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!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Just wanted to come on and Say Happy New year to Everyone!!!!! Granted its only 10:42 here but we're going to be heading to bed. So I thought I'd come on and geta head start on it. We wentto the Neiharts(yes Iknow I probably spelled it wrong). We enjoyed the company and on top of us getting to hang out with friends, KalieAnn did too. Well this tired girl is heading to bed! God Bless!

Christmas & New Year!!

I know its late but I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and soon tobe Happy New year!!! We had Mitchell's Mom and Dad come up for Christmas. It was def. a lot of fun. I wore myself out trying to finish mom's blanket, which is the picture of the blue blanket up there. Sneaking off into our room during the day to working on it. Plus staying up late and getting up early. I was really excited when it was finished on Christmas day and no not because "Oh my Gosh I finally got it done" excitement. It was the first Afghan I have ever finished!!!!! So It was like an exciting "I can't believe I did it!" I'm not sure if you can see the pattern but its got like a wave type pattern in it. Now I have a new found hope that I can knit blankets and get them finished! The best part about it, is it only took a week and a half!!! So A couple days ago I decided with this new found hope to try and learn a knitting technique. So I started a baby blanket that would help me to learn how to increase and decrease stitches!! Guess What!!! It Looks Great!!! Who would have known!!!!!

It was Hannah's first Christmas and I think the first Christmas KalieAnn really knew what was going on.

The doll house was a project that his Mom, Dad and Mitchell worked on. They worked really hard all Christmas Eve to get it done and try to keep it a secret from KalieAnn. But KalieAnn being her mothers daughter found out about it that night. She was walking with Grandma downstairs to find Grandpa and KalieAnn says "Grandpa's working on my doll house!" So much for it being a surprise lol! Well we had a wonderful Christmas and hope you did too! If I don't get on here before the New Year....Happy New Year!!!!! God Bless!!!!

Camera!

Our Camera broke on us last night!!! I think Camera's don't like me. I mean this is our third camera. Our first Camera liked us but we replaced it with one that died and then we got our third which died on us last night. It fell off the couch and landed on the lens. Jammed up the lens. So My moms being REALLY nice and sending us the Kodak that we gave her to use till we can afford to replace it! But for now I am without a camera. :( Oh well.. Everything else is going good...Just wanted to let everyone know our camera's broken.

9 Month Check Up

Hannah's 9 month Check up was yesterday. She's a very healthy and happy baby but showed some of her true personality to the doctor. The doctor noticed that yes I do have my hands full with these two. I have had a week of fights, tantrums, and teething. I felt like my head was spinning at moments and yes you read right...teething. Hannah broke her first tooth through this week. That brought up a funny moment at the doctors office yesterday.

He asked how Hannah was doing with her teething and Mitchell says "I haven't noticed anything different." and I just snorted back "Yeah right." The doctor laughed."He's only saying what he knows when he's home." I just lifted my eyebrows and said "mhmm." There are very few moments where the girls show their true colors and when he's working he tends to come home right before Hannah's bed time. Mitchell and the doctor knowing this we all got a laugh out of it. And if you're reading this thinking that I am saying my husband isn't a great Dad, your wrong. My Husband is an awesome Dad. When he's home the girls get really excited to see him and want to cuddle and play with Dad. That being said their Daddy's little Girls.

Anywhoo...Hannah is back in the 90Th percentile for her height and 80Th for her weight. She's 29 1/2in long and 20lbs 14ounces. We're getting out her 18 months clothes now because she's out grown some of her 12 month pants. She got her first booster shot and some blood tests done. Hannah amazes us when she gets her shots. The only time she starts to cry is when she gets tired of being held down. Even for her blood being drawn out of her finger. I was sitting in the waiting room wait to hear her scream. Next thing I know Mitchell's walking out saying they we're finished. I was confused. KalieAnn at this age recognized the lab where she had to get her shots and would scream the moment we would enter. I can't tell you how different these weirdo girls are but that's to be expected.

Now I got to start figuring out how to get Hannah to drink from a Sippy cup. With KalieAnn, she wasn't on bottles. She went straight to sippy cups. Which leaves me with the question how do I get Hannah to go from bottle to sippy cup or to even drink juice out of her sippy cup. I'm sure we'll figure out in due time. Well its Friday and I am behind on the house because I caught a small cold this week. So I'm off. God Bless!!!
