Ultrasounds

This first one is the one I had at 10 weeks. Look how tiny the babies were!

The second is the one I had at 14 (almost 15) weeks. What a difference a month does for these little guys!

14 Week Appointment

I had my 14 week appointment on Friday and we were able to find out the sex of ONE of the babies. We are having ourselves another sweet and precious boy! I can't even wait! Sawyer will have a little buddy to rough up! Oh it makes my heart sing! I wish the other little stinker pot of a baby would have showed us their goods so I could do the rest of the planning but alas, it is a mystery! Hopefully by the time we go in next month we will be able to see the one on top! It was pretty funny cause our little boy was very open about showing us his goods! He was like "Hey mom! Here I am!!! In all my glory!" Sawyer was the same way! I am going to try to find a way to post the ultrasound video cause its really amazing how much they have grown and just to see them! The human body is truly amazing!

Nutrition Or Lack There Of

So I am 13 weeks pregnant and I am STILL sicker than a darn dog. These babies of ours just don't seem to like anything but crap even then they don't like it. Everything healthy that I try to get down (it is hard to eat healthy cause nothing sounds good) always end up in the toilet or on the side of the road. Blah. I am honestly thinking the babies don't want any outside nutrition and just want to suck it from me until there is nothing left of me! lol I have lost 6lbs this pregnancy this far and I am truly hoping I will stop losing and gain maybe a little back for the babies sake. I did learn last night and tonight that they do like steak and A1! I was able to eat that these two nights (and absolutely LOVE it!!) and keep it down! After being able to keep it down last night and enjoying the heck out of it I sent Brandon to the store to get more steaks! I have one for each night of the week!!! Hoo-raw! Just hope I don't run out of A1..... That would be all sorts of bad news.

My next doctor appointment is on the 19th and I can't even wait! The nurse said that if the babies cooperate we could find out what sex they are! How friggin fantastic would that be?! I can't wait to start kind of buying a few little items for them! And if we find out before Thanksgiving I can hopefully find some awesome deals on Black Friday!! Woot Woot! Excitement!

Here is a picture of my growing belly.

I was 12 weeks and 3 days.

This weekend Brandon went through out food storage and got rid of tons and tons of food. What a sad sight that was. It is almost painful to have to just throw away food. Such a waste. Now we are writing everything we have so we will know what we have, when it expires, and when we will need more. While Brandon was doing this I tried to work on the computer room. Finished the filing so we can get rid of our monstrous filing cabinet and hopefully this week we can move the computer downstairs and start working on Sawyer's new big boy room!! That is my goal anyway. I am still looking for him a new bed. I thought I wanted just another toddler bed but think I am going to get him a twin bed since he is almost too big for his toddler bed already but it would work out great to use at grandma's house. Found a headboard but not a bed frame.

On the potty front I feel almost defeated some days. Potty training is tough! I wasn't expecting him to be potty trained over night or anything but I was hoping after a few weeks of repetitive potty going he would start to get the hang of it. Not so much. I still take him to the potty every hour (and I am pretty darn good at doing it every hour not perfect but good) and yet his pull-ups are always wet. Every time. He even still goes #2 in them which is the worst!! I try to watch him so when he does the hiding and grunting I rush him to the toilet but I haven't been able to get him there in time a lot recently. He never tells me he needs to go. When does that kick in? When I first started potty training I just got him some regular big boy underpants but they don't catch anything so he was urinating on the floor.... a lot. So I went to pull-ups. Bad thing about these is I think they make him think he is just in a diaper so it doesn't matter if he goes potty in them. My friend Camie gave me a pair of padded training pants. They are just like regular underpants but have padding in the crotch area so it helps catch the urine so it doesn't get all over. I tried looking for some at the stores but noone seems to sell them so I ordered some online. I am hoping that that helps him to realize going potty in them is a no no. Keeping my fingers crossed!

The 1st Touch

I had a wonderful experience this morning. I woke up when Brandon's alarm went off so after he left I decided to be lazy and just lay in bed. I rolled on my side and began to pet Taya when I felt some pushing in the middle upper half of my tummy. I brought my hand to where I felt the tightening and felt something hard. As I explored it more I noticed it was a round hard spot and suddenly it dawned on me that it was one of my babies heads!! I got so excited so I lightly pushed on it to see if it would move and it just kinda fluttered a bit. I started feeling the rest of my tummy and went along the side and felt something hard that was about 4 or so inches. I think it was the other babies back!! Then they just slowly moved to behind my belly button and around! It was so awesome!! I've had kind of a hard time with this pregnancy so far cause I have been really sick but feeling my babies with my hand made me completely forget about any of the bad things!! So amazing!

Halloween 2010

We got to grandma sit this last Thursday and while we were at my mom's we decided to carve our pumpkins! Sawyer wasn't into it as much as we were hoping but next year he should really love it.

He did enjoy the taste of the pumpkin though!

Here is Brandon carving his pumpkin. Turned out really neat.

I did a phantom. Turned out ok...

I tried to do a kitty with the moon in the background for Sawyer's but I cut off the tail. So he got mine!! He loved blowing out the candles in the pumpkin. Silly kid!

Since Halloween was on a Sunday we celebrated Saturday night. Course during the day it was find outside and right as trick or treating time rolled around it turned to rain. We ran to my mom's house and she was bent cause she wasn't going to be able to take him out trick or treating. She did get to see him in his costume though. He was a tiger! He wouldn't hold still long enough for me to get a really good picture but here are a few...

Normally I am a HUGE Halloween fan but being pregnant and sick has put a damper on things this year for me. I was lazy and I just wore a pair of onesie pj's and did my hair in braids and went as a very tired pregnant woman!! lol Brandon on the other hand had a great costume. He was Malcolm Reynolds from the TV series Firefly. If you haven't watched that series you should! lol

After we left my mom's we went to our friend Bryant and Liz's house for a party. Nobody was there but us. It had stopped raining so Brandon decided to take Sawyer around for his first trick or treating experience. I stayed at the house and ate veggies. I wasn't feeling great. They were gone for a good 45 minutes and when Sawyer came back his bucket was full! He wouldn't let it go either. Brandon said that he asked him if he wanted daddy to carry it for him but he said "No" and held it even when it go full and heavy! Cute little stinker! We had nice relaxing time at the party. Not many people came so it was chill and nice. Watched Young Frankenstein, ate, and talked. It was a wonderful night I thought! I was really glad I didn't have the party this year. I wouldn't have been a good hostess this year. Once 11 rolled around I would have kicked everyone out! lol I'm crabby that way!! Next year will be nuts though! We'll have a 3 year old and 2 6 month olds!!!!! WOOOOOOW!
