Finally a Pregnancy Pic

SO I finally have a pregnancy pic it's 2 weeks old, but it will have to do. I am almost 32 weeks and almost done I can barely believe it! We are excited though for all that is to come.

Some more randomness from a 6 year old!

I had to put this on here, just another one of Stratton's funny comments and thougts. So tonight I went to the college to finish a research paper that was due this week, and I was there for a few hours typing my paper and decided to call Stratton and Joe and tell them goodnight before they went to sleep. This was mine and Stratton's conversation"

Mom: Hey Stratton how are you doing, are being good for dad?

Stratton: Yes, but dad won't let me do anything just lay down and go to sleep.

Mom: Oh, I am sorry.

Stratton: Yah, he just makes me rub his feet and get him everything. He thinks he is pregnant or something!


I of course start laughing and then I start thinking poor kid, I probably do the same to him!

More random pics and some fun stuff too!

Well I still haven't come around to putting up those pregnancy pics, I always say I will when I look really cute and done up! Who am I kidding pregnancy is not cute or at least feeling fat isn't but I will get one up sooner or later. I can't believe I only have 2 and half months left. And just to confirm, it is a boy and we finally agreed on a name, Peyton Grant. Stratton is so excited he can hardly stand it, he always asks me before bed to come lay by him so he can lay by the baby, it is so sweet. Stratton is doing good in school and has been seizure free for almost 6 months which is so awesome(knock on wood).Stratton is doing good he is so excited about Christmas, he gave me a letter a few weeks back to send to Santa, it was so funny I couldn't stop laughing this kid thinks of the funniest things here is how it went:

Dear Santa,

I am an elf and I belong at the North Pole, Please come and get me!
Love,
Stratton

He was 100% serious about being an elf and still asks everyday to take him to the North Pole. And of course to feed his imagination I bought him an elf hat that has ears on it, and I am making him a elf costume to his request with elf shoes, I will post pics when I finish. He already insists on wearing his elf hat to school everyday and I dont have the heart to say it looks silly and not to wear it. THat kid has the craziest imagination, I love it! Here are some more pics I promised from California that I took, not bad for my first time.

Finally an update with Pictures!

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated this thing, I have been super busy . Its kind of late but way back in August our little family went on a little vacation to Pismo Beach, San Luis Obisbo, Morrow Bay, Hearst Mansion, and back home in 3 days. It was so much fun to be by the ocean, it is so relaxing and it was perfect weather only 70 degrees compared to 90 back home in the middle of August. Our hotel was right on the beach so I got to enjoy morning walks on the beach with Joe, I know so romantic right and it was:). I have some pics but I am still waiting on the others I took with my dad's camera which was a super camera so I used him most of the trip. But here are some to get you by.














Aside from all of that fun and much needed vacation, I told you way back when I was 17 weeks(same when I found out with Stratton), they me told I was having a girl. Well I had another ultrasound at 20 weeks and found out we are having a boy! So I am going to have another ultrasound next week to make sure. So when I do I will post when I find out along with pregnancy pics per Kathy's request.

Update! (It's a good one)

Everyone has been asking me for an update so here it is! Yes, we moved back to Eagar and I am actually very happy about it. Joe's company ran out of work just like that and there was none around, so the short lived moved came to an end, and he is now doing plumbing in Eagar for himself and is really busy. I still know we were meant move there, and someday I will know why, and I also know we were meant to move back.

On to more exciting news, I am now 18 weeks pregnant and I am really excited about the new baby. Now I must confess I completely and totally cheated, I could not wait another minute, everyone who knows me knows I have absolutly no patience! Christmas for me is never a surprise I always cheat! I went to the hospital because at 18 weeks I am still throwing up a lot, and asked for an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok (well sort of). So I know I am a cheat and a liar(not about the throwing up part),so send me to jail,jk. So with all that drama I am now telling you I am having a............GIRL! Yay, exciting I will have one of each, Stratton is not too excited but I hope he can get used to the idea. We are moving into some duplex's in our ward tomorrow and I am so excited. So that's pretty much my life in a nutshell, thanks for listening. And if anyone has any cute girl names send them my way!

Back to Scool

So, Stratton started school on Wednesday and I know most rejoice this occasion, but I get really sad. Stratton on the other hand is such a big boy he loves school and has never cried when I drop him off, in fact he is already embarrased to kiss me goodbye, but I give him a big hug and kiss anyway!I love him being at home with me, we get to do so many fun things, art, crafts, swimming, hanging out, he is my little buddy. I am glad though that he gets to be in pre-1st it will be so good for him. He has a great teacher, good friends and I love his school. I am just a big baby, I guess I will have time to get ready for our new baby and for that I am excited. I would post pics of his first day except my camera is broken, I am sad I am glued to that thing so hopefully I will get a new one soon. He looked very handsome though!

Morning Sickness!!!

More like 24hr. sickness, don't get me wrong I am so grateful we are pregnant but even after 5+ years I still remember how much I hated morning sickness( I mean who likes it). With Stratton it was never this bad, the sickness only lasted a week maybe two and then *poof*, it was gone. I wake up sick, lay sick on the couch all day, anything I smell makes me sick no matter what it is! Then I may get a 30 min break where I start to think that I am feeling better and then BOOM, its here again. I wish it would just go away, I have tried everything!!! Ginger Ale, Crackers,toast, Nux Vomica(homeopathic), Vitamin B6, Sprite, and an herbal tincture my mom sent, and nothing relieves it long enough, if anyone has any advice of some kind of relief send it my way I would greatly appreciate it. :)
