Little Boogers First Pictures!!

So we got some pictures of baby Trykk! Look at that little fat face :)!! She had a really hard time getting a good shot of his face because the placement of my placenta is right on top of his little body. I thought they turned out pretty good though because with what we did get I can imagine what he looks like...cause I'm his momma! The last one is my favorite one for sure!

We got a good one of his hands too...we counted all his fingers and toes :)! He looks exactly like Dougie too it's a little creepy! We aren't even sure if he's mine anymore haha!! Joke..

Merry Christmas!!!

My pictures uploaded upside down...oh well. We got a Wii for Christmas!!! What a fantastic invention that thing is! The whole family has been having soo much fun with it! Super Mario Bros is a big hit and of course the bowling!! I hope to spend as much time as possible playing before the baby comes!! We gave Doug's mom a promise for a family photo session and I got the reaction I was looking for...tears! Not that I wanted her to cry but I knew she would be soo happy! I can't wait!! Either way Christmas went off without a hitch and that makes me so proud after spending three solid weeks shopping for everyones hearts desire. Thank goodness it's over because I need a rest!!

How cute is the little stocking for Trykk! We know he's not here yet but of course no one could resist getting him little things for Christmas. He got some Classic Cars hot wheels as apart of his bedroom theme and even a little bib that says "I'm Hungry"...his moms always hungry that's for sure haha! Just shy of 32 weeks now and it's starting to freak me out a little bit! Almost there little booger!

We had another doctors appointment on Monday (we're on the every two week schedule now) and at this one we got to do the 3D/4D ultrasound so I'll have to post that story with some pictures when I get to it.

That Christmas spirit!

Oh I can't wait for Christmas!! Every Thanksgiving my family puts together this puzzle to spark some the Christmas spirit! We've seriously had it since before I was born I think. Still looks perfect to me!
Things have been going well with the pregnancy. Trykk is moving all around and getting little baby hiccups all the time! He always keeps me guessing what he could possibly be doing in there! I feel a little more panic each day because theres so little time before he joins our little family! His daddy was rubbing my belly today and it made me very happy to have him by my side. I'm so glad he is just as excited as I am! Only right around 10 more weeks...my how the time has flown!
I had to get my Rhogam shot for having negative blood last Thursday and that was such a pain. I sat at the hospital for 4 hours...YEAH 4 hours to get a needle in the butt! Then after spending an hour waiting in line at the pharmacy I have decided I have the WORST LUCK EVER! Oh well soon I will have a handsome little man staring up at me to make it all better!! :)

After all the pie...

I posted already today...27 weeks and 5 days pregnant! I throw in the 5 days because I look sooo huge! I'm turned semi sideways so I promise this isn't totally accurate! Hahaha wow...Well there ya go! Imagine this is only two weeks since the picture right below...Enjoy my lovely belly! I do!

My Thanksgiving Post

Ok so I took this picture by myself so that's why I look like poop...The angle I took the picture from makes my middle torso look grossly huge and then my head is tiny. At least I hope it's just the angle...mahahahahhaha. Sad. Ok so that was umm...about 25 weeks when I took it. How am I always so far behind with these things! By the end of the day I promise I will take some pictures that are real time!

I can't wait because later this afternoon we will be having a family reunion of sorts with my cousins J.P. and Jace whom we never get to see! Thanksgiving was sooo yummy! I ate WAY to much so in my next picture if I look fatter that's why! Just kidding it's all the baby's fault! My sister and her kids are here visiting from New Mexico so it's been chaotic with her 4 girls running around! Of course we really miss my Mom but we've been able to talk to her twice through Skype. The connection was pretty awesome considering she is in Indonesia! I'm very sad I couldn't have Dougie here with me for the holiday but we kept in touch through text message! His family took him a nice big dinner at work and they even made him his favorite spice cake! (he won't touch my favorite pumpkin desserts!) I personally made an apple pie and pumpkin cake thingy from the ground up! I was so proud of myself cause they both turned out amazing! All in all it was another good holiday in San Manuel!


This year i've certainly had my ups and downs but no matter what I remain thankful for every one of lifes little blessings! I am thankful for my relationship with Doug and how amazingly we fit together. I am thankful for this little man growing inside of me and can't wait to meet him! I am thankful for my family no matter how hard that can be sometimes. I am thankful to have such wonderful and supportive friends backing me through all this turmoil. Finally I am thankful 2009 will be over soon because no matter what it was a year I will remember forever but am trying sooo hard to forget!

New Moon!

