How do you...

Plan a proper 1st Birthday party when you have nobody to celebrate it with.




Stupid hormones.

Ding ding ding!

Timer has popped!
I think it's timing is a little off though....
It's funny, with Jessi only the very tip-top stuck a little bit out. With Barrett, about half of it stuck out. This is the first time it's come all the way out! And it was all of a sudden.
22w 3d

So, we had our U/S on Tuesday. I was very determined that we wouldn't find out what we were having this time around.

Well, Here's the story.

When we found out we were expecting again, we decided we were going to wait a while this time to tell people. SO, that ment that we didn't tell Jessi either. Because she likes to talk.

About 3 days after we found out, Jessi asked me out of the blue if I had another baby in my belly! I didn't want to say yes, so I just asked her if SHE wanted there to be another baby. She said Yes!

Then, about 2 days later, she started telling me that I had a baby sister in my belly. Ever since then, it's been all about the baby sister. She wouldn't hear ANYTHING to do with "him, he, boy, brother". She would correct you if you said otherwise. (When we finally told her that yes, there was a baby in the belly at 13 weeks when we told family, she just looked at us like "why are you telling me this? I already knew that.")

Wade felt very strong that this baby was a girl. And he's been right with t he other two.

I felt very strongly that this was a girl. But I refused to say so, as I've been wrong with the other two.

So we go in for the U/S. I don't want to find out. Wade does. Jessi doesn't care, because she knows already.

The tech ask's us if we want to know. We kind of laughed at each other and she says she'll wait until the end of the u/s and ask again.

We have lots of fun, they had a brand-spanking new machine and it was awsome!! You could see things you couldn't with their "old" (only 3 years old!) machine. The regular images were almost as good as 3D!

Then, I think I see something. But don't say anything.

I ask Jessi if she really wants to know if it's a girl or if it was really a boy. She answers, "It's a girl." We ask again in a few different ways and she looks at us like we're dumb and says "It's a girl!" She called the baby a "she" or "sister" the whole time. Asked about every 2 minutes what "she" was doing on the screen.

Then, I see another image. And I know. So I tell the tech that she might as well comfirm it becuase I wasn't going to know, but not "know". That's no fun.

Here's some pictures:

The only 3D image we got. The tech waited until the end and by then the baby had put on quite a show and was finished. So here the baby was folded in half, holding it's feet. We couldn't get a face image or anything.


And here's what ended up being the telling shot. I REALLY think that if it had been done on the old machine, we wouldn't have been able to tell. But you could see EVERYTHING with this one, so it was pretty clear. (click to make bigger)

So yes, It's a GIRL!

Blog depression.

I think my blog is in a great state of depression.

It can't think of anything to say.

It never does anything exciting.

So it sits out-dated and boring.

My goal one of these days is to do a photo-log of one of my days. I don't know why. Maybe to prove to everybody exactly how boring my days are. Or maybe to see my day thru pictures and find things I can appreciate more.

I do swag bucks. Right now I have 2,457 swag bucks, which could get me $25 in amazon gift cards. I need to do more surveys to get more swag bucks if I want to use my gift cards for Christmas/birthdays.

You could sign up for swag bucks, start earning your own AND help me earn some by signing up here: http://www.swagbucks.com/refer/Dalayna

How's that for a sales pitch?

I'm a huge Nebraska Cornhuskers football fan. HUGE. (I'm not saying I'm huge.. just that I'm a major fan.. you know? Although, I am getting a little huge. But I'm the only one allowed to say that.)

For Wade's birthday I blew a bunch of money that really I shouldn't have and got us tickets to the Nebraska/Mizzouri game this weekend. I'm a little nervous. I'm that person. The one who gets so excited and wound up, yelling and screaming when we watch a game. And that's just when we're watching it on tv or listining to a game on the radio. Imagine how I'll be when I'm there in person!! This poor little baby trying to grow inside me. It's in for a rough day.

My daughter is just like me. Poor little girl. My favorite quote of hers from the last game we got to see? "Run you little freak, RUN!!" (Our punt returner was returning a punt which he ended up running 100 yards for a touchdown.)

She prades around the house on game day in her Husker clothes going "Goooooo Biiiiiiig Reeeeed... GO BIG RED!!"

I'm so proud.

I'm 21 weeks pregnant today. It's going so fast! Our "big" U/S is scheduled for Tuesday. We're not planning on finding out what this little peanut is. It'll be the final surprise.

I want a massage. And a day off. A whole day. (And night) And some really good food.

I want to go to Italy.

I have gorgeous children.

See?

(20 wks)

I've nothing clever to say...

So I'll just post the picture.

14 weeks.

That about says it all.

New baby gates....

Spoil ALL the fun! (The kitchen was Barretts favorite place to go once he learned how to crawl... he's obsessed with the dog dish)

And then.... create a little bit of new fun!

I guess we're expecting....

Another baby. Or something like that.....


















Jessi came to me today and asked me to take her "belly picture".



It looks like it's due very soon too, considering the leg sticking out.

Yummmm!!

1st popsicle!

And yes, he ate the whole thing himself! (What didn't drip all over me anyways!)
