IT'S A SWEET BABY GIRL!!

We had our first ultra-sound and found out that we are having a little girl. We are very excited and as of right now we are going to name her

Jaylee McKell Judd

Here she is making her debut... waving at the camera!!

Here she is laying face down in the placenta. You can see her head, spine, and little legs that were kicking my side the whole time. But I couldn't feel a thing.

Here is her belly and right now we like to call her Jalien...

do to her alien like facial features ;)

We can't wait to have her here!!

Pregnancy Update

I know what you are all thinking... this girl hasn't updated in two months and now she does three posts in one day!!! Anyway just to give you a little update with the baby, I am now 15 weeks along. People keep telling me that I should be feeling better by now and so Cory and I are just waiting for that day to come. Don't ask me why but I thought I would be one of the girls that never got sick while pregnant, but I have been proven wrong. I have visited the E.R. twice and am now on anti-naseau medicine. We have got to hear the baby's heartbeat three times and it gets better everytime. Just the other day the lady got the baby in a really good spot and we could hear it loud and clear. It was beating at 156 times per minute. The lady said that was really good and it was healthy. We are thinking about going to find out the sex of the baby in the next two weeks so we may have an announcement really soon!!! Cory has been positive that it is a little boy since the very beginning while I have been positive that it is a little girl......up until the other day when we heard the heartbeat. Now we are both thinking that it is a little boy. So what do you think boy or girl?!??!

David Archuleta Day!!!

David Archuleta is from Murray, UT. and he made it to the final three. Yesterday he came back to Utah and they had all sorts of festivities for him. Cory decided to go and he ended up getting some awesome pictures! So here he is David Archuleta!!

Cory's Graudation

On May 2nd Cory graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelor's Degree in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism with an emphasis in Sport Management. I am so proud of all his hard work.

Here he is walking to get his diploma!

YAY!!

Congrats Cory! I am so proud of you and can't wait for graduate school.

Extra Extra Read All About It!!!

Since the last post the Judd family has been getting some very exciting news. We found out that we are expecting our first baby November 1, 2008. I am currently 7 weeks along and feeling pretty good, other than I am really tired. We go to our first appointment next week.



We also found out that my handsome and intelligent husband has been accepted to a graduate program at the University of New Mexico. We will be moving in August and will be living there for the next two years.

We are excited and scared for our new adventures but can't wait to experience them together. We also can't wait to welcome a little baby into our family!!!

Tag I am It!

Ten Years Ago:
I was 12 years old which puts me in 6th or 7th grade! I probably thought I was way cooler than I really was.

Five Places I have lived:
Sad to say, but I only have 4!
Lindon, UT
London, England
Sandy, UT (1st Apartment)
Sandy, UT (2nd Appartment)

I am sure within the next three years this list will grow quite a bit!

3 Bad Habits:
Hmmmm................ This is a hard one, I am sure Cory could tell you several!
1. Washing and drying the laundry but not actually folding it and putting it away.
2. Looking at blogs. . . seriously it needs to stop!
3. Getting mad over stupid little things.

Places you have worked:
Hahaha... there are only two!
1. Pizza Factory in Lindon.
2. Ridgeline Elementary, kindergarten teacher.

5 things you don't know about me:
1. I absolutely hate animals. Mark my words we will never be a family that has animals, unless it is a couple fish in a fish tank.
2. I love kids! I guess that is kind of obvious from teaching kindergarten. But I really enjoy listening to all the things that they say. They never hold back the truth.
3. I love to travel, especially with my husband. Since we have been married we have been to Boston, MA., Seattle, WA., and Jackson, Tenn. all of which I have never been to.
4. I guess you could say that I am a home body. I love to be at home and spend time with Cory. Currently this doesn't happen very much, but we look forward to the day that it will.
5. I dream of opening a preschool. When we build a house I would love to build a one room school house in our backyard and teach preschool out of it.

That is it! Hope you enjoyed:)

Trapped at school for 30 hours!!

Wednesday, February 13, 2007 I was almost done with a long day of teaching school. At about 3:20, ten minutes before the kids get out of schol, I look outside and see that it is snowing AGAIN! We finished cleaning up and I sent my students out to their buses. Fifteen minutes late our principal gets on the intercom and tells all the teachers that they need to leave the school asap because the weather is getting worse. By the time I had packed up all my stuff to leave, the snow storm was so bad that we had no choice but to stay. It was snowing so hard that you couldn't see anything but white, and the winds were blowing 75 mph.

4:30 rolls around and they announce that all eight of our school buses never made it home and that the buses were all stuck. The buses were trying to turn around and get the kids back to the school. The students started trickling in two hours later at 6:30. My students were in my classroom doing anything and everything they wanted. Painting, dancing, playing with playdough, reading, you name it. My classroom was a tornado!

At about 9:30 we still had two buses full of kids that were still stuck (let me remind you that they had now been in the bus for six hours). The police brought kids by the car load back to the school while the other bus was sent to a near by church. By this time parents had brought TONS of food, sleeping bags, and blankets! Most of the kids thought that it was pretty cool, because they made it on the news and they got to sleepover at the school. As for me, I didn't think it was cool that at 12:00 AM the district was still telling us that we would have to wake up and teach school. After much complaining by teachers the district decided to cancel school the following day. And I finally made it home around 10:00 A.M. on Valentine's Day! All I can say is that it was an adventure that most won't ever experience.

P.S. For everyone who has ever wondered if the floors at an Elementary School are comfortable to sleep on, the answer is no! I got about an hour of sleep.
