We're Having Another... Girl!!

Yes we are expecting #3 and although it wasn't planned, since I struggle a bit with the two monsters we already have, we are blessed to be able to have kids and are excited for our young growing family. I had my 18 week ultrasound on Tuesday 4.10.12 and I thought, in all seriousness, that it was going to be a boy. This pregnancy has been so easy it's pretty ridiculous. With Thor, I wasn't sick just really tired and gaggy every now and then. Eva I was sick, throwing up all the time and just not being able to hold anything down. With this pregnancy being so easy I just assumed it was a boy. Boy was I wrong. Even throughout the ultrasound I kept seeing things and thinking "Oh it's a boy". I guess that's why I'm not an ultrasound tech, cuz I really can't tell. Haha. This is what I get for complaining about Eva being the only girl I can handle and that I would like the rest of my kids to be boys. But I am very excited. Growing up I didn't have any biological sisters. I did grow up with my dad's sister who has 6 amazing daughters and I always felt lucky that I was able to spend the time I did with them. So now that I am having 2 girls I'm looking forward to all the good and bad times to come with them. My poor son who already gets bullied by his one sister will definitely have a hard time with 2 baby sisters that he isn't allowed to hit back or be mean to. But in the end, he will still be the only boy (for now) and as spoiled as ever. Once again, I love my FAMILY!! And am so grateful that we will be together for ETERNITY!

Easter 2012

This year we actually went all out for the babies. Last year Thor had just started walking and we "thought" he was too young to be able to enjoy easter and I was 8 months pregnant and huge, so we just didn't do much other than go to our ward Easter Hunt. This Easter we got the kids Easter baskets and had a seperate Easter hunt from our ward one and it was a huge success! Thor is soo funny and adorable and Eva really knew what was going on. At least from what I could see. Lol. She fought me for her dang barbie that I was just trying to get out of the box. She swears she's grown. Haha.

We spent the Saturday before with my family and we were there ALL night. Then Easter Sunday was with my hubby's family. It's amazing how much the focus of my life has changed in the last few years. You know you're single and all you think about is yourself and what you're going to do to have fun yourself. You get married and you think it will be hard to take care of yourself and a husband but it works out. You have kids and it's not even about yourself anymore. Everything revolves around the babies and what to do to get a smile out of them. And they make life matter. I have to admit even getting married I don't think I grew up like I needed to. Having kids definitely helped me grow up and put life into perspective. The greatest gift after gaining an awesome hubby of course, is my babies. Life is really complete once kids come into the picture and I can't wait until the many more to come. ;-)
