What to do after the Rain!!!

Guess What!!!!

We spent the weekend in Twin Falls, We had fun.Jack did so good in the car. i borrowed my sisters dvd player and he watched a movie. He would soon just doze off and sleep the rest of the way. We also did his one year pictures and let me just say, they are so CUTE!!!!! His aunt Bethany took them for us and she did so good. She took us to a junk yard some where in Twin and we just went at it. Jack was in a pretty good for not actually taking a nap and just started smiling right off. It was fun. Well actually is was about 100 degrees, Bethany and I are both pregnant and the were these pocky sticky things from the weeds that were every where. We were sweating and our feet hurt, but it was worth it.

The GUESS WHAT PART!!!!! We are having another BOY!!!!!. We got to have an ultra sound while we were there and got the good news. Im so excited. the boys will be exactly 18 months apart. I love that they will be so close. Im due the week of Christmas so that might be rough so maybe this year I will just let Jason do all the shopping.!! HAHAHA. He would love that. I feel like Im on Cloud 9. Im so happy.

JACK IS ONE

Well Jack turned one last week. It came too fast. Jasons dad and step-mom came from Twin Falls to see us. It was nice to have them here. We didnt do much for Jacks birthday. He turned one he really could care less. His favorite toy right now is the tooth brush, but we had fun. We gave him a rocking horse and a few clothes. The horse was actually mine from when I was little. Jason sanded it and repainted it so it looks better. Jack just pushs it around the room. He is still a little short to get on there. We had a fun day.
He started walking about a month ago. He just stood up in the middle of the living room and took off. Since then I find so many things in odd places. Since we found out we were expecting another, I knew at some point he had to get a different bed. My mom found a toddler bed on craigslist. I figured we might as well try so we got his new room ready and believe it or not its been almost a month and he is doing great. He has fallen out a few times but just goes right back to sleep. I think he likes he can just wake up and come find me when he is ready.

So Much to Tell

Oh My!!!!! Let me tell its been one of those months. Its crazy here. This is going to be a bunch a rambles BUT I have to start from the begining.
I really wanted May to be a good month. I was hoping the weather was going to warm up and Jack and I could go for walks and just be outside. As weird as it sounds for a baby,Jack loves grass. So much for not having to worry about a blanket. He sits, crawls and eats the grass. Its pretty funny. Anyway,to start off. My glasses broke. jack has this things where he isnt a fan of things on the face. He is always pulling them off and eventually my glasses didnt fit anymore and one of the lenses was popping out. I need a new exam anyway but I was really trying to wait. Stuff costs!! So I made my apt and about $200 later I got my new glasses. Little did I know Shopko,(thats where i went) could have just redone my frames for free. But now at least I have two pairs. Lesson learned.
So now we are reaching Mothers Day weekend and my moms birthday. We spent that Sunday with my fam and had a good time. Jack did seem a bit fussy but I thought it was just cause he didnt get a good nap. That evening we got home and I took his temp. 101' ok maybe he is getting something. He went to bed fine I figured we would see how the night went. At 1:30am we wakes up screaming. Poor guy. I felt so bad for him. Jason and I were both up til almost five. Seeing how I hadnt had any sleep i called into work and stayed home with my boys. Jack seemed ok and he fever had broke. So I got him some breakfast about six hoping he might go back to sleep. Pretty soon the screaming and crying started again. I just didnt know what to do. The fever was back and now he wouldnt eat or drink anything..... Ok so having Jack first I really lucked out. He really is a great baby. He sleeps through the night. takes good naps. Loves food and his bottle. takes a binky like candy. I dont know how i got so lucky with my first. So my worries started when he wouldnt even take his bottle. I called my doctor and explained our night. We got right in. We take him to the Pediatric Center it about a mile from our house. Dr. Anderson has been his doctor since week one and I just love him. He is so good. So Jack had some fluid in both ears. So back on a med for ten days. But the sad part was that he had a virial infection in the back of is mouth. It was like have a ton of cranker sores back there. That explained why he wouldnt drink. We went back home with some Pedialite and his medicine. That evening things got worse. Jack was throwing up everywhere. it was awful. I called my dad and he and Jason gave jack a blessing. I felt better but our next right was pretty much a repeat.This time jack and I just slept on the couch. jack would just lay there and stare at me. I felt so bad for him. I just cried and said my prayers that he would get better. I stayed home from work again on tuesday and jack did seemed. That night he slept all night. Jason stayed home on Wednesday just to give him another day of rest.
I may sound lame but Jack is just such a happy baby. I really do feel that this may have been my true welcoming into Motherhood. This was really one of the worst two days we have had since he was born. Werid Im sure.
Among other things, our house was put for sale, and we found out we are expecting Baby#2.Talk about over load in one week. The pressure was really on and things just werent feeling right. So one week later we took the house off the market. Im not ready to leave our little home. I love it here. Im really excited about the new baby coming. Im only about ten weeks but i am definetly sick. I was sick the whole time with Jack, and it seems worse with this one. At least with Jack I could puke and get it out of my system. Now I just feel like crap all day. but its going to be fun. I have two sister-in- laws who are also pregnant so the babies will be close in age. Well I know this was alot. Somethimes you just have to let it all out at once.

Kitchen Makeover

These are about a year old but i wanted to put on here what we did before Jack was born. I was 8 months pregnant when I came home from work and Jason had torn my kitchen apart. We had talked about this since we moved in. We just hadnt done anything yet. But i guess he got motivated. I was out of a kitchen for about two weeks. And talk about saw dust everywhere. There were a few nights I couldnt even be in the house. But it has been so nice and it was an amazing change from what we had. I love it. We put in a dishwasher but its still not hooked up yet. We have to replace our fuse box for a breaker box to do it. So more works are in for us. We have been here 3 1/2 years and its been a good home.

Oh-The Joy of Pictures!!!

HE IS SO CUTE!!!My baby is 9 months old. We went to Twin Falls last weekend to see family,and just have a weekend away. We usually stay at Jason's dads but my sister Ashley gave us a discount on a room at the Ameritel.It was so fun (post that later). And of course we went for family pictures. I feel very lucky I have a sister-in-law that does picture. That way when he turns into a stinker, And you have the last minute outfit change and OH YEAH the bottle cause he got really bad. You dont have some lady looking at you like you cant get it together and your child is out of control. Yeah , pictures are great. But they did turn out so really good. Thanks Bethany. I love them you did a great job.
