My life is pretty much boring. I guess that is good. Boring is much better then full of trauma and drama. I did get a pretty bad cold last week. But luckily the Lord blessed me and it didn't stick around too long. I am starting to feel a little better too.
Pregnancy wise, I think that I am doing better. I don't throw up as much as I had been and I feel like I'm not as tired as I was. These are all very good things since I am well into my second trimester and should be feeling good now. I am about 16 1/2 weeks right now. I think that I have felt the baby move a couple times, but it is still hard to say for sure. I have my next appointment in two weeks and have scheduled our ultrasound for November 7th. We are super excited. I keep trying to tell Tyler that this baby might be a boy and not a girl, but he pretty much won't hear it. He says that he will be sad if it's another brother. That is not good. I really don't have "feelings" either way, but for Tyler and Tony I hope it's a girl. But for me, I really would be a okay with another boy. I have all the boy cloths and toys and I am now a pro at boys. So I will be super happy just to know that everything is okay with the next Steenblik baby to join our team.
Koda is doing better too. He is learning and being better. He is definitely still a puppy and chews like crazy and he likes to steal food from the kids, but we are working on those things. We have lots of toys for him, so we just try to make sure that they are available for his chewing needs. We are looking into puppy training schools so we can do more training with him. Tony has done some, but I think it will be good to get him in with someone who knows more about this sort of thing. For the most part I am glad that the dog is here. I do feel safer going on walks with my boys with the dog. I wanted a bigger dog to help me feel more safe while we are home without Tony. Not that I think our neighborhood isn't safe, but it sure does help - no matter where you live.
I have been starting to work on my scheduling for the holiday season and it is making me very excited for everything to come. I love the holidays. I love the sites, sounds, smells...everything. I enjoy being pregnant during the holiday months because it makes the time go by faster. I am excited to see family we don't see very often and just enjoy being together as a family. I have started thinking about what I want to do for my neighbor gifts and it just makes me excited. I know I am super early, but when you are a stay-at-home mom whose bored, you need somethings to look forward to.

Glad to hear things are good, even if that means kind of boring. Oh, you are so brave with a new puppy and pregnancy. I didn't make it. When we had our dog we decided to use barkbusters. They were incredible. It costs $500, but that covers you for the whole life of your dog, and they come to your house as much as you need them, whenever you need them. They teach you how to teach your dog, because your dog needs to respect you and respond to you. Our dog was doing sooo good, I just didn't have the energy to deal with a dog, so I finally told Devon we had to get rid of him. If I had some help it might have been different, but I was the only one who took the time to take care of him, especially in terms of training and playing with him. I hope, hope, hope for you that you are more successful than me at enduring those puppy years. I knew I just needed to get through it and then we would LOVE having our dog for so many reasons. We will probably try again in a few years... when we aren't going to be having any more babies and the youngest is no longer a baby.
