This morning I woke up to get ready to go to our appointment for our ultrasound. I told KalieAnn, "We are going to the doctors so we can get pictures of the Baby in Mommy's tummy." She was thrilled. "I want to see the Baby Mommy!" I was a little nervous because I was curious how exactly they do the first Ultrasound. If they go in, how uncomfortable is this going to be but turns out they did it just like a regular ultrasound. Yay! It was kind of relaxing and exciting to see the baby. Its heart beat was at 170 and is about the size of a peanut. She said that I am 8 weeks and 3 days along. Which put my due date at Sept. 8, 2009. Just two days later. Well I'm off to get the house ready for a friend to come over.Friday, January 30, 2009

Swim Class
Well I have a couple things to post. First off, Mitchell and I finsihed off last week completely frustrated with Allstate for not canceling the policy like they were suppose too. Using the excuse that I had to be the one to call and cancel. When I asked why didn't you inform my husband of this..they would continuelly say "He didn't ask" He shouldn't freakin have to people!!!!!! To keep the story short they had me going in circles the whole day. Mitchell meets me for my dental appointment and he has it done in an hour..so frustrating.
The main thingI wanted to report the scare we got at KalieAnn's swim class last night. Let me tell you..from here on out I will be paying attention to my kid the whole time. I don't care what the instructor says. When we started her on swim classes KalieAnn would throw fits that the instructor wouldn't baby her when she noticed I was looking. Well this is one class after but I figured same rules. Mitchell and I were talking to a parent and from the view we were at you just see a line of heads. Its hard to differentiate the kids.
Anyway, next thing Mitchell and I noticed is a mother sprinting. I remember thinking she might slip....little did I realize she was sprinting to save my kids life! Somehow KalieAnn had gotten off the step they put down in the water. The lady told meshe had been tredding the water fora while before she went under. She said when she saw her go under she started to look around thinking somebody has to be paying attention. When she realized nobody was paying attention. Not even the lifeguard that is there to back up the instructors thats when she sprinted to KalieAnn and I saw her reach into the water and pull her out. I waited for a second to see how KalieAnn would react and she started screaming! Don't blame the poor girl. I ran over there and her breathing was heavy, I remembered from a swimm class a couple of summers ago when she swallowed a lot water they told me to hold her arms up..it helps open up her lungs. So I helped her arms up and when her breathing started to slow down had her start walking away. Then my poor girl threw up on the swim deck. Mitchell had to go get the lifeguard to inform on whats going on...talk about not paying attention!!! So next week I will be sitting where that lady was. She said over there its a straight on view. You can see each of the kids. She's fine now. I've been keeping an eye on her and after her three hour nap today she seemed more like herself.
But let me tell you. I had to talk my kid into GOING to her Preschool time at YMCA. Usually its my kid rushing me out the door and telling me how to get there. Once she realized which class we were going to she was okay with it. She also had woken up with a really nasty cough which a seperate swim instructor told Mitchell might happen. They said don't put her to bed early(she went to bed at 11pm), that she might get a cough but if she throws up again that we def. need to have her looked at. Well for the good news she didn't throw up again. I asked her teacher this morning to keep an eye on her and she did. By the end of class her cough was gone and my little girl started acting like herself again. She took almost a 3 hour nap and is now completely back to my usually KalieAnn. So I am able to relax and know that she is truly fine.
For a Happier update. Last night Hannah made her first steps going back and forth between Mitchell and I. More soo towards her Dadda. I tell you what this little girl is becoming such a Daddy's girls. I've been trying to get her to say Momma all day and she giggles at me. Then says Dadda. Another thing she did today was inform me shewanted a baba and when my response was I'll get it in a minute. She crawled to her "baba" and then crawled back and put it in my lap.

