My goodness

I should have updated this on Wednesday after my doctors appointment but I haven't been feeling too great lately. This nausea is getting more frequent. Still no throwing up *fingers crossed*!! 

My appointment went wonderfully! Baby is measuring great. I could see the little leg and arm buds moving around. The heart rate was 158 beats per minute. Good strong heartbeat. 

Head is on the bottom and 'rump' is at the top. The white dot on the left is an arm nub! So now I am counting down until we find out the gender. 9-1/2 weeks! 

I've been attacked a lot the past week or two about my beliefs! Like I told my friends, I must be doing something right. I just sorta chuckle because what is being said to me isn't at all how I am. But you can't please everyone and I do not try too! 

Short update tonight, still not feeling too great. :( I'm ready for this part of pregnancy to be over. It is my least favorite.

One eventful weekend!

I can't believe half the stuff that went down this weekend. Completely ridiculous! 

Weston had his first Father's Day! He says it was amazing but we didn't do much. I was so exhausted and nauseous. I was kinda in a blah mood all day. Raven and I made him a picture on Saturday and I could not wait till Sunday morning to give it to him. I gave it to him that night. Here is a cellphone picture of it. 

His feet are a heart! He held the pen while I helped it write. Weston was really blown away and he said we have to get it framed. He really is such an awesome daddy. He does so much for us, more than he realizes I believe. I would not be able to do this without him. Even now, with this pregnancy, he is being a real help! He lets me take naps when I need to. Which I think is about every day! I could sleep for days. 

Two more days till we get to go to the doctor and see this little baby for the first time. I have to say that I am really nervous. I am expecting bad news. Bad news can include a lot of things. I'm worried they are going to say the baby is measuring smaller than 8 weeks. Or that there is no heartbeat. Or that there are twins! I don't want twins! I can't handle twins. I can sometimes not even handle the one I have! That's a lie. He is a breeze. He really is the perfect baby, but I digress.  I'm just being a typical woman and being a complete worry wart. I can't help that though, that is how I am programmed. 

Tomorrow I get to hang out with a couple of my Cafemom mommies! I'm really excited but I wish my bestie Meredith could be there. =[ Stupid 4 hour distance. 

Oh well though. I think this is it for now. Raven is yelling at me. Not in a cute way either!

Photographers

This might offend some... but oh well.
It really seems like everyone and their mom is a photographer these days. No offense to my sister and mom who are REAL photographers. LOL. I guess people these days think that if they own a camera, they are photographers and that they could probably make a living off of it. I've been around photography my whole life, and I've learned from the best. Do I claim to be a photographer? No. I consider it a hobby of mine. It just bothers me when people post these pictures and the lighting is horrible or they just aren't even good pictures to begin with. Raven could probably take better pictures and he's a baby!

I'm just venting I guess. It just irritates me.

On a positive note- the air conditioner is about to be cut back on!!!!

Busy Busy

There are babies being born everywhere!! It's really exciting especially since we are gearing up for our next little bundle of joy. Raven's Godparents had their son, Shiloh Evan Sanders, June 3rd! I held him this past Sunday, and oh my goodness he is SO little. I swear he could fit in both my hands. He still curls up in the fetal position. He has the perfect little nose. Him and Raven are going to be great friends, I just know it! Friday night we are going over there for dinner. Weston hasn't met him yet. We usually don't have Raven on Friday nights but we will this Friday and I know Nick and Elizabeth are excited to see him.

Last night, my niece Rhiannon, had her son! He was born at 8:45 and weighs 10 pounds, 4 ounces! I couldn't imagine! But I heard she did great! She works at labor and delivery so she got 5 star treatment, I'm sure. I think we are going later today to meet him. She sent me a picture and goodness, he is a perfect mix of her and Brandon.

Next Wednesday, Weston and I get to see our new one. People keep saying we are having twins. I really don't think so. I am showing so soon and so fast because I JUST had Raven 5 months ago. You would think people would realize, oh hey she did just have a baby. And they do say that you show faster with the second one! Well, I am showing real fast! I really am like 90% sure we are not having twins. I am really excited to see this baby! For peace of mind and just the excitement of having another one. It will make August come quicker because that is when we will find out the gender! Chinese charts say girl! We shall see. We will be completely in Heaven if it's a girl.  I really feel like our family will be complete.

I will say that so far, this pregnancy is way different than Raven's. I am not as sick, I have not thrown up ANY (crosses fingers that I don't), my boobs aren't killing me.  I dunno, I just feel different. I can tell you this, I like it. Haha. I am just really thankful that God is blessing us with another child. And that this pregnancy so far is really easy. I couldn't imagine if I was sick like I was with Raven. I wouldn't be able to do anything!

We are getting a new air conditioner. The guys are here right now installing it. It's huge.  They had to take it apart just to get it in the attic. The downside, they probably won't get it up and running until tomorrow. But actually it isn't to hot in the house yet. We have a mini air conditioner and the ceiling fan one. I hope this one works because we will be in for a miserable summer. I mean our old one worked, but the unit was too small to cool the house. This one is like 2 times bigger than our old one. Weston is going to put up the pool this weekend too! I am excited! Raven loves the water and it will be nice to finally get some pictures of him in the pool!

Until next time though!

Common Introductory

     This is my first adventure into blogging. A little late I know. I don't keep up with the times. I mean, let's be serious, we just got a wireless connection today. I don't honestly believe that our life is that interesting to blog about... but it's just another something to pass the time. I enjoy reading other people's blogs so why not do it myself.

     Weston and I met in May of 2007.  We have been inseperable since our very first date. We took the plunge and got married on Halloween of 2008. Yeah, we are those people. HA! Anyways, our story of coming to Christ is very messy. I won't go into all of that today. Let's just say we were completely broken and he picked us back up, dusted us off, and sent us on our way. On HIS path. Very different from our path to destruction. Dun, dun, dunnnn. Just two weeks of coming to Christ, we were blessed with our very first positive pregnancy test. Mr. Edward Raven was born on January 14th, 2011. Let me tell you, being a parent is HARD! You would think it's all unicorns and glitter but at first, it's rough. That being said, we decided to have another one! Currently, I am 6 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Due January 31st, 2011. How awesome is that?? So far, this pregnancy is easier than my first. Easier as in I'm not puking my brains out every two minutes.

     We are your typical family I assume. We have two cats, two dogs, and two snakes. Remember? We're those people.

     Long story short, this is my time passer. Read it, love it, hate it. Don't care. You'll probably get sick of looking at pictures of my gorgeous son anyways.

     Whatever. How could you get tired of that face? I sure as heck don't!
