Holidays

Tuesday, December 30, 2008

So Christmas has come a gone and New Years is right around the corner. We a busy holiday season it has been. Christmas eve and Christmas day was spent at my parents then we went down to Phoenix on that Friday for the weekend. E got everything she wanted and more. We bought her a hugh doll house which she loves and played with the whole time we were in Phoenix. Santa brought her the Barbie bike that we wanted with a Christmas Barbie to go with it. She was so excited about everything, it was so cute. We took my parents Santa Fe down there and it was so nice compared to my car. We want to get one now. Think it would be good for the whole family.

New Years we are spending with my parents. S and I both have to work on Friday so we are coming back here while E stays down there one more day. She's been down there for a week and half right now. While she's been gone we are organizing the house and one of the major projects is her bedroom. We are getting bunk beds today so that she'll have more room to play. We cleaned out a lot of the toys that she never played with and gave then to goodwill. I can't wait till she sees it and gets really excited.

K has been kicking like no other the last couple days. He was so active one day that I just wanted to sleep all day, he's using up all my energy and its not fair. I guess I should be use to it since E use to run around and wear me out too. We have a doctors appointment on the 7th and hopefully they got the results from the detailed ultrasound and we find out everything is great. Only 16 more weeks and its going to go by faster then I think. Its so exciting.

Well hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year.

BOY!!

Tuesday, December 2, 2008

We are having a boy!! We had our doctors appointment yesterday to find our what the sex of the baby is and we saw its little thingy. We have another appointment to find out if everything is fine with the baby. K T McDermott is his name. E was a little disappointed at first but when we told her that he won't be taking her toys now she got a little happier. We also had her pick out the outfit that K is going to wear home from the hospital. She's going to have so much fun being a big sister and shopping for him. Hopefully we'll get some pictures tomorrow. If we do I'll post them.

Swimming

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

E has been taking swim lessons for a couple weeks now and LOVES it. She loves putting her head under water and is learning how to swim with a life vest and a noodle. She can float on her back and her stomach, with her face under water, with ease. Every time I pick her up from school she asks if she has swim lessons today. We did just sign her up for the next session and a high level class. It does start over the Thanksgiving week so we might have to miss a class or two in order to spend time with family. I think she much rather spend the time with family then at the pool. She really does love sleeping over at other peoples houses.

We got a call from the doctor yesterday tell us when we were going to have our detailed sonogram, afternoon of December 1st. I'm really excited and hope that we'll be able to tell what the sex is. We have our doctors appointment 2 days after that so its going to be a fun packed week.

Another Appointment

Thursday, November 6, 2008

We had another visit to the doctor. Our appointment was at 11:45 and we were out of there by 11:55. The doctor came in and did his poking and pushing, we listened to the heartbeat, asked if we had any questions then was out the door. We get to see him again in 4 weeks and we get to have an appointment with a detailed ultrasound. Hopefully get to learn the sex of the baby before the middle of the month comes around. :) We are really excited. One more month to go then I can start buy cute little things. After the appointment yesterday S and I went walking around target and got caught up in the baby stuff. We decided we need one of those bouncer things that vibrate and have to things over head that light up and make sounds. Don't think that is the correct name for them.

We've decided not to buy a house right now. I don't think that I'm going to be working or at least not in the formal kind of job where I would have to leave my kid with someone else. I'm going to try to start babysitting kids. So since we're not going to have a big pay check from me we're going to stay in something small, not to small, that we can afford without me having to work out of the house. I'm going to be taking some classes to get CPR/First Aid certified and learn more about other things. I'm really excited and hope that everything works out for us this way, at least for a little bit. Keeping my figures crossed for right now.

Halloween

Monday, November 3, 2008

Last week was a crazy one. We had something going on everyday of the week. E just started swim lessons on Monday and Wednesdays. She can finally really put her head underwater without freaking out and is starting to use her arms when swimming. It's really exciting to see her do all these new things and not be scared. On Tuesday she still had gymnastics. She loves doing it and probably will continue for a while. On Thursday the Halloween fun started. E's teacher took them to a pumpkin patch that is located at a nearby church and everyone could wear their costumes. For over a year now she's wanted to be a ghost so we made her a ghost costume out of pink fabric that we had laying around. But on Thursday E decides not to be a ghost that day but wear the costume that I made for her last year. Not a big deal since it took me all night to make it last year and she only wore it out once, now she just plays dress up with it. But she wore it to the pumpkin patch and everything was fine. That night was the Fall Festive at her school and she wanted to be the pink ghost. This start as a problem since she couldn't eat with it on or really play so I ended up holding it most of the night. Friday they got to wear their costumes again and she decided to be the pink ghost. I don't think she had it on most of the day but at least she wore it. That night we went to this carnival thing that just a few blocks from our place and she wanted to go as the pink ghost. That was fine until we started trick or treating then she wanted to be the princess again. This wasn't such a big deal since we were going home anyway to pick up the camera and our car so we could go to a different part of town. So for this Halloween E had two different costumes. Thank goodness its over and I don't have to make another costume till next year. Just have to make sure it's something that she's going to wear.

