To ALL my friends!!!!!!!!!!

My blog has been so goofy lately, so I decided to just start another blog! Don't worry, all the same good stuff. :) Please change our blog address!!!

Again, I'm sorry it's a pain but it's been SO weird the past 3-4 months.

I have a fabulous Utah post coming, too!!!

Baby

We are having a......GIRL! How exciting!!! One of each--so fun. Since I'm only 15 weeks 4 days, the ultrasound tech said 'don't go painting the room pink' because she said it's still early to tell, but she's pretty certain. I've heard she's never wrong, too! AND especially looking at Boston's and this baby's ultrasound, they are SO different. So, I'm going pink. I'm also measuring a week ahead, which is funny because I was for SURE thinking I was not as far along. Since they could be off a week when measuring the baby, they aren't moving my due date until a doctor looks at it. I'm fine with that...so looks like I'm measuring 16 weeks 3 days, doesn't really matter! 

I told Jeff not to call me because I wasn't going to tell him over the phone. So after I found out I ran to Target and got some DARLING polka dot onesies and put them in a bag with the 'girl' picture. He opened it and said 'It's a girl???' and I smiled and we hugged. We're both excited. I think I was leaning more towards wanting a boy, but thought it was a girl...mom's instinct I guess!! Such a great feeling knowing this is a girl! 

Boston is on left, and this little girl is on the right. Total difference, right?

Such a tiny little baby

Little girl! So I guess I'm not going to 'paint the room pink' but we're set on a girl, and who knows? It'll be fun if it changes, too! We're okay with whatever!

WSU Cougs

We had a fun opportunity to go to Pullman and watch the Cougs play...or aka watch Andrew Luck on Stanford. Jeff was really excited because I guess Andrew will be the #1 pick in the NFL draft so Jeff really wanted to see him! We left Boston with my mom so he could go to a birthday party {he has friends} and play. It was a nice getaway! 

Although Boston didn't come, we still had to dress him up! I'm also counting these pics as a pregnant picture...since it's hard to miss. :) 15 weeks 3 days.

This would've been a good picture if Boston was looking. Story of our lives.

It was a fun little getaway! 1.5 hours driving both ways so we did a lot of talking, which was nice too. I tell ya though, whole other world down in Pullman. 

The next few pictures are taken a couple hours ago. Boston was just being so cute while watching Lion King. I especially love his hands behind his head. We also think he might be getting his molars too. We had a weird experience last night--Boston woke up at 1am screaming his head off. He didn't want Jeff or I, so we just sat on the floor next to him, which was what he wanted. After about 20 minutes of screaming, Jeff gave Boston a Priesthood blessing and right after Jeff ended, Boston stopped crying and didn't make another peep. Very cool experience but that's weird, right? Anyway, all signs point to two year molars. I just hope I can keep him comfortable!

We love our Boston. :) My ultrasound is tomorrow and I'm SO excited. Whether or not we find out the sex, I'm just excited to see the little bean. It'll be a fun experience! I'm sure I'll post on that soon. Happy Sunday!

Gettin' Wood & other ramblings

The past two weekends, we've gone out to Grandma's and stocked up on wood for the winter. It's actually really fun...Boston loves the chainsaw and Jeff chopping wood. It's so cute--he mimics the movements of Jeff chopping wood and my step-dad with the chain saw. He even grunts when he 'chops' the wood like he is actually doing it. I love it. 

We also bought Lion King and Boston constantly asks to watch it. He goes 'rawww' meaning Lions...or 'meow' when asking to watch it. This picture was taken yesterday after we got him all ready for church--watching Lion King. 

He was doing Elephants in this picture. 

Also, here's a pregnant pic! I had Jeff take it yesterday after I napped...so don't mind the hair. I was 14 weeks and 4 days in this picture!! I'm really feeling great.

So funny...I asked Jeff if he wanted me to take a picture and show how 'far' along he is too. :) He actually agreed!!! Jeff at 14 weeks and 4 days :)

I thought I'd also add some pictures of the Halloween decor in my home...so enjoy!!

23 AND 13 weeks!

Last Friday was my 23rd birthday! There really isn't anything special that comes with turning 23, right??? I guess just wisdom. This year my birthday fell on a Friday, which is the PERFECT day to fall on! I had a dr. apt in the morning {more on that in a sec} and came home to singing and presents...I wish I had my camera handy walking in the door and the boys sitting on the top step singing...it was cute. Jeff surprised me with a lime green kitchen aid!!!!!!!! That's every girls' dream right??? I don't have any excuse to why I'm not making homemade bread and cookies all the time now...It is a beauty. My sis sent me really nice utensils, and my mom got me a Cabela's knife set....guess I needed better kitchen stuff. I was so excited. 

Matches my kitchen perfectly...

The boys' making me breakfast...that's cute, right?

Jeff makes eggs all the time so Boston kind of knows that he has to stir them around...he get's the picture.

See? Told ya, beauty.

Yes I'm pregnant and I like double chocolate cake.

K I was looking at pictures and was thinking I was sitting here last birthday...well I was right!! 

Look how young Boston looks?? Geez! Oh and I guess I can't use the pregnancy excuse since I had the chocolate cake last year too...oops. :)

I will be 14 weeks on Thursday!! Second trimester! This has FLOWN by! Nothing really happened at my apt...I heard that little heartbeat {150 bpm like last time} and NO weight gain! Last time I gained weight fast so this is great news! :) I have an ultrasound in two weeks to check my progress...I'll be almost 16 weeks!!!!!! Which means maybe they can peak and see what the sex is? That'll be way cool. If not, the big ultrasound is in 6-7....whatev. We found out what Boston was between 16-17 weeks so there is hope. The other great news is no more being sick! The only time I feel sick is if I starve myself for more then 6 hours, which is pretty normal for non-pregnant people. 

Thanks for the fabulous birthday everyone!!
