Who would have thought I would be pregnant at the end of 2013, because I sure didn't see that coming. Did I plan on it in 2014, yes. Of course we did plan for baby number 2 but we thought it would take longer than expected. So here we are going to be a family of 4 in May and we all can't wait to expand this family of ours. Looking back this year was pretty amazing. Dec 31-Jan. 1 We started the year off by taking pregnancy test . Yep, how intriguing is it that on this day last year I was taking pregnancy test. And today I am actually pregnant :). February One of my favorite months of the year. Megan's birthday! It was Megan's birthday all week long this past year. She had never blew her birthday candles on her own and this year she did. In 2014 we will be doing a monster high theme party, as she requested. We also have one more thing in store for her but it wont take place until Spring break. March March was filled with Midterms,  birthday cards and ...

I have been struggling with something that I know will happen but I don't want to happen. My little baby will not have the opportunity to be at home with me for the first year. This thought has been eating me away. I know that staying at home is not an option anymore because bills pile up and one person in the family cannot do everything in our case. I mean the baby will be able to stay at home for the first two months of his/her life but on the third month I will have to leave him/her with someone other us. This will hurt. I already know I am going to have a hard time with it. I mean I am already in this zone where I am hoping for some kind of miracle like the lottery but I know that it's far fetched, and I just have to be brave and suck it up. I mean I have no choice right?

Christmas eve Megan and I spent it alone. Megan said she didnt feel like going out that day so we stayed in an waited for Santa Clause. I spent the whole day pretty much cleaning the house for Santa Clause.Megan said that Santa was not going to go into our kitchen so she was really confused as to why I was cleaning pretty much the whole house, if he was just going to drop off some presents under the tree. We also tracked Santa on Google map. It was pretty neat and Megan was mesmerized that she was able to see Santa move to each country. The next morning we stayed in bed waiting for Jaime to get home from work. Megan's face lit up when she saw the presents Santa had brought her. Most of her gifts were of monster high. She received a towel of monster high, a Cinderella pillow, two monster high dolls, some bracelets, and a purse. After Jaime and I opened our gifts we headed to my parents house where there were more presents to be unwrapped. Megan went first and then we went on fro...

Merry Christmas Eve. I think we are watching Christmas movies tonight probably through Amazon because I could not find certain movies at the stores.Also Marshall leave tonight and Santa drops off presents under the tree. Which I still need to draw up a letter from St. Nick. I'm pretty excited this year because I have decided on holding off on sticking presents under the tree till after Christmas eve. So Megan will actually be woken up on Christmas morning to a ton of presents under the tree. While Megan was at gymnastic Santa came to pay the girls a visit. They had a small party at her ballet class and she really enjoyed the party with all her new friends. I was kind of scared that Megan would start crying when Santa came in. Thankfully when he came in she was happy so see him and so were the other girls. I mean come on look at that huge smile of hers. About 4 nights ago we made a ginger bread house. It didn't come out the way we thought it would, obviously, but Megan h...

A couple of days ago I went to the Grocery store. It was just an ordinary shopping trip. I just needed a few items and when I finally went to buy all of the food. It came out to about 70 dollars, not bad right!? Well, I slid my card through the machine and low and behold it says those dreadful words TRANSACTION NOT APPROVED. Of course I had money in the bank but what I failed to mention was that for whatever reason my card (that is not from this state) has been acting weird. I don't know my PIN number so I have just been using it as credit. I guess I "credit it out", I don't know, I have to call to see what has been going on with my card. So back to the grocery store. I tell the lady that I have to come back and buy my groceries. I was not embarrassed, I was more upset with myself that I forgot about my dumb card. I call my husband and asked him what station he was at because my card was rejected. So I go to the station that my husband is at...then I realize Im at t...

For a couple of weeks I have been hoping that Megan does not find a hint of presents or anything relating to presents around the house because I really want Christmas morning to be magical like my parents did for me. So I have been pretty careful about it or so I thought........ A couple of mornings ago Megan was dressing in our room  where I was looking for some clothes to wear for the day. I have been hiding all presents in our closet. Jaime was looking for something and left the closet door open. While Megan was in our room she got a look at some of the presets that I had hidden in there. I gave Jaime a very interesting look and he went on to explain why they were there. I have no idea what he told Megan, all I thought was holy crap we got caught. She let it go somehow but then another incident happened. We were in the car and Jaime lent my phone to Megan where I took a picture of one of her presents. All She said was, "did yall get Gigi?". I came up with something and...

