So I have needed to update my blog for while with something interesting but I just don't seem to really want to be on the computer much but here you go. We've had a few things going on recently but nothing too interesting. We'll start with some pictures:

Daddy and Emry goofing around after church. Daddy is so proud of his thug man! This picture is growing on me!

We got to celebrate Emry's birthday with some of his friends. He did great at blowing out his candle!!

This picture seems really weird but Emry is giving baby sister Shellie(we think her name is) kisses. It was really cute and I look really really big here. I was probably 29 weeks here.

This last weekend I was able to do the Bountiful Baskets that a friend told me about. This is the food we got for 15 bucks! I was impressed. I have already used the spinach and tried the grapefruit and mango. Things I would never ever buy or normally try. I'm excited to make the asparagus for Em tonight and as soon as I remember to buy flour at the store I'll be making zuccini bread. Hopefully we like it. It was also fun to go and volunteer at the event. I have NEVER gone to do something by myself since Emry was born! It was nice to be alone and actually doing something none errand like!

IT'S COMING!

May 7th I finally get to graduate from college FOR REAL!!! I finished my class yesterday though classes don't end until May 5th. I am anxiously awaiting my diploma to be in my hand!!!

Devin and I celebrated 3 years yesterday! We went out to our favorite restaurant on Saturday and spent the whole day doing fun things for us and Emry. It was AMAZING to actually have Devin home on a Saturday! I can't wait for snow season to go away, granted it means that he'll have to start working on trucks and I STILL won't see him but at least he won't be gone alllllll day long hours away!

In the next couple weeks we'll celebrate our Temple anniversary as well. Hopefully we'll actually get to go since we pretty much haven't gotten to go since that day. My awesome friends are throwing me a baby shower at the end of April so I have that to look forward to as well. Then Graduation then I'll be staying the final 2 weeks of pregnancy in Utah. We're inducing on May 20th! It's nice to have a day to look forward to! I am 32 weeks almost right now. Hopefully it goes by fast!

Oh I was able to get Emry's room all painted up this last week too. It literally was a 5 day project for me. Man were my arms hurting after all the taping and prep work, then the actual painting. Now we just have to finish the crib and the one hundred little craft projects on my list and we'll be ready for baby! That's all for now....

Happy Birthday Emry!!!

Today my baby boy turned 2!!! I can't believe he is that old already!
I love you so much Emry and so does Daddy! We hope you have a wonderful Day and weekend!!!
A few pictures....
A couple months old....Mommy's scrunchie face that Emry has begun to do yet again....

Happy mischievious boy!

Bald monkey lol

Emry's birthday shirt... we had to see if it fit but he wouldn't sit still for a picture

Emry's birthday cake. It was a lot of fun to make!!!

He's having a party tomorrow with friends and then family on Sunday. He's a super special spoiled boy and we love him to pieces.....more pics and news to come later this week

Baby Girl Anderson

Here's our baby girl!

To me these pictures are so totally gross looking but there she is. She's not sucking her thumb but has her hand up to her mouth. She has been like this in every on of the the ultrasounds so far. In the picture that I have of Emry like this, it's gross too, but now when I look at it after he was born, it really does look like him. So hard to imagine that my baby girl will kind of resemble this image someday.


This is my favorite picture. It cracks me up every single time cuz of the arrow and GIRL! lol we've known forever that she's a girl because man is she NOT shy. She has them spread every single ultrasound too. The technician was all.....oh man you better keep watch on this girl!!!



And of course the cute feet picture. I'm getting very excited to have a girl finally! Not to play dress up and make her girly and stuff but just to have something different then so much freaking testosterone around.

We don't have a name and in all reality we probably won't until the baby comes. Devin doesn't seem to want to give us the time of day to even discuss looking for names so if that keeps up then I'll be naming her and he'll have to deal.

Pregnancy is going good for the most part. Since our furnace got fixed and we aren't being poisened anymore, I haven't been throwing up or had migraines. I have been forgetting most days that I'm pregnant. However that has come to and end. I swear she grew twice the size overnight and gained a severe kick and punch. She sits really low so it's very painful to have her moving around so much. Emry was up much higher and never really kicked my ribs. It always felt like he stuck his arm up between my ribs and wiggled it around like you would in water that would make waves inside me. Just uncomfortable but not nearly as painful as when this girl moves.

We are 23 weeks and a few days now so we're getting closer. It was going by very fast but at the second seems slow. I have had to drive to Utah literally every single week for the past five weeks. I get three weeks off and I'm very excited! Mostly because......

