Dutch on his Birthday!

Family Update

I have been considering starting a blog spot but I just kept putting it off until today when Stormy emailed me and told me I needed to get one. Everything with the family has been going really good lately. Dutch just turned one, two weeks ago. We had a big birthday bash for him here at our house. It was a lot of fun, David and I really enjoyed having all the family come over to our own home. We have spent the last 6 or 7 months getting our backyard already for Dutch's birthday party. We didn't completely finish but it is mostly done and we are very proud of it. We love spending time out there. Dutch had to get his one year old immunizations shots the day after his birthday and ever since we have been struggling with a not so fun reaction to them. Last Friday he woke up with a really high fever which he maintained for a couple of days and once his fever finally broke he then presided to get a rash all over his entire body. He broke out with that on Sunday and it still hasn't completely faded away. And needless to say he has been cranky ever since Friday. Its been a real fun week. He still isn't walking and I am not sure its going to be very soon before he does but he is finally starting to show a lot more interest in it. Last Thursday David and I got to get an ultrasound of this new baby and we found out that it is a little girl. To say I was shocked would be putting it lightly, I still am not sure if I really believe it. I was just so sure it was going to be another little boy. But I am very excited for her and I can't wait to see what she is going to look like. As of today I am halfway done with this pregnancy... Hurray! David is still going to school. His education counselor at ASU and him decided that it would probably be best if he extended his bachelor one more semester so that he can take the Kaplan test in the spring. I'm not super thrilled about it, I was so excited for him to graduate in May with his bachelors but the Kaplan test does have a 100% grantee that you will past the MCAT with a good score otherwise you get you money back. So it is definitely worth it for him to take that class. Then we will be able to apply to Medical schools in the summer and hopefully get in.
