So Much News

So a lot has been happening in the Larson Family. We bought our first house in Draper and we are loving it. It is just our size and we love the area. It is a 4 bedroom 3 bath house with a great backyard that Bella can actually play in. It has a great playset and unfortunately we have not been able to use it much because of the snow that we have had. We are so glad that we found it.

We are expecting our 2nd child. I am due the first of May and so far the pregnancy has been fine. I am hoping that since Bella came four weeks early that maybe I will be lucky enough to go early with this one as well :). Bella was due on May 5th so their due dates are only a couple days apart.

Some more news is that it is a girl. Bella got her wish and is getting a baby sister. Rick and I thought for sure that we were having a boy, mostly because at our 12 week ultrasound the doctor said that she thought she saw something between the legs and Rick thought he did too. Obviously it was way too early to tell since it is for sure a girl. This is definitely our last child and we are both fine having two girls. I just had to promise Rick no more pink poodles for this baby.

We are still very much considering going back to Dallas. Even though we have a new house and a new baby on the way, Rick has been offered a job there that is very hard to refuse. We are constantly going through the pros and cons of moving back. One HUGE con would be leaving our families. We have really enjoyed being so close to them and that will be hard to lose, especially if I have another Bella. But the pro would be the stability of the economy and a bigger patient base (oh and I cant forget better winter weather). I hate being an adult and having to make such big decisions. Why don't you all just make them for me...

I will post some pictures of our new house and of Bella's 1st dance performance. She did great and loved being on a stage. As soon as I get our other computer up and running I will post them.

I hope that all of you are well!

Good luck on the big decisions. Of course you'll figure out what's right for your family. Can't wait to hear what you decide, but I promise we'll take good care of you if you head back our way.

Congrats on the new baby girl! A girl has to have a sister (except my poor little one - sorry Emma no more kids for mommy :) ) And I can't wait to see the house. And as for moving back to Texas, well I just happen to know a place in Utah that has great winters ;). It will all work out, can't wait to see you.

You guys are so fun! I love reading your blog...congrats on the little baby girl. That will be nice since you probably have lots of girl stuff already. I know how much you loved Dallas and that is exciting about the job offer. I hate making decisions too. Good luck with all the decision making and exciting things!

Congratulations! You really have had a lot going on. Enjoy the holidays with your families.

Tiffany Webber said...

Yay! Another girl! I thought you were having a boy too! I am happy to make any big decisions for you. Don't move to Dallas and don't stay in Utah. Move to Las Vegas. It's warmer and it's closer to your family. Plus I'm here :) Sounds good to me!
