Survey of 2010

  1. What did you do in 2010 that you’d never done before?

    Something I did this year that I never have before was having a baby, but I'm sure that is pretty obvious! Makes you think about wanting to try new things especially when you can't think of anything else!

  2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

    Last year I didn't even have time or that frame of mind to make resolutions! I was just enjoying my honeymoon! But I guess that's alright cause even if I had I wouldn't have stuck with it, I have a short attention span and can't stick to things! I would like to say that this year I will exercise more and enjoy each day not sweat the small stuff but who sticks to half of what we want to do! So this year lets just say my goals are... Lose the last 18 lbs of baby weight, run a 5K with Matt, and enjoy time with family!

Our Crazy Week

Our busiest week of the year has started! Christmas was great! JJ got spoiled of course as did mom and dad :) We blessed JJ last night it was amazing. I am so grateful for this wonderful gospel and my eternal family! Tomorrow is Matt and I's one year anniversary, I can't believe everything that has happened in just one year! So in honor of the year ending we will do a year in review. We moved to Murray from Springville on March 1st. Got our puppy that week, and just a few weeks later found out we were expecting! We lost sweet Kim in April and we miss her so much! Having JJ with us we can really feel how close we really are to lost loved ones! Then months of contractions and not so fun pregnancy complications. We finally welcomed JJ to the world November 18! He was 6lbs 14oz and 21" long!
He has already grown so much! We had to find a new home for our dog, he thought it was ok to eat everything including baby socks and shoes! This Wednesday is my 22nd birthday! Matt and I will be spending the night at a hotel in Orem for New Years/Anniversary this Friday. I can't believe this year is ending when it feels like it just began. We are so excited for the new year and new milestones in our lives!

Just an Update

Obviously I am horrible at writing a blog! Lots has been going on lately! We have officially made 2 trips to the hospital in the last week! Blood pressure issues and lots of confusing contractions! All I can say is I'm so ready for little JJ to get here! But I will try to be patient and wait until he is ready! I'm going to try to be better about writing and hopefully I can find good ideas to get me going on a topic!

Update


I can't believe its been months since I've updated. Ok I can believe it because I'm really bad at this kind of thing...I'm trying. I am not on official no movement bedrest. I have been limited to Pelvic rest and moderate activity. So basically if I feel up to a walk thats ok.

We found out we are having a boy! We will keep the family name going he will be James (John)Cheshire, he will be the fifth generation that will carry the Cheshire last name.

We get to meet our sweet newest niece this week and we are so excited! I hope it doesn't make me want to get our little guy out. It will be a very busy week!

I will try to keep you better posted on whats going on! Love you guys!

Bed Rest

Well it's official I followed the johnson genetics. I am now on bedrest until further notice. I have no idea how I'm going to occupy my time. I have never been good at doing nothing...unless there was some cleaning I was putting off, now my messy bathroom will just have to wait. I am going crazy!! Day two and I already can't stand it... but time to stop being selfish and think of that precious baby that I'm doing all this for. In the mean time Movie suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

17 weeks

Its been quite awhile since I have posted anything new. Life is continuing to move quickly. We are already just about half way there. I can't wait to know if its a he or she so I can pick a paint color for the bedroom. I've been steadily growing larger around the middle and feeling lots of movement. I wasn't sure at first if it was really the baby or just me wishing it was. We are so excited to spend the summer with eachother and preparing for our little one. I will post ultrasound pics as soon as we get them I can't wait to share.

Our Guardian Angel


I lost my sweet mother in law yesterday. She will be so missed. She was always kind and doing everything for everyone she was the most selfless person I will ever know. We are deeply saddened for the loss, but we are so grateful for how much we can strengthen our testimonies. We should rejoice to send our loved ones to be with their sweet heavenly father. The greatest gift is the lasting gift of eternal families. We will see you again someday sweet mother. May you remain in our hearts and our prayers. Our children will still know both of their grandmas. We love you. May we learn from how loved you are and strive to touch half as many hearts as you did.

This is dedicated to the memory of Kim Cheshire, wonderful wife, mother, and friend.

Newbie

So I've decided to join the blog generation. I am not a good story writer or teller so it probably won't be too much fun to read. I just need a good way to keep family and friends updated. We just gave the great news to family that I am pregnant. We are so excited and will keep everyone up to date with all the details. We just got home from the John Mayer concert in Las Vegas. The concert was fantastic Vegas SUCKS!!! We loved the temple it was so beautiful. I will try to find exciting things to write. I love all of you :)
