Happy Halloween

So instead of carving pumpkins, we well I should say Mikie painted my stomach like a pumpkin. I made him do it twice the top pumpkin is the one I made him do for me, since it would have been extremely hard for me to paint my own tummy, and the second one is his master piece of trystan in the pumpkin in my tummy! We are dorks but had fun doing it! Trystan liked the feel of the paint brush on my tummy and kicked me the whole time mikie was painting!!!!! Hope everyone has a happy and safe halloween!!!!!

The Life of a Stay at Home Pregnant Mommy!!!!!

So it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. Alot has happened in the last two weeks. My mom was here for a week and we had a baby shower on the 11th at my Grandparents house in St. George. It was a lot of fun and we got lots of fun things for our little monkey! Thank you so much to everyone who came. We so appreciate all your love and support! Thank you so, so much to my Aunt Margene and Wyndee for throwing such as sweet shower! We had a great turnout and the food was FABULOUS!After the shower my mom and I loaded up the car and headed for Mesquite where we met my mother in law and two sister in laws! We went to dinner, spent the night and had fabulous spa treatments in the morning. Now mind you I had a 90 minute facial that was heaven, but it was that morning that I realized I can no longer lay on my back for more than about 10 minutes before I start getting really hot and tingly all over like I am going to pass out! The lovely heating pad underneath me didn't help any either. So once I finally got over to one side a little but still turned so she could do the facial life was good. The little Monkey never quit moving the whole time I was there either. Poor kid was more than ready for breakfast! After our treatments we headed back to Vegas to get my mom on her flight back home! Mikie and I unpacked all of the stuff from the shower and Trystan is already in need of a bigger closet. I spent the next three days doing baby laundry! Including all of his bedding. So the room is ready for our little man's arrival

It took me three tries before I finally got the bumper pad up! It was a huge pain in the butt, but looks adorable! By Thursday I was having a hard time and feeling really blue! Pregnancy is so wierd. But I was pretty emotional and irritable and so tired of being in the house! I have a very sensitive husband who knows me pretty well and figured out quickley that it was time to get me out of the house for a while. So on Friday night we went to Kylie's Baseball game. On Saturday I decided I wanted to go up to Mount Charelston for a picnic where it would be nice and cool! We had a good time! and the weather was beautiful up there! After we got back we went shopping and ended up buying Rock Band for the Wii. Now I really suck at it, but am totally addicted to it! I am the little drummer girl (I have always wanted to play the drums) and Mikie is pretty good at the guitar and neither one of us should EVER sing! I called Mikie on Monday and told him I needed help I had been playing Rock Band for almost 5 hours and could not bring myself to do anything else. I had to force myself to finish a project I had started in September before I could spend anymore days playing the drums So on Tuesday I typed Recipes that I had taken from my mother in law all day! Tuesday night I watched my cousin Wyndee's little girl. She is so stinkin cute! We had a good time playing with the puppies, watching a movie and eating popcorn and pizza! She climbed in my dogs crate and locked herself in so the dogs couldn't get in there with her! Then when Mikie got home Brynlyn climbed on my lap and kept saying "I don't like Mike" She is such a funny kid. She has never really been around him, but she would talk to him and he would make her laugh then she would say "I don't like Mike." On Wednesday and Thursday I typed recipe's all day as well! I am finally done typing now I need to put our books together. I ended up with 267 recipes total! and I don't think I had even half of her recipes. LOL! Then today I went to the Dr. for an Ultrasound and everything looks great. Our little man is quite an acrobat! I am greatful that I have tons of fluid so I only feel him moving about 60% of the time, because he NEVER quits moving. He is weighing in at 2lbs 6 oz approximately and is starting to pack on some weight his little cheeks are filling out and he has a nice round tummy with short little legs! Poor kid doesn't stand a chance there. We all have short legs! He is definantly a thumb sucker too, wish us luck with breaking that habit!

Some of the shots of his hands and stuff look funny in these pictures! I promise they are totally normal, its just the way the Tech did the pictures. It has been a long two weeks, but we are doing great. I am 27weeks and 6 days prego today. I officially start my third trimester tomorrow! We have 9-12 weeks left! Pray they fly by for me!!!!!! Here is the newest Belly Shot! Sorry this post was so long! I will try to update more often if I can tear myself away from Rock Band!!!!!!

Our little Ninja Man

Tonight we had a 4d ultrasound of our little monkey and that he is! He was a little punk most of the time and kept his little hands in front of his face! It was still so much fun to watch him though and great to have our families present. This first picture was at the very beginning. He flashed us in the first 15 seconds of the ultrasound. He is very pround of his little boy parts. Wish us luck with keeping him in diapers! I think he is going to prefer the buff.


I love this one of his feet. Looks like he may luck out and not get my funky toes. Lucky kid! He likes to cross his little feet too! He looks pretty comfortable in there! The ultrasound Tech asked how long it had been since I had eaten. Trystan was sucking on his hands and she was telling us that even in utero when they are hungry they will exhibit the rooting reflex and start sucking on their hands. Poor baby! He's always hungry and makes mommy eat lots.
He's already practicing covering his ears so he can tell mommy and daddy "I can't hear You!"

He Truely is our little ninja man to, and boy am I ever starting to feel it. Looks like he was trying to wrap his foot right around his head The ultrasound tech said he still has lots of room to grow in there. I feel like he has filled the space all up and seriously can I really get bigger? I know the answer is yes and I will but I can't even comprehend at the moment!

I think he is going to be a thumb sucker as well. I'm hoping we can replace the thumb with a binki but we shall see.

At the end of the ultrasound he put his hands up and covered his entire face to let us know he was done, show was over, now take me home and feed me mommy!!!!! Thanks to all our family that was there tonight. It was fun to be able to share it with you! We are so excited for him to come. 100 days left, keep bakin' baby boy mommy and daddy love you!!!!!

New Belly Picture!!!!

I am 25 weeks and 3 days prego today! My tummy is only 2 inches smaller around the largest spot than my dad's tummy which makes it 38 inches! Little Trystan has been on the move quite a bit lately. In fact one morning he decided it was time to play at 4:45am. He would start on one side and work his way to the other side and back again. It didn't matter how I was laying I could not go back to sleep. I finally gave up at about 6:30 and just got up. Not to mention the fact that I was STARVING! Mikie came in the computer room about 7 and asked what I was doing, I told him I couldn't sleep, little ninja man thought he was in competition or something this morning. I finally went back to bed at 7:30 and the little monkey let me sleep for about an hour. It is so crazy to watch him move around and kick my stomach. I looks very alien like, but still entertaining to watch!

Congratulations Mom/Graduate Nurse

Last night was my mom's graduation from nursing school!!!! What an accomplishment that is! I am so proud of her. Nursing school is certainly not for the weak. I don't know who was more excited that she is done her or Mike and the girls. Little do they know it will take some readjusting getting used to having a mom and wife again!!!! Don't get to excited yet guys, she still has boards which she will rock the first time around I am certain!!! Sorry I wasn't there mom, but I am glad that three of your sisters were able to make it. We are so excited that you are coming out to spend a week with us. Congratulations again on a task well done! We love you!!!

Going back in Time!

So I found this on another blog and stole the idea. I thought it was cute and since I have so much time on my hands these days and it has been a couple of weeks since my last post, well you get it. The idea is to put yourself in yearbook photos from the 50's through the 90's. Do you think Mikie and I would have dated one another in years past?