Okay so last Saturday we made the decision to go start looking for vehicles. We decided to do this because come this summer we are going to need a buy a bigger vehicle. Three car seats won't fit in the back of my Saturn Ion. The first place we decided to check out was the Dodge Dealership. Well they had two vehicles there that we REALLY liked. the first was a 2003 Chevy Trail Blazer and the second is a 2005 Dodge Durango. They were both priced around 11,000 dollars. Which lets face it is a Great Deal. So he talked us into test driving them and to be honest it didn't take much. After the test drives Mitchell and I really sat there pondering whether or not we should try to finance the vehicle now. The big thing was that if we waited these vehicles a might not be there or b not at this price. So needless to say we went and talked with the guy about how it would work if we decided to see if we could finance one of the vehicles. He explained how it worked and parked the two vehicles side by side so we could decide better on which one we would want. Needless to Say come monday we find out we got approved and bought the Dodge Durango. It seats seven people has just a little bit more mileage that my Saturn did. Which if everyone knows only had 43000 miles on it. The Durango has 47000 on it.
So here comes the frustration of buying a new vehicle and being in the military. The wonderful insurance company that we thought we had Allstate was giving us a big run around. They kept telling us that because one vehicle is registered in Cali and this new vehicle will be registered here in MN that we have to do two different policies..that they can't be on one. They wanted us to pay 133 dollars just for the Dodge Durango when were paying 91 dollars for both our vehicles previously. Well Mitchell and I were like yeah okay. I want my vehicles on the same policies and not for that much. So I called my agent back in Cali and told her what this guys said. By the way this guy also informed that after living in MN for six months that we are required to set our residencies here in MN. We kindly told him like Mitchell has cops around here that have pulled him over for some pretty stupid stuff...realizes he lives here and will fight just give him a warning...that in the military because we move so much we leave our home of residents in one spot. So my agent back in Cali called their underwriters while Mitchell started calling around to other insurance companies to get their quotes. She called back saying that because both vehicles are in the same garage in the same state we can have them on the same policies but doesn't know the rates for MN insurance. So I left it up to Mitchell from there. Needless to say Allstate wouldn't stop the run around saying that we should just go and become MN residents. So Mitchell said screw you and went with Geico who was nice about the whole thing. With Geico we're paying 83 dollars I think for both vehicles. We are now proud Geico customers and no longer fans of Allstate.
Other than the frustrations with the insurance companies yesterday everything else is going well. I could do with out the nausea spells that I have been getting at night and my body being extremely picky over what foods I eat. But hey I'm Pregnant! It comes with the territory. So as the days go by that I'm really hungry for a certain food we don't have I just add to our grocery list and try to make do with whats in the house...which to be honest isn't working out so well...I'll eat what we have and its makes me feel sick. The upside is tomorrow is payday and I can go get that grocery list. I am also slowly starting to get excited about this pregnancy. yay! What helps is knowing that I have a very helpful husband. Last night to be honest was the crappiest I have felt and he did what he could to take care of everything so I could lay down. I think he is doing everything he can to get me excited. Including getting that vehicle. That helps me not worry about having to get a vehicle that our family will fit in...we have one now. so now I know that no matter what we're going to be good. He just needs to reenlist.
The only other Update that we have right now is that our Ultrasound is Scheduled for the 30Th. Well I'm off God Bless!

OB Confirmation
We had our OB Confirmation appointment this morning. It went well...and as expected. The due date is Sept. 6 2009 and wants to have the beginning ultrasound in a couple weeks to confirm the due date. He's pretty sure the due date is right but because the only two periods I have had weren't completely consistent he just wants to make sure. So as I am still trying to wrap my head around having a third am I continually taking care of the two I have.
This morning at YMCA KalieAnn gave me a moment where I just got completely frustrated and the first thought that popped in my head was "And your pregnant with the third?" She threw the biggest tantrum because she couldn't play with a ball and ended up having to drag her to the car.
As for Hannah...she is still growing like a weed. She knows how to climb up stairs and is starting to try to balance to stand.

Pregnant!
Well we got an interesting present for our 5th Wedding Anniversary. We found out this evening that we are now expecting our third!Mitchell is truly excited and don't get me wrong I am excited but along with my excitement comes nervousness. I have moments during the day where the two drive me nuts and I wonder if I can even handle another one. What keeps me calm and excited is this one thing. I wouldn't be pregnant if God didn't think I could handle it. That keeps me calm. What keeps me excited is I love our kids!
Now the only reason we know..well...theres a picture of it up above..yes you guessed right...the pregnancy test...and I'm a week late on my period! So now we need to schedule the doctors appointment. I looked online and according to online our due date will be September 5, 2009. Which makes me 5 weeks along. Well there's the news. I think I am going to go enjoy the rest of our evening!!
In Case some of you read this prior to this edit...yes I did add this on...I thought I would add Mitchell's theory on this baby. Its going to be a Boy and its going to be born on the 3rd of September. Some don't catch on so fast to the 3rd of Sept. So let me explain. KalieAnn our first child was born on the 1st October and Hannah our second child was born on the 2nd of March. So Wa La! The hope of our third child being born on the 3rd of September! And for some...why boy? Well he really wants his boy. :) God Bless!!!
