Prego Pics Finally

Sorry, most of these I took myself. I am a little self conscience about the way I look, and I HATE getting my picture taken.

They all loaded up backwards so the one of me in the blue is from like week 21 and the ones of me in the pink/red shirt are from last week, week 25.

Depending on the shirt I am wearing also makes a big difference in how much I show. Mostly if I wear my normal non-maternity shirts is when you can tell the best.

My Pregnancy update.

I am now starting to get big in the belly and looking Pregnant. It is kewl, crazy, exciting, weird, and so many other things. While I was at a clothing store the other day, I walked past one of their many mirrors, and went wow who is that person. I sometimes still have a hard time with the fact that I am actually pregnant. Plus with it all happening so fast it makes it harder. It feels just like YESTERDAY, I swear, that we had just found out that I was prego. With only 3 1/2 months left to go, I am starting to feel a little unprepared. Yet I am also getting more and more excited mixed with scared. John, I think is a little more excited than I am at times, but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that he doesn't actually have to GIVE birth to our baby boy. (No name decided on yet) He is also scared, because he doesn't think he will be a good parent, but really what parent isn't afraid of that. (I get the feeling I have said that before.?)

I am starting to get a little annoyed with the never ending questions that will no doubt continue to be asked, "When are you due?" or "What are you having?"and "Any names picked out?" I think I should start something where if you are pregnant you carry the answers to these questions on a name tag or in some form that people can read it and don't have to ask you those questions. I don't know though, sometimes it is nice to carry on a conversation with someone about your pregnancy too.?

I am not putting any pictures on with this post. I will have to add some later, since I am at work.

Christmas... Is there anything better?

Ryland just before he start to throw a fit because the toys don't come out right away...






Ronnie is all into stars and planets so we got him a solar system that hangs from the ceiling.




This year my WONDERFUL Dad bought all of us girls pink pearl necklaces. I LOVE IT!!





Matching Daddy and Baby ties... Although babies isn't really a tie hehe.






My Prego Sweater.

Okay 5 am came fast Christmas morning. I woke up that early and could not go back to sleep. John ended up waking up at 5:30 and there we laid in bed watching TV till we felt like it was okay to go and wake up the "wee" ones to see what Santa brought. About 6:15 John went up stairs to wake up Ronnie and totally failed. So about ten minutes later he decided to go check on Ryland. The instant he opened Ryland's bedroom door, Ryland shot up out of bed and was ready to go. So John had the great idea of stick Ryland on top of Ronnie to wake him up. Shortly after that our day began...

I missed my family out in UT terribly this Christmas, but was very lucky and grateful that Morgan and her family stayed out here this year too. I loved watching the two little ones open all their presents. Especially Ryland. He was only interested till he could see what it was, and then it was NO WAY or I want it NOW! He was so cute! Poor Ronnie had just enough patience to make it through 5 us opening our presents before he could open another present. I really think if we were with the whole family out in UT Ronnie wouldn't have been able to wait.

After a great morning here opening presents and a wonderful ham and pancake breakfast, John and I headed off to his parents house for more presents and Holiday cheer. I was so grateful to also have his family to spend Christmas with. They were wonderful made me feel like I was at home. :) THANK YOU!!! It was also such a great experience to see just how his family traditions were. They are quite different from my families but still all the same great traditions. It will be interesting to see what traditions we keep and which ones we don't when our family gets bigger and we can start them with our own children.

Okay so we found out what we are having. Sorry to all those who asked after out ultrasound and I told you that we still didn't know. It was to hard to wait and we decided just last minute to find out. We thought about not telling anyone but we can't keep it in so to everyone who wants to know it is going to be a....... BOY!!! :D Yay us. I can't wait for this little one to come into our lives. We are having a little bit of trouble with thinking of names. Do we go with tradition or do we find a name we really like outside of tradition and name him that? I want your imput and it will be much appreciated. Please and thank you!

Baby Pictures

FIRST 3D PICTURE OF FUTURE BABY....


ONE OF THE BEST PICTURES I CAN THINK OF!!

We went to the doctor on Monday the 1st, and recieved our ultrasound :). For John it was his first and it changed the way he thought about me being pregnant because he was actually able to see the baby on the screen, instead of just on a piece of paper I would bring home from my other ones. I am starting to show now too, and I will eventually post pictures of my "Baby Belly" progress.
