Craziness!

I can't sleep.. Tomorrow is the baby shower and I'm so excited. I feel like a 10 year old before Christmas. Haha. I'm a dork I know right?
These last couple weeks have been crazy. We found out that Bryce DID have swine flu. So i'm really glad that we didn't see too many people when he was sick those few days. I'm pretty sure that I had it too, but I never had a test done so who really knows. They put Bryce on antibiotics and it seemed to clear him up really quick. Did I emphasize the clearing him out part? Yes, the pills gave him the worst diarrhia, excuse my spelling. Poor little boy.. He had the poops and the rash to go along with it. I felt so bad. I just kept saying, See honey this is why we need to get you potty trained.. UGH. Speaking of which.. I'm totally going into potty training boot camp with Bryce as soon as we get back to california next week. I'm really ready for him to be done with diapers... It's so frustrating. I have gotten a lot of really great advice from family and friends that have little boys and that have had the same problems i'm running into with bryce! we'll see!! I hope it works.. NO, IT BETTER WORK.. or he's going to be running around naked for like 3 weeks until he learns. haha.

Geez.. Carlos is training right now in New Mexico and that's been interesting. We hardly have talked and I am feeling dejavu from when he was deployed.. I know he's not which makes things easier but i'm just not dealing with the "no communication" deal. I hate it. He is literally on a totally opposite schedule then Bryce and I. Not to mention when we do have the chance to talk he's sidetracked with all of his coworkers and buddies or i'm sidetracked with family, friends, and or Bryce. Which Bryce alone is enough to keep an 8 month pregnant women plenty busy! haha

I'm 30 weeks 2 days now and time has really started to sneak up on me. I'm super relieved to be having the baby shower and figuring out what all we still may need for our precious little girl. I also feel like the walls are closing in on around me. I'm getting nervous about the delivery and i'm scared about leaving Bryce to have another baby. I feel like i'm leaving my baby for another baby, which is very overwhelming. We have great friends and my parents will hopefully be there in time for the delivery but still, it's super scary for me! I'm just excited, overwhelmed and tired all at once I guess!

We have decided on her name.. It's for sure going to be MaKenzee..
Carlos took a while to decide and agree that was her name! Which was a relief. I have been wanting MaKenzee for a long time it seems and now that it's official I feel like that Is a huge question mark answered! Yay!!

Our trip to idaho has been interesting. We found out that my brother Tyson and his wife are expecting another baby in February. This will be Ty's 3 and his and Britt's second. It was totally surprise since their daughter is just barely 7 months old now. The two babies will only be about 14 months apart. My brother is funny about the whole situation to say the least. If you know my brother you know what I mean when I say that! LOL I'm praying that everything will pan out and I know that everything happens for a reason. This is their second birth control baby. So I just told them that if they don't want anymore babies to stop doing the deed. My brother laughed and said ya right, i'm married to her i'm going to atleast have sex whenever I want. Hahaha. He's seriously thinking about getting clipped! which i'm not sure if they will even do that for such a young couple.. Who knows...=)

Well i'm sure jabbing away tonight huh? I can't sleep i'm telling you!

We are heading back to California... home sweet home... Early Wednesday, July 22... My birthday... My grandparents are driving Bryce and I and baby MaKenzee's stuff home.. with our doggies too.. Can't forget chula and Na-na!! But yes, i'm ready to go home and start getting baby stuff ready and clothes cleaned and really start my nesting.. I love nesting stage of pregnancy!! So.... i'm just excited to go home.!! i know it's super hot there. Hotter then Idaho.. but I'm just can't wait to be in my own bed again, and get my Bryce man back into a routine.. hehe

Well I pray everyone has a great weekend! I think I might be able to get some sleep now! Hehehe!

