Getting Bigger!

This baby boy is growing growing growing, and is even bigger than this today. We are thinking about naming him Owen but were not 100 percent sure, well I am but Tim's not. I am growing too as you can see. I am starting to get uncomfortable and sleeping is becoming more difficult. This pregnancy is very different from the first. This baby is carrying very high...Zach's was the opposite. He is constantly in my ribs and it can be painful and take my breath away. I can't wait for him to drop. I can feel him move all day long and sometimes all night. Tim has been able to feel him multiple times and I am getting so excited to meet our son!

The Happiest Place on Earth

About a month ago we went to Disneyland! It was so much fun and Zach had a blast! We had hopper tickets so we also went to California Adventure. We spent 3 days there and then went to Tim's sisters house for the weekend. We also stayed a few nights with my best friend Lindsay. Here are some pictures of our trip:

Building a fort with the boys
At the museum, big fish!
I grew up in this house, I miss it! They were filming at it!
Bugs life Land!
We bought Zach this Pooh Bear, he loves it!
The Haunted Mansion, his first ride!
Finding Nemo, Zach's Favorite ride.
Apparently my knee was digging into Tim's leg.

I love Zach's expression.
Toy Story box!
Pulling on the sword
He would not let go!
Dumbo, his least favorite ride.
On the Farris wheel, it was sooo windy!
More Nemo
On the Jungle Safari
Waiting in line. Lines were short the whole trip, it was great.

* Making silly faces for the camera

* Playing with curtains

* Giving hugs

* Going for walks

Things he is not so into:

* Diaper changes

* Waiting for his bottle of milk

* Terrified of the DVD player

* Cartoons

* The Dark

humm, there's not much he doesn't like.

He is so gentle with everyone and I just adore this boy from head to toe. He is my best friend and I can't wait to see how he will be with his little brother.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue....we're having Boy #2!!

It's another Boy!!! We are so excited to have another son. I can't wait to pull out all of Zach's old clothes and see all the cute outfits. I have tried to think of names but I can't seem to find the perfect match...it's kinda frustrating. I also wonder if this baby will look similar to Zach and look like his dad or be like me. It would be fun for him to be a little darker like me. I guess we will see!

We Have a Walker on Our Hands!!

Zach is finally walking!! This video was from a few weeks ago, now he is much better. He loves walking everywhere it is just the cutest thing ever. My baby is getting so big and he makes me smile so much! I officially feel like I have a toddler now!




The other baby is growing fast too! We find out in 26 days what this little bean is. Here is a 3 month belly picture....not the best because of the mirror but oh well!

Baby #2 Update

This Pregnancy is flying by so far which is nice because last time it felt like it lasted forever. I had my first baby doctor appointment this week and I heard the heartbeat for the first time! It took a little while to find it but it was for sure there. We're scheduling a repeat c-section for the end of March. I can try a VBAC if I go into labor before 39 weeks but my doctor said that's most likely not going to happen and to plan for a c-section. The thought of just going straight to the c-section is relieving in a way because last time I labored for 16 hours before the c-section and I was exhausted by that point. It was a little to much for me to handle.

As for symptoms at about 91/2 weeks....nothing to bad. I get nauseous every once in a while, mostly at night. I hate throwing up so I fight it as hard as I can. My back hurt really bad my first pregnancy and it hurts again. The most annoying symptom is having to pee a lot! I don't really mind it during the day but I hate being interrupted at night. I will lay there until it hurts....dumb I know but if I get up then it takes me a while to go back to sleep, sometimes hours. I also already feel huge. I am bloated all the time and I am feeling ligament pains much earlier this time, which can be annoying. I guess they say a balloon that has already been blown up once, blows up faster the second time. Well, I can't believe I am about a fourth of the way done. We are going to go next month around 16 weeks and see if we can find out the gender early! I would love another boy but a girl would be exciting too.. I feel like it's another boy :)