I crack myself up...Not that i'm super fond of Taylor Lautner or anything I just like the idea of his character. I read the books long before the movie was set to come out and from the very beginning I fell for the Jacob character. I just think he's sooo funny and I LOVED the part of the books where you hear things from his point of view...HILARIOUS! The first movie was underwhelming but New Moon was pretty awesome! They did a great job following the sequence of the book and that's what I like to see :)! By the way did anyone else really love Dakota Fanning as a vampire...for some reason she had me at hello...or whatever other creepy stuff she said!

I feel so bad I haven't been on the computer to keep things updated! I started the 3rd trimester today and so far it's bliss. Haha just kidding. Laying down, or should I say getting back up!, is so much harder for me! I have two little itty bitty stretch marks in my two piercing holes...haha no one can really see them but I know they're there! I'll get some better updating with pictures done soon!

Trykk or Treat!

YAY FOR CANDY! I took some really cute pictures when we went trick or treating and of course had to share our fun! What an awesome weekend we had! I feel so blessed to be with Doug and his family on such a great holiday! I wish my sister was closer so I could go trick or treating with her kids but these are my surrogate neices and we like to spoil them! We came out with a ridiculous 410 pieces of candy!!!! Imagine that it was really only two little girls out knocking on doors so jeepers that's a ton! Me and Dougie dressed up too...well sorta haha! Oh and I put a little picture of the 24 weeks belly...that was after like 8 pieces of candy! Mahaha no seriously it's gettin bigger by the day! I can't wait to meet this little jumping bean!

What I SHOULD be finishing in my spare time!

So I've been working on these two pictures for my cousins kids and I thought maybe I should post them on here so my Mom and others could check em out! For some reason the blog keeps flipping the one picture sideways and I don't get that but oh well you get the picture! This one I posted is the painted version and the other one I'm doing is done in sharpie markers...it's done with a technique called stippling. These have taken me almost 5 months now and it's mainly because I keep getting side tracked! Anyone who knows me will say I have trouble with follow through hehe :). Well lemme know what you think...these ones aren't done yet and I'll post pictures of the other version a little later!!

Our little pumpkin sunday!

I love Halloween! I told Dougie we HAD to get pumpkins to carve this year! I haven't done it in soo long and I felt like I was possibly missing out on something. We went to a cute little pumpkin patch and picked out 4 of the most awesome pumpkins. Of course then we had lunch haha before we went home and spent like 3 hours carving! It was such a good time just hangin out and making our little masterpieces. His mom joked that we should make the pumpkin "Trykk or Treat!" for the babys name so I traced that out on there and Doug carved it! I think it came out sooo cute!! Our sons first pumpkin! (P.S. it already wilted soo bad because the letters were so close together... :( BOO!)
The baby is such an active little thing and he makes me laugh every morning when I can see him rolling around in there! I feel like I have soo much to do lately and my stress level is steadily moving up! I know I shouldn't stress but it's not easy not to! I absolutly have to finish the shower invitations cause I had planned to have them out by the second week in Nov. For some reason all my projects are getting soo off track! I have another appointment next Mon. so i'm way excited about that cause I really need to address my panic attacks with the doctor. When my anxiety starts kicking in I panic because i'm afraid i'm in some way hurting the baby! Another form of stress...ugh just gotta clear that up! These pregnancy hormones are nothing to joke around with!!

Me and Dougie...oh and the little baby in there (my boobs make my tummy look soo small but trust me it's not!) ! Doug was soo tired that day and I made him carve half that out for me which took FOREVER! Ha poor guy!

How cute right!! "Trykk or Treat!!"

Bella, Me and Jordan with their "Spooky" and "Silly" pumpkins!

Ha the girls we're so grossed out by the guts! Me too actually!!

Loving every kick!

So I feel like I have absolutely NO TIME lately! I've been super busy getting things organized and working every other day puts a wrinkle in things because every time I get a project started I get cut off by work! Starting and stopping projects is soo hard for me because I've always had trouble with follow through haha :). The baby is kicking up a storm lately and sometimes it even makes me kinda sick to my stomach because he does it so much for so long! Last night Doug finally "saw" the baby kick for the first time. He'd been trying soo hard to feel it but it's just not connecting haha! I really think he is trying to hard so all he can feel is his own pulse.

The other day I was laying on my back relaxing and I figured maybe I could watch my stomach to see if I could see the movement. Well I got a little bored staring at my stomach so I switched back to TV for a few minutes. Suddenly I could feel him again so I looked back to my belly and not 20 seconds later I saw him kick real hard to the left of my belly button! It was sooo strange looking! I instantly called Doug to tell him and I couldn't help but cry a little...then I was slightly creeped out haha it just looks so weird! He was excited to hear about what I experienced but he doesn't really believe me cause he's never been able to feel it so last night I made him stare at my stomach and after about 20 minutes he moved and Doug saw it!!! He was like "Are you kidding me?! That was the baby doing that!? WOW!" He was talking to my belly the whole time trying to convince him to move for Daddy haha. It was a good moment. I wish they had a space for that in his baby book!

