Disneyland

So, we went to Disneyland in mid-October. It was so much fun! We spent 4 days there and 3 nights in the Disneyland hotel. It was so much fun to have the park so close to our hotel room! The first 2 days we just spent riding rides and just having fun. Thursday (the third day) we went to the park all day and then we went to Mickey's Trick or Treat party at the California adventure park which was a blast. My mom was dressed as Elizabeth from Pirates of the Carribean and my sister was dressed as a pirate... and we got to take their picture with a Jack Sparrow character. It was so funny! He was amazingly good at acting the part.
The last day, Friday, we started really early, at about 7:30, and it was a lot of fun. We rode 5-6 rides in the first hour! That was great! That night we saw fantasmic, which I love.
The scary part of the trip was loosing Hunter. I am so thankful to Disneyland and their staff, who have great policies in place for lost children. I give two major thumbs up to them!!!
All in all it was a great trip! I love spending time as a family and seeing Meghann was great too!!!

So much going on...

So, our baby was born August 27th, 2009. It was a wonderful day. He weighed 7lbs 10oz and he was 18.5 in. His name is Parker James and he was born at 11:55am.
Funny story... we went in to have the amniocentisis on the 26th and they were unable to do it. My fluid was too low so they induced me for low fluid... thank heaven I didn't have to have the amnio!
So things at our house have been hectic but great. Parker is a joy, even though he is really difficult. We love him anyway!

The official Date

So we have our induction scheduled. I will be induced on August 27th, the only hitch is that I have to have an amniocentisis the day before to make sure Parker is healthy enough to be born. I am terrified for the amnio. I haven't ever seen one and shots freak me out!! But it is very much worth it to have my husband there when Parker comes in to this world. It is really sad that he will leave the day after but nothing is perfect, right?!
More good news is that my sister Meghann will be coming out to see Parker be born and for my cousins wedding. I am so happy she will be here. I will need lots of support because I will be like a single parent for Parker's first 3 weeks. At least my mom will be there... she is so helpful in every aspect of my life!!!
I am so glad my family is so awesome!!! I can't wait for my new little addition to an already crazy household filled with cute little boys!

Exciting News!

So, the hospital that I will be delivering at has a policy for induction so you can only be induced 1 wk before your due date. This caused an issue for me because my husband will be in Germany at that time. Since I work for the same company as the hospital I talked with some people and I now have authorization for an earlier induction because of the reasoning behind it (it being of the military nature). I am so happy to know that my husband will be there!!! Especially since this is our last baby! So now the countdown is beginning... we have six weeks left! I am so excited to see our little Parker! He is a very active little child!!

Yeah, third trimester!!!

I am finally writing on my blog, yes I know it has been a very long time. So as of Sunday the 14th I am officially in my last trimester with this pregnancy. Our precious little Parker is growing strong and quickly. I am loving the movements. Pregnancy isn't easy but it is surely worth it!!!

We just got back from California. Brian helped his dad re-shingle the roof for the first 4 days, which the boys and I spend relaxing. We did go to the Jelly-Belly Factory which was fun! Then on friday we got to go to San Fransisco which was a great day. We went to the aquarium, wandered the piers and went to a Giants baseball game (which they won). It was a really great trip and I am terribly sad it is over. I have great in-laws!

Scrapbook expo

So I spent friday and saturday at the Scrapbook USA expo and it was so much fun!!! I went with my mom and my aunt Cindy. We took a few classes both days, which are always great. We found a lot of great deals and had a lot of fun. I love scrapbooking!!!!

Baby Update

So I had a doctor's appt last week and the baby is growing and doing well. Next time we get to do an ultrasound and find out whether it will be pink or blue we will be buying. I have begun to feel movement in there which is great!! Any suggestions for a boys name??? We are stuck. It will be Brooklyn if it is a girl (which I am hoping for cause I have 2 boys...)

Brian's AT

Brian is going to Germany this september. His guard unit is going for their annual training. He is really excited for the experience of being there and seeing the sights. I am bummed that I do not get to go but I will have a new baby to keep me preoccupied. He doesn't get much time for sight seeing but seeing any of the sights there would be worth it. But I am sure he would rather be home with the baby.

And baby completes our family...

So I found out I was pregnant about 4 weeks ago, about mid January. I couldn't have been more excited. Then I found out my due date is Labor day of all days, ironic... YES! Even better was the fact that my husband, Brian, will be out of the country on my due date...what a pickle. Anyway, I think it will work out ok, especially since both my boys were 10 days early and both were fine. So, this is the first time I have experienced morning sickness and I must say that it sucks!!! I send props to all those who had it worse than I did or even at all! It makes everyday life seem impossible. Anyway, we are hoping for a girl and please only one! Multiples was never something I could wrap my brain around. This was just a quick entry to update my blog (since I am a slacker). YEAH, time to prepare for a baby!!!
