17 Weeks

This little girl sure makes me smile. She is wearing my boots and swiffer sweeping the floors. What a big helper. ;0 She is really cute with the new baby growing big in my belly, she pretends she is tickling it. I can't let her do it too long though cuz it starts to hurt after awhile. But it's sweet when she gives it a kiss. I've definitely started showing a lot sooner with this one. It's exciting. I had an appointment last week and things are going good. My next appointment is Feb. 2 and we will be finding out the sex of the baby that day. I can't wait. Whenever Corey and I ask Jordan if mommy is having a brother or a sister, she always says sister. And she is dead serious about it. And we say whichever is great! We are very excited.
My sister Jana had her 3rd baby yesterday morning. Her 2nd son, he is a little stud. I can't wait to meet you little man. I'm so glad you are here. Both mom and baby are doing great! Love you guys!
Jordan is now in her new room, my parents and Corey painted her room. I got to say I am in love with it. There are some last minute finishing touches with her bed and room decor, but other than that it is so cute. And so Jordan! I can't say enough how greatful I am for them doing that for us, thanks again. Next project, new babies room!!!

Christmas 2011

Christmas was so fun this year! Our tree was from our cabin, my parent's chopped it down for us when they went there for Thanksgiving. We loved it! Thank you mom and dad for the beautiful tree. We actually made these cookies sometime in early November. I was really bad with picture taking this Christmas as I have been it seems for a very long time. I need to do better. But Santa did come and Jordan's big present was a bike. She finally learned to ride it last week. I'll post bike pictures of her on a later post. Right now we only ride it inside, lol! We had a great holiday and a great new year! We spent it with friends and had tons of snacks and yummy grub. Thanks everyone for the yummy goodies and your Christmas cards. I love getting those! ;) I'm sorry we didn't do one this year, time seriously slipped away from me. We will do one this next year for sure. I hope everyone had a great one!!!

13 Weeks!

I need to officially announce that Corey, Jordan and I are expecting a new family member. Baby #2 is due to arrive June 20th. We can't be more thrilled. I have been able to see my baby every doctor visit so far in the ultrasounds and it is very comforting. My doctor is seriously the best, she has done a lot of tests on me from my previous pregnancy and found out that I have a bloodclotting disorder called Leiden Factor 5 and that is why I had issues with Jordan's pregnancy. My doc says that the risk of everything happening to me again with this one is higher because of the disorder but atleast now we know and we can monitor it more closely and hopefully catch things before it gets worse. I tell you she is an answer to all of my prayers. One of the side effects of the disorder is pre-eclampsia. WOW! It's in 5% of the American population. My doctor says I was most likely born with it. Anyway just thought I'd throw that out there for family records.

Jordan tells us it's a sister when we ask her what is the baby inside of me? It's really cute! She comes and pats me in the stomach, quite hard actually, to tell us the baby is there. We are anxiously waiting for #2, I'm especially excited to see how Jordan does with it. She loves babies!!!Can't wait!

Utah Thanksgiving 2011!

We took family pics on Saturday because we needed an update. Jordan was 5 months old in the last one we all took together, so Peti scheduled a photo shoot. It was tons of fun and I really like the photographer, she did a great job. I'm so glad Peti is on top of these things, they really are important and I love having pictures. It was hilarious trying to get Jordan to cooperate but I think she got a lot of good shots of her!!! I have other pics to post later from Thanksgiving, but those are being emailed to me so I will have to get them later! It was a great trip and I'm so grateful for family! Love you guys!

Happy Halloween!

This year Jordan was a black cat and we took her trick-or-treating for the first time. (instead of trunk-or-treat) It was tons of fun! Her ears didn't stay on very well. But they were cute. My mom made the skirt with the tail attached and I always wore it when I was a little girl.

 Our friends the Lee's came with us. They were so cute running house to house. They got so much candy. There is Porter (dragon), Jordan and Annastyn (80's work-out girl).

 They were pretty funny when the people would say "take one". Yeah right. Whenever that happened we always stepped in, haha!

 Afterwards we got to see Kadyn and Kameran as pirates before the night was through. So cute!

Then after going through our neighborhood we went to my parent's house to get more candy, of course. ;) It was a nice night and so fun!
