I am sure most of you have already heard that baby #3 is on the way from facebook and instagram, but I'll post about it anyway. I am just soo excited for this baby! Rhett and I had seriously considered just stopping at two kids because my pregnancies are so hard, but I REALLY wanted just one more! I am super grateful to be pregnant again, even if it is hard.
This pregnancy hasn't been much different than the other two. I'm still sick and miserable and losing weight. But this time I think I have it down to a science and know my body a little bit better. And because of that I think I have been able to skip the PICC line and IV'S. I probably could have used an IV a couple times, but I made it through and baby boy and I are doing just fine.
Within just the last week I have felt a ton better!! I can finally EAT!!! I can tell it has been a shock to my body to be receiving so much food, but I don't care! I have MISSED food SOOO much!!! I love waking up hungry!! I still get sick at night and don't feel 100%, but I will take what I can get!
And PS, I thank the person that invented nausea meds. Those people are going straight to heaven!
I'm happy this little baby is a BOY and I can only hope he will be a little Rhett, the world could use another Rhett. I am so used to buying girly, frilly, things so buying boy stuff is going to be a huge change for me. But a FUN change. I found these cute outfits and Sam's Club and just had to buy them!
I keep telling Rhett that I think Heavenly Father blesses me with being able to feel my babies move early because during times when I thought I was going to die from feeling so sick I would feel the baby and it would change my whole mood around. I have been feeling the baby move for a good two months which has been amazing. The ultrasound tech said it was because of where my placenta was attached and that the baby is laying in just right spot for me to feel him move all the time. It's amazing and NEVER gets old.
Here I am at 17 weeks
And this picture was taken yesterday
21 weeks pregnant
Pretty good growth spurt if you ask me!
So, I decided to just throw the rest of our summer stuff into this post. Because who am I kidding, by the time I get back on here to blog school will probably have started and I will have a bunch new stuff to blog about(:
Rhett gets us into those RZR's as often as he possibly can. Those things have been an awesome stress reliever for him. He works so much I'm just glad he has something fun to do when he does get a nice little break!
My dad had let us borrow a couple of his dirt bike's. Every SINGLE day Rhett gets home from work he takes the kids on a quick ride around the neighborhood. They all love it!
So even though most of my time this summer has been spent with me laying on the couch doing NOTHING I have tried to keep the girls busy and happy.
We also went on a quick/long road trip with Rhett to Nevada for work. It was nice for us girl to get out of the house. We really enjoyed our time with Rhett and the girls did surprisingly great in the car.
We went up to Driggs for a little 4th of July celebration. We endured a BIG storm that came through. The wind and rain was crazy there for a little while. Once the storm passed it was great though. The girls even got to see Snow White. Some of the Beach Boys and Lee Greenwood performed and it was all for free. I love free(: Haha. But really, it was a fun night.
The girls did catch the stomach flu this summer which was awful! Try dealing with that with morning sickness! BLEH! Luckily only Brylee threw up. But they both had awful nausea, fevers, and headaches. Poor things :(
The girls slept on our bedroom floor that week so I could help them easily during the night if they needed it.
Bry was so, so sick one night and so miserable. She asked Rhett to give her a blessing out of the blue. After the blessing Brylee got a good nights sleep and woke up feeling much better. Now she loves to tell everybody about her experience with her daddy giving her a priesthood blessing and how it made her better. It makes my heart so happy every time I hear her talk about it.
We have had this cute boy come stay with us TWICE this summer!! I love this little brother of mine. Uncle Cooper is the BEST(:
Some fun days at the park!
And of course most of our days are spent at home because it just takes so much out of me to do much else.
So we have been trying to get creative with some fun crafts for the girls to do!
And these are just some fun random pictures of my girls being silly.
I sure love them and feel so blessed that I get to be their mom.
They are the BEST!
Hope this post wasn't too long! Kind of an overload, haha.
Hope everyone is having a great summer!
