he has a name
Well late last night we finally decided on our little boys name. Christopher James.
We figured this was the best one yet and we liked how it sounded and it's nice to finally be able to say a name when we're talking to him. Kylee was sick again today..poor baby. She's in bed early but it's good b/c we have to be up early in the am to leave for the Level II Ultrasound which is about an hour away so.
Well I just wanted to update with that...I'm tired and wanna get to bed so I"ll update tomorrow or Wed.

Crazy kicker
Well it is more evident that he is making himself known these past few weeks. Last night he was kicking so hard he was making my stomach bounce and Gary finally was able to put his hand on my belly to have him feel the baby kicking haha. But the baby must of realized b/c he went to my other side and hid haha. I notice the only time he really starts kicking HARD is at night when I"m settled down on the couch watching a show before I head into bed. He's a crazy little man haha. Last night we looked up some more names again and narrowed it down to Cody and Christopher. Maybe tonight we can figure out which so we can start calling him something instead of baby boy and "bro" as Kylee calls him but it is her brother so haha.
Kylee is doing what those terrible two's talk about haha. Constantly throwing fits about nothing half the time and regardless of when she wakes up naptime is still the same and man was she ready. you can tell when she's tired b/c nothing to her is working right so hopefully she'll lay down a bit and relax that way I can get a few things done that I want to finish and then we can play when she gets up. Yesterday I played in her bedroom with her so that she could get used to being in there with her bed and maybe work her to it and she actually played on it for a minute and laid on it but for those 2 seconds that was good enough haha. She's also becoming picky about the few shows she does like..it only has to be that ONE character on it..otherwise you gotta keep rewinding or find one where that character is the main focus..otherwise a meltdown happens haha. She is also showing her girl side and insists that she talks on the phone lol.
I am feeling pretty good. I am loving feeling the baby kick all the time and I am really showing now. I just turned 6 months so only 3 more months to go. I notice I am getting tired more often during the day and at night I am DEFINATELY ready for bed. My back is also hurting awful..but it's where I had my epidural put in with Kylee and man that part of my back throbs..but it's all worth it in the end. I am getting more anxious now to have him come already. I just want to see what he looks like and hold him. I am betting he'll be a bigger baby than his sister which won't be hard..she was only 4lbs so he's got a chance haha. Well I gotta get my things done so I"ll update more later

new big girl bed
Yesterday we had quite the day. We got up and figured we'd be home for the day and we got some of our taxes back O YA..haha so we went out and went to visit Gary's great grandmother to tell her that we are having a baby and man was she excited. Everytime I see her she always tells me to tell her we're pregnant haha...and this time we got to say yes and she was so surprised and so happy..she was hugging us both and talked about it the whole time. We took her with us to go see Gary's grandmother and hung out there then took Gram back to her home and we proceeded to Wal-Mart to look around. I had seen a toddler bed online that I really liked better than most and they actually had it in stock YAY..We chose the Cherry finish b/c we both like that wood better and we tried walking around a bit after we bought it and she just wouldn' t behave so we left..first time ever haha. We get home and Gary gets her bed together and at first she was impressed..she played on it and laid on it but when bedtime came it was NOT going to work with her haha. She acted terrified of it and I think it was just so different to her. She couldn't get that she could get off herself and just bawled so we let her go in her crib so she'd at least sleep b/c she was just so upset she wouldn't even go near her room. So tomorrow while we're home all day I'll work with her on nap time and try bedtime and just keep trying..it's a process..she'll get used to it. We're glad we are doing this now so she's adjusted by the time her brother makes his appearance. We also decided to get it sooner b/c the other night we had put her to bed and came out in the living room to watch a show and after maybe 5 minutes..we heard this awful bang and the both of us just about knocked each other out running to her room and she had managed to get out of her crib and was standing on the floor crying. She had snuck her football in bed and stood on it to shimmy out...couldn't believe it..so now we do a BETTER check of her bed haha so she isn't hiding anything to get out with.
My drs. finally called and my Level II Ultrasound is set for this coming week. We are just hoping everything checks out well. They told us to not worry so we're doing our best not too. Which is not easy. He is constantly moving and at night of course when I'm trying to sleep he starts in..haha figures..just like his sister did..that and everytime I stand up I gotta pee..that is getting old fast haha. I miss standing up to do something and being able to go sit down and I gotta go like 5 darn times before I even go to bed or bother to get comfortable haha.
Today we are going to my parents house for the day. My mom and sister and her friend are on their way now and my mom will finally get to see our new couches. She hasn't been here in awhile so it'll look COMPLETELY different haha. And Kylee will be able to show them her new big girl bed. I figure if I have her make a big deal of it to someone she might see that it's not that bad. Worth a shot. My dad is leaving work early to see us too YAY...and when gary gets over there tonight we'll have to do our grocery shopping..o joy haha. Well I probably should head off..I gotta finish my list..and get my stuff together before they all get here.

