With all the ucky morning sickness I have had to endure, I canceled our christmas photos and we are not sending out family pictures this year. I have not felt well enough and I kept on pushing it back, I decided I just didn't care this year. I also only just sent out the xmas card and present to my dad and debi today so it obviously won't get there in time. Atleast I'm sending it!
This is the first year me and Jaw are hosting Christmas. Usually his mom hosts Christmas morning, but we felt that she needed a break...she has had a really stressful year and she hurt her back and needs to have a very crazy back surgery soon, so we thought, we will take some of the stress off her shoulders.
Also, My neice, Sophia Noel Gutierrez was born 2 days ago. She is just soooo adorable and we will be going to see her the day after Christmas when her and mommy are home from the hospital. I cannot wait to hold her. I just love newborns. They are just so beautiful and small, and I actually love that stage. I actually have my other niece who will be born soon...and her name is going to be Sophia too. Isn't that crazy...but I also learned that Sophia is the number one girls name of 2011 so...i guess it makes sense i have two nieces born months within eachother with the same name. As for names with are liking....if it a boy....a name we both really like is Jaxson and Luke.....(another popular name but it was also one of our choices 4 years ago when we thought Savannah was a boy.) For a girl....i like a lot of typical old school girlie names...I haven't really discussed them with Jaw but I have with Savannah (LoL) and we like Breann, Aubrey, Britney, Juliet....actually. I like a lot of girls names. girls names are so easy.
Just thinking about having a newborn in our house in 7 months, is making me excited and panicked. I am going to have to buy a double stroller and anyone have some advice on a good one? Emmett is still in a stroller and his therapists believe that while me may be able to stand by july and take some steps...he will not be walking. Right now, he is always in a stroller...I rarely carry him...except to the car. Even though he is only 20 pounds...he is long and he doesn't hang on or wrap his legs, and he tends to arch his back. He is still like a 6 month old in that area, he is total dead weight when you are carrying him. If there is anything I am concerned about having another child it will be the issue of Emmett still not walking. But hey...people with twins do it so I can too right. eh.....?

Morning Sickness
So this time around I am suffering big time from morning sickness, which I would like to call all day sickness. All day! With Vannah it was in the morning and Mexican food grossed me out. With Emmett, it was just the smell of bacon or meat cooking.
But this....this is a whole new level of not feeling good. I am grossed out by everything. Something that is good one day, will be the devil the next day. I feel nauseous all day, I feel hungry all day, but it is hell to get something down. Only 3 more weeks until the first trimester is over...and hopefully, it will all go away like it did with my past two pregnancies. *crossing fingers*
Almost Everyone has been really supportive upon finding out we were pregnant. Actually, someone in our family is upset about our pregnancy, thinks we shouldn't have another baby and hasn't congratulated neither me or my husband. It is really sad becuz I hate that they speak their opinion to other people, but not to us. And if you are thinking that this person is just concerned over my health....it is more than that. She has something against us and I'm not sure what. For us...the decision to keep this baby was a carefully thought out decision. We know what is best for us, and we know the right steps to take and I have excellent doctors who checked me out thoroughly and ultimately, it is God who has decided to give us another child.
I understand I made it very clear that we were not going to have another child. I never said I didn't want another child. This baby was not planned. But me and Jaw strongly believe it is God who intervened becuz our family is not yet complete. I'm just pregnant and I feel that with this child, our family will be complete and I will be complete.
I have no problem expressing these feelings and sharing my life...it shocks me that a family member doesn't have the "balls" to talk to me and Johnny about this.
I think what really bugs me is that she goes and talks about us and has all these "issues" with us but never actually comes to us to address them. I don't get it.
But don't worry...I ain't stressing over her. I am excited cuz my mom will be up in less than a week and I have been saving Cafe Rio for her. Since nowadays when I do eat something that sounds good....it might never sound good again....so Cafe Rio sounds amazing, but I'm waiting! :) Such a considerate pregnant person I am LOL!

BIG NEWS!
Okay...so, with this whole news thing...I have been good and wanted to wait a little longer but my husband just couldn't hold it in any longer and went and announced it on Facebook, so then of course, I had to also but now I need to put it on my blog.
We are indeed pregnant! We are 9 weeks along and found out at Thanksgiving time. I know I have explained on this blog that we were not going to have more children. BUT...we have been doing all the right things and we still got pregnant, so we took this as a gift from God and that we are to have one more child. I have been checked out by my heart doctor and we actually believe this will be our stress free pregnancy! LOL!
We are so excited and we of course are hoping for a boy because we do think it will be good for Emmett to have a brother, but we really don't care, girl or boy, we are happy! So yah...i'm pregnant along with a bunch of other women right now! Right on...2012 babies!

no original posts
Sorry for the lack of original posts by me. I will be posting more regularly about the going ons and all that. But I found this site and wanted to post the link because when Savannah was born, I suffered from post-partum depression.
I didn't know at the time that I was depressed. Looking back, i went to the doctor and explained what was going on. But she never diagnosed me as having PPD. I almost felt like this doctor should have known the signs and helped me. She gave me prescriptions that weren't right but i never even filled them so i guess it never mattered. I was in denial and suffering in secret.
I wish I would have faced that what was going on in my life was more than just" baby blues". It also didn't help that I had unsupportive people in my life at that time. When I went to this site, there is an article describing the Six Stages of PPD, and she adds on a 7th stage. This is the exact stages I went through and so many other women have too.
I did not have PPD with Emmett and I look at Emmett as my little saving grace because, even with all the stress of that pregnancy and all the health issues and surprises we had with him, I was able to enjoy his infancy. I believe having Emmett helped me get through my depression I experienced. I want to put this link up here because I think it is a great resource for new moms to go to if they are feeling not right. And not just "new" moms, but anytime you have a baby because you never know how things might be when the pregnancy is over and your life has officially changed.
So here is the link: Love in The Time of Postpartum Depression

Stupid internet
My internet is acting up and I know this sounds crazy but ever since we moved our computer to a different area of the room, the internet has been slow and just stupid! I thought we might have had a virus so i did a scan and a search and destroy scan but nothing has come up. Could it be the location? I just might have to move the computer again.
I'm having a hard time with eating these days. All i want to eat is soup. I think after Thanksgiving, and eating all that heavy food has like ruined me. All I want to do is eat very light. I guess that is a good thing though right. Getting healthy in the middle of the holiday?....heck yes.
As for Christmas, we have decorated and tomorow we are going to take the kids to see Santa. We don't usually do it this early in the month but there are so many awesome Christmas things going on this year, we only have a limited time that Johnny will be off work before Christmas, so we have to get everything in. :) Maybe we will take them again closer to christmas but gonna go tomorow anyway. :)
