A Much Needed Family Day!!!

This last weekend was the first Saturday that we had NOTHING that needed to be done in a very long time. We have been so busy with packing, moving, new house and then the building that is to come that our family time has unfortunately been limited. We have no time just the three of us anymore...not even in the evenings because we don't live in our own place right now. I am so grateful for our family (Mark's parents) and the sacrifice they have made to allow us to live here but I would be lying through my teeth if I said that I didn't horribly miss my little family of three and OUR time together. And when we move into our new home...we will be a family of four. It just hit me that our time as a threesome has come to and end and now I am crying...big suprise...hormones! But it is very sad for this momma to realize that and very exciting as well to start our new phase of life.

Anyway...the point of this post was to tell of our wonderful family day. Tyce LOVES airplanes and helicoptors. He can't get enough...so, we took him to the Hill Air Force Museum here in Roy. We drive past nearly every day but in 8 years...we have never been. Tyce loved it. He was totally into it and pointed out everything. When we found a really BIG plane...he would say "woah, that big airplane...that's daddy's airplane"! And a small one was "that's Tyce's airplane!" So sweet!

After our outing to the museum, we went a got a treat...a frazil (like a mister misty that dairy queen has). They are so good and it was a hot day! We loved our time as a family and I hope we can find more time this summer for days like that!

Belly Pics...Get out the sun glasses!!!

This little boy is just growing and growing! I am entering the beginning of my 5th month and I LOVE my little belly! Some might say big but I think of where I will be in 4-5 more months and this is going to feel very little! I am starting to feel movement but am still looking forward to those distinct kicks and punches. Hopefully they are only a few weeks away...or less!

P.S. Don't make fun of our "room/bedding decor"...I packed away all the cute stuff! Oh yea, and apparantly I can't hold the camera still enough. Next time I will get Mark to take some "clear" pics!

Names...what do you think?

Okay...so, Mark and I have FINALLY agreed on two possible names for this little boy in my tummy!!! What do you all think?

Korve Jensen or Kayze Jensen

We are thinking no middle name but that may change! So, what do you think? Or if you have any other boy names you love...let us know!

Have a great day!

It's a...

BOY!!!!!!!!! We are so excited for Tyce to have a little buddy/brother...and Mark will gain one more member of his future construction crew!! I was sooooooooo wrong...I was convinced it was a girl for no particular reason really, just a feeling. Apparently I don't know what I am talking about...just don't tell Mark that!

We are so happy and this is a great time for us! Thanks to all of you for your support and prayers. What a miracle!!

God Bless!

I MADE IT!!!

To my second trimester!! Statistics now show a 90% chance of carrying this baby to term!!! I would be lying if I didn't feel very nervous and worried about loosing this baby in the first trimester. I am feeling much more comfortable now. The coolest thing happened the other day though...I felt the "quickening" feeling in my lower belly. Like some butterflies were flapping their wings inside me...it was really cool. I have only felt it twice and only when I am PERFECTLY still! Amazing!

Our next appointment is next Tuesday, the 29th and as long as the baby cooperates, we should be able to find out the sex of the baby!! I still really think that it is a girl but I guess we will see won't we? I am so excited to know!

More updates will come next week and we will start debating names!! Oh so much fun!

Belly Pics!! 12 1/2 Weeks Preggo!

I figured since I have really pooched out this week that I should take some pics! Tyce is in awe of my belly and is always touching it and kissing it so I got some of those on camera! Such an exciting time! Sorry I am in my jammies...but not really! Yea for baby bumps!

My sickie boy...

Oh...will it ever end? Tyce woke up yesterday with goop dried all over his face from his ear. A few minutes later he came to me and said..."mommy, go to doctor, fix my ear". So sad that he knows this but I am very glad that he can tell me. So, off to the doctor we go. He looked in his ears and listened to his lungs. The diagnosis...swollen inflammed ears and a need for a chest x-ray. Okay. So, off to the x-ray department we go. I couldn't stay in there since I am pregnant so out the door I go while my little baby is on a cold table looking up at a huge machine hovering over him. The tech was very sweet and great with Tyce, still I was expecting a fuss...instead, what did I hear? My brave little man in the room saying "CHEESE" to the x-ray camera! Amazing! I have such an amazing boy. Everyone said so...it's not just my opinion! He is so good for the doctor and never puts up a fuss.

So, we are back in the room waiting on the doctor. And what does he have? A mild case of pneumonia. WHAT...how can he get that? My poor sick boy, who by the was runs around like a totally healthy 2 year old, now has to have his 5th round of antibiotic in 5 months and more ear drops.

Please pray that this is the end! We have moving to do, etc. No time to be sick.
