Baby Jesse!

So it seemed like in the beginning we had a new name for her every week and now the poor thing just gets called "daughter" or "anna jr" well now we have a name that she will have at least until the end...which would be 4 more months :) Baby Jesse! she has lovingly been named by my four year old niece who told me on Thanksgiving that we are going to call her that forever :) I said how about that can be your nickname for her just like i call you crazy katie and she gave me a look like hmm obviously i didn't sell you on the name...yet! so i guess we will see how long she calls her jesse. I just thought that it was so cute of her to come up with jesse when last time they told me that her name was tinkerbell. Isn't it funny the things kids do and say. Oh so my parents, Jake and I sat at the kiddie table on Thanksgiving and i don't remember what was being talked about but Katie looks over at Jake and says "Whats wrong with you, dude!?!" what! hahaha seriously they are hysterical. I just get so sad at how fast they are growing up and it makes me think about how she is going to be here in 4 months and before we know it she will be a year old...hmmm i need to learn how to stop blinking!


Ok another story so after eating way too much i'm sitting on the couch and Katie asks do you still have the baby in your belly. I tell her yes she is why my belly looks so big so shes rubbing my belly and snuggling with me and she tells me that Baby Jesse is awake and she needs to get me her lullabye pillow to put her to sleep so for the next 30 minutes she plays the pillow to my tummy and runs around telling everyone to quiet down because they are going to wake baby jesse. aww kids are so sweet!

Well I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and baby Jesse and I hope you all had lots of yummy food! PS Jesse wakes up way too early!

crib!!!

so today we went to look at USABaby to start looking at cribs. They were having an amazing sale and ended up finding the perfect crib and dresser! I am completely over the moon,I can't believe that we finally got one! I finally feel like we are being productive and moving forward and getting ready to have this kid! She is going to have the best looking bedroom ever, and its because she has grandparents that spoil her! I love love love love that everyone is so active in this pregnancy it makes me feel so happy that she is so loved already! I can't believe that we only have a little over 4 more months. now its just getting our registry done and figuring out the room and moving furniture around so that the bedding can all get here and put in place.

Oh yeah and the blanket...well i have the fabric washed :) but thats it! well i have the design drawn out so that i can start cutting but this is the first thing i've made by myself. no Lindsay no Mom just me and i'm a little nervous that i'm going to mess it up but i know what i'm doing i've done it a few hundred times before but just not without one of my people standing there watching and bouncing ideas off of. Of course i can bounce them off of J but the poor man is subjected to all my girl stuff including me talking about new underware and bigger bras he is so one of my best friends and i think growing up with so many men around me i have no filter for him he gets all the girl talk and everything but he is amazing and wonderful and helps me with everything can you tell I am his biggest fan? I don't know what i did to deserve such an amazing man but I definitely did something right! any who i'm totally rambling so anywho hope you all enjoy your weekend!

21 week sono appt

here are the pics! she has her foot infront of her face in one pic and her hand infront of her face in another. she is approx. 1.4 lbs and we were told that she has long legs :) maybe she will be a little volleyball player it was absolutely amazing seeing her for 45 minutes but hell holding 20 oz of water for so long! oh and the sonographer told us that her bladder was full and working great. yum nothing like peeing into the same fluid your inhaling and swallowing :)

ok this first one is her with her hand in front of her face, the one on the right is her trying to suck on her toes and the last one is her sticking her tongue out :)

I will post belly pics her shortly :)

20 weeks-early mornings!!!

well she loves waking me up at 330 4am to kick and punch and say "hey momma the sun is coming and its time to get up to see it!" yikes!!! hopefully this won't be her sleep pattern when she finally gets here. Most people tell me that their kids go crazy at night but i think my constant running during the day gets her sleepy and she is out at night so we shall see. I'll post pics of me at 20 weeks shortly!

The other day J stopped me and said that i looked so beautiful and that he had to take a pic so i stood there cold...but yet i waited and here is the pic and it turned out that the picture was amazing i seriously might have the best husband ever. He is so sweet well here's the pic.

i totally forgot!

So here is a pic of me and baby dressed up for Halloween I'm a Lakers Basketball Player and she's my Ball.

Oh and out on our shopping trip we got fabric to make our first baby blanket!!!!! so fun I am finally motivated to make her some cute fun things! I'll post updates on how the blanket comes along :)

And let the Hormones begin

ok so i knew that hormones make you do silly things like um CRY! and you don't even know what your crying about and when you try to stop and you can't then you cry harder because your frustrated at the fact that you can't stop. Oh My so yesterday we are up and I begin the cleaning to the point where i'm walking around with clorox wipes wiping down the light switches the door knobs and anything else that might have finger prints. Oh and then i'm on my hands and knees scrubbing the hardwood water spots. Let me tell you this kid is playing jumpy on nerves in my back that make it damn near impossible to bend over or walk for long distances so me scrubbing floors just about made me cry. Then we are out and about buying things that I now think we need like a new wine holder because i swear there are bugs that live in baskets so i must get rid of all baskets. whatever i'm weird but then we are at the mall trying to buy a baby outfit the first one we will have bought together and i pretty much start crying in the store because there is no selection and everything is long sleeve and she will be born in spring where she won't only need long sleeves. so we leave without buying anything and i'm crying and Jake is totally confussed as to why i'm crying and I'm totally frustrated that i can't stop crying. Lets just say it was an interesting day. I was hoping that maybe i would bypass the hormone surges since i had not yet had them yet, but i guess 19 weeks is the time for crying, back aches and the baby having a crazy growing spurts that make it feel like i have the worst cramps ever :) the joys of pregnancy hehe but yet I still love it all how is that? I just wish she was here everytime i see little babies i get sad because she isn't here yet...is that weird? well i wanted to post and get the latest pics up.

Oh and guess what we have 2 new babies in the Family! Gabriel Anthony Gonzales born 10-15 and Nicholas Chad Shaeffer born 10-26! this little girl is going to be surrounded by older boy cousins to keep her safe from all those other little bad boys :)
