I am not so good at blogging... I'm more of a FaceBooker .. I'm on FB daily. Ill try and get better at this blogging thing...
So I noticed that I have not updated since I first found out I was pregnant. Well, I'm still pregnant and we found out on March 1 that this baby is a GIRL we are very excited. I'm more excited to know that I finally get the girl Ive always wanted and that I feel my family is complete and this will be my last pregnancy. Ive decided that pregnancy after a loss is not the same as before cause all you do is W O R R Y! I am finally to the point where I do not worry so much about MaKaylie as she is pretty active now and moves around plenty for me. If she isn't very active, I do have a fetal heart Doppler that I can use anytime i start to worry and if i cant find her heartbeat, i can surely hear her moving around. The bleeding I had surrounding the uterus had resolved by the time i was 20 weeks so i was pretty happy about that.
We decided we would name her MaKaylie Nicole and she will be here in about 11 weeks. I am due July 22 but I get to choose her delivery date, up to a week early via C Section, so I'm holding out for July 15.
My little sister Amanda is due 1 week before me and she is having a boy and naming him Braeden Scott Frantz. I also have a couple good/close friends that are pregnant and one of them is due 1 week after me. Her name is also Amanda and she is having a girl too.. I figured on Facebook that I have almost 15 friends that are pregnant and due this year alone. So its a busy year for babies.
We also decided that since we live in a 3 bdrm house and the 2 younger boys are sharing a room that we would ask Austin if he would like to share a room with his brothers or share a room with the baby for the time being and he jumping for joy said he wanted to share his room with his baby sister (until she was old enough to where they can no longer be in the same room as they are opposite gender). Anyone know what age this is?
Tentatively, my sister Jeanie and whoever is helping her will be planning a double shower for both me and my little sister Amanda. The date is June 26th. I do not know a time or a location yet. I think it will be lots of fun though. Since it is Amanda's first baby we let her choose whether she wanted a dbl or not and at first she didn't then she changed her mind and i asked and asked are you sure cause if you want your own its OK i completely understand wanting your own. She continues to say she really wants one with me so that makes me happy.
Besides all the pregnancy stuff I realize i need to comment on my 3 boys and my husband so ..
Austin is almost 8 and is in 2nd grade and hopefully doing well (we've never received a report card for him.. maybe i should call the school on this..). He is a good kid and helps with his brothers and even helps his dad with unloading the dishwasher. Don't get me wrong, he does have his moments when his drama king attitude comes out but for the most part hes really good.
Mathew will be 6 the day after Mother's Day and I cant believe my tiny little baby is getting so big now.. he is in Kindergarten and has come a long way since the first day of school.. We were a little worried about his reading at his first parent teacher conference but by his second p t c the teacher was very impressed with his improvement and so are we. I like to call Mathew the "little mother" cause when I'm super tired and having to nap, he goes into Mother mode and takes care of himself and his little brother Jaxon. Mathew is also a really good kid and he too has his moments.
Jaxon turned 4 in March and he has been potty trained for some time now and rarely has an accident. He is moms little buddy when the other 2 are in school and he either comes and lays on the bed with me or plays on the bed with my hand, he likes to jump on it and idk why but he does. He minds pretty good. He is a really funny kid too. He can count to 11 and knows all his colors so that'll help when he starts Kindergarten in 2011.
Eric is teaching elementary school, 5th grade. This is his first year as a full time paid teacher but 2 yr as a 5th grade teacher. Last year he was the teacher but only received half pay because he was an intern. Him being full time paid teacher has helped us a lot. We were able to move and our rent increased by a little over $600 we also bought a brand new van .. A 2010 VW Routan. We like it a lot and it has bumper to bumper and free scheduled maintenance until we get to 36,000 miles which is coming faster than we want it to.. we bought it in August with 78 miles and it now has 16,000 on it. Eric is also the JV softball coach for Timpanogos High School and he enjoys coaching and our boys enjoy going to the games with dad since mom has to work. Eric is supposed to be done with college in June.
I am still working at the same place Ive been for almost 7 years now. I work afternoon/evenings.. so I'm at work anywhere from 2 pm and not scheduled off until 11:30 pm M-F. it will be nice to take 12 weeks off when the baby is born. Now if only i could stay home for good.. unfortunately that is not an option with the rent and the van.
Hmm, I am not sure what more to write about so I guess that means I'm done writing... I also wonder if any one even reads my blogs.. Cause if no one does .. well then, why am I wasting the time writing it? So if you read this, leave me a comment so I know I'm not wasting my time Thanks a bunch.
