The Steadmans

Hi girls. It has been so much fun to read up on all of your lives! PJ and I were married the August following graduation. PJ began working as a carpenter for Alder Construction and In 2000, I started working for Swire Coca-Cola as a PC Support Tech. We moved to Lehi and I went back to school and graduated in Computer Science from Weber State. I was promoted to a computer programmer position and stayed there until I quit last year with the birth of our 3rd baby. We tried for a couple of years to get pregnant without success and were told by an infertility specialist that we would not be able to have babies without invitro. We prayed about what we should do next and decided to adopt. Within two months we found out about a young mother who wanted to give her 15 month old boy up for adoption. We were given custody of Jake (Jacob) 8 weeks later. Everytime I think back to that time I am amazed at how smoothly and quickly it all happened. We know that this little boy was supposed to be a part of our family. A few months after that we moved across town and Surprise! Surprise! found out that I was pregnant. Jake's adoption was final in November of 2005 and we were sealed as a family. Our second baby Will (William) was born in March of 2006. When Will was 8 months old we found out that we were pregnant again. Obviously, either the infertility specialist was totally wrong, or our two babies needed their big brother first. Mckay was born in July of 2007 and is now 8 months old. PJ is a superintendent now at Alder and I have been a stay at home mom since July, and am still learning the ropes. Three boys (4, 2, & 8mo) are a handful but more fun than I could have ever imagined. Congratulations to all you new mothers, being a mom will be the best thing you ever do!! The pictures are from our first family trip to Disneyland and Sea World last month.
