16weeks

So I am a little behind on pregnancy updates but whats new. I have already reached the second trimester mark and let me tell you these 16 weeks have flown by. Somehow it seems with a little one at home to chase after I have very little time to actually remember I am pregnant. (I think this is a good thing:)).
      With Kins the first trimester was complete hell. Nausea, vomitting and utter tiredness all day every day. If my memory serves me correctly it seems all of that stopped directly around the second trimester mark.
        With this baby I have mild nausea and ickiness that seems to only be in the morning and the nausea meds my dr. gave me do the trick. So much so that other than this belly I don't feel pregnant. Speaking  of that.....this time around my belly seemed to pop out of nowhere and I am for sure showing A LOT sooner.
On Monday we go back for another checkup and will schedule another sonogram after that. So with any luck with will be able to find out the sex of baby P in the next couple of weeks. Whoo Hoo!!!
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and have a cocktail for me!!(Seriously....please do:))!

Shaving Cream Fun

So yesterday Kinsey and I broke out the shaving cream in an attempt to make a HUGE mess and have lots of fun. Great idea right? This girl does not like to get messy darn it. Knowing this, I thought we would just start off with a small bowl of shaving cream to see if she would put her hands in it. No dice. So mommy started off in hopes Kinsey would follow. Once again, no dice.

So I ended up with shaving cream all over me and Kinsey was clean as could be. I couldn't possibly let that happen. I may or may not have taken the shaving cream and put some on her hands and tummy much to her dismay. She seemed to like it the more dirty that I got....so here goes nothing. I am covered at this point. Now Kinsey thinks this shaving cream stuff may not be too bad. So in the tub we go and I let her get out all of her bath babies and cover them as well. In total this lasted about 20 mins and by then she had had her fill. So quick bath and fun afternoon activity is over. Wah Woh.
Oh well.....you can't blame a mom for trying. :)

18 months.

Even though we are pushing 19 months I had better get this documented so my old mind will have something to refer to when she is much older.
I can hardly believe a year and a half has passed since you joined our family. It almost seems that life didn't exist before you were here. You have changed our lives so much and I have a heavy heart that you are growing so quickly. You change daily and I couldn't imagine a second without you. I love you so much Kinsey bear.
Ok Ok enough sappy mom stuff.
You walk run everywhere and I can't keep up with you.
You are wearing size 4 diapers and 18 months clothes
You are very short for your age(at least you dont have your daddys height!)
You talk non stop, a lot of which I can't translate
Some favorite words include dadda, momma, up, help, light, oh uh, owe, dog, hi, baby....and many more which I am forgetting.
You go to bed very easily at 8pm
You usually don't wake before 8:30am
You take a solid 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon
You eat pretty much anything we do but kiwis are your favorite
You love when dadda gets home and will wait at the door calling his name
You love baby einstein movies
When you are hurting or need something you are a total mommys girl

I love the little girl you are at the exact moment. Here is your 18 month and 2 day pic.(Sorry a little distracted these days.)

Excuses Excuses

Ok so I have been a total lazy BUM!! This shows through my lack of blog updates, the fact my house looks like a bomb exploded in it, my lonely husband, and the large circles under my eyes. In fact, I'm pretty pathetic. I have absolutely no energy, I could sleep all day and I want to puke about 55% of the time. Don't worry....there's a very good explanation for all of this slothlike behavior:

Yep thats right!!Kinsey will be a big sister and we will add other baby to our family approximately February 10th, 2011.

I try to remember back to when I was pregnant with Kinsey and think that it is actually such a short tim in my life and that the ickyness of the first trimester will not last forever. Oh well.....put your big girl panties on and suck it up(this is what I keep telling myself!!!!!).

No no but really, I am so excited to meet this new little life and can't wait to make our little family of three a family of four. All of my friends who have more than one child tell me that you love the second one just at much as the first.  I am so excited for all of the changes that will be going on around here and more importantly I can't wait for my energy to return!

Celebrating another year

Today is our 3 year wedding anniversary! In many ways it seems like these last 3 years have flown by and in others it seems as if we have been married forever. I am so lucky to get to call Josh my husband. He treats me the same as when we started dating. He still spoils me and tries to sweep me off my feet. Josh is an amazing father and has the patience of a saint.

As we continue to grow in our marriage, I look forward to growing our family and the love we have for eachother. I am so blessed that God has brought you to me and I dont think I could possibly love you more. Thanks for everything you do and I love you so much muffin (He hates when I call him that :))!

Grass

Ahhhh the beautifulness of grass!! Our house is no longer surrounded by a dirt field.....instead we have luscious green grass. Two weeks ago Josh and some of our most awesome friends spent 4 hours laying sod. I, luckily, had to work that day. Sure was nice to leave looking at a brown pasture and come back to nice grass!!! Big shout out to all the guys that busted their booties helping us. We are really lucky to have dependable, hardworking and AWESOME friends.

This weekend I am going to break out my green thumb and plant some shrubs. Slowly but surely we will have a complete yard!!! Whoo Hoo!

Easter

Our family had such a great Easter. We spent the morning at church then had brunch with grandma and grandpa. The evening was spent with my side of the family and we whipped up some tasty fajitas!!
Kinsey absolutely HATED her dress at first. She was intent on ripping the bow off the front. She settled down after awhile and other than it slowing her down a bit on her climbing she tolerated it.
She scored BIG on the baskets and walked away with lots of clothes, sidewalk chalk, coloring books and colors, refrigerator letter magnets and bubbles!!!
God has blessed our family so much and HE IS RISEN!!!!!