Our second doctor's appointment is this Wednesday. Hopefully everything is great and everyone is fine and healthy. I'm a little scared and excited at the same time. At least I don't have to have my blood taken again.

Belly and Work

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Yesterday at work I was walking down the hall and my boss past me and said she could tell I was getting bigger. Then today I'm wearing a Halloween shirt and you really can tell that I'm getting bigger. Sitting down I just feel fat but then I stand I can tell its more then just fat. I really can't wait for April.

At work yesterday I was talking to my boss and she mentioned that our HR guy might be retiring in January and if he decides to then she's going to be looking for someone to step in and help him before he does. And told me that if I was interested that I should apply. I am really considering this but what am I going to be doing with a new born while I work? They know I'm going to have a baby in April so it must not be that big a deal but I just don't think that I would want to leave my baby with someone else and miss everything. Hard decision.

Doctor's Appoinment

Wednesday, October 8, 2008

We had our first doctor's appointment yesterday. We got to see our little guy or girl for the first time. When I get a chance to scan in the image I will. We are so excited right now. On the bad side I had my blood taken and I almost pasted out. It wasn't much fun and other then getting to see the little guy or girl it was a bad day. We have another appointment in 4 weeks and are hoping to know the sex of the baby before the holidays.

Over the weekend we took E to a pumpkin patch here, which really wasn't a patch but an open field that they put pumpkins in. We are going down to Phoenix this weekend to do one with S's parents. Should be a ton of fun.

Morning sickness

Thursday, September 25, 2008

Morning sickness is the devil. If there is one thing that I could live without right now, morning sickness would be it. It just doesn't come in the morning, it come all day and night. I was home yesterday all day and all night because of it. The only thing that I could really eat was a small soft pretzel that took me and hour and half to eat. I'm really hoping that this is over this sometime real soon.

So we finally got to look at the townhouse. It looks OK but needs some work and for the price that they were asking, and not going to take a cent lower, it wasn't worth it. We also looked at that other house. It's a two bedroom with a lot of land. It looked like it needed a lot of work and we would consider it if we didn't have a little one on the way and a lot more time to work on it. After these two places, we've decided to not look to hard and see what our options are in January. We have till May to decide what we want to do. Hopefully something good will happen to us. Keep your figures crossed.

This weekend

Monday, September 15, 2008

This weekend was really intense. Well at least Saturday was. S participated in the bed races which consist of pushing beds and doing an obstacle course. The judging was so messed up that we left with the intent to write an e-mail to them today, if S did or didn't is up to him. I had a feeling the judge that was causing all the trouble was just listening to this one groups friends and not to any of the teams. On the lighter side Purina did end up winning the float contest and donated the money to a dog shelter here.

We went around looking at houses in areas that we can afford, not all because we do still have standards. Since the market is still so high up here it's really going to be a miracle if we get anything that is incredible. We did happen to see a townhouse that is in our price range and we are talking to S's uncle about seeing the place. If the realtor would only call him back. Today S found another house that he want to drive by today to see if we might be interested in see it too. Hopefully we'll find something that we love and are able to afford.

The bun in the oven hasn't been causing me to much trouble other then on Thursdays. I seem to get morning sickness really bad on Thursdays which makes me want to explode and die. Planning on seeing the doctor sometime soon. I think S's going to have to call because I HATE having blood taken and I know they have to do that at the first appointment. I really don't think that S wants to do that though so I might have to be brave a do it. No pictures yet but will try to this week sometime. I'll keep you posted.

Bun in the Oven

Thursday, September 11, 2008

So I figure I'm about 10 weeks pregnant, give or take a week. This would make me due around Mid-April. We are very excited!! We've told both our families and their are extremely excited for us. E is always talking about the baby in one way or another which is really cute.

I really haven't had much nausea except I don't think I can eat sometimes. Today is a really bad day for me. I think I'm getting sick or am sick and nausea is killing me. I just want to go home and sleep all day. This baby is kicking my butt.

S wants to take pictures of my belly so I'll post some when that happens. We are also starting to look for a house but everything in Flagstaff seems so expensive so we'll see what we can afford.

I'm off to finish so work so I can sleep all day till E's soccer practise.
