Anouncements, anouncements, anoouuncements!

Well, for those of you whom I have not told yet...which is pretty slim pickin's considering how excited me and Gjanden are...I'm pregnant! Yep, Gideon is going to be an older brother and Reed and Marian will have another cousin to play with. Well, I guess they will anyways because my brothers wife is expeting a baby in July. Also, my sister Aliesha is pregnant...about 6 weeks ahead of me.
So for the next few months, every time that my family get's together it will be a wonderful, hormone filled experience for all. I'm fairly certain that I can hear everybody else groaning in horror at the prospect but the only person I really feel bad for is my brother Matthew who is coming home from his mission on Friday. At least everybody else has had a chance to get used to hormonal women seeing as how quite a few of us are married. Poor Matthew won't even be able to look at a girl, much less deal with us 3 hormonal women.
As for how Gjanden and I are doing...we're doing fairly well. We're both really excited, though Gjandens feeling a lot of pressure to provide. I am just feeling plain old sick. When I was pregnant with Gideon I didn't have as bad of morning sickness but this time it's nearly overwhelming. With Gideon I didn't have any food aversions but this time I can't take more than two bites of something without starting to gag and wanting to throw it back up. And I've tried just about everything that I can think of....including water. I get sick just drinking water. It's frustrating. I think it would be a great way to lose weight...if I weren't pregnant and trying to keep another little life alive! Hopefully the next six weeks go by quickly and I'll be able to stomach more things again.
I'm due sometime around the end of October, beginning of November. Gjanden and I are hoping that it comes in October so that we don't have to celebrate our anniversary and our childs birthday on the same day. So for those who didn't know...now you do! YAY!

Valentines Day and the past few weeks.

Well, last month we celebrated Valentines Day. Gjanden and I had a wonderful time in which we got to go out to eat at Red Lobster. The food was delicious! And the company was even better. Aliesha babysat Gideon for us so that we could go out and we returned the favor about a week later by babysitting their kids so that they could go out to eat and go to a movie. All in all it was really fun.

My brother in law Jeff also babysat for us on a Saturday so that we could go and see Twilight with my family. I got in quite a lot of trouble after we got back because apparently Gideon had a near break down when Jeff tried to take him outside to play in the grass. He was fine inside and when Jeff was holding him, but when Jeff tried to put him in the grass he started screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs and it only got worse when he turned around and the sun was directly in his eyes. Jeff said that he had never believed in Vampires until he saw Gideon screaming himself to death at the sight of the sun. So I got quite the tounge lashing for not taking Gideon outside very much. In my defense, the ground near our home has been covered in snow for the past few months...and who wants to freeze their child to death?

The past couple of weeks, Gideon and I have had a cold and are just at the tail end of it. So if you haven't seen us in a while, that's probobly why. And that's all that's been going on in our lives recently. So until next time, adieu.
