update

ok so im really bad about updating my blog but oh well. durring the last 2 months our life has changed alot. tom's work schedule has changed about 3 diffrent times from working strait days to shift work to a wierd version of shift work that he is working now. this week is shutdowns and he is working 16 hour days rather than the normal 12 hour days. its really hard to have him gone all the time and i get very lonely and depressed.

right now im 31 weeks pregnant and with that comes a very large belly and an active healthy baby!! the baby's name is Kyle Thomas Cook and we are very excited to welcome him into our lives. with this pregnancy comes really bad mood swings and and lots of worries about the changes in my body. i constantly worry about what is normal and what is not and poor tom is just as bad as i am about worring. i guess that in a few short weeks we can worry about a baby and not my pregnancy!!

i am deffinantly a boy!!! this is my other favorite.

Hi everyone!! if you cant tell from the name of this post, we went in yesturday for our ultrasound and found out that we are having a baby boy!!! we are so excited to make him a part of our little family. Tom and i have decided that we are going to name him Kyle Thomas unless we think of another name that we like better. the baby is still measuring a week bigger than what he should be so we think that i might be a week further along than i am now. he is very active and was moving around like crazy when they forst started the ultrasound and then after a while he got tired and tried to fall asleep while they were trying to do the 3d ultrasound. tom keeps telling me that the baby has my facial features and im not so sure that i see that. well no matter who hi looks like we will love him just the same. well i need to go clean my house so ill see ya later!!

Our Baby!!!

hey everyone!! im sorry its been such a long time. just incase people dont know, im pregnanat and we are due june 28th. everything is going great so far and tom and i are so excited to be parrents. we went in december 1st for the first ultra sound and at first the baby wasnt moving much at all but i think the dr. bumped it and the baby went crazy!!! both arms and legs went strait out and it started doing flips and standing on its head!! the dr kept telling us how active this baby is for only ten weeks and i just looked at tom and said "it must be related to its daddy!" i felt kinda bad cause my first reaction is to laugh when i get nervous and thats all i could do and that combine with the baby moving so much made it hard for the dr to get the heart beat. here are some pics of the baby at 10 weeks.

this is toms favorite one

and this is my favorite cause you can see the face

we are going in around the first of feb to find out the gender of the baby. at around 14 weeks i started to feel the baby move and that is one of the strangest feelings ive ever felt!! now im almost 16 weeks and i can feel for sure when the baby is moving. tom can feel it from the outside and its almost like he is teasing the baby! he will put his hand on one side of my belly the hurry and move it to the other side. i think its really funny to watch and feel!

here are some random pics that i like alot.



i walked in my bedroom one day and found taffy on my bed and i didnt have the heart to tell her to get down!! she looked so cute!



ahh... so cute!!
