Waiting Game

UGH! SO I thought that I was in labor last Friday, actually, I bet that I really was and then my little girl just decided to change her mind. lol. I was having contractions consistently for well over an hour and they were getting stronger when I walked around. I went to the hospital and was still contracting like crazy, then they told me to get up and walk and ended up having even more contractions. When I got back to the room they had me in, the contractions all but stopped. They became less intense and farther apart. So needless to say, after being at the hospital for almost 6 hours, they sent me home. I have been having contractions since then, but with not consistency. I just want to see my baby already!! This waiting game happens to suck a lot! I have done everything I could think of or have researched to get things going. I think that I have gotten more exercise over the past few days by walking then I have in my entire life! And I had someone recommend Red Raspberry tea to start contractions, yep... nothin'! My little girl is as stubborn as her daddy! haha. This is frustrating just waiting. It probably wouldn't be this bad if last Friday hadn't happened. But I had that little glimpse of hope and excited, and now I am going crazy just wanting her to be here already!

Our Little Bumble Bee

I just had to post this! Tay was a Bumble Bee for Halloween this year, and she was probably the CUTEST Bumble Bee that I have EVER seen! She had so much fun Trick or Treating! She got so much candy too! I think it was because she was so darn cute that people gave her more candy! :) She was so good too! She said thank you and had such good manners. Everyone in our neighborhood said that she had the best manners that they had seen out of all the kids that had come to their doors. So of course they gave her more candy for being polite too! It was really funny, she went up to someones door, said "Trick or Treat" got given candy then said thank you and started to walk away, and the women told her to come back and said that because she had said thank you, she got to get another big handful of candy. So Tay said thank you again and waited for the 3rd handful haha! She caught on really quick on how that all worked haha! We had a blast taking her out! I will have to see if Tyson can help me put the video of her Trick or Treating up here to show everyone. Cutest Bumble Bee Ever!!!

In the Home Stretch!

I haven't written in a while, so I figured that I would update everyone on how things are going. Well, I'm still pregnant! but that is a good thing since we aren't due until early December haha. The baby moves all the time now! I swear that she does back flips and kung fu in my tummy every morning! She now wakes me up in the mornings with her fidgets :) But I am in my third and final trimester! I can't believe how fast all of this has gone! We are starting to get ready for her arrival and we couldn't be more excited! Tailynn seems like she is more excited then both Tyson and I are, if that is even possible! All she talks about is her sister and what she is going to do when her sister comes out. She is already very protective of her little sis. She yells at the dog if he jumps up on the couch next to me and puts his paw on my stomach and says "NO ROCKY!!! YOUR GUNNA HURT MY SISTER!" She even yells at Tyson when she thinks that he is being rough with me haha! great big sister already! We went thru all of her clothes this weekend and found some of her old baby clothes that I decided to put up for the baby. She was just ecstatic that her sister was going to wear her old clothes! I think that she would have given the baby all of her clothes if it was up to her! She is starting to help around the house by putting away the cutlery from the dishwasher and every time after she finishes she announces to us that she is a "Good big sister helper!" She cracks me up! She has really made waiting for the baby even more fun than I thought it would be! I have pretty much figured out that I won't have to buy the baby any clothes for the first year or so of her life! A lady that Tyson works with just had a baby and she is constantly giving us big bags of clothes! Thanks Erin!!! :) I now have so many white onezy that I think that I could justify them being disposable! haha! OH! I almost forgot! Tay started pre-school! She is growing up so fast!! I am going to have to find something to make sure that this baby always stays little! haha! Tay is getting quite the little personality too! Tyson had asked her to hand him the remote that was only a couple feet away and her response to him was. "UGH! DAD! You're lazy!" hahaha!! That comment had us cracking up for a while! I told Tyson that he couldn't be mad at her for calling him out! She makes our life more light and fun! Can't wait for the other one to come along to join the fun! We still don't have any names picked out yet. But I do have to announce to everyone that my wonderfully stubborn husband..... *rolls eyes* said that he won't veto every name that I bring up to him, and that I can name the baby and he won't put up a fuss. BOUT TIME!!!!! :) Love you Hunny!

ITS A GIRL!!!

