IT'S A BOY!!

We went for our ultra sound on Monday and found out that we are having a boy! I had a feeling that it was a boy. We are very excited to know for sure that we are having little Bodhi. It was so cool to actually see my little boy inside my tummy. I could've watched for hours he was so active at the time the doctor had a hard time getting all the pictures she needed. It was amazing to see him moving inside me!! Only about 5 more months left. We can hardly wait.

Tomorrow we leave for Nebraska to have Christmas with my family. We are driving out with my Aunt Rhaelene, two of her children, and my brothers. It should be a fun drive:) I am really excited to see my family again so soon and just have the time off with Eddy. Life has been so hectic working to make up for the time that I had off after I lost my job.

I have currently found a parttime job at the First Baptist Child Care Center. They take children from ages 4 weeks old up until they go to kindergarten. It is like many daycares but has a very well structured curriculum. I really enjoy working there the other teachers are great and the children are so much fun. Sadly it does not necessarily pay the best and it is parttime. So I am still searching for something a bit more stable. I am hoping that possibly after the baby is born or if something opens up fulltime there that I will be able to stay there.

Well that is about all for now! There will definitely be updates after Christmas and with more developments with the baby.

2nd Doctor's appointment

So I didn't post after our last doctors appointment mainly because I have been so busy. The day before my last doctors appointment, November 19th, I was laid off of my job due to financial issues and them not being able to support all their employees. That has been a big bummer due to the fact that I have been there for almost three years, it is the best job for going to school, and being pregnant. So now two weeks later I still have not found a job that will support us the same way. I am picking up extra shifts at Applebee's but that is no fun working there while being pregnant. To go along with all that it is the end of the semester and I have been swamped with end of the semester projects and so on. This semester has been extremely difficult and I am not so sure how well I did:(

Besides all that we are doing pretty well. We are making it by paying all our bills. My family was just in town for Thanksgiving and that was so much fun to spend time with them and the two little girls they have taken in. We went to the zoo, the temple to see the lights, shopping, and so much more. Playing with those little girls makes me so sad for them if they do have to return to their home. It also makes me so excited for when our baby comes!! My last doctor appointment went well. We heard the heartbeat again this time much louder. Our next appointment is the 18th and then on the 22nd we find out the gender of the baby... cross your fingers for a boy;) We are both very anxious to find out the gender. We are very lucky to have gotten so many donations from family and friends that we already have a stroller, carseat, crib, playpen with bassinet and diaper changing station, and lots of cute clothes and blankets! With all the struggles going on lately we have been very lucky to have our family around to help:)

I will try to be more prompt with updating after our next doctors appointments so we can share with everyone the exciting news of the baby's gender!!
