Baby Shower, update
Thank you everyone who came! I really appreciate it and I got lots of wonderful and useful things. It's starting to get more surreal that I'm a soon to be mom of two and I'm not quite sure how this transition will go. I'm hoping as smoothly as possible. At this time I don't have any new pregnancy info, I have a doctor's appointment on the 17th so we will see what happens then. I will be at 36 weeks so it will be time for me to start keeping my hospital bag in the car with me. As far as I know everything is going well but with my high blood pressure I'm sure I will have to start getting my regular ultrasounds along with my weekly appointments for the last month. I'm so excited for Christmas and Zoo Lights. Nick and I are taking Reegan next weekend and I can't wait. She is so into lights and all she says is " Look, pretty lights" I hung some lights on the mantel and a lighted reindeer on the wall and she likes to go plug them in. .. I know, probably not the safest thing for our child to be doing but all of the other plus have fillers in them so its the only thing she can plug in. I think that's it for now. I will get some of the pictures up tomorrow hopefully if I remember to bring my camera to work as my Internet is off at home :(

I curse you contractions!
I have been having contractions all week so I FINALLY called my doctor yesterday and he told me to come in right away. I left work a little early and headed down to my appointment. After sitting in the waiting room for about 45 mins I finally got called back. The doctor, who seems to forget this is my 2nd pregnancy and he delivered Reegan went over all the generic pregnancy information. He said that if I start having more than 6-8 contractions in 1 hour then I'm in labor and need to get to the hospital.. He then proceeded to tell me that I'm not allowed to go into labor for 17 (well 16 today ) more days so that I will be at least 36 weeks. I was then checked and found that I'm not dilated at all which he said was good. After all the excitement of yesterday I'm pretty sure this kiddo is coming early, how early..... hard to say but I guess I will have to hold him in for at least 16 more days!
BTW.....Baby shower is this Saturday and I haven't gotten a whole lot of RSVP's so I'm not sure how much food I should be preparing.. Please let me know if you will be in attendance and also don't forget your diapers for the GRAND PRIZE DRAWING!!! See you Saturday!

Update-a-roonie / BABY SHOWER INFO!!
SOOO it's been awhile, I'm kind of a slacker what can I say. Things have been very hetic lately! I'm finding in increasingly difficult to get anything done around the house on the weekends. Being so pregnant already and caring for a 19 month old is exahusting! Nick has been hunting a lot so he is of no help to me. His last hunt is the first weekend in December and after that he is not allowed to go ANYWHERE!!! I told him that is too close to when little Colten will be here. Oh yeah, incase you don't have Facebook, we have decided to name our little boy, Colten Dewain Cloyd. The middle name is after Nick's Papa. Also the weekend of 12/5/09..... MY BABY SHOWER!
Invitations have been sent out so family you should be receiving yours, if you haven't it's probably because I didn't have your address so please see your respective mother or mother-in-law and they should have one. It will be at my house at 12 ( noon ) . Please let me know if you need the address. I have registered at Target, probably the biggest thing I need is infant clothes/ onesies. I have also a grand prize drawing that you can be entered by bringing in a package of diapers.
So far I'm just about 32 weeks and I have gained back 4 out of the 7 pounds that I lost. I go to the doctor's today and I KNOW that I have gained more weight. I'm going every 2 weeks and my blood pressure is already getting high. I have a feeling that I will not be making it my due date so maybe they will induce me in December! Reegan still doesn't really understand that she is going to be a big sister soon, but we are working with her so that it doesn't come to that big of a shock when this little boy doesn't go away. Reegan is SO stinking smart it's ridiculus. She knows how to count to 10 and can sing about half of her ABC's. She is also talking so much now and forming sentences already. One of her favorites is " Go away Bubba" ( talking to our dog) , or "That's Daddy's remote" What a kid. She has also started repeating things that we say, well mostly what I say. OOPS!!! Her big one is Shutup Bubba, when the dog barks. Everytime she says it I immediately have to tell her that we don't say that word and we say be quite.
As for the job, I applied for a new position as a trainer. I had my second round interview yesterday and I really hope I get the job. It will be a significant increase in pay which will definitely be nice since Nick's job is really slow now. I'm not sure what else I have but I will post pictures soon, I will have to have Nick take another side pic of my GI-normous belly, until then....

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.

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.