So we finally found out today that we are going to have a baby girl! YAY!! We are so excited! Now I have my own real life Barbie doll. :) I am excited to be able to put Bows in her hair (Supplied by my wonderful sister-in-law Darci!) She is starting a Bow business! Tay went with us to the ultrasound. She didn't quite understand what the pictures on the TV were, and then she heard the tech ask if we wanted to know what we were having. And when Tay heard it was a girl, our wonderful, sensitive girl said, "I didn't want a girl! I wanted a boy!"haha But I think that she is getting used to the idea that she can play dress up with her sister. Everything with the baby looks wonderful! We got to see that heart and spinal cord and all of the baby's limbs! It was very cool, especially when we got to see her little hands! She is definitely Tyson's daughter, she was a squirmy little girl! She kept movin' her legs so the tech couldn't get a clear picture of her. And when it came time to look at the head, she was stickin her tongue out! haha! So we already have a little Pickle on our hands! We are so excited! I can't wait for these next 4 months to come and go! I feel her kickin' around in there a lot now! And I think that I have felt her kick on the outside of my stomach. So that was pretty cool! Now that we know its a girl, its time for the tough part, a name! :)

I felt it!

So I felt the baby move today!! It was a quick little flutter but it was definitely something that I have never felt before! It was amazing to thing that my baby is inside me movin' around! We also went to the Dr's yesterday and heard the baby's heart beat! I have never heard a heart beat so fast! And the Dr's said that it was good and strong! We will find out if we are buying pink or blue on July 20th! We are so excited!!!! I am 16 weeks yesterday. I can't believe that I am already 4 months pregers! It has gone by so fast!

Happy News!

Ok, so we have been keeping a secret for about 13 weeks. YIP! you guessed it! We are going to have a baby!!! We found out 7 days before the wedding and have kept it a secret since then. We finally told our families this past weekend. Everyone is SOOO excited!! We also had our first Dr's appointment last Thursday and they did an ultrasound! You could actually tell that there is a baby in my tummy! The Dr says that everything looks great and that I am on schedule for a due date of December 9th. We are going to have an incredible Christmas present form Heaven this year! We are so excited!! It was our big surprise for the year. Tailynn was the first person we told and she is SO excited to be a big sister! We asked her if she wants a boy or a girl. She said a boy so that she could be the big sister. Then we asked her, well if its a girl, what will you be. She got very quiet and you could just hear her mind going and then all of a sudden she goes,"I dunno!" haha so she doesn't quite realize that she is a big sister no matter what. All she ever talks about now is the baby. The first thing she asks me everytime she sees me is "Is the baby out of your tummy yet?!" We tried to explain to her that the baby was going to be here in Decmeber, but how do you explain time to a 4 year old. So we said that the baby will be here when Christmas comes, so then she thought that Santa was bringing the baby. HAHA it is so funny how her mind works. She finally understands that the baby is in my tummy and going to come out of my tummy when its Christmas time, and not coming on Santa's Sleigh. She likes to touch my belly all the time too, to see if she can feel the baby yet. Tyson is very excited too! He is so funny, he sleeps with his hand on my stomach now. I am so blessed to have a wonderful supportive husband to take care of me thru this. It has been a little nerve racking thru this whole thing. Being a first time mom is exciting but at the same time it makes me nervous. I will have to scan the untrasound photo and post it on here. It is too funny! Everyone is pregnant around me too! My best friend Alicia is pregnant and we are only about 8 days apart. And she is actually due on my birthday! And then my step sister is pregers too! She is about 6 weeks along right now and is due at the end of January. Who's next?! Don't drink the water! haha. Well my next Dr's appointment is on June 30th and we find out if its a boy or a girl! We are so excited! We are hoping for a boy, but both of our families don't know how to have anything but girls! We are going to start picking out names as soon as we find out the sex. I'll write again soon to update on any fun facts or anything! :)

The Wedding

So I have a lot to write about since its been a while. The wedding went fantastic!!! We were married on Friday April 24th at 5:30pm. It was so beautiful! It was totally the wedding that I had dreamt of. Tyson looked so handsome standing at the end of the isle. I just wanted to run and tackle him! haha And Tailynn looked so beacutiful! She was the cutest little flower girl EVER!!! She did such a good job walking down the isle too. She threw the flowers like she was supposed to. It was so funny we had Tyson's nephew, Adler be our ring bearer and he wouldn't hold Tay's hand down the isle. Isntead he started punching the ring bearer pillow. I didn't get to see it, but the pictures are hillarious! It was so much fun! And almost all of Tyson's family was able to come down for the big event. Once of the happiest days of my life! I got to marry the man I love more than anything! How cool is that!!!?
