Pregnancy Update

I went to the doctors yesterday for a check-up. Everything is going well. I am measuring big just like I did with Carson. I was measuring 38 weeks along and I am only 35 weeks. So another big baby. I go to the doctors in 2 weeks and from there once a week. Hopefully we can do another ultrasounds to see just how big she is and figure out our options for when she is born. We are slowing getting things ready for her. We at least have a place for her to sleep and some clothes and diapers. We still don't have a name and we probably won't name her until she is born. So the waiting and being uncomfortable continues.

Carsons 15 month check-up

Carson went to the doctors yesterday for a check-up. His stats are
Length- 33 inches (90% )
weight- 23lbs 6 oz (40%)
He has only gained one pound since his last check-up and that is due to him being so active. She was not concerned at all about that. We talked about his language skills and she was not concerned as well. Carson can communicate with Matt and I even though he does not use many words. He points and will take our hands to what he wants. He did get some shots and cried a lot longer than he normally does. He kept on trying to pull the band-aids off. I think part of it was due to a not very long morning nap. By night time he was just fine. Overall he his doing well and so far there seems to be no problems with him.

New Nephew

On Saturday my nephew was born. My sister-in-law had her water break in the afternoon and then they called the doctor. He said to head to the hospital, in Brigham city. At 11:24pm he was born. He was small at 6 lbs 2 oz 19 inches. They named him Zaden. He looks like just like Caige when he was born and they both look like my brother. Mom and baby are doing fine and they are already home. It was fun to hold and new baby again and it is getting me excited for when I have my in about 5 weeks.

Happy Anniversary

Matt and I have been married for four years now. Our wedding anniversary was on April 14. This year we did not do anything special. We both went to work and watched American idol that night. I did manage to make a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Some years you just don't have the money to do anything and sometimes those are the most memorable. Plus having children and being very pregnant makes it hard to do something fun. Next year we are planning on a trip to "who knows where" so will see if that really happens. It is fun to look back on the years of marriage and see all the things that have happened and been accomplished and then look forward to what the future might bring. Happy Anniversary Matt. I love you!

Happy Easter

We celebrated Easter on Saturday with my family. We went to my parents house to have a Easter egg hunt and dinner. My brother and his family came from tooele so every one was there except my dad who was in Denver. Matt and my brother went outside to hide the eggs for Carson and Caige (my nephew who is 2 1/2) to find. Cagie caught on to the concept quickly, Carson not so much. He would find eggs and then hand them to you. When he would get some in his basket he would shake it and they would all come out. It was fun and cute to watch. Towards the end he caught on to the idea, but still needed help finding the eggs. Caige would even find the eggs and put them in Carson basket for him. It took about 10 min for everything to be found. We went inside to open some of the eggs and Carson was more interested in the egg than what was inside. Then it was time for a nice dinner. Matt and I did not do anything this year for Easter, (I know were bad parents) but Carson did get things from my parents. I think being this young still he does not know the difference. Next year I will make sure we do something and also teach him why Easter is an important holiday to celebrate and remember.

New Job :)

Matt has been applying for a service manager job which the the next step up in his career for quiet some time. There were a couple of times when it was between Matt and another person and the other person always got the job. Matt was frustrated a couple of times, but still did his current job as a personal banker well. Another opening became available and Matt applied. The interview went well and he was told that there was another person that was being considered for the job. Matt thought that once again he would not get the job. He had the interview on Friday and would be told by Wed if he got the job. Matt came home from work that night and told me to get ready to go out. We were planning on going to Wal-mart to do some grocery shopping so I was in some gym shorts and t-shirt. So I was confused on why I needed to get dressed. He said that Carson was going to my moms house and Matt and I were going out to eat because he got the service manager job. I was shocked and very excited at the same time. So we went to the Olive Garden to celebrate. That night Matt could not sleep because he was too excited about his new job. It is not much of a pay raise but every little bit helps. Hopefully in the near future I will be able to stop working and just stay home. Congratulation Matt!

The many flowers to come

I was making dinner last night and Matt took Carson outside to entertain him for a couple of minutes while I finished everything. The sliding door opens and Matt tell me that Carson has something for me. Carson comes over to me and hands me a Dandelion. He had one in each hand and handed both of them to me. I was very excited to accept them. Then they went back outside to play some more. I got a little emotional over the jester of having your son hand you flowers. I think part of the emotion coming out was due to me being pregnant and you cry at anything and everything. It is times like these that you just love being a mom and would not want your life any other way.

Computers are so much fun!

This past Sunday we tried to bring up the Internet, it did not work. So Matt played around with some things seeing if something got disconnected or if our wireless connector was having problems. Well he could not figure out what the problem was. So on Tuesday we went over to my mom house to see if we can connect to the Internet there, no such luck. My mom had a wireless card to plug into the computer and that seemed to work. So Matt thought that we needed to buy a wireless adaptor. or something internally was broken. My brother, who knows is stuff when it comes to computers, looked at our computer and chastised us for not having protection programs and that our computer had too many bugs/virus to count and that could be the problem of why we could not connect to the Internet. So last night he came over to fix our computer. We had to save all our files and documents to his computer because we needed to reformat our computer and start all over again form scratch. Matt was not happy with this idea because he did not think that it would solve the problem and he would lose all the time and energy spent into playing Diablo. At one point he wanted to by another computer so that he would not lose his game. Well after much arguing, we finally let my brother do his thing. The computer got fixed and we now have protection on our computer so we don't have any more problems in the future. Computers are so much fun!
