March

I am excited for March! We will be finding out on the 15th what sex this little thing growing inside of me is, we are going to Brazil on the 16th, our 4 year anniversary is on the 23rd, and there is a possible job opening at Bryce's work at the end of the month. I am also really hoping that a certain something works out for a certain extended family member of mine. :)
March should be a fun month!

A little update on our family, Bryce re-injured his knee at another church b-ball game. He had it looked at and has a follow up appointment in a few days, but everything should be ok. He is plugging along in school and is on the right track to graduate next spring.

Jayda is talking more and more. A few words she can say are:
Dad
Mom
Papa
bird
please
thank you
up
tiger
yes
no
bye
ball
dog
cow
e i o (this is for old mcdonald and all of the animals she can't say and also Baby Einstein videos)
and we are working on "love you". She is very close.

I feel like other than going to the store with her, this is my favorite stage so far. She is a lot of fun to be around. We took her to the park last Saturday to take advantage of the nice weather and I was amazed at how brave she was. She wanted to go down all of the big slides all by herself and just went for it.

We had our 2nd appointment for our baby today which went well. Dr K couldn't hear the heartbeat (probably couldn't get through the fat layers but was too nice to say so) so he did an ultrasound and we got to see the little thing moving around and sucking it's thumb. That was way better than just hearing the heartbeat, although it made me a little nervous when he couldn't find it. We are really looking forward to the 15th when we find out what it is. With Jayda we knew as soon as found out we were pregnant that it was a girl and she would be Jayda. With this one we have no names and no clue what the gender will be. Either one will be great.

As for me, I am still feeling sick, throwing up more than I was with pretty gnarly headaches, but I have a little more energy and the nausea seems more bearable. I have gained 8 pounds more than I wanted too but what can you do? I am still working away at Intermountain Healthcare and I am becoming more and more comfortable there. My one year anniversary is on the 1st of March. Another good thing about March :)

You really taught her that?!

My mom may not be happy that I am sharing this story but it is too funny not to be told. The other night I was eating dinner at my parent's house, which is something I do almost every night of the week cause I am a lazy bum and mooch off of them. Anyway, my mom let out a rip roaring belch which is a somewhat common occurance and Jayda says "burp!" I was in shock! How does she know what that is?! Well aparently my mom taught her! Good old grandma, teaching her the fundamentals of life. :)
