Well, Well, Well....

So!

We were supposed to close on our house June 1st, as were the sellers of the home on THEIR new house...BUT. The woman we are buying the house from bought the house years ago before getting married to her husband with another guy. (not entirely sure if they were married, engaged, dating, friends or what...) Zack and I have our people doing our paper work, making sure things go through to the right people etc...but just the other day she (she as in the main 'people' I handling all the dirty, time consuming paperwork etc that we don’t have a clue how to go about) called us, and informed us that she JUST saw that there was another mans name on the title of the house, and that she didn’t see it before. (Even though Zack has told her about it, and she told him, she would get on it and it would be no trouble at all...haha) Well, June 1st wont work for either our family or the current owners to close on our new homes....that paper work wont go through, and therefore we are staying right were we are just a bit longer.


I just wish, right now that we could at least have an idea of how long the paperwork will take to go through so we can close! As of yesterday though, she said she hadn’t the slightest clue. Ugh.

I'm slightly upset, but she has done a WONDERFUL job working with us, and has helped SO much I can’t even begin to explain. . . I'm happy she caught it when she did! The real reason that this situation irks me, is simply that we were hoping to get some or most of the basement done BEFORE our daughter arrived, but if this keeps up and June 1st turns into June 18h.... or farther away...(these are just random dates not real strong possibilities) Well, its going to be pushing it to move in, unpack, start remodeling, and all the while be dealing with changes in our daughters behavior and sleeping pattern etc due to all the changes she’s taking in or experiencing at such a young age, on top of being pregnant...ufta. It’s going to be a roller coaster of a ride that’s for sure!!

How is our daughter going to handle the move? The change of sleeping places again, the change in atmosphere ...and if we remodel a bit downstairs the constant changing of the looks of the place…? How are Zack and I going to handle how SHE handles it? When the baby comes and her surroundings are still ever changing, and now she not only has to deal with that, but now to shared attention, a shared mommy and daddy, shared sets of grandparents. I will be recovering from a c-section, and I admit I’m slightly terrified of the possibilities of how all this change in such a short period of time could affect our daughter, Zack, and I. Blatantly, our family as a whole.

Hopefully, by Christmas things will be all settled down. If not by then, right after Christmas. At that time all the hustle and bustle of the move, the new babies’ arrival, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays will all be gone. Then its just New Years and Kylyns 3rd birthday to deal with! EESH! I don’t like even the look of ‘3rd birthday’ . . . 2nd birthday was ok…but 3rd birthday…Well, it better stop right there. Ugh! Time flies far too fast for me to keep up!

28 weeks and The Joys of Family

Well, we have made it past the half way mark, and made it to the 28week mark. Our doctor appointments now switch from every 4 weeks to every 2, and switch again at 36 weeks to every week. As of Sunday if our daughter was born early she would have a much higher chance of survival, and every day pushes us closer to the end of a successful pregnancy.

We are excited to move into our home June 1st. Everything is in order, and we just cant wait to close on the house and have a place to call our own! It has been fun to live in Karlstad with my parents, but all together way to hectic for what we had grown accustomed to in our own house hold. My youngest of two sisters graduated this past weekend, May 23rd 2010, to be exact. The weeks leading up to the event were stressful, hectic, and in some cases purely annoying. I love my mom, but ha ha ufta my does she need to CALM WAY DOWN over silly stuff such as a extravagant open house that lasts but only a few hours in one day then its over and done with.

My parents spent more money and time on this open house for Brooke then Zack and Is wedding. What a sad sad fact.

Well, now that its all done with, I'm hoping and praying for things to calm down, and for our closing date to get here quickly. Like I said, I love my family but I like when our family con function as it does without the influence of another differently functioning family under the same roof. Its challenging for Zack and I to parent our daughter how we see fit, or how we normally do when we have my mom automatically parenting, Brooke putting her two sense in when she sees fit...etc. it gets old fast. But they are graciously letting us live in there home, free of any charge. Its a nice gesture and I'm certainly, WE are certainly grateful for it, and their willingness to help us in such a huge way.

The issues are easily forgotten, and something many couples live with, or deal with at some point during their lives. God is awesome, and certainly does provide in the way He sees best for us. Sometimes we think we know better, but I fully know God knows much better then I do, and I am relying on that for everything in life right now.

We are getting prepared as we can now for moving, for the arrival of our daughter, for the changes that our family will go through with all the changes in our surroundings. We do have some concern for Kylyn, and how she may react to her baby sister, so soon after we move our into a completely new home. That's a lot of change for a toddler to take in such a short period of time. Keep her in your prayers. We want to make these changes as smooth for her as possible.

