Lexie's new toy!

We decided to buy Lexie a four-wheeler for her 2nd birthday and since we got a really good deal on this one we bought it a little early. We planned on keeping it a secret and hiding it from Lexie until her birthday, because it probably wouldn't be nice enough to ride for a while....right? Wrong! We couldn't stand it! The first nice weekend we showed Lexie her new toy. She was so excited she just kept saying, "my brooom brooom". So we put on her snow clothes and took her for rides around my parents house. Connor and Seth got a new four-wheelers too so it was so much fun for them all to be riding around on them. Seth was so happy because his four-wheeler is bigger than the "baby" ones. Here are some pictures from this weekend.

Here are the new toys all lined up in Grandpa Douglass' garage. Lexie's is the white one and the yellow ones are Connor and Seth's.

Lexie loves to push the gas but hasn't figured out how to steer it yet. Maybe next year Lexie will be big enough to ride by herself but for now she has to have a parent with her.

Broc giving Lexie a ride. The snow was hard enough that they could ride on top of it. I think Broc likes the new four-wheeler as much (or more) than Lexie!



We had so much fun riding the four-wheelers with the kids! I can't wait until summer so we don't have to be all bundled up and we can take the kids on some fun trails.

"Mommy....K?"

So mainly I'm posting to whine, but I am soooo sick of being sick! This pregnancy has been so hard. I have been really tired and nauseated almost everyday for the last 3months! I finally started to feel like the morning sickness is going away and then I got a really bad cold. It started last Thursday and I have been miserable ever since. Now instead of being nauseated from morning sickness I'm throwing up from coughing too much. Poor Lexie and Broc probably think that I'll never get better. Every time I start coughing Lexie gets this concerned look on her face and says, "mommy, k?" It is so cute! I love that she wants to make sure I'm okay. I feel like such a bad mother and wife because I literally sit on my butt all day long. Broc has been so good to me. He has been busy cleaning house, doing laundry, and taking care of me and Lexie. I had a really bad night last night and was up most of the night coughing, gagging and blowing my nose. Broc called his work and told them that he needed to stay home with me for a little while. It was so nice! He took care of Lexie and let me sleep in then he made me breakfast and cleaned the house and before he went to work he made sure to go get something for me and Lexie for lunch. I'm so lucky to have such a great husband!!

First Pictures of the Baby!

Today I had my first Ultrasound of the baby. I have been so excited to actually see the baby that has been making me soo sick! We took Lexie to the Doctor's appointment so she could see the baby too. She LOVED it! She was pointing at the monitor, smiling and saying, "baby". It was so cute! When the doctor handed me the pictures of the baby Lexie insisted on holding them. Oh and by the way I am only having ONE baby! I was so happy that it wasn't twins! My family has been teasing me and saying that I was having twins, which my dad and sister cleverly named Mac and Arthur McArthur. Needless to say if I were having twins I would NOT name them Mac and Arthur. The doctor gave me some medicine for morning sickness so hopefully my sick days are behind me! Now I just can't wait to see if we are having a boy or a girl. I took the gender predictor test and it said boy, which Broc was very excited about but we'll see. Like I keep telling Broc that test is just for fun, it's not a for sure thing!

This is a 3D Ultrasound Picture I think it turned out really good.

It was so fun to see the baby in 3D!

This is the regular 2D ultrasound. I love this picture cuz it looks like the baby is waving at us!
