It just occured to me that I have not written anything for months. Not for a lack of things to write about, but more just being lazy. I often think about what I want to share and then before you know it, two months have passed. Hopefully I can remember some highlights…..

We have survived our first quarter at Seattle Pacific…whew! What a whirlwind.  Brian’s job continues to keep him busy from sun up to sun down. Despite what he may feel, he is doing a great job of learning a new, fast paced job while maintaining a life with his family!  My job continues to go smoothly and I am enjoying the company of my friends at work. Izzy loves her nannies as they give her unconditional love and attention!

Christmas was spent in Seattle as the Adams clan made their way west. We were all able to enjoy a few days together in a nearby town along the Puget Sound. It was great to not have to travel this year and still be able to see loved ones. Thank you mom and dad for making it all happen!

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of new baby girl Jensen. Our official due date is Feb. 11, but we all believe it will be sooner.  Brian has bets that it will be tonight, so we will keep you posted! I have been having contractions sporadically for the last week and can tell it is coming soon, but I’m not about to guess when it will be exactly.  I’m just hoping for before the 11th!  We are hoping that Isabel will continue to enjoy her life as a ‘momma’ after the baby is actually here. All day long she cares for her baby dolls, so I’m hoping this is a good sign. However, I am trying to remain realistic that it could be a hard transition for her. We shall see!

She has quite the vocabulary and it continues to grow everyday as she repeats everything she hears. Hopefully the college students will not be teaching her too many new words!  Her latest from this evening was ‘chill out’. Very cute! She is now a big fan of Elmo, Curious George, and the muppets and asks to watch them everyday or read one of her Elmo or Curious George books. She received a trike for Christmas and is barely able to touch the pedals, but she does enjoy sitting on it and pushing it along with her feet. We are awaiting the day that she disappears down the hall at full speed!

Hopefully we will have a baby update soon! Our friends in Beaver Falls, the other Jensen’s, just had their baby girl, Zoe last night! We are so excited for them and hope their transition to two kids goes smoothly.  I was able to speak to Sara today and I’m hoping my body will take the hint and get to work! I also had a massage today by a lady who specializes in prenatal massage, so maybe that will also help!
