My new sweet baby - Navvi

babies
What do you think about my little new baby Navvi?
MakeMeBabies.com - What will your baby look like?

You'll have to tryout this website and see what your kiddos might look like. It's kinda fun! She actually turned out pretty cute, I think... We MIGHT just be alright. hehe

Such an AMAZING family!

A friend of mine is wanting to add to their family through adoption. They feel strongly that their family is not complete and would like your help in completing it! If you wouldn't mind helping out, please copy and paste this post into a post of your own on YOUR blog. And have your blogging buddies do the same! The more people that see this, the better their chances get. What a great home they would be blessed into if I say so myself. Such wonderful loving people!


We are the Yeager family! We live in Southeast Idaho. We are Scott (36), Mykalee (31), Katie (9), Jack (8), Rebekah (5), and Olivia (3). We have been so blessed. We have four healthy kids and have made many happy memories together already. I (Mykalee) have horrible pregnancies. All four kids have been difficult to get here. I get Hyperemesis Gravidarum- which means morning sickness times a billion, 24 hours a day for most of the 9 months. The easiest thing to describe it as is food poisoning. Anyway, that's not necessarily why we want to adopt. We have jumped into all of our pregnancies without a second thought. Even after Katie's- the worst one (I lost 30 lbs in the 1st trimester), I didn't need convincing or strong promptings. I knew what I was in for and was okay with it. Scott and I have talked about having a large family since our first date. He is a fantastic dad and I have always known I was born to be a mother. We decided to stop at four after Olivia was born, even though we wanted more. The feeling that we aren't complete has gotten VERY strong recently. We prayed about another pregnancy, and got without a doubt a NO. I have to admit there was some relief. We were sure we weren't done discussing our family with the Lord, but had never really considered adoption. Well, through separate and joined answers to prayer, we KNOW this is what we are supposed to be doing. So, if you know of or hear of a potential birth mother that wants to place her baby(or babies- we'd love twins!) in a loving home, please direct her to us. You can show her our family blog, where she can get a feel for the kind of family we are, at :

Thank you so much! We really are grateful for your help in growing our family through adoption!
Love,

The Yeagers

BLESSED!!! knocked up and happy!





Miracles happen everyday. But this one is a true miracle. One I just can't get over. So like I have said in a previous post that we had some options to choose from on different ways to conceive. Right when we almost had enough money saved up to try the shots. And right when I seriously almost gave up on even trying thinking that maybe motherhood just wasn't for me. We found out I was expecting!!! After much shock & joyful tears looks like I'm going to be a "mother" afterall! We honestly couldn't be happier! This is how we found out:

me:"That's weird I haven't started yet?"
Ty:"Let's go buy a test."
me:" No, so we can have the test say 'NO' again. What a waste!"
Ty:"And what if you are?"
me: "Doubt it! Don't want to get my hopes up."
(in the store, in test isle)
Ty:(picking up condoms)"Well, if you are looks like there would be no need for these."
me: "WOW."
(leaving store so EMBARRASSED!)
Ty:"You have to take the test tonight!"
me:"Heck no. Works best in the morning."
Ty:"Come on! (as he's getting ready to shower) Just take the test and leave in on the back of the tiolet. But don't look at it!"
me:"Are you kidding me? And what if it says 'NO'?!"
Ty:"Then it says 'NO'. But how cool would that be if I found out before you?"
me:"Alright!"
(take test. Go in living room.)
(Ty coming in living room)
Ty:"Liz! You're going to be a mom!!"
me:"No way!"
Ty:"Come see!"
me:"Oh my word!"
TEARS OF PURE JOY!!!

By the way I have been going to the gym with my older sis Nannie. And anyone that knows her knows that she knows everything or she will know soon. And she asked me for the last 3 wks if I was prego. So of course I lied to her (which I don't ever do). She'd ask if I was going to go tanning today and if I'd go to Lava Hot Springs with them (hot tubbing)! Pure torture!!! But I did last a whole lot longer than I thought be telling her I started!!! hahahaha....I'm mean!

We ended up telling both families on Easter Sunday by putting the little ultrasound pic on the fridges! haha... we're evil like that! At brother Chris's house his wife GariLu and sis Nannie were arguing over whose it was when it was mine! That was hilarious!!!
So it'll(baby) be the 18TH grandchild on my side! And the 1ST on Ty's side!
Due date November 30TH!!!

Selfish Me



When my brother was in a nursing home
Lying on his death bed soon to die.
I was taking a shower just getting ready
Hoping to see him again alive.

My father asked me why I was getting all ready
And to hurry we don't want to be late.
I answered,"I want him to remember me pretty
And not to worry because Zach will wait."

On our way to the nursing home I remembered
The blessing my father gave the night before.
How mad I was when I heard him ask to take him
So he could be in a better place and feel pain no more.

I believed a miracle would happen
And that he'd turn out all right.
When I looked at him with his oxygen mask on
I had a feeling the miracle was not in sight.

As we walked into the nursing home
There wasn't a person whitout eyes full of tears.
And then there came my sister Natalie
Yelling,"This just isn't fair!"

I ran inside his room and then to his bed
Hoping to get a reply and that he wouldn't be dead.
I grabbed his hand and told him how much I loved him
It was then that I heard a voice and it said:

"I know you wanted him to stay
But I had a different plan today."
I looked at my mother who was sitting by his bed
She said,"There was no way", as she shook her head.

I gave him a hug and then kissed his cheek
At that point I was feeling very weak.
I couldn't help but to burst into tears
Knowing that that was one of my worst fears.

Losing a brother was one of the hardest trials
And boy was I in so much denial.
I had wished things would not have to be
But then again what SELFISH ME!!!

--Elizabeth Blatter (Zach's baby sister)
Zach passed away 7 years ago on March 26th, 2002 from testicular cancer. This is a poem I wrote in high school remembering my thoughts and feelings as I reflect on this very hard day of my older brother's passing. I LOVE you Zach and miss you tons!!! I know I'll see you again!!!

Love,
Booger

"Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palms of His hands." (That's embroidered in his casket.)
