21 Weeks!!

Wow sorry it's been a while! Been having computer problems and internet problems. Well on to the great news!

It's a Girl!! Brigham and I found out yesterday that our little bundle of joy is a girl! I've kinda known from the start that it was a girl. A boy just didn't feel right. Well, she's 13 oz and seems to be healthy. They did a really intense ultrasound. I've never had on that lasted 30 minutes. They measured and checked her head, neck, chest, heart, kidneys, stomach, bladder, legs, ect. Since I have a child with autism they were extrememly careful to check for downsyndrome, spinal bifida, and other problems. The tech said that having one child with handicapps is hard enough so she would pray that this one is healthy. And boy, is she onry! The tech kept having to push down and dig around because baby kept moving! But she kept her back to us so we never got a good look at her face. Oh, well I guess we will be suprised. We did however get lots of rear end pictures!! LOL She was not shy or she was trying to tell us something?

I've always been told by doctors to never sleep on your back while pregnant so I've really struggled sleeping lately. My hips have been killing me trying to only stay on my sides. Well the doctor told me that there is no medical proof that sleeping on your back is harmful. However if I feel dizzy because the baby is pressing on veins causing lack of blood flow than the baby is feeling dizzy too. So he said to just be very aware of my body. So for the first time in weeks I got a great night sleep because I wasn't so confined to one side or the other. I didn't spend all night on my back but it was nice to be able to have more positions to sleep.

Kizzy is so excited for a baby girl! She wants to name it Ariel. And since most of her dolls are named that we have been able to talk her out of it so far. We'll see. Kizzy will turn five her in a few weeks. She's already planned what she wants for dinner. Hotdogs, jello, and french fries. (She is addicted to hot dogs. She would eat them three times a day if I let her!) It's really exciting and scary to have her be five aready! She will enter Kindergarten next year! It's just amazing.

Zeke just turned six and boy is he getting big. He was sick over his birthday as well as getting his six year old molars. I had no idea he was getting teeth but he put my finger in his mouth (normally a really bad idea!) and had me feel his teeth. I am so greatful he figured out a way of telling me where he was hurting! We had a great birthday dinner for him. We had pizza, jello, and pop. Then for dessert we had chocolate peanutbutter cup brownies. He loves them! We got trick candles as well and he really enjoyed those as well. He loves blowing out candles.

Brigham is doing great at work, his efficency level is about 98-100% lately which is a great thing. They are doing a 3 month bonus through out the year and they average your efficency for those months and give you accordingly. So being in the top 5% bracket will be great! I'm super stoked to go get things for the baby! Pink, pink and more pink! LOL
