Baby # 2 coming...........


I had my first Dr. appt today! Baby #2 is due June 30 2013! Everything looks great, 2 arms, hands, legs and feet and 1 head. It's measuring 4.45 cm. I am 11 weeks 2 days along. My mom was able to come down and go to the ultrasound with us, it was fun having her there. It was also so much fun having Teydon there, he loved listening to the heart beat and seeing the baby. I think it made it more real for him and now we have pics that I can show him to remind him of whats growing in mommies tummy. When we were listening to the heart beat and it measures the beats, it showed the measurements (spikey things) Teyd called it a shark, so our nickname for our little jelly bean is now little shark. And thats how it's been treating me too, like a shark,  the morning sickness has been so much worse this go around. With Teyd I only threw up 3 times this one I have thrown up 6 times, mornings are the worst and it takes me until 1 or 2 to be able to do anything. Most days I can get food to settle my upset stomach other days nothing helps and its just a sick day. I knew when I was 3.5 weeks along that I was pregnant, smells were way strong (bath and body works), I was always hungry, my breasts were the most noticable change- growing and tender (sorry if thats TMI). Sickness didnt kick in until 7 weeks but has been full force since then. We told close family when I was 5 weeks by having Teyd wear his sweatshirt, it took some people awhile to notice it and others not long at all. It was a fun way to announce it and Teydon was able to be a part of it, thou he wasnt exactly sure what it meant. We are excited and a little nervous for our new addition, good thing we have 6+ months to get prepared for it. Hoping we adjust well to two kids. I am glad we waited as long as we did, Teydon will be almost 3.5 yrs old and already is pretty indepentant and can take care of himself for the most part and entertain himself. By the time the "Shark" is here he'll be a pro, he's had to take care of himself alot with me being sick and tired all the time, he's such a good, awesome kid. I think he'll have a lot of fun with the baby, it'll take him a little adjusting to not having our full attention but I still think he'll have fun with it. I am so excited to start feeling better, hopefully soon, so I can start to enjoy this pregnancy. Life is good!!!

Christmas tree hunting!

We usually go out to Snowville and get a tree, family tradition but decided this year we wanted to find one somewhere closer, I found out from a neighbor that Preston had tree permits for only $10, sweetness! Well today we went there and they were all sold out, sold out last Friday. So we had to go to plan B, buy one from a lot. We decided to stop and Tony's Grove and found Santa there too! Teydon liked talking to Santa and hanging out with him but would not sit on his lap, even when we got baby Kasen to sit with him he wouldn't do it. He told Santa that he wanted jingle bells for Christmas, haven't heard that one before. Before we left the house he told me he wanted a helicopter. I love this age it is so much fun and so cute, minus the tantrums.
We were able to find us a tree after looking and chasing Teydon around for an hour and a half.