Zack was hired on at digikey, but after letting his current employers know, was convinced to stay. God provided for us, in many ways through his current employer and we are grateful to have stayed. Every time we think we found a better way, God shows us that HE knows best, and if we rely on HIM and HIS timing we can be rest assured He will take care of us. He has.

That's a small update on our lives I guess. A random assortment of facts, complaints, prayer requests, and Praises.

Belly time

I have so far behind on photos...I have wanted to take belly photos from the beginning to document my growing belly but its been SO hectic and crazy that I always would forget, be too tired, not get time etc...FINALLY over halfway there at 22weeks I got it together and we took a few photos. We didnt have much time, so we made it quick lol. Heres a Few of them

Falling in love all over again

I admit this time around I have felt much less of a connection to the baby with this pregnancy. With Kylyn I felt so in tuned with her. I loved her from the start! With this one I didnt feel that way. I realized I was pregnant obviously, and I was excited, and overjoyed to be having another baby! I just didnt feel 'connected' to the baby in the way I was with Kylyn.

Could it have to do with the VERY different situations to which these babies were concieved, and then born and will be born into? -Possibly Could it be that I REALLY was hoping for a boy? - Maybe...

We had our 20 week ultrasound/anatomy scan, and found the gender to be a girl,...(I love it though) She is healthy, with no problems able to be seen by ultrasound, or by blood test. *BIG sigh of relief*

Well, while feeling so disconnected to this little girl growing everyday inside of me, I decided to take a nice hot bath one night. Just to relax my achy mucels and calm down so I could sleep well...I was so relaxed haha I could have fallen asleep in the tub no problem!

Suddenly a bottle of shampoo plopped into the tub making a loud thump on the tub bottom. Just then I looked down at my tummy, and not only felt the baby move, which I have been feeling now for quite awhile, but I SAW her move...ugh! I felt totally different in that moment. I fell madly in love! I missed that feeling, that sight...it has been over 2yrs since I have experienced it with Kylyn!

Ugh I just laid there, and purposely made sounds to watch in wonder as my baby moved around in reaction to the sound. It was all together wonderful. I fell asleep as usual that night, with my hand on my belly, and I drempt of my daughter inside, and I loved her. I feel MUCH better about this connection problem I was feeling, and am happy to be able to use the word WAS in the sentance.

I am now overly excited to meet this little girl. :)

Meeting The New

On the 15th of February 2010 ,which also happend to be my daughters 2nd birthday, was the most wonderful day. Not only did we get to remember the day Kylyn came into our lives two years prior but we got to see for the first time our son or daughter via untrasound. It was wonderful to see him/her moving around, see its little heart beating so fast, to see its tiny features,...nose, lips, chin, feet, hands toes and fingers. Beautiful in every sense of the word.

side profile you can see the details of the nose lips and chin so well on this photo.

Babies face from above.

Looks like an alien sort of because the eyes are still large compared to the babies head.

................................................................................

It was so sad to see our baby as well.  For my ultra sound I was 13 weeks pregnent.  This is the typical time about that mothers decide to kill their babies by aborting them out of inconvenience. What a sad thing to know that there were people that recommended  I kill my daughter, Kylyn because I was only 17...what a horrible, sad excuse to end a life.

Happy birthday Kylyn! I met you face to face Feb 15th 2008.

I met my new love via first photo ever taken of him/her Feb 15th 2010.

New Years Surprise!

What better way to start off the new year then to find out your going to have another little bundle of joy! Looks like the Due Date is August 15th, but due to having a small pelvis cant have babies that are any bigger then about 6lbs. SO we're due for a schedualed C-section the 8th of August if the baby meassures too big. Yeah! Hopping to find out the gender here soon.  :)

A small sneak peek at our christmas season

Zacks stocking. He loves Coke.

Kylyn after opening up her stocking.  What a super star. :)

Our little Princess

Kylyns uncle Nathan and untie Janna Lorenson gave her a Christmas gift this year that both mommy and her can enjoy. As a little girl myself I loved dressing up in princess dresses, and those awesome plastic play higheels. Its fun for me to watch Kylyn experience these same joys. I dont know where they found this but I love it! A princess trunk that comes with three princess dresses, a pair of princess higheels, necklaces, rings, bracelets, two wands, head dresses, and a princess crown. Wonderful. Simply wonderful.
