Update on the little man!

I'm 29 weeks today. Not feeling super great... But today was just a rough day. I was a baby and didn't even go to work.
Total weight gain: (Wasn't sure how much I liked this question...) About 15ish lbs.
Maternity clothes: Hasn't changed. Still fit into all my clothes. YAY!

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: Ya... not getting too much of that. 
Best moment this week: Sheesh... he's been a nut ball. Its been fun having him squirm so much.
Miss anything: Same things but add having energy and feeling GOOD....
Movement: Yes, I'm scared for when he is a toddler...
Food Cravings: Watermelon still but add Ice to that. 
Gender: BOY!!!!
Symptoms: Thus far I'm not a fan of third trimester. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE having him be so active... Just not so sure about feeling like crap all the time. I bet it will be fine. I think I was just extra sick today that made it more fun....
Happy or Moody most of the time: Still really happy. No roller coasters for me.
Wedding ring on or off: On!
Showing: Yup. Huge. Here is the 'high quality" phone picture to prove it. Taken today...

Please note: I am wearing Oakly's basketball shorts as all I've done today is lay on the couch and watch USA network online to try and catch up on episodes of Suits since we don't have cable.... Yay! 

Ok where the crap did July go?

Alright people. This time fly's stuff is making me crazy. First it was June that decided to run past me and now July? August... Will you be on my side? Doubt it. Any way!

Things are amazing here at the Rogers house hold. We are preparing for our wonderful little bundle and loving it. We cannot wait to have him here (though he does need to bake a little longer).... This week is Oak's "hell week" if you will. To him its a four letter word... Fair.... Tooele County puts on a fair that Oak just so happens to be a major part of. I haven't seen him since 6:30 this morning and won't see him most likely until 1 AM. Yes. I miss him dearly. This week I am single...

Well let's back track shall we?

July was an awesome month though it did sprint right by! The fourth of July is always fun, guess what we did? That's right... Rodeo! And of course BBQ and games and all that jazz. It was an amazing time actually. Family came over and we had a BBQ at our house and then went over to the Bit and Spur rodeo at the complex. I enjoyed me some funnel cake and walked around aimlessly the majority of the time.. Bleachers aren't super awesome on ones knocked up back. Oak, of course, had to work the rodeo so he was in the arena the whole time. So wandering was fun... haha really though it wasn't too bad. I love living in a small town you can't go two steps with out seeing someone and having a 15-131854 minute conversation with them. Anywho. There is just something about the fourth of July. Its amazing.

Hey! We did get one picture of us on the 4th! Be kind, I was close to 6.5 months along....

Our amazing friends had their little boy on July 7th and he is a doll. Literally. He looks like a baby doll. So perfect! I'm obsessed with him a little bit. Makes me just that much more excited for this little tank to come out!

Now for the 24th of July, we did the traditional Bee's game with the Landvatter fam. It was really a great time. I wish I had taken my camera... But no, I failed miserably. Oak and I got these ice cream cones that were bigger than both of us put together. They were delightful and the Bee's actually won! We couldn't stay for the fireworks or anything which was a bummer, but we loved the time that we were able to spend with family!

Our little bundle!

So to keep you all updated I found this cute little template of fun things to say about the pregnancy! So here goes!

I'm 24 weeks & 3 days today. Feeling really good!
Total weight gain: (Wasn't sure how much I liked this question...) About 12 lbs.
Maternity clothes: One pair of capris and two shirts just because they were comfy, but honestly I still fit into all of my normal clothes (thank heavens!).

