We had our Sonogram

So on friday we did go in for our 20 week sonogram. We're half way done cookin this bun. We found out that it's a boy! This is fun. Now I can shop for boy stuff. It'll be cool to have one of each.

The sonogram lady said that everything looked good. And he was moving and kicking the whole time. We just have to come up with a name now. We really don't know what to call him and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Easter Hunting!

Mary has had a great Easter week. She's done about 3 or 4 egg hunts (I lost count.) and had lots o chocolate. (That's her favorite candy.) Here's Mary and her friend Marcus at one hunt together.She does have a pretty dress on but it was pretty cold that morning and raining off and on so we'll have to catch her in the dress later.
Here's some more hunts we went to. Bummer it's been cold and rainy all week.
Here we are stuffing our face with chocolate.
And we didn't actually do this egg hunt because the playground looked so inviting and it was sort of a mad house.
It's been a fun week. We'll let you know how Easter Sunday went soon.

Disneyland

We had a great time at Disneyland. The Carosel was Mary's favorite ride. We went on it twice and she'd scream every time we got off. So we moved on to other rides. We went on Priates of the Caribean and she was a little scared but did well. And at the end where you see the Parot, she was excited. I had baught her a Tinkerbell balloon and it turns out that she doesn't like Tinkerbell. She said "No" so I traded it for a Mickey Balloon.She was happy with that balloon. We met Mary Poppins but Mary got all shy when it was time to take a picture. We love Mary Poppins though.
We also got to pet some goats. That was pretty fun. Mary loves all animals including pygmy goats.

We had a pretty good time. Next we'll try Legoland (where she can actually go on a lot of rides.) and Sea World. And we'll need to go to some Aquariums. Keep you updated.

We did it!


So her room is a little messy. But as you can see, we got her a big girl bed! Grandma and I decided that a bunk bed would be best especially with one on the way. They can share it when they get older. We kept her crib in her room just in case she wanted to use it. But she didn't.

On monday we went to IKEA and found a bed for her. We got the bedding at Target. (They have some great stuff.) We built it on tuesday and put the bedding on it and she never gave her crib a second thought. She slept through the night on the first night and through her nap the next day. Pretty cool.
Here's a picture of the bedding we got. I think it's called Garden Party.

So that's the scoop. Mary loves her new bed and I'm so excited that she's learning to sleep in a big girl bed. She still gets up sometimes and opens the door and comes out to see if it's really bed time. But she's getting better at that.

Sleeping well


I think we finally got Mary sleeping through the night. Her schedule is 7:30pm to 6:00am. Not my favorite schedule. But, Mary seems to do well with it. She's an early bird, that's for sure. Sometimes she has off nights but for the past couple of weeks she's basically been sleeping through the night. Last night she just wok up once for a few seconds and then was fine. It's weird having a kid sleep through the night when you're so used to them not. At first I was a little worried because she wasn't waking up. But that's a good thing. But sine I'm pregnant 8 hours sleep for me isn't enough really. But I take naps and sleep on the weekends with Rich's help.

Our new car...minivan


Hey so we baught a new car. Or actually a minivan. I actually baught a minivan! I actually found one I liked. We got it at a great discount because it's a 2008 and they wanted to move them. We got leather seats and a dvd player. It has power sliding doors and fog lights. :) It's the gls trim with all the packages. Anyhoo. We both love it and it'll be great with 2 kids. So far it drives well and feels good!




We found out that the poor camry needs a new transmission and the head gasket seals are blown so oil leaks into the cylinders and it'll burn oil when you turn it on. It'll be about $4000 to repair and the car's worth like $6000. So we'll be donating it to Kars4Kids. We'll get a small tax write off and then the charity will get more use out of it than us.
