Love... my sister Esther

I love my sister so much. I can't believe she came all the way over here to be with me during my special time. I would not have gotten through labor without her and I am so blessed to have someone love me so much like she does. She has taught me so much during my pregnancy and continues to go on while she is here... she is teaching me everything I need to know to be a great mother. I hope I turn out just like her because I know that she loves her kids more than anything. She has been such a blessing while being here with me and taking care of me. DH thinks she is so smart, "she already has her dr. degree... ask her anything and she knows it!" That is my sister... she knows how to describe everything and knows exactly what to say and do in any case. I love her so much and I can't explain what her being here means to me. She is such an awesome sister and mother and I am less scared of how I will do. Thanks sis for everything. It means the world to me that you are here... literally... you have helped me so much and have show Julius so much love in the past couple of days. I am so happy you could be with me during this important time of my life. You are the best!!!

Love... my baby

**Julius Paul Wolfe (aka JP)**

Day 3

I love my little Julius Paul Wolfe! His nickname is JP and he is everything to me. He was born on Saturday February 21st, 2009 at 4:17pm. His weight was 4 pds and 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. He is now 4 pds and 5 ounces but is growing strong. We had to stay in the special care nursery and are still here but he is fighting through!! He was 5 weeks early and has not learned the sucking and swallowing methods very well, but he is learning quickly and is doing great. He has jaundice and was on the photo therapy for one day and was able to get off of it today. He went from a 12.6 to a 9, which is completely fine for his size. He is digesting his formula and the colostrum better than he did before so today he was able to get his feeding tube taken out.

Day 2 with mommy

He has been latching on better than before and is keeping the weight. We are hoping to be out of here by Friday, but only if he is doing better. We are praying that he continues to gain the weight he needs to keep body fat on him and learns to feed a little better. So far God has really shown his blessing for us and our faith just continues to grow stronger everyday. Thank you to all of you who have been praying for us. I can't wait for Julius to come home and feel comfortable in his own environment. We have so many people who show so much love and care for us and we are so grateful for everyone who has been there for us. Thanks again and we will keep you posted!

Day 1 Just born

Love... She's Everything

Yes, I am in-love with this song... She's Everything by Brad Paisley. My DH dedicated this song to me... he heard it in Pullman when he was still there for a semester and I was over on the westside. This song is completely for us and we love it so much. It made him so happy that I put it on my play list... First I was looking at Deborah's page and he heard it and said, "wait... who stole my song?! This better not be on Deborah's page!!" lol I thought it was too funny...

Photo Tag!

So I opened my 6th file and then there were more files, so I opened the 6th file in that file and found the 6th picture. Lol... Now that I type it, I wish it was a different number. haha...
This is Sue and I when she came to visit me in Pullman with Tina and Deborah. It is nice to see this picture because now she lives in SAN FRAN and I never see or talk to her... what great memories!

LOVe... my siblings

Esther is always there to talk to... no matter what the question is, she seems to know exactly what the answer is... especially about babies. She loves talking about baby stuff and if you have no idea about something, just ask her... she will give you the whole definition!!


Sherry cracks me up... no matter what she is doing, she will always stop to hear what you have to say or tell you something to make you feel better. You always feel special when Sherry talks to you because you know how busy her life is and for her to stop and talk for even two minutes means so much.


Ondray... he is an odd one... he will just call you out of the blue and talk to you as if he talks to you everyday. Just to check on you, see how everything is, and make sure you are doing all right. After all, he is the only brother and it is his job to watch over his younger sisters! =)


Deborah... surprise!! That is what you get when you talk to her. One night I got a text message from her about bowel movements. Now I know this is crazy to say, but at 10pm, what else does she have to tell you?! She keeps a smile on my face and whenever I feel lonely, I can count on her to tell me something outrageous or thoughtful.


My siblings are amazing people. All of them have something to share and are great role models for me. I have learned so much from watching them grow, listening to their advice, and even observing their way of raising kids. My sisters and brother are some of the most important people in my life and I know if I needed them, they would be on the next flight or drive to come rescue me... I know this from experience and I don't know how much they know, but I TRULY appreciate all that they, and their families, have done for me. There is no greater love than the love through blood!!

LOVE... MY HUBBY!!!

PJ... the love of my life...
how wonderful he is!!! Valentine's Day is suppose to be the wonderful day of love and support... that was not the case for me. I was so bummed because I had to go coach cheer at the wrestling match. Turns out at the last minute almost all of my cheerleaders tried to text me and tell me they couldn't go. They knew this was mandatory and they HAD to go... I spent all day in Spanaway to make sure I could go to the tournament and had to put all my plans on hold. I am down to 10 cheerleaders now and only 3 girls were dedicated to go... I couldn't get ahold of my boss and I was already in some trouble with the administration due to early problems. I just broke down in tears and didn't know what to do... PJ was out getting his oil changed and I was trying to get ready to leave. When I started crying, my DH walked through the door with a card and a bouquet of flowers. His card was so sweet and thoughtful and the flowers were my favorite kind. He gave me a hug and kiss and held me and told me everything was going to be fine. He is always there for me when I really need him and he always seems to know exactly what to do to make me feel better. I love him with all my heart and I am so blessed to have such a great husband like him. PJ I love you!




my camera died so the picture will come later.

