So guess what?...

I'm Pregnant!!


It has been such a roller coaster of different emotions but we're finally "adding" a new one to our family and are very thrilled!



We actually started thinking about having another baby soon after we moved into our new house. It was the hot topic of many conversations and we finally moved into action about April of 2010. After what I thought was forever (cause to be honest when you decide to get pregnant you want it to happen like, NOW.), really only 4-5 months, we were pregnant! It was end of August if I remember correct.


It was exciting but also the "Are we sure?" feeling came over me. We hit some really rough patches during this same time and I was nervous about everything that was happening in my life. Including the baby. After a couple of months of carrying the little one Heavenly Father decided that was it. According to my doctor the pregnancy wasn't normal to begin with and so my body started to reject it. I was absolutely crushed and had many nights where I cried silently to myself. After everything that I was going through I started to feel selfish. I put it all in the Lord's hands and thought I know it will happen when the time is right and the time just wasn't right. It was still very hard to let go but I knew I had another one to look forward to.


We waited the long 2 month period and tried as soon as we got the go ahead. This time it was right away. After only a month of trying we were pregnant again and this time it was different. I wasn't nervous and we were both in a good place. I am now 14 weeks and showing as big as ever. My doctor said it's from my pregnancy with Dezi so not to be alarmed but for me it's more embarrassing. This time around is so different from Dezi so just for my purposes I'm listing them to actually compare.



DEZI


-very light all day sickness

-didn't really throw up

-no food aversions

-tired




BABY

-very heavy all day sickness

-throw up and then some any/everywhere

-major food aversions (diet still consists of starches, plain starches.)

-extremely tired

-allergies

-colds


This pregnancy is so different from Dezi that I'm hoping for a girl but of course as long as the baby is healthy that is all that matters. I've always said I wanted four and Gil has always said he wants two. Well he just might get what he wants.....MAYBE.

Looking back...

I have realized that there is just no way I can put each picture into it's own post. I really could, however, it will be summer 2011 and I'll be posting on Christmas 2010. So instead were taking a glimpse back in time!



We were able to go to the temple open house. It was amazing for me, okay for Gil and hard not to run for Dezi. To be expected I guess. Dezi was not cooperative at all when we wanted to take pictures.




Our First Christmas....
In our own home! It was exciting and tiresome all at the same time. I got to decorate how I wanted to and cook all the Christmasy goodies but I was happy to relax and pause when it was all over.








Thanksgiving was a smorgas board of great tasting food! I made the banana pie...homemade of course and the cranberries. They turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.





Gil's project...
It seems to never end. We bought this car cause he needed one but little did I know (although I should have known) it was going to be a big project. He took the motor out, painted the engine bay, changed some motor thingy's, put the motor back in, did body work, changed some car thingy's and has a garage full of inside and outside car stuff waiting to be put on as soon as the whole car is painted red. It can't happen any sooner for me.




And Halloween...
We carved pumpkins, attended parties and did the whole trick or treating thing except Dezi was not happy to be in a costume at all. That's why I don't have a picture of it. I have pictures but none blog worthy. He was an air bender but didn't want any part of it. Oh well, there's always next year.








That's our 2010 in a quick recap. I know the pictures are out of order but I'm just lazy and down right tired right now to change it.
