Lots of stuff has happened....

First off, we moved into a sweet apartment. It is really nice to finally have our own place again. let me just tell you some of the awesome features our apartment home offers. We have a gorgeous brick fireplace, a vaulted ceiling, washer and dryer IN our apartment (woot) AND the best part, 2 bathrooms, one being IN our master bedroom. No more stumbling around the house in the dark for those late night pee sessions. The apartment community offers 2 pools, an indoor jacuzzi, a work out room, clubhouse, tennis court, playground and basketball court, as well as being a gated community to keep the ruffians out. So I am in love with my apartment. It is a sweet apartment you might say. (that was for you Mike, if you ever come back *cries*)

So last post I mentioned I was going to the doctor soon. I did go, and there they found a ton of protein in my urine. Giant alarms started going off in my head. I had major kidney problems when I was pregnant with Hollie. Hopefully this is nothing, but we won't really know until my labwork comes back and I go into my next appt. Speaking of appointments, I have an ultrasound today at 11:20 am. If baby cooperates then we will know the sex by early afternoon-YAY! Let's just hope this baby is as immodest as my other two spread eagled babes. I didn't really want to find out the sex at first. I thought, how cool would it be to not know, and then wait until that moment when the baby is born to hear the doctor announce "It's a ____!!!" Chunk disagrees with me, he really wants to know. So instead of having the ultrasound tech just tell him and risk finding out later because chunky poo prolbably can't keep a secret, I decided to find out also. On the same note, my little prophetess child Hollie has declared it's a girl, so her accuracy is on the line big time today. She has successfully predicted 3 people's prenancies since October. She told me and my sister we were pregnant way before we even knew, and she also told me my friend Karin was pregnant, and a month or so later- she was. So my gifted little oracle claims it's a girl, but I think thats only because she really wants a sister. She's just in denial.

I have been staying home for about a week now. I haven't made an official decision to leave t-mobile just yet, but let me tell you it has been so so so so so much fun staying home with my kids. T-mobile is going to let me take an extended leave if I choose, so I can come back later. To be honest, I don't know if I want to go back, being pregnant is tiring and there is so much I want to do with my life as a mother. The next week will be crucial in my deciding what to do. I really love my job there, it is fun anf fastpaced and not to mention they are way overpaying me, but something inside tells me I am missing out on so much with Hollie and Charley, and it's something I can never get back. I feel really good about staying home, and really bad about leaving my job, so I'm stuck right now, but I will definitely pray about it and hopefully get an answer I can live with soon.

I mentioned in my chatterbox that I have cable internet now. So welcome back to me! I will be a full time blogger again very shortly so stay tuned!!!

I have been very AWOL from the online community for the last little while. I dunno what the deal is, but almost every day when I get home from work, I do something with the kids, eat dinner, and then normally when they go to bed I would hop on the computer and play,. but lately after they go to bed, *I* go to bed too. I have been going to sleep around 9 pm or so. I have been so tired and I never feel like I can get enough sleep. At work they changed my shift too, so starting February 1st I will be working from 4pm-12:45 am. I dunno how I am gonna pull off the switch over to that one, I have been getting up at 5 am for the last 2 months. I can do it though, I am woman hear me roar. *rawr*

Last night we all went to a wedding ring ceremony and reception for Chunk's buddy Will (YAY Will!!) It was the most gorgeous and fancy reception I have ever been to. The food was so good, but some things I couldn't even pronounce so I didn't try them. Our families favorites were twice baked potatoes and spicy beef empanadas with salsa. Oi vey, they were bomb. We couldn't stay for the dessert bar and wedding cake though, because it was way out in the boonies of Golden Colorado and we had about a 2 hour drive to get home. We stayed till around 7 ish and then headed home. We had such a good time. We got to see all of Chunk's family there too, even his reclusive brother who has seemingly started growing a goatee.

I am 15 weeks pregnant today. My belly is getting big already and it is fairly obvious I am pregnant to the outside world. I wonder all the time why I am so big. With my other two I never got this huge, this fast. I always worry, is it twins?? Am I more pregnant than I think I am?? Do I have polyhydramnios like my Mom?? I have a doctors appointment next Thursday, so I can ask all of these questions. My itching has become even more severe too, I barely have any skin left. My sciatica is gone though, on the plus side.

The children have been so good lately that I don't really have any complaints about them this time. Hollie is obsessed with "mommy's baby" and she always wants to touch my belly and even sometimes kiss it. Charley is oblivious to whats going on half the time, but he is happy in his little mischevious boy world. He got a VERY bad haircut the other day-NEVER go to GreatClips in Colorado Springs:) I took lots of pics on my camera phone, I just need to email them to my computer so I can put the botched job on here for all to see. The kid is so cute that even a botched hair cut looks great on him.

We move into our apartment in 6 days. Today we are going to church in our new ward to scope things out. We got a 2 bedroom apartment with TWO baths (wooooooo) and it has a fireplace and vaulted ceilings. We are very excited. We need to recruit some people from the new ward to help us move, since Carie and I are pregnant now and we can't do all the manly work-hehe.

I don't have anything else to report at this time, but I will think on iit and get back to all of my adoring blog fans.
