Feeling good!!

All of this warm weather we have been having has been so fabulous! I'm a little happy that the rain is coming in just so it can keep me out of the sun for a few days. One of my main self conscious issues I had was being so dang white! I don't have that pretty white skin and with my dark hair I look like I just walked off the set of twilight! OK maybe I am over exaggerating, but I still feel that way. So pretty much Aaron, Rylee and I have spent all our time outside soaking up the sun. Being next to Aaron though I still look so white only cause him and Rylee have the most beautiful olive skin tone and can literally be outside for 30 mins and look like they have been on a tropical vacation. Not to mention when Rylee goes outside she ALWAYS is wearing SPF 50 and still gets that amazing tan. Rylee looked at me the other day and says, "Mom you have a Princess Tiana tan." It was the sweetest thing ever!( I'm for sure not that tan) Its funny how a 3 year old words can boost your self esteem.
My sweet cravings has finally kicked in for me! The last trimester of my pregnancy with Rylee all I wanted/ate was candy. This time its not so much candy, but I want that sweet flavor of things. Syrup is probably my main one! In the mornings if Aaron sees me make my waffles he will always ask if I want waffles with my syrup and butter. Its really pretty funny only cause its true! I drench my waffles in syrup and if I am having one of my sweet tooth's that where I go. Yesterday Aaron took us to Jamba Juice and normally I would just get a normal fruit Jamba, but I saw the peanut butter moo'd I was all over that! All I can say was I was in heaven and was  finally able to finish a Jamba all by myself. Probably something only a pregnant girl would understand.
I am getting so jealous of the girls that have their sweet little angels already in their arms or that are so close to their due date. I am trying to be patient, but the closer I get the harder it gets! I just try to tell myself that just cause I am getting close to my due date that doesn't mean I will have her in 10 or 11 weeks. If its anything thing like Rylee I will be stuck being dilated to a 4 for a month and still having to be induced after going a week over my due date. Plus I still have stuff I need to get, clothes I need to wash and a few more things done to her little bed area. So patience please come to me:)

Fun Zoo trip

Her eyes make me melt!

My little rat dog loved the pool and sun also!

Oh Jeez!!!!

Aaron and I were talking last night at dinner and we brought up the baby. We discussed that 2 1/2 months and 77 days still seem pretty far away, but 11 to 10 weeks away seems so close!! I started to freak out! We have pretty much everything we need except a name. I always said I wanted to wait to see her till I give her a name, but now its kind of stressing me out. I don't know why this time around is so hard! With Rylee is was so easy, I had her name picked out way before she was born. Although I can't even remember how I picked the name Rylee. Once the name was picked the spelling came right to me. A little while back we asked Rylee if she liked Rian and ever since then she has called her baby sister Rian. I have always loved the name "Ryan" for a a girl spelled a feminine way. My problem is there are so many different girl spellings for this name, I have no idea how to spell it. Aaron really likes the spelling RIAN and my mother likes the spelling RYANN. Of course me I am so stuck!! I love them both! Rian just seems so unique and girly and I love Ryann because we keep the "RY" to match Rylee's name. I worry with Rian that people are going to get dyslexic on us an call her Rain and with Ryann I am afraid people are going to call her Ry-Ann. OK my reason for this blog is..................

HELP ME!!!!!

I need and want some help on spelling. So please please share your favorite way on spelling her name, It will help me lots and lots and I would greatly appreciate it.

Should it be....

*Rian?

*Ryann?

So productive!

The last two days Aaron and I have been so busy with yard work. The front yard is pretty easy, but as soon as you hit the backyard it gets a little bit difficult! Only because it's huge! It's probably 2000 sq ft give or take some. So being pregnant and doing yard work makes it even more difficult, but Aaron and I really enjoy doing it together:) Not only do we do, but Rylee does too. She will walk around and pick up the weeds we have pulled. Nothing like I used to be when I was little, I would have taken being grounded over yard work!
I am so sore from the last two days of pretty much doing squats that I told Aaron tomorrow and Sunday the only thing I'm doing with the yard is getting in my skimpy 2 piece swim suit with my tanning oil and soaking up the sun! I think it's well deserved after all that work:)

