Wiggly One Inch Baby

This isn't my baby of course but this is what an almost 10 weeker looks like!
That is what I saw in my belly today! It was darling! It was wiggling and squirming around in my tummy during the ultrasound. I swear ultrasounds must bother babies because Griff was so wild when I had my u/s with him. He kept hiding and moving away. Anyway, things looked good to me. I got to see and hear the heartbeat (180bpm) so it is finally real now! I am expecting a call from my doctor to make sure the ultrasound tech didn't see anything abnormal. As far as the baby goes, it was a little cutie! I made Maddy go along with me for moral support and a learning experience. I think she enjoyed it! Kason was bummed that he missed out but I have a cute picture hanging on my fridge for him to see. Here we go on this crazy and long journey called pregnancy. This has been a rough one so far but I am finally over the sick part I think, yayy!
Update:
The baby seemed fine and I got a call that everything looked normal. I am still having occasional spotting so who knows what that is all about! The baby was measuring small so they changed my due date from September 18th to September 22nd. So, no birthday baby but maybe!

So Much Different.....Baby Girl?



So I have been so much more sick this time around! Nothing sounds good to eat so I eat nothing and just end up feeling worse. My last couple meals have been saltines and 7 up and I am already over that stuff. Kason keeps telling me that he will go and get anything I want, anything and I STILL can't think of a thing. It is terrible! I am sick to my stomach all day everyday. Of course I am getting the whole "Then, it's a girl!" remark from people. Let me just tell you all, I am okay with having a girl, I really am. Girls just make me so nervous! I have met a lot of crazy girls in my life and they have terrified me into not wanting girls. I am wanting a boy for my bank accounts sake too :) These babies will be born in the same season so if it's a boy I can re-use all the same clothes. I really want Griff to have a brother to play with and be close to. I am sure he could be close to a girl but there is something about a brother that I think would be so fun for him. So, there ya have it. I am okay with having a girl I swear. I don't want her to be a girl who is too dolled and dressed up though. I hate dresses, bows and hair thingies on myself so I am definitely not putting that foo foo stuff on my baby girl. I am just not a dress up kind of girl! I am a tomboy at heart so none of that stuff please! She would wear pink and what not but that's about it. I have no idea what this baby will be. I had no clue with Griff so I am sure I won't have mother's intuition this time. We will find out in September along with everyone else!

Griffin at 16 months (almost!)


I have to blog some of this stuff because I am terrible at keeping a journal! Griffin is getting so fun and saying so many words right now. We have to watch what we say because he copies us and says what we say so well. It is crazy! Today I got him to point at himself and say his name. He pointed at his chest and said "Pippy." Haha. It sounded so much like his name but it wasn't. Just seeing him try was so cute. He LOVES dogs still and is obsessed with tractors, buses and big semi/work trucks. He is such a boy and I LOVE that about him. He could spend hours on end outside or at the park. He constantly brings us our shoes and says clear as day "outside." He asks for juice, milk and yellow (yogurt). He also says "eat" and "show" when he is ready for his afternoon snack. I let him watch a little kids show in his high chair while he has his snack. He is starting to get into shows and pay attention and he mimics words he hears on TV. We took him to a cabin in Zion this weekend along with some 4 wheelers and he stood by the door constantly and said "ride, ride, ride" over and over again. He LOVES the 4 wheelers so we took him on about 10 rides while we were there. He was in heaven! He is such a loving boy and plants kisses on you when you least expect it. He misses his dad while he is working in Bryce and constantly says his name followed by "bye bye." It is kind of sad! The other morning when I went to get him up he rolled back over and said "night night." It was so funny! He knew he wanted to stay in his bed and sleep haha. He is such a sweet, fun little boy. We adore him! He cracks us up on a daily basis. Other things....He makes about 7 or 8 animal noises, calls his wee wee "dadda", picks up trash and makes a funny sound in his throat to tell me that it's trash or yucky, he crows back at the roosters across the street, he goes crazy for airplanes and stops and looks at every single one, he says HI to everyone that walks by our house or anyone new that shows up at the park, he still LOVES his night time bottle and calls it "bobble-night night", he runs like the wind everywhere he goes. I might have to add more things as I think of them. I don't want to forget this adorable little boy and all the silly things he does!
