Anything is possible. You can be told that you have a 90-percent chance or a 50-percent chance or a 1-percent chance, but you have to believe, and you have to FIGHT

Quote

My sister in law left this quote in response to my previous post..
I have to admit at first i didn't realize it was a quote and i thought it was her words and i was thinking 'wow, she sounds like a profit' ha ha!
Thanks Jana :)

Many who think that life is unfair do not see things within the larger vision of what the Savior did for us through the Atonement and the Resurrection. Each of us has at times agony, heartbreak, and despair when we must, like Job, reach deep down inside to the bedrock of our own faith. The depth of our belief in the Resurrection and the Atonement of the Savior will, I believe, determine the measure of courage and purpose with which we meet life’s challenges." James E Faust

Baby news

Baby Dixon
Things are going well in this household. Crazy but well! We went to the Dr this week to see how the 'new baby' is doing and things are good! I am 11 weeks tomorrow and due on March 20. For those of you paying attention, Yup, that is Libbi's birthday! What are the odds :) We will find out the sex in October and have our targeted ultra sound in December. Same time as Libbi's was. We're hoping for a better December this time! Libbi's next cardiologist appt is also in December. The last few Decembers have brought bad news to our family. Not that i'm superstitious, but i wish we could skip to January! Life is a crazy whirlwind, we just have to hang on and enjoy the ride i suppose :)

On a sad note i have to tell you about my dear friends. They were expecting a baby boy on Sept 11 and she went in on Tues of this last week and was told her baby had no heartbeat and was no longer alive. They induced labor and she delivered early Wednesday morning. They are holding his funeral tomorrow. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I am baffled. 37 weeks along, no prior known problems.. what the heck? I'm very confused. For my friend, the dad, this was his first child. Mom has 3 older kids from a previous marriage and had no problems like this before. I know there is a plan, and a reason for everything, but it's really bothering me not knowing what happened that far along. Any insight?
Also, why is life so unfair? I need an answer cause i just don't get it. There are so many people out there wanting to have babies that can't get pregnant, or when they finally do something tragic like this happens. Then there are others out there that treat there babies like garbage, they don't take care of them in the womb, they don't love them when they arrive, and yet these babies are always healthy and fine. Where's the justice? My faith is being tried.

Surprise!!!

Announcing baby #4!
Due spring 2011
We are onto yet ANOTHER new and exciting adventure! (Because the last year and a half wasn’t exciting enough??)
4 kids? Really? Are you serious? Why have 4 kids you say? Because 3 is for wimps…wait I AM a wimp?
Although MANY measures were being taken to avoid any further children, the Lord sees something different for our family so we will embrace it.
We are extremely nervous and scared.
Jerzi is SUPER excited and already calls the baby Strawberry Shortcake (here we go again)
Koy wants a puppy not a baby 
Libbi has no clue what’s about to happen to her. Neglect. Maybe Koy is smart enough to know??
Kurt is excited, in a smirky, ‘I got my way’ sort of way.
Mindi is… well… fill in the blank cause she’s not sure.
All kidding aside, here we go again.
We will hope for the best.
Thanks for your support, we love you all.
Kurt.. Mindi.. Koy.. Jerzi.. Libbi..and baby

This is Paul Cardell's CHD video. (I put it at the bottom of the blog, it fits best there..) It is shocking how many people, young and old are dealing with the same type of things we are. Take 9 minutes and watch, these are some of the cutest babies i've seen!! Libbi is about 6 and a half minutes into the video. (make sure you scroll down and pause my music playlist so you can hear his music, he is a pianist, it is very pretty!)
