Mothers Day & New Camping Toy

This mothers day we had a BBQ with Brody's family on Saturday before the jazz game and it was so fun having everyone over to the house. The food was great and the best part was the women didn't have to cook it. On Sunday Brody, Lexi and I went to lunch at Wingers and then did a little shopping. Later that evening we went to my Mom's house and had dessert with the family. Brody and Lexi spoiled me yet again this Mothers Day. Brody knew I wanted something that would make it so I could play my i-pod through my car stereo and instead of keeping it simple he got me this.....

Now I will be able to make phone calls through my stereo, listen to my i-pod and watch DVDs. I am really excited for him to install it in the jeep. We also got a new camping toy for the expanding family. It is called a teryx and it will be able to hold all 4 of us while we go riding in the mountains. It has seat belts for car seats and a roll cage just in case. For the grandma's that are reading this... don't worry we will not be taking a brand new baby in the teryx and I will not be doing any extreme riding in this while pregnant either. Now we need to get the camp trailer out and head up into the Uintas for some camping!

Dentist Check Up

It was time again for all of us to go in for our dentist check up. Lexi and I are cavity free but Brody had 1. Lexi let Dr. Ashton check her this time and then she got to help Grandma Michelle clean Daddy's teeth.

Trip to Vegas!

We went to Las Vegas mid April and had a lot of fun. It was nice to get away and relax. Brody and his friend Ben spent a lot of time at the race track to watch the NHRA Drag races (this was the whole reason for the trip) and I spent a lot of time with my sister Jackie.

She took me to lots of different malls in hopes to find some great maternity clothes. Unfortunately I left Vegas with only 1 new pair of pants. On the last day of the races I decided to go with Brody and Ben. It was much better then I thought it was going to be. I had only seen them on TV before but it was cool to see it in person and to feel your entire body shake as the cars passed you by. FYI... the races will get you very dirty. I had little black spots all over me which were tiny pieces of tires. Before they would race each other the cars would do a little burn out and the tires get so hot they melt. I was glad I got to go with Brody and see what they were all about. His uncle Mike and aunt Tracie had also gone down for the races and we got to spend time with them at the track as well.

Boy or Girl???

Last week I went into the doctors office for my routine check up and while I was there I asked the doctor to take a quick peek to see if he can tell me the gender of the baby. I was going to Las Vegas and I wanted to do shopping for the new baby so I needed to know the gender. The doctor was unable to determine whether it was a boy or a girl because the baby had their legs crossed but he still gave me his opinion and he said he was leaning more towards a girl. When I got back to work I was not exactly thrilled with just a guess so my friend Steffany took me to Fetal Photo on our lunch break. I thought it would be fun to surprise Brody so I went without him.

When they started the ultrasound at Fetal Photo the baby still had their legs crossed so they took lots of pictures and had me lay on my side for a few minutes to get the baby to move. Once the baby moved they were able to determine that I was having another girl. I was shocked for awhile because I was so sure I was having a boy.

We are so excited to have another girl and we are trying to agree on a name. I love the name Haislie Rae Harris but Brody hates the name Haislie. What do you think? Good or bad leave me a comment.

Heart Rate at 158.

Baby Update

I went into the doctors on Tuesday and the baby's heart rate was between 145 and 150. The doctor said everything was going great and we scheduled our appointment to find out what we are having. We are going in for the ultra sound on April 20th at 9 AM. I can't wait to find out if Lexi is having a baby brother or baby sister!

Baby On The Way...

As most of you know we are expecting our second baby in the second week of September. We went into the doctor on Tuesday and everything looks great. We were able to get an ultrasound done and the doctor gave us the above picture of the new baby. We are all so excited and can't wait for September to be here. Lexi insists that it is a baby girl but we won't know for sure until April what the gender is. I will keep everyone posted as the baby grows and grows.

Trying to Catch Up

I have been really bad about blogging for the past 3 or 4 months so I am trying to catch up on some of our favorite things that occurred in the last little while. I will be updating with pictures of the new finished room in the basement soon.
