GUESS WHAT....

That's right folks...we're having a boy and we couldn't be more excited. I can't even describe the way I felt when Eric and I got to see this little guy on the ultrasound tv. He even waved at his mommy and daddy when he first came up on the screen. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. So far he's pretty much perfect...well from what the technician could see on the screen he's perfect. OMG...I love this little boy so much I can hardly stand it. He is actually measuring a little bit big...and the technician says I'm about a week ahead of what we thought. Which makes me 20 weeks today instead of 19. However, it's not enough of a difference to change my due date, but it's good to know. On the bright side, I can start counting down weeks instead of counting up.

This is my sweet boy's profile, probably my favorite picture. Also, I can offically say that I have felt him kick. Actually it was like 2 weeks ago when I first felt it, but I wasn't sure then. I am seriously so excited about him. I just love knowing that he's a boy, it's made his whole experience very real. I can't wait to hold my little man and be his mommy.

I'm Pregnant!

So for those of you that didnt know...I'm pregnant! And this is our little bundle of joy!...at 8 weeks.

Of course I'm actually not anywhere near 8 weeks along. I'm actually 17 1/2 weeks along. I know...kinda waiting a long time before saying something. It's not that I didnt want to, its just that being on the computer longer then a half an hour makes me feel so sick...up until recently that is. So I'm finally feeling up to posting about things. I'm due September 29, 2011 and we find out what we're having in just 2 weeks. I can't tell you how excited we are. Eric absolutely loves this little ultrasound picture and he can hardly wait to get another one.

So I'm past the "I feel sick all the time" stage, but I get this fun thing where I get kinda sqwimish at certain sights or smells. But other then that, sickness is gone. Although I am having trouble sleeping, being comfortable while I sleep, and then waking up with back pain. So that's no fun. I'm getting rounder each week, which means I get this awful stretching pain on the side and bottom of my stomach, but I figure things could be way worse. So I should just be happy that baby and me are healthy still/so far.

In other non-baby related news, Eric's work is keeping him busy. Which is good for us, it means our bills are going to be paid...on time! Ok, so we've never not paid our bills on time, but its nice not having to check how much money is in the bank to see when we should pay. So Eric started out this year possibly going away for the entire summer...without me. But ever since the baby he's been working so incredibly hard to make sure he can be here for us. I love him so much and I'm so proud of him. So it turns out that within all this hard work he might have to be in California for a month and then possibly live in vegas for a little while, but things are certainly not set in stone. However, if this is what happens, I've decided that it's much more do-able then his pervious locations of Texas or Chicago.

So with how much work Eric has been doing we actually have money to buy baby stuff. I'm super excited for that because the baby isnt even here and I was worried how we we're going to provide for him/her. So its definately a load off my mind...well for now at least. So thats about it. I'll try and post some pictures later. Pictures are not my strong point, so hopefully I'll get the desire to do one soon.

I Feel....

OVERWHELMED!!! It's only Jan. 24th and I'm already in shock of how 2011 is treating me. I feel like I can't quite seem to get ahead. Have you ever had one of those days were all you wanna do is cry...or pout...or be angry...etc. I've been feeling that lately mostly because a lot has happened. I've recently taken (technically) a 3rd job, I have 3 callings at church, we're still not sure whats going on with our living situation, Eric has 3 callings now and I'm just not sure how we're suppose do everything. We're slowly getting it together, but I feel like life is playing this cruel joke on me. Everytime we feel kind of ahead of the game life decides thats not a possibility. Has anybody ever seen "Father of the Bride 1 & 2"? Pretty much 2 of my favorite movies.

"It's like that cruel joke...all who think they've got it made take one step forward...not so fast George Banks!"

All who've seen this movie know exactly what I'm talking about. On one positive note I do feel like this time around life is getting back to normal quicker. Normally it takes us a few months before we feel like we're getting a handle on things. Just for others information I'm not ranting to get sympathy. I'm just feeling like I need to get it out of my system, which btw I'm already feeling much better just by putting down. I know God gives us these crazy times for a reason and I really have to keep reminding myself lately. It'll all be worth it in the end...I just know it.

Aww....a new year!

So...2010 is gone and like most people I'm going to say that it went by way too fast. It was quite the eventful year. Although nothing really happened to me directly, more like to my family members, it was still a pretty good year. In August my little twin neice and nephew were born. Little bryndle and garrison are probably the sweetest babies in the world. When my sister got married Jamie and Casey came down with their kids and spent a week or so with us. I got so much time with these little angels, it was heaven on earth.

Like I said, totally sweet little angels. I love them so much and can't wait to see them again.

So I mentioned in my last post that my brother got married. I don't know how to get ahold of their wedding pictures, but here are some of their engagment pictures. Dakota and Sara are super cute together and I love them both very much.

So Sara was due to deliver little Ava in November, but Ava had a different plan. She decided to come Oct 4th, 2010, thats 6 weeks early. As early as she was, she only had to stay in the hospital for 1 week. She is such a little sweetheart. The only sad thing is that Sara and Dakota have moved to North Carolina to live with my older sister, Randi, and her family.

In other news, Carly and Tanner got married in the middle of October. It was a pretty fun wedding/dance party. This first picture is an engagment picture and the second one is from the wedding. Tanner is really sweet and Im glad that he's part of our family.

So it seems that babies these days all want to come early. Carly was due on Jan. 21, but little Remmington had a plan of his own. He decided to come 3 weeks early on Jan. 2. Luckily he got to come home from the hospital right away. It was definately good news since we didnt know if being born that early was going to affect him. These pictures are from the day he was born so his poor little face is still swollen.

He really is such a handsome little thing and I love him so much. Plus my sister-in-law, Kellie, is due next month and her little baby girl is dying to come out too. But she needs to stay in awhile longer. Man o man all these babies are "poppin' outta the snow...like daisies!" lol Name that movie?!?!?....haha sorry, bad habit with our family! Anyways....

Christmas was good...we got to celebrate 2 days in a row. It was pretty fun. New Years Eve, however, not so much. I recently got a second job working at Menchies Frozen Yogurt. I worked New Years Eve all night, so it was nothing really special.

Lastly, Eric's sister, Kimmie, is getting married in June. Im super excited for her and Chandler and cant wait for June to come around. AND...my other sister-in-law, Julia, is pregnant with #2. She's due in august and Eric and I are especially excited for everyone and everything thats happening this coming year!
