ITS A......

Get ready world cause ITS A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we can't wait to meet her.
The good news this baby is not measuring 2.5 weeks ahead only about 2 days ahead. I was hoping to measure a week ahead so I can csection when I would have liked to but you never know. An easter baby is definately in our future.
Toodles for now.

Time Flies

There are only 90 days until the birth of this baby. 90 days where did all the time go. I remember being preggo with Wyatt and thinking it was interminable until I would finally get to hold him in my arms and not my uterus. My arms ached for him. Now all I can think is slow down baby. I am antsy to meet this new little one but couldn't he/she come a little slower. The days count down so quickly. The good news is that hopefully we will be having a sono sometime this week or next week and hopefully this baby will be forthcoming with whether it is a boy or girl. If it is a boy we are screwed, we have no boy names and no ideas for anything we are liking right now as for a girl got that covered along with some clothing a my first halloween outfit, columbia jacket, and a christmas dress for next year. Thanks to mom who is 100% convinced this little one is a girl and has made no secret of her thoughts hence all the girl clothing. I would just like to know so that I can buy some clothing and pick out a name.

Wyatt is really starting to show his personality more and more this last few weeks. His language is picking up he signs more, please and eat. He also says I love you in the car after we leave the grandparents house. Just the other day when we left my mom and dad's house I swear he said "bye pretty lady see you later" to my mom. How cute is that. He loves to dance and it is so funny to watch him turn his circles and move up and down. I just love motherhood it is so much fun at all stages even when they are itty bitty and just need your snuggles.

Hopefully I will be able to post sometime in the next week or two what baby is.

Happy New Year

So I wanted to post some xmas photos and a super cute video of the monkey but we left the camera at my sis in law's house after a bday party so I guess those will just have to wait. Hope everyone had a super duper holiday season and the new year is treating them right so far.

To NFP

The other day at work some nurses were talking about large catholic families and how those families don't believe in birth control because they believe in NFP. What frustrated me so much was to hear them talk about it and the asinine comments they made. None of them were even close to being educated on what it is or how it works. I wanted to ask if they thought NFP was a 24/7 sex fest to try and be pregnant everytime you are fertile. Let's face it that is not what it is. Its being disciplined enough to know when you are fertile and when you aren't and to treat that fertility with respect. Why can't people understand that. Then what upset me even more is they proceeded to ask me why birth control was wrong in the eyes of the church and I said one of the major reasons is that BC is an abortifacient. One nurse said to me well that means it did its job. How apalling I can't even begin to think of harming any future children Randy and I might have by being on BC. It also made me sad to know that human life meant so little to my colleagues.

I can honestly say at this point I don't want to be a mom to 10 children or 18 like the famous Duggar Family. I can also say that I hope Randy and I don't have a menopausal baby, but God has a plan for Randy and I however many children we have. I am glad that there are people out there who do let go and let God. I look at the Duggar Family and I admire Jim and Michelle. Their children are well taken care of, emotionally balanced and morally intact. I also think it is amazing that they have that much love and are so unselfish and giving with that love with their children.

So my mommies out there who are NFPer's help educate the world about what it really is all about. I think it is amazing to be able to have the control to say to Randy now is an awesome time to try and bring another child into the world or now is not the time for us to be doing that let's express our love to each other in other ways.

To all you women out there on BC I hope you have the courage to ask someone who does NFP what's it all about. I think you would find a more satisfying way of seeing how fertility can work for you instead of trying to hide from this beautiful gift God has given us.

Thanks to everyone who helped make my bday so rocktastic yesterday and thanks to Roger (Randy's Boss) for letting us eat on the company dime with the new shop manager. Ted's was super duper awesome.

Boy or Girl????

Riht now its a surprise. The baby didn't want to share. So I guess we will either be surprised come baby day or find out in a later sono.

Evil Knievel????

What an exciting week for the O's. Monday night during bath time Wyatt stood up (yes it is a big no no but they move so quit there was no time to stop him) hit his chin on the other side of the tub and bled all over mommy and his towel. Hence prompting a run to Minor Emergency. So I grab him out of the tub check out the cut and tell Randy we have to go. Throw on a diaper grab a blanket and some PJ's we jumped in the car. He laughed and was all chatty all the way to Minor Emergency. Thank God we made it right in time. They were closing in 10 minutes. Wyatt ran all over the lobby after his PJ's were on and climbed on everything. I asked him if he had not learned his lesson from the tub incident. Of course he had to get 5 stitches, no fun for a little guy. After the stitches incident he was Mr. Happy man all the way home. He is such a daredevil.

On the plus side baby #2 has a nickname now. This baby moves so differently than Wyatt did. Sometimes it feels like baby is tickling me from the inside out. My bro in law said the baby was itchy tickly. I now call baby ITO. Its funny even when we knew Wyatt was a boy we called him LB throughout most of the pregnancy. My sis and bro called their baby Eduardo thoughout her pregnancy. It does help me to feel closer to the little one. Crazy but we are a nickname kind of family. Wednesday is the big day. We find out what we are having. I am excited about that but also the fact that we can see how baby is doing.

Boy or Girl????

So first off Congrats to Kristi, Andrew and Mia on their new little addition Vincent Joseph. How exciting and without the drugs even better. Good Job Momma!!!!

Hopefully the O's will be finding out if their little budle of joy will be needing pink or blue next week. I am hoping for a boy just cause I love Wyatt so much and I just feel as though I am not quite ready for a little girl. Also I have so many boy clothes. I just inherited even more from my sis in law who had little Caleb in April last year so I am already set for those seasons.

I love it, I am so neurotic I want a boy so badly that I have done like 8 million chinese lunar calendars and I get disheartened when it says girl. I am just going through a stage where I don't even want another baby right now. Which is crazy if you had asked me in June if I was ready for #2 I would have said HELL YEAH. In July though I had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I wanted more space between my bambiners and didn't want to try to have another baby until the spring. I currently feel like a terrible mom cause I don't even want to be a mom again right now. I just remind myself daily that God has a plan boy or girl and soon I will be out of my funk and wanting this child to be out of utero as much as I wanted Wyatt out of utero.

I must admit holding little Vince did make me a tiny bit jealous. It is so amazing to hold the fruits of your 9 month labor and to look at that little baby and know in your heart that God is truly amazing and he had it all figured out from the beginning. To know that you have been apart of something so beautiful and filled with love is just speechless, breathless and fulfulling at one time. Words cannot even begin to describe the emotions you have all at once when you carry that child and then hold it in your arms. Truly our children hold our hearts in their hands. I think I am slowly becoming more excited about this new little one as I type.

Whatever you are little one know that I will love you with all my heart.

So I am hoping for a boy but I must admit the girl name we have picked out is pretty rockin and I would like to use it someday.

Tell me what your guess is and if your lucky we might be willing to share the sex of the baby with you when we find out in the next week or two.
