My little man turned 4!

Four years ago, on November18, 2005, I went to the hospital to be induced because the Dr feared my little baby would be to big if I waited for him to come naturally.  After 20 hours of labor, I was rushed in for an emergency c-section, and on November 19 at 2:24pm out came my beautiful baby boy Jackson James. It's hard to believe it has been 4 years!  We celebrated his birthday yesterday, and will be having a party with all are family on the 24th at Chuck E. Cheese.

 

 

Happy 4th Birthday Jackson!

OH BOY, OH BOY!!

Here we go again! Looks like will be welcoming another boy into the Forsyth Fam.  I should have expected it, but with this pregnancy being so much different than the previous two, I thought for sure we were expecting a girl this time around. I will admit, I was little disappointed and have kind of been in a funny mood all day today. I was so excited to go out and pick out baby girl outfits, and get started on a girl quilt, and decorate a girl nursery, but that's not going to be happening any time soon.  There is always a chance the ultrasound was wrong, but this DEFINITELY is a boy!  I know I probably don't seem it, but I am very happy to be bringing another boy into our family, and obviously there is a reason God wanted us to have him.  So I am thankful for that. Everything seemed to look fine in the ultrasound, although, the ultrasound tech (or whatever she is) was having a hard time getting a good image of his heart because he was moving around so much. There was a moment when she was examining it, and got this really weird look on her face, like something wasn't right.  After the ultrasound, Scott asked if everything looked good, and she said "I am not allowed to diagnose anything".  So now I am really worried that there is something wrong with him. And I have to wait till I see my Dr. again till I can know anything. I may just be being paranoid, Scott thinks I am, but seriously...if you work has an ultrasound tech, be professional about your job, and please don't make weird faces while your examining someone's unborn child!! I really do hope everything is fine, but I know I am going to be worrying, and thinking about it till I know for sure. Ugh. 

Boy or Girl?

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!! We have are ultrasound at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and I am so nervous/ excited to find out what it is growing inside of me.  If it's another boy, it's going to take some serious mental preparation to have a third running around,they are just so crazy!! :) And if it's a girl, well, that means some serious shopping, which I would LOVE to do! But no matter what it is, I am going to be totally excited! I just want to know...NOW!!:) Check back tomorrow for the big news!

Happy Halloween!

 The boys had so much fun on Halloween and are very much enjoying all the candy they got, although I am not letting them eat as much as they'd like too.  They got to go Trick or Treating with their cousins, McKayla & Beckham.  Jackson & Josh were Transformers,  McKayla was a butterfly, and Beckham was a gnome.  They were all so darn cute!!

I Love Fall!

 On Saturday Scott & I took the boys to the pumpkin patch at Country Mercantile, and to be honest, it wasn't as cool as I thought it would be. There was some ride, and bounce houses along with the corn maze and haystack pyrimad thing which would have been really fun, but after paying $21.00 just to get in, we didn't bring enough cash to pay for any of the ride.  It was like $4 just to ride the stupid carousel! So, Jackson was rather disappointed that he didn't get to go on the rides.  He did have fun in the maze, and climbing the haystack though, and Josh loved the animals. And the weather was perfect!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

So far, we have been pretty busy this fall.  Scott is one of the coaches for the undefeated Connell Eagles. He has really been enjoying it, but with that and working 6 days a week he isn't around too much.  Meanwhile, I've been busy working on the house, repainting the inside (not fun with 2 kids running around) and doing yard work.  Last week we got underground sprinklers put in and tomorrow the sod is coming for our backyard.  I am so excited to finally have a nice yard!  There is still so much work to be done though.  Hopefully we can finish while the weather is still nice.   Does this Fall weather make anyone else feel like they can go out and run a marathon? :) I love it!!

14 1/2 weeks

I went to my Drs. appointment today expecting just to be able to hear my baby's heartbeat and find out I get to have a free 3D ultrasound too. This is the 2nd free ultrasound I have gotten so far. The office that I am at is in the process of purchasing new equipment, and lucky me, I've been able to help them test it out! The baby is still really small, being just 14 1/2 weeks, and so the images aren't as good as some 3D ultrasound pictures I've seen, but they still look pretty good. I tried to scan them but my scanner isn't working:(. It was really fun to see the baby, it was snuggled up with it's head buried into my placenta like it was using it as a big pillow. Every once in a while it would turn its head towards us. I think it was afraid. :)
I'm still wondering, if it hadn't been hiding, if it would have been too soon to tell the sex? That would have been fun, but I only have one more month to wait! What do you think it will be?
Other pregnancy news, the morning sickness is gone:) and I am feeling great! I have finally been able to start working out, and while I am extremely sore from an almost 2 month break of not lifting, it feels so good. My goal this pregnancy is to gain under 30lbs. I don't know if that's a realistic goal, since I tend to put on a lot of wt, but I am going to try my hardest! At 14 1/2 weeks I still weight less than I did with Josh at my 10 week, so that's good. :)

Las Vegas

Pics from my Las Vegas vacation. I had so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again! If anyone wants to train with me after I get this baby out, I'd love to have a training partner!:)
