18 weeks & catching up!

Haven't been on in quite awhile! Yesterday was my first day @ 18 weeks! I am finally over the nausea, and slowly gaining some weight! I lost 13 pounds and have gained back 2! Yayyyyy, haha. I have been busy hanging out with my Grandma and making my Christmas Cards! Ill post pictures of those bad boys later! My Grandma is in town from Kennewick, WA. She comes down once a year for about a month for Thanksgiving or Christmas! I gotta soak in my yearly time with her! Today she is staying with my sister, so I have some extra time! : )

We find out what we are having on Monday the 23rd. We are so anxious/excited!! I think its a boy.. but my family swears its a girl. They are going to be surprised when its a lil man. Haha. A couple days ago I felt the baby for the first time! It is the craziest feeling. I actually got scared and jumped the first time it popped me in the belly, haha. Now, I wait for those little pops & flutters all day just so I know my little bun is doing okay! : ) Cody has warmed up to me now that Im starting to show and the baby is starting to move. I swear he is just like his dad, he thinks its "alienish" that I have a baby inside me. Its quite hilarious the things he thinks and says. A baby is definitely a new and different experience for him. (Ive been around them with my 3 sisters since i was 9, baby shmayby.) Just glad this one is mine : )

So once I find out what we are having I want to start a project. I want to make the baby some cute baby blankets. I have no idea where to start, but with the help of google and Joann's I'm sure I can figure it out...hopefully.

We have a busy month coming up! Jaydens Birthday party, my doc appt, Thanksgiving, BLACK FRIDAY ( yes!) , Open house (FIERCE), our first competition, thoroughbred, Christmas cookies, Legend in Vegas, Christmas Eve & Christmas! Ah, this is the BEST time of year! I love it. Im so glad we got our tree up 2 weeks ago : ) I can come home after shopping , wrap the presents right away and get the under the tree for as long as possible! I wish it was the Holiday season all year long!

Well I think Ive caught up enough for now, Ill be back Sooner than later !
