SUPER DUPER PREGO!!!!

ok so small update on my pregnancy, and family. we have been super busy lately getting merricks new room done, we still need to get a few things for it and then i will take pictures and post them :) currently merrick is sick and johnny is starting to get sick, im really hoping that i dont catch it, im miserable enough as it is. im currently 35 weeks prego so 5 more weeks and baby maddox will be here!!!! maybe sooner lol i can hope. im super prego right now, i waddle, i ache, i dont sleep but i figure im just already prepared for the sleep i will be losing when maddox is here so thats ok :) he gets very active at night and it gives me motion sickness haha which is weird but it happens. lately i have been super tired though, i deffinately need some energy to get this place in order. ive been organizing our house and trying to get ahead of the game so being sleepy doesnt make accomplishing that easy, but what i am thankful for is helpful family and friends, thats always nice. so the count down continues and in not too long i will be posting pictures of our new little one :)

NOT MUCH LONGER.....

Well i decided i should update a bit, so my pregnancy has been going really good aside from being alittle uncomfortable from time to time but its getting closer to the day when we will get to hold baby Maddox. i have 81/2 weeks left!!! we still have alot to do before he gets here but we will get it done in time. merrick understands alot better that there is a baby in my belly and he likes to give baby kisses and feel him move, its cute to watch him, he will be a wonderful big brother. im suprised i made it through the summer heat without swelling up like a balloon :) its nice that it has cooled down tho and johnny still complains that the house is cold but he is good about pileing on the blankets and letting me be comfortable :) but aside from that we are counting down the days till baby Maddox is here and im deffinately ready to not be huge and no more waddling lol.

LAST MINUTE VEGAS TRIP

So last weekend, we found out my practically cousin was eloping in vegas so his brother nick convinced me and johnny to head to vegas with him literally it was like 10:00pm the night before so we packed up our stuff and headed out in the morning. i hadnt been to vegas since i was like 6 or 7 so i was excited to go, we got there and we set my GPS to guide us to our hotel and it said you have reached your destination and we looked around and could see our hotel so we sat and circled it like 4 times before we finally figured it out and how we missed it that many time i will never know. it was so hot which isnt fun when your 6 months prego, but we rode in some taxis and that was fun but too expensive to we only did that twice, we watched some magicians on the strip and that was fun, johnny was way into that lol :) then we saw elvis walking toward us so i made johnny stand by him and get a picture , later we seen alittle bit better elvis but thats ok. we went to the Bellagio and watched water show with the big fountains and that was really cool i had only seen that on TV! we played a few penny slots and then johnny decided that he could turn $5 into $500 if he played 21 but that didnt happen he basically was out the first round lol. we couldnt do a whole lot because when you go last minute you dont really have alot of time, but we are wanting to back and see shows and stuff, when im not pregnant, i was so sore from walking all day it was horrible but worth it. before we left we ate at a harley davidson cafe and it was way cool johnny was in heaven, there was an Elvis signature Harley he spotted immediately. it was definitely a short trip but still alot of fun and ive decided that it doesnt matter where you go, the vendors that are in mall that sell the lotions and creams from the dead sea or wherever... they are everywhere and you cant get away from them! you tell them no thanks and they grab your hand and make you test everything and its just frustrating to me, but my hands were really soft after vegas! lol :) i have some pictures that i will get on here asap!

ITS ANOTHER BOY!!!

well we went to the doctor today to find out what we were having and as confident as i was that it was a girl, i was proven wrong and we are having anther little boy!!! are still very excited and merrick will love a little brother to play with but i will still try for my girl in a few years and if thats a boy then im meant to have boys lol. everything looked great and im still on track with my due date, and he almost weighs 1 pound. we kept his hands 0n his face and his legs crossed for a while so it took some time to get pictures of him, i cant wait to meet him in about 4 months!!!!

MERRICKS BIRTHDAY, THE ZOO AND MORE!!!

