Raising Rubens

So much to do, so much to do! We're getting ready for a baby next JUNE!

I am three months pregnant (12 wks) and the baby is expected June 25th! I've always wanted a June baby :) So far, it's going well. This pregnancy has been night and day compared to Emery's pregnancy. I still have really sick days and I have been plagued by fatigue constantly but I am still able to do most things like normal. I have been really lucky in having cravings for salad and healthy stuff...what the heck! Of course, ice cream is always on the menu. Anything cold is actually wonderful for my nausea- ice water, sniffing peppermint (thanks doterra!) , ice cream and the frigid outdoor air have helped a ton.

Im still seeing my OB in St. George and will probably see them one more time for my gender check next month. Their office likes to check for fun at 15/16 weeks which means I'll find out right after new years. Yay for not having to wait till 20 weeks!

I talk to emery everyday about having a new baby. I'm not sure if she understands but she recognizes what a baby looks like and will kiss my tummy when I ask her to kiss the "baby". She's also been really sweet to me lately. Whenever I can't hold my food down, Adam rubs my back as I do my business. I guess Emery notices becuase the last two weeks as I am holding my hair back and leaning over, I feel this little hand rub my lower back each time. What a cutie! She'll be a great big sister for sure.

Recently, we moved in with my in-laws temporarily. I have to admit, it's been really nice waking up feeling miserable and having grandma happily volunteer to watch Emery. A couple days I let her roam around while I slept, she ended up smearing half a jar of pertroleum jelly on her clothes and got a hold of my makeup and smeared that. Grandmas are life savers.

So yup, I've been around family a lot lately because of the holidays but have made no attempt for any socializing. I'd just rather sit in my sweats and eat ice cream and salad (seperately) and watch documentaries on Netflix. I'll do my best for for updates on the baby bump. We're excited to be a family of four!

Happy Emery. 

Sad Emery- Can you see what's in the washer? I have to secretly wash Coco because she doesn't like

 to be apart from her but she walked by and noticed her spinning in this monster machine trying to eat her Coco.
