DIGGING DAY!

Yesterday was an exciting day for us! We are officially building a house and yesterday and today there was Finally some action on our land. They ( the digging people or whatever they are called) moved the snow out of the way, yes there is still a lot of the lovely white stuff here, and started digging the basement.

These two are the untouched land about a week ago.

And some goofy kids we found hanging out on the lot. I cannot take credit for the gorgeous hair dos, they did those themselves.

And this is how it looks today. YAY!

My Bump..

... my bump, my lovely baby bump. So there it is. That is quite a hideous picture! Hopefully you can tell how huge my belly is even though I am only 28 weeks today. Callie was the photographer and it took a while just to get that decent of a pic.

So, can I just say, I really dont like being pregnant. I really kind of hate it. The nausea, the headaches, the acidy stomach, the achy bones. The exhaustion, maternity pants, having to pee constantly. The stretch marks, the enhanced sense of smell, the decreased sense of taste ( I have only experienced that in this preg.) There is so much more, but these are a few of my most hated things. And, lucky me I still have a really long time to enjoy these things. YAY!

Ouch!

So, friday night the high school had an activity they called a lockin where the Kids came at 9pm and were locked into the school until 4am. They had food, a dj, guitar hero, and a gym full of those big blow up things that you play on like the bounce houses ( only not bounce house because they are not 5.) Think of EC's Mardi Gras.

All the teachers had to help out, and Joshs shift was 1-4 am. I went with to help out too. We put the girls to bed over at Grandmas and went over. We were stuck at this one station for the whole time where there are baskets at opp. ends and the two players are harnessed to one bunjee cord and they are both trying to make 3 baskets before the other guy. It was pretty funny to watch. They just kept flying backwards into this big puffy thing separating the players. All was good except when two staff members played and the female teacher ( she was playing against a male) came flying over the side of the big thing and kicked me in the head on her way down. That hurt, but we were both okay.

About 10 minutes before we were done Josh decided he had enough at went to go socialize until we could leave. I stayed to finish up (I had taken a few breaks earlier). No kidding like 3 mins later Harold, school counsler, comes over to me and tells me josh kinda hurt his finger and I should probably take him to the Hosp to have it checked out. So I was walking over to find him I saw the finger and no Joke, I almost passed out. Things went fuzzy for a few seconds. His pinkie was so mangled it was bent like three different ways, so disgusting. I did not know how he was crying or freaking out or passed out. One of the students had challenged Josh to the obstacle course race. The first part is a hole you dive through and that is where he got hurt.

Over at the hospital the nurse took a few polaroids for him. She had me leave the room and go far away before the doctor started anything because she thought it was going to be really bad when the doctor fixed it. Oh and believe me the pics are not nearly as bad as the real deal! So I went away and a few mins later Harold ( he drove Josh to Hosp. and stayed for a while) came and got me and said that they had put shots of anesthesia in the two nerves in the finger and it straightened out all on its own. Crazy! Apparently sometimes when you jam a finger the muscles tighten and make the finger go all weird. He still had to have x-rays, but nothing was broken. Everyone, including the doctor, was so shocked that the mangled, nasty finger wasnt broken. We finally got to go home and go to sleep at about 5:45 am.

The finger is still swollen and sore, but I think it is going to be okay. Good Times!

Boy or Girl?

We went back to the hospital yesterday to have another Ultrasound to try and find out what we are having. And it worked, we saw loud and clear! FINALLY!

We are having a little GIRL!

We were so shocked! No part of me thought that I was having a girl. Josh and I both thought it was a boy. We have been calling the baby Tyler ,which I guess still could be her name but it was meant for our little boy. We are so excited to be having a little girl even though we really, really wanted a little boy.

Poor little Bailey was a bit confused about her baby changing from a boy to a girl. I had to explain to her that it never really was a boy, we just thought that it was. The girls are excited to be having a sister. They ask me almost every day when the baby is going to come out. Sorry girls, I still 3 months to go.

So anyways, that at the top is my fave picture of her. I think it is so cute. If you cant tell that is her little face on the left.

Girly Time

Grandma Stewart got the girls and I a gift Certificate to get our nails done at Joshs Aunt Cheryls for Valentines. So we got an appt. for yesterday morning , and the girls were so excited. They had been talking about what color they were going to get for like a week. I went first while the girls played Lincoln Logs, and it was very relaxing. Bailey was next, she really seemed to like it and was being really good and holding still...

... That is until it was time to put he hands in the nail dryer. She was wiggling a bit too much and ended up messing up the two thimbnails. After the dryer she was still so wild and would not sit still. I kept trying so hard to occupy her without messing up my nails and trying to keep hers from getting worse. Bailey went with purple polish and got little white flowers.

Callie went last and of course talked Cheryls ear off while she got her mani. She was getting a bit wiggly too towards the end, but luckily made it through without messing any of them up. She was so excited to go to school afterwards and show her friends and teacher. Callies fave color is gold and she wanted to do gold, but ended up picking more of a brownish goldish something or other. Its now a very kidish color, but its cute. She also got the same flowers done as Bailey.Here is the finished Callie nails.

We all had a good time, but I think we will leave Bailey home if we go again until she gets a bit older.

Twins?

So I know this is random, but it is something I have noticed recently. While watching Sportscenter (well, not really watching but more kind of just being in the room while its on) they had a thing on Kobe Bryants hurt finger and I looked at Kobe and was freaked out by what I saw. I mean is it just me or does Kobe totally look like Lance (my bro.)?

Okay so I dont have a close up of Lance and I could only find this little one of Kobe, but it is there I swear.

Next time you see them you might notice.

Oh, and by the way I just wanted to say that I am not a Kobe fan. I actually think he is quite obnoxious.
