I miss you everyday. It has been a year since you left this world so sudden and so sadly. I wish things weren't this way and that I could go back and make everything right. I hope you know now that you were not as alone as you thought.  I wish I could have shown you all of the people who love you. Every time I hear 311 I think of all the fun times we had. You were a wonderful person with the greatest smile. May God be with you till we meet again. I love you my dear friend.  CJM May 16, 1987- April 25, 2011 Dashboard Confessional It's been a year now, since you were here now And I've been trying to heal inside Dedications have all been placed And I see your resemblance in my face And on our birthday I said an extra wish for you, for you And I have learned so much since you've been gone And I have done so little for so long So now I'll settle up these grievances and focus on the savory And wave all these discrepancies away And I'll peter ...

Before I start I want to apologize for the detail and things I blog about. Now that my blog is private I can be more open. I've said this before, but I want to turn my blog into a book and look back on it some day and how I felt at that moment. My memory is horrible... This is my own little journal. Take it or leave it. I hope you enjoy. Time to get out the maternity jeans, the regular jeans no longer fit so fat clothes here we come. I haven't had any food aversions like I did with Peyton. With her I couldn't even look at Chicken with out vomiting. Don't get me wrong some meat really isn't my favorite right now, but I still eat it. I am waking up in the night with charlie horses. Oh how I hate them! I also hate this super hero sense of smell too! I am no longer craving salty things, I've now moved on to anything sweet. Who knows how many packets of fruit snacks I eat a day.... Lets not get started on the ice cream bowls every night. Speaking of the crap f...

Half way there people! It's nice to know I'm half way it feels great. I was telling Mike on the drive home from the doctor that in some ways it just hasn't hit me that we are having another one. He said it has for him, but that our family just dosen't feel complete yet. I reassured him that it will when he gets here :) As for these last few weeks have gone SLOW because my SIL is expecting and due on Friday and I can't stand it. So exciting! Houston and Cozy will be only 5 months apart. Peyton and Cozy will only be 15 months apart. I think they will all be great friend. How far along?: 20 weeks 3 days Total weight gain: I am what I weighed when I got pregnant with Peyton! Which makes me feel great! Oh but lets not forget i'm stil up 10lbs. Which is still in the good range :) Maternity clothes: Not really, which is great! I can still wear a few of my bigger jeans and most of My regular shirts which is great. Not for very much longer though. Best moment of...

Houston Michael Hall is the name we have chosen. Mike really loves it, Houston is his late Grandfathers name and some called him Huey baby. I know I've had a few others growing up, but I picked Peyton and it's only fair daddy gets to pick his little boys name. 15 Weeks I have woke up the past few nights feeling nauseas and also again in the mornings. I have to force my self to eat because once I do two things can happen. Most of the time I feel A LOT better. Sometimes it all comes back up. I am working out (slow jogging, mostly walking and some lifting) almost everyday which feels great I think it is helping me sleep better and give me more energy during the day. I didn't start walking with Peyton until I was 8, 9 months along there was no way I could have done that with her.  I am still weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with Peyton, but my pants are so much tighter. I am defiantly showing a lot faster with Houston. I am not as worried about gaining weight t...

Jan. 2012 1 year and 1 Month She has finally mastered sucking through a straw. She had a lot of fun with Mi Mi while we were on our cruise. She did get sick and Mi Mi took her to the doctor. My doctor told her not to tell me till we got back. HA! He knows me too well. She is saying so many words. She has started throwing more little fits when she doesn't want to do something. Pey loves to give escamo kisses and hugs. She always grabs my phone and puts it up to her ear and says HI. Uh oh I know 1 going on 16.... We attempted a french braid and it was an epic fail. 1. I have no idea how to french braid. Mind you I grew up with boys! 2. She would not sit still. Thank goodness for friends with girls,Youtube and Pinterest I'd be lost with out them. Books are still her favorite thing besides Kilo which is by far her favorite word. She loves kids! She just sits and stares and laughs at them when we have our mommy dates at Chick-fil-a. I hate taking her to the store even thought it is ...

Mike and I have been planning this day for months, well more me than him. I knew I wanted both families to be surprised. Mike and I decided to wait till we could tell everyone the gender to be the day we announced as well. I made a Facebook group for a "surprise" birthday lunch for Mike and invited our families to TGI Fridays in Sandy. I had to pick a place that was only in Sandy and near the South Town. Not to mention it is where we first met.  I let them all think he knew nothing about it and of course he was scheming right along side me. I made Peyton a Big Sister shirt to pass the time this week. We waited for our families to arrive at the restaurant and when they were all there we walked in and Mike acted surprised. He then said "We actually have a surprise of our own" and told everyone to "read Peyton's shirt." It was amazing everyone was surprised! Mike then proceeded to tell them "Oh and by the way after lunch we are going ove...
