AN UPDATE

So I realized today that it has been over four months since I have posted....I know it is over four months because I haven't posted since our Sweet little Gaven was born.

July 28, 2010 Gaven Eli Jacobson joined our family at 22:26. I went in that same morning at 0400 to be induced and he finally showed up many many hours later. It was such a wonderful experience to bring him into this world and to experience the miracle of life. He has brought such a wonderful spirit to our home. I never knew that I was capable of loving and adoring anyone like I do my little man. He has several nick names from me, "munchie", "bones", "burrito boy" and many others that I think of on a daily basis and I have been so blessed to be off work these first few months, and he had become my little side kick if I go somewhere that does not have to do with school he is by my side and I can't stand to be away from him. I just hope that he can feel how much I truly love him.

When Gaven was 9 days old my sweet Grandma Ward finally went to be with her truest love Grandpa Ward, I have never really had someone close to me die and it was such a bitter sweet thing for me. All of my memories growing up include my Grandma and it is weird to think of going home for holidays and to visit and her not being there. She never got to meet Gaven and that was really hard for me but I know that she is watching over and loving him with Grandpa.

School started back up in mid August and so the craziness of nursing school and having a new baby began but I adjusted pretty well. I cried all the way to school but I managed to make it through. It was exciting to be moving forward in school but stunk to leave munchie munch much to do so.

So now block II is almost over and only about 10 days until I know if I will be moving on to block III I am passing so far but things have a way of changing oh so quickly.

All in all life has been a crazy mess since Gaven joined us but I wouldn't trade sanity for one minute with my beautiful boy, he is my reason for living, my reason for getting up every morning and my reason for succeeding every day.
