Scared & Excited!

These days I can’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed. Nothing crazy is happening right now, but the moment I have this baby girl my whole entire life is going to change. (a little dramatic, of course!) If you know me at all you know that I don’t deal with change very well…bad or good! There are days that I worry all day long about how things are going to happen (labor & actually having a baby) and how are we going to make it after I stop working. When i start to budget I just start buying diapers. Poor Barb, if I ask her one more time how long Brooke was in Newborn diapers...she might scream. Jordan has been really great, and goes over "the plan" with me about every day!


This morning I was doing my hair and I saw Brynn’s room in the mirror behind me and I just got really excited & emotional! (At this point I get emotional about everything) But I am so excited to see what she looks like, to meet her, hold her and to be her mom! I don’t think anything can really prepare me for how much love I am going to have for this little lady!



But until then, we wait… and make cute onesies online. Like this one!

Oh, and I promise to post pictures of her nursery this week too...

34 days to go!

6 weeks to go...

Olden Days!

Can you say Mullet?

I called these "My Lambie Pajamies"

Barb, Rob & I

My dad took in stacks and stack of old negatives from our childhood days into Costco and they put them all on CD’s. I can’t wait to have all my childhood pictures at my fingertips to digital scrapbook, make prints & do pretty much whatever I want. Look how funny these pictures are!

Missing Vacation

Today I am working doing this....

Wishing I was back in St. George with this...

I just cant get enough of her! She is such a good little girl, and she makes me so excited for our little Brynn!

Our Baby Girl!

I went in for my Targeted Ultrasound yesterday. It was a 4-D Ultrasound that they do once during a pregnancy and a tech does it rather than my normal Doctor. When we walked in I told her that my little stinker (the baby, not Jord) wouldn’t let us verify the gender for the last two ultrasounds. But at 14 weeks we were told it was for sure a boy. The Tech was a very sarcastic lady and she kept telling me that if I didn’t know now the baby probably didn’t want me to know. I told her that was nice, but I REALLY wanted to know. She was measuring for 5-10 min before I was like, “Are you going to tell me?” Then finally she went between the legs and said what do you see?... ummm…I don’t know nothing?! She said Yep, that’s right you are having a GIRL! I couldn’t believe it. I had to ask her a few times, “Are you serious?” She said she is 100% positive it is a girl.

I can’t believe it! I am very excited for a girl; I have just been planning for the past 2 months that we were going to have a little Jord running around. Crazy!! I think only things like this happen to me, it has to be as dramatic as possible! So back to square one on names, clothes, the nursery! Good thing I don’t have to start over on the countdown!

P.S. Happy Birthday to Barb! Happy Golden Birthday!

Barb has a Blog!

I am so excited; my sister Barb finally has a blog! It’s private, so if you want to be added, leave you email address with me. Then you too can see this adorable little girl grow up too! I just cannot get enough of her.

Stinkin' Baby!

Well, I really wouldn’t say that it is funny. But everyone I tell seems to think so. So as you have probably already read, we found out that we were having a boy pretty early, 14 weeks. At this Dr. Appointment she was so so so sure. So we went shopping, always with the thought in my mind… Maybe we should wait till she confirms it a second time. But that didn’t stop me, we have a crib, changing table, a rocker, baby clothes with tags (thanks to the 70% off sales at Smiths Marketplace, Costco & TJ Maxx) Oh, yeah and we have a name too.

Well two weeks ago (18 weeks), I went into the doctor to have my normal monthly ultrasound. Well Baby Nicholls, was head down and soooo sleepy and would not change his position. She tried and tried but could never see if he was a boy or a girl. She kept asking me, so was I really sure last time. I was like “YES, you were positive!” Ends up because of the babies position she couldn’t see whether it was a boy or girl. I was frustrated. She told us to come back in 2 weeks and to drink something with sugar in it before we came in and we would try again. She felt bad for me…

2 weeks later… Today we went back to the doctor, sugary drink in my system. And my little stinker had his legs crossed, up to “his” chest with the cord though the legs! Seriously, things like this only happen to me. She tried and tried and could never see the baby’s gender. I know I should just be thankful that the baby is healthy and growing right on schedule. But I can’t help but be frustrated because I am half way through this pregnancy and I should know what I am having.

I would be happy with either, boy or girl! If it’s a girl, I just hope she likes her cute sports bedding in the nursery!