7 MONTHS!!!

Oh my goodness I seriously feel like this pregnancy is flying by! You would think that I would feel like it is going by so slow, but I told myself this pregnancy I will enjoy every moment and I have, minus the 1st trimester. When you think July it still seems so far away, but then when you think full term is considered 37 weeks and this little angel 'could' be here in 9 weeks is crazy! I wont lie though I hope that isn't the case and she stays in till 40 weeks. I love me a chunky newborn:) If its anything like it was with Rylee I probably wont have this baby till 41 weeks with an induction. I am going to hope and pray this baby comes on her own though. I had a really good induced labor with Rylee but I want to be able to experience the going into labor naturally. We will see though either way it happens as long as she is healthy I am totally fine with that. For some reason this time around I am so so so so so so so nervous about labor! I can't really pin point why, but I am pretty nervous about it. We can't wait to meet this sweet girl!
Not much as changed in the last 4 weeks other than my weight. At my last appointment I weighed 130 and on my scale it says I am at 135. That makes me a little nervous only cause I got to 145 with Rylee and I am getting closer and closer to that number. I know I shouldn't worry seeing as a still "look" tiny, but it is still stressful. I wont lie though that number WILL NOT stop me from eating. I have started to drink 64oz of water a day and that has really helped with keeping me from getting hungry an hour after I have eaten plus it has helped so much with water retention. I didn't realize how much water I was retaining till after I started drinking more water. My fingers and toes can get pretty swollen, but that happens even when I'm not pregnant. (Thanks Mom) I had to say goodbye to my wedding and toe rings. Its actually kind of scary when you have them on and start to swell!
I have been feeling her move around so much more! She loves to hang out on the right side with her sweet little feet right under my ribs. It can get pretty uncomfortable at times, but I still love it! She is totally our child when it comes to sleep! Very active starting out at about 10pm till about 12am and then is calm and passed out until the next day around 10am. I pretty much would love that schedule when she is born! Lets just hope she is like Rylee when Rylee was a newborn. Slept through the night at 2 weeks old and didn't get moving till about 8 or 9am. Best advice I was ever given by my mother, "Never wake a sleeping baby." In the hospital they were so weird with me waking Rylee up every 2 to 3 hours. After I left the hospital and literally got zero sleep due to that I finally took my moms advice and did not wake her and let her figure out her own schedule and voila she was sleeping and eating at a wonderful schedule. Lesson learned!!! As for me when it comes to being pregnant and sleeping I don't have a problem at all! As soon as I hit the bed I am zonked out! I miss sleeping on my belly and I have cheated a lot when it comes to sleep. I am not a big fan of side sleeping  so I fall asleep on my back and if I end up on my side I end up there, but I normally get wonderful sleep.
Now I just can't wait till it gets hot so I can buy Rylee a pool and me just hang out in it with her to get some sun! Her is the recent belly pic:)

27 weeks with both:)

Craft and decor

I definitely love a good craft session! I am always doing new projects around the house. When we got back from Disneyland I was feeling like my living room needed some color, So I decided to go on a little hunt for new ideas on new decor. First I wanted new pillows and planned on just making them, but when I came across some cute pillows for CHEAP I figured I would end up spending the same amount on fabric, stuffing and all those little odds and ends so I went ahead and bought them. Of course I couldn't stop there! I had to have a new dinning room rug. Yes HAD to have;) We looked at a few different place and last min Aaron suggested RC Willey and my first reaction was oh jeez! 1. That store is my weakness and 2. It is crazy expensive! I knew we were going to go in there and see rugs for $300 to who knows what! Not to mention I am a huge bargain shopper so none of that was in my price range. As we are looking through the rugs I run into one that I loved, but told myself that I needed time to think about it and I would just come back the next day to get it if I have decided that I had to have it. By the next day I knew I had to have it, went in and saw a sold tag on it. I couldn't believe it and was so mad at myself. Aaron decided to take me to another RC Willey's and after several different ones we finally found the same rug and they marked it down to the damaged clearance price of the first one. Brand new rug for $200 off I think that was a steal!

I'm very happy with those changes. I was starting to feel like I lived in a bachelor pad and its amazing what a new rug and pillows can do for a room! So of course I do all that I will most likely need some new wall decor to go with all of it. My Girl friend Jessica and I got together and decided to do a craft night of wall decor. Of course we got the idea off of Pinterest (who doesn't get their ideas of there these days) It was so funny cause I was getting so frustrated with the modge podge cause all it wanted to do was bubble on me this time and I had no idea why! Come to find out after just letting it sit the bubbles will just come out on its own. Who would have thought?! I hung them up and came back a couple hours later and they were gone:) I definitely need to put more decor on my table, but I need to brain storm more on what I need to do.

