The Waiting Game!

Well now we wait.

We wait for the baby to get here. We are waiting for Thanksgiving to go to Colorado. We wait for Christmas to go to Texas. We wait for Brett's acceptance letter to school.

He is officially done with his applications and they were sent out today!! VERY exciting indeed!! I cannot believe it, but we are so glad the first part of the hard is over. Now we just stress about were we are going. lol. Brett's MCAT score was absolutely wonderful and his GPA is amazing, so I am not too worried about not getting accepted somewhere great. He applied to three schools, Arizona, Iowa, and Ohio. His scores and GPA are well above average for any of them so I guess we just need to see what they are going to offer and where we feel like we need to go. I am SO PROUD of Brett. He is so amazing in every way and SO smart and dedicated. Another 4 yrs isn't that bad....and then another 3. We can do 7 more years of school =) He is going to do so great and be so good at his job, I am not worried one bit. I love you honey, congrats!! I am so proud of you again and again!!

A Little Boy

I think I am slowly getting over the initial shock of knowing I am having a little boy. I am excited! I just still can't believe there is a little boy in there!! Anyone who knows my family knows we just don't have boys, so this is a big deal for the Jenkins' side. Brett says he at least wanted one so I can have all the rest be girls if I would like it that way. lol I think we are going with the name CASON BRETT. I always hate telling my names this early because last time, two people in my ward took my names....my boy and copied my girl name. Good thing my Adalie was born first lol Oh well, I guess if it happens, it happens. Mine will probably be cuter though just so you know! haha.

Everything looks great with the baby. Healthy, on track in his size, no down syndrome or spinabifida or water on the brain or cleff pallet... all good things I now don't have to stress so much about. I just have to do all I can to keep him that way. I am so glad he is going to be a healthy little boy. A little Boy!! I just can't get over it!! I can already see him getting on his big sister's nerves haha.

Other wonderful news, my placenta previa has pretty much corrected itself! Well almost. I am still supposed to take it easy for at least the next four weeks. But the wonderful news is that I get to go home for Christmas and Travel now!! Yay!! And I probably won't have to have a C-Section, if all continues to go well but I guess you never know until the day of.

Thanks for all of your comments though and sharing in the wonderful news with us! I am excited to get some of the "boy" experience that some of ya'll have!!

And the Diagnosis is...

BOY!!

Oh my goodness what am I going to do with a little boy?? Ahhh!! I think I am still in a little bit of a shock haha. Wow!! A BOY!! Brett is grinning from ear to ear!! What an adventure this is going to be!

It's October!!

One of my favorite things about October is the holidays that come way!! We can pretty much start saying happy holidays soon!! We have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas!! One holiday a month from here on out for a while and it gets me so excited!! We have already decorated the house for Halloween and have gotten Adalie's costume. She is a Pirate Princess. I just let her go in the costume isle and it was what she grabbed first. I think it is because it has a hat and she LOVES hats.
Wednesday we find out what we are having =), another reason to be excited this month. I am finally starting to feel the baby move around a bit which is always fun. I am usually nervous until I can feel them in there doing something, so it is nice to know it is still in there and healthy so far. I already think this baby is going to be bigger than Adalie was. Granted I am about 15 lbs heavier than when I got pregnant with Adalie so it could just be that I am fat, but honestly Adalie's stats aren't that hard to beat at 5 lbs 6 oz and 17 inch long.
With Adalie I was so sure she was I girl, I just new it. This time, no clue. Sometimes all I think about is boy stuff and then freak myself out because I have no idea what to do with little boys. I come from a family of 5 girls, so girls were usually what I was good at. It would be fun to have a little girl again, until they are teenagers that is. haha A boy would definitely be a new adventure around the house and add in some spice. But then again, boys are what Brett knows coming from a family of 4 boys. Don't let him fool you though, little girls melt his heart and He is Adalie's hero and she is his little Princess for sure. He would be excited for another one of those too.
I am excited to have a little peace of mind though come Wednesday and get ready all over again for another one... I have already started nesting and it is driving Brett crazy. lol

Another Success

Just wanted to get online really quick to say What a wonderful Conference weekend!! I hope everyone walked away wanting to be a little better. I know I did. What a happy weekend! There were SO MANY wonderful and inspirational talks don't you think?? Lots to brush up on until next time. lol

A Kink In the Plan

Well nothing throws off potty training like a sick household. I am sad the adventure has ended until further notice, but sick mommies and babies are something I would rather deal with first than pee on my floor. I have absolutely no energy to deal with it.
Thursday morning Adalie and I woke up to a fun surprise for the both of us. Fevers and vomiting. Hopefully it is not the flu. Our scheduled flu shots are next Wednesday but wouldn't that be something if we already had it? Just our luck I am sure. Anywho, we will not only be stuck in our house for the next few days, but stuck in our house SICK for the next few days. At least the weekend is here and Brett will be home to help take care of us. I absolutely hate being sick, and when there are two of us this way, it is even worse.
