Reminiscing

 Being that today is the first that I am a stay at home mommy again I have sat here and enjoyed my day with my two little boys! I have LOVED sitting back feeling this little man kick and move! I will admit that I have had about 2 cans of Mt. Dew, so that could be why he is so busy today. I have pushed on my stomach all day long and would get this HUGE power kick back! I LOVE IT!!!!!! I cannot wait to meet my little guy!
I have also sat here today and gone through baby clothes and baby pictures. I miss when Jacer guy was so little that he could not talk back to me! LOL. This boy has such an attitude it drives me crazy! Today timeout has been his best friend. I sit and look at all the pictures of him and just get so excited to have another little man that is going to snuggle me all day long! I am so excited for all of the little baby sounds, and baby cries. Only 4 more months!!!! YAY!!!!!!

 Look at how cute this little boy was! Can you imagine how cute this next little guy is going to be? I gotta say Reed and I make a cute kid!

North Carolina

For those of you who actually read my blog and don't know this yet, Reed and I are moving out to North Carolina in April. Reed got a job for the summer which will be taking us out that way. I am excited, scared, nervous, and emotional about it.
 EXCITED: For the very first time in our marriage of 4.5 years it will just be my husband and I depending on each other and not having any body else to fall back on and help us out of tough situations.
SCARED: I will be having baby boo out there. I am so gosh dang scared about the what if's. I am so scared to be delivering a baby without any family around me. I have a few girls on the team that I have gotten to know a little bit that I know would be there to help me through it but it is just not the same as having family there.
NERVOUS: Moving across the country... Need I say more.
EMOTIONAL: Well being pregnant does not help this matter, but I am emotional because im scared and nervous and excited all at once. I am going to miss my brothers so much. I am so scared to take Jace so far away from his Aunts and Uncles and Cousins. He loves them all so very much!!!

But all in all I know in my heart that this is the right decision for our family and that we will be so very blessed by going out there. We will be leaving Utah on April 11th and will be heading back to Utah around September 1st.

24 weeks!

This week has been an exhausting one! Baby boo is ALWAYS moving around, always kicking! A few times the kicks are so intense that I will push on my stomach and you can actually see my hand move from him kicking it. I have tried to pull out the camera or have Reed come over to see/feel it but the second he comes over or the camera is out he stops moving! Little stinker! He mainly stays at the top of my belly by my left ribs.... which he kicks A LOT! and it feels like he is pulling on my belly button or the umbilical cord (which is not a wonderful feeling).

This month/Week:
 CRAVINGS: Cereal & TruMoo chocolate milk.
 WEIGHT GAIN: WAY TO MUCH! People say you should not worry about your weight while you are pregnant but I beg to differ. It is one thing if it healthy weight that is put on..... but for me I gaining a lot of unhealthy weight due to my gosh dang cravings. Lets just say I am 20 lbs away from weighing what I did when delivering with Jace, and I am only half way. YIKES.
WORK: Is kicking my butt. Getting up at 7 a.m. everyday and working till 7 p.m. was so hard on me and I was not getting anything done at home due to coming home and crashing every night that I put in my two weeks and today is actually my last day!!!! YAY!!! I am so excited to be home with my little Jacer guy everyday all day long!
 JACE: Jace is so excited to be a big brother! He will randomly come up to me and tell me that he loves his baby brother and he will ask me to lift up my shirt so he can talk to baby and give him kisses! It is the cutest thing in the entire world!!! Brings tears to my eyes when he does it.
HEARTBURN: Oh my hell..... don't even get me started!!!!!
HOW I FEEL: I feel like a tired overgrown cow that needs a lot of sleep!!!!
THE HUSBAND: Reed will not leave me alone! Not that having him around is a bad thing or anything but when he is raping you with his eyes every second of the day (and keep in mind my hormones are off the freaking wall) it really drives ya nuts! I should be flattered that he thinks me pregnant is so attractive but when ya feel like an obese cow..... oh man idk. I LOVE YOU REED ALLEN WHITE and thank you for finding me so sexy during this time.

20 weeks!

As of tomorow January 20th 2013 I will have reached the 20/20 mark. I will be 20 weeks pregnant with only 20 more to go! HALF WAY BABY! The first half of this pregnancy has been a rough one. Like I said I have experienced things with this pregnancy that I did not have to go through with Jace. On the plus side I have not gained as much as I did with Jace. So far we are only up 15 whopping pounds. With Jace I went from 140 to a delivery weight of 210.... YIKES. I'm really hoping to be able to keep my weight down through this pregnancy and try and gain no more then maybe 30 pounds.

Oh and....... We are having another little boy!!!!! I have had a feeling from the start that we were having a little boy but everyone in the family besides Jenn thought it was a girl. I was told that I was carrying differently then I did with Jace, and all of my cravings pointed to girl, but when we got the ultrasound at 16 weeks the very first thing Reed said when he looked at the screen was... "Is that what I think it is?" Lol. Sure enough, it was what he thought it was. Anyhow, we are all excited that we are having another little guy and can't wait for him to come into this world so we can snuggle him.
(As soon as blogger quiets being dumb and startes working I will post pictures of the ultrasound.)  

