Baby Names

I have never been good at guessing the sex of the baby. With Zeke I wanted a boy and he was a boy. Kizzy I wanted a boy and I got a girl. I want a girl and I bet it'll be a boy! LOL

Brigham and I have been using family names in the kids' names. Zedekiah Louis,(after my maternal great grandfather) McKenzie Rose, (after Brig's paternal great grandmother). This time around we are using names from my Dad's side of the family. Some ideas are:
~Cecelia ~Celestia ~Allen
~Gretta ~George (or Georgia) ~Lynn

So far Brigham has made a stand on saying he's not going to look at names till we know the sex of the baby but here are a few names that we've talked about that we actually agree on.
~Alexis ~Calliope or Kalliope

Here are some names that I absolutely love!!
Girl
~Aleese or Aleece ~Piper ~Reyne ~Chloe or Kloe ~Amelia ~Autumn ~ Arizona ~Amilyn ~Tansy ~Violet ~Wynter ~Kachiri ~Zafrina ~Stella ~Azalea ~Georgia ~Aspen ~Summer

Boy
~Teagen ~Tayte ~Blayne ~Cedric ~Trayten ~Eleazar ~Keenan ~Ryder ~Jesse

So far not alot of boy names. I just can't seem to find any that I like. We will see what happens.

Ultrasound pictures

Finally got the scanner to work! Isn't it funny that when Brigham is around everything works and when he's gone I can't get the electronics to work? LOL

Here is the baby (blob as Brig calls it) at 8 weeks.


Here is the baby at 12 weeks and 6 days. It's 66 mm (2.5 inches) long. It's got it's arm up by it's face. It's a 3D image so it looks different.

13 weeks!!

So we are 13 weeks and I'm finally getting a bit excited!! We went into the doctors appointment was instantly in love with our doctor. He is a great LDS man who is going to be great to work with. When they (medical intern was there as well) tried to hear the heartbeat they weren't able to hear it. The doctor said that this is fairly normal considering we aren't that far along.(The medical intern said it was because I was fat!) We ended up talking about weight at that point. I have lost about 10 pounds being pregnant so far but he says he only wants me to gain 10 pounds. Ten Pounds!! That isn't very much. I got my labor records from wyoming and realized that Kizzy was heavier than I thought when she was born she was 7lbs 13 oz. So if I have another baby that size, then you add in placenta and all that other stuff, 10 pounds isn't very much! So I've decided to watch it a little bit. I figure if I stay between 15-20 I'll be very proud of myself. Back to baby, we ended up having to get an ultrasound to hear the baby's heart beat, 165 for anyone who is interested. The baby is 66 milimeters about 2.5984 inches, and so far has 2 arms and 2 legs and looks healthy according to the dumb intern and the ultrasound tech.

Been extremely tired lately it seems like I can't get enough sleep. Poor Kizzy has been so bored being home with me lately because I keep having to go take small cat naps. She luckly is a good kid and doesn't care much.

We got the kid's school pictures!! They are so cute!



Zeke has had a few problems hitting at school. It's extremely frustrating because the school wants immediate answers. But come to find out the school is making his aid's life hard. They won't let her reinforce him, they won't give her a quite space for him to calm down in, and the teacher seems to be unwilling to help. I have a meeting with the school in December but it's really hard as a mom to be told that your kid has problems and I have to fix it. Really the only fixes are to hog tie him at school, give him extra medicine to knock him out during school, or to find ways to make school better for him. He needs reinforced when he does good things, he needs a quiet place in case he is starting to escalate. Hopefully we can find answers.

Brigham and I have been putting an engine together. It was much more fun than I expected it to be. I don't know all the specs on the engine but I understand a little bit better what my husband talks about when he works on engines at work. I helped with the pistons, camshaft, crankshaft, the timing chain, the rods, the barrings and gaskets, Boy it just seems like we did a ton. We can paint the block and oilpan and other parts (don't ask I'm not sure! LOL) and I chose and awesome color of lime green. The Blazer that we are putting it in is red so I probably should have picked a different color but this is one of my favorite colors.

Thanks to all who have been extremely supportive of this pregnancy. I really have been anti having any more kids and was in total shock that we are pregnant. It has been really nice having family and friends tell me that I can do it. I'm not sure how yet with Zeke and all of his issues, but Kizzy will be 5 in January and should be a huge help. She already helps out so much with Zeke. But anyway thanks to all who haven't torn us apart for being pregnant again.

Finally Back!!

It has been a couple of crazy months!! Let's recap:
