17 Week bump and Christmas

Here's the bump at 17 weeks! I can't believe I'm already that far along! It's been flying by! I had my 17 week appt today and everything is looking great and baby's heartbeat is perfect :) I'm feeling good still need a nap somedays but not as horribly exhausted as before. I've been in nesting mode lately and have been decluttering and getting rid of STUFF! It feels soooo good I still have a lot more I want to do but I have to do a little here and there otherwise I'm wiped out by 5:00 and cranky! haha and no one likes a cranky mommy! 

I got a new phone and the camera suuucks but oh well next time maybe I'll use my camera haha
 my Ultrasound appointment is in 3 weeks! the 27th! So excited to see baby! We will NOT be finding out the gender and I'm just as excited to not find out as I usually am to find out! haha funny how that is. I really hope it doesn't get spoiled at our appointment cuz if I see anything I'll know haha hopefully the ultrasound tech will be extra careful not to get any potty shots if at all possible haha



This little Cutie kept posing for pictures for me on Sunday and saying Cheese! haha it was sooo cute how could I resist! After I'd take a few pics she'd come and run over to see them haha


Family Christmas pics!!! 

 Here's the whole family! We got to spend Christmas in Spokane this year! my sister Steph and her bf came up from oregon and my brother Marc and his family came over and we got a great pic! :)  
The grandkids! haha they were done taking pictures at this point haha

 Christmas eve in front of the tree! haha the best picture I got! I swear I had taken some on Lee's phone too but there were none on his phone...I'll have to have my dad text me the one's he took on his phone....maybe they were better lol 
                                                            Cousins!                                                             

                                                 Done playing in the snow for the day hahaha

 Maylee's 1st snowmobile ride. It was short...to the top of the driveway and back haha I don't think she like how loud it was lol 

 The boys on their ride with popa! He took them up and around and all over they had lots of fun! Until a tree dumped a bunch of snow down Drakes coat haha he did not like that and he was done! I don't blame him! haha

We had a really fun and relaxing Christmas break. Minus the puking flu we got! UGH!!! we arrived the evening of the 23rd and that night Lee and I both woke up puking and pooping!!! ugh! soooo not how we had planned to spend our time! Landon threw up too and we thought it was just food poisoning from something we had on the way up but then my dad got it on Christmas and then my sister on Saturday night and then my mom eventually got it too!!  I was so mad we had caught something and then passed it around! we never go anywhere so I don't know where we got it from but we were feeling perfectly fine before then. Anyways... we had a great Christmas played lots of games and put puzzles together got to do lots of shopping and eating food I didn't have to cook! And the kids were spoiled of course! :) Looking forward to the new year and making it even better than the last!

Baby #5 is on the way!!!



I had my first appointment November 11th! I was 9 weeks exactly! 
Here's the cute pics we got of baby #5! 


At the ultrasound appt I met the newest midwife in training...I forget her name....but my regular midwife Rachel was there too and they were letting the new one practice doing ultrasounds so she was doing it but couldn't find the baby and all they were seeing was uterus. Meanwhile I was silently freaking out in my mind...that was fun....then finally Rachel took over and found baby right away! PHEW! then Rachel told me that baby has a blood pocket around them! Resume FREAK OUT! but she quickly calmed my nerves and told me that it's just a random abberation that sometimes happens at implantation and that my body will either get rid of the blood just by bleeding or it will just reabsorb it! So far no blood so I'm assuming it's being reabsorbed! Baby 5 looked great though and the heartbeat was nice and strong! 

I've been nauseous on and off this pregnancy which has now gone away unless I'm hungry. And I have been sooooo exhausted this pregnancy it's been ridiculous! I just can't get enough sleep! Hopefully when the 2nd trimester is in full swing I'll be feeling more energetic! 



12/14/15 13 weeks and 5 days
I had my second appointment on Dec 9th and got to hear that beautiful heartbeat! :) 

This time around we have decided not to find out the gender!!! I'm so excited but that ultrasound day is going to be really hard at the same time! But Lee and I both want to atleast try it out once, not finding out the gender, and I'm super excited and determined! 

I'm going to save up money throughout this pregnancy and just go on a baby shopping spree once baby arrives! In the meantime I'll buy one boy and one girl coming home outfit complete with a blanket and binkys but that's it! Baby will be in our room in the bassinet we have anyways for the first couple months so we'll have time after baby arrives to figure out where baby will sleep when he or she is bigger...and who knows maybe we'll even be lucky enough to have found a bigger house by then too! 


This was our Facebook Announcement that I posted the day after our 2nd appointment....


besides our Christmas card picture this is the only other picture that really turned out! No one wanted to cooperate but I'm glad we at least got one Christmas picture and this announcement picture :) 

here's some individual shots we got of the kids minus drake who was just running around like always haha lol not the greatest but whatever....




 Lee and I got a couple good pictures together which was nice cuz that never seems to happen! We always forget cuz the focus is usually the kids! so it's nice to have some of the two of us. 





Tuesday the 8th was our ward Christmas party and the kids got to meet Santa!

 That was as close as Maylee was getting.....She grabbed the candy cane and ran back to me lol 

Drake was just fine on Santa's lap but was mostly just there to get the candy and then he wanted down! He didn't want to talk to Santa lol 

Zeke was the first to get up and go sit on Santa's lap and he asked Santa for a blue airplane and paint! :) 
Landon was a little shy and nervous to go up and talk to Santa but he was excited at the same time and he asked for a Skateboard.

Cracks me up that my kids were asking for things they hadn't told me about. Hopefully they're not disappointed cuz my shopping is already done! lol 


Well gotta go try to clean house before I need to start dinner! Yay for an update from me! You're Welcome! hahahaha

 playing with her ponies.

Time to wash up! 


These pictures we took the same time we took her cake smash pics I love how cute she is in purple! 








she was getting up and then decided to rest on the balloon like a pillow haha she stayed there for a minute or so it was so funny!

  Maylee and her moose! She got this moose when we went to Bear World with my parents the weekend before and she Loooooves it! She love carrying it around and sleeps with it! haha so cute! She picked it out all by herself at Bear World and just couldn't put it back.

 The smash cake! Pink ombre! we ran out of the pale pink frosting to finish the top haha whoops but we just put that part on the back and you couldn't tell haha

 This cake stuff is fun! 

Happy Birthday to my Maylee Belle! Can't believe it's been a year already!!! 

Her first year in pictures! Apparently I wasn't as consistant as I thought I was for her monthly pics! whoops oh well you can still see her cuteness each month! :) 

I forgot to add that she is already talking she's been saying momma and dada for ever but shortly after that it was pup pup (puppy) then whenever she wants something she reaches her hand out and open and closes her hand saying "ME ME ME ME!" soooo cute hahaha and everything is a "baby" to her. She points at everything and says "baby baby" and just now she learned to say the word Eat! haha
