Cayden came home on November 8th! The doctor has been thrilled with the progress he has made; gaining an ounce a day he is acting like a normal 7 or 8 poundbaby rather than a 5 pound preemie.Of course since he has a smaller stomach he is waking up every 3-4 hours to eat, quite a difference from Braxton. He has inherited Curt's curly hair, and will be known in our house as curly Cayden.

Braxton is not sure what to think of him yet, but he is starting to understand that Cayden isn't going anywhere. As soon as he wants us to go and play he walks the crib and starts jabbering, there is no mistaking that he wants us to put Cayden down. My mom was here for two weeks wich helped ensure that he had more than enough attention during the transition. He is etting so big, and we can hardly believe all that he is learning.

Thank you to everyone who kept Cayden in their prayers. We feel so blessed in so many different ways. We are grateful to be able o live in a country and at a time with such great healthcare. We are grateful to know that we have a Heavenly Father who is watching over us. The ten days that Cayden was in the NICU we felt such love from Heavenly Father. We know that without him there is nothing, and we know that it is because of his mercy that Cayden is able to be with us today. Thank you again for all the thoughts and prayers, you will never know how much it meant to us.

Cayden James Daich was born on October 30th at 1:14 pm. He was so anxious to meet his new family that he came a little more than 4 weeks early. He is 5 pounds 5 ounces, and is extremely small. We were able to spend the first hour and a half with him before they took him to NICU. We figure he just wanted to go vist his friend Easton (Scott and Teisha's baby). He was having a little trouble breathing so they took him to give him some oxygen and run some tests. So far it appears that the tests came back showing no problems, but we are waiting to hear from the doctor. We will keep everyone updated as we find out more. Thanks for all the support!

Ok, so Kimi just pointed out to us just how bad we are at keeping this updated. So sorry to those who rely on this as a connection to our life. We had such a fun summer, and with the weather being so nice lately it is hard to believe that fall is here.
About a week ago we woke up to 4-5 inches of snow. Nothing beats Utah weather.... its 60 degrees one day, and snowing the next! We bundled Braxton up and took him outside to play. He loved it! He especially loved throwing snow balls and demolishig the snow man. It was so fun to be able to see him growing up, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life!
Braxton is getting so big and active. He loves to be able to jump, run, and do anything that helps to get his energy out. He is a handful, and there is never a dull moment. Now that I am about 8 months pregnant it makes it a little harder to keep up with him, but I try my best.
Curt has started his MBA, and although he wasn't very excited about it, he is enjoying the pace of the MBA program more than he did his bachelor's. I updated the pictures, and hope that you enjoy them. I promise that I will try harder to update the blog, especially when the baby comes.

Man, time flies!!! There seems to be so much that has happened since we last wrote that I hardly know where to start. First we have new photos, so make sure that you check them out!
For those who have not already heard, we are expecting our second baby boy. I am about 19 weeks along, and can hardly believe that I will soon be the mother of two. The due date is December 2nd, however they will most likely start me about 10 days early because of how fast my last labor was (I don't want to deliver from home). So he has a very good chance of being born on mine and my niece's birthday (Nov. 19), or my other niece's birthday (Nov. 22). We are very excited, and now just enjoying the time we have with just Braxton.
We went on our big vacation, and got back a week ago. It was so much fun!!! We only went to Sea World since I couldn't go on any of the rides anyways. We spent two days there and loved every minute. Braxton was great, and he loved watching all the animals. We were a little worried about the shows, but with the music and the animals jumping he loved it. From there we went on our cruise. We had a blast, and although it was extremely different cruising with a toddler, we were never bored. Braxton loved the beaches, and couldn't get enough of the sand and water. He almost always threw a fit when we left, unless of course he had fallen asleep. He did great considering the major change in his schedule.
We also found out this last week that Curt was accepted into the MBA program at Weber, which according to him is "horrible news". We are hoping that it will only be one or one and a half years since he did so many classes for his minor in business. He will start this fall, so we will have to get back in the school groove of not seeing each other very much. I know that he will really miss the time he would have to spend with Braxton and the new baby, and I know that they will miss him too, especially Braxton who loves the daddy play-time. However, I think, and I am trying to convince Curt that it will all be for the best in the end.
So, needless to say the summer has been busy, fun, and full of new experiences. Hope all is well with everyone, and would love to hear from you.