Emry is fine! He had a couple visits to primary's hospital and this last visit the Dr called back and said he couldn't find the hole. I am very happy though I have no idea what that means for his heart murmur which he definitely has? Just very happy no surgury!!!! He had a rough day after the hospital and it was very hard for me to see my baby unconsious but he's a champ!

So no we're counting down the days until May, we have a lot going on until then, Devin's birthday is this week, then Emry at the end of the month, then our anniversaries, not that they'll be anything special because Devin won't even remember or care but at least we'll mark off one more year. Then the baby will be here to meet us! Happy Day

Sorry this turned into my journal reading but I haven't gotten this down anywhere else so sorry about the boring blog!

"Saintlike... holy, holey, geddit Fred?"

Leave it to me to make a joke to start but there ya go. Extra points if you knew that was from Harry Potter.

On Friday I took Emry to Primary Childrens Hospital to have his Heart Murmur checked out. He's had it since he was born and it never went away like all the doctors thought it would. Sadly it progressively got worse and he rose up a couple stages( kind of like cancer one being mild curable cancer to 5 being it's spread throughout your body). There are a lot bigger scale than five numbers though for the heart since there are different chambers etc. Anyway he got a couple tests done and the Cardiologist listened to his heart and has determined that Emry has a hole in his heart.
DEVESTATION hits me. I wasn't expecting that but I kept my composer and didn't cry. I have to take him back on my birthday(25th) for him to have a sedated echocardiogram done to find out the location and size of the hole. Depending on those results, we'll know when he'll need to have surgury and what kind. I'm so sad. I don't want my baby boy to have heart surgury. I feel like I have failed. Like drinking stupid Dr. Pepper when I was pregnant caused this. Ugh I hate this feeling. The tears are coming so I better end this blog.

Winter Wonderland

I decided that I should blog a little before Christmas becaue I might forget after so here's a little of what we've been doing around here. Daddy got out his snowmobile winter gear and was going through it to see what's mysteriously disappeared this year and Emry picked up Daddy's old helmet(he got a new one for Christmas). Daddy put the helmet on and Mommy and Daddy spent the next ten minutes laughing their head off as their kid TRIED to stand up and walk. I got the end on video. Oh so funny!!

Then they went outside to play in the snow(first accumulation that hasn't blown away this year). It did blow away a coupld hours later though.

Emry's first snow angel.

Snow(sand) box playing.

This last weekend we had a ward christmas party and Emry got to meet Santa. Devin prepped Emry while they were in line trying to show that Santa was fun and that the kids loved him. Well he was very unsure and I got this picture milliseconds before........

This happened....True to your first meeting with Santa, Emry screamed and Candy didn't even fix it til he ran for daddy.

This is our house in snow. I just realized that our Christmas lights fell off last night during the storm :( It snowed Saturday night about 8 inches and then Sunday night about another 4. It had begun to melt on Sunday when it warmed up so now our street is just one big frozen lake. It's so bad that our neighbor directly across from us, drove his truck into the house at the end of the street. We don't know what happened yet, he didn't try to turn around the corner so we think he had a seizure and hit the gas. Scary!

Emry got to play with one of his Christmas presents early. He absolutely loves anything risky and dangerous. Daddy dragged him around the yard and made jumps for him to go flying off from. oh how he loves to scare mommy. Daddy even made a snow slide for Emry. Man they had fun

Laughing baby

This is daddy pulling a laughing emry over the jumps. He was soaking wet and freezing but Emry wanted to keep playiing. Crazy kids.

Devin has one more week of craziness with Fedex then hopefully it will slow down and they will all get a break from long days. We don't have any great plans for Christmas yet. My dad is coming through town so we might head to Utah to see him, not sure yet. But then the next couple weeks will be full of Dr appointments and hopefully we'll be able to take Emry to Primary's to get his heart stuff checked out. Fingers crossed it's all perfect!

Name Poll

So I hate looking for names.....the Dr thinks the baby is a girl though it's VERY early to know for sure but we've started on our name search. These aren't our top names or for sure picks but so far we kind of like them. So we did a poll to the right, so choose which one you vote for and help us make up our minds!

Life is boring now, I'm studying for my last test this week and then I'll have a break until January. I don't know what I'll do with my time? Oh ya clean the house and do the MANY projects I haven't had enough time or energy to do. If Emry cooperates. Devin is crazy busy at work so we barely see him, most nights Emry doesn't even get to. Sad. But hopefully he'll get a break after Christmas and just MAYBE he'll remember what I wanted for Christmas( a romantic gettaway that he FULLY plans and surprises me with baby free). I'm not getting my hopes us. He's a dreadful romantic but we'll see.

Emry is getting better finally but still not sleeping and crying a lot. Just weird he's so sad. Miss's his daddy.

Thats our life. Boring