Here we are again
Man I feel awful for not even posting in this as of yet..ugh..I am already 23 weeks in..cannot believe it. Gary and I found out that we are having a boy this time around..CANNOT WAIT..so Kylee will be a big sister now to her little brother or Bro as she calls him. It's so cute b/c she kisses my belly and knows who is in there. Gary and I are both so happy b/c we wanted one of each and we got our wish. When we had our ultrasound the lady could tell right away he was a boy and he is always moving now. He is alot lower than Kylee was and man do I feel it haha. Everytime i stand up I gotta run to the bathroom. Gary has been able to feel him kick already. I feel so much bigger in my belly this time than I did with Kylee..and I imagine he'll be a bigger baby than she was. Both our parents are excited and my parents took it EXTREMELY well this time. My mom and my dad were so excited to be having another grandchild. We think Kylee is going to take it well. She loves babies and is very gentle with them so I think she'll be a great big sister. The only name we've agreed on so far is Cody..either starting with a C or K...and it is so hard I find to name a little boy..there are a good amount of names but none that we really care for. He'll be due June 14th..but b/c I had a c-section and problems last time he'll be born a week earlier than the due date for the scheduled c-section unless I go on my own..which I hope I dont' haha. That just terrifies me. All our big stuff is neutral so we are safe there..and we still have the infant car seat..but we just need boy bedding and some more boy clothes and a lifetime supply of diapers haha. I found at the beginning of this pregnancy that I was ALWAYS sick to my stomach and could barely eat b/c I could keep NOTHING down..and the thought of fast food and sweets disgusted me..WOW . But after about 3 months I went back to liking my fast food haha and of course the sweets. Lately I've just been wanting chocolate and char-grilled burgers haha. But I eat heathly for the most part so cheating a bit is alright. I am not gaining weight like crazy..heck I lost a pound last appt. Odd.. I dont' go back until March 3rd and we also have to have a Level II Ultrasound b/c they noticed something on his heart..and Kylee also had the same thing when I was pregnant wtih her but it turned out to be nothing and they told me to not worry..but umm..ya how can you not..it's nice to have the reassurance that everything will be ok but you still worry regardless. His first ultrasound checked out perfect though and his heartbeat is always good so I feel better about that. Last appt. he was such a wriggle worm. He would constantly move away from the heart doppler and Kylee had this look of awe on her face listening to it haha it was so cute. I can remember listening to her in there.
Kylee is growing soo fast. She's already over a year and a half and is already potty training..she did it all on her own. She loves to sit up on the big potty..she has her own royal throne potty haha but finds the big one better. She goes on it all day long and we're so proud. She has a very wide vocabulary and amazes us each and every day. I still stay home with her which we're happy I can and lately she's been such the Daddy's girl. this morning she got up and expected him to be home b/c he was yesterday and man was she ticked when she wasn't haha..she'll be glad to see him when he does get home though. I can't get over how much Kylee is growing. It makes me sad sometimes but she makes me proud none the less. She went from this little 4lb baby to this tall 27 lbs. one year old haha. She never stops and goes all day. The other night..we had put her to bed and were watching one of our shows before heading to bed and we heard this awful bang. We both went running and she had managed to climb out of her crib. She stood there crying and of course my legs were like jelly when we got there and I did feel better though after checking her over knowing she was ok. Soo the time is coming for her to get a big girl bed. WE already plan on getting her one before the baby is born so she has time to adjust.
Well I guess I should be off...I wanna finish my dishes before Gary gets home..hopefully early again. Oo and btw..he is the sweetest...the day before Valentine's Day he worked and called to tell me he had to run to another store before coming home which was no biggie so he gets home and gets Kylee from her nap and she comes running into me with a Kay Jewelers bag and a box all wrapped up. I was shocked and wondered how the heck she got that and he came in smiling and had me open it. He got me the Journey Diamond Heart necklace which is absolutely GORGEOUS. I was so shocked..he wanted to give it to me early b/c he couldn't wait haha. For Valetine's day though we went and had to do our usual errand running but he also took both his girls (kylee and I of course haha) out for lunch which I could taste..YAY..I just got over a cold so it was nice to taste again haha. He is definately the best man I could ever imagine being with. ..ok ok..I should go now..just wanted to brag...do I have the best family or what haha. I am unbelievably blessed.
