17 Weeks Already!

Yup. There it is. Now remember when I posted like...a 6 week belly? I was huge!!! Funny how that works. But trust me, my belly gets much bigger throughout the day! I'll have to post a pic from after I eat ha ha. Free willy!!! JK. Anyway, nothing really exciting going on. Oh, well, I did finally get my taxes! It is such a great relief. I stressed about it for way too long. Although we had planned to take a vacation to Cali with the money, that is no longer a possibility. I paid off every bill we had, thank God. So no money left for anything other than savings! I did treat myself to some much needed new clothes, shoes, makeup, etc! Also spoiled Maddox ♥ Love doing that! Feels so good. And now, we have some breathing room every check, and more money to put away for when baby arrives! The name I LOVE LOVE LOVE for the new baby is Xayvian(pronounced Zayvian) But Erik is not a fan. For middle names I like Kendrick and Josiah. Erik doesn't like those either! Go figure. But hey, he chose Maddox, so I get to choose this time! I really don't want to budge on the name. For one, he can't come up with any good suggestions. And two, it's so cute and unique so why not! But I am so excited for this baby, I can't wait to see how Maddox reacts. I hope he doesn't get jealous, he is very much a mommy's boy! The cutest thing he does is when I sing the I Love you Song from Barney, he starts rocking back and forth and lays his head on my chest til I finish the song. It's SO cute! Ahh I love him so much.

Update time!

I really suck at updating this thing. I always forget about it. Oops. Well that, and I really don't have anything exciting to write about. Let's see, I am 16 weeks and 1 day now! Still not much of a belly, and still not gaining weight! I wish I could get out of this ugly in between stage where you almost look pregnant, but more fat than anything! Only if I really stick it out does it look like I'm pregnant! Oh well. I will be regretting that later when I am a huge whale! So far so good though. 2 more weeks til the next dr appt, where they do the big ultrasound and all the measurements. That should be fun. We haven't really done much lately. Saw Alice in Wonderland, that was a good movie! Can't wait for it to come out on dvd. Took Maddox to the playground yesterday, he LOVES being outside! He is so cute running(well, walking fast) around everywhere! He loves slides too, couldn't get him off those things! I just love watching him have fun outside. I can't wait for summer. I want to take him to the zoo, camping, the lake, so many places! And hopefully taxes will be here within the next week(yes, I'm STILL waiting!) and we are planning a trip to Cali to go see my dad and his family. I am so excited. I want to go to the beach SO BAD! I need to find a cute swim suit to wear, even though I look fat no matter what! Oh well, that's part of the beauty of life right! I want to take Maddox to the zoo there too, and the Japanese Tea Gardens, maybe santa cruz boardwalk, and I would LOVE to go to six flags or disneyland, but well, guess being preggo I won't have much fun. But there are plenty of other things to do out there! I wish I could live there. I love it so much.
Other than that, really nothing else going on around here. I am trying to get into Weber State(about an hour or so from me) so I can go into the Ultrasound Tech program. I really want to do that for a living! See babies all day, and get paid good money! But I am having some issues, with my old school University of Phoenix(online) because I owe them money, so they won't release my transcripts til I pay them over 2 grand! Sheesh, gotta jump through hoops to get an education nowadays! I'm trying to work around it though, but if not, I will probably choose a different occupation. I dunno what else I can do! Well that's a long enough update for now, ta ta for NOW!

It's a...............

Yup it sure is! Erik was right, once again! Another little boy runnin around, causing trouble! It's ok though, Maddox will have a little brother. Next time we will get a girl! Ha ha. Everything looks good so far. Every pose he made was just like Maddox, and I swear I have the same pics of Maddox's ultrasounds that I do from this baby! They are so alike. It will be interesting to see if this baby comes out looking like daddy or mommy. I say like me :) Another little white boy! Ha ha. But we shall see. I am very excited and I can't wait. My sister told me she is planning my baby shower! Yay I can't wait. CAKE!!! Ha ha. Except I have awhile to go still. Oh well. I like green and brown for baby shower colors, but that is subject to change :) Man I can't wait for summer, and nice weather! It snowed last night! Boo. It's all melted now though. Except I will be a fat whale this summer! That will suck. But I just want to take Maddox outside places, like to the park, the lake, camping, just lots of places that he hasn't been able to go yet! Oh and the zoo! It should be a good summer :) I can't wait for baby number 2! Boy names are so hard to pick. especially when erik hates EVERYTHING! I like the names Malakai and Alijah Bentley. But Erik hates both. Figures. I told him I will just pick a name, sign the birth certificate, and not even tell him! Ha ha. We can't agree on anything I swear! Oh well, we still have plenty of time to come up with some more names. Anyway, toodles for now!

Updating...

13 Weeks 3 days! Some days I'm bigger than others I suppose. My sister in law keeps telling me how big I am for only 3 months. I'm like..shut up! I'm pregnant, what's your excuse?! ha ha jk. Well I don't think I'm that big. And yesterday, I come to find out, I've lost 10 pounds so far! I don't know how since I don't really throw up or anything. Weird. Oh well. I have had some concerns lately. One, the bleeding has returned. About a week now. But it is dark brown, just like the dr predicted. But lately I have been having really painful stomach and abdominal pain. It hurts really bad. The nurse said to take tums for it! Weird. And I have also been having contractions! Nothing serious of course, and probably just the braxton hicks, but it still shocked me. The nurse said drink lots of fluids, which I have been, and maybe take a bath. Hmmm. I see the dr on Wednesday, so I will talk to him more about it then. We also find out the sex then, yay! I had a dream last night he had a wee wee! Ha ha ha.
So today was my first day back to work from being on bedrest. Not really what I wanted, but I need the money. So here I am. Joy.
I am STILL waiting on my taxes! Lordy, I filed Jan 30th! They said its in "error status" blah blah blah wait and wait and wait some more! Then when we feel like sending you YOUR money, we will! Idiots. So frustrating. Oh well, nothing to be done about it. Just sit and wait.
Well I believe that's all for now, I will update again when we find out the sex!
OH, Bachelor finale tonight! Go tenley! Even though rumors say vienna wins :( boo.
