Life this year

So this year has been a crazy one already! So here is my best to fit it all in.

Steve got a call back from Idaho for the job at the Site, he is now in the top 8 people being looked at out of the 650 that applied and then the 35 that got interviews and now the top 8, and 4 are being hired. He toured the areas he could that he didn't need a clearance for and felt really good about the job. The benefits are really great, the pay is twice what we make now, which we will never make here in Utah, and it's in a place where we feel like home. We would be living in the Idaho Falls area. We have no idea when we will be starting the job though. Right now we are going through an FBI clearance which they say could take anywhere from 4 months to a year and a half, so it's just waiting, waiting, waiting. I guess the FBI puts this more on the non important list, so we are really hoping they get it done in the 4 month time period so we don't have to sit in limbo for so long.
We got word from our renters that they had purchased a house and were going to be out March 1st. So we are really excited to be moving back to Eagle Mountain next month. I am really antsy to be on my own again and have a place that is more secure for my kids. It has been really rough on my oldest, KaraLynn, especially. She acts out a LOT and I can't seem to make it stop. There is not enough consistency in discipline and things that she can and can't do. The past few nights have been the worst. She has been waking up in the middle of the night and coming upstairs to sleep on the couch which I don't mind as long as she is quiet, but then she decided to start waking up Brynlee to play because she was bored, which did not set well with me. So then I told her she had to stay in her room when she woke up. The next night she wouldn't even sleep in her room and she would scream for about 3 hrs! She said she was scared of her room and the monsters that would come out of pictures and through her windows. That did not set well with me since I had such bad experiences when I was little. So I decided not to ignore it and also decided she was too young at 3 yrs old to be sleeping in her own room in the basement by herself. So since there is no where else for her to go, she now has a bed on our floor at the foot of our bed until we move back into our house in march. So we are hoping it is a fast fly by month.
Our baby is growing normal and healthy so far! I am due June 18Th 2010 and we are expecting another girl. It is my favorite part and something I have major withdrawals from when they are born, when they kick me. I love being able to feel her move around and know her moods and when she isn't too happy with me. She is EXTREMELY active and even my doctor was getting frustrated because he was trying to measure her but she would keep doing somersaults making it hard for him to measure her head. Too funny. We are so excited to meet her in June! Just a few short months away. Another reason why I an anxious to get back into the house. There is no way we would be able to fit 3 kids here.
Last night I had the strangest dream, but it was such a good one. I went into labor and Steve wouldn't be there because he was stuck at work. When the baby was born the doctor handed her to me and said congratulations, you have a beautiful healthy baby BOY! I was like wait I was supposed to have a girl???!!! I was so happy but sad cause Steve couldn't be there to see his son be born. But once he got there it was so great, and we ended up naming him Cooper Stephan Ohngren. He was so precious and I still remember how it felt to hold that new baby in my arms, the smell and the feel of his skin against mine. It really is the most incredible feeling ever. I am extremely excited for our little girl to come, but if she turned out to be a boy in the end I wouldn't not mind that so much:)
Well that is us for now. Busy Crazy life, but wouldn't trade a second of it!
