LINCOLN IS HERE!!

My good, good friend C has Mr. Linc yesterday!! SUPER early in the morning -- so it feels like he's been here for days but he hasn't!! He is so, so precious!!! I'm very excited for her! :)





That's all I have. I'm just excited about Lincoln!! I can't wait to hear all the details of everything because it will give me more insight! :)

Okay, and here's a photo of me. I still feel chubby and not really preggers. I can't wait for the next couple weeks to come so the bump will become more baby like! :)

But there it is...16 weeks and still cooking!! God is So Good!!

I'm better! :)

Thanks for reading my rant on my last post! lol It's so funny - cuz I posted that on last Wed. and then Thursday and Friday were AMAZING days!! I felt good, I had energy!! I even came home from work and COOKED for my hubby!! :) It was great!!

Then, this weekend we tried no "magic pill" (zofran - I take one every evening which then helps with the morning and the next day) for the weekend. See how I was doing. Well, Saturday was great!! I was my normal good self! :) Then Sunday...I woke up...and I was sick! John finally convinced me to take a pill about 4:30 that afternoon....I was SO sick - I think I was awake a full 2 1/2 hours before 4:30 - lol - I slept a lot. :) Soooo...I'm back taking the magic pill! :) I'm too nervous to not take it for the school week! :)

It's so weird...I guess I should feel blessed that I have been sick....because that is the ONLY thing still making me think I'm pregnant! it's been almost 4 weeks since I got to see my little one! :) And I think I'm starting to show....but it's kinda like....hmmm...did she sit on the couch all summer and eat! or is she preggers!? lol - so it's not very obvious! I thought I would show so much faster! :) But that's okay. So I guess in a weird way I should be happy I'm sick! :)

OH! We agreed on a girl's name! We decided to keep our names secret - but it's cool how the name came about. I was driving to work and I heard on the radio a name. And I REALLY liked it! So, I went home and told John the name....he kinda thought about it (He REALLY was set on another name we had picked. But my problem was, the names we had picked previously feel weird to me now - because this is the FOURTH baby I have thought of with that name...and it just feels weird - so I've been looking for possible other names). So I said, lets look up what the name means. So I find it online - and it means "God has Responded"!!!! How AMAZING!! John was like - Okay! That's the name! lol - It's just so perfect for what we've been through!! So I guess now I do kinda hope it's a little girl because we have the perfect name already agreed upon! :) If it is a boy, that'll be great too - we'll just have some work to find a name! :)

Two of my good friends' due dates are QUICKLY approaching! I look at thier pictures and it's crazy how "big" they are. Big is a bad word - because it's all baby!! But I don't think I've seen many people in their 39th week!! Bless their hearts it has to be hard! But their babies should be here so soon!!!! :)

My dear Emma (our Goddaughter) is turning two in two days as well! :) Man, time flies! I was checking my facebook info and it seems I just changed it a bit ago - and it said Emma was 9 months and Bekkah 7! Now they're both almost 2 YEARS old!!! Crazy! Glad all these babies are being added to our lives!! :)

Alright, I'm going to get some dinner!! :)

Warning! Complaint Blog

I need an outlet to complain so here it goes!

I'm just so ready to be enjoying this pregnancy! Right now I am exhausted beyond belief (I heard that was supposed to get better in trimester 2 then worse again for teh third) WEll,l I'm in my second trimester and I can't seem to get enough sleep! I sleep MANY hours at night; yet after school today I was SO tired! Left school as soon as possible and just woke up from a nap!

I feel sick like most of the time! The mornings are bad, and right around 3 into the evening and through the night are bad! I thought that was supposed to get better with time too!!

I have awful heartburn ALREADY! I can't imagine what it will be like come my third trimester!! I guess I'm just not used to every having heartburn - but it hurts!

I feel fat. I know, I know, I'm supposed to grow. But right now everything is tight, therefore, everything feels gross! And I'm starting to look like....hmmm...she's getting a tummy! I can't wait for it to get bigger so it looks like a baby bump not just large!! I guess I'll need to go buy some new pants of sorts. But even the maternity skirt I wore today was snug. Granted, it can still stretch but I don't want to wear snug clothes! I don't even wear my comfy pants around the house anymore - cuz they're not comfy they're tight! blech!

John goes: at least you're pregnant! Which is true -- but Gee Whiz! I have to just keep my eye on the prize!!! Come on february!! lol

Alright, rant is over. I feel slightly better! :)

Life feels crazy! School is starting, August has already been busy for us, and we've announced our news! :) Life is really good! :)

So, last weekend we went to Tribune, KS (and Lamar, CO) for our Great friends Katie (Davis) and Jim Randolph's wedding ceremony! These are super important friends to us! Jim and John are best friends, and Katie was John were "brother and sister" through college. I also, was very close to both! I was Jim's "little sister that he never had and never really wanted" lol :) We love these two very dearly and we were thrilled to be able to be apart of their special day!


The HAPPY COUPLE walking out!

John and I! This is the only photo we got from the weekend!

John (Best man) and Jim! Stunning Men!

Alright, Pregnancy update. Everything is going great. We went for our 12 week checkup last Tuesday (we are 13 weeks today!) Everything went great at the checkup. I have gained 2 pounds in 12 weeks! lol - I kinda found that funny! So all was going great, and then the doctor pulled out the doppler to listen for the heartbeat, and she couldn't find it. So she told us not to worry sometimes this happens but she wanted us to get an ultrasound to be sure everything was good. As she left the room I tried to just keep it together and reassure myself, and John that all WAS okay!

So we went in for the ultrasound and the baby was immediately there! With a GREAT heartbeat!! :) The picture of our little 12 week baby is below!! :) We love him/her SO much already! :)

Other baby news! 1. John and I are getting another GodDAUGHTER! Amy and Dale are having a baby girl! :)

2. C is about to have Mr. L! So excited!! When I say about, Mr. L's due date is the 26th. but it could be any day! :)

3. K is about to have Miss E! She also could be any day....her due date is about a week 1/2 away to two weeks!

So many new joys in life!! Love it!! :)
