“The home is the great laboratory of love. There the raw chemicals of selfishness and greed are melded in the crucible of cooperation to yield compassionate concern and love one for another. (See Mosiah 4:14–15; D&C 68:25–31.)” -Elder Russell M. Nelson

Already scaring mommy and daddy
So this morning Eric and I were in a hurry to get to my doctor's appointment. We had thought it was later than it really was, but once we got there and everything got started we were Ok. That is until our midwife tried to measure Mackenzie's heart rate and we found that she had a slight problem. Her heart would beat twice and then pause, then beat twice. So we had to go and have a non-stress test and then another ultra-sound. In the end the hear irregularity just looks to be something that will clear up after she is born and we were sent home. But for a little while it was a little unnerving not knowing what to think or whether or not they would want to deliver her today. But thankfully we can wait for a little while longer. I have to give props to Eric who stayed really calm during all of this and was right by my side the whole time. I am so grateful for sucha loving husband.

We may have a home!
So, I know it has been a little while and there is a lot to tell. First Eric is feeling much better. He still has a cough but other than that he is doing well. Next Mackenzie and I are doing fine. She is very happy with making her presence known and while it hurts sometimes I am fine with it. Finally the big news we may have our first house! Our offer was accepted today so now the work really beginning with getting the mortage and all the inspections before our closing date, which ironically is the day before my due date. So this is going to be an interesting next few weeks. However, those of you who know me know I would not want it any other way. Well other than those things there is not but more to tell. I will post pictures of the house soon along with other requested pictures. Have a great week!

Fall in all it's glory.
So things are going well. We have started to seriously look for a house in Magna, Mackenzie is healthy and Eric is doing great in school. We have just had one minor hitch. Eric has Swine Flu! Now it is not as bad as it sounds. He is on the mend and actually looks pretty cute in his mask. The hard part for me is just not being able to kiss him and also watching him wither in pain from his cough. The only other thing is that I had to replace my computer after water got spilled on it, which is partly why it has been so long between posts. But other than that Eric is doing well and so are we. Well that is all for now. I hope all of you are doing well and staying healthy. Have a great fall!
