HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BABE!

Happy Birthday to the hottest guy I know, oh and best hubby and daddy ever!!

Here's a few pics of Ben being... Ben. :)

LOVE YOU!

A little update

Lets start with BEN!

Ben will be 27 next week, he is getting old! He is still working two jobs, Zrii (which he hates) and Paid Call at Unified Fire Authority (which he LOVES). They seem to balance each other out. He is also still playing indoor soccer every Tuesday night with some of his teammates from high school. Chloie and I love to go and watch him run around and yell at people (he is a COMPLETELY different person when he is playing soccer) its pretty entertaining. 

Me...

I'm still getting used to be a "stay at home mommy" its different. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to spend 24/7 with Chloie and being able to be home with Ben rather then running out the door the second he walks in. It's actually been really good for our marriage, even with him being gone a LOT Ben and I have spent more time together in the past two months then we have been able to since we got married. It's been nice to kind of get to know each other again. :)

Pregnancy wise...  I'm measuring big and caring up front but I'm just starting to show, and am still wearing my regular clothes (figure that out) ha. I now weigh what I weighed when I found out I was pregnant with Chloie. I'm still working out at least 3 times a week (I just can't run anymore due to the fact that I will either pee my pants or start having contractions.. neither of which are fun... funny maybe, but not fun...) and my arms go numb occasionally... gotta love being pregnant right?

Chloie!

Chloie is currently sleeping on the floor next to my chair. Seriously this girl can sleep ANYWHERE! :)

Chloie has started talking even more lately. She says :

- Whats up?

-grandma

-who is this (that)?

-whats this?

-Yes (which sounds more like yass)

-mommy (which is a new thing oddly enough)

- I don't want to

- I want it

- mine

- Yours?

-why?

- lets go!

-See you, bye!

-please (pwease!)

- Thank you

-welcome

 - I'm cute

- uh oh I toot (or I burp)

-eyes, nose, ears, lips (wips), arm

-shoes (new shoes)

- baby, SHHH!
-A,B,C,D,E and she counts to 5.

 and a whole bunch of other things, this girl is just non-stop talk! 

She also signs please, thank you, more, food, cereal, cracker, pretty, tree, milk, and all done!

She is just getting so smart! Its so fun to watch her learn new things! 

We are still working on potty training, she has gone on her big girl potty 3 times. So hopefully before her little sister is here she will be potty trained... HOPEFULLY!

Baby girl #2

we are now at 26weeks (14 left, YIKES), She kicks constantly all day but barely moves at night. She LOVES to put her feet in my ribs (just like her big sister did). One of her kidneys is slightly enlarged so we will have a follow up ultra sound at 32 weeks, just to make sure it's getting better, which it should. The Dr said he would like her to be here on the 20th of December, if she doesn't come earlier on her own (like Chloie did). She is measuring almost the exact same as her big sister did, which leads my Dr to think she will come early too. (which I am more then okay with as long as she is healthy)

Andrus Baby Girl Number 2.

Yep, We are having another GIRL, due Decemeber 23rd, 2012. We found out she's a she on August 7th, 2012 and Ben said he was perfectly fine with having another girl because honestly he just wouldn't know what to do with a baby boy. (He is the only boy with 3 sisters, and we have 4 nieces. 2 nephews who we rarely, if ever, see :(  so he is use to having girls around.)

Chloie is excited, every time we ask her about her baby sister she lifts up her shirt and points to her belly, then attempts to show everyone mine. It's great. I am so thankful to have our sweet, mild mannered little Chloie. It makes the idea of having another one much less scary. She will make a great big sister, she LOVES her new twin cousins (Hadlee and Rylee) and would love to just pick them up and snuggle them all the time (if we would let her).Since we have been talking to her more and more lately about babies every thing becomes a baby, from Shampoo bottles in the tub, to rolled up blankes, to my oven mit. She hold them and rocks them and "SHHH's" me. It's pretty comical.  She also loves to kiss my belly, pat it and say "baby", always with a big grin on her face.


Ben is... well he's Ben, a man of few words... He's excited and is ready for another little Chloie. It's hard for us to picture this baby looking anything different then our Chloie. :)


As for me... Well.... I have been in denial a bit for the last 5 months, and I admittedly still am. sort of. Which is a LOT of the reason we haven't told anyone up til now... I LOVE the idea of having another baby, I hate the idea of being pregnant. I don't like to gain weight and have it pointed out constantly, it's not an easy thing for me to handle. BUT luckily This pregnancy has been super easy so far, which I am grateful for, I haven't been sick, all my clothes still fit, and I have not been tiered, nor have I gained weight (yet), I'm sure that will change soon seeing as I am 22 weeks pregnant now... Yikes more then half way done already... I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going by, I think having Chloie to chase around and play with everyday makes the days pass quicker. :) I am very excited to be a mommy to two little girlies and I can't wait til she is here. I'm more anxious then ever waiting for Christmas to come!


Anyways, enough of my ramblings... here's an ultrasound pic of Baby #2!! (I can't get it to rotate... sorry)
