Suprised

Sorry ya'll that I have been absent again. I have been busy learning how to prepare for a baby girl. Basically what I have learned is go buy everything pink and cute and have a lot of money put back. No No, that was ONLY half the suggestions.
What I have really been doing is NESTING. You see our house is tiny..we have 3 bedrooms but I really needed that 3rd bedroom for storage. Well since baby girl needs a room the storage has to go somewhere. So each night this week I have been organizing and cleaning a room a night. I started with the master bedroom and I have worked my way all the way to the kitchen. The kitchen and laundry area are my last rooms to do tonight. THANK GOODNESS!!! I feel like if my house is disorganized or messy that my life is messy. So this gives me a clear head and makes me feel sooooo good. I am calling it my fall cleaning!!! So after the kitchen cleaning tonight I think I will buy myself something nice for all my hard work!!
So this Friday I get off at 12 and I am eating my weight in food and then shopping. I have bought a couple things for this little girl, but what I am trying to do is buy ahead for next summer. Right now everyone has summer clothes on clerance for around 2.00 so its the perfect time to buy. I also have bought a couple football shirts for Tucker....its almost that time :)
So to make a long story short..thats where I have been. Busy busy. I figured I better get busy now before I start swelling and too big to move.
As for names, we have a couple we need to decide on....or should I say I have a couple that husband doens't care for but will learn to love. And this week marks 21 weeks..wowzer!! I am OVER half way there since I go early :)

And Just because its sooo hard for me to imagine loving another child as much as I love him,....I mean it hurts my heart I love this kid so much. Look at that cowboy :)  I have been giving him TONS of attention just so he always knows I love him. I am affraid with another little one coming he will question me :(

Baby #2

Me or Nate never had an opinion or cared on what baby #2 would be. As long as they were a healthy baby we were just fine. Even if it wasnt' healthy, it was ours to love. We actually keep thinking of boys names, boy room ideas and how much fun Tucker would have with a baby brother.

Then tears rolled down my face yesterday b/c husband and I just knew we had seen boy parts...

Then the ultrasound tech said...


ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously.....I was shocked!!!! I knew all about boy stuff. I knew you buzzed their heads and never had to brush their hair. I knew to have them wear gym shorts and baseball tee shirts all summer and they were cute. They are sooo easy and I liked it.
But boy or boy...I really think I am going to have fun with a GIRL!!! I can do this. I am "that" kind of mom to have a girl. I like all the frillies.
Nathan and I are truly blessed!!! One of each!!!

Just keep us in your prayers as we make this journey and that little girl will stay very healthy!

Wedding day........

The wedding day was picture perfect. The bride was gorgeous and everything turned out perfect otherwise. Me, well I was busting out of my dress but I was making it work. :) Hey I am 5 months pregnant

My little family of 3...almost 4!

The bride and myself

he LOVES weddings!! such a dancer

AND in other news...i found out the sex of baby #2 today....tune in tomorrow to find out :)

Wedding weekend!!!

This weekend I was in my cousin Annah's wedding. It was a BLAST to say the least. The thing about Annah is we grew up as sisters more so than cousins. There aren't very many memories that don't involve having her in them. We are forever friends and I was honored to be a part of her big day. I love wedding weekends :) On Friday my sister in law and I held a bridal luncheon for her. Although my sister in law Jin couldn't be here, she was here in spirit and helped me make some of the decor. I will show  A LOT of pictures here so be ready, but everyone who knows me knows I like to throw GREAT parties

 The wreath on the front door!!!

 The bridesmaids table

Cute chair wreaths!

The cake area!!!!

 The mothers table was a mini version of our table

 The miniature cakes were added to the cake table

 the bar area is where we served appetizers!!

 The table with lit candles

 the bride and bridesmaids ( I am on the end in purple with heels so I look tall)

 the wine bucket and appetizers

more appetizers and a vase with the bride's initials and colorful beads!!!

Everything turned out GREAT!!! Just like we had planned. The decor I can explain in detail later but I was proud of what we had done! We served 7 layer salad, pasta salad with chicken and rolls. And for dessert everyone enjoyed a small cake!

I will be back with wedding pics soon.

A little fuzzy

Tucker and I are both down with a sinsus infection. And you guys know that "we" dont matter so much anymore when we are sick. Its all about getting those babies well.

Tucker seems to be doing better. Me, well I slept about 2 hours last night and my throat is on fire. I am really really trying to NOT take any medication. I want to treat it with fruit and water, but my eyes are burning out of my head as I type this so I might have to cave soon and take something.

I am half way THERE this week! Whoop Whoop :) (since I go early 38 or 39 weeks)

That is nuts to think about me having 2 kids in 19 weeks. WOW.

