It's a.... GIRL!!!


Althrough our doctor said it's subject to change, so as of right now we're having another little girl. Her name will be Grace. We are so excited to have her become a part of this family. For her and Mckay to become the best of friends.


My sister and I are 15 months apart and Mckay and Grace will be a couple days short of 14 months apart (given she comes on her due date). Since Mckay won't be out of her crib by the time Grace gets here we had the OPPORTUNITY to purchase yet another crib. Oh the joys. Since we will be putting each child in their own rooms, we needed to clean and de-junk the room that will be Grace's. Oh my goodness, you think that you don't have a ton of stuff untill you start cleaning and figureing out that most of the things that you have you don't need nor use. Therefore I have made a could trips to the D.I., and tons of items thrown away that weren't needed. I HATE de-junking. 


A good things that I did find out was that while going through the process was from a good girl friend and how she saves space when she organizes. She recomended the Space Saver Bags. I can honestly say I'd never even thought of the idea but they are AMAZING! I love them! All 20ish of our blankets and comforters are under our bed, which is probably 6 inches from the floor, crazy I know, but awesome. Also all of Mckay's clothes that she's grown out of, I had in the garage storage bins, one was huge and the other was a normal size bin. All of those clothes are under her crib. Great way to save space for the things that you want to get to easier. I highly recommend them.


Ideas for decorating the nursery.... I'm stuck. I've thought about doing a moose theme or a owl theme, my delema I'm not in love with the owl theme and the moose theme was going to be more for a boy so I would love ideas if any of you have any. 


Ok, Subject of Mckay. She's eight months old and getting so smart and the little miss will be walking here anytime. She's gotten to the point where she can hold onto one hand and be steady enough to walk a couple steps. She says da da, it's so cute. She loves it when her daddy comes home. Loves to walk and be outside. She's started a new thing were she whines about everything and it's driving us up the wall. She doesn't cry unless she's super tired she can't stand it. DOES ANYONE ELSE'S CHILDREN HAVE THIS ISSUE? WHAT DID YOU DO? We are going crazy. All she wants to do is walk, she has a walker and loves that.


ME:  This pregnancy has been a breeze compared to when I was pregnant with Mckay. I have only gotten sick once. I am still taking zolfran at night but other then that I have been good. Since I haven't been as sick I was thinking that we were going to have a boy. But for the time being we are having two beautiful girls! =D


MIKE:  He is almost done with his bachelors degree in Health Administration and then next spring he'll start his masters degree at Western Governors University. He's moving up at work and excelling in every way being the best team lead that he can to his team and co-workers. He's an amazing husband and father I couldn't and wouldn't ask for more.


GRACE:  All is going well, She's growing as she should be getting bigger and stronger everyday. She has a great heartbeat and she's actually measuring a week ahead of where she should be. I can't wait to see if her and Mckay will look a like.




Theres our update for now I'll keep posting pictures and try to tell about each of them but if not then I'm sorry. Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed.

Our little teddy bear, we couldn't ask for a better little girl. She's perfect!!!!

We are expecting our second little baby, it's such a blessing and we are so excited! I was very unexpected that's for sure and very very shocking and it's taken a while to get  used to the idea of having children that will be about 14 months apart. :-O

Never the less we are very excited for this little blessing to be a part of our lives. We know that he or she is meant to be here and we are so greatful for the opportunity to be the parents of this child as well as Mckay. 

Our due date is July 25th, 2012. So they will be a few days short of 14 months apart. EEEK!!! I am so nervous but I know it's been done before and I am bound and determined that I will be the best mom I am able to be.

We have had a great holiday season and we are so happy that we got to spend it with family. Mckay was so fun to watch open her presents, she was of course more into the crinkly paper and wanted to play with that but she has been playing with her toys that she got and it's fun to watch her grow. 

She is rolling all over the place, and she really wants to be walking around all she wants to do is stand. Oh how it drives us nuts because we end up holding her up most of the time. She hates to be sitting, she'll pull herself up no matter what she's doing, laying down on her belly, sitting, she is funny like that. 

She LOVES Turkey and Rice for meals. She's to the stage where she tries to help you feed her. Needless to say that feedings are always messy and she has food everywhere even in her hair. She gets a ton of baths. 

Mckay is seven months old. I can't believe how time flies. She has two and a half more inches to grown then she's out of her car seat and into a big girl one. She is definitely going to resemble her daddy. She's looks like she will have blonde hair, but we will have to see how it turns out. 

Mike has started yet another semester of schooling in health administration services. He was on schedule to graduate with his bachelors degree this spring but they don't offer the classes that he needed this spring so hopefully he'll be able graduate summer semester. HOPEFULLY!!!! If not then latest will be Fall, then he will be able to start his Masters.

I'm loving being a stay at home working mommy, Lol. I'm greatful for the opportunity that i have to be able to be there to raise Mckay and watch her learn and grow in everything that she does. I'm not as sick with this pregnancy and I was with Mckay. It is nice, not throwing up every morning, however I'm the kind of person that would rather throw up instead of feel nauseated all the freakin time even with the Zolfran. But I am not going to complain. Well there is an update of our lives. =) 

Suprise!!!!

