The house in Somerton that we were expecting to be moving into at the first of October didn't work out.. Long story short, the guy didn't hold up his end of the deal and we felt like we were being lied to. We didn't want to get into that mess, so we pulled out of the deal before signing a lease.

On a good note, we found a place!!! I've been in contact with the homeowners for about 2 weeks now and we got to see it today. (They've been doing repairs and getting it ready to be lived in again) Jes, Jackson and I went to look at it and fell in love with it.. it is more perfect that what we expected!!! 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a 2 car garage. It's in a beautiful neighborhood. Best of all, there's grass in the front and backyard... and the backyard is completely fenced in!!! YAY!! The homeowners are going to be paying water, garbage and lawn care, so we're getting a really good deal!! Here's some pictures for those of you that may or may not make it down to see us here.

I put up a poll for you guys to guess if our baby will be a boy or a girl!! We will be finding out in about 4 weeks!!! :)

Not so much of a bean anymore!

I had a doctors appointment this morning. In the past there was a sign on their door and all over their office saying that children 12 years and under were not allowed. This was difficult at times, but I have a friend here that told me the sign was taken down, I called to double check and it's true.. kids are allowed now!!! I was so excited to be able to take Jackson (and Jes, of course) . Jackson got to see the baby for himself and he thought that was neat. :) Everything with the baby is fine, I'm doing great.. I only gained 1 pound!!! YAY!!! We'll find out what we're having in about 4-5 weeks!!!

Good News!!!

Since we moved down to Arizona we've been working on one of the most fun tasks of being parents.. potty training.. We have now lived here for about 3 months and I can officially say he's potty trained!!! He stays dry thru naps, bedtime and all day and has for the past 5 days!! I'm so proud of him!!! It's also a huge relief, we won't have to buy diapers until baby #2 makes their appearance, still months away.

I'll probably update again tomorrow because I have a baby appointment!!! I can't wait!!! :)

I popped!!!

Some mornings I wake up thinking to myself... am I really pregnant?? Well, this morning it's as if I "popped" out!!! Maybe I don't look very big to some of you, but I feel like baby is poking out there. I'm 11 weeks 4 days pregnant today... almost into my 2nd trimester!!

9 weeks pregnant

Just in case anyone cares.. I'm 9 weeks today!! Only 31 weeks to go!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Jackson!!!!

Thanks to many family and friends we all went in together and got Jackson this Motorized Jeep. He loves it!!! He's now a member of the Jeep family!

Most of you also have Facebook and the ability to see all my pictures there, so I'll spare blogger of all our Sea World and San Diego Zoo adventures.. So I just posted my favorite so far from Jackson's big day!!

Oh and I'm 8 weeks pregnant today... only 32 weeks to go!!! haha
