Last Ultrasound Pics

Here's the last ultrasound picture I had taken March 2nd. The baby was SO active...kicking and punching the whole time! Holy buckets, I can't imagine it being like that when I can actually feel it. Paul's been calling it Sugar Ray for now, but we need to come up with a girl boxer name instead...jeez what's he thinking? Hopefully at the end of the month, beginning of April we'll know what the baby is. HOPEFULLY! We actually call it "finding out what kind of puppy it is", since we're going to play around at my work (at the vet clinic) with the ultrasound machine and see what we can see. Then I'll go to a professional and make sure we know for sure! Until then, this is what I've got for looking at. I've still been really sick for the last few days, after a few weeks of feeling better. Now I have a head cold and a toothache on top of it. I'm telling you, this pregnancy has not been any form of fun yet! So let's hope for feeling better and PINK thoughts everyone, PINK thoughts!

We've been doing lots of tours!

First we toured the local bakery "Great Harvest Bread" where the kids learned all about wheat and what it's used for. Did you know it was used to make licorice? I didn't. Anyhow, they made their own loaf of cinnamon bread, rolling it out and putting it on the pan and all, then we came back 2 hours later to pick it up. It was such a yummy snack when Winston got home from school.

Next was our local Papa John's Pizza, where we made our own pizzas- they were huge (8 slices each)! Winston and I made our half and half and it sure turned out yummy. It was a great lunch to have before heading to school and daddy sure appreciated us bringing it to him for lunch too.

Catching Up- this ones from January

Here are some photos of Winston at his gymnastics competition he was in back in January called "The Rootbeer Cup" (note how high he was when he was hanging upside down on the rings-it'll scare the heck out of you!) He had a blast though and loves loves loves his medal he recieved for it.

New Addition Coming

Well, here's the announcement quite a few people have asked about over the years. We're expecting. I haven't made it through the first trimester yet, but I can't just keep it to myself this time. I get so busy in life and slip up in conversations and typing. I went to the doctor today and they predicted me to be 8 weeks and 4 days along as of today. This is putting me due Sept 9-12. I will be having a c-section again and it will be a week before those dates, of course we won't plan for that until it gets a little closer first. The baby's heartbeat was 171 today, in the ultrasound the baby is the little white spot on the small black area. Anyhow, THINK PINK people because I want this to be the last time I have to go through pregnancy!

Sunday Snowday (complete with a crappy football game)

Well, it was warm enough today we could go out and make a snowman and a snow-fort/igloo. We had a great time building and playing in the snow together today. We had a snowball fight, created 2 snowmen, and made our big snowdrift into an igloo for Winston. It is complete with a flag and all (the one they put in the yard when they fertilize it lol). Afterwards, we came inside for a while. Paul and Winston watched TV until the game came on, while I went to a party at a friends house for the new YOUR SHAPE Wii game(which turns out to be pretty awesome!). Afterwards, I came home and we finished out the game. What a lousy outcome- what the heck was Aaron Rogers doing at the end there kicking that ball on the way down? Cost us the game 100%!! Oh well, next year huh? Anyhow, here's some pics of our fun before the depressing game!

Christmas Program

Winston is still young enough for me to call it a Christmas Promgram and it not be "wrong" so I'm going to do it. For their program they showed us their skills they have learned in gymnastics, which they are learning things you don't normally do until 6 years of age at 3-4 years old. They are doing very well according to their gymnastics instructors, then they sang Silent Night along with the sign language they learned to it, Jingle Bells, and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Lastly, they all recieved certificates of achievement and were so proud of themselves. It was a full house there watching so the videos have lots of background noise on them as well. I think everyone brought their extended, extended family to it (brothers of half brother, your uncles mom, etc-lol), but it was nice to see the kids put on a good show like they did.
