Well on Friday my photo's weren't working so I am gonna try again.

Here is a picture of my sister, Austin and my nephews Marcus and Aaron at the beach in Victoria BC on on little weekend Vacation.

I had my first Ultra sound and it was great.  Of course the first thing I asked was "is there twins" and she said no (thank god) LOL.  I am 12 weeks 4 days so 3 months.  It seems like less when you say 12 weeks then 3 months.  I got pictures and it looks like my child is smoking a pipe LOL.  The lady got a picture of the baby waving it was cute.  The baby also sleeps like my son Austin did in my belly it was really weird and neat to see that.  I am low on Iron, but the doctor said it should fix itself now that I know I can take my pills at night because i was getting sick when I took them in the morning.  I have trouble swallowing them so it takes me 10 minutes to take them because I have to chop them into little pieces (pain in the butt).  I  have gained about 8-10 pounds so that is great for me. 

So we are back from are little holiday.  It was really short and I wish it could of lasted longer.  It was really hard to say good bye again.  Austin did really well with the long car ride there and back.  He got some toys from my sister and mother and they were big boy toys, so I have to go threw his old toys and put the baby toys away.  He sure likes the action figures now.  I got some new born baby clothes second hand from my sister so it is getting me feeling like I am pregnant more and more.  I also got some Mat clothes which is good because I cant find any for my size.  So we discovered on this trip that Austin actually likes fruit more then I knew.  They change there taste I guess as the times goes by.  My sister gives her boys bowls of different fruits after there break fast and Austin ate more fruit then I though.  He still doesn't like some of it but thats OK.  So i think My boyfriend and I have the names picked out now, unless another names comes up that we like. 

Girl: Faith Maria (my mother) Clotilde (My grandmother)
Boy: Logan Aristides (my father)

Well I need to catch up on all the laundry, trips really suck when you get back everything needs to be done. 

So Austin has been hugging me and telling me I am his friend.  I think this is so cute, but it kinda bothers me because we have no friends in High River and Austin doesn't have any other kids to play with.  So I was really wanting a girl and now I couldn't care less.  I want a girl because then I would have both but if I have a boy then Austin can have a buddy, a friend to play with.  I hope this weather gets better, I cant go anywhere with all this snow.  I would like to take Austin to the store for  a walk or to a park but it is way to cold and the snow is way to high for the back paths that we have to take to get to the store.  So I am gonna go get my first Ultrasound soon, need to call them for next week because they were all booked  this week.  On Thursday we are gonna go to Victoria BC for a long weekend.  come back on Monday.  It will be nice for Austin to see my family again and his cousins.  Still having troubles with Austin a pooping on the potty, he just does it in his pants and I don't know what to do.  He has no problem peeing, I don't even have to tell him to go he just does.  I do put diapers on him when we are out because he cant hold it in if we are in the car and he still just goes on the little potty, so unless I carry his potty on my back he has to wear a diaper LOL.  Does anyone know the earliest you can find out the sex of the baby?  I was just wondering.   Well I hope all is well and I will talk to you all probably when I get back from Victoria, I will let you all know how much fun we had.

So the due date that we have in Sept 11 so I am gonna make a bad day a good day if I have the baby that day.  I am still waiting for a ultrasound but my doctor said he will schedule it at my next appointment next week.  So no more traveling into Calgary until Thursday next week, thank god.  So my son Austin today did the funniest thing today.  I took him to him eye appointment and it was a really hard thing for him because he had to hold still and keep his chin in the holder and his head against the strap.  The lady was being rude about him not sitting still, but she was told that he was 2 and they don't check children's eyes until they are 3 because it is hard to sit still.  So after that test they want  to do another one that really didn't need to be done but want some extra money from my pocket LOL. Anyways on are way to do this other test I told Austin that he was a good boy and he was doing very well and that I understood that he was just a little boy.  I think I told him that maybe 2 or 3 times.  So when we were getting the second test done, the lady kept telling him to stop moving and he took his face off the machine and said "Hey Lady I am just a little boy".  So she figured that was enough as she walked away laughing.  Boy do I have my hands full with Austin.  Well I am off to bed now, as soon as I am done my before bed snack. LOL.  Hope all is good with you all.
