27 Week Pregnancy Update

How far along? 27 weeks!

Total weight gain: aggghhhh too much! haha second pregnancy weight is no joke!

Maternity clothes? yup! All the time

Stretch marks? Just the one from last time

Best moment this week: uhhh...the weekend cause Preston is home

Miss anything? Not being sick, being able to sleep on my back or stomach! Working out, feeling good enough to want to get out of the house, feeling good enough to play with Jaxson.

Movement: All the time! Mostly if I'm laying down

Food cravings: This whole pregnancy I've been craving salty foods, and earlier on, spicy food. Compared to being pregnancy with Jaxson, I crave sweet things a lot more this time.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Ugh sick all the time! Don't throw up as much anymore at least but I'm nauseous ALL. THE. TIME! I thought it'd be better by now cause it wasn't as bad in the beginning as it was with Jaxson and with Jaxson I was feeling better by now! Wish I would just get over feeling nauseous 24/7!

Gender: It's a girl! So crazy! I've been in all boy mode for the past two years it's weird to think I'm gonna have a baby girl in less than three months! And man baby girl names are hard to choose! Still need to find one!

Labor signs: Nope

Symptoms: Nauseous all the time, still throwing up some days, legs cramps constantly, and sleeping terribly!

Belly button in or out?: Out

Wedding rings on or off? : On

Happy or moody most of the time: eh, feeling kinda moody lately haha just sick of being sick!

Looking forward to: Christmas!! Going to Bakersfield, my little sister Jenna getting home from her mission December 15th! and not being pregnant anymore! Meeting my baby girl :) 

Halloween Fun 2015

This Halloween was probably the best one ever, all because of our sweet little boy. He was the funnest, funniest, CUTEST little thing to watch trick r treat ever! Me and Preston were prisoners and Jaxson was a policeman. Or as I called it “Partners in crime and the officer who grounded us for life!” haha. So our first Halloween activity was a costume party with Preston's family, and Jaxson was terrified of the hat on his costume for some reason. He would scream if it even came near him. Crazy kid. But then on actual Halloween, we took him to the mall to go trick r treating there and we told him if he wanted treats he had to keep his hat on, and it actually worked! He was so excited that everyone was putting candy in his little pumpkin (or as he calls it, “buh-gah!”) he was so happy and he wouldn’t let me or preston hold his pumpkin for him when it started getting full and heavy. we would ask him, Jaxson are you getting lots of treats?! And he would shake his head yes so vigorously lol he was so cute. We also went trick r treating with Preston's sister Kelsie and her kids after that. He loved it all so much the next morning he went and got his costume and tried to put it on to do it all over again!

  

Baby #2!

Surprise!!! It's not the flu its baby #2!

And it's a girl! She'll be here Febraury 1st! I'm super ready to be done puking and feeling sick all day everyday, now we just need a name! :)

4 year Anniversary picture and Family pics

 I just LOVE photography and photo traditions. I'm so glad I started this Anniversary photo tradition on my and Preston's first Anniversary. It's something I look forward to doing every year and I know that Preston does too. We started by holding our wedding photo on our first anniversary and every year since we hold the picture from the year before. It's a cool way to see how we will grow old together and I love having a reason to take a family picture every year. We put up 8x10's of each picture underneath the big frame on a wall in our house and we call it the Anniversary Wall. It gets better every year! 

Its so fun to have pictures with Jaxson now too and I kind of wish I would have thought to have him in the picture frame picture with us. But then again I kind of love that it will always be a picture tradition for just me and Preston to commemorate the wonderful years of our marriage! 

I can't believe I've been married to this wonderful, amazing, supportive man for 4 years now! It's gone by so fast but then again it seems like its been longer since I feel like my life truly began when we got married. I will always cherish these pictures, I hope we can continue this tradition for many many more years, if not all of them! 

Jaxson's One Year Old Pictures

My beautiful little boy turned One on April 7th, 2015. 

He's the happiest little thing and just got his walking down pact right before his birthday! 

He favorite toys are balls, his favorite food is bananas, he sleeps like a champ and he loves his new shoes that he got last week! He always wants them on, I swear he would sleep in them if he could! He loves doggies and says "ooph, ooph" evreytime he sees or hears one and he lights up our life like nothing else could! 

We went to Utah so we could celebrate his birthday with family and my sister in law Kelsie took these adorable pictures. I'm in love with every single one, I know I'll cherish them forever.

Love my sweet baby, can't believe he's one!

                                                     

12 Months of Jaxson Pierce!

I'm so glad I took monthly pictures of Jaxson, it's so fun to look at how he changed over the first year of his little life. It sure got harder as he got more mobile to get him to lay still to take a picture! If I could do it over again I would have a stuffed animal or something in the picture with him so you could see in comparison how much he grew every month. But I still just love these ;)
