iPhone Photos

I decided to copy my cousin Stefanie's idea about posting pictures from my iPhone since that's mainly what I use on a daily basis for a camera. Thanks Stef!! :) 

Cirrus with her I Love Petsmart frisbee, I really should send this picture in because she is literally posing with the brand new frisbee. We didn't position her or the frisbee it just so happens that's how she set it down. Pretty Cute!

Cirrus loves daddies futon in his office, it's where she sleeps while he does homework or during the nights when she gets shoved off of the bed. 

20 weeks to the day

At our 20 week ultrasound, everything looked great. I didn't get a phone call or anything so I'm assuming that means that everything is fine with Baby Kramer. We have our monthly check up on Thursday May 3rd to go over everything from the ultrasound. 

My new "do" thanks to Ms. Morgi at our salon! I was in desperate desperate desperate need of a change!

Our Spud Garden! Potatoes GALORE!

My 1st rose bush on my 10 rose bushes that I have 

This past weekend was car show here in Moab, I only took one picture mainly because I LOVED how this car sparkled in the sun. The chrome pieces all were sprayed with silver sparkle. My type of car!!

I did a new system on my nails called the dip n go system, basically you put the tip on, shorten it to desired length, apply glue and dip in clear acrylic. No liquid is necessary. I'm doing a trial run on myself to see how they last and how the growing out process works. 

Just one of the beautiful trees in our back yard!

21 weeks!!

How far along? 21 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: As of last month I had actually lost 2 pounds, my next dr.'s appointment is the first week of May so we shall see if I've gained anything yet....
Maternity clothes? a few capri's but most of my shorts & dresses work just great so far! Lovin' the warm weather!
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Besides getting up to pee about 7 times I sleep pretty good, depends on how I exerted my body earlier that day. I can definitely tell if I over did it in the garden/yard or the house.
Best moment this week: When I get worried cause I haven't felt him move for a few hours & then I get nice little kick right by my belly button :)
Miss Anything? Nothing really.....that I can think of right now. 
Movement: He mainly moves around lunch time and right after dinner and before bed time
Food cravings: I love Crystal's Cakes & Cones but I wouldn't say it's a craving. I haven't really had any in the second trimester just the first.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nada
Have you started to show yet: Yes most definitely!!! LOL
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In - still looks the same
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: one happy camper.
Looking forward to: the not so HOT weather we get here in Moab. I'm loving the 80's right now & am not ready for it to be in the 100's

Sunday Easter 2012

We woke up Sunday Easter morning SUPER excited for this day! We have known the gender for about 2 weeks now and it's been eating at us to tell EVERYONE! I think it was harder for Chris than me only because I was planning this big day and knew how excited and fun it would be for everyone. Our day went as follows, we woke up and got ready for church, went to church, picked up the cupcakes, stopped for a last minute grocery trip, headed home, threw the hams in the oven, decorated the house, made other food items, picked up the back yard, did dishes, then people started to arrive. From when church got out at 11:15 to when people showed up at 2 I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to make sure everything was perfect, in the end I realized it didn't matter if it was perfect, the day in itself would be perfect! 

When we woke up somebody had put this huge pink tablecloth with "It's a Girl" in our front yard with about 50 forks YES FORKS sticking in the ground. Still to this day we have NO CLUE who did this! 

My cute girls posing for daddy and their Easter pictures

Pink & Blue Balloons

Me in front of the house, we wrapped pink and blue ribbon around the pillars 

Deviled Eggs, Bean Dip, and Fruit Salad

Potato Salad, Shirleys famous Beans

My 2 DELICIOUS hams! (if I do say so myself)

We had everyone who came wear what color they believed the baby would be, so of course our girls had to be in on the festivities as well. Chris and I decided that if the girls could talk and put their vote in this is what they would say. Cirrus would say "I want a boy, someone who will throw my ball/frisbee a thousand times and I would get tired before he would" Kyra would say "I want a girl, someone who will brush my hair and paint my fingernails and let me snuggle her"

The cupcakes before everyone dug into them

Everybody just biting into their cupcakes & soon to be Grandpa Curt (the one with his fist in the air) just realizing he is going to have a grandson OH and that he was right on his vote! :)

My mom and Grandpa John, getting ready to bite into their cupcakes, I think in the end we had 10 votes for a girl and 8 for boys. It came down to basically the women wore pink and the men wore blue. There is only one granddaughter in the family so the girls are WAY out numbered to say the least!

Aunt Connie & soon to be Grandpa Curt

Chris & I even decided to join in with the festivities, I wore pink & he wore blue! Just to throw everybody off! They were all SURE it was a girl because I was wearing Pink! :) hahaha

Nana & Grandpa John - see what I mean Pink & Blue

.....anything like me.....

This Easter we decided to have a big get together with our families and we decided this is when we would let them know what gender Baby Kramer was going to be. I'll do another blog with all of the pictures from the party this is just letting you all know what Baby Kramer is as well!

Is it a boy?

Is it a girl?

IT'S A BOY!!!!

Chris and I are SUPER excited to be adding a prince charming to our little family! We both wanted a boy first (even though if you know the Brewer family, if you MARRY into the family you are ONLY going to get boys, so we knew it was going to be a boy) :-). I remember back a few years ago this Brad Paisley song came out and it just reminded me of Chris and our future son! So here are the lyrics to

Anything Like Me!

I remember saying I don't care either way

Just as long as he or she is healthy I'm ok

Then the doctor pointed to the corner of the screen

And said "You see that thing right there well you know what that means"

And I started wondering who he was going to be

And I thought heaven help us if he's anything like me

He'll probably climb a tree too tall and ride his bike to fast

End up every summer wearing something in a cast

He's gonna throw a ball and break some glass in a window down the street

He's gonna get in trouble oh he's gonna get in fights

I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep

It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me

I can see him right now knees all skinned up

With a magnifying glass trying to melt a Tonka truck

Won't he be a sight with his football helmet on

That'll be his first love til his first love comes along

He'll get his heart broke by the time he's in his teens

And heaven help him if he's anything like me

He'll probably stay out too late and drive his car too fast

Get a speeding ticket he'll pay for mowing grass

He's gonna get caught skipping class and be grounded for a week

He's gonna get in trouble we're gonna get in fights

I'm gonna lose my temper and some sleep

It's safe to say that I'm gonna get my payback if he's anything like me

He's gonna love me and hate me along the way

Years are gonna fly by I already dread the day

He's gonna hug his momma, he's gonna shake my hand

He's gonna act like he cant wait to leave

But as he drives out he'll cry his eyes out

If he's anything like me there's worse folks to be like

Aw he'll be alright if he's anything like me

What kind of pregnancy test did you take? Clear Bllue

How many? Only 1. We took the test at 5 in the morning (the earlier the better) :-)

What were your first symptoms? Ummmm....I actually felt really good. So other than missed mother nature and being more tired I didn't really have any until I hit about 9 weeks.

Any ultrasounds? 3 so far!

Have you heard the heartbeat? I can listen to it every night at home if I'd like thanks to my at home doppler!

Who do you think baby will look like? Well Chris and I have a lot of similarities so our poor child will most likely have a 5 head not a forehead (4 head) LOL, a very round head, and dimples galore!

Will baby have any siblings? other than 3 Fur Babies, No!

Have you and dad felt baby move yet? I have felt the baby move, at least I think I have. Not quite sure.

When did you start to show? The question should really be, When did you not just feel bloated? ;-) about 15 weeks.
