Ultrasound of our baby girl!

So I had the official Ultrasound today. The technichian made me a DVD of parts of the ultrasound. I thought she kind of rushed through the DVD part and I wanted her to show more of the baby moving, but oh well. It is pretty neat to have a DVD of it and our baby girl was sucking on her arm and "practice breathing" already. The tech. said that she is already about 3 lbs. at 27 weeks. She said that the baby is measuring at about 29 weeks-so what that means is again I am going to have a big baby! OR I might have her early-I don't know. It was neat to see how developed she is at 27 weeks. She moves a lot and kicks me a lot. Chris and I are most likely going to name her Shelby Lynn. So we are calling her Shelby when we talk about our baby girl. I tried to download the DVD-but it was taking forever so I don't think I was doing it right or it is too long anyway.

Father's Day Weekend

Shelby Mustang!!!

I love this wagon!!! It worked out great for the car show!!

Drag Races Fri. night

For Father's Day weekend we went to the Drag races Fri. night and then went to a car show Sat. in Medford. It was a fun weekend trip. Then Sunday for Father's day we had John and Soozee over for dinner and had the fathers open gifts. Chris got a Smoker from me and wood chips, seasoning, and stuff to go along with the smoker from the kids and his parents. Chris wanted Santoro's style sandwiches for dinner (his favorite sandwich place in Burbank CA). It actually turned out pretty close to the real thing. I made the Jones famous peanut butter bars for desert since Chris loves peanut butter! I hope Chris had a nice Father's day. I hope all you dads had a great father's day as well. Happy Father's day to Rusty and Jason for your 1st Father's day-yeah!!!

Nicole's Wedding!

We drove to Rexburg Idaho, for Nicole's wedding, which was June 12th. It was a quick weekend, but it was nice to see the entire family. All my siblings were there with their families, friends that we haven't seen in years came to the wedding too. Holly and Carson got to play with their many cousins. The wedding day was very nice and Nicole's reception was nice and relaxed. Nicole looked amazing and seemed very relaxed since everything came together so well. We enjoyed our quick trip to see the Jones family and to be apart of Nicole and Jason's wedding-I wouldn't have missed it-even with a 16 hour drive!! The drive was awful both ways-the kids did so good (thanks to DVDs, games, and sleeping). I was miserable, but at least I didn't swell as bad as last trip. Holly and Carson were so sad to have to leave-it was so cute! Holly cried when we left and Carson kept saying he wanted to go to Grandma and Grandpa Jones'-and that he didn't want to go home. Hopefully we can go back soon! Congrats to the Newlyweds-Nicole and Jason Grafel and good luck with everything.

It's a GIRL

This is her hand and top of her head.

Cute little profile!

I had to move my ultrasound appt. 3 times now and I'm 25 weeks pregnant and anxious to know what I'm having. So-since I had an appt. today for a follow-up about my swelling I asked my midwife if she could tell me what I'm having. So-I got a quick ultrasound just to find out that I'm having a GIRL. It's funny how I already thought that I was having a girl. This pregnancy has been similar to when I was pregnant with Holly. I'm so excited to be having another girl and get to do dresses and pink and bows all over again!!! Holly is very excited to be getting a sister and Carson could care less. My scanner isn't working so I had to take pictures of the ultrasound so it didn't turn out that good. The one of the 3D pic.- you can really see her cute face and cute little nose with her hand on her head. It was neat to watch her move around during the ultrasound and she actually clapped her hands together-it was so cute.

24 weeks pregnant!

I know kindof gross-right!? I'm 24 weeks pregnant and still don't know what I'm having until next weeks ultrasound. I had my monthly checkup today and I have been swelling for the past month. But after our Memorial weekend trip I noticed it was getting bad and so early still. My Midwife wasn't happy with me. I gained 11 lbs. in 1 month do to the swelling-so now I'm on strict orders. I have to elevate my legs for an hour after work every day, I have to wear pantyhose during the day, I have to elevate my legs while sleeping, and for the past 24 hours I have to pee in a jug so they can test my urine. Sounds fun huh? Well-today I was swelling so bad it hurt and I was having tingling sensations down my legs. My midwife said I need to cut back on work and relax more with elevating my legs. I have a follow-up appt. in a week and she said if it doesn't get better then she might put me on bed rest. I know I didn't swell this early with Holly or Carson. So-I have to be good. I'm not having any other problems like high blood pressure, but my midwife is worried about preeclampsia because of my early swelling. It does make me nervous and annoyed that I'm already swelling so early and so far I've gained 21 lbs. which is more than I should have already. I hope I can get the swelling down.

Video of SeaWorld fun!

Some video at SeaWorld! The sealions wanted to be fed!

part of the sealion show-it was funny!

We got to pet and feed the bat rays.

Memorial weekend trip!

We had a great trip to California. Mainly the trip was to go and see my new nephew Lucas and we made it more eventful. First we drove to SLO and stayed with G&G Jones. It was nice to see them again so soon and we also got to visit with Marilyn, Cathy, and Barbara (my Dad's sisters were all there). We spent the night and Sat. left for SCV. First I dropped Chris off in Santa Maria where he met his friend Craig. They stayed at the car show all day while I drove down to SCV to visit Jason, Kate, and baby Lucas. We went to the park and just hung out and I got to witness how stinkin' cute Lucas is!!! I loved to see him smiling, cooing, and laughing. He really liked Carson and I just loved how every time he heard Kate's voice he turned his head and you could tell he just adored his mom! It was the cutest thing! Sun. we went to Saugus 3rd ward for Sacrament and got to talk with our friends from our old ward. Then we hung out with Jason and Kate again that afternoon. We visited with the Peterson's that night before we drove down to Mission Viejo and stayed at Aunt Cathy's house. I got to catch up with my cousin Jeff. Then Mon. we went to SeaWorld!! That was so fun and I loved the shows. We didn't go on any rides since Carson isn't tall enough and we didn't have time. We just went to all the exhibits and watched almost all the shows! All Holly talked about was getting a shark tooth-so she was pretty excited to finally get her shark tooth necklace. The kids both liked the Shamu show and Dolphin show the best. Of course we sat in the soak zone for all the shows-and we didn't get that wet. Since it was so hot it was nice to get splashed! After SeaWorld we headed back up North and Chris and I enjoyed Bob's Big Boy on the patio while the kids were crashed out in the car. We had a fast fun trip and now I'm tired!