Stretch marks: No

Sleep: Whats that? Just kidding, its not too bad. I can't complain :).
Best moment this week: Having the little guy finally show off for his Daddy and he was able to feel everything, normally he gets stage fright and stops moving when someone puts their hand on my belly.
Miss anything: My flat stomach, normal belly button, and perfect back that never had any back pain. Haha its also starting to get a bit harder to bend over to shave my legs and what not.
Movement: YES, little man is crazy!
Food Cravings: Watermelon.
Gender: BOY!!!!
Symptoms: So much better than first trimester. I do have the occasional back pain and leg cramp but for the most part I've LOVED second trimester!
Happy or Moody most of the time: I actually ask Oak this on a weekly basis. I don't want to be one of those crazies that just because they are preggers they turn into a whack job. But really I haven't been too bad at all. I have the occasional day where I just want to cry or I do and then I just laugh at myself because its so funny that I'm crying for nothing. But for the most part I have been my normal self.. Happy :).
Wedding ring on or off: On!
Showing: Definitely. I don't just look like I'm gaining weight anymore there is a basketball there. And here is the pic to prove it!

 

July already??

Alright, I really can't believe its July already. Time fly's!!

June was amazing and kept us crazy busy. We had our 2 year anniversary yesterday and I cannot even  believe that its been that long. Some days it feels like we've been together for 50 years (which is a good thing) and others it feels like a few days (which is also a good thing) keeps things exciting!

I truly have the worlds most incredible husband. I cannot even begin to express how much I love him. He really is my everything and I thank my loving Heavenly Father every day for such an amazing man as my husband. I really got a catch!

There are sooooo many things that I love about Oak but here is a TINY list any way!

I love that he is so good to me.
I love that he loves me.

I love that he is patient.
I love that he is spiritual.

I love that he is going to be the best daddy in the whole wide world.
I love that he is a cowboy.

I love that he is a hard worker.

I love that he is so much fun.
I love that he is unconditional.
I love that he is handsome.

I love that he makes me laugh.
I love that he can be shy.
I love that he makes fun of me but when I retaliate he can't take it. (haha bless your heart).
I love that he cares so much about me.
I love that he is so trust worthy.
I love that he is so loving.
I love that he seriously completes me and makes me a better person.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU OAKLY ROGERS AND I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE AND MY ETERNITY!!

20 WEEKS!

I can't believe I'm already to the half way point. Boy... Has it been a ride. There are some women who have said that they LOVE being pregnant... Well I am not one of those women. I mean it does have its perks such as...

I LOVE that I can feel him inside me.
I LOVE that I now have a bond with him that no one else will.
I LOVE when Oak can feel him kick an he gets so excited.

And honestly that's about it. I love everything about my little guy... Just ya... haha. (is that selfish?)

Any way! I am very grateful for all the experiences I've had with him and truly am so blessed that we get to have such a wonderful little boy. I am grateful that I have the ability to be pregnant and carry my own wonderful children.

Here is the 20 week bump people, 5 months, half way!



I was only supposed to get my bump and not my face... Soooo... No I'm not angry just concentrating... real .....hard......to get a good picture. Ha, yes gotta love it.

Any way! Our Memorial Day weekend was AMAZING. We were able to do so many wonderful and fun things, I really loved it. And being able to be with our friends and family was prime. I'm so grateful also to be reminded of those who have fought for us and for our freedom in this wonderful country!

Saturday we were able to go to the Air Show and while we were there it was really great to be with everyone! Unfortunately mother nature had other plans and the weather turned from bad to worse in a matter of seconds! The show was cancelled and we ended up being a mile away from our car in the pouring rain... My wonderful husband did all he could to keep me warm and dry and I am SOOO grateful for his built in heating system. And... despite his efforts we got to our car SOAKED to the bone. (Don't worry, nothing that a really hot shower within two hours of driving couldn't mend ;)).

That night we were able to go to the temple with our good friends Kevin and Kellie. We haven't done an endowment session for a long time so we decided to catch that session. It was the Hispanic session and it was sooo amazing to be able to be on the flip side of things. I LOVED hearing certain parts in Spanish it was so beautiful and of course my testimony grew tremendously. Oakly was able to get an answer to who he was going to call as secretary in the Elders Quorum... (oh ya, he's the Elder's Quorum President now...its been such a HUGE blessing to us and he LOVES his calling).. And of course we always feel closest to our Heavenly Father while in the temple.