I can't wait till I can hit the bedroom when I get my new sleep number bed! I have Ideas that I want to do from once again from Pinterest.

 Honestly I would love to be able to paint and do all that other random home renovations, but if you know me well enough you know that I am always changing my mind on things later down the road and getting new ideas. If you ask anyone I am always changing my stuff around every 6 months to a year. I think with paint that would get extremely expensive!! So I think for now I better stick to just doing the random small things around the house cause we all know it would will be different in a few months:)

Bye bye Disneyland..

Well after 3 days of Disney I won't lie I am ready to move on to the next adventure! We had so much fun, but for a girl that is 6 months prego walking as much as I did you wouldn't blame me. We started driving to Cali at 8pm and arrived here at about 5am, slept for a bit and the went straight to Disney ALL day long!!! Along with the next two days. Rylee had so much fun!! I'm glad we were able to bring her here to experience this. We had the chance to go on a ton of rides, shows and she got a lot of signatures from her favorite characters:) plus Aaron spoiled us with a great dinner at Midieval times. Both of us have always wanted to do this, but I think Rylee had just as much fun as we did there. It was worth every penny!! And when it's $60 dollars a plate it better be! This isn't the end of our vacation though, we head to laguna beach tomorrow and then San Diego for more fun:)

24 weeks..

So close yet still so far away! There are some days that I feel huge and some days that I feel like my belly hasn't had much change at all. I know I know I still look tiny, but that doesn't mean I don't feel big. You kind of forget that feeling of a soccer ball in front of you after not having it for 3 years. Not to mention going from 109 to 130 (yes I have already gained 21 pounds) is a HUGE change for someone that was so tiny. Putting shoes on and shaving my legs are getting a little hard, but I have Aaron that will help and Rylee is very eager to help with putting my shoes on. The little one is about 12 inches long give or take and weighs 1 pound give or take. She moves around like crazy especially when I am eating yummy food:) Its so much fun to watch her kick from the outside! Sometimes I feel like she is going to kick right through my ribs or right through my skin. I love that she likes to hang out very low only cause I have had enough issues with my ribs from my enormous boobs so I will enjoy that while I can. I have been having "braxton hicks" like crazy since about 20 weeks. I hate to even call them braxton hicks only because they aren't just the tightening feeling, its full blown contractions! If you would have asked me 5 weeks ago if I remembered what a contraction was like I wouldn't have been able to tell you. All I remember with Rylee was they HURT, but I completely forgot the feeling till one day at the store with Aaron when I was 20 weeks. I literally had to sit down in the middle of the store and told Aaron we had to leave now! By the time we got to the door I was much better. Since then I have had them on and off ever since! Some are lighter than others but then there are some that I have to excuse myself from whatever we are doing. My doctor pretty much said welcome to baby #2 pregnancy. I am happy to know that they are 100% normal and its nothing to worry about. Other than that everything is great!!

I have officially been on my first Spring Break now for almost a week and it has been really nice! My classes aren't so hard yet so even Spring Break doesn't really feel like a Spring Break to me. It pretty much feels like any other day just without my easy homework.

Its been a pretty busy week doing different things here and there and very enjoyable! I had a girls dinner with 2 or my good friends. We literally just sat at the table from 6 to 9 talking about life in general. It was really good to go out with great girlfriends without alcohol (seeing as none of us drink anymore) and just talk about our lives, No lame drama just fun adult conversations.

Then today my Brother-in-law had is graduation from Neumont receiving his Bachelors degree in computer science and all of us couldn't be more proud of him. He has worked his butt of to get where he is and has accomplished something amazing. 

I am so excited for Saturday! We are going to the festival of colors with a big group of people and then we usually hike up to the hot springs in Spanish fork. Of course only my feet will be able to enjoy that, but I'm sure they will need it after the long hike. Then a great relaxing day on Sunday followed by the start of our trip to DISNEYLAND! Rylee is so excited, she wakes up every morning with a count down till we can go and anyone she sees she has to tell them she is going there and will see lots of princesses and ride in the tea cups. I love that girl more than she will ever know!!
