Brayden's 1st Birthday

2008-04-22T13:57:00.000-07:00

The Cake that Me and his Auntie Roni made special for him, it looks a little tipsy but for our 1st cake it looked pretty good. I think that it was leaning because we had Chocolate mouse filling in the middle of the blocks, let me tell you it was pretty yummy.

Cake eating time, he did enjoy it but the poor little guy was so sick with the flu earlier that week and was still feeling a little under the weather.

UPDATE

2008-04-22T12:26:00.000-07:00

I know that I have not been good on keeping up with my blog, but there is a very good explination I need a computer to do that. Well we have had a lot going on in the last 4 months Brayden Turned 1 years old already on March 16th, he is getting to be such a big boy, there will be pictures to come I hope if I get my wish and get a computer. Brayden as of April 19th just decided that he wanted to walk so our little boy is up and walking all over then place, pretty soon he will be running.

Me I have been working full-time again at Fairview Clinic in Hugo, I got my wish and I'm working back with the Pediatrition that I used to work for before we had Brayden. Other then working and keeping up with my little man there is not to much more that I can do. I do play Co-ed softball on Sundays that just started last weekend and boy am I sore, its kind of nice to get out and do something fun.

House hunting, Me and Matthew are officially house hunting getting out on our own and having family time with just the 3 of us will be really nice, we havent quite decided where we are going to live but we have looked at a few places. I hate to say it but we are not moving any closer I was hoping we could but Matthew was not a big fan of the idea, and I'm not quite sure if we would beable to afford anything closer, we will see.

Matthew has been WORKING WORKING and more WORKING, that is all the kid does the olny time we get to see him is on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays then it is back to work...

Well I hope to keep everyone updated with pictures and more good news................... Until then....

25 WEEKS

2006-12-31T10:34:00.000-08:00

Still looking like shit, but definately not feeling like it, which is good. Here is me at 25 weeks over half way there. Its great being pregnant now that I dont feel sick and I can actually feel him move around in there. Matthew felt him for the first time yesterday and he thought it was the coolest thing. He talks to him all the time, I know that he is going to be s great dad, you can already tell how much he loves the little guy, even though he is not here yet.
To me I feel like a whale, no STRECH MARKS YET, knock on wood. Now I look pregnant instead of just FAT, cant wait till you get the big belly where there is no chance at hiding it. Can't wait till we go to Florida, it will be his first vacation, and definately not his last.

IT'S A BOY

2006-12-31T10:20:00.000-08:00

Here are ultrasound pictures that are taken at 20 weeks, and clearly you can see that it is indeed a BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! As they point out in the above picture.
This is my favorite one, although a little scary, he is saying HI to everyone with eyes and mouth wide open, its so neat how far thing have come as far as ultrasounds...........
TEN TOES YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALREADY ATTEMPTING TO SUCK HIS THUMB!!!!!!!!!

HOSPITAL STAY

2006-12-31T10:01:00.000-08:00

All the lovely things that they have me hooked up too, as you can see Im so thrilled, LOL, not quite, three weeks in the hospital is way to long, heck 2 days is enough. I was glad to be home.
Ok so we are really behind, as you can tell the reason why is because I was a little busy being sick and in the hospital. This pregnancy was a rough start, but so far I think we are over that stage. I took these pictures so when he gets older I can show him what I all went through to have him, but in the end It will all be worth it.

Mindi's Wedding

2006-09-25T08:17:00.000-07:00

Today we are 10 Weeks and 3 Days, we had gone to the doctor today and found out that we are not as far along as we thought we were, so that puts are new due date at April 17th, kind of bumbed but if you look at it its only 10 more days yay.............. So here is the lovely pictures of me at 10 weeks and 3 days, the belly is coming but right now it just looks like I gained quite a bit of weight, but if you can believe there is a small tiny thing growing in there, they say about the size of a walnut, so pretty much its all Uterus...............
