These past few weeks have been sort of crazy! We found out that we are pregnant with baby number three!! I am 8 weeks along now and due July 31st. I had a little scare about a week and a half ago, but everything is ok now!!! I had my first ultrasound and was able to see the little pulsating peanut in my belly. Monet and Paxton are so excited to have a baby brother or sister. Although, both of them are saying that they think there is a boy and a girl in my tummy. Haha. I am not feeling too bad right now. I have been having some nausea, but really not that bad. I have been super tired, but am so happy that I have been cleared to do some light exercise!
I am on winter break right now. I get to see my grades from Fall term tonight after 5:00 pm, so I am kind of anxious for that. I am hoping for straight A's!!! Winter term will start in about two weeks on January 3rd. I am looking forward to taking a yoga class and stress management class! I will taking a quantitative statistical methods class and first aid class as well. It should be interesting to be going to school, working more hours, taking care of the family and house, and being pregnant! It kind of makes me feel tired just thinking about it. Haha. I know that I will get it done! Although, I really am wishing that I had a housekeeper for at least once a month!!! That would be so awesome, but so not gonna happen. Haha.
Today I am making a wedding cake with my baking partner Stephanie Gooding. It is our first paid job, so we are pretty excited. I will be delievering and setting it up tomorrow up in north portland. Then, we have another one to make in march and I will also be singing at that wedding. Needless to say, I am keeping very busy with my baking and crafting hobbies as well as school, work and family. Loving life and trying to soak up each and every minute that we get to spend as a family. Has seemed like Scott and I are going different directions a lot of the time, each spending time with the kids when the other one is busy with other duties outside of the house! We are both looking forward to spending more family time together next week and in the decades to come. We are also hoping to have a date night on Sunday so that we can go listen to some Jazz music and have yummy food and drinks. Thanks to my mom for always being willing to watch our kiddos!!! It is precious to see how much all of them enjoy time together! My mom loves her grandkids so much, and that love is definitely returned!!!
Back to the pregnancy... I am very curious if the baby is going to be a girl or a boy... I am kind of hoping for a boy since my sister has a baby boy and my sister-in-law is pregnant right now with a boy. However, I will obviously be excited either way! I remember people telling me that I would show a lot faster with the second one, but was not quite prepared for the earliness that I would show with the third! I typically show early due to my tilted uterus, but at 7 weeks?!?! Kinda spooky! haha My friends that are also pregnant right now with their third or have already had a thrid reassure me that it is because it is the third baby. :) Below is a picture of my little bump. I will try to update as I go along... but we will see. ;)
Love to all this holiday season! This has always been my favorite time of the year, but has only gotten better with my kiddos around. This year they are so much more invloved and excited! I am hoping to go look at Christmas lights next week and maybe go to zoo lights as well!! Happy Birthday to Christ the risen Lord!!!!
