Is it a boy?!

Ok, so I know that tests are not always accurate until you get your ultrasound done however, one of the girls at Wills work printed some old wives tales off the internet for us. She swore by the ring test one. You take your wedding ring, tie it to a string and hold it over your belly. If it swings back and forth, it means you are having a girl. If it starts to swing in a circle, it is a boy. So we tried it and it started to swing back and forth for a second but then swung in a circle for the next minute, woo hoo. Then there was the key test. You drop a house key, or any key, on the floor and quickly pick it up. The tale says if you pick it up by the big round top, it is a boy, if you pick it up by the skinny long part, it is a girl and if you pick it up in the middle, then you are having twins. Well, we tried and again, it says we should be having a boy. I know these are not accurate but it gets me pretty excited!!!!!!

Monkey See, Monkey Do

Cassidy has officially rubbed off on Kendall. Kendall is walking around this afternoon with a pen and paper taking orders like a waitress. She comes up to you and says "eat" and waits for you to say what you want while she writes it down. Cassidy does this from time to time and obviously Kendall finds it fun now :)

Overwhelmed

Wow, I went to a meeting today so I could get started on homeschooling.......I think I almost had a panic attack!!!!!! I really don't know if I am capable of doing this along with other things we have going on. But if I don't, she gets put into a school district I hate, they have been horrible!!!!! I really don't know what to do but I think I would have a mental meltdown if I did homeschooling!!!!!!! Help!!!!!

New Due Date

Not really any earlier than we had before, however, my new due date is March 26, 2009. If the baby comes early and is born on the 23rd of March, it will share the same birthday with my great grandpa!!!!!! I was born on my great grandmas birthday and Kendall was born on Uncle Emets, pretty cool. Cassidy was only one day away from a family friend but she has her own unique day because of it I guess :)

Hypnobirthing?

Since finding out we were pregnant again, I was remembering a conversation I had at one of our friends BBQ's, one of he women there told me of how when she had her second, she did a thing called hypnobirthing and it was the best experience of her life. She said it was relatively pain-free and just a beautiful experience. I am a little skeptical and don't know much about it so now I am starting to research it. Has anyone else heard about it? It just seems nice to be able to have a natural labor relatively pain-free. I had a natural labor with Kendall however I don't think I would call it any kind of pain free. It wasn't too bad but not pleasant, hahaha. So, I guess I will continue to research and hopefully if anyone knows about it, can give me some input.

A New Addition!!!

Ok, if you haven't found out yet, we are having another baby!!!!!!! As of right now the due date is March 28, 2009. I am so excited and cannot wait to meet our newest little one, I already an anxious to hold and cuddle it!!!! And hopefully it is a boy, we could use another boy around here :)

RIP Randy Pausch

Ok, so this is an actual death, not a fish :) Today Randy Pausch died, I didn't know him of course but he was amazing from what I have read and seen of him. If you don't know of him or heard his speeches, you should. He was told that he had terminal pancreatic cancer and only had months to live. In hearing that news, he wrote a speech called 'The Last Lecture', mainly for his 3 children he would leave behind, but for everyone else as well. It was just filled with tons of hope and things that were so positive. I don't think I have ever had as many insights in my life as he has and he had them on his death bed. I hope that one day I can be just as great as he was if I am ever hit with the news I may not live. I also feel so bad for his kids, losing a daddy is so horrible!!!!
