Busy Busy

This weekend was a fun filled one!  Friday night we did some shopping at the mall and a few odd stores.  Saturday we got paint for the babies room and went grocery shopping in the morning.  We had tickets to the ND game so we dropped Emma off at Ashleys and went to the game with my parents.  We had a good time, even though ND didnt play that great!  Our seats were awesome and we had a Joyce parking pass which made getting out super easy. 

Today Emma and I woke up Brian at 8:45 and talked him into painting the babies room!  He was planning on doing it Wednesday morning since he has the day off, but of course I couldnt wait!!  So we taped the baseboard, trim and ceiling.  I was able to help paint a little because the paint was the kind that had low fumes.  We put on one coat.  Emma and I than had to run to Meijers and Walmart to get Emma some black shoes for Chrissy's 2nd birthday party. 

We had a ton of fun at Chrissy's party where we ate good food and even better cake made by Rosanne!  The kids got to decorate cookies, pin the nose on Elmo and Elmo pinata.  Emma didnt take a nap and did really good thru it all!  Once home, Brian put another coat of paint on the walls, and I am loving it so far.  I was kinda leary at 1st on the color, but I think it will look great once the furniture is all up and the bedding is up as well.  Here are a few pics of the room so far with the comforter in it.

I LOVE GYMBOREE

I am defintely loving Gymboree this week.  I have shopped there 2 times this past week and have gotten so much stuff for such a cheap price.  Retail all the stuff I would have got was $486 and I only spent $109.  I also earned $50 in gymbucks that can be redemmed in January!
They have a sale going on right now that anything that is on sale is an extra 20% off.  I also had a 20% coupon that they took off after all their discounts I used over the weekend and I had a 15% coupon that I used tonight.  It was good because they had a ton of summer stuff that was already on a super good deal, so I was able to get Baby Caden a ton of summer stuff for $56!  He got 2 bathing suits and 1 swim long sleeved top.  6 summer outfits, a pair of sweat pants, a pair of shorts and a polo shirt, plus a long sleeved outfit for when he is 1st born!  Emma got 15 pairs of undies, 1 pair of shorts for next summer, a pair of jeans, and a long sleeved shirt and skirt outfit for next fall.  I am just super excited about it that I just had to blog about it!  And they usually have an awesome Thanksgiving Day sale that I hope to get more stuff at.  Saving money is the best!  Especially for all the boy stuff since I have no boy clothes!

ITS A BOY!!!

I went for my Big Ultrasound yesterday and we found out we are having a Baby Boy!!   Both Brian and I felt that we were having a boy and when we would ask Emma what we were having, she said brother, although she kept saying she wanted a sister!   We are very happy to have found out, he had his knees up for the whole appt.  The u/s tech took the prob off because she was done with everything but she said "Lets try one more time" and she was able to get him to move a little and gave us 99% sure its a boy!!  Everything else looked really good as well.  Its so cool to see the heart chambers and see the heart beating away, the spinal cord, and the sections of the brain.  Im 19 weeks 6 days today with a due date of 4-9-09.
So now the big dilemma is what to name Baby Bean!!  Brian and I can not agree on a name at all.  We had this same problem with Emma, we had her name but no boys names.  This time around we even had 2 girls names we both loved, but again, no boys names.  So we have at least 15-20 weeks to decide but it will be hard!  So name suggestions are greatly appriciated!
I have found he bedding we are going to get though!  Brian and I both love it!  We already have the furniture, we bought that a few weeks ago on an awesome sale at BRU and couldnt pass it up.  Its a honey pine color and looks so cute!

Indy Children's Museum

Last friday Brian had to go down to Indy for work to train a client, and since I dont work on fridays, Emma and I decided to tag along and spend the night!  We dropped Brian off at the clients and than went to Indy's Childrens Museum.  That place is the coolest place ever!  Emma loves going and playing there.  They have tons of fun stuff to do.

This is Emma playing with the food in the Eygpt Market.

Emma still in the Eygpt area

Emma as an Indy Car driver!







 

She loves to play in the water area.









She was able to get that thing moving all by herself.









After we spent a few hours there and ate lunch, we headed to the mall and got some Christmas shopping done with some good deals!  We picked Brian up at 5 and than had yummy PF Changs for dinner.  We also went swimming in the hotel pool.  Just had a nice relaxing night.  Saturday morning we checked out, hit a few stores and headed home.  Such a good weekend!

Im Pregnant Again!! (for the 5th time!)

So here I find myself almost in the middle of November pregnant yet again!! Although this time I am 19 weeks and seem to be doing great! I found out I was pregnant for the 5th time (including Emma) in August. I waited until I was about 8 weeks to even call the Dr. because if something would happen again, I didn't want to have to go thru everything again. I went to Vegas with 2 girlfriends and had an awesome weekend, although I was super tired when we got back! So at this point, 9 weeks into the pregnancy the only people that know are Ferris (dang her and just always knowing when i am prego!), Megan and Jenny. I couldn't even bring myself to tell my parents yet.

I finally tell my parents around 12 weeks. As excited as I am to be pregnant again, I just cant seem to get excited you know what I mean. I hate being so afraid that something is going to happen again. At 19 weeks into the pregnancy I don't like to talk about it too much because I'm still so nervous, I'm scared I'm gonna jinx it or something. The only people that know are my best friends, parents, his parents and sister and my brother and his girlfriend. I am sure these people have told people they know but I don't care because I'm not the one really talking about it! No one on my dads side knows yet, but I plan on telling them all at Thanksgiving. I have an ultrasound on the 16th so hopefully everything will be just fine and we will find out what we are having!

I have felt really good this whole time, other than 2-3 weeks of all day/night nauseous that really sucked, and some bad heart burn here and there. My awesome niece Ashley had a baby heartbeat doppler that I have borrowed so its great to be able to hear the babies hear beat when I'm feeling down. I had an u/s at 6 weeks and 11 weeks and everything seemed normal and good those 2 times, so that give me hope that this 19 week u/s will show the baby grown at the right pace and healthy!

Almost the end of 2009!

Well my 1st post was way back at the begining of the year, and now its almost the end of the year, guess I didnt do so hot in keeping it updated!

Tons has happened since that 1st post. I had a second miscarriage at the end of January at about 12 weeks. Unfortunatly I had a blighted ovum which means there was no baby, but my body still thought I was pregnant, my uterus still grew and my hormones thought i was pregnant too. It was so diffucult to have those few ultrasounds and see nothing on the screen, when there should have been a baby growing there.

In May I found out I was pregnant yet again, I guess Brian and I sure are fertile! Unfortunatly I had another misscarriage at about 5-6 weeks. This just doesnt get any easier the more you have. If i didnt already have my wonderful daughter Emma, Im not sure how I would have got thru this. I only told my parents and Ferris this time, which did help knowing that not too many people had to find out we had yet another misscarriage.
