All you can eat RIBS!

Well, if you can't tell... I'm pregnant. I took about 15 pictures till I realized my face was not going to look a normal size in any picture, so I through on a funny face, and pasted on a mustache... much more attractive, don't you think?
I've learned through this pregnancy that Bean will NOT be a vegetarian... he likes ribs. My doctor felt sorry for me last week, because I have no room between my rib, and Bean's legs and butt. I constantly (gently) push his toes out from under my ribs. I would rather stand all day than sit and be in pain.
On a happier note, I only gained 2 pounds this time around! WHOOT WHOOT! I rewarded myself by going to Sam's and buying a 5 lb bag of candy bars! So good!
Everything else seems to be going well. I have anywhere from 3 to 8 braxton hicks contractions a day, which makes me contemplate camping out at the hospital. I DO NOT want to have this baby at home. I barely made it there with Owen, and its not something I would necessarily want to do again. Especially when you have a husband who get nauseous watching ultrasounds. I just asked him (if by chance) we had to deliver at home, if he would please just be there to catch him... I'd do the rest!
I love him. Brad I mean. He makes me laugh. I told him the other night that I should be the one to pick the name, because I am having to go through pregnancy.
He responded with, "Believe me! I am going through it too!"
and
as hugging him the other night, he says, "I feel like something is coming between us."
Besides all the jokes, he makes me feel pretty in the times where I'm just not feelin it!

We are so excited to meet our Bean in 7 weeks!
and
Pray that Owen decides to return to his normal sweet self, and drop the terrible 2's before then.
 (fingers crossed ;)

She isn't excited at all.....   ;)

Reflux?

I've got it!

I. love. you.

Meet my new best friend. SodaStream. 

I love her. 

This little lady probably saves me around 100 dollars a month.

I didn't believe it at first, but when you have a husband who drinks energy drinks everyday, and myself, who may or may not be addicted to diet coke, this is a Money SAVER! I figured we probably spend an average of 4 dollars a day on a drink or two. That would mean we spend 112 dollars a month on drinks! SAD! 

I'm happy to say, I haven't bought a single drink since I received this beautiful machine from my parents for Christmas. 

The Red Bulls taste like Red Bulls

 (I don't know because I don't dink them, but Brad says it's a perfect match!)

The Diet Coke taste like Diet Coke

and you can make 50 other sodas or juices with her!

Just had to give a shout out to my carbonation making friend!

30

 Brad had his 30 birthday this week! I wouldn't say it was SUPER eventful. It started with Owen breaking his arm! I know right? Whats with my kids and breaking their arms? Owen broke his just falling wrong plaing with Grandma on the carpet. I've had lots of mean fun, reminding Barb that she broke his arm :)

Brad and I had fun plans with some friends, but had to cancel because we both woke up with awful colds! We have never been sick at the same time, and its not something I would ever want to do again.

 The good thing about turning 30 is you can make 2 cakes! 15 candles on each so Lil and Owen can help blow out the candles.

At the end of the day, Brad still had a fun day. He got some great presents, and since I was too sick to cook, we got take out. Sorry Hun!

30 weeks

Its hard to think that in 10 weeks we are going to have an other little boy! I honestly have days where I think, "How am I going to do this? 3 kids?" Even though I'm scared of the thought, I'm equally excited.

Saying Lily is excited is an understatement. Lily should be an oldest child of 10 kids... sorry not going to happen! Owen on the other hand, should be interesting to watch. Anytime we ask him of he wants a baby brother, or what his name should be... he just says, "NO." Awesome.

Brad is so sure that this will be our last, but as for me, I'm not sure. I will let you AND HIM know in a couple years.

Well, I went to the doctor today. Good news is, he is finally head down. Bad news... I gained 6 pounds in 4 weeks. The doctor said that was normal during the holidays, but I think he was trying to make me feel better. I think I have gained 10 lbs just in my FACE! I can't stand to see pictures of myself because of it. With Lil, my face SWELLED! Owen gave me beautiful complexion, along with normal weight gain. Just proof that every baby is different!

I am just so happy this baby is healthy, and growing... even if is means so does my face! Ha

Cant wait to meet "Bean" in 10 weeks!
