A Few Updates!!!!

I finally took Gavin in for his 12 month check up. I was a little scared to get his shots because I had heard from a few people that the MMR shot has been linked to Autism, which is most common in boys. So I was very hesitant to get them done. But I had worried for nothing!! All the hype was completely false!! I spoke with my Doctor about it and he directed me to a website that explains that the study was very incorrect. Hopefully this will help anyone that might be worried. Gavin is weighing in at 21Lbs & 12oz and measuring 30 inches. He's healthy and Happy!!! Although his toe nail did fall off and now his toe looks kinda yucky!! Now he is my little gimp. I just hope it grows back normal or even at all.

I was told by my Doctor the other day that I have a low-lying Placenta, which is also called Placenta Previa. This is when the placenta either completely or partially covers the Cervix. Which means if it does not move up, I might have to go on bed rest and would with out question have to have another C-section. My goal for this baby was to not have a C-section. Which so far everything was looking good for that to happen. I will have another Ultrasound at 28 weeks to see if the placenta has moved up. In most cases it does, so I am not to worried about it. But for anyone that knows Gavin, a C-section would not be so easy this time around and by no means am I saying it was easy the first time.

We have slowed our search for house.. Things were not working out in our favor. We are going to take some time and pray again about our decision to buy a house right now.. It might be the lords way of telling us that we need to wait or that we need to move to Utah ( :) haha I wish about the Utah thing). There is nothing I want more than to move out of our shack and into a real house. But something I have finally learned in my short life is patients. Hopefully soon we will have a house for our growing family. Another huge worry of mine is that the economy might get so bad that it might effect us buying a house. I just have to remind myself that at least I have a happy and healthy family who loves the Lord and that is all that really matters.

Lastly we still have not thought of a name for our little girl. I didn't realize how hard it is to pick out a girls name! I have a few in mind, they are just not sticking with me. Hopefully we will think of something before she gets here, so we don't have to name her something like Provo, or Florida hahahahahahaha JK.....

The Explorer

The past few weeks Gavin has been quite the curious little boy. He has found every and any small space that he can crawl into. It's really kinda funny and amusing. I got a picture of all his finds except for when he pulls out the cake pans and tries to sit inside. He even tries to crawl inside the dryer, but thankfully he is not tall enough yet. If his head wasn't so big he would also be successful at getting his whole body underneath the couch.

IT'S A GIRL!!!

WOOO HOOO! I finally got my Girl!! We are so excited to be having a little girl.. Bring on the Dresses and Bows and all the other Pink fun stuff! Now all we need to do is find a name for this little woman!!

MGM Studios

We went to MGM with our friends David and Patrice Hill. We had such a great time it was just soooo freakin HOT!!! Chasing your child around in the hot sun while being Prego is not to fun. Gavin escaped while we were waiting for the parade to start. (Above)



He was way to worried about the Green Army Man to look at the camera. He would not take is eyes off of him!


This was after we went on the new Toy Story ride (which was pretty fun).




We had to get this picture, since Gavin is the mini Yoda. It was Star Wars weekend and there were a lot of weirdo people dressed up in Star Wars costumes. I am sure some died of heat stroke. To bad we never ran into a live Yoda. Gavin even had Yoda colors on, which was not intentional.



Gavin was pretty freaked out from this guy (I am not sure what or who he is supposed to be.) It was pretty funny to watch his reaction. He started crying when we put him back in the stroller. The mean things we do to our kids for a laugh.



Gavin became very fond of Pooh at the gift shop. I think its because it reminded him of daddy:0)


WE FIND OUT TOMORROW WHAT THE BABY IS!!!!!

Pictures from the week

Gavin playing outside! This is what he absolutely loves the most in the world. If he were any more like his Grandpa George it might be scary!!

And this is what happens when you tell him its time to come inside.

Gavin at the pool with his ladies. Yes, he is quite the ladies man!! He had four little mama's to pick from. Thank goodness he just wanted to play with Madison's toys!



Forget sharing with him. The little stinker has to have his own Popsicle.

Oh, and just so everyone knows, we find out if the baby is a bambino or bambina in 6 DAYS!! I can't wait! I have yet to figure out why this is one of the most exciting things you get to do in your life. (At least it is for me!!)

Booboo Alert!!

I was cleaning the house the other day and I took the child latch off the cupboard for less then 30 seconds to get the cleaning supplies. The next thing I know Gavin has the Pledge can and drops it on his Big Toe. The poor kid screamed so loud you would've thought his toe fell off. I know it had to hurt soooooo bad, his toe was red and the nail was black. It pretty much ruined his whole day. I felt like such a bad mommy, but he is such a trooper!
