What's up with Bryce

I have not forgotten about my other two rascals. I will write two separate posts, so I guess I will start with Bryce. He has two weeks of school left and he is very excited, even though he does have to attend summer school for three weeks, but it will only be half days. Cody and I placed him in soccer at the last part April and first part of May, for a hyper kid you need something on the side to keep him occupied. He enjoyed it, he had a tough time when he wouldn't make the goals and would beat himself up. He is having a hard time understanding the meaning of teamwork, but I hope he comes around. He did make a few goals for the other team and that is when he would really beat himself up.

As for school, it has taken him quite sometime to make friends. School is almost over and he is just now at the point where he wants to associate with his classmates. According to his doctor, Bryce has a hard time interacting with others due to his ADHD. However, I am extremely proud of him, because he has come a long way in the past few months after leaving his school in Greenwood. I have to give credit where credit is due, to his teacher Ms. Parent, she has helped him in tremendously. She has worked with him daily in order to catch him up with everything a kindergartner needs to know. He was extremely behind, of course this is a whole other store of why he is so far behind, I will not even get into it. Of course, Bryce deserves much of the credit as well, he has worked very hard with Ms. Parent, so he can move onto the next grade. Like I mentioned before, I am extremely proud of my son, he has overcome the obstacles that were in his way and will be graduating from kindergarten at the end of May. Of course, he does have to go to summer school, so things will stay fresh in his mind, before he starts 1st.

First Purchases

I have already went on my first little, very little, shopping trip for the baby. I couldn't help myself, I have been waiting quite sometime to finally have my little girl. Oh, and we do have a name, I am pretty sure that it will not change. Her name will be Grayson Ruth Hathorn. Some people have already started calling her Gracie, which I had a feeling would happen, her daddy being one of these people.

Back to the first purchases made for her. I bought two little sleepers, slippers, and a blanket. Beverly bought two pair of shoes. Now I just have to find those cute little dresses, which will be hard right now, since summer clothes are out. I guess I will be buying sleepers for right now.

Boy or Girl?

The day every pregnant woman waits for during her pregnancy, other than the birth of her child, the day she receives her sonogram to let her know how the baby is growing and to find out what it may be, if she chooses to find out.

Wednesday, May 14th: The anticipated day
My appointment was not until 2:00, however I knew that it would go by fast, because I had to take Cody to the doctor that morning. We spent most of our morning at the doctor, because Cody has been having such horrible headaches and dizzy spells. We arrived at my appointment 10 minutes late and had to wait until 4:15 before they finally called us. The sonogram tech asked us right off if we wanted to know the sex of the baby, I was still unsure, and Cody said YES. However, I did say that if Cody was able to get off of work and go with me, I would find out the sex of the baby. After having two healthy boys, I started grinding my teeth waiting for her to tell me it was another boy, even though my gut feeling was that I would finally be having my girl. As she tried to get the baby to move into a certain position in order to tell us the sex, I could feel my hands shaking and my breathing come to a halt. Finally, she finds the position of the baby, IT'S A GIRL!!!!! I, literally, started crying on the table. I am overjoyed.

THE PROOF
A facial shot, she is trying to get her thumb into her mouth to suck.

Her tiny little feet.
The doctor came in after the sonogram tech took her shots of the baby and confirmed that it is a girl. At this time she weighs 15oz.

Baby Update...

I had a dr. appt. on Wed. 4/30/08, all is well. He scheduled my sonogram for May 14th around 2:00. I did ask my husband to join me, it makes it difficult though, because he is in Hobbs, NM, so he may or may not join me. I would really like to have him there though. He was unable to make the appointments when I was expecting Wyatt, he even missed out on the sonogram. Since this will be our last child, I think you get the picture. Maybe he will read this and feel somewhat guilty and try harder to get off.

Sorry, kind of got off track. I keep forgetting to ask for my measurements, so I can keep track of them. But, I do know that he measured right under my belly button, and he said I was growing fast. He asked me if I was feeling any movement, of course, I let him know that I was feeling the quickening movements or maybe it is just gas. As of yesterday, I did feel the baby kick for the first time, it was not a hard kick, but I could tell the difference between something that feels like a gas bubble and a kick.

Easter

I know, I am very behind on my posts. So, at this time I am just going to put up some pics that I took over the Easter weekend. 1st pics are of Bryce's Easter egg hunt at school.

On your mark get set GO!!!!!

The Kindergarten class has so many eggs, Wyatt was even able to hunt with the kids. Of course, he stayed in one very small area in order not to get trambled by the bigger kids hunting.

Easter egg hunt out at the farm...

2nd checkup

I had my second checkup today. I am now 14 weeks along in my pregnancy, the babies heartbeat was around 130, and I have lost a pound (that is a first in all of my pregnancies). The doctor just informs me that I am on schedule. I guess we will find out more in about a month or month and a half, when I have my sonogram. It is still up in the air at this point, if I really want to find out the sex of the baby at that point.

As for the morning sickness, I have finally overcome hanging my head over the throne at any given time of the day. I still feel queasy during the day and have some bad headaches, but all in all it is going well. I did go walking with Beverly and Sharon the other night and I guess I over did it, because I experienced some major cramping and stretching pains in my abdomen. The nurse informed me that I needed to ease back into walking, of course I figured that much.

The Final One!

I went to the doctor yesterday for my first check up. I am 10 weeks along and due September 25th. This is our third child and final child, which we were not expecting at all, surprise!! I heard the heartbeat, Wyatt was with me and he was also able to hear it, but he, of course, did not understand what any of it meant, he just had a puzzled look on his face. I am sure it will be the same look that I will be getting over the course of the pregnancy and when the baby arrives. The summer will be tough, because by then I am sure I will be huge. I am not sure, at this time, if I want to know the babies sex. I guess once I am scheduled for my sonogram, I might change my mind, we will see.

That is all for now, everyone is well and we are adjusting to living in Pecos for a little while.
