First Baby Picture

I went to the doctor today and here is our next little one. Very healthy, active, and big! This little one is measuring 2 weeks older than we thought! So this is good and bad. Good meaning that is probably less time being pregnant and that much sooner until we find out boy or girl, which will be my next appointment! Bad because if this little one does come two weeks earlier that's right in the middle of finals for Tony. I guess we'll just have to see what this "little" one decides to do.

French Braid

After many years of trying I finally taught myself to french braid! I am so very excited! With Alaina's hair so long and curly it has a tendency to get pretty crazy. So today I decided to try, again, to braid Alaina's hair and hooray, success! I'm pretty proud of myself and I think it looks pretty good. I have now reached a new level of mommyhood because I can now french braid. Not that I can do my own hair, but the fact that I can keep my girl's hair up and out of mouths and food is a very good thing.

Moving In

Here are some pictures of the day we moved into our apartment in Rexburg. Thankfully it didn't snow until the next day. We spent the next week unpacking and organizing. I would really like to say that everything is in it's rightful place and we have space to spare. But I wouldn't want to lie. For the most part we've got everything unpacked, but we've got those last few boxes that continue to sit on the kitchen table. One of these days I'll get to it.

Our Kitchen Table is in there somewhere. I promise!

Christmas

I'm ashamed that with my morning sickness and being in limbo between Meridian and Rexburg we didn't get many pictures of Christmas this year and none of Christmas morning. Oh well. It was a busy holiday this year and here are some of the activities we participated in.

Carson and Alaina visiting with Santa at the Ward Christmas Party. They did a pajama party and served Breakfast. It was lots of fun!

Decorating the Christmas Tree. This year my parents broke down and bought a tree because of bad road conditions. Ever since I can remember they've gone up to the mountains to cut one down.
Carson and Alaina making Christmas Decorations. Which we never ended up giving out. You can blame a sick mommy for that!

December

With all the goings on of the Holidays, morning sickness, and moving I've been quite a slacker when posting pictures and our activities. So he's my attempt to catch up. I'm not exactly sure but when we were still in Meridian there was a good snow (for that area) so the kids, cousins, grandma, Collette, and I made a snow man. In all actuality Collette and I made the snow man. It was still fun and last for quite a while.

4 days and counting

I'm sure many of you are sick and tired of hearing about my pregnancy at this point, so I'll just make this quick. I've made it 4 whole days in a row without throwing up! I don't feel "normal" yet but not running to the bathroom all the time is a definite bonus!

Pregnancy

Since I haven't been to the doctor yet, I know I need to get on that, I've been doing some research on the Internet to find my due date. According to this site I'm due on Aug 3rd and am about 10 weeks along. That means I'm almost through my first trimester! Hopefully I'll get over this morning sickness that I've been dealing with for the last 5 weeks soon! I don't know how much longer I can take this. More importantly I don't know how much longer my poor husband can take it! He's been wonderful helping out and picking up my slack as much as possible, but with school starting he just can't do it all. Honestly he shouldn't have to! I'm so thankful for him! Also according to the Chinese calender we're having another girl. Tony and I think it's a boy. We'll just have to wait another 10-12 weeks to find out for sure. I'm definitely showing more quickly with this one. People who don't know I'm pregnant probably just think I've got a fat belly, but those who know can defiantly seen my baby belly. I think I may have to get out my maternity cloths soon. Not that I can't make some of my other cloths work, I just need the comfort of elastic waistbands.