Love... My sister Deborah

Deborah... oh how she doesn't understand pregnant women! I went to visit her and we decided to go to Seattle. Who knew this was going to be a marathon trip... I should have known when Deb and Clint always walk everywhere together! So, the first thing we have to do is catch the ferry... Deb said maybe we shouldn't walk to the ferry and just pay for parking. After we got to the ferry I was VERY thankful we didn't walk from her apartment. We rode the ferry for one hour to Seattle and saw the beautiful view on the water. It was a fun ride and a great time to hang out with Deborah and talk about all kinds of things. We got to Seattle around 1:30pm and wow... I forgot how to walk... I used to be able to walk everyone because of all the hills in Pullman. These hills were no joke, especially for a pregnant woman!!! We went to Pike Place and explored, walked up the hills to the big mall and checked out some of the stores there... then it was time for lunch! I had to sit down because I thought my legs were going to fall off... after lunch at "Mexico" we went to Nordstroms and the Rack... I had to find my DH a valentine's present for under $20. That was the hardest thing in the world!!! Deborah gave me great ideas and stuck with me to try and find just what I wanted. We really wanted to find one certain thing but couldn't find it anywhere!! It was 6:15pm and the ferry came at 6:45pm so we had to get back... my friend told me there was a bus we could ride to the ferry but NO... Deb wanted to walk... "it's not that far Tabitha, come on!!" She is crazy I tell you... On the way back we passed a store that was closed and had multiple styles of the one thing I wanted to get for my DH!! We were bummed we missed it on our way up!

Deb and I got to the ferry and had a fun talk on the way back... there was even a point where we were dying laughing because I told her a story and ended up saying my roots in my teeth that are connected to my ears... I don't know how it came out but we were laughing soooooo hard! Deborah was concerned because she thought my teeth issue was more serious then she had thought! lol It was a great ride... then we remember we had to walk back to the car. That was scary because of the dark alleys and I prayed Deborah remembered where she parked.

We got home safely, watched a movie and ate dinner and then Deb thought it would be nice if we worked on the dance routine for my cheerleaders. This is why I love my sister. I have just walked all over town with her and now that it is around 10pm she wants me to dance with her. Is she crazy?!! Yes, yes she is... because she got mad at me when I said I was tired and my legs were going to fall off. We finally went to bed and when we woke up she made me dance with her... that funny girl!! She ended up coming to cheer practice and helping me teach the girls a routine for their pep assembly performance and really helped me out! I love her to death and I am so happy I have such a giving sister like her!! What fun times we have together.

Sherry, I apologize for asking you to come to my classes in Pullman when you were pregnant. Kudos for you because I KNOW you had to have been dying going up all the hills. I am sorry for not understanding your pain!!! =) I love you...

Love... Sunday

I love Sundays. This is the day of rest and now that I have taken time off from BBW, Sunday is truly my day of rest. I spent today going to church, relaxing, watching a movie and eating sandwiches. I loved everything about today. The class that my DH and I have been attending has been so inspirational and helpful for our relationship. We are meeting people in there that have been really nice and show us how to have a marriage based on being Christ-centered. This is so important to me because I want so badly for PJ to be the leader of our family and to have a Christ-centered home. It makes me really happy that he now wakes up before me on Sunday mornings. I know this sounds weird, but I used to be the one who got up first and get into the shower right away. Lately with being pregnant, I have snoozed the alarm for 5 minutes, but then PJ jumps right up and gets to the shower first... I am happy because that means he is excited to go to church instead of sleeping in. This is very important to me and warms my heart because that means we are one step closer. =)

Love... my baby

My baby boy at 20 weeks

My DH and I have finally started our birthing classes. We have one every Tuesday for the month of February and our first one was getting to know others and how a baby is born. Listening to everyone's stories in the class really helped me see how lucky I have it during my pregnancy. There were a lot of survival stories and some stories telling about how horrible their pregnancies are going... but mine, nothing to complain about through the whole thing until now. I am now in my eighth month and am now feeling the pain. God has really shown his love through this whole experience because I have not had it that bad. My DH and I talked a lot about the different stories we heard and how we are so blessed. It almost made me love my baby even more, if that is even possible! The love that has grown between my DH and I through this whole experience has made me stop and think about all the blessings our family really has. I know we are not perfect... just yet... but God is always there and He has been showing us what is really important and to make sure we don't let it pass us by. I have so much love for my unborn child and I cannot WAIT until I see him.

Love... through God's eyes

Love... John 13:31-35

We need to learn to do three things in order to love like God wants us to.

1. Accept others unconditionally - Romans 15:7


2. Commit yourself personally - I John 3:16


3. Forgive others freely - Colossians 3:13

God loves us no matter what... it doesn't mean He approves of what we do at all times, but He does accept us. Love needs commitment. One thing that I need to work on and I am sure everyone needs to work on this one is... Remember no more - Hebrews 10:17.

Why is it that we are so easy to judge those that are different or even those that need love the most? Why can we forgive but then say later, we can't forget? Imagine if God told us He would fogive everything we do but will never forget... How would that make us feel?!

My DH and I heard this during our message at church yesterday... it was an eye opener and my DH even wrote a note to me saying, "I will remember no more Yobo!" I thought it was really cute because we both knew this is something that would only help us in life and in our marriage.

We need to offer forgiveness and ask for forgiveness... we need to forgive AND forget. Believe me, it will help you live your life so much happier and it will be filled with love more so than any other feeling. I challange you... can you remember no more?