A very WHITE christmas

I have felt like the grinch this year. I have been so busy at work and working late nearly every night that I have been so tired I have not wanted to do anything for christmas, I even got a small tree for Jace and let him have at it this year. I did manage to get a letter to santa though, so Jace did get his christmas. Santa paid Reed a visit a few months ago. He was such a good boy he got a Remington 870 Express shot gun for an early christmas present, and the price on his face was worth every $100 that was spent. Jace got plenty of PJ's and a few board games and halo toys from santa and I got a Tablet! So overall it was a great christmas spent with both sides of the family and lots and lots of laying on the couch!

There may be hope

As many of you know, my situation with my family(mainly with my parents) has been a very rough, rocky road relationship since I was 18 yrs old. Well, after 5 years we are finally working through our issues and my mom and I are becoming a family again. I am not going to say a whole lot more other than I am so grateful for my mom and I am excited to be able to have this chance to build a new relationship with her and have Jace get to know her.

Oh the cravings!

Can i just say to all those people who said each pregnancy gets easier, ya'all lied. My pregnancy with jace was so simple up until delivery, this pregnancy is a completely different story. I have cravings up the wall, i have morning sickness occasionally, and i have been sick non-stop since October. Things i never experienced with my 1st pregnancy. My 1st trimester i craved cheeseburgers and cheese sticks, and now in the 2nd trimester all i want is mountain dew and Dr. Pepper. This baby is going to be off the wall hyper. I am now16 weeks and I'm feeling great and jace is excited to be a big brother!

Nicole is coming to town!

Nicolie Olie is coming to town! (in my head I am singing that along to 'Santa Claus is coming to town...) LOL. Colie is coming to town for a WHOLE FREAKIN WEEK on Dec 4th!!!! Ever since Colie moved to Colorado I have felt that a part of me has died. I know that sounds really pathetic but Colie is my best friend and has been there for me through every single thing. Once she moved I lost my girl talk and all I really have around me is a house full of boys (and we all know what men talk about....... video games, not exactly my cup of tea). But ANYHOW, my best friend  is coming home for a week and I intend to spend every free second of mine with her and Olivia (jaces girlfriend). So seeing how it is a couple hours till THANKSgiving I thought I would let my bestie know how grateful I am to her for always being there for me, and for having my back throughout our teenage years... and for letting me know what an idiot I was being in high school and keeping me in check. Thank you Colie Olie O for being my sister and staying by my side and crying with me and laughing with me and having a baby with me! lol. I am so grateful for little Liv. LOVE YOU COLIE O and I CANNOT wait to see you!

Many months & many tears

As any mother would know after you have your first child and you see them growing up you really start to miss when they were so tiny and snuggly. Well for the past couple of years I have been trying to convince the hubby that it was time to start to expand our family. He wanted to wait till Jace was 2. So once my little boy turned two I went and got my IUD taken out and the journey began. I seriously thought it would take no time at all before I would get pregnant, boy was I wrong. Month after month I would cry and did not understand what was going on. I wanted to be pregnant so bad, and nothing is worse then being late and then getting negative after negative tests. A few months ago I started working for a doctors office and heard so many things about thyroid issues and how it can make you infertile and as I started to think about it I noticed that I had a lot of the same signs of hypothyroidism that the doctor would talk about. So, I scheduled an appointment to have blood work done and low and behold I have hypothyroidism. Doc put me on levothyroxin to help balance everything out and within a few days I had finally gotten a positive ovulation test! Hubbs and I knew this was it. This was our time to MAKE a baby! Within a few weeks I was tired as crap, the smell of food made me sick, and of course I was 5 days late. First thing in the morning on Oct 11 I took the test and I could not look at it in fear that it would be negative. I finally got enough courage to glance over and....

We are due June 10th 2013. As of today 11/11/12 I am officially 10 weeks along and feeling huge (BLOAT). My cravings have kicked in already and we made our first midnight run to Burger King last night. Jace is not fully sure how he feels about mommy having another baby... he tells me all the time that he doesn't want a brother or sister... So I think it's going to be a little tough for my little boy to accept. 

Nicole & Olivia

So my best friend since 6th grade finally got to be with her husband. Her husband is in the army and for the past two years of their married she has only seen him a few times. Well they got stationed out in Colorado Springs, Colorado and they left at the end of July. Their little girl Olivia is Jaces girl friend and his best friend. We both miss Olivia and Nicole so much. A week before Nicole and Liv moved we went to 7 peaks and hung out, we had so much fun.

I had a month to prepare for Colie and Liv to move and everyday it got harder. I would be doing my make-up and randomly start crying thinking about them moving. Driving, looking at pictures, hearing jace say their name.... you name it, and it reminded me of them moving and I cried. It was a super hard month for me. Reed laughed at me a lot in that month. It has been just over a month since we have seen them and it is KILLING me. We just moved 4 houses down from where they lived and I HATE that I can't see my best friend everyday. On the bright side, I guess it gives me a chance for a good vacation. I LOVE YOU COLIE & LIV! WE LOVE YOU COLIE AND LIV!!!
