DOCTOR'S VISIT WITH A LITTLE BASKETBALL ON THE SIDE

I went to the OB/Gyn for the first visit yesterday. I took the girls with me, which turned out to be a bit crazier then I wanted. I think for the next visits I'll try to get a babysitter. I was able to get my actual due date. So now when people ask me when I'm due I don't have to say, "I don't know." This baby is technically due on August 25th but I have been 2 weeks early with the girls, so I'm aiming for August 11th. Kalea swears that I have a boy in my belly. I told her it will be awhile before we'll know for sure. I haven't decided whether or not I want another girl or a boy this time around. I definitely have everything I need for another girl, but I'm sure Christian would like a little more testosterone in our house (even though he would never admit it). He says he just wants a happy and healthy baby. I thought that was a very sweet answer. My next appointment is on February 1st where I'll be able to hear the baby's heartbeat. Hopefully everything is going well in there (:

Christian and I were able to go to the NC State vs. Georgia Tech game last night. It ended up being a really close game all night long. It was fun to spend a few hours just on our own while the girls got to spend time with their Aunt Camillia. On our way there I got a little carsick because I hadn't' eaten much before we left. So I made Christian swing by Burger King for a Jr. Whopper ( only $1.) Needless to say Christian wasn't thrilled with that cause it made us 5 minutes late and there was traffic (which I'm pretty sure was my fault too), but I have to say that it was probably the BEST Whopper I've ever eaten in my LIFE!!

Here's a little side note about the basketball game:

1. I swear ALL state fans are country folk with camouflage baseball caps. Christian had to remind me that it's a Engineering/Agricultural college.

2. I told Christian that I was WAY too stuck up to be a NC State fan and that we should consider becoming Carolina fans... that didn't go well. Plus I look really good in Carolina Blue :) haha

3. Christian caught a Chick-fil-a Cow that was thrown into the crowd. Which I totally would have caught if he hadn't grabbed it right out of my hands.

4. I discovered we were on the third level of the stadium and that we probably would NEVER get on the Giant TV where they show all the fans. Bummed me out a little.

5. People who are eating chicken nuggets and french fries right next to you don't want to share.

6. I like to annoy Christian with random questions. (Example: "Do you want a kiss every time State scores?") Answer: NO

7. During the second half while State was up 5 points I mentioned, "Aren't you glad I talked you out of becoming a Carolina fan?" Once again, he was not amused.

At least I can find things to amuse myself during a basketball game and make it a little more fun for the both of us. ( Or at least one of us).

JUST IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING...

Here's just a quick overview of how our life has been the past couple of weeks.

*Mia got her cast off! Yay! No more plastic bags during bath time.

*Kalea went to the dentist and has TONS of work that needs to be done.

*Christian reorganized and made our garage the cleanest it's ever been.

*Kristy is SICK. Almost all of the time from the pregnancy.

*Kalea is now a Sunbeam and LOVES Primary.

*Mia HATES Nursery and anyone who tries to make her go.

*Christian is currently reading a Biography on Spencer W. Kimball and shares fun facts with me daily.

*Kristy no longer works for her mom for fear of collapsing from exhaustion.

New Years Eve

This New Years Eve we were able to attend a tradition that we have missed the past 3 years since I used to wait tables at night. We went to Chuck and Linda's home for a Simpson Married couples New Years Eve party. The first year we went Christian and I were married for about 3 months. We played a game that showed how well you knew your spouse. We LOST miserably that year. This year we were able to redeem ourselves as the CHAMPIONS! Yes, we WON! Considering I rarely win anything, that was a great accomplishment for us:) I do have to say that the highlight of the evening (besides the food and games) was when we decided to put on ALL the clothing from Mother Simpson's attic that she was giving away and took pictures. Childish? Maybe... but really quite fun.

Baby #3 is on the way

We were able to tell most of our family and friends that we are indeed pregnant AGAIN. I know most of you probably think we're crazy... but we've decided to have all of our kids close together. Which means that I will be done before I turn 30. We've always wanted our kids to grow up close in age so that they will not only be siblings but hopefully best friends. We are very excited for the new addition. Christian has been wonderful. Making me food, allowing me to rest and take naps when I feel exhausted. It will be a nice change from waiting tables to being able to stay home with my family during this pregnancy. I will be working at White Dahlia, but it is not a physically demanding job, which is SUCH a nice change. I think the only thing that worries us now is SPACE. Where will this new bundle of joy go? There will definetely be some rearranging that needs to go on in our home. We'll keep you updated on the pregnancy as it will be a VERY SLOW process, I'm sure.

Christmas Pictures

Here are some pictures from Christmas. It was such a busy day starting at home, then spending 3 hours at each families (Simpson's and Alo's) homes. We were also able to talk to Uncle Elder Lane who is on his Mission in Argentina. Kalea really loved opening presents and seeing what was inside. Mia, on the other hand, only wanted to eat candy.
