A few more pictures

These are obviously from when we were still in the hospital. We have been home since Friday afternoon and things are going pretty well. My (Sara's) blood pressure is up but hopefully it will go down with the prescription she got todday. Emily arrived last night to help, and we are so grateful! Baby Jaina (pronounced Jay-nah; a few people have asked) is doing well and eating very well. Jeremy is trying to get some studying in for several tests today and tomorrow. We are keeping busy!

New Baby!!

Sara and I are pleased to welcome little Jaina Marie to our family. She came today december 12th at about 5:20. She is 6lbs 12 ounces and 17 inches long. She is beautiful and we love her.

She's Here!

The Blog Gets Even Better

Sara and I just figured out that I can post on the blog too!! Now it truly is the Reilly and Co. blog.

This is our car like two days ago when I got out of school.

A real post

So I thought I should probably actually update my blog, instead of posting little surveys... As you can see from these pictures, it's starting to get quite cold here!

Yes, that is my coat that actually fits me in my real life. It took me safely (and mostly warmly) through BYU, and I'm glad to have it, even if it only buttons in one place currently...

We had quite the ice storm (though not a big one, from what I hear) Saturday, and all the tree branches were coated in clear ice by that evening. (As well as our car) Lots of roads and freeways were closed, and it took Jeremy like 20 minutes to defrost and scrape (and hack at) our windshield enough to drive to the Institute Christmas party. It was a little crazy...The high today is supposed to be 33 degrees, and the warmest it's supposed to feel is 25... It's going to be a very different winter for us, especially with two little ones.
Reilly is doing well. He's over 14 months old now and learning new things every day. He has no idea what's in store for him sometime in the next month. It's hard, because though he's growing up, he still seems like a baby in a lot of ways. I know he'll adjust without too much trouble, but I still feel sad that I won't be able to give him so much attention soon.
I am almost 37 weeks pregnant, and everything still looks good. Since I never actually went into labor with Reilly, I'm a little nervous about how all of that works, and I'm just praying I won't go late! I'm looking forward to my sister Emily coming on the 16th; it will be so nice to have some extra help and company.

High School Times (random fun post)

1. Who were your best friends? Cindy, Loni, Athena, Heather, and Jennifer.

2. What sports did you play? Oh, you don't want to see me try sports...

3. What kind of car did you drive? A '98 Chevy Cavalier (I continued to drive it until last January!)

4. On a Friday night what were you doing? At a football game (sometimes in the band) or lip synching or driving to Safford, or watching a movie, or sitting around with some of us saying "let's DO something..."

5. Were you a party animal? Nope.

6. Were you considered a flirt? Another nope.

7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? I was in band soph and sr years, and in a choir (Pima didn't really have a real choir...or any kind of orchestra, for that matter) my senior year.

8. What happened to number 8?

9. Did you ever get suspended/expelled? No. I might have had detention once? That might have been junior high.

10. Can you still sing the fight song? I don't think anyone actually knew the words... I can sing the melody. (It's the Notre Dame fight song)

11. Who was your favorite teacher? I'm not sure. Mr. Henson until he left. Probably Mr. Arave (history) or Mrs. Moody (business and F.B.L.A.) I think.

13. Name the school's full name. Pima High School.

14. School mascot? a Roughrider

15. School colors? Blue and Gold

16. Rival high school? We always thought it was Thatcher, but Jeremy doesn't seem to think they cared one way or the other about us... sigh.

17. Did you go to Prom? Yes.

18. If you could go back and do it again, would you? It was fun to have less responsibility and more free time, but definitely not. Now college....

19. What do you remember most about graduation? Um, it was fun? I remember worrying about the slide show working, and hoping my speech wouldn't be too stupid, and staying up all the night that night. We had a good time. All 42 of us...

20. Where did you go Senior Skip Day? Actually I missed the memo on that one because no one could decide until like the day of... Athena went to Fry Mesa. Heather and I went to school... Boring, I know.

21. Favorite memory? I'm not sure. Trips for different activities were usually cool, Spring Flings were fun, FBLA Nationals in Orlando, FL was cool, the crazy studying we did for Arave's tests, just hanging out being silly with my friends, our graduation party

22. Were you in any clubs? FBLA, NHS, Student Council (2 years), Knowledge Bowl (freshman year), I think that's it?

23. Have you gained some weight since then? Um, mostly lost, but gained and lost a lot (and repeated) in the last 2 years... (the whole pregnancy thing does that to you...)

24. Who was your Senior prom date? Bruce Bryce. It was fun.

25. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? I hope so, if I can get there and if it happens!

29. Did you win prom king or queen? :) Uh, no.

30. Where did you work in high school? I never had a job. My dad discouraged it, and since I didn't have too expensive of tastes, I didn't need to. I worked here and there babysitting for my parents and cleaning model homes to get some spending money.

31. What were your grades?

A's. Sometimes people thought we were crazy, but I still don't regret working hard and learning now to study and do well.

32. What was your dress style? Um, some strange version of what everyone else was wearing 2 years before? ;-)

33. What year did you graduate? 2000
