A trip to the doctors and St. George

On Monday I had my 14 week appointment with my midwife.  I am pregnant with baby #2!  I wish that I could have blogged about this sooner, but I wanted to wait until I was out of my first trimester. I got to hear the babies heart beat and everything seems to be doing good with the baby. I have been pretty sick with this baby. I don't think that I am as sick as I was with Tyler, but it is pretty close. I only throw up about every other day, instead of every day. That is good, right!
I have had so many different symptoms with this pregnancy. I have never had heart burn before, but I have gotten it with this baby. My sense of smell is stronger, and I am way more emotional. Funny huh. It is so true that every pregnancy is different. I scheduled my ultra sounds for April 27th, so we are really looking forward to seeing the baby and making sure that everything looks good with him or her. Tony and Tyler are really excited. We got Tyler a little baby to teach him to be soft and gentle with the baby. He is really cute with it.

Then later that day we drove down to St. George with my mom to celebrate my grandpa's 85th birthday. We stayed at my grandpa's house and him and his new wife live in her house a couple doors down. Later that day Tony, Tyler, and I went to visit with Tony's grandparents. We ate dinner there and enjoyed visiting with them. We shared our news about the baby and they were excited for us. We were hoping to take them out for dinner, but Tony's grandpa wasn't feeling so good. We then tried to pay for the pizza that we got and his grandpa said, "some day you'll have to wipe my nose and change my diaper, but you wont buy me dinner." He is so funny and so nice. We really enjoy spending time with them.

The next day we took Tyler to the park in the morning and he just loved it. They had a fun play ground with three fun slides. He loves those. Then by the play ground they had a baseball diamond and Tyler thought that was the best thing ever. We didn't even have a ball with us, but he didn't care. He ran all the bases like six times. I couldn't believe that he just kept running. It was so cute. I can't wait to see what sports he ends up doing when he is older. We had a good time at the park. Then we went back to my grandpa's so that Tyler could take a nap.

After his nap we went to lunch with my Uncle Norman, my cousin Phil and his wife Chona, Sherri and Rich, my mom, and us. It was lots of fun to spend time together and eat some good food. After lunch we went to the branch down there so that I could check my work e-mail and do some work. After that we went to Tony's grandparents place and went swimming. It wasn't way warm, only about 65 degrees, but the pool was warm and we had a good time. Tyler loved just sitting in the hot tub (it wasn't too hot) and watching the other kids play. He wasn't very happy that we left.
But my grandpa's birthday dinner was soon so we went back and showered and got ready for dinner. Most of my grandpa's siblings were there, so it was way fun to hear them talk about growing up and how funny they are. I learned a lot about where I come from and why I am so obnoxious. Good to know it runs in the family.

Then on Wednesday we got ready and left for home. Tyler did pretty good in the car, as good as a two year old can during a four and a half hour car drive. It was good to be home. We leave on Saturday to drive to Twin Falls, Idaho for my cousins baby blessings. We are staying over night and it should be lots of fun to see more family. I just hope that he does well with the three hour car ride since we just got back from such a long trip. Luckily we have Tony's mom's CD player, so that definitely helps in the car. Should be fun!

Happy Birthday Tyler

Tyler turned 2 yesterday. I can't believe how fast time goes by. We had a fun day yesterday and today for Tylers birthday. Yesterday we took Tyler to Leatherby's for lunch and then Tony's parents took us all out to IHOP for Tyler's birthday dinner. It was lots of fun. We all went in Tony's mom's new car and got to see all the fun new gadgets that she has. Tyler really liked the DVD player that she has and being able to reach the button to open his window. Thanks to Lloyd and Margie for some good dinner and some good company.

Then today we had Tyler's birthday party with our families. I think that it went really well. Tony made a turkey and we had rolls, meatballs, fruit salad (thanks mom), veggies (thanks Sherri), and a yummy Costco cake. Tyler got lots of good presents (thanks to everyone). Tyler really loves them all. He got some cloths, a baseball bat and balls, a bowling set, a couple trucks, tools, basketball hoop, and a tricycle. He really did love them all. Overall I thought that everything went really well. No big problems or "situations", so that is always good. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated the day with us!



Tyler is doing some really fun things these days. He pretends to sneeze by saying "Ah chew." it is so cute. If we ask him what a fish does, then he puckers his lips and moves them up and down. So funny. I have no idea where he got that from, he is just so cleaver. He is talking a lot more too. I wish he talked a little more, but he is doing more and more each day. He is starting to say things together like, "please daddy" or "juice daddy" - so fun.
This really has been a great year with Tyler and I learn so much from him everyday (mostly patience, but still). He still LOVES sports. Anything with balls, he just loves. He is really good with them too. He can throw pretty far and can even catch the ball sometimes. He has a little football that he likes to get down (like the football players do) and then I say "hut, hut, hike" and then he runs and then throws the ball. So cute. He is so talented with so many different sports it will be interesting to see what he ends up doing when he is older. He is just a joy and Tony and I are so lucky to have such a great son. We love him very very much. Happy birthday Mijo, te quiero mucho!

Things to blog about...

It is Tyler's birthday on Friday and so we decided to get him a basketball hoop for his birthday. We got it on Saturday and decided to let him play with it early. He loved it. I really loves to play with all types of balls and we got him a little hoop when he was one, and he still likes to play with it so we knew that he would love a bigger one. It was pretty cold still that day, but the sun was out and that helped. Tyler really didn't care and had a great time. He is really impressive with the basketball. He would put it over his head and make a lot of his shots. I think that Tony likes the hoop almost as much as Tyler. Good thing we bought an extra ball for Tony to play with. Since Saturday we have brought it into the house and Tyler has played with it everyday. The hoop goes from 3 feet to 6 feet, so it better last a long time.

Tyler and I got sick again last week and we are still trying to get over it. I ended up getting pink eye in both of my eyes last Thursday and then Tyler got it on Monday. So Tyler is on an antibiotic and I have been doing eye drops. I have had the worst cough ever that just seems to linger. It really makes sleeping hard, but I do think that it is getting a little better. I sure can't wait until it starts getting warmer so that people will stop being so sick and passing it on to everyone else!

Last Sunday we went up to Logan and went to a baby blessing of our newest nephew, Mathew. It was a really nice blessing and we got to spend some time with Tony's family. It has been a long to since we have seen everyone and a good time was had.
