Go to sleep…PLEASE! November 21, 2008

Kylie and I have developed a bad habit. She wakes up in the middle of the night , I go into her room and rock her in the chair and eventually we both fall asleep.  It’s the only time she will sit and cuddle with me so I don’t mind doing it. At Kylie’s last doc appointment the Peditrician told me that she needs to start soothing her self back to sleep. Last night was the first night of trying, she woke up around 2am. She bawled and bawled until Jonny went in and gave her a binki and Snowflake the Penguin.  Soon as he left the room she began to cry so hard, It was the saddest thing ever! I started crying but I didn’t give in, I turned the baby monitor off and shut our bedroom door. Three hours later she eventually gave up and fell asleep. YES!!! VICTORY!!

I’m still feeling guilty, and I’m definitely not looking forward to tonight, but I know this is the best thing for her.

Baby #2 November 14, 2008

I had my first ultrasound today.  There was a very strong heartbeat and the Doc confirmed that according to the size and heartbeat, I’m around 8 weeks pregnant.  Since there is a heartbeat detected, the percentage of having a miscarriage is 5% and when they can hear the heartbeat at 13 weeks, its drops to 2%.

HAWAII

We are going to Hawaii!  The first week in December, we are dropping Kylie off with grandparents and hopping on a 12 hour flight to Kauai Hawaii. The owners of Pointe have a time share that we are going to stay at… I’m super excited!! This will be my first BIG vacation and the first time to the ocean.

We weren’t going to go at first but air fare prices have dropped considerably and we actually have enough money in our budget,  the tickets are paid for so its a done deal.  There will be 3 other couples going with us (one of them being my brother and his wife) so we will have lots of fun activities to do.  My only fear is being on a plane for that long. I have really bad motion sickness and morning sickness, combined with a 12 hour flight, uhhh…I feel bad for everyone on that plane because there will be a lot of puking.

Family Photo November 7, 2008

We have started a new family tradition, taking family pictures every fall.  Thanks to my incredible mother-in-law we now have cute family photos that are worth framing. 

I’ve posted 2 pictures one of last year and one this year

Small baby

We took Kylie in to get her 12 month old checkup and vaccinations. I was floored when the Pediatrician told us that she has fallen below to the 5% for her weight and the 25% for her height. We were advised to start giving Kylie foods with lots and lots of calories. 

When we got home, I whipped up some scrambled eggs and peas covered in butter.  Kylie seemed really pleased and ate most of what was on her tray.

Sicky Sick November 6, 2008

I’ve been down and out with morning sickness these past couple of days.  When I was first pregnant with Kylie, I had morning sickness twice.  So far, this baby has surpassed that by 10x. 

Maybe I’m having a boy???

Happy Birthday Kylie girl!!! November 3, 2008

Kylie received her very own orange birthday cake! She didn’t want to touch it at first because it looked very poky. Eventually Daddy got her to dig in… its really cute (kinda long)

Halloween

I had a awesome birthday this Halloween. My husband bought me my food processor that I’ve been wanting for a couple of years (thanks sweetie) 

I felt sick for most of the day, I made many trips to the bathroom due to my wonderful morning sickness..yuck!   After many saltines and cups of coke later, I started to feel perky again.  Jonathan was at school for most of the afternoon and came home with supplies to make homemade sushi. This had become a tradition  for my birthday.  I actually enjoyed it though the thought of fish now makes my tummy really queasy.  My mom came by the house to hand out candy so we could take Kylie trick or treating.  There really is no point of taking a 1 year old trick or treating but we were in it for the free goods. Mommy and Daddy will be enjoying the fruits of Kylie’s labor for the next couple of weeks.

After making our rounds around the neighborhood, we came home and watched a really scary (PG-13) movie…I ended up crying because I was so frightened.  Jonny has now vowed to never watch a scary movie with me again while I’m pregnant, not to be mean but because I close my eyes and cover my ears and ask him to tell me in detail what is happening. It kind of ruins the movie watching experience for him.

My little lady Bug

Headed to the Ward Halloween Party

At the ward Party, everyone thought that Jonny really had piercings….

It’s official….sorta

We were suppose to be keeping it to ourselves for another 5 weeks but today at Kylie’s bday party, someone accidently spilled the beans about me being pregnant…he he

So yes…we are pregnant!!  I’m not offically celebrating until I get my second checkup to make sure everything is doing okay.  With having two miscarriages in a row, its a little hard to get excited over this when your not over the 12 week bump.

So please everyone cross your fingers and hope for the best… but we are not technically celebrating until 12 weeks.

thanks!
