Updated Belly Picture

So I haven't really done a very good job at taking pictures of the progression of my belly. I took one when I was still small, and now I've got a big belly, but I guess I still have a ways to go since I have gained 8 pounds so far and am 7 months along. I can't wait! This picture was taken at about 27 weeks. And of course Shady had to be in the picture.

And I'm back

I know I have not updated my blog in a really long time, I apologize. The last several months have been a little bit hectic, we moved in with Jason's parents so that we could look for a better place to live. We were unsatisfied with our last house because the rent was too high and we had no way to contain our dog who jumps six foot walls. We found a new place to live that is much nicer than our last place, cheaper rent, and has a kennel to keep our dogs in and a nice big back yard for them to run around in. We love the new house and are excited to be in a place of our own again. We moved in right before Christmas and have been busy ever since. So that is why I have not updated our blog. We still don't have internet at our house but I will do my best to keep our blog updated now that life has calmed down a bit. Here are a few pics of our dogs, they sure keep us entertained while we are waiting for this baby of ours to come!

Our Poor Charlie, his life was so much better when Shady wasn't around

Charlie's Eeyore look "thanks for noticing me"

Look at how she is sitting, isn't she such a funny weird dog?

This is where Shady would hide at Jason's parent's house when she knew she was in trouble.

Vote for the best Pumpkin!

Jason and I hadn't carved pumpkins since we were really young so we decided it would be fun to do this year. Anyway so we turned it into a sort of competition...so vote which one you think is better. Mine is the Scooby Doo (which really looks like Tigger) pumpkin, and Jason's is the scary face one. Regardless of who wins...we had fun :)!!

Attempting to take a family picture with the dogs....I doubt kids will be much more cooperative!

Sedona and Slide Rock

Jason and Ihad a little getaway this last weekend and stayed in Flagstaff after our Doctor's appt. We went down to Sedona and Slide Rock and did a little sight seeing. It was absolutely gorgeous! It was so nice to get to just be in nature and relax! On Thursday we went to the Petrified Forest right by Holbrook becaues I had never been there, so you can see Holbrook has its own beauty to it, but you can definitely tell the difference between Holbrook and Sedona haha! Here are some pictures from the weekend!

St Patty's Day Baby

We're having a baby boy!!! Jason is convinced that its all the talking he did to my tummy that we are having a boy. He would say " Baby I know you are probably a girl but try really really hard to be a boy." It was really cute. We are both very excited, he will have lots of little boy cousins to wrestle with! The unltrasound experience was really exciting, once I was able to relieve my bladder though! We got there around 10:15 and weren't seen until 11:00 and that was only after Jason worked his magic and got us in there. About half way through the ultrasound the tech asked if I could be still and I said I'm so sorry I am trying my best I just really have to go to the bathroom, and she said well go then, I'm sorry! She ran the monitor over to my bladder and said, oh you need to go now! Haha, and then said she didn't know why they told me I had to drink so much water and hold it, that it wasn't necessary for how far along I was. Argh! All that stress for nothin! Oh well, but after that I was able to enjoy the experience a lot more. It still amazes me that I have a little baby growing in my stomach, what a miracle! They said that I measured about 3 days earlier than my previous due date, so I am due on March 17th, St. Patty's Day! We are hoping for a little red headed baby leprauchan!

Delay

For those of you who have been wondering what we are having....we had to reschedule our appointment to next Friday because Jason couldnt get work off yesterday, and its one of those things that I didn't want him to miss since it will probably be our only unltrasound. Anyway, stay tuned until next week to see if we will have a little mini baby Jason or a little mini baby Katie :)!!!

Family
