At not even 2 years old....we have quite the Dare Devil!!!

This little munchkin of ours is going to be just like her father, I'm afraid. As you will see below, her mother would never have thought of doing something like this, because I am a pretty GIANT chicken! Her father, however, has done so many things in his 26 years of life that have caused himself and his mother some pain, and I am afraid I am in for some of that pain, myself....

If you notice, you will see much concentration on that face as she lets go of the handle bars. She started out sitting on it and lifting her legs high in the air, about 7 months ago. Then one day not too long ago, she would stand on it, but not let go of the handle bars. And then just last week, I looked over to find her standing there, on a horse with wheels, without holding on at all!!!! Oh my goodness! She may kill me one day! Scaredy cat hearts like mine cannot handle seeing things like that ESPECIALLY when they involve your own child!!!! I am afraid, VERY afraid! :o}

But just look how proud she is!!!! Oh botha!

So the doctor said.....

IT'S A GIRL!!!
Another girl, who is rambunctious already! She would not stop moving while doing the ultrasound and I have been feeling her move every few minutes since Wednesday night!!! She really doesn't stop, and I think that's why I still feel nauseous all the time. 'Cause she's moving my insides around all the time! I have a feeling she'll be quite a bit like her big sister. Which means we are in for it, that's for sure! :o) We are excited! And I'm so glad we finally know! Yay!

Answer...

Okay, so those of you who guessed I am #2 at the present time, you are correct. HOWEVER....I certainly feel like I look like #1 and am huge!!! But I'm sure it will just get worse! :)

We are looking forward to someone giving us an offer on the house....hopefully they will sometime this week! It will be my last night at the jail tomorrow night. It's somewhat of a bittersweet feeling. I am going to miss all my friends there, but I will be SOOOOOOO grateful not to have to work shift work anymore! Thanks to all of you who have become my friends while working there for the past year or so. It has been fun! New life...here I come! :)

Any Guesses???

Which one of these pictures is me at 34 weeks along and which one is me today at 19 weeks along? That is only a 15 week difference...but not a huge difference in size. So can you guess which one is which? And be careful what you say... :o} I feel like I am growing like a weed this time around and it's driving me crazy!! I'm a little nervous to see what I look like at the end of this pregnancy :o]

It has been a tough decision, but we have decided to sell our home... :o( It has been online for about a week, but the sign was just put up Saturday, so we're hoping that will get it more attention. We have only had one person come to look at it, but we are very hopeful. We would really like it to sale quickly so if any of you that read this know of anyone who is looking, please mention it to them. It is a wonderful house, with a newly remodeled kitchen, and 4 bedrooms. Also, with wonderful neighbors and a great ward, if that's what you like! :) We are super sad to leave, but it is a must. The following picture is a closer look at the sign with info to our realtor, which is Ryan's cousin. Thanks Kevin! You can come any time to see it, he is really easy to work with. Or you can call one of us for more information if you'd like. Now, there are more changes than just moving. I am currently working at Davis County Jail, but will be transferring from there to Tri-County Weatherization on Feb. 22nd. I am excited about this move, because it will still be for the county, so insurance, etc. will not change, but I will now be working a SET schedule!!! Thank goodness! I have been doing shift work for the last year and 3 months. It has been a great, easy job, with great people to work with, but the shift work certainly is hard, and not my cup of tea! I will now be working 4 ten hour shifts Monday-Thursday. It will be so nice to always have nights, and holidays off, and always have a three day weekend!!! I can't wait for that! A regular schedule for my pregnant, tired body, and more time with Ryan and Jaycee and the new baby! It will be so wonderful, and I am so blessed to have found this job!

That's not all, though...there is MORE change. Ryan found out he was being laid off 2 weeks ago! We were completely shocked, because his two main bosses had been saying he was going to get more hours because he was their #1 employee this last year. BUT apparently the big guys, over his two bosses, decided to completely dissolve his territory, and just lay him off instead! He was soooo bummed about it. Still is, but he's looking every day for something to come up, and someone to hire him.

And as you should all know by now, we have a baby coming in July! We aren't sure if it's a boy or girl yet, but we should be finding out by the end of this month, hopefully. We already went to find out, but baby apparently wants to be a surprise, and not show us who they are! :o) So...now we at least know we're getting another teaser, like the almost two year old we already have!!! Yay! ;o)

So, lots of change, some good, some bad, but it will all turn out for the better in the long run. We know we are being watched over and blessed every step of the way! And can't wait for the good to come out of it all! Thank you to everyone who has been praying for us, we feel it, and we are so grateful that you care enough about us to help in the best way possible! Things will be well, we just hope it's sooner rather than later! Of course! :o) We will keep you posted on the happenings, and of course when we find out if we're having another little girl, or a boy!
