Preggers!

Oh hey! I feel like it's been longer then it really has been since I last took a little time to sit down and write.

So the latest..well if you follow me on Instagram you saw our huge news we announced on Christmas!

#2 coming August 8, 2015!

Shortly after we first thought we were pregnant, back here...Boom! It actually happened! I found out when I was about 6weeks along. Seriously if you really think you could be preggers don't spend so much on the pregnancy tests..I'm Dollar Store prego tests all the way! As soon as I got 1 very strong positive, I just knew. I mean I was already a week and a half late and with the free walk in urine prego tests my doctor's lab does, I used that to confirm. Actually in my situation with the weird false positives/chemical pregnancy that happened in October I just went straight for a blood test on top of the pee test. *The blood test is able to track your hormone levels, and in my case last time it noticed my levels weren't increasing as much as they should if I were actually pregnant..

I always love the cute pinterest ideas of how to spill the news to hubs but as soon as I saw the test, the first and second time...You want to scream and tell someone so of course I want him to be the first one and just called him right away..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fast forward to today! We're into the 2nd trimester! Whoop whoop! That first one was a doozy! Man I was exhausted! Pregnant and having a toddler is no freaking joke! We're going to stop at 2 kids but I can imagine, pregnant with 2 kids or more...ahhh you better have help!

So far I've only documented a couple belly bump pics and they were both at the gym..

Just a couple days shy of 11 weeks. We're showing big time sooner now!

I feel pretty small still..I think especially because I'm losing weight! Not that much to be concerned about, but it's kind of exciting starting this pregnancy 15lbs less then what I was when I got pregnant with Kenzie. #thankyouAdvocare. No, I'm absolutely not taking anything still to lose weight! Just my vitamins and occasional fiber drink..Also only because I ran out, I'm now, (conveniently right when I hit the 2nd trimester) back to 1 Spark a day and my fave Catalyst.

The difference this go around? Well, first, I'm not eating everything in sight "because I'm pregnant!" Also my eating choices are a lot smarter since I really learned how to eat properly when I did my first challenge. And second, I became pretty active before getting pregnant so have remained just as active with weight training and cardio..and now I've picked up yoga and pilates classes. 

I mean it's a good problem to have, I guess..except I had to stop running the other day because my pants were falling down...

I just may have to buy some new maternity clothes since I have a feeling they'll be too big this time! Now this is a good problem to have. Mama likes to shop!

Now that I have prego updates to make... I want to treat this pregnancy the same as my first...share the same excitement, attention, yes probably another baby shower!...if we have another girl I'll just have a little "Sprinkle" since I already have enough girly things.

I can't wait to get back into posting more again! Next exciting update? We already find out the sex next Friday if baby is cooperative. ❤
What do you think we'll be having?! Can't wait to find out and share next week!

Goodbye Fall!

I know I know.. technically (cuz I just looked it up) Fall lasts until right before Christmas. But to me.. It’s December which equals Winter!

A little update.. Kenzie is 17months (11/18) almost a year and a half which is 1/2 way to 2 years old! Blows my mind how fast time goes.

Besides my amaze work from home part time gig with AdvoCare.. I’ve just been kinda running this little Mom group with my good friend.. She’s been in her first trimester with her 3rd bebe so I’ve kinda taken over while she’s a little MIA. This keeps me pretty busy..it’s like a little “job”. Managing a calendar of events..and getting everyone into it..There are like 60 woman (a lot that haven’t come to anything yet).. and many, many little babes.. but it’s fun.

I find it harder and harder to post as often as I used to so here’s a HUGE dump of pictures from our Fall, or the past couple months.

We took a few walks to Big Break.. so nice this is right in our backyard pretty much. #deltalivin

 

 

These twinsies.

 

Someone’s discovered the stereo and figured out to turn on the music and turn it up.. There’s lotsa dancing going on over here.

Note to other mama’s.. those bath paints.. don’t let it sit overnight without washing off.. Our walls are stained.. Although I really haven’t tried any products on it yet..

 

We went to Shay’s 2nd birthday party.

 

and our happy little girl loving Josephine’s meat pasta.. Those Sicilians know how to cook! Wish I knew the recipe, she loved that stuff!

 

My lovebug with a little cold.

 

We still tried to soak up some summer evenings before the nights start earlier.. (<<did that even make sense?!)

Lotsa park meetups and playdates.

 

By the way.. it’s free and kinda fun to tour a fire station.. I haven’t been inside a fire house or truck probs since I was Kenz’s age.

We’re trying to kick our dog food addiction..

 

We celebrated Auntie’s bday.

 

 

My little girl cracking up at her daddy. Sometimes it’s fun to go through hubs phone and see the pics he takes..She loves her daddy and thinks he’s hilarious.

 

I did my first full 24 day challenge. For some reason I love this pic. It’s prob her little feetsies.

 

I did my first AdvoCare booth! It was so out of my comfort zone but it was fun!

 

TROUBLE

 

We went to our first downtown Trick or Treating event.. It was sorta silly for us.. she didn’t care for the candy (neither did we).. it was more just to experience it.

Went to the Smith Family Farms Pumpkin Patch…tradition now with the two grandma’s.

 

Hayride to get pumpkins..

 

 

Our 2nd Halloween! First time trick or treating (for reals)

 

Pictures.. to be continued.. part deux. Phhew! That was a ton.. and just all of October.

 

But from just this past weekend, I have to share these fun pics.

We had a fun, quick photoshoot for our Christmas card and then for a Christmas gift for my in laws. My friend’s neighbor is only 16, taking a photo class in high school and charged us only $35.. I think she did an awesome job.

 

We went to my Mother in law’s Dad’s property.. so bob’s Grandpa’s house. They have an almond orchard.. and huge vineyard. We were really trying to beat the rain and the vineyard just didn’t look as “pretty” as we were thinking so we’re hoping my MIL will recognize the shed behind them.. haha.

Getting 3 kids and BIG KIDS I may say.. (those 2 boys are like children together..everything’s a joke) to focus and get some shots was pretty difficult. She took about 50pics of just these 3 little poses and only these 3 turned out and even Kenzie isn’t perfect in that group shot but whatevs.

 

And because Mr. Stache thought he was hot stuff and didn’t want to shave it off… getting even our little family shoot didn’t happen as amazing as I hoped. Here are a few though that I like.. Ordered our Xmas cards today!

 

In Cali it’s kinda feeling like Winter, all stormy this week.. I’m loving it. Can’t wait to put up the Christmas decorations this week!
