A photo of me pregnant

I finally had a photo of me taken that looks okay to show everyone. John quickly took this photo too before my parents realized they would be in the same photo!!

Well we have one birthday down! We have John and Payton's to go, and then baby Hailey's BirthDay!! We also have my brothers, mom's, niece Andrea's and sister Abby's to celebrate too!! WHooh!! That's alot of birthdays all within about a month or so of one another!!
It will help that last month or so of my pregnancy go by faster, sometimes I am not too sure that I am ready for it to go that quickly. I still feel like I have alot to get ready before she gets here. Getting the house as organized as I can, before I have 3 little ones here!
Our little one will be here before I know it!! I'm ready.....I think !!!!!

Birthday photos

Here is a photo of Kaitlynn and her Grandpa and Grandma. ( John quickly took this photo before they realized!!) I think it is probably the only photo of the 3 of them together!!!

Kaitlynn's 4th Birthday!!!!

Well here is the BIG Birthday girl!! She has been looking forward to turning 4!!! It makes me excited and sad at the same time. They grow sooo fast. I know I say this all the time, but it continues to amaze me at how quickly they grow. (and how quickly it makes me age too!! :))

my results

I had my doc appointment on Monday, the results where in...... no gest. diabetes!!!! yeah!!!! While waiting for the results to come back, I found myself really wanting things with sugar!! I guess just thinking about having someone tell me no, made me want it more. I am just very thankful that I do not have to go on a limited diet. Not sure of how I would make it through. We have ALOT of birthdays coming up!! I will be posting birthday photos for Kaitlynn shortly!

Just an update

Not too much is going on in our household. Everyone has been healthy this month. Last month (Feb) everyone seemed to be sick throughout the entire month!!! That was a bit overwhelming at times.
Payton had an accident this last weekend and took a big bite out of her tongue!! I guess the back of her sister's head is VERY hard!!! I was soo scared! It is hard to see your little one bleed so much! There was a blessing in disguise though, she no longer has a pacifier!!! Yeah, for that!!! She was soo easy going, asked maybe twice for it and we told her it was gone, and she just looked at us for a minute and then went on about her business! No big deal. She has gotten soo big these last few weeks. Payton is talking soo much too. Always trying to keep up with her big sister!!
Kaitlynn is growing just as fast. She is such a loving big sister and is excited for the new baby. She always hugs my belly and keeps asking "How big is you tummy going to get....this big?!" as she stands a few feet from my belly!! Then we laugh and say we hope not!!! She is always talking about going to school!! So I am in the process of looking for a preschool in the Auburn area for this coming fall!! She is very excited about it. And I am starting to think about how fast time goes by when you have little ones!!!
My littlest one, is growing as well, me along with her!!! Thankgoodness this time around (at least so far) most of the growing has been with my belly and not the rest of me!! As I say this, I know that I have about a month and a half left and alot can happen between now and the beginning of May!!! On another note. I am going in tomorrow for my second glucose test!!! This one is the 3 hour testing! I am a bit nervous about it, not really looking forward to not eating for that long. The 12 hour fasting before (that is done in my sleep, no problem there), and not being able to eat until the testing is finished. So I may not be able to eat until around lunchtime!! I wake up hungry in the mornings so I am not looking forward to it, except for finding out the results. Hopefully the results will be fine!!
That is about it for now, I will post some photos of the girls soon. We will be having Kailtynn's 4th birthday this coming weekend, so I should have some new photos then.

Here are some photos of the girls

My little Payton, she is such a ham sometimes. Always making us laugh!!

And my sweet Kaitlynn, she is getting too big too fast!! Almost 4 years old!! I can't believe how quickly time goes by!!!!

Its.......a Girl!!!!!

Well, we finally got our power back!!! We lost it Thursday evening around 5:45pm and it came back Wednesday around 2 in the afternoon. I am sooo thankful of power!! I finally got a chance to vaccuum!! Funny how I ended up missing doing laundry and dishes and vaccuuming! Things I usually feel are such a chore to do. I appreciate being able to do these things now!!
We tried our best to tough it out.... it just got too cold. So we ended up staying over at John's Mom's house! Lots of fun! The girls got to play with cousins day and night!! Most all of the family was without power too. Sooo glad to be home though.

