And the baby is.......

So we had our appointment for the ultra sound yesterday morning, And we are going to be having another little girl!!!! We are so excited! Bentlee Christensen is due on September 24th but I will have her a week early since I will be having a C-Section. Guess the Chinese prediction chart was wrong this time. Bentlee not to my surprise was a little stinker during the ultra sound and would not cooperate at all. She had her legs crossed as tight as they would go and she was not going to show us anything!! Finally after taking a trip to the restroom, She pulled a Brittney Spears and flashed us long enough for the doctor to see that she in fact was a girl. I called to tell Paityn and she said "but mom I told you that I wanted a baby brother". I told her that this baby was a girl and now she would have someone to play dress up with. "fine, but once my baby sister grows up then can you have a baby brother". I cracked up and told her I would see what we could do. Bentlee is absolutely perfect and was a very healthy little girl! She has long legs like her momma (which really is not a huge surprise if you have seen Paityn.) I cant wait for her to get here so I can see her!!

Baby predictions

A friend at church told me today about this Chinese prediction chart and how accurate it is suppose to be. You basically get on go to the age you will be when you have the baby and the month you concieved and it will tell you what you are "going" to have. Well according to the chart it says that this baby should be a boy...... Not to sure what I think about that, Of coarse I will love it either way but im not sure if I will know what to do with a boy. I looked it up to see if it was right about Paityn and it was, So I guess that we will have to wait a couple more weeks to find out for sure!!

Reflecting...

Today I found out that 2 friends that I went to high school with both died. They themselves were friends which is even more sad, especially that Trent died on the way home from the other ones funeral.It made me start thinking about how much I take forgranted every day. When I talk to my family or friends I never stop to think that this could be one of the last times I ever get to see them or talk to them, I just assume that they will always be here. But that is so not the case, Life is fical and fragile here one day and gone the next. It breaks my heart for these two familes such great young men gone way before they ever should have been!! It also makes me want all of you to know how much I truely do love and appreciate you all. I know that I dont say it nearly enough and thats my bad for not making sure everyone knows how much they mean to me. What if I dont say I love you to Douglas before he goes to work and that was my last chance too? I would never forgive myself for not telling him how much he truely means to me and how much I love and appreciate the good man that he is! I sometimes get annoyed with how much Paityn will tell me in a day how much she loves me, How dumb am I?? Seriously I should take it and enjoy it always! She is such an amazing little girl and such a true example to me on how life should be lived, And that is to the very fullest!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!

Updates and News....

Ok well since that it has been a while since I was on here and posted anything, I thought maybe that I would update you all about what has been going on in our crazy lives. We got moved back to Box Elder county finally on January 9th and have been loving every min of being back and our new house!! Its so nice and cozy!! Much better than the single wide in freaking Wendover!! (Ugh I seriously never go back there unless I absolutely have too!!) Douglas has really liked working up here so far and seems to really like all of the guys on his crew. It took him a couple days to get use to the new area and actually having other guys on at the same time that he is. Paityn has been so happy about living closer to Mema and Papa and all of our other family memebers. We also just found out that we are going to be having another baby in September, I am super excited about it but have been so sick with this baby. I dont ever remember feeling like this when I was pregnant with Paityn. Doug is a little nervous about it but seems to be excited as well. Paityn is excited as long as it will be a girl, She is disgusted with the thought of having a little brother. I try to tell her that having a little brother will be fun because then she wont have to share her toys or clothes, She really doesnt seem to mind the thought of sharing. She tells me all the time that her baby sister can sleep in her old crib and wear her clothes and play with her toys. She even told me that she would get her baby sister out of the crib!!! (Oh PLEASE NO!!!) It will be an adjustment for her but it will be a good one!! Well thats really all that I can think of at the moment to update you with.

Moving

So its finally real to me that we get to move at the end of the week. I cant wait!! I can honestly say that I will never ever come back to Wendover unless I am drugged and thrown into a trunk of a car. It will be nice to be able to be closer to family and friends and actually be in civilization!!! Paityn will be so happy to be back closer to her mema and papa and now grandma Karen and grandpa Curtis!! Douglas will be glad to finally be out of here after 3 1/2 years lol, I have no idea how he has lived out here for as long as he has!! He must be insane or really love his job haha!!

Merry Christmas!

I hope that all of you were able to have a very merry Christmas!! Our first Christmas as a family was a good one!! We woke Paityn up around 7:30 and she tried to ignore me for a min, until I said Merry Christmas Pait. Then she shot out of bed and declared that she wanted to open all of her presents. I must say that she made out pretty dang good for such a little girl! Tons and tons of toys and clothes. Douglas and I had a great day as well! I love the holidays but will be glad when they are over because this means that we are that much closer to moving back home and being closer to our families and friends. I love you all and hope you had a great day everyone!!

The end is near!!!!!!!!

Ok first off no I have not lost my mind and am trying to predict the end of the world, I am however saying that there is an end in sight of us living out here in this ever so lovely town of Wendover!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!! Oh I have never been so excited to leave somewhere before in my entire life!!! The date that we can move is the 8th of January!!!! Now we just need to find somewhere to live up north so that we wont be homeless haha :) I probably wouldnt even mind if it meant that we could be out of here!!!!