Ok so explanations on these pictures...the top one is me at like 19 weeks? I'm at 22 now so it's bigger of course! I look sooo small in some of the pictures I look at...then I see myself in person and I'm like WHOA slow down on the eating turbo! Haha just kidding. It's the baby! The middle picture is a bunch of friends/family at Nightfall out at Old Tucson Studios. It was super dusty out there so it looks like theres fuzz in the picture. Doug thought he would be sooo funny by making it look like the creepy clown was cutting his head off with a chainsaw. I think he just looks silly...what a night that was!!! Oh and then this picture to the right is my belly up close haha. I just thought my old piercing holes look sooo funny now that I took out the jewelry. It looks like eyes and then little nostrals and my bellybutton is the mouth haha. I'm sure it's only gonna get worse!!

PICTURES SOON!!!!

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!! I have some pictures I wanna post later but I don't have time now...YAY!! SOOOOO HAPPY! and EXCITED!!

Take a guess!?

SOOO I suck at keeping up with this thing...BAD GIRL! Ok so we find out what the baby is Oct. 5th and I thought I would see if anyone has a big guesses?! We can't wait to find out because after that I feel like I can start really planning and getting things together!! I've been dying to pick up some cute stuff but I just can't bring myself to do it without knowing for sure! Who knew there would be such suspense with a 50/50 chance haha!

Here's a little picture of me and Dougie when he took me to the Omni resort for the weekend. It was so sweet of him to plan a little getaway for us! I look like a fat cow in this picture but thanks to the placement of his hand (bahahaha!) you can't tell how incredibly massive my boobs have gotten. I'm sorry but I can't deal with these things! I'm really praying they don't get any bigger!!

It's a BOY!!! Well maybe...haha

Ok so we bought one of those gender test thingys and according to the results...it's a BOY! That's what we were hoping for so if it's true then that's awesome! I guess we're just being impatient cause we really only have like 5 or 6 more weeks before we find out for sure.

Doug is the sweetest guy on the planet!! The other night his sister was helping me dye my hair and in walks my Doug with lily's! I told him they were my favorite flowers so a few weeks later he went to the flower shop and bought me some! They were so pretty in the beginning but they just kept blooming so they look even more gorgeous now. I love him soo much!

I wanna be fat already :(

Welp another week or two have passed. Almost 13 weeks now so that's exciting. Ok I lie it's not exciting at all!!! Just this morning I was thinking to myself how I wish this process would speed up :)! I have the patience of a two-year-old at this point! We heard the heartbeat on Monday but unfortunately she didn't really let us hear it for very long. It was like "Do you hear it?"...us "Aww yeah!!"...her "Ok good". And that was it! Doug is very disappointed they won't be showing us the baby and taking pictures every month.

Doug also laughed his butt off when I showed him the blog I made and where it said I haven't been sick. "Haha yeah right you complain everyday!" he says. Well ok I didn't have any throwing up or the general queezy feelings which is what I consider "sick". I am a bit of a whiner though so when I get a headache or back pain I make a HUGE deal out of it ha! Sorry for the deception, I admit to being a big giant whiney baby...and it will only get worse :)!!

So trying to occupy my time I found some seriously awesome baby clothes online! I'm trying to figure out if I can register at one of these cool baby clothes websites haha. Probably not but a girl can dream!

Gotta start this thing...

So I figured I would start one of these things because I can send all the people that keep asking me how i'm doing to one spot! I've LOVED looking at Jill's blog and noticed there's a bunch of other people connected through here as well! My how everyone has changed!! Babies and weddings galore! I haven't really made an official announcement but I figure hey why not start this blog out with a BANG!

I'm Pregnant!!

No joke that's weird for me to say...As of yesterday i'm 11 weeks and doin flippin' fabulous! I haven't been sick at all! Seriously I never in a million years I would imagine to be so lucky! Doug and I are very excited and feeling lucky to be almost through with the 1st trimester.

Doug's mom and sister insisted I take a picture of my stomach the other day but seriously the only reason why it sticks out is because i've never been the skinniest thing and plus i'm bloated! It's even worse because i'm in a bathing suit haha! Oh well I have some pictures from our swimming the other day so in order to make this thing more interesting i'll post em up!!

Here's me...lookin hot as usual!!

This is Doug...just kidding! That's his sister Ruby holding me like her little baby!

My neice Bella in the sprinklers...I LOVE this picture...it's soo Bella...plus I took it! (pure talent)

My neices Jordan, Bella and their pal Victoria dancin' in the rain/sprinklers.

She sooo didn't want me to take these pictures but it was hilarious. She spilled strawberries all over herself.
