So Excited!

1 week till we find out if Baby Griz is a Boy or Girl!

Also, we have been feeling the baby move...not a lot, and its not the same feeling other women have discribed to me...its like poking rather than butterflies. I think women feel this and think its gas, but I know this isnt gas. Matthew even felt it...he was so excited. We love our baby!

Of course, I cant remember what I last posted, so I don't know how out dated this is, but...here is how things are now.

I am 4 months pregnant now, and finally able to enjoy it for the most part. The morning sickness and taken a flying leap and the bloating isn't so extreme. Still a little discomfort in the evenings and rarely feeling yucky...but I will take yucky and discomfort over being sick all the time any day. LOL.

Our last appointment, the doctor said that he can sometimes tell the gender at 14 weeks...I was about 15 weeks along, so we gave it a go. We think its a girl. I feel like its a little girl too. Either way, our baby is so playful and precious. It was moving around in there and playing with the umbilical cord. The cord was wrapped loosely around the baby, but being so early in the pregnancy it isn't anything too serious to worry about, but we will keep an eye on it and make sure that it isn't still looped around the baby next visit. Our next visit will be December 7th and we will confirm weather our baby Griz is a boy or girl. I don't care what it is as long as its healthy. If its a boy, we have settled on the name Tyler Kole Griswold, and if its a girl her name will be Kylie Paige Griswold. Both are beautiful names for our beautiful little one. I'm so excited. I was going through my baby book and thinking about how I will be logging all the things our baby does, curious about how similar and how different we will be. Its crazy awesome to think that I'm going to be mommy and Matthew will be daddy. I love it.

Our sweet pea has so much love surrounding it already...all the grandparents cant wait to get their loving arms around him or her and spoil it rotten. LOL. I'm just so thrilled that our baby gets to meet both sets of grandparents. Sadly, I didn't get to meet my grandpa Cutler. He passed away a year before I was born. He always wanted a little girl named Lisa, and my grandma's middle name was Jean, so that's how I became Lisa Jean. I'm the only girl born into the Cutler family...I was very spoiled by that side of the family, and from what I hear my grandpa would have spoiled me 10x worse if he lived to see me grow. I found out last weekend that my sister in law's grandma's name was Ima Jean also...just like my grandma...and it was her dads mom too. Weird coincidence...but neat too.

Its amazing how differently you think when your about to have a child of your own. Family becomes the most important thing to you...time is everything, it passes you by so quickly that you have to appreciate every moment you have...money isn't everything. I love our unborn child and we will do the best we can to raise him or her to be the best he or she can be. Its an incredible joy to know that we are giving someone a life...a chance to live, learn, and love.

What's New

Okay, seriously, I was so hoping that the morning sickness would go away when I reached the second trimester. Now, although it isn't as bad as it was a month ago, its still here. I want my energy back, and I miss just being able to eat what I want. I still get freakishly bloated and uncomfortable in the evenings. The mornings I'm still finding myself throwing up on occasion. Last night was miserable. Ugh! I cant wait till May and have a healthy baby boy or girl. I don't like being pregnant, but I love the outcome. I am showing...kinda looks like a beer gut right now, lol, but its cute cause we know its just the baby getting bigger and bigger. Right now, I am 15 weeks and our baby is about the size of a clenched fist. So cute. I love our little bundle of joy. We have a Dr. Appointment today, but I cant wait for the next one, we should find out the sex by then. YAY!

My husband got the job! I'm very excited for him...but we are concerned about weather he is going to be here during the delivery of our baby. We don't know exactly when the academy is, or weather it will be here in town or in San Diego. If the academy is here, he will most likely be there. If its in San Diego, then its all about timing. Its frustrating, but you do what you gotta do, and I support him no matter what. I'm just having mixed emotions right now because both occasions are important. His career will help us in the long run, but its our first born, and I don't want him to miss it. Either way, things always work out for us, so we will deal with it when the time comes.
