babies...


Little Peanut

So this awkward Ultra sound is of our little squirt on her/his hands and knees like a little animal. But it's really in there! I went in to my first prenatal visit last friday thinking I was about 10 weeks (2 1/2 months) pregnant and the doctor goes "no, your about 4 months along" I was shocked (first, because this means I conceived sometime in November and I took 4 preggo tests -including a blood test at school - the beginning of Dec and they were all negative), I am about a month and a week further than I thought I was. So according to the Doctor I'm due around August 12 (according to the ultrasound pic I'm due the 10th). Our baby had an irregular heartbeat though so we're going to do a more advanced ultrasound next week to see if there are any problems. I'm a little concerned but I also know that it's a new heart and the kinks are getting all worked out still (also, I read caffeine can affect it as well and I had drank a coke before the appointment so....) we'll see. We might even be able to find out the sex, which is pretty darn exciting!

In other news - we got into TVA (married couple housing) for Spring term so we are incredibly excited that our rent will be dropping $400 a month (phew!). Bannock is about to turn the big 2 - and he's preparing us for it everyday. Last Sunday he made the worst mess he's ever made - we woke up to find an entire carton of raspberries smeared into our carpet, couches, kitchen table and not to mention Bannocks hands and feet! We were pretty pissed - but how do you discipline a two year old who doesn't think he's done anything wrong (or won't react to consequences like time-outs, etc.)??? Anyway - life is getting exciting and with that comes lots and lots of stress. Sean and I are due for a much needed vacation, or at least a date night!
