17 Weeks...

Yes the difference between my post title and picture is correct...it's not a mistake. Ha ha it just proves how terrible I am at blogging. I took my picture when I was 15 weeks (p.s. that picture is of an apple), but now (as of Sunday) I'll be 17 weeks. I seriously can't believe how fast time is going by. I thought my pregnancy with Avrey went fast, but this one seems to be going by even faster. I think that is due to chasing a 21 month old around all day. And that would also explain why there would be times I would forget that I was pregnant, but now that I'm showing it's becoming more real to me. I'm feeling really good...I'm over the morning sickness, and I seem to be over the whole headache stage. I'm now starting to get heartburn (not as much as I did with Avrey), and I'll randomly get a pinched nerve in my back which makes it hard to stand some times. I also felt the little one for the first time the other day (10/11/12)...which was kind of weird at first because with Avrey I didn't feel her till about 20 weeks. Every once in a while I'll feel these little "flutters" and I think it's just as cool this time as I did with Avrey.

I had my doctors appointment on Tuesday and was pretty impressed with myself because at the last minute Dallas told me he couldn't make it and I had to get my blood drawn. But I did it and didn't even pass out. I got to hear the little peanuts heart beat and the doctor says everything sounds good. I'm pretty excited for my next appointment because we get to find out whether we're having a boy or girl. It's kind of weird because with Avrey I thought for sure she was a boy, but with this one I really have no idea. All of the Boyce's seem to think it's a boy, but Dallas and I are kind of leaning towards thinking it's a girl. So we'll just have to see and I'm sure if time keeps going this fast my appointment will be here before we know it.

1st Hair Cut...

 I finally brought myself to take Avrey for her first hair cut a while back (9/8/12). It was nothing too crazy just a little trim to clean it up and get it under control. At first she wasn't too sure about what was going on, but my hair stylist was really good with her. She gave her a sucker and a comb to hold on to and she was fine after that. I meant to save some hair for her baby book, but walked out and totally forgot about it.

Splash Pad...

 Over the Labor Day weekend we took the girls to the Splash Pad by our house. I couldn't help myself and ended up taking a ton of pictures, but who could blame me...these little girls are just too cute. Daisy LOVED it and Avrey not so much. She loved playing in the puddle, but once it turned on she couldn't get away fast enough.

Mini Bowl 2011...

 I was looking through old pictures the other day and ran across my brother's mini bowl game. After thinking about it I realized I never posted about it. It was my brother's last year of little league football and his team made it all the way to the Mini Bowl. They didn't end up winning, but his team played really good. I'm so proud of him and loved being able to cheer him on.

10 Weeks...

As of Sunday (August 26th) I'm 10 weeks along, so I'm a little behind at posting. I thought I was over the whole morning sickness, but Monday told me otherwise. As I was getting ready to go to work I started to blacked out and felt like I needed to throw up. I was so sick that I ended up staying home so I could rest. The morning sickness is new to me since I wasn't sick at all with Avrey, but I'm hoping it will be over soon. I've also began getting headaches, but other than those 2 things I'm doing pretty good. You can definitely tell in this picture that I'm starting to show. So far I've been craving fresh fruit and corn dogs. I have a doctor's appointment coming up on Thursday and I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully he'll be able to hear the little peanuts heartbeat again!!

Preschool?!?...

 Preschool...seriously?!? Where has the time gone...this makes it so real that she is growing up way to quick. So let me start from the beginning. Back in July we had to say goodbye to Amber as a babysitter because she was pregnant and it got a little overwhelming. So we found a new babysitter, Liz Steed, she's in our ward and lives just right behind us so it was really convenient. Avrey had been going to her for about a month when she told us that she took a full time job at her husband's school as the preschool teacher. She asked us if we'd want Avrey to go since she was taking both her kids with her. Well we really had no other option so we decided to give it a try and so far it's been great. The school is a Spanish Immersion Charter School (DIA). They talk nothing but spanish at the school, so Avrey has learned a couple spanish words. She says: hola, gracias, adios and uno. It's seriously the cutest thing ever!!! Liz said she's been doing really good and Avrey really seems to be loving it. She has so many little buddies now and thinks that its the greatest thing. It's so cute to see all of her little projects that she brings home. I know that she is only 20 months old...so it's probably a little early for her to be going, but she is seriously so smart that I figured it could be nothing but good for her. Hopefully it continues to be good!!

Family Night...

This last Monday night we spent our family night at the Bee's game with the Bergers. It was so fun to be with everyone!
