My boys!!!

Tired boys after playing for hours in the snow!!! They've grown to love the doggie door so they play all day outside regardless of the weather!
Wet Alvin after coming in from playing in the snow!

This is the boys about a month ago when Alvin wasn't quite sure he liked playing---now he doesn't leave Buddy alone, but he used to hide under the coffee table and totally tease Buddy :)

10 Weeks Prego


So I uploaded a small picture because this picture just makes me look fat. I seriously can't believe I'm showing already. I really haven't gained weight, it's just all shifted to my chest and belly! The look on my face is because I'm trying to suck in as much as possible, but its not working very well. Yikes!!! Well, this is what the "experts" say about our little one....Although he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature. If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

Change in Cribs!!!


My dad's sister, Michele, called me a few days before we went home a couple weekends ago to say that if I wanted I could have her crib and changing table from when she had my cousin Anna. Well, they're POTTERY BARN and the crib was recalled when Anna was 2 so my Aunt took it in and exchanged it and Anna slept in it for about 2 months before she moved to a "BIG GIRL" bed, so more or less it's TWO MONTHS old. So my mom resold the cherry one on craiglist (it sold in 2 days! LOL) and I have this one. I love it and can't wait until we set it up. Hopefully next weekend we do the office switch.
Bryce was layed off on Monday. The company he worked for is a moving company and Bryce was buddies with the owners kids. Well, they're struggling because the housing market it down so much and they more or less layed off everyone but family. Monday was a hard day, but we know that there is a plan for us and that he'll find another job and that everything will be ok. I don't know how people get through life without the Lord, cuz I seriously would be a mess right now considering we have a house and now a baby on the way!!! The plus side of this is that Bryce has had LOTS of extra time the last few days to work around the house. He almost has the last room in the house finished!!! It's going to be our office so that our "guest"/"baby" room doesn't have to be partially an office anymore. It should be done by Saturday. I think he'll paint it tomorrow!! Then, once he figures out the carpet deal in the shed, my craft room will be done and then we can get almost everything out of our garage!!! Oh, I can't wait to park in the garage!!! I've never got to do that before!!! It will be so much fun! haha!!!
Let's see, I've had a few people ask questions, so I'll answer them here, now!! I am feeling great! I have moments, but more or less I've gotten really lucky so far. I've had one bad day were I thought the morning sickness was starting, but it only lasted that one day. My mom really didn't get sick, so I just think we're really blessed that way.
My next doctors appointment is April 6th. It's the first one with my doctor and she'll do a bedside ultrasound on the little ultrasound machine just to make sure the baby is growing right and to check the chambers of the umbical cord (which I didn't know had chambers-lol!!) My ultrasound to find out what we're having will either be the week before my brother's wedding or the week after. I'm hoping the week before so that we can go shopping in Cali!!! He's getting married May 30th in the San Diego Temple for those of you who didn't know that :) I think that answers most of the questions! I've hit the chubby stage and I'm not really a fan of the chubby stage cuz I just feel fat. I already can't wear my wedding ring :( It was getting tight before I got prego, so yeah! I'm 8 weeks prego this past Tuesday and my due date is Oct 20th. My sister in law was due the 21st but she went late! I keep harrassing Jack that we're going to have the baby early and have it on his birthday the 18th which doesn't make him very happy!!! It's pretty darn funny!!
