new events.

thanksgiving has come & gone. i got to see ron & cheryl the day before and them two, me, and steffen spent the day before thanksgiving together watching movies and eating chinese food. i miss them so much when they are gone :/

but thanksgiving was cool. tons of food which of course made me happy. and i got to see my sister and niece. and i saw my nephew the day after, he is getting so big. he's almost 7 months now and he is scooting everywhere! its hard to keep track of him.

my mother in law had to go out of town to oklahoma for a week, so me & steffen are house sitting for her. watching her dog & two kittens.. and my 15 year old brother in law. its been cool though.


im almost 17 weeks now and im far along enough to determine the sex of the baby. a lot of people want a girl and a select few want a boy. i want a boy, but ill be happy with a little girl too. we already decided if its a girl her name is going to be chloe elizabeth van gough, the boy name is undecided. lol.

im not exactly sure when i am supposed to be getting my second ultrasound to determine the sex. i have an upcoming appointment on the 5th to do some more tests and go over the due date determined by the ultrasound, which showed i am a week farther along than we expected. i hope i get to find out what the sex is before christmas. but if not, ill be happy as soon as i find out!


by the far along you are supposed to be able to feel the baby kicking. i have felt fluttering in my stomach which is really exciting. last night i felt the baby kick though, which made me grin from ear to ear. i thought i felt the baby kick before but i finally felt it and knew it was it. i was totally still and was resting and i felt something hit my tummy. i thought it was just me but then i felt it again and i knew it was my little one saying hello. i was so happy.

i cant wait to hold my little one, but then again i can. im getting excited about decorating the nursery and doing all these things to prepare for the baby and im not even half way there yet lol. i decided on a cute green color for the room that includes cute little jungle animals. and i already bought my first gift for the baby, a boppy that looks like a girafe. its so cute, it has a tail and everything.

well anyways, im gonna get going. im writing this on my lunch break at work and ive barely even touched my food.

adios :)
