SO....

So I was just wondering... I know there are probably a ton of fun stuff for babies out there that I totally dont know about and was wondering what people recomend!? I already know about the basics that we need (diapers/ bed/ stroller/ carseat/ onesies type of thing) but does anyone recommend anything else that they feel they had to have!!!!And maybe things (like brands) that you totally dont recommend?! If so let me know!! Im totally interested! Thanks everyone!!!!

23 weeks

I know I have been soo bad at blogging!! Sorry! But here is a prego update. Things have gotten better. I havent had any contractions since Monday!!! YAY!! and I have been able to do small things like I walked to Kevin's school to eat lunch with him, did a lil laundry, sewed a lil bit, and just stuff around the home! Yesterday night wasnt so hot though! I feel like my side muscles are tearing apart!! She is definately growing and thats not very fun to feel! When I bend over to pick things up I can barely breathe. I think she squishes up into my lungs! And the achy back and feet have started which makes my nights super uncomfy:) But I love being able to feel her kick and to just sit and watch my tummy move! Its fun seeing her little who knows what poking out! :) She's pretty active allllll the time!! I dont know how much weight ive gained, nor do I want to know!! lol but I dont feel like Ive gained too much! I think I am on track and I try not to eat too too much:) but am definately eating alot more than I used to! I always wanted to wear a bakinni with a prego belly but the other day I tried on bathing suits and now dont want to be anywhere near one, even though I know when we go home Ill break.

(I feel like my tummy is huge!! lol... Kevin was looking at it the other day and asked if having a belly feels weird... lol... It doesnt.. to me it feels the same until I look/touch it!)

I am soooooooooo excited to have this little girl but feel overwhelmed at the same time. I will be home with her for the most part and the responsibility that comes with that makes me soo... ummm... anxious? I am not nervous about the physical things like waking up with her, feeding, changing, comforting her when she cries, I just feel such a responsibility to teach her about our Heavenly Father and why we are here that I sometimes feel like going nuts just thinking about how I am going to do that. I know we played the parent role for a year with Kirsten and Torben, but they were 3 and 5... I feel like I can do the 3 and 5 yr old thing... but our baby is going to be brand new! I just dont know where to start. SOOO nerve racking! I just hope that we can help her learn how to make good decisions and that shell know that we will be there for her through anything and everything!!:)

Moving on... I am sooooo proud of myself!! I have not bought anything for the baby yet!!! :) I totally thought that i would go nuts buying stuff as soon as we found out what we were having. But everytime I go the store to pick something out I cant bring myself to buy it. Maybe its cuz I know with Kevin's schooling come alot of expenses. But Kevin's sister has been so nice and is letting us use some of her baby things!!! :) So that i think helps me to not buy anything as well. But i have alot of material that I got for free so I decided to make a few things...
Nothing grand I know, but for me its an accomplishment:)So I am gunna start simple! I am going to make her skirts and other easy things because I am not great at sewing!! :) and a friend is going to show me how to crochet the cutest hats with crochet flowers!! Im soo excited!!!

Kevin is doing sooooo good in school... I am soo proud of how hard he works!! He even got a scholarship which is such a blessing! And he totally isnt doing it for himself! I know that there are other things hed rather be doing but he still continues to put himself last!!! :) He is the most amazing person whom I love sooooooooooooo much! He is gunna be such an amazing dad!!!

Going Private

So we decided to set our blog as private because we are getting some crazy on facebook who keeps changing their name and leaving threatening messages... so because we have a baby on the way I dont think its a good idea for this certain person to know whats going on in our lives!!! If you know someone that reads this I can add their email!!! Just let me know!

Thanks!!!

20 week update

The past week has not been fun! Kevin had the flu and his only lasted 12 hours. I got it and I am just now starting to feel better. I had to go get hooked up to an IV twice becuase Iwas so dehydrated. And it totally sucked for Kevin because he had a test in all of his hard classes. Luckily, one teacher was nice enough to let Kevin skip the test since he was in the hospital with me.
I ended up getting a few contractions and because dehydration can put you into early labor the Dr put me on bedrest. I see him tomorrow and am hoping that I can go back to regular life :) I have been soo bored of being sick!!! But Im definately feeling better and am hoping to go back to work tomorrow:) Cross your fingers for me I really dont want to have to lay down for 20 more weeks!! I want to go shop for our baby girl already!!!!


So here is a recent picture.. FYI I look soo gross.. Sorry.. I have been sick and didnt feel like getting ready.. so here I am totally not ready!! :) I dont know why this is hyperlinking and what its linked to?



Thanks to everyone who has called or stopped by to see if we needed anything!!! We really really really appreciate it!!!!!I didnt realize that it was announced at church... a lil bit embarrassing but soo nice to see how much the ward cares.. Thank you soo much! :)

Pregnancy update!

So I have been pretty sick with the a virus and havent been able to keep anything down. So we ended up in ER twice because I was soo dehydrated. They hooked me up to an IV both times and the first time they also Ultra Sounded me to make sure everything was ok. I asked the Tech if she could check the gender. So she did but it took a couple of minutes because the baby was moving soo much!! The tech and Kevin were laughing because the baby was not slowing down! Finally they got the shot they needed and it's definately a GIRL!!!

Kevin and I are expecting a little girl! YAY!!!! We are sooo excited. I wasnt so sure at first because I was such a hard kid for my parents and I didnt want a girl like me! lol. But I am so excited to see Kevin with his little girl. I know our daughter is gunna be such a Daddy's girl :)
I cant wait to feel better so that I can start making things for her!! And Kevin is less picky with what I want to get her!! HAHA He definately has more oppinions about boy stuff than girl stuff. lol... We already have names but i am constantly hearing other cute names!!! So I think ill have to wait before we officially name her... I change my mind all the time and Kevin hasnt been set on one!! :) AWWW Im soooo excited!!!
