Baby Scheller #2

We had our ultrasound today. Baby Scheller is doing well. Looks healthy and is very active! We also found out that we are having….A BOY! Yay for James, I think he really needs another boy in this house! Here are a couple pictures from the ultrasound!

Due date hasn’t changed(3/20/2012), but by the measurements it was a few days different, saying the EDD as 3/17/2012. Which would make it James’ birthday! Who knows, but we’ll sure have fun no matter what!

Kylie was a little upset at the ultrasound because she didn’t know what was happening to mommy and she just wanted me to hold her. I felt bad and as soon as we knew it would be her baby brother, James took her out to the waiting room where the receptionists gave her a coloring book and crayons and some juice. She was better by the time I got out. She says she's excited for her little brother, but we will see in another 23 weeks if she still feels that way!

Issues

Sorry about the last post. I'm having issues with Blogger and getting it to look right.

Summer 2011

We put Kylie in swim lessons this summer. She was in a parent/toddler class. Which means I got to go in with her every week. We signed up with her friend Annabelle and her mom. They didn’t do much other than teach the basics of swimming such as kicking their legs and scooping with their arms. Then they sang a bunch of songs to get the kids used to being in the water. Kylie did well some days, but acted like a two year old other days. She would kick sometimes and scoop others, but one thing she never wanted to do (I managed to get her to do it once) was blow bubbles in the water. The instructor even got whistles to try and help blow bubbles, but Kylie was not having it. We’ll work on her in the bath tub until next time we do swim.

Sorry some pictures are dark, but we did the best with could. James is still learning how to use the camera!

Potty Training

We feel Kylie would be potty trained within a week if we could just do it, but being pregnant, I just can’t handle the smells of the bathroom. However that does include the smells of diapers too. Luckily Kylie usually only goes poopy in the potty. Which helps with the smell of the diapers, but the smell in the bathroom doesn’t help much. It also doesn’t help that we live in an apartment that is older than dirt. It is a great place, location, and price, but it is old and smells musty if the central air fan isn’t running most of the day. So we try to get Kylie to go potty on the potty so she can be potty trained before out next baby comes along. I would love to only buy diapers for one kid. So if anyone has any advice on potty training while pregnant let me know. Anything to help with the smells will be great. (Or advice on getting rid of a musty/old smell too)

(I figured I should put a couple pictures in this post. These are two of the most recent ones taken.)

It's been a while...

I know it's been a LONG while since I have posted anything on here. There has been a lot going on and I really should have been posting. I'm not going to post any pictures here, but will just give a quick update.

James is in his third year of Dental School. YAY! Ready to be done and if you ask him he will say only 19 months!

Kylie turned 2 and is very active. She loves to dance and sing. She doesn't usually sing actually words all the time, but she always has to have a "mic" to sing into. She'll use anything! Anytime we are in the car and the radio is turned off she asks for music. She is really funny. I started calling her a goofball and now if I say, "Kylie you are silly." She says, "I not silly, I goofball Kylie!" We love her to death and think that come March next year she will make an excellent big sister.

Yes this leads into the next big thing. I'm pregnant. I'm 14 1/2 weeks along now. Things are going good, other than being sick since the beginning. Kylie has been such a great helper. On days when I'm really sick, she will bring a little "cup" (any toy of hers that could hold something) and tell me she has medicine. Then she says all better. I am thankful that she is such a great kid and understands when mommy is sick. We have had great help from James' parents as well as ward members because when we first found out I was pregnant and started getting sick, James had surgery on his foot. We were a great match with a two year old. Thanks to all our wonderful help!

Well that is a quick update for now. On October 14th we should be finding out what we are having. We scheduled it so James could come to this appointment. Hopefully I will write again soon, but if not sorry!
