Hello Everyone!
As most of you know, Jon and I are expecting our first child in December. Guess what?! It's a boy! We are so happy to welcome a baby boy to the family, though I am fairly certain I am now officially outnumbered. Even Bailey and Eli are both boys!
Speaking of Eli, he is so happy to have a new "best friend." He can't get enough of me. He follows me around, sleeps next to me and is always sniffing me as if I am hiding a milk bone under my shirt. It's adorable! I don't think Bailey knows, or if he does, doesn't care. Sounds about right for Bailey! I am looking forward to see how they react to our new little one.
Jon is so excited to be a dad, though to be honest I think the idea of a boy kind of scared him at first. I had a hunch this was a boy from the get go, so I was prepared when baby p showed his stuff on the ultrasound. What an amazing experience to see your baby on the screen. He's an active guy so getting him to lay still for a photo was nearly impossible. When he did, he covered his face. Shy baby!
Life on the rez hasn't changed for us much. Other than getting a nursery ready and making plans for the baby, life is as usual. Jon is still in school and working part time. I am still working at the hospital. Although it seems like we aren't nearly as busy now that our Sioux Falls trips have decreased considerably since fertility was done. Not so much car time has been nice!
We look forward to fall (cooler weather and lower electric bills) and the trips we have planned to Omaha. One of my best friends is getting married this fall and I am so honored to be a bridesmaid. She may regret her choice when I waddle down the aisle.
We hope this finds you all well!
XOXO
Jon, Jill, Baby P and the furry boys!
