Making Room!!!

Clifford's mom and sisters are so awesome! They helped me go through all of mine and Clifford's stuff and Corban's stuff and we rearranged Corban's room to make room for Brighton! She was so nice and bought us a porta crib and some little drawers for her too! I am so exited! She also bought us a pink car seat for her which we still have in the box in the closet since we still have a while! We were thinking of moving into a 3 bedroom for more room but we decided that it would be cheaper and less of a hassle if we just stay here! So we made room and it turned out pretty good for the little space we have! I have one awesome mother in law!

Corban and soon to be Brighton's room too!
Here is Brighton's little corner of the room!

If you look closely at the blanket it says Brighton on it! Marsha had it made! I love it! I hope she's really a girl!

Quite the Scare!!!

So I was excited that Clifford's mom and sister's came to visit because the hotel they stay at is right across the street from our apartments! It has a heated indoor swimming pool and a spa which meant we got to take Corban swimming! Yay! This is such a rare occasion here so every chance I get I jump right on it! So we took him swimming 2 of the nights they were here! Well I don't know how many of you are aware that pregnant women are not supposed to sit in hot tubs! I didn't know until this lady told me that was in there with me the 2nd night! I am a sucker for hot tubs too dang it! I love them! I was kinda freakin out because the 1st night I sat in it for about 45 minutes and the 2nd night was about a half hour! Well since she told me that I looked at the sign and sure enough it says "if you're pregnant consult a physician before sitting in hot tub!" So the next day I called my doctor and talked to a nurse and I asked her about sitting in hot tubs and her immediate response was "NO" "DO NOT SIT IN THEM!" So then I told her I already did and how long I sat in it and how hot the water was and that I was nervous about the baby! She told me to come in so we could make sure everything was ok and that the heart was still beating! So I immediately went in and it took a couple minutes to find it but sure enough we heard it! Yay! The doctor told me if I was earlier in pregnancy it could cause spinal problems but since her spine is already developed I shouldn't have to worry! Well Good! That made me feel so much better! So now I won't get in a hot tub uless I am not pregnant! I am officially half way done! Yay! I do have to mention how much Corban loves to swim! He holds his breath and goes under water all by himself! It's so funny! Here is a pic of him and his Aunt Heather in the hot tub!

EASTER!!!

We had a great Easter weekend! Clifford's mom and sister's came to visit us so it was nice to have some company and have something to do for a change! They got here Saturday night so we decided to color easter eggs! It was Corban's first time doing it and he loved every minute of it! It was so much fun to watch him do it! It got a little messy but it was worth it! He did all 11 of them by himself! He cracked one of them...typical for a 2 1/2 year old right! haha Here are some pics of him going to town!

He noticed his hands were dirty so he was showing us! haha

He is concentrating really hard!

Mommy is actually letting me make a mess! This is awesome!
I just had to throw this pic in here! I dont know how to rotate it! Sorry! And yes I lightened my hair! The black was just too much for me and when it grew out it looked like I was going bald because my natural color is so much lighter! Also we can't really afford for me to keep dying it so I figured I would go down to the beauty college and have them do it for me! Well it took 3 people to work on my hair and 5 hours for them to do it! Yes I said 5 hours! Forever! I was so glad to have the black out but when I was finished my hair was bright blonde and orange! Awww So the next day I had my friend from AZ who does hair dye it more and this is how it looks now! Not bad but we'll see when it grows out if you can see my roots or not! All I have to say is I will never dye my hair black again!

This is the finished product! Corban did all of these eggs himself! I must say he did a dang good job! I don't think I could've done that good!

Corban is on a mission to find the easter eggs! We were outside for probably about 10 minutes then we got too cold so we had to go inside! It was fun while it lasted! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

ITS A.................

So we went to the doctor today just for a regular visit! We weren't supposed to find out what it was because the doctors office I go to they say not till you're at least 22-28 weeks! What the crap is that? I found out with Corban at 18 weeks! I didn't want to wait that long! haha So the doctor was in the room and I asked him if we could find out and he was like"well it's a little early" but then he left the room and when he came back in they moved us to the ultrasound room! We found out its a GIRL! He just did a quick peek so he said it wasn't 100% sure but he was pretty positive it is! Next time we will get a better ultrasound and make sure! haha Her name will be Brighton Mills! I'll put some pics up of my belly soon!

NOT Moving!!!!

So I just thought I would let everyone know we are not moving back in September now! Clifford went on this amazing travel study with his art class to California and went on several different tours to different companies like Dreamworks, Sony, and art museums! He came home and realized how much he loves art and wants to pursue his career in art! He said if he doesn't at least try then he would hate himself for the rest of his life! So he decided to stay 2 extra semesters instead of graduating in July he won't graduate until next April and take a few more art classes to help him improve and so he can develop a portfolio! He will then apply at a bunch of places including Dreamworks and hopefully land a sweet job doing what he loves! I was bummed at first because I had my mind set on moving and getting out of Rexburg! I don't know if I can handle another winter here! haha I really am ok with it now because all I want is for my husband to be happy! We both feel good about the decision he has made which is a good sign that it's the right decision! I am kinda glad that I won't have to stress about moving 3 weeks after I have the baby now! What a relief! So I am sorry for getting all of your hopes up! haha Hopefully we will be coming to visit in April! That would be the last time we can probably come before the baby comes!
