IT'S A BOY!!!

I had an ultrasound done on Monday, December 22nd and found out that we are having a BOY!! It's just what we wanted and we cannot be more excited!! We were pretty much the last hope in Chads family to carry on the family name. Chad is so proud that is getting that chance!! It's a HUGE thing to him.
We kept the news from all our family and friends until Christmas day. Most of them didn't like the idea!! Oh well!! Chad and I were able to keep our mouths shut, much to our surprise!! LOL!!

Well, our Christmas was really good!! Jastyn actually got into it this year. She got a Princess Castle that she hasn't stopped playing with since she opened it. It was so fun to see her get excited!! I will get pics posted real soon, I hope!! I am really not very good at keeping this blog up to date. Maybe that can be my New Year's resolution!!

May 23rd

I had an ultrasound done last week to get a better idea of how far along I am. The new due date is May 23rd. I was not quite as far along as I first thought, BUMMER!! Oh well!! I was only about a week off! And I am NOT having twins, thank goodness!! I kept complaining to my sister about getting so chubby already and she said that I was probably having twins. I told her if I was pregnant with twins then I was giving her one of them. Luckily, for both of us, that will not be the case. One at a time is PLENTY for me, especially around the terrible 2's.
We got Jastyn in a "big girl" bed and she has done SOOOO good. We have been very lucky with her. She seems to transition well to change.
I will get picks up soon of my "bump"!! For all ya'll that want to watch me get FAT!! Keep checking back for my growing tummy!!

It IS Possible!!

Men can ask for directions and so can their sperm!! We know this is true. The doctors said that Chad's "little guys" were pretty much incompetent, (only giving us a 3% chance of conceiving on our own) but we sure proved them wrong. Just look at Jastyn...she is living proof!! And we have once again proven the doctors wrong. We are having another baby!! Chad is feeling pretty manly at this point. Although, he keeps questioning me about cheating on him. Yes, that is right. He asked my sister if she thought I had the capability of cheating on him.
Even better...his response when I told him. Here is how it went down...
(let me set the stage- we put a "BIG SISTER" shirt on Jastyn)
Me: show daddy your new shirt
Chad: Big Sister?? She's not a big sister!
Me: not yet
Chad: ummmm...(pause). Are you trying to tell me something?
Me: yes
Chad: your pregnant?
Me: YUP
Chad: no you're not!
Me: yes, I am
Chad: how do you know?
Me: I took a test and it was positive
Chad: how many tests?
Me: 2, but I pee'd on the wrong side of one of them
Chad: take another one
Me: no, I'm sure I'm pregnant
Chad: are you sure it's mine?

NOT the reaction I was hoping for, but what can ya do?
Grandma Nae's reaction was something to!! Took her awhile to figure it out even AFTER she saw Jastyn's shirt!! FUNNY stuff!!

CALIFORNIA

Ok, so we all survived the trip to California...BARELY!! LOL!! It sure is INTERESTING traveling with a toddler. This was Jastyn's first plane ride and trip actually. She did pretty well on the plane ride to California. Possibly because it was 7:00 in the morning and I had to wake her up to leave the house. The flight back was an entirely different experience. She didn't get a nap before the flight. So I'm thinking she will just sleep the whole flight. RIGHT!! What was I thinking?? She couldn't hold still to save her life. She was screaming and squirming and standing up pestering the other passengers. Luckily there was an older couple behind us that entertained her a bit.
I think Jastyn's favorite part was Sea World. She really liked the "BELIEVE" show with the Killer Whales. She also liked meeting the characters at Sea World and Disneyland. She would just go up and give them all hugs. SO CUTE!!! We dressed her up as Cinderella at Disneyland and we got lots and lots of compliments. Her little cousin, which is 5 months older, was dressed up as Tinker Bell. And apparently the orientals worship blondes and red-heads. I can't even count how many times we got asked if they could take or get their pictures taken with our little kids. WEIRD!!
It ended up being a pretty expensive vacation for us, even more so than we thought. We were at Sea World watching the dolphin show. Well, we walked in a little late so we didn't really hear them mention that we'd get soaked. So, my husband had the video camera out and I was on my cell phone when out of nowhere...SPLASH!! We were DRENCHED and so was the video camera and cell phone. Both of which are ruined now. LOVELY!!
OH!!! And we went on the Celebrity homes tour in Hollywood. After the tour we decided to go back and try to find some of the homes again. We found Dr. Phil's house and we sitting there admiring his Tuscan-style home when we look up on the balcony and see Robin waving at us. She went into the house and came out again with Dr. Phil. He talked to us for a bit. It was pretty cool!!
I plan on posting some pics of our vacation ASAP so check back if they aren't posted yet.

This is for you, Tara

Ok, so my sister, Tara, was giving me crap yesterday because it's been a whole month *GASP* since I wrote a blog. I guess my life isn't exciting enough to write a blog more often. Let's see...11 more day and counting until we leave for California. This will be Jastyn's first vacation and we are all so excited. Check back for lots and lots of pics!!
We haven't been up to much in the past month so I really don't have much to blog about. Wow, I sound so pathetic!! Jastyn is talking so much now. She can count to 10...on a good day!! LOL!! And she is learning so much every day. She keeps us laughing!! I think she is definately going to be outgoing like her daddy. Although she does show a shy side once in awhile.
That's all for now!!
