New niece, new meds, and new calling

Hmm... lots of new things... maybe I shouldn't give it that title? lol.

First of all I got a new calling! I've been released as 2nd Counselor in Primary and put into Relief Society as Secretary! This if the first time I've done this calling so it's all new but it's such a blast! I love the presidency and have fit in very quickly. I can't say enough how much this has been a blessing to me and has made my heart happy.

New meds... well I went to the doctor and am now on some new meds (okay, so I wasn't on any before). Won't go into drastic details but things are good, I'm happy, and we'll all survive. lol. Not something I hide but not something I tell everyone KWIM?

Anyways, I also have a new niece (sheesh, forget that one? lol... should have been first I suppose). I haven't been in contact with SIL in over a year, I think the last time we were on friendly terms was when her MIL died and she had a miscarriage all at the same time (within a week). It was horrible and she'd had a previous miscarriage so we needed to be apart for a while. It's been hard, I've missed her. Anyways, she gave birth to a baby girl this morning at12:30 am (*really* early this morning). She's teeny at 6 lbs 3 oz (okay, for me a full term baby at that size would be a miracle as my "smallest" full term baby was 7 lbs 10 oz). She is named Isabelle JaeLynn and she's apparently cute as can be, very hispanic looking thanks to her daddy but also a little like her mom (a blondie). Cute. For those who may know them Janine is 41 I believe and her hubby is... in his early 60's. Not your typical family by any means... this is her 4th little girl. (She has girls that are grown... they are 21 and the other is 20 in September... and then the other daughter will be 7 in a few weeks). On another note her said soon to be 20 year old is pregnant along with her mom, she's having her 2nd baby (she has a daughter who will be 2 in Sept) and this one will be a boy.

Ray's brother Richard's wife is due next month with their first son, fifth child. Then my niece is due in August with her first son, second child. Then James, the baby, and his wife are due in September with their first baby, another boy. This is exciting though because at the moment there are 13 grand-kids (well, as of today) and only 3 of those 13 are boys. lol.

Looong story there, sorry. Off to drink some sprite, this medicine is making me nauseated... lovely... hope that doesn't last....

I also got a new calling. TEN years in primary! Now I'm the 16 and 17 year old teacher. Its wierd cuz I have some of the same kids I taught in Primary ten years ago now. I really enjoyed it last week and was so happy when two different kids came up and told me that they haven't had a great lesson in forever and they can't wait to come again to my class next week! Made me feel great. I did cry my last week in Primary (Thanks to Heather!!!) but it is a good thing, for me and my kids....gives them a chance to go to Primary without mommy always there!
