Humbly Overwhelmed - New Calling

So for those of you not of my faith, I wanted to preface this - but I wasn't exactly sure how to explain it. Then I remembered that my sis did a great job when she posted about her calling... so I am stealing the words from her: "A calling is like a 'job' at church. All teachers and leaders in our local congregations are non-paid volunteers. We are asked to perform a certain job by the leader of our congregation. We have the option to accept or decline. If we accept, we are then presented to the entire congregation for a sustaining vote. No position is sought after or campaigned for, but most choose to accept, no matter how difficult the 'job' might be." So a week ago I met with the Bishop of our ward (leader of our congregation) and he asked if I would accept a calling as the Young Women President of our ward. The Young Women (YW) organization is part of the youth group our Church has in place. It is basically for girls ages 12 to 18 to help them com

Baby #5 Story, Part I

**This post has been in my drafts to post since March. Just saying.** Yep. You (the two people who may actually still check my blog) heard me. Obviously, I wouldn't be lying. It really does take having another baby to get to me to actually write a blog post! Why is that? Probably because a baby birth story tends to be a bit longer than the paragraph-at-most that I put on facebook. Want the short(ened a bit) version? Here it goes... We have a full family. Three beautiful girls and a handsome son. Four children makes for a pretty big family already, right? Originally, when we were thinking about baby #4, I had this vision of having another boy and getting the even-steven two girls, two boys bit. Well, the Buggs had other plans, and she has been a delightful addition to our family. She's the most outgoing, most headstrong child we've had and it's already been a great ride having her. I wouldn't change my girl-boy-girl-girl situation one bit! Because I love t

And HERE She Is...

Now here's the good stuff! We have a new baby! I'm calling her the Buggs on the blog, but she does have a regular name. And it's really cute too, I promise. :) She was born on March 4th at 4:24pm and she was 7lbs, 10oz and 21.25 inches long. She's our biggest baby in weight and length. And now I know why my ribs always felt bruised and I had so much heartburn with this baby - I'm not a very tall person and she was kind of a long baby! And since I know everyone wants to hear the labor story... here's the short(er) version... I went in to be induced at 6am. I was already having contractions, so they didn't give me much pitocin. My labor with PJ was pretty quick and even Simster wasn't very long (less than 5 hours and I was induced without having had any contractions or anything). All of us - the nurses and the doctor and DH and I - were pretty confident that the Buggs would be born before noon for sure. No sweat, no problem, just quick and un
