it's a BOY

That is right! Yesterday we went and found out we are having a little boy and we are so excited! There was no doubt in our minds once the image came up and I yelled out "it's a wiener." Brent laughed at me and the ultra sound lady thought I was crazy.

The pictures are a little small but isn't he adorable. And those long legs...I don't know where he got those from?

HELP

So for those of you who dont know I was let go at work. They said that since I could not work full time after the baby they did not want to keep me around. DUMB! So now I just sit around ALL day bored as ever. I thought it would not be that bad but in the past couple of weeks we have had SO many unexpected bills that need to be paid. I have become extreamly stressed out which I know is bad for the baby but I cant help it. With me not working and Brent working part time we are living off our savings and money will dry up at some point. So I am asking if anyone knows of any job that is hiring let me know. I am not picky and can work just about any hours. Or if anyone has ideas of things I could do from home I am open to anything.

Butterflys

Dear Baby Lewis

Mom would like to know what on earth you are doing in there? You are only 16weeks old but I
can feel you moving already. It feels like butterflys have taken over my tummy. Every time I try to have dad feel it you stop moving. I think it is a little game you like to play! I can see you now my little mischievous one playing tricks on mom and dad. The past couple of weeks you have given us a scare with the bad cramps, killer back pain and shooting pain down my leg, but you were probably just trying to make my tummy more comfortable. You FINALLY let me stop throwing up and put on 3lbs. Now I am starting to fill out more, and soon I could actually look pregnant! Mom and dad love you so much. Dad insists you only listen to GOOD music so he puts Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon on my tummy and you seem to like it. Dad already is speaking to you in Portuguese and slowly I am learning too. Five more months in my tummy and then it will be your big day. And dont forget Dec 21, give us a clear so we can see if you are a boy or girl! Try to be kind and gentle when you do arrive and not be over 8lbs. I dont think I can give birth to a 10lbs baby! Remember mom and dad love you and want you to grown big and strong!

Love MOM

THANKSGIVING 2009

Cartwheels

So this past week has been a roller coaster. I have been throwing up 2-3 times a day and hungry as ever. Today I went to the doc for my 13 week check up and all is good. I am O Negative blood type so if Brent has positive blood I have to get a shot at 7months if we plan on having any more babies. Notice how I put the word IF....Yes 1 may be enough for me if being pregnant means being miserable. I told Brent my idea and he just looked at me, so I don't think he likes it.

Since my first visit I have lost some weight so the doc put me on Zofran to try and help me keep stuff down. I sure hope it works. We also listened to the babies heart beat and the doc made the comment "Wow sure sounds like an active one!" NOOOOO! Looks like baby Lewis is already doing cartwheels in my tummy and there is nothing we can do to stop the little thing. I also got the H1N1 shot. I was scared to at first but I figured what is the worst that can happen? At least I wont become a little piggy!

We have prepared ourselves that the baby is most likely a girl since the doc said he thinks it is and everyone else does to. Get ready for the most blinged out girl ever. We might as well name her sparkle because she will always have her accessories. Lets just hope she checks her attitude at the door.

So there is not much to see just the start of a bump.

So it has been a LONG time since my last post so here is an update.

The past few weeks have been brutal. I have been sick 24/7 throwing up or on the verge. It has been terrible. Thankfully Brent and Charlie have been here for me. Charlie will lick my feet while I am face down in the toilet and Brent will bring me a drink and rub my tummy when I am done. I don't want to jinx myself but it has been 4 days since I last threw up. YAY!

We found a cute crib and changing table on craigslist for $150 and it is in awesome condition! The nursery is starting to have some life in it.

So I have been thinking alot of how our baby will be. Will it look more like me or Brent? Will it be a boy or a girl? And most of all will it have the energy both Brent and I had growing up? I think of our poor mothers having to deal with all of our energy and trying to keep us entertained....Oh I hope our baby will be calm and not full on energy.

The one thing I think about most is how much baby Lewis is going to be loved. With all the aunts, uncles and cousins our baby will have tons of friends. And with a mom and dad who are silly, there will NEVER be a dull moment in our babies life. So keep on growing my little baby get nice and strong so mommy and daddy can love you to pieces when you get here!

baby Lewis at 8 weeks! Can you see it?

Blessed

So yesterday we were traveling west on the us 60 and were in a BAD accident. We switched into the far right lane and realized there was a desk in our lane. Brent swerved to avoid the desk but lost control of the Tahoe. We went from the far right lane all the way to the other side crashing into the cement median. We hit the front passenger side then bounced and ended up facing on coming traffic with the back end of the Tahoe smashed against the median. I remember it being silent as we were heading to the median. I thought no one can live after hitting this right? So right before we hit it I yelled out "Heavenly Father please protect us and let us live." He did! The Tahoe is a hunk of metal. The rims were ripped off lug nuts still in place. ITS A MIRACLE WE ARE OK. Our backs and necks hurt and I have a cut on my foot but that is all. We went to see how the baby was today and its fine. Healthy as can be! It measured 1/2inch and had a heart beat of 150. YAY! I don't know why Heavenly Father saved us but I sure am glad he did. I am grateful i still have my AMAZING husband and my baby. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers it means so much to us!

Sunday September 20
The night before I had decided I was going to take a pregnancy test, so when I woke up at 3am and had to go I made myself close my eyes and go back to sleep. So 6am rolls around and I know its time. I do the potty dance as I shimmy off my pants. I unwrap the test and do my thing. The first line is there saying I took the test right. That was a relief. After flushing and going about what you do after you use the bathroom I took a peek at the test"+". What already no way I went and sat on the bed for about 2min. I went back into the bathroom and there it was clear as day PREGNANT! I ran back into the bedroom screaming "BRENT BRENT I AM PREGNANT!" He sat up half asleep and said cool then went back to sleep. I was not happy with this response so I jumped on the bed and started dancing. I told him to come look he said bring it here. I reminded him there is pee on it so he got up looked at the test and smiled. Then we went back to the bed and snuggled. After about 10min of that I was ready to call and tell everyone. Brent said we should wait a while and think of a cool way to do it. Well I couldn't hold it in. I called my mom and 630am and told her, she cried. Then she reminded me that I need to take it easy because there is a chance I may not carry to full term. I knew this was a huge possibility but I was so excited I didn't care. So now a week later I can tell everyone....I AM PREGNANT! I am so excited and happy I don't even know what to say except this is a huge blessing and a miracle and I am enjoying EVERY second of it.
