Are You Kidding Me????

So I've been looking and looking at kids room stuff, found one that I like (atleast the best) at ikea, and guess who isnt carrying it anymore-ikea! Warehouse is empty and the lady said there is no information on it at all, just a blank screen! Ugh! The frisco location is out of them completely, and the Round Rock one has 19 left. So I'm hoping that everyone in the round rock area does not decide to go get red twin duvet covers from ikea within the next week!

8 week update

32 weeks to go

8 week update

Size of baby: "Your baby is now a little more than ½ inch long, about the size of the rock in Nicole Richie's engagement ring, and is about as heavy as the check Joel Madden wrote to pay for it."

Maternity clothes: They are SO much more comfortable! Plus I feel gross right now, and I think wearing those helps, because maternity clothes are so obviously maternity clothes. So when I'm out in public, people don't have to wonder, geez, is that a huge tummy or is she pregnant. Or at least I feel a little better about wondering if that's what they're wondering. Still can fit into my smallest size jeans, but I really don't want to! I was so proud of getting into that size, and I feel so gross right now, I don't want to mix up the two-if that makes sense. So I think, probably this next week, I'll be putting up regular clothes and switching to mainly maternity. I didn't have that much regular summer clothes anyways because I hadn't been able to really shop for any new stuff in my new size!

Gender: Kenz is convinced it's a little girl. We're trying really hard, "could be little sister OR little brother." She says she already has a little brother, so this must be little sister.

Movement: None yet


Sleep: No sugar at night as helped. Now if only I could get my son to sleep in the mornings like he used to! I could get a good sleep again :)

Cravings: everything just makes me sick right now, doesn't really matter what kind of food, how much, how little, when I eat it, I just feel nauseated afterwards. And I don't ever feel full, so I always feel like I need to eat, but I always feel sick, blah! Not enjoying this part right now.

How I'm feeling: Not so hot, pretty nauseated.


Highlight of the week: Kenzie always coming up and giving BJ a hug and a kiss. We also got the kids new room painted, pretty happy with how the color turned out! And items are finally coming together in their room, I think it will look pretty cute all put together! Ready for my shopping to trip to get the rest of everything, that's not til next week though!

New Yellow



I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! Kenz said she likes it too!

Have a lot to do on their room still, but it's a start! We have a garage sale this weekend-will be trying to sell off Makenzie's current bedding (which I actually like a little more since the walls have been painted! It was just too pink in there!) Have a BIG list of stuff to get at ikea! Finally found a bat for Jacoby's name, excited to get those pictures up-have to wait until midway through aug to get the bat though, so it's gonna be a while before his name gets put up...patience...patience...patience...Let's see, window valance, hooks on either side, painting the knobs on that dresser, new pictures in frames, collecting misc. baseball/ladybug items. Wes has picked out a SUPER cute ty ladybug for kenz to have, and I still need to do fleece blankets for them too. Waiting for my trip I'm taking in a few weeks to get just about everything else, because of course, San Angelo has nothing!



Painting Catastrophe

Well, maybe not catastrophe, but frustration at least. I picked out a yellow for the kids room, and we've had it bought for a while. Picked this weekend as the painting weekend! So, I started the painting Friday evening while Wes was still at work, thought I could get all the trim work done, and then he could help me with the rolling part, just be done in no time. Except, big problem-I hate the yellow!! The super soft sweet yellow color that I had picked out looked like highlighter on the wall.

Highlighter on the wall-yuck!

So, sat Wes came home, took a look at it, and shook his head. lol. So while we were out shopping, we grabbed a quart of white paint, and just decided we would lighten it ourselves. Result was not to bad, kind of a pretty yellow-BUT if there's one lesson I've learned, it's don't buy cheap paint! And I had. And it did not cover the walls at all-WE RAN OUT OF PAINT. Sigh. So, today its off to the paint store to but some good paint, in a better yellow (I'm really looking for such a soft yellow that you hardly even notice it's yellow) The room is going to be pretty bold with the red, black, and white baseball/ladybug design, so I dont want the walls to loud. And the yellow we came up with on our own, its a much softer yellow, like I was wanting, but is still to bright. So we decided just to call that a good primer coat, which we probably would have had to do anyways to cover up that pink that Kenzie had.

The yellow "primer" coat

Good news for the day:

YES WE DID! Christmas ornaments in July baby!! They are still sitting on my table at home, can't quite put them up yet!

