Prego Pictures

I got Nick to take some pictures of me today. 20weeks and 3 days. I'm WAY bigger this time around than I was with Reegan.

New names..

Well I thought that we had names narrowed down to 2 but unfortunately people have been suggesting names that we both really like. So far we have: Landon, Braydon, Stetson ( my new favorite), Daniel and Deacon. I will be updating the Poll location on the right so make sure you all vote again. Keep in mind the middle name is going to be Dewain.

As for that I had a dr appointment yesterday ( just a regular checkup) and I've lost another pound. I'm down 7 lbs so far. This is not as drastic as it was with Reegan. I had lost 13 lbs in the first 6 months. What is different is that I'm able to eat ALL the time! Go figure. I made some banana bread last night and it was delishious and made my house smell wonderful. I brought 1 loaf to work and it was gone so fast. I offered it to one guy and he ate it before he made it back to his desk. Then he said " I hope this doesn't sound rude but I would like another piece" I gladly offered him another! That makes me feel nice knowing that my baking is yummy!

I think that was about all I had to share for right now.

IT'S A ............

BOY!!!!!

We are SOOOO excited and Nick is beyond thrilled! We have narrowed the names down to Landen and Braydon.

Long awaited post

Soooo much has been going on lately I almost don't know where to start. I will be 18 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I have my ultrasound scheduled for next Friday to determine what we are having. We are hoping for a boy but will be grateful for either. The pregnancy is going well for me. The morning sickness is slowly going away. I'm only having to take my nausea pills every other day which is really good for me.

Reegan is getting bigger every single day. She is constantly talking and saying words more and more. Some of her favorite words are: thank you, more, shoe, no, love you, eye, nose, bubba, duck, yeah, hi, hello, bye and I know there are more but those are the ones that are clear. Reegan knows how to sign more, please and drink and we are working on thank you. Reegan also knows where her nose and eyes are and she will point to them if you ask her. She has 6 teeth now and very slowly getting more. She is still the best sleeper in the world, going to bed at 7pm and she wakes up on the week ends at about 7-730am. We are trying to explain to Reegan that there is another baby on the way but she doesn't really understand yet. We are trying to get her to say different boy names to see which ones she likes or can even say. Out of the names we have picked out so far: Cooper, Colton, Braydon and Landon all she can say is Landon. I know I already have a cousin named Landon but Nick really likes that name. I've lost 6 pounds total which is not bad for me and my blood pressure has been really low so things are doing very well with that.

On a sad note Nick's grandma passed away about a month ago. It was VERY sudden. We actually had dinner with her the night before and was taken to the hospital at midnight. She later died at about 530am. This was about 7 months from the day Nick's grandpa passed. The family has been taking it very hard and there have been multiple fights about how to deal with everything. I think it's very sad that at a time like this it didn't bring the family closer together. Everyone is slowly starting to heal and when it gets a little cooler outside we will be going through all of her belongings in her storage. Nick's aunt has already asked everyone if I could have Grandma's sewing machine which I think is very special because I didn't expect anything. Sometimes when we go to Nick's aunt and uncles house ( where Grandma had been living ) Reegan will go down the hall towards Grandma's room looking for her. It's really sad to Nick and I that Reegan will not remember her Great Grandma. I'm just glad that we have pictures of them together and we will always remind Reegan of her GGMa.

I'm not sure what else to write about I don't really know of anything so until later when I post some of the pictures I have taken. You can see how crazy long and curly Reegan's hair is getting.

Names and more

Well I have decided that Nick and I are only going to pick out boy names...mostly because all we had was Reegan's name and then we had a girl. I guess I'm just trying to sway the final result a little in my favor! The names we have picked out so far are: Colton, Cooper and Brayden. We had Landen until I realized my cousins named their son that.. needless to say that is out. I think my favorite so far is Brayden. The middle name will be Dewain after Nick's grandpa who has passed away. We definitely miss him everyday and it was really hard for Nick. I will be glad if we are able to commemorate him a little in the process. We have a friend of the family who is physic and when she found out I was pregnant she said " oh Theresa is finally having her boy". I hope she's right..I will keep my fingers crossed.

Reegan is getting so big and talking more and more everyday. Her newest word and the one she uses most often is No. She doesn't use it if I ask her to do something yet but it would be if I say "Reegan do you want some milk?" No. Reegan do you want to eat. No. Everything is no. Kind of annoying but we are working with her saying yes. Reegan plays a game with her teacher at school. The teacher ( Sarah) will call out Reegans name " Reegan" ( she will kind of draw it out a little longer) and Reegan will reply "Sarah" Obviously her Aunt Sarah is very excited about this. Reegan has 4 teeth now and has some more that are about to pop through. Nick and I are hoping that she will finally have a mouth full by her 2nd birthday. Reegan also got her first haircut last Sunday. She did not enjoy it and cried almost the whole time. It was really sad to see some of her curls being cut off but her hair looks so much better. It was very uneven on the sides and now it's perfect. Nick really likes it too and says she looks like a little girl now (not that she didn't before but her hair was kind of out of control!)

