3 years AND 27 weeks!

So, Makenna's 3rd birthday was in March but I have been a big slacker and hadn't taken any "good" pictures of her. So last Friday I took some picture of Jordan my cute nephew and it got me motivated to do Makenna's the next day! They turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself! I can't wait to have my little guy to take pictures of too! Only 13 more weeks, but I went to the doctor yesterday and I got the rhogam shot and they are only good for 12 weeks so I asked the nurse what if I go past 12 weeks and she said that they would probably induce me before it expires! So that was kinda cool. But my doctor has told me several times she doesn't think I will make it to 40 weeks because I labored on my own at 38 weeks with Makenna. I hope she's right because I have a feeling once August gets here I am going to be very miserable. It's already difficult to move around and my feet get huge and swollen. And I have been getting lovely heartburn.. But I'll take it over being nauseated. Yesterday, at work two old ladies asked me if I was having twins. I wanted to flip them the bird but I said nope, no way. So I asked my doctor if I looked huge and she said no and that I am measuring exactly where I should be. Oh and I have seen other 27 weekers and they look similar in size. So anyway I am getting very excited to meet my little guy! We still do not have a name narrowed down. Ryan likes Race, and I like Kai or Mckai. So we'll see I guess!!!

Easter 2011

Checking out stuff in her Easter basket

Gum!!!

Easter egg hunt.

Chopper wanted some candy too.

I know she looks like an Orphan here but once her hair was done she looked cute, even with the mac n cheese she had for brunch all over the front of her!

Just lots of pictures from Easter morning mainly. We had lots of fun during the day with lots of family!

I really really really wish God would have gave women a belly window! Literally, a window to see in our belly. Or maybe it could just develop during pregnancy! How awesome would that be? I have wanted so
many times to be able to look in and see my baby while pregnant. I can watch my belly moving because he is moving and I love to just watch it and I always wish I could see in a watch him move. Ah...it would be so neat.

It's a BOY!

 

It's a boy--here's the proof! 

Cute profile with his hand under his chin.

Cutest lil boy I've ever seen, mine!!

Another face profile.

So my ultrasound was Thursday (the 24th) and everything looked great! So glad I can relax now. We are just so excited to be having a boy. I can't wait to see Ryan and Makenna with him. I am so overwhelmed with joy I can't even describe it. I'm just so in love and happy in life right now.   

My cute little banana who is 3 years old already. These are just a few pictures I did messing around yesterday.Look at all her expressions. Different face each time I said "smile" Silly girl. Love her to pieces.

3 years old

Yesterday was Makenna's 3rd birthday. I can't believe she is already 3. We had a fun little party with our families! Makenna got a big girl bike from Mom and Dad. She got lots of new clothes, books, toys, bubble bath, movies, the princess and the frog movie, doll and dress to match. And LOTS and LOTS of lip gloss! My dad and Melissa also brought her some fun toys from Mexico!!

Hello Kitty cupcakes!

New big girl bike!

Opening all her loot!

Blowing out the candles

We also get to find out on Thursday what our little baby is? I am so excited but I also have a lot of anxiety the last couple of days just because I know that this is most likely when we will find out if something is wrong developmentally, if there is anything wrong. I really hope not. I just keep worrying but I'm sure nothing will be wrong and I'll stop worrying after Thursday. :)

Fetal Cam!

My mom found this cute little widget and I thought it was cute so I posted it. I think it's cute how you can hear the heartbeat and the laugh.

Big girl bed!

Last week once all of our house was put back together, I got Makenna's room done. We got her big girl bed set up with all the cute bedding. She got a new matching rug and lamp. I got some fun things for the wall above her bed but haven't put them up yet. Yesterday we moved the crib down to the baby's room. So that makes her room seem a lot bigger. And since all the toys are moved downstairs too it stays much cleaner. I love it! Then once I got the crib into the baby's room I kept going and put the changing table back together and moved all the baby stuff into "it's" room!! So now it's ready for a baby. I felt like I was "nesting" yesterday. But I got SO much done. It feels great. And since I got all the baby stuff out of the computer/spare bedroom it's way less crowded in there too! Now I just need to know if I'm having a boy or girl so I can finish, well mostly decorate it's room! So excited!! Only 39 more days till we get to find out. I say next month because it makes it seem sooner! :)

Cute matching lamp.

January

January has come and gone! Already. Crazy how time flies to me. So we have had so much fun this past month. To start my sister Trista and her husband who have been living in Turkey came home for a surprise visit!! I was so shocked to see them. I had to look twice to make sure it was them I was seeing! So we hung out and had lots of fun together. I wish they were coming back for good. I miss having them here.




Baby room! (most likely)



Hallway downstairs

 We have been working on getting our basement finished for a few months now. Well since October and it's FINALLY done. We have been wanting to do it for longer and it always got forgotten about. I'm so glad it is done and out of the way. It feels so much less cluttered to have the extra space. Especially for all the toys! And I had to sweet talk my loving husband into painting upstairs and getting new carpet upstairs too. It wasn't very difficult though. He pretty much lets me have/do whatever I want. He is so good to me and Makenna. He works so hard and I just love how much he adores Makenna and loves taking care of her. I couldn't ask for a better husband or dad!

Makenna got her second haircut ever last week. I've decided she needs to have it cut or at least trimmed trimmed more often. So she won't be scared to have it done. She wasn't to sure about it this time. But Jamie got out her container of suckers and everything was happy again! :)

Picking out a sucker!

All done! The back view.

Oh and last but not least in January we had 

our first doctor's appointment. Yep, we're having another baby!!! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I have felt so good this time being pregnant. It's great. If it could be like this every time I'd probably have more. But since there are no guarantees....we'll see. So anyway, I'm 12 weeks along and everything looked great on the ultrasound. So Makenna will have a new sister or brother in August.We tell her she is going to have a baby brother and sister and for the most part I think she is picturing a baby doll. She has so many and that is what she knows a baby is. Ryan is excited too. At first he was more excited that me. He's hoping for a boy, of course! Either way, pink or blue doesn't matter to me. I just wish it were possible to find out the gender sooner. I can't wait to have a tiny newborn again. Don't get me wrong I'm not excited for the 2am feedings etc. but I love when babies are so new and tiny and smell good and they're skin is flaky and they have little white bumps on there skin around their nose and how tiny everything is like diapers, clothes, bottles, and even their little baby poops. And the sound of a newborn cry. Just how different it sounds. So with all that blabbering I am pretty excited to say the least.











Aunt Trista is the best! Who else will let you eat jelly with a butter knife at a restaurant. 

So I tried to add a few more pictures and they order got all messed up and I can't figure out how to move them! So ta da! :)
