New Baby

Since i am so close to my due date and i haven't posted in a while i thought it was time i should. Brent and I are expecting our second baby girl on Halloween! this pregnancy has been 100 times better than my first. I don't get sick every morning and i'm not counting the moments until she is here like i did with madison. I think that maybe it is because i have madison keeping me busy all day, i hardly have a moment to think about other things.

Dont get me wrong, i love how busy i am now that i am a mom. its just hard while i am 8 months pregnant. I can only get things done when Maddy takes her nap or goes to bed, otherwise she follows behind me and makes more of a mess while i am cleaning. she has started having more tantrums when she doesn't get her way and i have to try my hardest not to laugh because her scowling face is just so cute!

I posted a video on Facebook of the new baby wiggling like crazy in my belly. that wasn't a one time thing, she is constantly moving like that and my belly feels so bruised. She also likes to kick my hip bones which really hurts. sometimes its so bad i cant move and Brent has to push her foot away from my hip. Because my belly doesn't get very big when i'm pregnant the baby doesn't have much space and i'm really sick of feeling like i just ate way to much food, and my belly button is popping out so much that it looks like i have another belly growing. As much as i love my babies i really do not like what i have to go through to get them here.

Im glad i am almost done with this pregnancy and will soon get to meet my new little girl. Madison is excited to! she knows there is a baby in my belly and she is always kissing it and saying "baby". She is going to be such a good big sister!

Thanksgiving!

Last night was Madison's first thanksgiving at grandpa and grandma Parkers house. Dinner was delicious as always, even Madison enjoyed the regular and sweet potatoes. I ate so much food and i still wanted more. After supper we all went on a walk to the park and grandpa put Madison in the swing, she LOVED it! she was laughing and kicking her legs, someone took a video of it and needs to send that to me please.

Madison has learned so much more in that past month or so, she doesn't crawl yet but pushes herself backwards around the living room with her hands. I bought her a toothbrush since she now has 5 teeth! but i never have to brush her teeth because she does it all on her own. she gets frustrated when she sees you doing something that she can't because she is in such a rush to grow up. When you hold her hands while she is standing she tries to shake you off so she can go on her own, but she doesn't have the balance yet.

We have also moved into our new place and absolutely love it! It is a million times better than our old place, no mice or mice poop, no ticks in Maddy's crib, no porcupines or badgers outside, oh and when we were packing we found a dead mouse in one of the bedrooms covered in maggots, thats right maggots! gross!!! but at least our water is now reliable all the time, same with the power. We don't have to deal with the crazy big snow banks that cover our car. and the only animals in our new place are fish. oh and we now have internet and t.v! things we couldn't get at our old place.

Right now life is good, i have a healthy baby girl, a wonderful boyfriend that goes to work every day and takes such good care of us, a beautiful home, and everything else that makes my life a million times less stressful. This thanksgiving i have a lot to be thankful for.

SHAY RIGGIN

Meet Shay!!

she is my stepsister and thinks she is just so cool as you can tell from this picture.

Don't you just think she is so beautiful at her best.

Shay cant do a lot of things due to being short, like getting stuff off the shelf (any shelf) or getting things out of my hands when i hold them above my head, she cant see many things in a crowed or run very fast, and my baby is almost as big as here, But she sure can take a wonderful grad picture.

So ya this is shay, again she is my stepsister, there is no blood relation so thank goodne

ss my family wont get her photogenic quality's.

But still we have fun together!

It has been forever since i have writen a blog, and so much has happend since my last post. Madison has grown so much, she is rolling over, standing if you balance her, cooing all the time, grabs her toys, puts everything in her mouth, eats with a spoon and loves carrots.

New years

For new years I went out with Brent, Bryan, and my mom. We ended up going to a local bar that wasnt to busy and just hung out. By 1 oclock i was soooo tired and just wanted to go to bed so of course on the way home we had to stop in at burger king and get chicken sandwiches, sooo good.

Im so excited for this new year, for one thing im going to become a mom!!! Its all i think about now, Brent says all i do is feel my belly and watch it move, but thats because our baby girl is in there and i just cant believe she will be here in two months!! This year is deffidently going to be very busy but a lot of fun. I really want to get a video camera as soon as i can so i cant get lots of video of our babys first year of life. I cant wait to not be pregnant anymore, im so tired of being sick and now im out of pills so its about to get a lot worse :(

christmas

I had a very nice christmas this year. Brent and i were able to make it to both my mom and dads on christmas day, and received some really awesome gifts. we absolutly love our new toaster oven and our george forman grill, and cant wait to use the baby blanket kristy made us. We would have loved to be able to travel to Brents parents for christmas but it just wasnt working out with money and work. But we did recieve a package from them and loved everything we got!! I love using my cuddlebug and cant wait to scrapbook my babys pictures.

20 weeks pregnant

so i am now 20 weeks pregnant and halfway through my pregnancy!! I am still feeling sick every day and have not felt the baby move yet, but i had an ultrasound done and the baby is very healthy, we even saw it yawning and got a picture of it! just about the cutest thing i have ever seen.
The only changes i have noticed in myself is my growing belly, always always tired, emotional rollercoster, my nails are growing 10x faster than normal and my back is always killing me. But its all going to be worth it when i finally get to hold my beautiful little baby.
Brent and I have only been able to think of names for girls but are stumped on boy names, we cant think of a single one!! and even when one of us thinks of a good name the other one is not a fan of that name.
As for cravings i am in love with oranges and orange juice!!! soooo good and the only food that does not end up in the toilet. i am on my third box of christmas oranges in two weeks!! they are just so good!
