Anniversary

18 week appointment

Today was my 18 week pregnancy appointment. Turns out a lost a pound since my 14 week appointment which seems weird to me given that it was the holidays. This brings my grand total of weight gained so far in this pregnancy to 1. I'm sure as this number grows I won't be so excited about sharing it!!!

We heard the heartbeat again which is always exciting, got blood drawn for the triple screen test(Jeremy still can't watch this part, how in the world is he going to handle labor and delivery?!?) and got our ultrasound scheduled. Yes, I know we did just have one last week but that was just a private one for gender and this one is medical and will be used to measure the baby and his organs, etc. And Jeremy will get to go to this one, so Wednesday that's where we'll be!

I went thru boxes of Vincent's baby clothes and apparently I have absolutely no newborn clothes but a heck of a lot of 6 month and 12 month clothes, hopefully they're somewhere else in the garage! It's exciting just knowing that it's a boy and know when we talk about 'the boys' it gets me a little emotional.

I'm starting my winter college class tomorrow, which also happens to be our 2 year anniversary!

Just Some Things

So...it's been a couple days since Christmas and it's been nice having this time off together, I have a really nice boss : )

The idea of 'the boys' is settling in and we've starting thinking of names. So far we really like Kaelin, Tanner, Jonathan, Kent, and lots really! But I'm sure we'll decide eventually.

We're starting to pack up. With Jeremy's back, the baby coming, and the crazy Spring semester I have we really are going to need some extra help and so my parent's have been generous enough to let us move back in and get ourselves in a better place before we set out on our own. This way we'll be able to save up and have extra help if we need it. We love being around the family so much that it will really be nice. My mom is helping us get the house together so we have our own little section and living area upstairs so it'll be really nice.

So besides being pregnant this semester, I'm having a really heavy load at school. I have to take 5 classes. One is an observation class that requires 6 hours of observation at ASU's child development lab per week, plus an internship that takes 8 hours of off campus time per week. And a lot more time being at ASU which isn't my favorite thing to do. So hopefully i'll be able to work about 25 hrs a week or so at work during tax season mind you hahaha!

It'll be crazy but nice to have that diploma before baby is born : ) and maybe take some time off before venturing into my next endeavor!

We've had a really great week and kinda fallen for each other all over again it seems. Oh I know, so cheesy!

Drumroll please...........

Jeremy & I are pleased to announce that Vincent will be having a little brother!!!

I got an early ultrasound on Tuesday and somehow managed to keep a secret until Christmas morning. I bought a blue layette set w/ stars & elephants and made our new baby's scrapbook page w/ the ultrasound pictures. The tech said it was 1000% boy!

Jeremy's reaction was so cute, he just kinda asked 'it's a boy?' Just shock mostly but it was an awesome Christmas memory!

Vincent's Birthday

"I got pickups in my mouth"

This morning Vincent woke up licked his hands and rubbed them on his cheeks, this was while he hadn't even opened up his eyes. I whispered 'what are you doing' and he told me 'i'm washing my hands'. He them proceeded to call me a tree branch and I called him a crocodile, this went on for a good twenty minutes. I love toddler insults!

After taking a drink of my water, Vincent got the hiccups or as he calls them the pickups in my mouth. He yells "MOM I have pickups in my mouth!" but before he can get thru the whole sentence his pickups get in the way and he has to start the sentence all over. He attempted this sentence at least 10 times!

When he finally gets the sentence in its entirety out, he says mom look! As if pickups in his mouth appear like bubbles!

What a funny boy, huh?

Tomorrow is his birthday, 3 years already! I can't hardly believe it!

His party is at noon at my house, come join the fun : )

This is what I got him for his birthday!
