it has been a few days since i have actually updated my blog. last week was a very rough week for me. i had nightmare after nightmare and thoughts i could not get out of my head. i don't know if it was because i was anxious of my doctors appointment that was coming up or what but anyways .. alot has happened since then.
just some fun times with Garrett. he is always up for taking pics.
this is at the creek we went to last sunday. just needed to get away. we had a great time. the boys loved it until noah found a leech on his shorts. then his disrobed and walked around the rest of the time with a towel.
having fun with his clothes on. (before leech)
Garrett and I at the creek.
just chilling outside watching the boys chopped down our trees. he wanted me to take some pics of him and this is what i get. look at that nose. :)
this is garrett and his friend next door showing off their caterpillar. how cute.
mom is actually modeling sun glasses that my dad bought. yes, i said dad. he was checking out at walmart and realized he needed some. so this is what he ends up with. of course she took them back and bought him a more manly pair.
this is the bypass dog. he is always on the corner at the bypass in town. such a cute dog. we try to take him some food once in awhile. the other day when we passed they set out a dog trap trying to catch him so the kids were upset because we didnt see him for a couple of days. but he is back. we got to see him yesterday when we voted.
monday was my 29th birthday. this is what i woke up to. confetti, balloons and candy on the front porch. such a nice surprise. until the rain started and the stars stuck to everyone. but the boys swept them up no problem.
here is my cake garrett picked out for me. we had the family over and one of my friends and her kids over for a little bbq. it was nice besides the fact that i knew i was going to the doctor the next day and i think my nerves set in. so after a few tears i enjoyed some good food and cake. (bella is sitting in my lap because she is trying to get the icing)
and then the biggest news of all....i had to be at the doctor at 8 a.m. for my 21 week checkup and possibly a sonogram telling us the sex. i woke up at 3 am and could not go back to sleep so i worked for a few hours then went to bed around five. finally i get up and get ready. noah went with me because he was alittle worried about the way i was feeling. the drive there is only about 7 minutes but it seemed like forever for us to get there. i was so nervous..my blood pressure was good but my pulse was around 120. :) i explained i was alittle nervous. after that i have a seat back in the lobby just for them to call my name about 5 minutes later. there she was the sonogram tech. here we go. as i was going all the nurses were like what to you want it to be. i told them anything but a dog. they laughed and said that i didnt have to worry. (by the way i did dream i had a dog. very real. everyone was there and dr daniels laid her on my chest and she was a black and white mut. not even a cute dog. i told them to get her to the kennel cause i didnt want her. eric kept saying everything will be ok .. they named her pony tail. so as you can see it has been a joke now) anyways while i am laying there and she is taking all the measurement i am trying to keep my cool. she cuts the screen on and starts to show me the head, arm, back, legs, feet and then she types in i'm a girl. a tears rolls down my cheek but i was so excited i just shook. after that dr. daniels explained to me that everything was ok, all test results were negative and to be thinking about my labor options. so what a great doctors appointment. now..planning time. i did not want to come home and tell everyone we were having a girl. instead i sent out an update telling everyone everything was ok and that we were adding another little boy to our group. all the emails and phone calls came in. oh we are so excited, another little boy will just fit in fine. mom tried to convince me that Cason was a great name and we would love him no matter what. i would have been fine with a boy but having a girl is just something we needed to experience. and i am glad it is that time. anyways. i let everyone tell people it was a boy and spread the word and then i sent another email out. first of all .. i asked for forgiveness. :) and then proceeded to tell everyone that we were actually having a little girl. and that he said she already weighed a pound and looked great. oh...then the phone calls and emails came in. tears, tears and more tears. telling me i was a mean person. not mean..how fun is it to say hey we are having a girl. nope...had to put a spin on it. everyone is joyed but didnt like the way i did it. i loved it and will never forget it.
this is me in the middle of it all. do i look evil? nope just happy.
this is AraBelles first picture. isnt she a cutie.
well, since it was a girl i told mom i was heading to target to by AraBelle an outfit since we actually know it is a girl. this is what we made it home with. a little outfit that says apple of my eye, a daddy rock onesis, two little sleepers from grammy and a baby doll from grammy. (these were the first things that we actually bought for miss AraBelle) it was fun. cant wait to shop some more for her. pink ...wow never thought i would see those day.
i guess that will be all for now. just keep me, my family, and little AraBelle in your prayers. (sorry is this is kinda mixed up and long. needed to update alot so it probably does not make much sense)