Our trip to vegas

We have had so much fun!!!!  But ready to get back to our baby. It's the first time since she's been born that we've left her over night. It hadn't been as bad as I thought but not something I would want to do all the time.

Update!

I know it's been forever since I've updated our blog, here we go. Since I last post, We have had a beautiful little girl named Mckay Wilson. She's the best thing that has happened to us! We couldn't ask for a better child. She's perfect in every way! We love her soooooo much! She was admitted into the NICU the second night after she was born, she was having a hard time breathing so they took her in the NICU to watch over her closer. She had aspirated some amniotic fluid when she was born so they ended up pumping her stomach because of that. She was in the NICU from Thursday night till Sunday afternooon. Worst time of my life. I know that there is a ton of people who have children end up in the NICU for much much longer then she was in there and I have no idea how they do it. It was so stinkin hard for me to see her like that, all the wires attached to her it was horrible. The labor part wasn't too horrible bad, I would deffinately do it again, lol. I went into the hospital at four am they ended up sending me home because there wasn't progress so they gave me a shot of morphine and sent me home tellling me that I'd be back later that day to have our baby. needless to say I was back at the doctors at three that afternoon and again there wasn't much progress but the admitting nurse convinced my doctor to keep me there because if they hadn't I would most likely have had Mckay at home. I wen't from a three to a ten in a matter of five hours, it wasn't bad at all, we got admitted at threeish and had Mckay at 8:43pm. We spent a day with her then she got admitted into the NICU etc. Since then I took six weeks off of work to recover, Michael has gotten a promotion at work and I have quit my job and I am now a stay-at-home-mommy that works from home doing hair and nails. I'm building my clientele so if you ever need your hair done or nails done, give me a call. Mckay at four months had stopped wanting her bottle, she didn't want anything to do with rice cereal so our doctor said that we needed to start her on baby food..... yes I said baby food, She LOVES peas and sweet potatoes and she'll now eat rice cereal silly girl, but she doesn't like green beans, carrots, applesauce, pears and raspberries, she will eat some peaches but not very much. Oh the fun with the baby food. She sure gets messy. Mckay is also rolling over both ways and loves being in a johnny jump up!! LOVES IT!! She hates to sit down and loves to stand. As much progress she's making I think we are taking a step backwards in sleeping through the night the last couple of nights she's woken up three to five times, not just to eat but to get her binki (I love the binki but I hate it at the same time!). All in all Mckay is doing well. Mike and i are doing great, we love being parents and love having the opportunity to have me stay at home and be with Mckay as she grows and develops. Michael is still pursuing school, it's rough at times because of homework but we're getting through it. "It'll all be worth it int he end, right??" I just keep telling myself that, you almost have to.

 

Welp, we are now down to days! Hopefully Mckay decides to come on her own, however We both mike and I don't think that she'll come on her own, This little girl has my temper and I am in for a real treat. I haven't had any "REAL" contractions at all, I have had braxton hicks contractions but they haven't been consistant at all! Dang it!

Our next appointment is set for June 2nd, and hopefully we don't end up going that long but this little girl doesn't seem to want to come out at all or have any interest in coming out, maybe if the weather warms up she'll be more willing to come on her own. That would be nice.

Everything is ready, the doctor says that she's looking good, her legs measure a little small but they have the whole pregnancy, but there isn't anything to worry about. She'll probably just hit her growth spurt later in life like mike did, in high school.

We are just so excited to meet her, and want her to be here I'm getting really anxious and ownery becaue I don't like not knowing when something is going to happen, It is too stressful. I hope for mike's sake she decides to come sooner then later because I need to start being a happy momma, which right now I'm not so much.

My parents are so excited, my mom texts me everyday to see how I'm doing and see how Mckay is treating me. My dad will text me when he's doing something and ask if he needs to keep doing that certain thing longer because he thinks that if he's doing something then Mckay will decide to come and he'll have to drop everything he is doing and come to the hospital. It hasn't worked these last couple days. :(

Mckay will be here soon. We can't wait to meet our little princess!! I think that I am mostly ready for her to be here and to get some time off of work! I need a break, I know I'll only get one from work for a little while but hey, something is better than nothing. My mom is going to watch Mckay untill she has to go back to work in august and then we aren't sure what we are going to do but we have about two and a half months till she goes back to school to get that figured out.

I will let everyone know when Mckay decided to make her arrival into this world to be a part of our eternal family here on earth. I will be taking a ton of pictures that is for sure! I can't wait her to meet everyone! Especially Mat, Ashley and the girls! I know it won't be for a while till they get to meet but it will be an exciting time when that does happen.

Ashley if you read this, which I am not sure if you do, but if you do, we are almost there! Hang in there and be strong. Our little girls will be here soon. They already have their own ways. Both seem to not be ready enough to come on their own. Hopefully we add two more little girls into the Wilson family this week!! Good Luck! We love you guys and miss you guys!