The baby countdown chain seems to be working so far for Kenz. She's talked a lot about how she gets to cut another chain down, and by the time we're done, Christmas and Baby Jordan will be here. She's so cute.

7 week update

7 weeks

She already loves to love on her Baby Jordan!

Long way to go!

Kenz is writing on the picture frame how many weeks until Baby Jordan-33 to go!

7 week update


Size of baby: length of a Tic Tac and about as heavy as an eyelash

Total weight gain/loss: +3


Maternity clothes: I bought some the other day from a posting I found on facebook. Tried on some capris the next day, can't lie-they were way more comfortable than my regular jeans. Lacey also returned all my maternity clothes to me today, and passed on hers. So when they are ready, so am I. I am currently wearing my smallest size jeans today and have them buttoned, just fine! That's exciting!! I think I swelled pretty bad right at first, but that seems to maybe even be going down a bit, hoping my energy picks back up REALLY fast though-got a half marathon in 16 weeks!

Gender:  We won't find out. Talked about it, but I love the surprise and really don't want it any other way! Main reason we were deliberating over it, for Kenzie's sake, and for figuring out bedroom situation. But we have decided to just put Kenzie and Jacoby in the same room for a while and keep nursery a nursery.

Movement:  None yet

Sleep:  Pretty restless, figured out though that sugar REALLY affects me this time around. Any and I'm pretty jittery, so no sweet for me at night. Figured that out after about a week of staring at the ceiling until midnight or 1am. The decaf coffee with no calorie sweetener was doing it to me!

What I miss:  decaf coffee in the evening, or a cookie, maybe some ice cream :)

Cravings:   no specifics, I just want to eat, and thats annoying to me!! Lol

How I'm feeling: Pretty good, some pretty sore back pain last week, but had test done for infections, everything came back good, and nurse said just pregnancy symptoms. Did not like the smell of cooking meat-that did not go over well at all!

Highlight of the week:  Kenzie wanting to tell Baby Jordan (BJ) good night and gave BJ a hug last night. Also announcing! Got to post the pictures of the new shirts! Kenz also told her friend Lauren today that's she's going to be a big sister again. I think it stuck out to me, because we hadn't been talking about it at all. She said it on her own without any coaxing! Let's see, also made Kenz's countdown chain and hung it in baby room. Going to start taking pictures with her weekly as she cuts down another chain and writes number down. Hopefully it will help her realize, its going to be a while, but we are getting closer and closer each week!

We have a walker!

Jacoby is pulling up, all by himself, and taking a few steps at a time now! He's very proud of himself-looks around for someone to clap for him. This is of course only the best video I have so far, trying to get him set up to walk, then get camera rolling, so difficult!

We had a visit from our elf today! She left a note for the kids about how excited she is there is going to be another Jordan baby and how well kenz is playing with her friends tho week (there are 5 kids in the house this week!) She also told kenz that Santa is feeding the reindeer at noon today and she has set up a way for us to watch, so at noon were gonna watch Santa feed reindeer online-very cool! I'm pretty sure I'm more excited about it than she is though-oh we'll!

I'm 7 weeks today! I made a weekly countdown chain for kenz, well do some fun weekly pictures, gotta get hair and makeup done first though :)

Big News!

Here is Makenzie and Jacoby's Big News!

We tried to keep it queit for a while, however, as I've read about many other's third pregnancy-I'm pretty sure I'm already showing a little! So it was time to spread the news!

First Dr's appt is in Aug! Very excited to go!

We're planning on moving Jacoby into Kenz room and leave nursery just the way it is. We wont find out again, so if its a little girl, Wes will have some painting duties after the baby is born!

So-we get to redo the kids room! Which I am very excited about! Did not like the way Kenz room turned out last time, and ready to redo it. I have looked and looked for kids bedspreads that match but are still boy/girl and the only place that has any that I like is of course Pottery Barn Kids, which of course is super expensive! Not quite in our budget right now! SOOO we're going kind of classic. Kids are getting red duvet covers Im going to get from ikea, and his side will be baseball, and her side will be ladybug. All black, white, and red. No crazy colored stuff. Which is a lot harder to find that I had imagined, so that is my current project right now! I'm ready to get started-so be expecting some pictures coming of the work in progress!

Well kids are both up and crying WAY to early from their nap.
