Goodbyes

Jordan's Grandpa passed away last Wednesday night. His viewing was on Friday night and the funeral on Saturday. Jordan was very close with his Grandpa. It was a sad day but happy because he is reuniting with his wife that died several years ago. I never know what to say when an event like this takes place. I am usually an emotional person but being pregnant has intensified my emotions. Needless to say, all I could really do was cry.

Here we are at the viewing. You can't see my belly to well, but this is the 15 weeks belly. Thank goodness black is slimming!

Mickell, Cierra, and I. These are Jordan's sisters-in-law. Look how much taller I am!!

My next doctor's appointment is on Monday! We will be finding out if we are having a boy or a girl!! I am way excited! Any bets....?

2010, a new beginning!

It has literally been 7 months since I last posted anything. Chalk it up to moving around, not having internet access, and pure laziness.


I'll give you the quick update:

Moved from Logan, UT to Salt Lake City, UT in April.


Got a job working at a cafe, story of my life.


Moved out of my house in October and moved to West Jordan, UT for a minute.


Found out I was 6 weeks pregnant in the beginning of November.


Jordan got his job back in Logan, UT.


Moved to Tremonton, UT mid-November to live with Jordan's Mom.


Now pregnant, job-less, and loving it!!


Jordan and I will be finding out the sex of the baby at the end of January! We are excited for that. It's like a milestone in pregnancy. Almost to the half way mark.


Christmas was great! I got a new digital camera to document my growing belly! I will try and post the ultrasounds as soon as I figure out how to do that.

Here I am at 14 weeks. The downward angle is better!

New Years was awesome! Hung out with family and played games. Drank way too much sparkling cider and almost fell asleep before the countdown!


2010 will bring amazing and new adventures, and I am look forward to it all!


Back to regular posting! (hopefully)

Greatest Experience

My best friend Caiti had her baby on Thursday! The coolest thing was, was that she asked if I wanted to be there for the birth. I jumped at the chance! She went into the doctor's on Wednesday at noon. The baby's heart beat was low, they sent her to the hospital to be induced. By the time she got into her room and hooked up on IV, it was 1:30. I got to the hospital around 3pm. The waiting game began.

There was a big group of us that was going to be there for the birth. Five people were allowed in the room. Around 9pm, there wasn't much progress, so the doctor came in and broke her water. We were excited that things were going to happen now! After the water breakage, Caiti received her epideral. Caiti was tired by then, so tried to get some rest. We all walked the halls and drank coffee, trying to stay awake.

Caiti, Cam, and I playing RISK to pass the time.

Not being able to get much sleep, we all crowded back into the room trying to pass more time. The contractions were coming but not very close together.

3:30 rolled around, and the nurse came in to tell us to get ready. Caiti's contractions were real close together. She was going to start her pushing, and call the doctor when the baby's head got close. We all gathered on the couch, on the sidelines. Cam (the dad) sat beside Caiti. The nurse coached her on how to push, and it began! We all sat silently while not too much happened. Caiti was pushing for over an hour. Felt like minutes to me. Finally the nurse started putting scrubs on and warming up the baby bed. Within minutes she called the doctor. It was time!



The doctor came in and put on all his scrubs. The tables where wheeled in. After pushing for about twenty or thirty more mintues, baby Crue arrived! I saw the baby come half way out and the doctor helped pull the rest out. It was such an amazing experience. Tears were streaming down everyone's face.

Crue Diesel Kendrick. Born March 19 at 5:38am. 7lbs 7oz.


Right after Crue was born!

Pied Piper

Jordan and I went to Salt Lake for St. Patrick's Day. We watched an Irish band play, and I can't remember the name for the life of me! They were all dressed in kilts and vests. There were drummers and bag pipe players. It was so fun! I decked myself in green, Jordan didn't have really anything green to wear, but we got some green and white lei's at the concert.

The band played right in the crowd!

Draper Engagement

I went to the Draper temple opening last Saturday. I have never been to a temple opening before so it was exciting to go. It was extremely busy! It was fairly warm that day but by the time we got up to the temple, it was freezing and I wasn't wearing a jacket. So much for spring coming soon! Going through the temple was definitely an experience.

While we were in the sealing room, Jordan's little brother Spencer proposed to his girlfriend, Mickell! It was perfect timing. The sealing room was so pretty!

After the temple, we celebrated the engagement at 'The Old Spaghetti Factory'. Mickell's parents were with us too.

We had a family dinner with Jordan's family on Sunday. I like spending time with his family! One of his nephews was getting over being sick, annnnndddd now I'm sick. I hate being sick. I at least have time to recover. My job has been really slow still, so I'm jobless.

Blocks of Time

I went to another baby shower! It was for my friend Kristie's older sister Jessica. She is having a boy! I was able to make some treats for it. These baby blocks took me forever but they turned out cute.

My laptop computer charger broke almost two weeks ago so I haven't been able to get on the internet, which has been annoying. And just when I thought that my job was pretty secure, they up and tell us that we have no work for the next full month. So I've been sitting on my butt for the last two weeks. I'm just now starting to look for another job! I get real panicky when this happens! I hate not knowing when I'll be able to pay my bills. Cross your fingers for me. I need a job by this week!

Jordan and I hung out with our friend Mike last week. For those of you who don't know, I once had a pitbull-rotweiller named Sadie. She was my daughter pretty much. I took her everywhere with me. I moved a lot last summer and gave her to Jordan's friend. Needless to say, when he moved he got rid of her and didn't tell us. I called all the shelters in the area but never found her. Sad. I don't want to talk about it. BUT, our friend Mike just got a puppy that looks exactly like her! And now I want to steal his puppy away!

The Older Woman

Today is Jordan's 22nd birthday. He and I always get comments that we look younger than what we really are, which is nice. And people always tend to think that he is older than me. I think that is the general idea for everyone, but not us. I will be 24 in September. So that would make us almost a year and a half apart. I feel like for me, 22 was such a long time ago and here Jordan is embarking on the beginning of a whole year being 22. Well, good luck to him! It's not a bad year.

Jordan and I work at the same company on the same shift. We were both lucky today and did not have to work, so we had the whole day to play! We went to lunch at The Old Grist Mill and then off to the movies to see 'Taken'. The movie was awesome and I recommend it to everyone, if you like action packed movies!



We relaxed for a bit and then his mom came over to Logan from Tremonton and took us out to dinner at The Copper Mill Restaurant. There were no presents this year. I got him an XBOX 360 for Christmas/birthday so he's already had his gift for awhile now.

Christmas time 2008


Happy Birthday my love!