Kellie and I being pregnant (mostly me) needed to stop off and get some food before we started the 45 minute journey home.. We ended up at Dee's at about 10:30 PM and were able to enjoy the creatures of the night that ended up at Dee's ... well that late in the night... Interesting folk.

Oak and I totally forgot that we had to make frog eye salad that night as well for his family dinner that we were going to be to the next day. Soo.... Who knew that frog eye salad takes 16 hours to set? Not I..... We ended up going to bed at 1 AM but it was worth it! The salad turned out and was supreme amazingness!

Sunday we had a ton of fun at his parents home with our nieces and nephews... always love those family dinners!

Monday we had a huge get together as well at our home. We played horse shoes, king pin, roasted hot dogs and marsh mellows and truly had such a fun time! Our drive way is still plastered with all the beautiful chalk art that our nieces created.

All in all the weekend was a success and I think we both are still trying to re-cooperate!

SO HERE IT IS!!

Well hello everyone!! Here is my long lost post that I have needed to do for many months now. There is sooo much to update I have no clue where to even start... I guess its like when you scrap book if you are way behind. You start with the most recent and work your way back right? There is no way in the world that I will be able to remember EVERYTHING that has happened but I can assure you that I shall do my best!

Firstly, I'm PREGO! We're having a little boy in October. I'm 6 days away from my half way mark and I'm soooo excited. Well WE'RE so excited! This little guy truly is a blessing and we cannot even wait to meet him. Yes, I do have a little bit of a baby bump. But I'm told that if you were to look at me you wouldn't think anything of it (though I already feel massive).

Here is a picture of our little guy! (That was at 16 weeks so I can't wait to see what he looks like now!)



Its still not real to me. I honestly don't think it really will be until I'm holding him in my arms.

So... The story of finding out what little man was.

(Gotta give some background info first)

Oakly wanted a boy so bad I think he was going to cry. Every second he got he would call "baby" (at the time) HIM and HE and what not. He wouldn't let anyone say he was a girl because he just KNEW that his first child would be a boy. I felt the same way. I always called him... him... and I just always felt that he was a boy. HOWEVER, we did some very thorough old wives tale research... extensive if you will... and everything that we found out was that this little guy had all the signs of being a little girl. I was sooooooo sick in my first trimester... honestly. Any of you women who don't get morning sickness... I'm going to key your car. JK.. But I'm jealous of you. Its the most awful thing in the world. I have never thrown up so much in my entire life... literally. (Thank you Aubs for making me feel better with another old wives tale that if you're super sick, baby is super healthy!) Anywho...... So that pointed to a girl because supposidley you get more sick with little girls.

Next... When we heard his heart beat it was really fast. Number two old wives tale. Faster heart beat = little girl, slower heart beat= little boy.

AND Next... My friend Kellie (who is also having a little boy) looked up my "Oriental Prego Calendar" (I don't something weird like that...) and it said that I was having a girl... Kellie's was right because it told her she was having a little boy... So it HAD to be true ;).

ANNNND Next... Oakly started gaining weight.. (bless him) and that was also a sure sign of little one being a girl according to google (yes we really did waste that much time...)

ANNNNNNND Next..... ALL of Oakly's siblings are Boys... Its been said that if the Daddy has all brothers he will produce all girls....

So needless to say we were out numbered. Not to mention all of Oaks family was SURE baby was a girl.

Regardless we stuck to our guns and continued to believe that we had a little boy on our hands.

A few weeks before the ultra sound I had a dream that everyone brought me little boy things.

The morning of the ultra sound I had a dream that some how Oakly found out what we were having with out me and came rushing into the room with the sonogram saying "It's a boy, it's a boy!!" (weird dream... but it works).

AND WE HAVE A BOY!!! :)

He is getting really big too. Its craziness!

Well seeing as though this blog post took me three days to finish I better get headed. We have a ton of stuff we are going to do today (happy memorial day!).

Love you all!

More to come, I promise!

Coming soon!

There are soooo many things that I need to update... It will take far longer than the 5 minutes I have currently. However, I promise that there will be one soon! If there is anyone still out there!
