Halloween Party

Last night my work had a Halloween party for the residents so Matthew and I dressed up as Batman and Bat girl. It was fun!

Rhett Jeffrey Grumbles

Isn't he cute! He weighs 7 lbs and 11 oz. and he is 20.5 inches long. He is so cute! We have such a good looking nephew!

Our Baby Girl!

It's for sure! We are going to have a baby Girl! We are so excited and we can't wait to see her! Here she is at 20 weeks! She weighs 12 oz. she is approx. 6 in. from her head to her little bottom and her heart rate is 150 beats per minute.

Baby Update

Tomorrow Matthew and I go for our 20th week ultrasound at 10:30 to find out the sex of our baby. We think it's a girl based off our ultrasound at 15 weeks, but it may be different and tomorrow we will know for sure. Well.... if the baby lets us see we will know for sure. :)
Its only 9:44 this beautiful Sunday morning and I get off work at 3:00 this afternoon. I'm hungry already and I really want to eat my lunch Matthew made for me.
Speaking of my darling Husband he has come a long way since I have been pregnant. Before I was pregnant I did most of the cleaning and cooking and other household chores, but since finding out we are going to have a baby he does everything. He does the dishes, goes grocery shopping, cleans our place, makes me lunch whenever I'm home or packs my lunch when I'm going to work, he even provides snacks for the day if we are going out, he does the laundry, and he cooks! It's funny cause now when I try to help him out by doing the dishes he says I don't place them correctly in the proper place in the dishwasher or when we go grocery shopping together he says he spends more money with me than without me so he kindly asked if he could go alone next time. I feel so useless. The things I used to always do I suddenly can't do them at all. I'm not complaining. I'm just not used to him doing everything for me. I really do appreciate the things he is doing and I'm very thankful to have him by my side through this adventure.

I'm 1 day away from 20 weeks and I feel great! Even though my clothes don't fit and I really dislike going shopping because nothing ever fits right, I can't wait to be a mommy! My tummy is popping out more and I can feel it kick inside. It's crazy to think our bundle of joy will be here soon. :) Time is flying by like crazy and it makes me both excited and nervous because I can't wait to see who our baby looks like more, but I'm nervous about the labor. Ah!
My Nephew will be here any day within these next 2 weeks and I can't wait! Our babies will only be 4 1/2 months apart. I keep my phone next to me at all times waiting anxiously that Ashley is in labor.
Tomorrow I will post how our ultrasound went, but till then have a great rest of the day! :)

Yosemite Vacation

Matthew and I went to Yosemite from Sunday to Friday. It's been a family tradition to go every year before the new school year. I didn't take any pictures except for these ones on the last morning we were there. Matthew and I have seen bears in Yosemite before but this year we saw one that was in front of the cabin right next to us! My brother goes out and runs every morning and I was getting Roxy our dog to go potty and the next thing I know my brother bangs on our door saying bear bear! I pushed Roxy back in her carrier grabbed my camera and walked out our door to see this cute brown bear next door. It was eating this peanut butter thing. A guy walked by and kinda scared the bear and asked my dad if it was a bear? My dad said, no it's a deer. The guy then said, oh it looked like a bear. Then my dad said, no it's just a deer in a Bear's costume. The guy said, oh! haha we were all laughing so hard. He worked for Yosemite so I hope his job wasn't something important that can cause big problems if he isn't paying attention because clearly he couldn't tell a bear from a deer. We also found out our dog loves the water. When we went down to our favorite beach called Cathedral we put her on her leash and she followed us into the water, played with her water toys, and swam swam swam! We had such a good time with her this trip. She was such a good girl! This was a great family trip! My parents have decided to go to Yosemite every other year so we can do a house boat the year we don't go to Yosemite. Can't wait! Especially since there will be two little babies next year. My brother's boy and my whatever it is! :) Pictures to come on my belly soon. :)

Nifty Fifty Party!

This Party was one of my activities that I planned and it was a 50's night for the residents. As you can see we all had a great time!

New Job!

If you all remember I had an interview about 2 weeks ago and I found out today I got the job for the second time! I know the "second time" doesn't make sense so I will explain. First of all it took a while to hear back the first time cause she had a few more interviews to do and she was supposedly going to tell me last Monday if I got it or not, but the guy she needed to speak with was on vacation and that she will call me either way by Thursday at the latest. Well on Monday last week I found out that I was pregnant so I had a choice to tell or not to tell the lady who might hire me. I finally came to the conclusion to be honest with her since I knew her from Matthew's previous property he worked for. I figured that yeah I could have told her after she hired me, but I would hate to put her in that situation. I didn't know what to do because I wanted this job, but I also knew what my heart was telling me and that was to just be honest no matter what happens. On Thursday she called and immediately I told her that I was pregnant and that I completely understood if she didn't want to hire me now. She was very grateful that I told her the truth and that she really wanted me for the position! So that was the first time I got the job. She said that I would have been a great person to work with and that I would have been great with the residents, but she understood that family comes first. She told me that she has never been in this situation so she was going to talk with someone and see what they say about it. Well today she called and asked me if I still would like the position, so now I got the job for the second time! She said that she knows I may not stay after the baby is born, but that maybe my mind may change if I need the money at the end of 8 months and I totally agreed. She said I will be perfect for this job and the fact that I'm pregnant did not change her mind in any way. I told her that I was really grateful because I was already thinking that she was going to hire someone else since it would be in her best interest to hire someone to stay for a long time. She understood but she really wanted me for this job.
So I took the job and I will be starting the job around July 20th! I'm really excited to get started! I will be a part time Activities Director for a 55+ apartment community! Funny how life works out when you least expect it!