Anywho I finished my first 2 classes and University of Phoenix and I got A's in both. I'm really excited and I'm almost half way done with my Associates Degree. If I stay on track I will be able to graduate by June 2010. I went to the doctor last Monday and when I got weighed they said I lost 4 pounds. I'm thinking cool, it's not like I don't have 4 pounds to loose and the nurse immediately said "Are you eating" I was like yeah. Then she asked me what was going on. I told her that I didn't know but that I am definitely eating. The baby is doing great and is right on track. I'm going in for an ultra sound on Monday and I hoping for a hint at the sex. I can't wait 5 more weeks to officially find out. Since this will be my last baby I am really hoping for a boy. Not that I wouldn't be excited for a girl, I just want a healthy baby. But I can hope! Last time I was pregnant I had 7 cousins who were also pregnant at the same time, all of us had girls except 2 who obviously had boys. This time I have 2 cousins pregnant with me and Erica found out she is having another girl and Amy will find out on Monday. I'm so excited for both of them. Erica is already a wonderful mom and I know that Amy will be too.

I don't think I have any more to talk about since I just rambled for every! I will post pictures soon

A little update

Well, I'm a little over 9 weeks pregnant now and the morning sickness is on a slow decline. Hopefully after the first trimester it will be completely gone. I go in for another ultrasound at 12 weeks and i'm hoping to get a hint at what they think the sex will be. I know that when I went in at 11 weeks with Reegan they thought it might be a girl, and they were correct. Nick can't believe it's already been over a month since we found out. This is definitely going to be a BIG change for us.

School is going well. This is my last week of classes and I have a 95% and a 96%. I can't wait to move one with new classes. These are kind of dull. It really amazes me how people in college write and spell. In fact it is really sad. I got an email from a student a couple of weeks ago and she spelled "what" wrong. It was spelled wat. At first I thought it was just a typo, no big deal, it happens to the best of us. However, further down in the email was the "wat" again spelled incorrectly. I'm really shocked that these are the people who want to be teachers and nurses. It makes me nervous for our future. The finance counselor that sits next to me works with students in the Elementary Education program. He told me about a month ago how he was on the phone with this lady and asked her why she wants to be a teacher. Apparently she went on and on about how she loves kids and working and teaching kids new things, then 2 seconds later she went off on her child. She started screaming on the phone at her kid. Doesn't hearing that make you want to home school?

Any way, Reegan got pictures done at school a couple of weeks ago so I thought I would post those. She is growing and learning so much. I can't believe she is going to be 14 months old. Time sure flys. Reegan has 4 teeth now. Her second top one broke through about a week ago. Hopefully by the time she is 2 she will have a mouthfull!

Morning Sickness....

Well I was hoping that this pregnancy was going to be different and hopefully I wasn't going to have any morning sickness. Well was I wrong. I have been really nauseous the past couple of days but nothing major. I could just eat it away. But yesterday afternoon when I got home from work I was really sick. I felt really bad for Reegan because Nick wasn't home and I was just laying on the couch while she played with her toys. Nick got home and took care of her and put her to bed while I went to sleep at 7 pm! I woke up this morning at 1am throwing up. It has been horrible. I was supposed to go to work today to make up some hours I missed on Monday but that didn't happen. Oh well. I have a dr appnt. on Tuesday so I will have him prescribe me some pills. It's a little rough taking care of a 1 year old when all I want to do is lay on the couch. I forgot how hard it is to be pregnant and how tired I become. Hopefully this doesnt last long.

On a positive note Reegan has been growing up so fast and she is learning so much. She can now blow kisses and she loves dancing and twirling in a circle. She has also learned how to kick her feet. She is so funny. I will say "Reegan kick your feet" and she will sit on the ground and start kicking. Then she laughs. She thinks it's fun when mommy kicks her feet too. Reegan has also start climbing and opening the drawers in the kitchen. This evening while I was cooking dinner Reegan opened the cabinet climbed in and was standing in with the pots and pans. Then she took out a pan and sat in it. Of course she got stuck and started crying and if Nick hadn't taken the camera with him I would have caught it on camera. So yeah, Nick went out of town early this morning. He went up north with his friend to go scouting for deer or whatever else they look for. He is supposed to be back on Monday. Reegan is also talking so much. Of course most of it is still nonsense but she is on her way to full sentences. Here is a list of words she says: Momma, Dadda, bubba, shoe, okay, yeah, yes and thank you. I think that's it. That's about it for now. I have to finish my homework it was due yesterday and I absolutely forgot about it. OOPS!