Busy Week

Well we are officially in Idaho and this last week has just been crazy. It's always crazy when we come here. I don't know why I always forget that. We are always trying to fit everyone in to be seen and running around with our heads cut off. I actually am getting really tired of it all. It's like everyone wants to see us but no one is willing to meet us somewhere We have to do all the driving. GRRRR.... Not to mention just trying to fit in all of the family is hard enough. Don't get me wrong, we love seeing everyone. But it's just stressful and Bryce and I have both been sick since we arrived. They even thought that it was swine flu when we took Bryce into the Emergency room. Scary, scary. We are both healing and feeling better each day but still. I have people upset with me for not making a BBQ for a birthday and we have family upset that we never saw before Carlos left today. Too much stress. Do people not realize that i'm 8 months pregnant and just drove 12 hours? I don't wanna be driving to every corner of Idaho.... Haha!
Well, on a lighter note. Our fourth of July was amazing!! we went with my family to a friends house out towards Wilder and it was so much fun. They had about 1200 worth of the big, loud, fireworks for the kids and a huge BBQ and it was just so amazing watching bryce seeing the fireworks so close and personal! he had a blast and made the whole hectic week worth it!
Carlos returned back to california this morning bright and early for his Training in New mexico next week and left Bryce and I here in Idaho Car Less... Eeek. But my mom is getting car again soon so it shouldnt be that bad. I am actually looking forward to telling some of the family that they have to come here to see us is they wanna visit. I'm tired of driving everywhere when we come here! haha.
I am feeling a lot more tired with this pregnancy. Im thankful for my mom. she is so great with bryce and helping me keep him entertained without straining my back and hurting my self. I am 28 weeks 5 days along and the baby is so active and healthy. I'm starting to dream about her almost everynight now. I dream of what she'll look like. But I mostly wonder how bryce will be with a new little sister in the house! He gets so excited around other little babies..!! He loves his cousin Kandace, which is my newest Niece from my brother. She is a little over 6 months and the first girl grandbaby on this side of the family. she's beautiful!
well wow,i'm sure rambling. I will prob be on more since i'm alone in Idaho and no carlos to cuddle with at bed time! hehe
Well hope everyone had a great holiday!!

Officially done.... For now!!

I am officially done with my college courses for now. I passed all of my finals with Flying colors. I got an A+ on my math and a B+ in my composition class! I ended with A's in both classes overall! What a relief! Now I can totally put all of my focus on Bryce and on getting ready for our next addition.. She is so spoiled already. We are headed to Idaho in 2 days for the baby shower and for one last quick trip before I'm due. We probably won't be able to make a trip back to idaho for a few months after she's born. Carlos is going to be using all of his remaining leave to be home with us after the baby is born. We are looking at him being home atleast 20 days after the birth. I'm so excited about it all!
No set name yet... but she is going to have an adorable name no matter which one we choose. I have my favorite and carlos is so undecided that i'm pretty sure i'll get what I want! haha. He got to name Bryce so why can't I name our daughter? Lol
well I will write soon!

Well It's that time again... time for the good ol' update.
We are in our new home! yay. It's amazing. Its 3 bedrooms, 2 bath. HUGE yard and sooo nice. I don't know what to do with all the extra space.
Bryce Loves it here!

We are planning his birthday party right now. And our baby shower in July when Bryce and I return back to idaho for a couple of weeks. It's been busy and so much work. Move. school. baby. bryce. what else do i need to say.

I am stopping school in two weeks and putting it on hold for a few months until our little girl is born. It can't deal with all of this and preparing for her arrival as well. I don't want my grades to suffer! haha.

Geez.. I am unpacking slowly. I was having a few contractions from over doing it so That has slowed me down a lot. I am blessed that this little girl is so easy with this pregnancy. I have had zero morning sickness, so much energy and i think that's why it's so easy for me to over do it at times. Its her way of warning me.. Stop it mom.. haha.

I have been so blessed with Carlos and that he has pretty much done all of the moving. I unpack and hang but he moves the boxes and he pretty much cleaned our old place all on his own, except I did do the Fridge and the tub cuz he wasn't going too! O and I vacuumed a little too! haha.. He is so amazing! and He's been great! Thank you Jesus. I was worried about the move and school work and I have managed to keep all A's! ASk me in two weeks how I do on my finals. that's the real questions! haha Just kidding.

whewwy! well, Talking about school work. I need to get some done while Bryce is asleep!

I'll try and post pictures and another blog later!!
much love!

..TIME...2...WAIT..

