It is true!!!

Well some may have hear rumors and some may not have any idea, but we are expecting another child! We are so excited for the future and can't wait to have another addition to our family.  We are due May 12th, 2011 which means our kiddos will be 22 months apart, about perfect if you ask me.  We don't know what we are having yet but in 4 short days we hope the baby will cooperate and let us find out! We are excited for either a boy or a girl so it will be fun to find out.  What do you think we will have? A boy or a girl? We already have the names for both a boy and a girl so I think we are set for either one. 
 This pregnancy so far has been better then my first one (which makes me think its a girl lol).  I haven't been near as sick and I havent had morning sickness as bad.  Of course I still have it, and it is still sucky and exhausting but my previous pregnancy I would throw up at least 2-4 times a day for the first 17 wks, this time I have thrown up maybe 10 times total which is so much better! I am finally starting to get my energy back (thank goodness!) and I am now able to do things around the house and pay attention to my child more.  I felt like a terrible mom for a few months because I was so exhausted and sick that I couldnt get off the couch to play with Korbin, but now things are getting a lot better and he has his mommy back!  I am finally starting to show although it still looks like a fat belly.. where people aren't sure if I am pregnant or just fat.  Hopefully soon I can just have a cute little bump and keep it little for awhile!
 You are welcome to take our poll to the right and let us know what you think/hope we have! We will keep everyone updated and expect another baby post in about a week or less! Yay!
 Thanks to our wonderful family and friends who are always super supportive to us!

32 weeks

Wowsers! Have I reached 40 weeks yet?!
Well nothing too exciting or crazy has been happening in our life lately (I'm not complaining!).. but it doesn't leave me much to blog about. I need to be more like some of my other fellow bloggers who do a much better job of blogging about whatever, whenever! But anyway.. I am almost 33 weeks and quite excited to be chugging along! We went to the doctor this week and she said that our lil one is not so little..he is 5 lbs, a week ahead of schedule. Of course that doesn't mean that I will have him a week early, but I can sure hope he continues to grow big so he will come early!! I am so excited that he has finally hit 5 lbs! Yay! As for me.. I am doing good.. people just this week have started saying that I am finally getting big, not sure if that is a compliment or an insult, but I take it as a compliment. The past few months I have been hearing that I am not big at all, so that is a change for me! I have gained 23 lbs, so that isn't bad at all.. I hope to keep the weight gain lower, but either way I will be happy as long as the baby is healthy! I continue to eat Golden Grahams every single morning, and they are still delicious! I really really crave watermelon, weird as that sounds, I can't get enough of it! I seriously have to force myself not to eat the whole watermelon in one sitting. I also really enjoy cold things like slurpees, icee's, playdough ice cream..stuff like that! And a new craving that I come upon is anything BBQ.. yummy! It is getting harder for me to put shoes on or shave my legs, so who knows what I will do in a month when I really can't put my own shoes on!
This summer has been great so far, besides the fact that the weather hasn't been nice! But I try not to complain because the hotter it seems to get, the less sleep I get. And we came to find out this week that our central air is not working.. it is dead! Guess it is the oldest central air machine thingy that the guy has ever seen! Lucky us! So now we are trying to get our warranty to cover it, but they seem to have other ideas! Anyway.. Steven has got the chance to go golfing a few times already and we have gone to the movies a few times. We figured we better go do some of that stuff cause it will be a little harder when the baby comes.
Tomorrow we are headed down to Zions with my side of the family. We are extremely excited since this is our only vacation of the year. So hopefully I will bring back some cool pictures to share!
And that is about it in our life right now.. hope all is well!

26 weeks!

Week 25

So as of today I have reached the 26 week mark! Yay!! I get more and more excited each week because I know I am one step closer to seeing my lil stud! These past 26 weeks have seriously flown by and I can thank school a lot for keeping me busy! But the 26 weeks have been good, and my lil man has been moving around like a crazy mad man! I first felt him move at week 16, which I hear is really early for that. Week 17 Steven got to feel him move, and the past 4 weeks or so I have been watching him move my belly around like jello. It has been fun to see how big and strong he is getting.
My morning sickness finally went away around week 17 and now I am just enjoying the fact that I am not sick and I am not so big that it is too hard to move. Everyone that I see always comments that I am not "big" at all. I have finally decided that not being big is a good thing! So I am glad I am not big especially for being 6 months pregnant.
I crave a lot of food.. it is nothing like a crazy crave where I have to have it, but there are some things that I want to eat over other things as well as some things I could eat all day everyday.. here are some examples.. Golden Graham Cereal.. YUMMY! I eat them for breakfast every morning.. I think I have had that cereal every day since about week 10, no joke.. I am afraid I will be very sick of them when I am not pregnant anymore. I also really enjoy BBQ Chips.. especially when I see someone else eating chips! I love anything cold like shakes, ice cream, icee's etc.. and they are ALWAYS delicious! For some reason I love Tootsie Rolls even more now then I used to! I also enjoy yogurt and fruit! Oh how I wish watermelon was in season cause I really think I would just eat watermelon all day everyday. Oh and you cant forget my obsession with Smores Poptarts!
I haven't been having any problems sleeping. I always slept on my side before I was pregnant, so I haven't had to switch how I sleep, which is good! I think everything else is going well!
We have an appointment on Wednesday which we are always excited about! Our 3D Ultrasound was fun about a month ago and they confirmed that we are having a boy! He was facing down so the Dr. was having a hard time getting a picture of his face, but we finally got a side view! He is a little stud if I may say so myself!
Anyway, there is my little update!

22 weeks.. Baby Rounds cute little face!