And yes, on Friday we found out we are having baby girl #3!!! We are not sure of a name yet. I am open for suggestions though!! :) We are very excited to meet this little one! The pregnancy is going really great too. Just get a little tired from time to time! I think it is alot more relaxing, now that I know more of what to expect!
I will post pictures of the girls soon too!! Take care

just a quick update

Hello, to all, not too sure if anyone is even checking in here at all. I am not the best at writing and keeping things like this updated, but am trying that is why I haven't totally abandoned this. I must admit, I do enjoy reading and being updated on others lives!! I don't know about everyone, but I sometimes feel that my life hasn't had much excitement going on. And therefor nothing to really write about!!
Other than having two girls of my own and another on the way, I feel my life is pretty typical. But then again...maybe not! Anyway..........
We are going to the doctors on the 15th of this month and will be finding out what we are having!!! I am very excited, I don't have a "mothers intuition" on what our baby will be. I am just really looking forward to planning for my third and last baby. Kaitlynn is excited and wants another sister and wants to name her 'Sally'. Not too sure of where she got that name. :) Payton will rub my tummy and say, 'love baby' and give kisses.
Hopefully the next time I blog, will be alot sooner than later!!

It hasn't been that long....has it:)

Not too sure if anyone looks here anymore. But, just in case we are all still here and doing well. We have had a busy summer, we planned our wedding and said our 'Do's' on August 12th!! And to top it all off, we are now about 2 months pregnant!! I guess we decided to gift ourselves!!! This baby will be our last addition to our family!! We are very excited!! I know I will have my hands full for a while. Each of our children will be barely over two years apart! Another round of double diaper duty for a few months, maybe. All will be soo worth it.
Well, I will be adding some photos here as well, I do have a my space as well, I need to relearn how to link everything back onto here!! Take care for now. I hope it won't be too long till the next blogging!!!

Its been a long time.......

Well...It has been a LONG time since I have posted anything here!! I think I probably lost visitors to this.. :) Well, Payton is now walking!!! We are very impressed by her, she started walking a few days after she turned 9 months!! Yes....that is right 9 months. You know with your second baby you want everything and all the major moments in your baby's life to go by very slowly!! But, I guess that just does not happen. She has been wanting so much, to keep up with her big sister!! And now she thinks that she can.
Kaitlynn is for ever growing up too! She talks all the time!! And has such a dramatic personality. She loves to dance! So John and I are going to be putting her into some dance classes very soon. We will be celebrating her 3rd birthday very soon too!!! I can't believe that I will be a Mommy to a 3 year old soon! It goes by soo fast.
What an incredible experience it is to be a parent. I sometimes think too much about it and feel very overwhelmed by the whole thing(can I do it, I hope my children won't need too much counseling!(jk)).......Do any of you ever feel this way, or is it just me? Please let me know your take on this.

On another note, and keeping all updated in other parts of our lives...As a whole we are doing great!! We are STILL in the beginning stages of planning our wedding. I think it will be a very relaxed, not too done up family wedding. We do know that we are going to have the celebration at my uncle and aunts home in Woodinville. So that is about where we are with that... Oh, its in August as well!!! Yeah...better get planning huh!:)
My business with Mary Kay is going well. I enjoy trying to get out of my comfort zone. And try is the key word there!! Is anyone else out there growing their own home based business's out there? If you are let me know..
I will be posting some pics soon!! Have a wonderful day/week/month...Bye

It's been a while

Well it has been a long time since I have blogged. Just to let you all know, Payton is now crawling!!! She is growing way too fast. She is now 6 1/2 months. And Kaitlynn is doing great too. She is growing and talking soo much now. We can actually have some great conversations.
I have not blogged too much lately because...I have started my own business in Mary Kay!! It is alot of fun. I have had two classes so far. Alot of learning and getting out of my comfort zone!! And let me tell you,....my comfort zone is in my house and in sweats! I now have a chance to dress up, actually put on makeup and have some adult conversation. It is awesome. But, believe me, it is not too easy to get up in front of people and hopefully soon people I don't know and talk about skin care. But it feels great to watch womens faces light up and have fun together.
With that said. I am looking for some women with skin to practice on. If you are at all interested please let me know!! It can be alot of fun.
Take care everyone!