WELL IT HAS CAME THAT TIME THAT I FIGURED I SHOULD WRITE SOMETHING ON HERE. LOL
I HAVE A LITTLE LESS THEN TWO WEEKS BEFORE I FIND OUT WHAT WE'RE HAVING! AND THE TIME COULDN'T BE GOING ANY SLOWER.
I AM 15 WEEKS PREGNANT TODAY AND I CAN FEEL THE BABY MOVING ALREADY..
EVERYONE THINKS WE ARE HAVING GIRL AND I REALLY HOPE IT IS.. REALLY SO THAT WAY I CAN BE DONE WITH THIS BABY STUFF.. LOL THAT SOUNDS HORRIBLE BUT BRYCE IS STARTING HIS AGE 2 STUFF AND TO BE HONEST HE IS A GREAT LITTLE BOY AND LATELY ITS LIKE HE'S DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER THAT JUST ERKS ME.... I THINK IT'S MY HORMONES HONESTLY... BUT SERIOUSLY.. HAHAHA
I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS SECOND BABY THO.. I'M ANXIOUS AND SCARED BUT VERY EXCITED...
I'VE BEEN AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER THE LAST FEW WEEKS.. OKAY MONTHS.. MONEY IS TIGHT, LIKE IT IS FOR EVERYONE AND I'VE BEEN SUPER HOMESICK. MY PARENTS HAVE CAME TO US BUT I JUST AM LONGING FOR A TRIP BACK TO NAMPA. I WANT TO GO SHOPPING AND BE ABLE TO EAT AT ALL MY FAVORITE PLACES. I CAN'T DO THOSE THINGS HERE AND MOST OF ALL I JUST MISS MY FAM AND FRIENDS LIKE MAD CRAZY.. THIS HAS BEEN CAUSING TENSION BETWEEN CARLOS AND I.. HE CAN'T JUST LEAVE TO TAKE ME AND BRYCE AND HE REFUSES TO LET ME DRIVE ALONE BEING PREGNANT.. WELL HE CHANGED HIS MIND FINALLY BUT STILL IT'S BEEN INTERESTING AROUND HERE TO SAY THE LEAST..
WELL THINGS SHOULD START CALMING DOWN SOON.
I JOINED A CHURCH MOMMY GROUP AND THAT HAS BEEN AMAZING. VERY REJUVINATING AND EYE OPENING. THEY HAVE THEM COUNTRY WIDE.. CALLED MOPS.. MOTHERS OF PRESCHOOLERS. YOU CAN FIND THEM LOCALLY ON LINE.. THEY DO A LOT OF REALLY NEAT THINGS WITH THE CHILDREN AND THE MOTHERS AS WELL!!
WELL ITS LATE AND I HAVE AN EARLY START TOMORROW!
MUCH LOVE

12 Week Ultra sound!!!

We had our 12 week check up today and it went "amazing" to say the least! We totally LOVE our new doctor and the baby looks great!! "it" has a very strong heart beat of 176 beats per minute. Which is a lot faster then Bryce's was at only 142. Makes us wonder if it really is a girl!! hehehe, so exciting. We should be finding out what we are having either the next appointment in 4 to 6 weeks!!

Here is our first ultrasound picture. Bryce got to see his little baby and daddy was able to attend as well. It was super neat! it was just an amazing experience altogether. Which i needed after waiting so long to get into this new doctor!!

Getting into my second trimester I'm slowly getting my energy back and not feeling as sick. I havn't puked once yet, which has been quite a change from my pregnancy with Bryce. I was very sick in the beginning with him. This is a great change.

Bryce is sooo excited about being a big brother.. He points out babies everywhere we go. He loves hugging and kissing my belly and he really knows that this baby is going to be his! He says "mine baby?" its too cute!

WOW, Bryce is going to be 2 in May already! Geez.

O I have been super homesick for Idaho and will be planning a trip home very soon since i'm out of the danger zone in this pregnancy! Just a warning for all of you people in idaho that I love and miss dearly!

well gotta make dinner!
love you all!!

WOW....

Well the last month has been very interesting..
Chula had her puppies two weeks ago and that has been fun. I delivered 2 of the 4 puppies without carlos because he was at work. that was fun with bryce around let me tell ya! LOL

well, i have my doctors appointment this wednesday. I am 12 weeks 1 day along and I just wanna see our baby! I'm so anxious to know what we are having. We bought some new baby furniture with our tax refunds and that was exciting. We can't set up the baby room yet because we might be moving....

yep.. carlos finally got us on the base housing list.. Its still a long wait so i can't decide if i wanna set up the nursery here or just wait till we move. SO many choices to make! Grrr.

Bryce is almost 2 and i can't freakin believe it. He will be 2 in 2 months geez! they grow so fast. I wanna get pictures done of him when he turns two!

We are planning our first camping trip in end of April with my family. We are all meeting up in Nevada for a week! super excited.

Well this pregancy seems great compared to my pregnancy with bryce. I have hardly been sick and mainly I'm just tired. But now that i'm into my second trimister i can feel my energy returning!!

well gotta go!! i'll write again after my appointment
