20 weeks!!

Im officially half way there!! YAY!! I feel like its still forever away!! It kinda is but atleast now I get to feel her kicking. I get to see her about every two weeks too! Last November I had surgery on my cervix and its shorter than normal. So every two weeks I have to go in and pay $50 for a cervical check. Its borderline on being to short. So they are monitoring how well it will hold the weight of the baby as she grows. If it seems to become a problem Lucky me gets a few stiches to help hold the weight =( so I dont go into labor to soon or whatever. The reason they dont do it anyways instead of seeing me ALL the time is because sometimes while stitching they could break you water.. and we dont want that. So hopefully all keeps looking borderline and not needing any further help along =) Im feeling good now. Tired here and there as usual but ok. Im feeling the weight gain and not loving it but thats life for ya.. and soo worth it for new little babies!

Our Christmas!!

This year was a little more relaxed than past.. and we LOVED it. Christmas Eve we went to my parents and had Mexican food instead of the traditional since weve been having that SOO much lately with all the different families and festivites. It was yummy!! Then the kids swapped presents and the Adults played White Elephant (I got Battle of the sexes game so we played that too).


After that it was off to put the boys to sleep so santa could come! We had the boys camp out in our room since they wake up so early and would be sneaking out before I would get to see their reaction. It was really fun being sneaky =) We were finally off to bed and the boys slept in longer than I did. Come 7:45a I woke them up cause I was anxious!! Jaiden was sad he thought Santa didnt come. They were pretty stoked when they saw all the fun stuff under the tree. They both got new bikes too!! I made a big breakfast and our day consisted of NOTHING =) We played with the new toys and watched tv and did no cleaning, besides the wrapping paper and boxes! It was IDEAL!That was our first Christmas like this, I loved not having anywere to go or nothing to do.





Saturday we had Christmas with Petes family.We brought over their bikes to play with the cousins.

We took all the kids to see Bedtime stories. That night it was time for presents. The boys got lots of awesome stuff but their favorites were their new teeny skateboards and their batman toys!


All in all we had a wonderful, relaxing, family spent holiday! Im bummed it over but glad time is flying by, anxious to meet this baby and all! Hope everyone had a Great One!

Sanders Christmas Party

Saturday was my Dads side of the family's Christmas party( lots of the family lives out of state so werent able to be there). We played White Elepahnt and had lots of fun. My Grandma is soo crafty and made Jean blankets for EACH family (thats 32 Jean Quilts total!!) soo she obviously had put alot of work into it all year long. Each one seemed to fit perfect to that family. Mine had Cats and Dogs on the front side (Which my boys LOVE).




Thanks again Grandma.. Ive always wanted a Jean Blanket.

With my Cute Neice Kaelyn

For Jaidens Birthday and to Visit Petes Family we headed up to California on Thursday (Since were now lacking the Tahoe and our other car trunk barely holds the stroller, my parents were awesome enough to let us borrow their suburban, Thanks!!) Jaiden knew we were going on a trip but not to see the cousins and NOT to Disneyland. Pete wanted him blind folded when going into Disneyland, and he was a good sport. After having his beanie pulled down for the whole drive in, walk in, tram ride, tickets... and whatever else, he was half asleep when he finally could take a peek. But he was still excited. It ended up being busy, but me brother in law pushed me around in a wheel chair since im TECHNICALLY suppose to still be taking it kind of easy. So we didnt wait more than 10 min in any line =). Thanks Wayne!! The weather was chilly but not windy at all so it was actually nice!

Cousins


Heres Rylan acting dead after Jaiden shot him (He fakes dead or asleep SOO well, and will lay there for like 30 second.. It hilarious how good he is at it.

Boy or Girl?!?!?

ITS A GIRL!!!



** Pete had to work so Amber and Tara were able to go with me cause Amber knew I wouldnt want to go to an appointment like this one by myself =) Soo we get back there and the nurse gets into position (I have two boys and knew immediately) My heart starts POUNDING and Im about the cry.. at the same exact moment Amber makes a little eek sound =) We both knew right away but of course the nurse kept checking diferent angles to make sure. I couldnt help and the tears started rolling down. I cant explain how excited I am!!! Before I left the office I have 3 missed calls. Pete, Cystal, and Celestial. Amber told me there was no way I could just tell Pete over the phone... but he kept calling. I know he was anxious too =) I called Pete and acted upset that the babies legs were in the way, and to top it off Tara and Amber had come. He kinda laughed and we talked for a minute. Tara had to take off to work so me and Amber hit up the Target down the street looking for cute Girl stuff to tell Pete. We could find much we liked but I found a Shirt (24 month) that says Im a Daddys Girl and some other cute stuff. When he came home the bag was sitting waiting for him with the ultrasound picture inside. His hands were completely dirty, so I had to pull all the stuff out to show him.

On another cool baby note: Ive felt the baby kick a TINY bit here and there but last night she was moving around a bunch (Still soft little movements) but soo fun to feel her.

Soccer Party/Dulaney Christmas

Weekends Always seem soo busy for us. And then when we aren't go go go it seems I have all kinds of errands to run or somehting. Well this weekend wasnt any different. I leave out the non sense stuff that dont matter =) Saturday the boys had their soccer party from last season at the coaches house. Pizza and cake (Huge backyard with tons of kids stuff) and they got their trophies and pictures. Coach put together a cd for keepsakes. It has all the kids photos with names and then a bunch of pictures through out the season. I was kinda ba hum bug about going (That seems to happen ot me alot this pregnancy) but ended up having a good time and glad we went.
(Coach giving Rylan his, he was a little more excited for the balloon I think)


(Jaiden excited to get his trophy)


That evening was my moms side of the family Christmas party (I know its a little early but moms sister lives in Ely and comes down this time for Christmas shopping so it works out) We always do White Elephant and the kids played a candy game.


All the girls (In order of birth, Lindsey replacing Gary of course)

NyQuil Overdose

Soo ever since day one with both of my boys the two of them LOVE medicine. If one boy is sick and getting something the other complains they need some. Really>> It cant be just that they've made it taste better since I was a kid cause just recently we had to give my nephew some and he dreaded it. Anyways.. last night Im watching a movie and Pete is headed off the bed. Rylan follows so I figure hes going to lay down with him. About 2 min later I hear someone snooping through the medicine cabinet and look to check it out. Rylan (Who is 21/2 and 28 lbs) had climbed up and gotten out a few bottles of different things. I walk over thiking Ill just get him down and put the things away. I notice the cap on the Childrens Ny Quil is half way on and about half gone. I know weve hardly used any. I look up and sure enough hes got it on his lips. He drank almost half of the bottle. So I call poison control like it says on the bottle. Not too concerned but want to make sure I dont need to rush him anywere. The lady was GREAT and soo nice. It turns out she figured it wasnt too bad. Since it was his bedtime and bound to fall asleep soon since it was Ny quil he took she said to just keep checking him every 15 min and dont expect him to wake up but just like tickle his foot and make sure he responds. This was at like 10 at night so I stayed up for about a half hour and Pete stayed up till midnight playing XBOX with Ry sleeping next to him and checking him. He is completely fine, but I had to write this too remember it and remember how my crazy boys love cough medicine soo much that they will drink half the bottle. =)
