Diana's Baby Update


I am an Aunt. Diana had baby June about 1am our time Saturday March 6th. The baby was 3.25kg (I think about 8 lbs 2 oz). She has a full head of dark hair. Diana said she has her nose and mouth but Sunil's eyes. Her official name is Junu Paige Percival Gurun. Diana did have a c-section but everything turned out well. Diana is a very proud momma.

Location #3 - Mira Loma, CA

Johnny was called out today. Yeah. He was called at 6:30am and told to be in Pomona, CA by noon. Not much notice but that is the way it goes. He will actually be working for Henkels & McCoy out of Mira Loma, CA on a Distribution project. Johnny is SUPER excited!

It is funny how things work out. I of course had a big freak out moment yesterday when Johnny called the apprenticeship office to see where he was on the active out of work list. He was told #11. Since he started at #23 in December I was, well, freaking out saying things such as "At this rate you will be out of work until July." Johnny my constant rock was faithful as always and said "it is going to happen soon." He has done this multiple times before. He proves time and time again to be like Lot, and that leaves me as, you guessed it; Lot's wife. I tend to not look forward with the faith I should trusting that the Lord has never let us down even for a second. I get scared and frustrated. I don't always allow myself to trust in the Lord's plan for my life. This exact same thing happened when we were trying to get pregnant with Daniel. I was going to so many doctors, seeing the result of test after test only to be told I could not have children. I was a crying ball of goo and Johnny didn't seem very concerned. That is how I took it anyway. It was not lack of concern on his part, it was faith in the Lord's plan for our life together. He knew we would have kids (the 3 in 3 1/2 years came as quite a surprise to both of us).

So now we move forward together with more faith. We are going to put the trailer in storage and set up residence here at my parent's house while Johnny is working in Mira Loma. It is about a 45 minute commute from Hemet. Not too bad. The boys are excited to stay and I am excited to feel like I am no longer waiting for the sky to fall in on us. Progress! That is what I have been looking for. Some feeling of moving in the right direction. I am looking forward to sleeping a lot better at night.

How am I going to survive another 3 years of living like this? Sheesh!

Jaxon Update

Today I took Jaxon to see a doctor at Rady Children's Hospital. Too bad I had to take all 3 boys with me because it really made the appointment a nightmare. Dr. Garcia was great and talked to me about an action plan for Jaxon. His last scope to check his eosinophil count was in June 09. We are going to scope him again to see where we are. Depending on the results we will add some of the "big ones" (egg, dairy, wheat, nuts, corn, etc.). I am not sure on the order yet but the plan is to add one every 3 months then scope again. It feels good to have a plan but at the same time I like that Jaxon has been doing really well food wise for so long (mostly due to my lack of trying new foods). I am scared of the vomiting, crying, tummy aches, sleepless nights, etc. if he reacts to something. As he gets older he really needs more variety. I am hoping this will give us more variety and more answers.

Sorry, no pictures. I almost snapped a pic at the appointment of Daniel checking Jaxon's tummy with Jaxon's feet in the stirrups, but the nurse came in the room. Too bad, it was hilarious.
