Goodbye, hello, another trip to the hospital for my baby...

Our family is moving: (scroll down for pic's)
It's been a very busy few weeks for our family. It's time for Aaron to go to school. Our older kids are growing so fast, we don't want to miss any more time with them. We've decided it's best for our family to move to Nevada. We're leaving Idaho and moving on. Aaron is very happy to return "home." I am happy, but, very very SAD to leave my entire family and home! I've been struggling with it for a long time. When I finally moved back "home," to Idaho after my mission, I decided it was permanent. I'd spent enough time away from my side of the family and I wouldn't do it again. Of coarse, I hadn't thought about the possibility of marrying and having reason to leave my home. Now with Hailey, it's even harder to take her so far away. All of her cousins, Aunts, Uncles (except for Uncle Art :), and grandparents (except for Nana) live in Idaho. I always felt so bad for my cousins that didn't live near my grandparents. I felt like they missed out on so much! It's going to take work, but, I'm determined for Hailey to spend as many holidays and as much time back in Idaho as possible. I don't want her growing up seeing the family once or twice a year. For myself, it's a priority for Hailey!! Anyway, so... I had surgery to remove my gallbladder. Gosh~ I haven't felt this good in months! Then, my little beauty had a scare and ended up in the ER. Turns out, there's more to that story... I'll tell more about that in a bit. We had the moving truck scheduled for the 2nd week in April and had given notice to our landlord. We had to get our stuff to Nevada asap so Aaron could return the moving truck on time. ** by the way, if you ever have to move out of state... use BUDGET! The price difference was thousands of dollars ** So, Daddy left... Hailey and I have been staying at Mom's. We really miss Daddy. He really misses us too. I can't wait to give Aaron a hug!! I've been staying at my job waiting for Aaron to find work so we could follow him to Nevada. No luck yet~ we're still in Idaho.


Hailey's babysitters:
Hailey's been blessed with wonderful babysitters! Tara (the bishop's wife in Amy's ward) and her family took Hailey right in for 3 weeks. They treated her like their own. Hailey loved being with them. Thank you so much Tara & your family, too! Grandma Shelley was my lifesaver!! She took Hailey while I had surgery and then some time after while trying to recoup. Hailey had a ball and loves being with them so much... I can't repay you for all you've done for us! Thanks Shell!! And, now... Hailey is with Miss Rita and Miss Amie. They're a very sweet and kind family we've known for years. They're so good to Hailey. My poor baby gets up early w/Me and we drive an hour to the babysitters house. I then go to work (another 40min drive). Then, after spending the entire day with Miss Rita and Amie, I finally get to pick up my baby and drive the hour back to Grandma's house. We get there in just enough time to have dinner/bottle, give hay her bath, and lay her down for the night. :( It's so sad to me!! I HATE being without my baby and seeing her so little. We're managing... it's tough, but, it could be so much worse.


Since Daddy has been gone:
We've been able to see my nephew, "Abryn" play in his second T-Ball Game. (I promised Aaron I'd take lots of pic's since he couldn't be at Abryn's game with us.) What a fun opportunity for us. We spent Easter here at Grandma's house and were blessed with so much family. Hailey got spoiled! Mommy and Daddy got her a stuffed musical bunny and some Easter bunny Jammie's (notice in the pic the pink fluffy tail on her Jammie's). Grandma got her some really cute hair bands and some fun little bath toys! Can't wait to use all of them. Nana sent her some really cute foot rattles. Mommy is excited to try them on Hailey... I think tomorrow is perfect!

Some more updates:
Hailey at 3months easily rolled onto her back when ever she wanted to & sometimes without trying. Hailey last week (the day before Easter) rolled over completely twice! Yikes! She's my rolly polly bug. I think she's getting close to cutting teeth. Her hands/fists have become her favorite toy to chew on. She now knows VERY WELL how to pull the toy on her bouncy chair that plays a song... she loves it! A new development with her... she now HATES the bath! She screams thru the entire thing.
Hailey rolled all the way over
the day before Easter.
These pic's were on Easter:





Hailey learned how to pull her butterfly to hear
the song play on her bouncy seat all by herself!
(sorry it's sideways)


On our drive in to town and back to my parents house:
We've seen a lot of local animals. Tons of deer, bald eagles, gophers, geese, turkeys, and hawks. I'll miss my Idaho nature.

Hailey had a doctor's appointment on Friday (april 17th):
She's gained a few ounces... she's still 13lbs. Her pediatrician has some concerns and is questioning if Hailey really had a seizure or if something else is wrong. So, off to the hospital we'll be going, yet again, in the morning. I was instructed to be sure she is sleep deprived (which means I will be as well) because they're doing tests. She's going to have probes 0n her little head while they're monitoring her brain waves while she is asleep. They're also going to monitor her breathing, I think. Anyway, tomorrow will be long day and I hope all is well. I'm nervous, but, so happy they're doing the tests. I'd much rather she be tested and they find nothing, than, something be wrong and it be missed. I'll update you with results soon~ Sorry about the novel. My life's been busy and I've had no time to update the blog.
WE MISS DADDY SO MUCH!!!
