Another Baby!!



It's crazy how fast they grow and change.

Casen looks completely different now!


I feel soooo behind with everyday things. All household chores are put off because all I can think about when I wake up is when I will get to go back to sleep. I cannot describe my exhaustion. I'm trying to finish "Breaking Dawn" and when I pick it up, I get into it, but I start falling asleep so fast I can't help it. My household things are being put off because I'm so nauseated that I don't want to move unless I have to, and although eating something will make me feel better, I don't want to think about food or it makes me feel worse. What a weird thing!! Yes, I'm pregnant. And Yes, it was planned. I don't miss any of this process so far. My pregnancy with Casen wasn't horrible, I just wish I would have done a lot of things different to have not felt horrible. I didn't work out, (HUGE mistake!!) and I ate out a ton!! I just didn't seem to care about the weight that I put on. I really want to turn things around with this one. I am still working out with my trainer everyday, and I plan to go everyday ALL through my pregnancy. (Today is an exception, my car isn't starting!) I am doing a 5K run in November which should be fun. I'm just really excited to see how much difference it makes to keep my body healthy. I know it will make me feel so much better and it will be better for the baby too. Anyway, those are just some random thoughts. We are so excited for the baby. I go to the Dr. next week to hear the heartbeat. The kids will be 18 months apart. I'm due May 17Th. Hopefully I can get back to my normal self here soon without nausea or exhaustion.


A few other things going on lately, we had so much fun with Matt & Melissa Larson last night at the first Suns game of the season. I'm sad we didn't get a picture. Emilee and Todd blessed baby Jeremiah a few weeks ago. Thatw as so special. I just love that me and all of my sisters and sister in laws are all having kids now. It's so much fun and so special.

Jenna Lee said...

Congrats again, I still can't believe that you are already prego, hopefully we won't be far behind you!! And way to go on still keeping up with exercising... I must say if I was not feeling good and tired I would not be making it to the gym so way to go!!

Amber Howard said...

Laura Blue said...

congrats on the great news! glad to hear that you are going to try to keep up the working out... that will be a great accomplishment. so was this planned? that's a good distance apart i think. can't wait for you to find out what the gender is... i know that's a little ways away, but still. how exciting!

Tiffany said...

What!? Oh my gosh, CONGRATS! How fun to have two little ones so close in age! My older sister and I are 18 months apart. She is one of my best friends and we had so much fun growing up so close in age! Wow! I am so happy for you guys! I hope you start feeling better soon...I am sure it is hard taking care of a little one while feeling so sick and exhausted.
(P.S. When is your due date? We are expecting as well but Shhhh cuz I haven't announced it on my blog just yet... :) I am 9 weeks along so our due dates may be pretty close... Congrats again!)

Erin said...

Whoo hoo!! That's exciting. Congratulations! I am so impressed with you and your working out. I feel like it's just so hard to get to the gym now that I have a baby and there you are... baby AND pregnant and still getting to the gym. Good for you. You make me want to try a little harder! Oh, and I hope you have a girl!

Lanae said...

We are sooo excited for you guys!!!Great job staying fit, you look amazing and good luck with the run...quite a goal. Hope you feel better soon, call if Casen wants to come play with the boys while you grab a nap.

DEANNA said...

It will pass. The fact that you are in the gym and working out for you and that little bindle is so swesome lady. If people who read your blog only had half an idea of what you do at the gym.. they would fall over.

You are such an inspiration to me. I can't even imagine having done crossfit while I was pregnant.

I hope that you just wake up one day and Whew.. jump out of bed with energy that amazes you! Until then, just think of the amazing little muchie that is growing so fast and eating up all your energy!

I can not wait to see your little baby belly grow. One of these days we should go out to lunch after our workouts!!!

CONGRATULATIONS! I had quickly looked at your blog a while ago, but didn't read anything...Wow! Exciting! It will be fun to have 2 so close together.

Taylor and Stephanie Haught said...

Congratulations! My two oldest kids are 17 months apart. I think you will love it! The first few months were a little crazy but I would not change a thing! I love the bond they have with eachother. Good luck and keep us posted!

Tiffany said...

Congrats you guys! That will be so fun to have them so close. My two are 17 months apart and I Love it. They play so well together and it is so fun!
Well it looks like in about 2 weeks we will be moving in finally. So then we will start coming to that ward. It seems like I havent seen you in forever.

Congratulations! We are waiting on #3 right now. Natalie is due the end of March (she did not want to have another late summer baby and be BIG pregnant all summer long). This one is scarier than the rest, because now the kids outnumber the adults. I don't know how my parents did it with 10!

Congrats! Good luck with the 5k!
