I wish I knew...

I wish I knew how to sew, or how to be crafty in general. I'm not a crafty person at all. I pay for other people to be crafty. Ok, so the reason for the huge picture, Nick loves quilts, I'm not a big fan to be honest. But I saw on Studio 5 this morning an argyle segment. The lady was saying that it's nice to have one large piece of argyle for a room. Well, I LOVE argyle and so does Nick. The current quilt on our bed is so dark and with a darker head board, I think the room needs some color. So I got to thinking, I want a argyle quilt, where I pick out the fabric, and hire someone to make it for me! Smart right? Of course, in my mind I can see the colors and everything. Then I saw this quilt; its exactly what I want, design wise, but different colors. I'm wanting yellow, blue, green, maybe a little purple to add something girly. Now to find fabric, look at costs, and then find someone to make it for me! Easier said than done of course. I have the desire to be crafty, but thats about as far as it goes. But once we find out what we are having I do plan on making a car seat cover.

Speaking of babies, I swear this one is a girl! I keep having dreams that I give birth to little Ainsley and she has a ton of hair and big brown eyes and little rosey cheeks. The picture is stuck in my head. I still really want a boy but that hope is slowly going away. I'm happy either way, I just want a happy, healthy baby; gender doesn't matter. I'm almost 13 weeks and still doing great. I really have nothing to complain about!

Neacel is getting big and turning into a destructive little boy. Something is always being broken or torn (usually books of his). He is so curious about everything around him. He is learning so quickly and impresses us constantly with the number of words he knows/understands. The other day we were driving to Logan and I had to find a way to keep him happy the last 30ish minutes so I decided to ask him to say words for me; he said almost all the words, or at least tried. I was asking him words that I have NEVER asked him to say, like colors; he could say most of them. I was in total shock. So I'm starting to work on words a ton more with him since he seems to be catching on so quickly right now. Our little genius is getting smarter, we are in trouble!

Nick is graduating this weekend and we are so excited for him! He is officially done with school, for 3 months! He is so happy to finally be getting his degree. We are going to spend some time in Cedar City, he wants to show me around and take Neacel and I some places. So another little mini vacation before school starts!

Baby Picture

Here is our little peanuts first picture! I went to the dr yesterday and everything looks great. I was scared that something was going to be wrong, but nothing! I'm having a very very easy pregnancy. I have a feeling though its going to bite me in the butt later, either in this pregnancy or the next! Nick said that by looking at the chin that its a boy...Im still wondering where the chin is because I just see a tiny body with a head...nothing more. We already have names picked out either way, Broden Christopher for a boy and Ainsley Elizabeth for a girl. I think Nick is leaning more towards a girl and I still want a boy. We will find out in 10 weeks...ugh! I hate waiting.

The Perfect Pregnancy???

Can it really be true? I've been scared but after talking with my doctor, I think I am experiencing the perfect pregnancy! I'm not getting my hopes up and believe me it has crossed my mind that something could be wrong, but I don't want to think negative until I hear it from the doctor. I'm 10 weeks and I have had NO morning sickness, NO food aversions, NO problems with smells. In fact I don't feel pregnant. I feel absolutely positively fine! The worst symptom I have is heartburn! It has scared me for a while, so a friend gave me a pregnancy test that she had, it was a digital and luckily, those can't lie. No faint line, no second guessing just the flat out truth!

I found myself nervous that it was going to say NOT Pregnant, because of the lack of symptoms. I called my doctor and she said that I shouldn't worry and just consider myself lucky and that all pregnancies are different. I just didn't imagine a complete 180. They offered to do an ultrasound if I wanted but I figured I could wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow we will check in on our little peanut. Alot of people have told me that pregnancies this different usually mean a different gender, but I REALLY want another boy! But I'm starting to think it's a girl. Either way, as long as the baby is healthy I don't care what it is. I think Nick is hoping for a little girl so that we have one of each.

Neacel is growing like a weed and talking like there is no tomorrow. He says "thank you" all the time, he has better manners then Nick and I! I'm really wanting to go full force on potty training but I'm too lazy. It's going to happen soon, at least before the next one gets here. The last thing I want to do is deal with 2 kids in diapers.

He is learning his colors and learned to count to 3 if you help him. Reason being, I give him to the count of 3 to fix the wrong thing he might be doing. The other night he kept climbing on the table. I looked at him and said "ONE" he looks at me and says "twoooo," I of course try not to smile and just say "TWO" he then looks at me again and says "FEEEE". I just got him off and basically said that was too cute and I'll let you off the hook this time. He does it here and there but not too often luckily. He eats a ton, and can't stop yackin'. His favorite word is "basketball" which comes out "backetbaw," and is obsessed with basketball.

He recently showed me that he knows what a cat says. We were walking around Nick's parent's condo and there was a cat in the window. Neacel has rarely been exposed to cats, so I kneel down to tell him what it is, he looks at me and says "meow." I looked at him and asked what he was saying and he kept saying meow minus the e. I was completely shocked! He amazes us every day with what he knows, he is such a sponge and just takes everything in. We are slowly starting nursery and so far so good. But I can't just leave him yet, so we are just doing intervals. Next week, no play time, just the lesson and snack. Pray for us!

Neacel will be getting his "big boy" bed sometime this week and we are so excited. I'm really not worried about him with it. We are hoping that when we move his new bed can be a comfort to him. As soon as he is completely done with his crib it's going to disappear until it's time for the baby to use it.

Nick is doing well, he will be graduating from SUU on April 30th. We are going to make the trip to Cedar City and he is going to do the whole ceremony thing. I'm so happy and proud of him. He is finishing up his last two classes as we speak. The end is finally near, now time for grad school! This summer will be Nick's last summer free from school for a few years. It's going to be hard, but I know he is going to do amazing.