i really need to stay on top of things, im behind on updating so its time to write my novel and fill everybody in. may 29th we took merrick to the zoo for the first time for his birthday and it really ended up being a nice day! we went over by the giraffes and they were eating right next to the fence so you could touch them and merrick got down by ones face and i asked him what the giraffe says and he barked loud at it and scared them all away :) it was funnyand really cute! all of the monkeys were asleep while we were there so we didnt get to really see them only a couple, so heres some pictures of our zoo day.
may 31st was merrick birthday, we just did a small get together at our house. i made his cake this year and i thought it turned pretty good! i was proud of my cake making abilities lol. merrick got alot for his birthday, johnny and i gave him a battery truck that is harley davidson addition and he loves it! but he needs to learn to steer lol. he got a sand box from his cousins and he got a bunch of little cars which he loves and now theres even more toys scattered in the house! but he has fun. pregnancy update. im now in my 5th month we will find out what we are having next month. my doctor waits longer than others. i have a doctors appointment tomorrow to see how everything is going but so far its been good. i have felt good beside the fact that i look like im due any day. i got big fast with merrick but this one seems alot faster and bigger!!! aside from that, im not dying of heat yet which suprises me, but also makes me happy, i feel the baby move quite a bit and i love it. merrick always kisses my belly and says "awww baby" its so cute. we are starting to move things around in the house, we have to get merricks new room ready and get him a new bed set and we have to move the computer and office stuff downstairs so we are in the process, i cant wait till its all done!!! other than that there hasnt been much going on here, i will try to keep up on my updates from now on! lol

MOAB

This weekend me and johnny and a few friends went down to Moab for the car show and we had alot of fun. while we were there we had did the Old Time Photos so i will post them.

BABYS FIRST PICTURE!

today i had a doc appointment and when i went to the doc for my first appointment i was only like 5 weeks so the baby was too small to see, so today was my first ultrasound, and this little one is a wiggly one, it was throwing its arms everywhere and i was really surprised because im only 9 weeks, and when i was that far with Merrick he wasn't moving that much yet so this one is definitely active! we also heard the heart beat and merricks little face was just so excited he kept saying baby and pointing, it was alot of fun, its always fun when you finally get to see and hear your baby and to have my baby boy there to see it was fun too.

DISNEY ON ICE AND MISC. PICTURES

i should have posted this one first since it was before easter and stuff but oh well. so we took merrick up to see disney on ice last month it was like a last minute plan and we got good seats for a good price!!! it started out really good when he saw mickey and minnie and goofy and donald and they did a whole show and merricks face was just in awe andthen Cars came out he was so excited and he started clapping and laughing and it was so much fun to see his face and how he reacted to everything. before the show they were selling the light up toys that are like $20 a piece so we figured he didnt really need one well part way through the show merrick started throwing a fit because he didnt want to sit in the seat and he wanted to sit on the step next to johnny but he couldnt do that so johnny took him out to the main hall and when he came back guess who had the $20 light up toy? lol johnny said he kept looking at them so i just had to get him one it was funny, then merrick did really good until the intermission then he got all impatient again and the second half of the show was all tinkerbell and he couldve cared less, but overall it was a fun experience he just doesnt like to sit still :) we also made merricks crib into a toddler bed adn he was all excited he jumped on it forever!!! its funny because i will tuck him in and then like 20 min. later he will knock on his door and say mama and then he goes back to bed. hes done very good in it.

NEW STUFF!!!

i have been so excited lately because i finally got a dish washer!!!! not only a dishwasher but a new couch too!!! its so comfy! i took pictures of both i couldnt get a good one of the couch but you will get the idea of what it looks like. i was shopping with my mom and tris when i found it and i called johnny and said babe i found us a new couch so you need to sell ours and he did that day!!! i love it. the only thing i dont love about it is the new furniture smell makes my morning sickness kick right in, so its hard for me to be on the house too much. i have been febreezing it like crazy and now the febreeze i use makes me sick, i cant wait till i feel normal again :) so im so happy to have these new items but im pretty sure the reason i got them so easy is because johnny also got a new toy for himself.....yes he got a Harley! he rides that thing everyday and once in awhile i do ride with him, needless to say you wont see me in full leather with a doo rag on my head lol. i look retarded on it but he like to take me with him so that makes me happy, merrick loves to sit on it with johnny and johnny will rev it up and merrick gets all excited, its so cute. we are going to moab for the car show and johnny is going to ride the bike down and i offered to drive the car and follow, i love the rides but its not that comfy lol :)

EASTER 2010

ok so im finally updating... so for easter we went camping on the desert for a couple days with my dad and some friends, it was a little cold but still fun, the only problem we had out there trying to get merrick to go to bed, he just wanted to play all night and day, so the first night johnny slept with him and the second nitght i slept with him, usually theres not a problem getting him to bed but that kid sure does love the dirt :) merrick was alot of fun this year because he got to find easter eggs and once i showed him what we was looking for he had no problem gathering them up! i have a couple pictures and a video. the easter bunny put some marshmellow peeps in his basket and he just sat and licked the stuff off it was funny. he had fun finding the eggs and then i showed him what was in them and his little face just lit up!!! he carried his easter basket and candy around with him for a week, he so cute. while we was out camping i was telling him that mommy has a baby sister or brother in her belly and he pokes my belly and looks at me and says " oh yeah" with a big grin he makes me laugh. it was a very good easter weekend.