How far along:   17 Weeks Size of baby:  turnip Total Weight Gain/Loss : +3 I had to ask the doctor if the amount I have gained is o.k for 4 month. She was a little concerned but not too much. She said I should be gaining more in the coming weeks. I told her that it's the weirdest thing because this child of mine has been eating every 2 hours. Maternity Clothes : yes, but my regular pants still fit. Boy or Girl:   My doctor will be putting the words "boy" or "girl" in an envelope in January and we will be opening that envelope on Megan's birthday. Movement: a few little kicks here and there but I'm the only one who can feel them. Anything making you feel queasy or sick:  Things that smell awful like too much cologne. Sleep:  Sleep has been so much better. I'm actually really comfortable. Mostly because Mr. Husband has been sleeping in the other room. What I miss: Having just a regular stomach ...

This is my first week of my school break and I thought it was going to be the start of a relaxing, worry free month before I start student teaching in January. Monday started off by Jaime and I watching a very scary movie in the morning called The Conjuring. Freakin' scary movie!  After we were done watching the movie Jaime and I did some Christmas shopping and was gone for about 2 hours. While we were out Jaime received a call from his captain at the fire station stating that our neighbor who lives across the street had started some kind of fire to their couches. He wasn't really clear on the details. So when we arrived at our house policemen and fire trucks were everywhere on our street. Our neighbor comes to our house stating that someone broke into their house and tried to light their house on fire! Yes, people broke into their house and stole a few things and tried to light their house on fire!!! I asked her a couple of question and she stated that she never locks her ...

Marshall arrived at our home the day after Thanksgiving. He even brought Megan a little pre-Christmas present for her. He brought her a Monster high movie that she really wanted. Monster high is everywhere, right now she is just really into that. Santa has even brought her some gifts that are of monster high already. I found it hilarious that the other day my sister was doing a RA party called "Everyone can be barbie" sort of a "no matter what you look like you can still be barbie",and she was working on the project at my moms house during the Thanksgiving break. Anways my mom was saying how disgusting Megans's dolls looked because they were monster high dolls and me and my sister were just like "oh so the doll has to be pretty, she needs to have flawless skin". We were just messing around with my mom. Marshall has been on his best behavior and he has been the sweetest around the house. Unfortunately, Marshall sometimes forget to move ...

We started doing a little bit of decorating about two days before Thanksgiving. We didn't get a whole bunch of decorations, just a tad. However, now we are in full spirits around here.Oh and even Marshall the elf is back! This year I have been a little more creative with him, however I have not been taking a ton of pictures of him. Its not that I am busy, I just don't get around to doing it. Megan was really excited to decorate. We even bought her, her own Christmas tree. It is tiny and she was the one who decorated it. Hobby Lobby had 50% off of Christmas decorations about two weeks before Thanksgiving and I just could not pass that up. I would like to go back but its been dang cold outside and has been keeping us indoors. We are obviously Texans because when it is cold we stay under the blankets all through out the cold,except when we need to work of course. We have also been doing a bit of crafts for Christmas, it is not much but it has been a few. I mostly ...

Into our Christmas photos! I love the photographs our photographer but I think that Jaime and I look uncomfortable for whatever reason. Megan however looked amazing! She seriously owned that shoot. Then again her momma has been photographing her since she was a newborn, so the girl has some experience in that area. Maybe it's just me but Jaime and I seriously look so scared in most of these photos..and a little awkward. haha. Oh well that's a Christmas pictures for ya right?:) If Megan and I look good in a picture then Jaime looks terrible. We need some practice in front of a camera I guess. hehe Perfect example is this photo. Megan looks amazing! Jaime, looks like he is ready to leave. Seriously ladies honest opinions. Am I right? We need more practice.

The only Items we were really interested in were two items. An hour before we got there our two friends went to walmart to save our spots in line. I didnt see the harm in getting in line because we were only getting one item. She wasnt getting anything for herself. They just went to walmart to get in line for us to help us out. I had not seen my grandma in a couple of months and I just had to spend time with her which I guess thats why they helped us us. We have been friends with these guys for three years, and all because of the military. Jaime is not in it any more but we still keep in touch with them. We usually do family things with them like fishing and eating out. Just depending on time. They just has a baby not too long ago. Actually, I think I posted that picture up not too long ago. So anyways we got to Walmart and there were already a ton of people just waiting to open items. We just had to stand in line and not get trampled over. So Jaime and the husband were over a...
