A much needed project done!!!

With a little one on the way we had a problem we've needed to solve. We have three bedrooms and a second child coming! Up until now, Erik has been using one of the bedrooms as his office, which he has totally needed for studying and will continue to need for the next four years of dental school. We weren't sure what we were going to do until we had a brilliant plan! Our front room was massive and basically a waste of space. So, I thought how about building an office in there and just making our sitting room a little smaller! Turns out, that was an awesome plan and thanks to our good friend Josh, who is an awesome carpenter, he and Erik made that dream come true! Now, we have a room for Konner and Erik has an office all to himself! Here's the room before and our journey to the end!

My sitting room now from the front door. A little smaller than it was but totally worth it!

Don't mind my mantle, I'm still decorating!!!

Hmm, not sure why!

Why is it when people ask you what you're naming your baby you hesitate like you're waiting for the birth and the big reveal?! Well, that's how I feel anyway. So if you don't already know his name, you'll see in a couple of months and if you do, Shhhhhhhh. Lol. Just kidding. His name is going to be..........drum roll please...................Konner David Foisy!!! My grandpa's name was (moms dad) David and Erik's brother is David. That's two good people to name him after. At least I think so. I never met my Grandpa. He died when my mom was sixteen so it kind of means a lot to me to be able to name him after someone I'm sure I would have loved. A couple of people have been asking so there you have it! :)

I just haven't..............

Okay so I've realized I haven't blogged anything nice about this pregnancy! I feel kind of bad for that. I have a whole journal about my pregnancy with Avery and with this little boy, nothing. I think it's because now I have a child that distracts me to no end so I rarely accomplish all that I want to. Well I am 28 weeks today and this is what I'm thinking:
1- When I rub vitamin E oil on my stomach it really looks like a greased up butterball turkey! Gross.
2- I don't feel him move that often, which I believe is because I have placenta previa and the placenta is right in front. I feel him move but it seems like I should feel it a lot more.
3- I have gotten leg cramps more than I would like to even think about. One hurt so bad at about six in the morning, I woke up throwing the blankets off of me in a panic because I was in so much pain.
4- I constantly have acid in my throat. It feels like my food just sits in my esophagus waiting to make its presence known.
5-I get pretty bad ligament cramps on the sides of my stomach when I sleep. Sometimes, it's hard to even roll over.
6-Avery loves to kiss my tummy and talk to her baby brother. She too thinks she has a baby in her tummy.
7- My back has hurt so bad, I haven't been able to accomplish all the tasks I would like.
8-I definitely have weird dreams!
9- My thighs now rub together and I can't stand that! Of course not in jeans but when I'm in the buff and it irritates me. When I'm not pregnant, my thighs DO NOT rub together.
10- I've gained 20 something lbs. I'm not getting on the scale to confirm the 20 something. I kind of don't want to know.
Sounds pleasant doesn't it?! You're probably thinking, does she ever have a good day? Yes, of course I do. These are just the things about this pregnancy that really stand out to me. It's definitely different than Avery. I already loooove this boy and I can't wait to meet him!!!

Labor day weekend!!!

For Labor day, we went up to Mount Charelston with some friends and got out of the heat. The kids loved it! Avery wore her self completely out! She crashed on the way home. She loves going up there. Often she ask if we can go see the mountains! So cute!

This is why girls are so much fun!

I loooove curling Avery's hair, however, it can be a hassle. She moves her head around a lot and she tries to touch the dang curling iron. But among all that, I decided to curl for church last Sunday and I just love it. It's so cute and she felt so "pitty". It's things like this that make having a girl sooo much fun!

San Diego!!!!!

This past weekend, we went to San Diego with our friends the Conders! We went to Sea World, the Zoo, the beach, and we toured a huge Navy battle ship that was operating during WWII and took a stroll down the pier. I absolutely love our family vacations. It was definitely a must this year. With Erik starting Dental school in a week and a half and a baby on the way, we definitely needed this trip. It was really hard to come home. I didn't want to get back to real life :( But, if we can, we plan to head that way every year but next year, we'll try something new since we've done those two years in a row! Warning, picture over load and I didn't even down load them all cause I got sick of waiting for it! Enjoy........we had a blast!

Hanging out down at the pier. Avery and her cute friend Addison!

Getting Avery to smile for pictures is like pulling teeth. It rarely happens without a fight!

Avery was quite taken by the shark encounter. She loved it!

Avery's absolute favorite thing is the polar bears! So she loved this!

This was kind of funny cause she went running to Grover. She loooved him!

A day of fun tuckered this one right out!

Our good friends the Conder's

A guy came over to our table and made the girls balloon animals. They loved it!

The Navy ship we toured.

Our little jail birds!

This helicopter is similar to the one that took Erik and Brandon into Kuwait so it was fun to put the girls on it so they could be just like their daddy's!

No words, I just love the beach!

Ouch!!!

With this boy in my belly, I am in some pain! I seriously don't remember any of this with Avery. I tell myself maybe it's because I'm older. Well okay, I'm about three years older but should that really make that big of a difference? My back is killing me and not to be gross but my boobs are so big, they are causing the back pain! By the end of the day, I just want to lay flat and no longer be responsible for lugging those puppies around. Just the very idea of them getting bigger when they fill up with milk is making me cringe. (They didn't with Avery because I didn't make any milk!) They can't possibly and if they do, I am going to seriously be suffering and nothing will fit. I need a live in massage therapist. Sorry to rant but for real, this hurts :(

Happy birthday Erik and pioneer days!

First, happy birthday to my sweet husband who turned 29 on Monday! Apparently, he is turning four. See how there is only four candles? He was supposed to pick up a 2 and a 9 while he was at the store but he says he "forgot." I think he just didn't want to see those two numbers put together! Well, I love this man and I can't believe I've known him since he was 18! I made him one of his favs, carrot cake and I have to say, it turned out pretty tasty! I'll definitely be making that one again!

Avery is absolutely in love with this kid! She talks about him every single day!

Pioneer days was a blast! We got to hang out with some good friends, enjoy some fun entertainment and celebrate our Mormon pioneers!
