thoughts about baby #3 and pregnancy

So here we go again!!

nope it's not Deja'vu....

We will be adding another boy to the family in the later part of the summer. I knew this before the ultrasound, ok not really, but I was 100% prepared for them to say - IT'S A BOY - I am really excited for this baby to join our family and for the Trenton & Jace to have a baby brother. I knew that I was destined to have 3 boys. My dad is boy #3 as is Roger, so it is very fitting.

I am 21 weeks - and the baby is moving like crazy. I love it ( the kicking ) not so much the pregnancy. With Trenton & Jace I enjoyed most all of the pregnancy - This one I have been strugglin'. I think it's just having to keep up with the kids & housework. I already have forgotten the 'sick days' and I am NOT looking forward to the 'uncomfortable / hot days'. Is it weird to say I am glad to be doing this now than later, kind-of like I'm getting 'this' part done & over with?!

I am looking forward to July 31st & moving past being BIG n ROUND :)

a quick trip home

We went home for a quick visit, when I say quick, I mean less than 72 hours. The objective of the trip was to take care of our Audi and get it into the bodyshop, deal with insurance, yada yada yada....The front bumper was damaged by a iced-over snowbank the day before we left for North Dakota.

Really it was an excuse to surprise my parents & get to visit everyone!

We had a blast just being with family & getting to be 'home' for a bit :D

what's up with us these days....

Rewind a bit...............

So since January 1st we have lived in North Dakota.

Things kept getting worse for Roger @ Halliburton in Wyoming, he felt he had to call it quits and start over somewhere else. He was so sick of getting treated the way he was! Looking back to that time in Nov. I was shocked & scared for him to give up a job with benefits in this economy, but I supported his decision and tried not to stress.... after hours upon hours of searching - we found it, well I found it (on craigslist nonetheless). A Job that pays 2- 2.5X more than Halliburton, 10 hours closer to home, constant work & with benefits we don't have to pay for.

SCORE.
