Abbee Becomes Auntie Abbee In Alaska!!!

I AM FINALLY AN AUNTIE OF A BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!!!!! As of July 21, 2012 Jhi Jules Nishikawa was born weighing in at 8lbs 5oz and 21 inches long!! Auidee!! I can't believe that big of a baby fit in my beautiful sisters cute prego belly!!! Birth is seriously a miracle! I am very sad that I didn't get to be there for my sister Haulee at this time! I will be three weeks late! I was so excited all day yesterday cause I got a text from my Mother and she said "Baby Jhi is coming!!" And I got it right before I got off work! I got to call and talk with my Mom and Haulee before she delivered! It was so nice to hear their voices! I miss them all back home so much! I work nights so I usually sleep during the day, but yesterday I just tossed and turned and couldn't really get well rested!! I was getting updates from my Mom on what was happening... I was just so excited that my sister was going to be a Mommy!! Right before I left for work I got the text that said "8lbs 5oz and 21 inches long, all is good!" That was it!! That was it!!! I was freakin'! I want to know who she looks like and if she has lots of hair or was she a baldie, was her skin dark like Dad's or white like Mom's?!?! And how Haul was doing.. any complications with either of them or was everything okay!!?? Ha ha! I was just so happy Jhi was finally here... I asked all those questions and slowly got answers!! When I got to work I told EVERYONE that my sister just had her baby!!! (PS Haul... Everyone from work says Congrats!!!) I was just sitting at work trying to do my time sheet and  I got a text from my Mom saying that they e-mailed me some pics!! I jumped right out of my chair and literally ran to the computer and logged on to my e-mail to look!! I was so excited to see what she looked like! I opened the pictures and started to cry!! Ha! Yupp that's right I am a sap!! (I am even crying right now writing about it!... Such a cry baby!) Don't judge me!! My co-worker came over to see if I was okay and I showed him the pictures as well! (Already starting to brag about her!... It's my job right!?)  I just sat there and stared at them for at least 10 minutes before moving and having to go get some work done! I am so excited to meet her! My sister Haulee is such an amazing women! Jhi is going to have the best parents any girl could ask for (except for mine of course!) She will make a wonderful Mom! I am so excited to see her move on to this part of her life!! I am so glad that she had a baby, it will help give me my baby fix!!! I'll just steal her babe! Jhi is beautiful just like her Mom!!  Haul I am sorry I wasn't there but I will be there everyday I can when I get back when you need help... Kay!? And let's not forget her AMAZING Daddy that Jhi will have to look up to!! Shane you are going to be such an awesome father!! You are such and amazing guy and will be just fine with a baby girl of your own! You can teach her by the wonderful example you are to everyone! I look up to you both so much and I am so grateful that you two are in my life and that we are as close as we are. I know I haven't been around much the last.. what?... 3 years ish!? And we aren't as close as we should be do to that, but I do love you both and am so proud of you guys! I can't wait to see you all when I get home in three weeks!! LOVE YOU ALL!!! 19 Days!!! ( I have to stop with this wonderfully amazing topic cause I am just bawling like a baby over here!)

Okay well... Just a short update about Alaska!! Um.... The last time I wrote was my last day off almost 2 weeks ago!! Wow!! Well not much has happened!! I just sleep and work!!! Work has been awesome!! I work with wonderful people and love them all so much!!! We all get along so well! I love this job! I love all my natives that I take care of! Funny story real quick while we were getting one of my residents up for the day... My co-worker that with me was black and he was standing by the bed and we turned on the lights and then my resident said "WOW! YOU GOT BLACKER!!"  Ha ha!! It was to funny!! I love my residents!! I have plenty of stories for when I get back if you would like to hear them just hit me up... kay!!!??  Um... Oh our company/hospital had a BBQ and whoever wanted to come could come! So as a night shift we all decided to go! It was delish!!! There was hamburgers, hotdogs, smoked salmon, grilled salmon, chips, potato salad, macaroni salad, watermelon, corn on the cob, baked beans, juice, water, ice cream, and chocolate cake! It was SO yummy!! Tank coo Manillaq!!! (That is how you say thanks in Eskimo!) It was loads of fun chatting with everyone and taking pictures of course! That's really the only thing other than sleep and work that I have done! I got my first paycheck today as well!! Finally!! Yay!!! I am going shopping on Friday! Not a lot of shopping to do here but to get gifts for the fam and of course myself! Oh last week at church we had people call us from elsewhere in Alaska and talk over a speaker from their cell phones while they were at home!! Crazy eh!? It was quite the experience but wonderful talks were given!! I also talked with both sets of Grandparents and can't wait to see and talk with them again!! Um.... My time here has gone crazy fast!! Only three more weeks here and I am in Utah again! Also working nights you get your days all screwed up... all my days run together... cause you work 2 different days and get all your sleep in one day... its super weird!! Well that is basically all that has happened here.... Super sorry for the Worlds Longest Post Ever!!! But I got the BEST NEWS EVER and HAD to share!! See ya'll soon!!!
