Update

Here are some recent pictures. Connor is almost 16 months now and it is weird to say that. When I think about him I still consider him to be a baby, even though he is looking really grown up. We haven't really been doing anything too exciting lately. I have just been going to school and working. School is going great, I love all my classes and I am finally to a point where I enjoy going to class everday.I am 24 weeks pregnant now. My belly is definitely getting bigger everyday now. It still doesn't seem like I am actually going to have two kids pretty soon. Anyway, as for our house, we started building a couple of weeks ago and it is really coming along. They are finishing up the foundation this week and hopefully start framing it by next week. I will post some pictures of it when it gets a little further along.

Six Flags

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever with school starting again and being gone every weekend. Anyway, I started school last Monday and ever since then I feel like I don't have the chance to even get on the computer for anything other than school or work, it's actually quite annoying. My mom has been wanting to take the kids down to the zoo in San francisco or somewhere that has animals. So Last weekend my Mom, Danielle, Vickie, and I took the kids down to Six Flags in Vallejo. It was actually a grandma's trip but I think that they felt bad leaving us at home:)) We flew out of Mckinleyville on Friday night and got rental a car. We stayed at a hotel that was right across the street from the park (which was really nice and convienient). On Saturday we were there the whole day. I think it was the longest that Connor has ever gone without a nap. The kids enjoyed it so much that we went back the next day. I turned out to be Hispanic day and the park was pretty crowded so we didn't stay long. We went back to the hotel and took the kids to the pool ordered dinner in and watched a movie, it was a perfect couple of days. On Monday we drove back to San Francisco and attemped to go shopping at Union Square, it didn't work out so well, too many people and every store we went into had so many stairs. After a few stores Danielle and I looked at each other and both said "are you ready to go?" Needless to say we went to pier 39 and had lunch at an excellent seafood/pasta resturant Scomas. We flew back home that evening. It was so nice to not have to be in the car for 6 hours each way. Here are some pictures from the trip, my camera was dead most of the time so I have to get more pictures from my sister, I'll upload them later.

100% sure

I went in today for the follow up ultrasound just to make sure what the sex of the baby is. And it is definitely still a boy. It was kind of hard to see at first because the umbillical cord was right in between his legs, but with some movement and a little patience she was able to determine that there was something there.

Pregnancy

So I went to the doctor last week for my first ultrasound. I was 17 weeks pregnant. This whole time that I have been pregnant it seems so much different than with Connor I guess it is because I am not consumed by the thought of being pregnant everyday. With Connor I remember reading all of the books and it seemed like that was all that I thought about all the time. Don't get me wrong I don't want to sound like am not excited, I am, but I guess I am just suprised at how much faster it is going by and how much less the thought comes to my mind. I go is tomorrow to see what the sex is for sure. When I went in last week the ultrasound tech said that she was pretty sure but not definitely sure that is a BOY. Which is funny because right before we went into the room I asked Mikey to guess what he thought it was going to be and he said a boy. When I was laying there and she was showing us everything I thought that I saw something between the legs, but what do I know!! As for names I have always liked: Cameron, Kasen, Kale, Lucas. Think that we are leaning towards Lucas David. That is one of the only names that Mikey really likes. But who knows it will probably change from now till then. I will update tomorrow with the final answer and with pictures.

Redding

Last weekend Danielle and I took the kids over to Redding. It was really hot so we went to the waterslides a couple of days. On Saturday we went to a bridal shower for my cousin Sashelle. It turned out really nice. Mikey and the rest of my family met us over there on Friday night. On Saturday while we were at the shower Mikey and my uncle went riding in Red Bluff at a really nice motorcylce track. He definitely loves to ride. This weekend we are going to go up to the lake and he is taking his bike over in hopes that one of the days he will be able to go back over to Red Bluff and do it all over agian.

This picture is the day we left it was taken right after Connor woke up from his nap. I loved how he was resting his hand on his face copying my dad.