Anyways, I am preparing for one of my best friends/cousins weddings in the next week and praying I fit in my dress. Weddings are so much fun and soooo much work, so thats where my head as been.

Sorry its a lame update, but remember my eyes are burning out of my head here.....

Told ya so....

I told you I would be blogging again very soon. 2 days in a row, wowzers!!!
This is another baby post, they all wont be about babies and toddlers. Well I take that back, yes they will all be about babies and toddler probably because that is what my LIFE is right now..duh

I don't have long to talk to today, I have a play date with some of my best girlfriends and their kiddos. How fun right?? Don't mind me looking like a whale in my swimsuit either.

Here are some questions I get asked a lot that I thought I would finally answer:

*Do you crave anything? No and yes. With Tucker I craved sweets. Oreos to be exact. This baby doesn't like to eat sweets. I want to eat sweets all the time, but my stomach tells me no. I want anything salty with a big glass of milk, Gross huh??

*How big are you? I have a lot of people tell me I am not very big....those people are lying!!! I dont' think i am as big as I was with Tucker at this point..how is that you ask. Well, when I was pregnant with Tucker I slept, and rested, and ate, and slept and rested and ate oreos. With baby Deuce....I dont' get as much as rest as I like, I am STILL working 40 hours a week, keeping a house and chasing a toddler. And sometimes I forget to eat. So I will be posting pictures of the comparison very soon and let you decide!!!

* I will have an exact date of when baby Deuce will be born soon. My doctor will be scheduling me c-section again because I had one with Tucker. I am on edge with this. I enjoy knowing exactly when the baby will come and I am scared out of mind too!!!!Remember Tucker was big(even early) and I never progressed so NO need to relive all that again huh

* Do we have names. NO NO, thats why this baby is being called baby Deuce. (#2). We haven't even talked names really...I have thrown some around in my head but nothing serious. Seems the second child is a little different than the first. Sorry, but its true. We will probably talk names the day before it arrives...or maybe after August 17th when we know the sex.

* Why arey you finding out the sex: Because for one, I am a crazy planner and like all my ducks in a row and it will drive me insane and my blood pressure will sky rocket. So I need to know the sex to prepare mentally. Seriously guys....I am OCD that way. Also, the spare room where baby Deuce is going to stay..is stacked with junk and I need motivation to clean it out. And I am high risk during pregnancies, so I get an ultrasound every 3-4 weeks and it hard to look at that screen ALL the time and NOT know.

* Also, I have not bought one thing for this baby. I know, its sad. We WANT this baby..believe me. But its different when you have another child in the cart staring at you with big blue eyes that really WANTS the toy story toy. You end up just buying him the toy and figure the second baby will get something next time.

It happened again!!

I have to be getting some kind of "Worst updated blog EVER" award. I will let you know when that award come in the mail and I can take a picture and maybe post it a month later. I am horrible about updating this thing, and not that there is a crowd of people waiting to hear what I say...BUT I want to keep this blog for my own memory.  So I am going to do better ...from here on OUT! promise :)

What has been going on....well lots of Dr. appts lately for baby deuce. I went to see a specialist 2 weeks ago just to make sure baby deuce is developing fine and everything looks GREAT!!! Praise GOD :). I asked what the sex was and he said "He can't tell yet" hummmmm..got my wheels a spinning. I am 17 weeks this week and we get to truly find out the sex of baby deuce on August 17th. That day can not come soon enough!!!!! Seriously, the planner in my is about to go nutso! I need to know if I need to sell all Tucker's clothes and buy pink...or rehang them in the other room :)

Speaking of the "other room" we have a lot to do. We will need to reorganize the whole house and clear out space for baby deuce. This is slated to begin after August 17th (because I am busy until then) so watch out...I will for sure be nutso during the cleaning out time

How am I doing?? The sickness left at 12 weeks...however, after I eat too much, not enough or the wrong thing the sickness can come back. Its weird, but I feel like I have been kinda sick this WHOLE pregnancy. Oh well. I am growing fastly...I can still wear almost all of jeans but they are TIGHT!!! I need butter to get into them. I am wearing some of my longer shirts and everything is still fine there too, but the maternity clothes are coming out SOON :)

Tucker knows there is a baby in my belly...and he thinks most other people have a baby in theirs too.

And on a final note. We are know proud owners of a pony. Her name is May! And we love her. I am an animal lover anyways, so it only took me a day to get attached to her. Tucker loves her too. He screams to go see May-May everyday :) Just another typical day on the Dirnberger farm.

There is much more to add...but I Will update again...
