It's been a long time! A lot has been going on. We moved the end of May . I am soooo glad to be away from Kevin's evil grandma. Our computer ate the dust so I haven't been able to update. I dunno what it's issue is. It's just refuses to start. Sadly, it's not even that old. We have only had it a year and a half. I'm hoping my grandpa can look at it once he gets time. Anyway, the new apartment is amazing. I'm loving it! The boys are doing good & growing so fast. I can't believe Tyler is 3 already & Christopher will be 2 in a month. I update my myspace & facebook often so if you want those just ask :]. I'm in week 19 of my pregnancy. I have had tons of cramping and headaches so am on limited activity. Not easy with 2 small kids. We find out the sex of the baby on Friday. I'm hoping he or she will let us see. This will be my 4th ultrasound already. Last time the baby had his or her foot in the way. Anyway we're at the library and don't have much time left I just thought I would give a quick update!

  This past weekend was crazy. Friday I had my first OB appointment and I was sooooo nervous. After going in for an ultrasound in August & them not seeing anything on ultrasound, my mind was set that it would be that way again. But it wasn't. My dr was amazing. I told him how nervous I was so he did the ultrasound first. The baby measured 6 weeks and 1 day (on Friday so 6 weeks & 5 days today) and that was what my dates said it should be so I was dead on. The pap sucked like always. I don't think anyone truly enjoys having their cervix scraped lol. But it was over fast. Kevin and the boys came with me but due to a meltdown they were sitting in the car during my appointment. Which was fine by me. At that point I had enough and I was too nervous. I don't know if I have said this before.. but my dr is effing amazing! I drive over an hour just to see him. I love him. For sure a big doctors office it has such a personal feel. The rest of Friday was kind of a blur. Oh wait... no.... my dad got married AND his new wifey is pregnant. My dad is scum. He doesn't call. He ran out on me when I was 15 and after that I didn't speak to him for 3 years. Our relationship is almost non existent. But still hearing I'm going to have a brother or sister was like a stab to my heart. Oh and she's due 2 weeks after me. Whatever. Maybe this time he will be a better father. I'm very thankful that we live so far away and don't have to see him. My boys have never met him and probably never will. He just doesn't care about us. I hate that I'm 21 and going to have a brother or sister. It's just weird. Maybe I'm a bitch.. but I just don't care. I will never see the kid. Blah.

   Saturday my MIL watched the boys. Kevin won tickets to a concert at a [new] casino. We got to the casino at 4 and got our wrist bands to get into the concert and was informed that we didn't begin seating until 7 and the concert was at 8. I guess Kevin had thought it was at 5 or something. I dunno. We went to eat and killed some time before the show. It was good. Lots of drunk people lol. But we had a great time. His mom decided to keep the boys over night so we didn't get back home until almost 12. It was sooooo nice to be a wife for once & not just a mom. I love my boys to death, don't get me wrong. But this was our first date in almost 6 months & the first time in over a year that the boys have stayed somewhere over night. It was nice to sleep in. Sunday we picked up the boys and then headed to Kevin's grandparents for a bbq. The boys played outside most of the time and we took them to walk along the river. It was a beautiful day!

   Today we are doing nothing besides what has to be done [cooking, dishes.. etc]. Right now the boys are watching Scooby doo and sitting on the couch. Tyler has had this scratch on his forehead for 6 months now.. no kidding. It's like a circle in the middle of his forehead. He's a picker by nature and just will NOT leave it alone. So I'm really really watching him close and keeping a bandaid on it. I am determined to make this ugly thing go away. Tyler is really trying a lot harder in his speech. He has a big vocabulary but just has a hard time putting stuff together. He likes to talk in his own little language. I hate it. When he does it I try to figure out what he's trying to say and I help give him the words to form the sentence. We also have flash cards that we have been using to help him learn to recognize pictures of things. I also refuse to just let him learn when he is ready. I hate when people do that. It's talking. He won't just wake up one day talking in sentences. He needs structure and help forming sentences and learning new words. I need to buy some work books so he can have something extra to do besides just our reading & flashcards. I can't believe in less then 2 months he will be THREE. Time really does fly.

    I am sitting here trying to rack my brain for dinner ideas. I'm so tired of the same normal crap every few days. Kevin has been eating spinach salads. He's still trying to lose weight. So we haven't been eating as much meat which is fine by me. It saves money. I'm thinking about making blueberry pancakes or french toast tonight.

    Today was busy! I went with Kevin's cousin, also a close friend, to try on wedding dresses. She was truly so excited. It was cute. And I love the dress she picked! One day when we don't have the kids, we will go back for my brides maid dress. After the wedding shiz we went and walked the mall and looked at ring sets. And of course I fell in love with a new set. I swear they shouldn't let me in stores that sell diamonds. lol. Don't get me wrong.. I love my wedding set (this is already the second set I have had) but I tend to always want to go bigger. Right now I have a very simple heart shaped diamond with another plain band. I would really love a princess cut and just a bigger diamond. Blah. One day. I love having stuff to look forward to. Anyway we also went to Old Navy and just looked around. I couldn't find anything. I got Christopher 2 pair of flip flops since Tyler & I both have millions and I also got a pair of sunglasses :). Oh and then I registered at babies r us. We have nothing left. We don't even have a dang crib. The registry is mostly for Kevin & I. Just a list for us to reflect on and then "check" things off as we get them... so to speak. I did register for both pink & blue stuff since we don't know yet I can always go back and edit it once we find out. Oh and I had like 3 cribs on there. Kevin wasn't with me so it was hard to make the decision without him there.

    We got home around 5 and just hung out and watched a few kid shows and made pizza. Christopher is getting a cold he has a runny nose and is coughing Tyler is still hanging on to his cough that he has had for about a month now. Now the boys are asleep and Kevin and I are just relaxing and waiting for CSI to come on. BLAH.

Christopher left- Tyler right.

My "new" hair. I cut a lot off.

Christopher

I just realized I have no pictures of Tyler. He never holds still so it's almost impossible to get a picture of him.