22 weeks.. Baby Rounds flexing his muscle.. he is very strong!

The wait is over.. well almost!

Today was the big day Steven and I have been waiting for in three months. Today was the day we FINALLY signed our papers to close on the house! I think buying this house put me through more stress then all my years of school combined! It seemed like everything was going wrong, and no one was willing to help us, and the mortgage lady didn't seem to have any rush on our papers.. but finally we have made it to the end, well the end of paper signing at least! It looks like we will happily be moving into the new house on Saturday! I honestly thought this day might never happen, but I think it just might! We are getting some big strong guys in the family to come help us move..and as nice as it will be for me to just sit back and watch, I feel bad that I am not helping much, so hopefully the guys will know how helpful they are being. Steven and I took the day off on Monday to start unpacking everything and maybe we can stop living in boxes like we have been the past 2 months.
I think once the move is over I will be able to finally concentrate on more important things like getting through this semester, and getting ready for the baby. I finally ordered graduation announcements.. I wasn't going to because it costs an arm and leg for even a few, but I got convinced otherwise. Now I think I am glad I did because it will be once in a lifetime thing. I have been trying to push the whole graduation thing out of my mind because I don't want to get too anxious about it, but boy am I ready to be done! I have been going forever it seems! I didn't take a break last summer and the past 4 semesters I have been taking 15 plus credit hrs (2 semesters of 19 cr hrs).. so I am completely ready to be done.
The baby is doing really well.. we had an appointment a few weeks ago and the dr said he looks good.. very healthy! He was about 3 oz bigger then normal at our 20 wk appt, so that is good. I feel him move all the time and it gives me tons of comfort because I know he is doing good in there. I think the first few months are so stressful because you don't feel the baby move and the risk of a miscarriage is higher, so yay for getting this far! I finally stopped being sick and it is so much nicer! I now enjoy food except for a few things like processed chicken and frozen pizza's can still be a little hard as well. But everything else usually sounds good! I have not one but two breakfasts, lunch, then I will get home from work and eat again, then I will have dinner, then I will have a snack (usually an apple) in bed! Boy.. this whole pregnancy thing is starting to cost a pretty penny, but it will all be worth it!
I think everything else is doing good! Hopefully the next time we blog will be in our new house! Yay!!

Baby Rounds..

Well our doctors appointment was last night and for the first time since I have been going, we actually had to wait a few minutes.. which was a problem for me because I really needed to go to the bathroom!! But we got in, I got my blood taken for Spinabifida (which Steven claims he has lol, but he doesn't) and then we headed for the ultrasound. I love that we get to see our little baby every time we go in! It makes things more real for us and nothing feels better then when we actually get to hear it's heartbeat. That is usually when I let out a HUGE sigh and smile. Yay the baby is doing good!! Sometimes I wish I could take one of those ultrasound machines home and just check up on our baby everyday! I never thought I would be this paranoid about a baby inside me, but not knowing if it's okay kills me! Anyway, our lil baby is doing good! The baby's head is the normal (big) size and I got to see it's little spine and big belly. The doc says everything looks good and the baby is the normal size (which I was worried about because I am barely barely showing at 4 months!).. I looked at the scale when they weighed me and noticed that I am still 1 lb shy of my starting weight.. I guess that morning sickness did a few wonders on me, because somehow my pants don't fit anymore and I have some "fat" in the tummy region, but I still weigh less then I did when we first went in. Anyway, the doc didn't seem too concerned so I guess I shouldn't be either. I keep reminding myself that I should just be happy Im not huge and cant move around already! So I have yet to make it a full week without throwing up.. it is quite annoying! And the odd thing is.. most of the time it is on a Monday.. maybe the baby feels the same way I do about Monday's and that they suck! ha ha
Okay so enough about what I think.. here is what happened in the ultrasound.. the doc had a little bit of a hard time at first because our little rascal decided that it wanted to be modest and cross it's legs. Well anyway, we finally got to where she could determine what it is and... almost all of you were WRONG!!!!! It is a wonderful baby BOY!!! We are sooo excited because that is what we have both hoped for! Now all my boy clothes and crib set can actually be put to good use! Anyway, so we are excited.. I think my dad is extremely excited for another boy. He has 2 grandboys and now another one on the way. So we are all excited and we hope that everything continues to go well for the baby! I will post some belly pictures one day when I am actually showing!
Thanks for all your support and love, it's exciting to have so many great people to help us along the way!

Yes, the rumors are true!

So as some of you have heard.. I am pregnant! I decided not to post the news for a few months because as weird as this sounds.. the less attention the better! But, I am curious of what people think we are having! Are we having a girl? Are we having a boy? Steven and I really want a lil boy, but of course we will be happy with whatever we are given. Either way it is going to be exciting for us!
Now to answer some questions that I have heard in the past few months.. first of all I hear.. how far are you? I am 15 weeks along (4 months) What are you having? Well.. I dont know yet.. but if we are lucky, next wed (Feb 3) we are hoping to find out! And another question we hear.. Was this an accident? Uhh.. no. Completely planned.
Things have been pretty crazy for us the past few months. First of all I have been sick for over a month, luckily the sickness is finally, slowly getting better.. I am now kind of a person again! I am also in my last semester of school! Well hopefully! That is pretty stressful in itself, but I will be extremely happy when I am done in 2 months and 26 days.. but who's counting?! And also, we are currently in the process of buying a house! We are extremely excited to finally have a real place to call home! So hopefully by the first of March we will be moving into the new house! We have made some huge steps this year and we hope it is a great year for us!
That is about all that is new with us! I put a poll to the right side so you are welcome to make a guess of what we are having!
