good natured baby just like Erinn. She's not colicky...thank goodness, and is a great eater. Erinn is such a sweet big sister. She loves to give Jayne hugs and kisses and is always wanting to hold her. She gets really excited when she get to hold Jayne to the point where she is just trying to pull her out of my arms. It has been nice having my parents here to help out and fun to have them here for Christmas. I will miss them when they have to go home. I sure hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas. I know that I did, and I have the most sweet gift of all this year with our new little addition to our family.

This and That...

I think I'm 35 or 36 weeks not sure, but I think my belly looks weird. But you can tell now where my ginormouse babies like to hide... in my ribs!

This is our family photo we took after we decorated the Christmas tree.

So life for us has been pretty much normal. Tony got to come home to us a little sooner have planned because his job season ended sooner that we thought it would, so that was a delightful treat to get him back. Life has been pretty mellow. Just Doctors appointments and Christmas shopping and everyday things. I am now 38 weeks into my pregnancy and ready to be done, between my screwed up sacrum, my pubis symphesis popping every time I turn over, peeing every hour when I'm sleeping, and my numb stomach because that's where my babies think its so much fun to hang out at.....I'm ready....and I think Tony is too! I could have been induced a week early but I decided to be nice to my mom and wait till my due date to do so, so that way she can be there. I'm not a fan of being induced but because I have big babies it come highly recommended for me. And even though my water broke on its own with Erinn I was basically induced because my contractions weren't starting on their own.*sigh* So lucky me I get to be put on pitosin and hallucinate on statol because I refuse to get an epidural. I don't care how good the anesthesiologist is that's my spine and they are not touching it with a needle. I know everyone has their opinions on that, and that's mine.... and its not gonna change. Anywho!

Decorating for Christmas this year was so fun with Erinn! Granted we did put up the tree and the lights on the tree while she was napping. But we saved the ornaments for her to help us hang them. She was so excited to help it was adorable. She would go and grab the ornaments and bring them to us and we would put them on, because she couldn't get the hang of hooking them on by herself. Now I think that Tweee(tree) is her favorite word! She loves to point at the tree and say Tweee, its super cute.

Life in Rexburg is just fine, cold of course but just fine. We miss our families, but we are enjoying our new adventure so far and getting to know the town and our new ward. Our ward is so nice and everyone is so friendly.

We sure hope that everyone is have a good holiday season so far. We sure love you and miss you.

Our adventures this month.

So this months for has been adventurous for us..... to say the least. First it start out with our BIG move to Idaho (yes we now live in Rexburg Idaho). we got the Truck and everything loaded no problem the day before we were taking off. 5:00 am the following morning as we were putting Erinn into her car seat she throws up. I'm thinking that it is just the excitement of being up so early, but nope! boy was I wrong. She ended up throwing up for about 40% of the trip to Idaho. This does not make for a very pleasant trip for the pregnant Mama in the front seat driving, in a car that smells like barf for almost the whole way there. Other than that the trip to Idaho was just fine. The cars functioned correctly and we got there safely some time after midnight.

So we get there, set up Erinns port-a-crib, lay her down. Then we set up our air matress I asked Tony if he had brought any blankets from his parents house, to which he responded "no, why?" (all of our blanket are somewhere in the moving truck) Needless to say it was a very cold night and we found out why we could figure out how to turn our heater up....We share a heater with our downstairs neighbor.... and they have the heater controls.(thats fine just wish I would have known that from the begining) But Tonys Dad let us use his sleaping bag for the other half of the night. I felt bad. I asked him how he slept for the rest of the night he said "fine" I asked if he was cold he said "not really", I'm pretty sure he was and was just being super nice.

Our Elders Quorum President from our new ward (who we haddn't met or talked to before) shows up on our door step at like 9:00 in the morning and asks if we want help now or later in the day. I left that up to Tony to decide and he said "now". So our EQ President calls up his family and the truck is unpacked into the house in like 1-2 hours, It was so nice to have help.

So over the next couple of days we unpack most of the boxes and get things situated. Our landlords live in Boise and they called and said that the were going to be in town on that saturday to fix a few things that needed to be done, and so that they could meet us. Great! I was hoping Tony would get to meet them before he had to go back down to California. Our landlords are very nice, and we really like them lots.

Sunday morning We said our good-byes and I bawled like a baby ( you know its really hard to watch a daddy say good bye to there kids). I went back to bed because Tony and his Dad left at like 5 in the morning. 2 hours later I get a phone call from Tony telling me that his front drivers side tired had failed and that the tread came off and in the process busted off the fender. So I had to figure our where they were... and find the closest tow truck company to where they were so they could get a new tire, because Tony and forgot to make sure the spare tire had air in it. So a tow truck ride later and 2 new tires on the car (because one of the other tires needed to be replaced too) they are back on the road and make it back to Tony's parents house with out any other complications. (The picture below is from the trip back when the tread came off the tire.)

Ok so Tony got home on Sunday. Monday as he was drining home from work something happen with the shifter on his car. I gues there is this little part that connects the shifter stick to the transmission that holds them together so that you can shift easily. Well..... it broke. So we had to fix that. after searching high and low they found it on ebay, and it was 20 bucks. Sweet! Not too bad. so now we were faced with do we want to make a claim with the insurance about the fender to get it fixed and have a mark against him and have our insurance go up or fix it our self? Well we had decided on fixing it our self because we could get a fender for $40 and the just have to get it painted. Thank goodness we haddn't baught the fender yet, because I get a phone call from Tony.
Tony: Uh hey... we aren't going to have to buy the fender now... Me: Really? Why? Tony: Well... because I just got rear ended and shoved into the person in front of me. Me: *gasp* (freaking out silently in my head) Uh.. ok... are you ok?!?!?!? Tony: Yes I'm fine but the car is dead. Me: (thinking... the heck with the car!) Are you sure your ok?!?! Tony: Yes Audra I'm fine..... um I need to go I'm using someone else's cell phone will you call my Mom and tell her what happend and that I might need a ride.

Ok so Tony hates carrying a cell phone and I tried to make him carry one for these kind of reasons, but it was pointless because half the time it would sit on the counter forgotten at home.
So I call his Mom and tell her all about it and answer all of her questions the best I can and let her know that he would be calling when he needed a ride.

So apparently what had happened was traffic was going along really well on the road that he was on and it came to a stop I guess unexpectedly and thats why the guy behind him ended up crashing into him. The man who hit him was an on Duty Parol Officer. So good news is he is insured through the state. So as far as we know things will work out insurance wise. I feel bad for the guy who hit him, I hope he's not in trouble at work for crashing a work car.

Tony is doing fine he went to the chiropractor to get adjusted and our chiropractor wanted him to wait through the weekend so that his muscels could relax and let the symptoms manifest themselves and he gave Tony some paper work to fill out so Tony could write down what the symptoms were so that the chiropractor could see what kind of stuff he was dealing with since the car accident was that bad. He said that if the accident had been worse he would be taking a different approach. Tony says he feel fine, he says that the only thing he feels like he needs is and adjustment and a really nice/ grueling massage from me when he gets back. So ya this is our month of October for us. Hope your was Better. Enjoy looking at the pictures!

So now we are trying to figure out if we want to Buy another car or... just live with having the one until Tony get finished with school in a few years. We'll see.
